Evaluate MS Result using Detailed Graph
Explanation
Use this window to generate a graph that shows Master Scheduling
data for a selected Level 0 or Level 1 part belonging to a specified site. The types of
data shown are forecast, supply, demand, projected balance and projected time phased safety stock. You can also generate
overlay graphs that show cumulative unconsumed supply or cumulative unconsumed forecasts.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that a Level 0 or Level 1 part exists. A
period template also must exist.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system generates a graph
of Master Scheduling data for a user-specified Level 0 or Level 1 part. The graph includes
forecast, supply, demand, and projected balance data and projected time phased safety stock. The system also generates overlay
graphs showing cumulative unconsumed supply or cumulative unconsumed forecasts. The graph
appears at the bottom of the Detailed MS
Graphic window.

Procedure
- Open the
Detailed MS Graphic window.
- To generate graphical data for a Level 0 part instead of the default Level 1, click
Zero in the Level area.
- Populate the Detailed MS Graphic
window. Alternatively, search for a part in the Part No field, along
with relevant site. If using a project master scheduled part, search for the
part with the relevant PNG.
- Right-click and then click Show Graph. The
MS Graph Parameters
dialog box is opened. If you receive an error message after clicking OK in this dialog box, go to step 5 below.
- Make the following choices the
MS Graph Parameters
dialog box:
- In the Period area, check the default period
range displayed in the Period Begin Date and Period End Date
fields. To change this period
range, type the number of the period that you want to use as the period begin number in
the Begin No field. Then type the number of the period that you want to use as the
period end number in the End No field.
- In the Plot Forecast area, click Unconsumed to make the graph include non-cumulative unconsumed forecast
data. Alternatively, click Full to make it include the entire set of non-cumulative forecast data (consumed as well as unconsumed).
- In the Plot line for Cumulative area, click Unconsumed Forecast to make the graph include cumulative unconsumed forecast data.
Alternatively, click Unconsumed Supply to make it include
cumulative unconsumed supply data.
- Click OK. The system now generates a detailed MS
graph for your specified period range and type of data.
- If you receive an error message indicating that the period
template date does not match the part's last run date, right-click and then
click Recalculate Period Template. Click OK to recalculate the template with the
correct begin date. Then right-click and click Show Graph again. When the
MS
Graph Parameters dialog box appears, follow steps 4 and 5 above.
