 Hi all, need your ideas on this.

Following is an actual scenario faced by a customer.

· There is a manufactured product (FG) where a forecast is entered in MS Level 1. There is a monthly forecast for this product.

customer order for this product is connected with a project (each CO has it’s own project) Project PNG is used to plan materials for each project.

· Question is how to consume the forecast by Customer Orders ?

· Because once the CO is connected with a project It’s no longer considered for actual demand in MS Level 1 where Project PNG is ‘*’. (Where the forecast is entered). It’s only considered if MS Level 1 record is created with the specific Project PNG.

Entering the Project PNG acts as a bridge between the MS level 1 part and the project. Hence, it will only reflect in the project when PNG is entered. 

 

In IFS Applications, project MS and MS features are executed in the same windows by separating them with the project PNG value (If the value for the PNG is *, master scheduling is used and a unique ID must be given for the PNG if project master scheduling should be used)
