Action Messages Subtask
Use this subtask to view and implement MPS action messages created by the Update Master Production Schedules process.
The application selects MPS action messages for the parts, projects, MPS Plan, and warehouse criteria you entered on the header of the main screen. Planned order messages do not display in this subtask; they display separately on the Planned Orders subtask.
Note that if the MRP process was used to plan MPS parts, the action messages generated from that process do not display in this subtask, even if the part is an MPS planned part.
If you are viewing action messages for an MPS Plan other than P (Production), you cannot implement modifications.
You can modify which rows display by selecting or clearing the Display All Periods and Display All Product Family Parts check boxes.
Note that current quantities and dates referenced on the table window represent the supply order information when MPS or MRP was last run for this part. They do not reflect any subsequent modifications made to the order.
