Part by-Pass

Valid values are Y (yes) or N (no).  This value of this flag determines whether or not the system will update the Part By-Pass flag on the Part Master File automatically.  While in simulation mode, Requirements Planning Generation will skip over any part whose by-pass flag is Y.  Thus, you can modify a part's simulated schedule, set its by-pass flag to Y, and then rerun Requirements Planning Generation in simulation mode to see the effects of the changes.  

If you make any changes to the summarized schedule, you will need to change the detail records that support the summarized schedule.  If you entered Y in the Planned Order Override field on the Function Select screen, and if a planned order can be changed to meet the requirements in the period, the system will change the order automatically.  If a planned order cannot be changed, a detail window (Simulation Maintenance Supply Window) will appear forcing you to adjust existing orders.  You may also use this window to create additional simulated planned orders or modify any existing orders.  To display this screen, place your cursor on any of the time period fields and press F4.  

If you enter N, you must manually change the By-Pass flag on the Detail screen.
