["Paul LaFlamme" <laflammep@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wouldn't detail capacity planning read only firm planned orders and not
planned orders?

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....
