In this step, you set an indicator that instructs the system to only firm those schedule lines that have already been sent to the vendor.

Schedule lines can be firmed in the same way as planned orders or purchase requisitions within the framework of the MPS fixing logic within the planning time fence. The planning time fence represents a number of days that always extends from today's date into the future. Thus, the end date of the planning time fence moves a day further into the future every day.

According to the fixing logic, existing schedule lines are firmed as soon as they move into the planning time fence.

Schedule lines that lie outside the planning time fence at the moment and whose quantity has been changed in the planning run due to a change in requirements are also firmed (for the changed quantity) as soon as they move into the planning time fence.

The schedule lines are transmitted to the vendors via the messages in purchasing indicating the quantity that is recorded in the stock/requirements list at the time of transmission.

If you only want to firm the schedule lines that have been checked and transmitted to the vendor in the planning time fence, there is an indicator Only firm transmitted schedule lines . This determines that only those schedule line quantities that have been passed on to the vendor by mail are firmed.

The following situation arises for changed shedule lines quantities that, simply due to the passing of time, have moved into the planning time fence : if the MRP controller/purchaser does not confirm the procurement plan by sending the changed quantities per message transmission to the vendor, then the system firms the quantity in the planning time fence that went to the vendor in the last message transmission. This ensures that no unchecked quantities are firmed. Moreover, the vendor can also be sure that all schedule lines are checked before they come to him.
