Process suggested SOs in MPS

This parameter determines if the Master Production Schedule (MPS) should force the generation of reorder suggestions by project code to cover requirements originating from a suggested sales order (SOS).

For every transaction, the MPS compares the resulting stock level and the reorder lead time with actual requirements (orders). If the stock level on the date of the planning run (MPS processing (FUNMPS), Reference date field) plus the reorder lead time is too low, the MPS can generate a suggestion. The date for the generated suggestion will be the date of the planning run.

No: The MPS process will not generate suggestions if the planning run establishes that an existing order covers safety stock for the date of the run plus the reorder lead time.

Yes: The MPS process needs to generate a suggestion by project code to cover requirements originating from a suggested sales order (SOS).
