File Schedule Generation/Report - Purpose

The File Schedule Generation/Report program (RS650E) generates file schedules that indicate the time frame and quantities in which items will be purchased.  File schedules are only processed in summary format.  The format is defined on Reference File category G64, File Schedule Periods.  Periods may be defined as days or weeks, and the number of periods to be processed may range from 1 to 32.  On this same Reference File category, natures may be defined that indicate whether each period is firm or forecast.  The natures specified will only be used if Repetitive Supply does not manage the firm horizon (as specified on Reference File category G52, Firm Horizon).  If Repetitive Supply does manage the firm horizon, the firm periods will be calculated (based on the part's total fixed lead time) and the firm date will be updated on the Part Master file (DE100M).

Variances are always processed for file schedules.  Depending on Reference File category G65, RS Default Values, the period quantities will either be processed in net or gross.  The net release method will process quantities net of what has already been received.  Each release quantity is accumulated into a time period based on the dock date.

The RS Schedule Transmission Transaction file (RS205AL3), which selects only file schedules, is processed.  For every vendor/planner, purchase order lines and effective endorsements are retrieved; the purchase order releases are then processed.  Within a specific schedule (i.e., company, warehouse, planner and vendor combination), breaks will occur whenever the purchase order, line, or delivery location (on the endorsement) changes. 

Several types of transactions are performed:

Firm - File schedule (RS650AP is formatted)
Draft - Paper draft schedule is printed
Reemission - File reemission (RS630M is used to regenerate the last firm schedule and RS650AP is formatted.)
