First iteration

Select the master scheduling method to use for the first iteration. The options are as follows:

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

  • Net change minimized – Generates planned orders, together with action and futures dates, to cover only new or changed requirements that have occurred since the last master scheduling run. This option is available only if you calculate a dynamic master plan.

Subsequent iterations

  • Regeneration – Deletes existing planned orders and generates new planned orders based on all known requirements.

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