ASCP Planning information

1. Planning Workbench - Horizontal Material Planning
Horizontal Planning A planning horizon is the period during which a plan will be in
effect. The 'planning horizon' is how far to plan forward, and is determined by how far
ahead demand is known and by the lead times through the operation.
MRP Time-phased record MRP has as base a record basic that represents the position
and the plans as respect to the production and stocks from each item which can be a raw
material, half finished product or finished product, along the time. This kind of record is
called as basic record from MRP time to time - MRP Time-phased record. The elements
from this record has yours own details (particularity) as following.
Available-to-Promise (ATP) Ability to promise product for customer orders based on
uncommitted inventory,planned production, and material.
Beginning On Hand Initial stock from MRP (Before start the calculation)
Current Scheduled Receipts Actual planned receipt or what is expect to receive from
orders already approved and in process.
Dependent Demand Demand for an item that is directly related to or derived from the
demand for other items.
Expected Scrap Scrap expect from a production order. It's common when we it's used
the backflush
Expired Lots Lots with dates from outdated expiration. It's a material in stock that must
be scraped soon.
Forecast An estimate of future demand on inventory items. A forecast contains
information on the original and current forecast quantities (before and after
consumption), the confidence factor, and any specific customer information. You can
assign any number of inventory items to the forecast and use the same item in multiple
forecasts. For each inventory item you specify any number of forecast entries.
Gross Requirements The total of independent and dependent demand for an item before
the netting of on-hand inventory and scheduled receipts. In transit Material in transit. It's
a common situation when it's used an internal requisition In receiving Material already
received, but isn't in stock (common to the situation where exist an material inspection)
Other Independent Demand It is the demand of origin of the consuming market. The
demand of origin of another piece in the company is the dependent demand
Payback Demand Temporary material transfer when one project borrows demand from
another project.

2. Payback Supply Temporary material transfer when one project lends supply to another
project.
Planned Orders A suggested quantity, release date, and due date that satisfies net item
requirements. MRP owns planned orders, and may change or delete the orders during
subsequent MRP processing if conditions change. MRP explodes planned orders at one
level into gross requirements for components at the next lower level (dependent demand).
Planned orders along with existing discrete jobs also serve as input to capacity
requirements planning, describing the total capacity requirements throughout the
planning horizon.
Projected On Hand The total quantity on hand plus the total scheduled receipts plus the
total planned orders.
Projected Available Balance Quantity on hand projected into the future if scheduled
receipts are rescheduled or cancelled, and new planned orders are created as per
recommendations made by the planning process. Calculated by the planning process as
current and planned supply (nettable quantity on hand + scheduled receipts + planned
orders) minus demand (gross requirements). Note that gross requirements for projected
available includes derived demand from planned orders. Note also that the planning
process uses suggested due dates rather than current due dates to pass down demand to
lower level items. See current projected on hand.
Purchase orders A type of purchase order you issue when you request delivery of goods
or services for specific dates and locations. You can order multiple items for each
planned or standard purchase order. Each purchase order line can have multiple
shipments and you can distribute each shipment across multiple accounts. See standard
purchase order and planned purchase order.
Requisitions See purchase requisition and internal sales order.
Safety Stock Quantity of stock planned to have in inventory to protect against
fluctuations in demand and/or supply.
Sales Orders Commitment between the salesperson and the customer Total Supply It
should includes all the entrances of material of the company (purchase orders, production
orders for finished products and sub-assemblies, material transfers)
WIP (Work in Process) An item in various phases of production in a manufacturing
plant. This includes raw material awaiting processing up to final assemblies ready to be
received into inventory.
Setting up Planner Workbench Each one from the options to the horizontal planning
described above can be configured Navigating to the Preferences window from the Tools
menu Choosing the Horizontal Material Plan tabbed region.
