This screen is used to define the Master Scheduling defaults.

PRINT OPTION

Required.  Must be either Y (yes) or N (no).  If Y, the entire Transaction Register is printed.  If N, only transactions in error are printed.

DAILY DEMAND FENCE

Required.  Must be numeric.  This field is used for all parts that are consumed except for standard MS parts.  It is used to determine the number of demand fence periods to be considered when analyzing forecasts.

DAILY FENCE PERIOD

Required.  Must be either D (Day), M (Month), W (Week), or P (Period).  The demand fence is a system-wide parameter used in combination with the daily demand fence as a horizon inside which forecasts for daily master scheduled parts are never considered (i.e., demand = actual orders only.).

STANDARD DEMAND FENCE

Required.  Must be numeric.  This field is used by standard master scheduled parts.  It is used to determine the number of demand fence periods to be considered when creating the Master Schedule.

STANDARD FENCE PERIOD

Required.  Must be either M (Month), W (Week), or P (Period).  The demand fence is a system-wide parameter used in combination with the standard demand fence as a horizon inside which forecasts for standard master scheduled parts are never considered (i.e., demand = actual orders only).

SCHEDULE OPTION

Required.  This is the default schedule option for the Key Facility programs.  Whatever value is in this field will default to the field in the Key Facility Request and Inquiry Programs for the reports.  Valid values are:

C - Current schedule

S - Simulated schedule

T - Tentative master schedule

PLANNING METHOD

Required.  This field is used as a default in programs that process both daily master scheduled and standard master scheduled parts. Valid values are:

D - Daily master scheduling

M - Master scheduling

START DATE OFFSET

Required.  Used to compute the default starting date for the screens throughout Master Scheduling.  For example, a 1 in this field indicates you want 1 day from the system date to default in the start date.  This is computed in business days.

ENDING DATE OFFSET

Required.  Must be numeric.  Used to compute the default end date similar to the start date offset.

PLANNING PERIOD DEFAULT

Required.  The value entered here will default the planning period option through Master Scheduling.
