Re: MPS - Customer Demand and General ECL Date Questions

["James Barry" <zzbpcs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

BPCS 4.05 CD..
Detail Capacity Planning job runs 2 pgms:
1. Read Detail FOD records from Open Shop Orders
   ( which were created from std Boms, Rtgs, Wrk Ctrs....
     and which may have been manually manipulated)
2. Read Planned Orders (KFP) from MRP/MPS,
   then read std Boms, Rtgs,Wrk Ctrs, Shop Calendar
   (similarly to SFC500 )

THUS
MRP/MPS Uses a lead time entry
SFC/CAP uses rtgs hours & qtys *& available days....
