Use this window to generate a graph displaying the following types of cumulative Master Scheduling (MS) data for a selected Level 0 or Level 1 part: projected balance, cumulative forecast, cumulative planned receipts and projected time phased safety stock.
The selections that you make in this window determine which data will be shown on the graph. When you open the window for the first time, Level 1 is selected, the Site field displays the default user site, the MS Set field displays 1, and the Period Template field displays 1.
The time span of the data shown on the graph is based on the Begin Period number and the End Period number of the period template. In the Select Period Range dialog box, which appears when you right-click and then click Show Graph, the default period begin date is the last run date of the Level 0 or Level 1 part selected in the Part No list. The default period end date is the planning time fence date of the Level 0 or Level 1 part selected in the Part No list. The period numbers associated with these dates are also displayed. You can change these period numbers, if desired. In order to plot the graph, however, the begin date of the period template must be equal to the last run date of the Level 0 or Level 1 part selected in the Part No list. If this is not the case before you plot the graph, you can correct the template's begin and end dates by right-clicking and choosing to recalculate the period template. Another right mouse button option opens a window that shows supply and demand details for the selected part.
Note : Periods on the period template depends on the work time calendar based on which the period template was generated. Therefore to view all data, a period template based on a calendar which has seven days for its schedule has to be used. This approach can be specifically used to view forecasts on non-working days.
