RE: MRP-MPS query

["Gerald Duhon, CPIM" <gpduhon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prashanth:

Your understanding is correct. MPS Planned order will be created in 
accordance with the values defined for the item in a facility (MRP140) in 
accordance with Demand Time Fences, Minimum Balance, Lot Size, Order Policy 
and Lead Time if the MPS field is selected. Items without the MPS field 
selected are handled by the MRP600 program in accordance with the planning 
parameters for the item.

Demand from Forecasts and Customer Orders may be treated differently by 
setting different values for Demand Fence 1 and 2. My company has a DTF of 
21 days for Customer Orders only; beyond 21 days the MPS uses the Greater of 
Forecasts and Customer Orders only.
