	Press <enter> key.
	The variant code should not be left blank. If it is left blank, then the system displays an error message. If the item and the variant are specified, then the item should be planned at the MPS level as defined in the “Item Administration” business component. If the item is not planned at MPS level, then the system displays an error message. Otherwise, the system retrieves the material planners from “Item - Warehouse Planning Parameters” page. The system retrieves the validity dates for the item/variant from “Item Administration” business component. If the item is not valid on the current date, then the system displays an error message.

The system displays the following:

Desc.	The description for the combination of item/item variant.
	Zoom facility available.

Enter the following:

Plg. Group	The code identifying the planning group. If the planning group is specified, then it should be valid in the planning group master for the login Business Unit and should in “Active” status from “Item Administration” business component. The system retrieves the validity dates and the material planner for the planning group from “Item Administration” business component. If the planning group is not valid on the current date, then the system displays an error message.
	Help facility available.
Matl. Planner	Use the drop-down list box to select the material planners defined in the control unit for which the login user has at least “View” access permission. The system retrieves the material planners in ascending order for the specified planning group. The system displays the default value based on the save template field or based on the default value specified in the “User Permission” page. Otherwise, the system displays the “First Value” by default on launch of the page. The system checks whether the material planner is left blank. If it is left blank, the system displays an error message. It also checks whether the material planner has planning permission for the specified planning group or item and variant combination. If the item code/variant are specified, then the system retrieves all the warehouses for which the selected material planner is valid.

The system displays the following:

Desc.	The description of the planning group.
	Zoom facility available.

Enter the following:

Sort By

Use the drop-down list box to select the sort options. You can select from “Period” or “Source”. The system displays the default value based on the save template field or displays the “Period” by default on launch of the page.

Click the “Get” pushbutton to retrieve the item/planning group details.

If the item or variant is specified, then the system retrieves the item, variant, description, stock UOM, production UOM, planning level, MPS period and anchor date from “Item Administration” business component.

Enter the following:

Save Template

Select the check box to save the “Matl Planner”, “Release option” or “MPS Option” fields by default, which are displayed when the user revisits the page. The system leaves the box “Unchecked” by default on launch of the page.

The system displays the following:

On Hand

The physical stock of the item in the inventory before the start of the first period.

Note: All aggregations would be based on the warehouse retrieved for the material planner and planning group/item/variant.

Total WIP	The total work in process quantity. The quantity represents the sum of all the MRP work orders having status greater than or equal to “Released” for the MPS planning horizon and also the quantity which is pending for production or pending for receipt into inventory. The system also considers any past due orders.
Total MPS Qty.	The total MPS quantity. The quantity represents the sum of all the MPS work orders that are having status greater than or equal to “Accepted” and less than “Released” and all MRP work orders with pending quantity are considered for the MPS planning horizon. The system also considers any past due orders.
Prodn. UOM	The production unit of measure of the item. The system converts all the quantity to production UOM from UOM component.
Planning Level	Indicates the level of planning either at Business Unit, Organization Unit or warehouse level.
Business Unit	The business unit at which planning is done. It Indicates that the planning level is at Business Unit.

Enter the following:

Release For MRP	Select the check box to release the MPS orders for MRP. Either all MPS orders (If release completely option is selected) or only the orders belong to the release up to period can be released. The system leaves the box “Unchecked” by default on launch of the page. If MPS for planning group, then this option should not be checked.
Release Option	Use the drop-down list box to select the release options. You can select from “Complete” or “Partial”. The system displays the default value based on the save template field or displays “Complete” by default on launch of the page.
Upto	Use the drop-down list box to select the release period end dates to release the MPS orders to MRP. The system takes the MPS Planning Horizon and MPS period defined for the planning group/item/variant and splits the MPS Horizon into periods in dates. The system populates with all the period end dates. The first period is always a past due i.e. contains data for all periods before the current period. The second period is the current period, where always the period end date is displayed. The period start date is the period start based on anchor date in “Item Manufacturing Information” and current date. The first period end date is the anchor date added to the MPS period. The second period end date represents the first period end date added to the MPS period. This continues until the period end date is less than the anchor date and MPS planning horizon. The system displays the system parameter “Default MRP Release Period” by default to display the corresponding period end date. If the selected upto period is less than or equal to the last period for which the MRP release quantity is greater than zero then the system displays an error message.

The system displays the following:

MPS Period

The period based on which the release dates are split.

Enter the following:

MPS Source	Use the drop-down list box to select the MPS source options. If MPS source is "All Sources" then the system generates MPS for all the sources. Otherwise, generates the MPS for the source selected.
Plan Online	Select the check box to execute the master production schedule - by source immediately. Otherwise it will be executed as a batch process. The system leaves the box “Checked” by default on launch of the page.

The system displays the following in the “MPS Details” multiline:

Period	Indicates the period intervals. The system displays “Past Due” in the first row of the multiline and adds all the demands and supplies before first Period and displays in the respective columns.
Source	The item forecast that represents the sum of the demands with order identified as production forecast whose due date falls in the period.

Enter the following:

MPS Qty. By Source

The MPS quantity by Source represents the sum of the MPS orders or receipts aggregated by the source whose due date falls in the period, excluding “Requested” status orders in MPS.

Partial Release Qty.

Indicates the quantity partially released. If the quantity is specified, then the sum of the partial release quantity and MRP released quantity should be less than or equal to the total MPS qty for the period. The system checks the value in release option field. If release option is "Partial", then the system retrieves the partial release quantity specified in the respective period and that is the quantity to be released in each period. If release option is "Complete", then the quantity to be released in each period is determined as the difference between the total MPS quantity in the period and the MRP released quantity in the period. If partial release quantity is specified then the sum of the (partial release quantity and MRP released quantity for the period and source should be less than or equal to the MPS quantity by source for the period and source.

The system displays the following:

MRP Released	The MRP released quantity represents the sum of receipt quantity already released from the MPS to the MRP for the period aggregated by the source.
Total MPS Qty.	The total MPS quantity that represents the sum of MPS orders or receipts whose due date falls in the period excluding “Requested” status orders in MPS whose due date falls in the period.

Note: The period would be repeated as many times as the source, the system displays the Total MPS Qty only in the first row for one set of period.

Click the “Save MPS” pushbutton to save the master production schedule - by sources.

For the selected period and specified source, the system retrieves the sum of the quantity of MPS orders having status greater than or equal to “Accepted” and less than “Released” status. The system retrieves the “Difference in Quantity" as the difference between the MPS quantity by source and the sum of the (already existing MPS order quantity for the period and the source).

The system modifies or reduces any existing order for which the status is greater than or equal to “Accepted” and less than “Released' in the MPS for the item/planning group Organization Unit in the specified period and source to the extent of the "Difference in Quantity" i.e. the quantity reduced. If the pending quantity where the Difference in Quantity is less than zero still exists, then the system reduces the quantity or deletes the order on the MRP orders for the item/planning group Organization Unit having status less than “Released” in the specified period and source to the balance quantity.

The MRP Released quantity will also be reduced to the extent of the MRP order reduced/deleted. For the quantity to be released in selected periods, the system creates a new work order in MRP. The new work order in MRP would be in status “Firmed”.

The request creation, deletion and order release are done immediately if the plan online field is checked. Otherwise they are executed in batch process.
