This master scheduling scenario involves the following conditions:

• The multisite functionality is activated. Therefore, the site dimension is mandatory and must be entered on the demand transaction.

• The warehouse dimension is not set to mandatory. The warehouse may be known, but it is not used in the master scheduling calculation.

• The site dimension is set for coverage planning. Other dimensions may be set for coverage planning also. However, they are not affected by the multisite functionality.

• The warehouse dimension is not set for coverage planning. Therefore, supply and demand are aggregated by site (and perhaps other coverage-planned dimensions also).

The following graphic illustrates how the master scheduling proceeds. The parameters that are referred to in the graphic, and their locations, are as follows:

• Item coverage is defined for the item. Click Inventory management> Item details. Select the item and then click Setup> Item coverage.

• Refill relations are defined for the warehouse. Click Inventory management> Setup> Inventory breakdown> Warehouses. On the Master planningtab, see the Main warehousefield group.

• BOM is set to Stop explosion. Click Inventory management> Item details, and then select the BOM. Click the Referencestab and see the Stop explosionfield.
