Principle

Select the master scheduling method to use. The following options are available:

  • Regeneration – Delete existing planned orders, and generate new planned orders based on all known requirements.

  • Net change – Generate planned orders that cover only requirements that were created or changed since the last master scheduling run. However, action dates and futures dates are updated for all requirements. This option is available only if you calculate a dynamic master plan.

  • Net change minimized – Generate planned orders that cover only requirements that were created or changed since the last master scheduling run. Action dates and futures dates are also updated only for new or changed requirements. This option is available only if you calculate a dynamic master plan.
