Retrieve Production Line Demands

Explanation

This activity is used to retrieve the demands for a part line, that will be used for tack time calculations. You can retrieve the demands using one or more of the following  demand sources, based on the input demand selection date range. The options are:  

• Customer Order: Released customer orders that are not picked or shipped as yet.
• Customer Schedule: Planned demand schedule data for released schedules.
• Production Schedule (component demands): Component quantities required from production schedules that are not received.
• MS/MRP: Master Schedule Level 1 and MRP planned receipts.

Note: You cannot choose MS/MRP along with any other sources, as the MS/MRP snapshot typically includes these demands already. 

Prerequisites

• A production line with associated parts must have been defined. 
• Demand records of some source type must exist to retrieve the demand successfully. 

System Effects

• Production line demands will be retrieved for the specified sources and date range, and stored in a snapshot table for the line. 
• Any existing snapshot demands for that date range and source type will be deleted and replaced by this set of demands.
• Full pegging information for the retrieved demands will be identified in the stored records. 
• You can enter demand records manually. Manually entered demands will be identified with a separate pegging type and no order information (Manual source type).
