Selective Update
Selective Materials Plan
Selective Materials Plan (23.3) plans only for items and sites you select. It can be run in net change mode by setting the Required Items Only field to Yes, or in regenerative mode by setting Required Items Only to No.
You can use Selective Materials Plan to plan master schedule items separately from other items. You can also plan small groups of items by using buyer/planner, product line, group, type, supplier, or any combination as selection criteria.
Guidelines:
• Limit program use to master schedulers only.
• This program plans down one level only.
• You can use Selective Materials Plan (23.3) to plan master schedule items separately from other items. You can also plan small groups of items by using buyer/planner, product line, group, type, supplier, or any combination as selection criteria.
In the selection fields, enter data for the criteria relevant to your needs; bypass fields by leaving them blank.
