MISys Manufacturing – Supply Schedule, Items View.
The Items view of the Supply Schedule can be very useful and provides a representation of the Purchase Order Supply Schedule listed by item. This view groups the same items together from all open Purchase Orders. To see this view, click Purchasing/Supply Schedule to open the Supply Schedule. Once in the Supply Schedule, select Items from the Gantt View dropdown in the top right corner of the screen. All Open Purchase Order items will appear, listed as Gantt bars within the current time horizon.
The Purchase Orders view above shows Purchase Orders arranged on a timeline, sorted vertically by Purchase Order line number within a group of each item. Each element on the chart represents the Purchase Order date and current Due Date of the respective detail line on the Purchase Order.
Summary information about a Purchase Order line can be obtained by hovering over a Gantt bar (PO P100, Item I03 in the image above). To open a Purchase Order, simply click on a Gantt bar.
An item ordered on multiple lines on the same PO will be highlighted with a red-striped fill indicating a timeline overlap of that item on the PO. This will be the case for blanket ordered items having multiple PO detail lines with different due dates.
Additionally, the Items View is also useful for expediting. The current due date for a Purchase Order detail can be changed by moving the mouse over the right-hand side of any PO detail (the cursor changes to a horizontal double arrow) and simply dragging the end of the PO detail right or left on the Gantt chart.
