Prerequisite Setup

Forecasts and sales orders were entered for nine time periods. Verify that the MRP Time Periods processing option in the MPS Regeneration program (R3482) is set to 9 periods and the Periods in MRP Window field in the Kanban Size Calculation Parameter Definition program (P3018) is set to 9.

The MRP Regeneration program ran for five days, three weeks, and one month. The resulting time series is:
