Master Production Schedule

Form ID: (AM201000)

Note: This form is available only if the Material Requirements Planning feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

The master production schedule is entered manually by the master planner. Based on the results, the master planner will decide what needs to be produced. Management will often need to approve what will be produced based on the cost of materials. MRP will then plan all the requirements based on the MPS. In addition, the MPS is treated as a preplanned production order and will act as a supply for other demand requirements.

It is expected that MPS orders will be converted to production orders by using the Inventory Planning Display (AM400000) form.
