IMPORTANT |
It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site. |
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to familiarize you with the data that must be in place before you can do the the exercises below.

Project Product
Project Product/Items
Note: There are two fields in the Items tab that are important for the material acquisition. The first is the MPL Part field, which can be set to Demand or No Demand. If set to No Demand, the item will not be calculated as a project requirement nor shown in a shop order for its assembly. The second is the Std Planned Item check box, which affects how the requirement will be created. If a part is standard planned, its requirements will be created through MRP (Material Requirement Planning) or Order Point Calculation. MRP is the standard planning feature used in IFS/Manufacturing, while Order Point Calculation is a feature in IFS/Inventory. If an item is project-specific, its requirement will be created from IFS/Project Delivery through the activity that is connected to it.
