FMP (Forward material plan)

The FMP ​(Forward material plan) table displays data, based on the calculated Schedule plan, filters, and additional functionalities used in the Header section of the form.

Below, see a use case for an FMP review.

Case summary The responsible person wants to create an FPM for the month of October. They will do this in the following way:  Open Monthly plan Open Scheduling Open FMP table

1. Open Monthly plan

In the Plans section of the Manufacturing module, the responsible person opens the HP10-Monthly plan-Orders form.

A window opens, where we choose to create a new record.

In the header, the responsible person enters the necessary information: the plan's name, dates, and status; and then the person responsible clicks on Create Plan Lines from Order.

HINT For more information about filters and additional functionalities that affect the data displayed in the table read the chapter Header.

The Select Orders form opens, where the person responsible refreshes the data and selects the orders to transfer to the monthly plan using filters.

In our case, we select the orders from number 23-0100-000012 to number 23-0100-000014, and transfer them to the monthly plan.

The transferred orders are now located in the monthly plan.

2. Open Scheduling

You can open the scheduling form in two ways:

1. From the second to last button in the middle of the daily plan document.

2. By launching the scheduling form from the wizard on the document.

3. Open FMP table

When we open the scheduling form, it opens in the FMP table form, which means forward material plan.

The person responsible sees 3 sections on the board: General with the data about the items; then there is the FMP Data, where some fields are additionally labeled with the plus sign (+) as inflow, and the minus sign (-) as outflow; and Additional Information.

After that, the person responsible defines Resources and Recalculation Parameters, as you can read in the respective chapters.
