Reduce MPS

Planned orders for product family items in an MPS plan are usually firm due to the following reasons: The orders are firmed during level loading The profile option MSC: MPS Auto-Firm Planned Orders is set to Yes Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning allows you to eliminate the firmed planned orders within a defined time fence from subsequent batch replans. When you set the Reduce MPS option, firm planned orders that fall within the Reduce MPS time fence are automatically dropped at the time of the next plan run. This helps you in avoiding overstatement of material and resource requirements. Set the Reduce MPS option to one of the following: None - The order quantities of the MPS item supply are not reduced. Past Due - When the supply due date is past due, the order quantities on the MPS supply entries are reduced to zero Demand Time Fence - When the supply is within the demand time fence, the order quantities on the MPS supply entries are reduced to zero Planning Time Fence - When the supply is within the planning time fence, the order quantities on the MPS supply entries are reduced to zero It is recommended that you use the Past Due option for reducing MPS and enable Demand Time Fence for items that are exploded and derived in planning.
