Definition

Date used in Material Requirements Planning and Long-Term Planning to manually extend the planning time fence.

You can select any date for the manual firming date. If a planning time fence has been created for a material then the following applies:
If the manual firming date lies before the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is still valid.
If the manual firming date lies after the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is extended until this date.

All order proposals with availability dates that lie before the end of the planning time fence of the manually extended planning fence are firmed for the planning run, if the materials have an MRP type which contains firming type or firming type 1 or 2

The system does not automatically firm order proposals for materials that have an MRP type with firming type 3 or 4, even if their availability dates lie before the end of the planning time fence or manually extended planning time fence.

Order proposals for materials with an MRP type without a firming type are treated as materials with firming type 1.

Dependencies

All planned orders, purchase requisitions and delivery schedules in MRP that have not been firmed are affected.

In long-term planning, only planned orders that have not been firmed are affected.

If you copy firm planned orders from long-term planning to operative planning, the system proposes the manual firming date as the end of the period for copying.
