Modifying Production Order Quantities
Even though MRP generates planned orders, balancing supply and demand, in some cases, you may need to manually adjust the production order quantity. You can use MSW to do this. You can modify quantities directly in the Schedule Grid in any horizon period.
When you make a quantity change against a production order, the quantity change applies to the entire order, not just a specific operation. For example, if you change the quantity on work center A for operation 10, MSW applies the quantity change to the order and, subsequently, all operations related to the production order in question.
You cannot modify the value in Schedule Grid:
• If the Schedule Grid cell value represents more than a single production order
• If the order is closed
1 Select an item on the Schedule Grid.
2 Modify the value in the quantity column.
The system validates the quantity change can be made.
MSW updates all calculations. Color indicators may change.
Note: You can also change the quantity using Production Order Maintenance within MSW.
