In this step, you specify the floats for determining the basic dates of the planned orders. The floats are allocated to the material via the release period key in the material master record.
- Opening period
The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the order creation date. This time is used by the MRP controller as a float for converting planned orders into purchase requisitions or into production orders.
- Float before production
The float before production represents the number of workdays that are planned as a float between the order start date (planned start date) and the production start date (target start date).
On the one hand, this float is intended to guarantee that delays in staging a material do not delay the production start. On the other hand, the production dates can be brought forward by means of the float to cope with capacity bottlenecks.
- Float after production
The float after production should provide a float for the production process to cope with any disruptions so that there is no danger that the planned finish date will be exceeded. You plan the float after production between order finish date (planned finish date) and scheduled end (target finish date).
- Release period
The release period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the production order release. The release period is only relevant for production order management.
Recommendation
The opening period should reflect the processing time the MRP controller needs to convert planned orders into purchase requisitions or production orders. The opening period should be at least as long as the interval between two MRP intervals, so that all planned orders can be taken into account during the conversion.
Actions
Specify the floats.
