|MRPSeek Back Max Days|This setting determines how many days can MRP search backwards from the due date, when searching for free capacity.|
|MRPSeek Forward Max Days|This setting determines how many days can MRP search forward from the due date, when searching for free capacity.|
|MRP Production Order Safe Completion Factor|If the production order is allocated using the Forward From Preferred Date strategy, this setting determines the percentage of time the Preferred Date is earlier than the Latest Date. If the setting is 0.2 (20%), and an operation takes 10 days, the Latest Date is 07.30., then the system subtracts 10 days and an extra 20 percent (2 days) from the Latest date, so the Preferred Date becomes 07.18.|
|Minimal delay for begin|This setting is used to determine the time, when the allocation of resources can be started on the day when the allocation is started. For example, if the Earliest allocation from hours is 1 hour, and the MRP run or allocation is started at 14:00, the allocations are booked after 15:00.|

|MRP Fragmentation Weight|This setting is used in allocation strategies. Along with the next two settings (MRP Due Date Weight, MRP Total Time Weight), you can set which factors are more important for you, when the allocation strategy assigns operations to resources. When the allocation is started, the system runs multiple simulations, and weighs each simulation with these factors, choosing the best possible outcome. Fragmentation determines how many parts an operation's allocations can be divided into (and how much setup and teardown time it needs). If it is undesirable for you to divide an operation into many parts, increase this value.|
|MRP Due Date Weight|This determines the importance of the calculated dates being near the due dates.|
|MRP Total Time Weight|This determines the importance of the operation taking the least possible time (including setup and teardown times). |
|MRP Allocation Teardown Gap|You can set (in hours), after how many non-working hours an operation must be stopped. For example, if an operation was started on Friday, and will be finished on Monday, is stopping the operation necessary during the weekend.|
|MRP Max Delay For Pref. WC(s)|You can set (in seconds), after how much delay MRP is looking for a new work center instead of the preferred work center. If this value is set to 1800 seconds, after 30 minutes of delay (if the preferred work center has another operation allocated, and the current operation can only be allocated after more than 30 minutes), the system will book another work center instead of the preferred work center.|
|Run MRP in Separate Thread|If this checkbox is checked, MRP will run in a separate thread. Use this if you get RPC_SYS_CALL_FAILED errors during MRP run.|
|Use multi-dimension allocation|By using this setting, you can use multi-dimension allocations in MRP, which means you can use employees and tools.|
|Allow rescheduling Production Orders when shift day capacity is shrunk|If enabled, production orders can be rescheduled when the shift day capacity is shrunk, otherwise the shift day capacity can only be shrunken if the capacity change does not affect released production orders. //Please note: If there is a production order, that cannot be rescheduled, it is not possible to shrink the shift day capacity regardless of this setting.//|

|Always Consider Planned Production Orders|If this setting is enabled, ’Planned’ production orders are always considered for items that have Manual Planning set in the Item Master Data, even when production orders are not added as a data source for MRP.\\ //Please note that the Always Consider Planned Production Orders global MRP setting has higher priority than the settings in the MRP Scenario.// \\ When an MRP scenario wants to ignore production orders, this setting should be disabled.|
|Allocation window def.length|This setting defines the horizon of an MRP-run. The time scale until receipts and requirements are considered. |
|Use Produmex Manufacturing MRP|If enabled, the //‘Use Produmex Manufacturing MRP’// checkbox is checked by default on the Document Data Source window of the MRP wizard, when a new MRP scenario is created.|

====== 2. Produmex PDC  ======
With the Configuration of Produmex PDC you can set up the parameters of the PDC client. You have to do it on all clients where the software will be used.

===== 2.1. General tab =====

At the Server URL you have to set the server name or IP address and the port that is set at the service broker configuration. If you press F11 or click '...' (and the Server Discovery Enable setting is turned on), then the client will look for the running service broker service on the local network. If it finds it, it will set it automatically. If there are more servers running, then you will get a list to choose from.

You can set the Default User if the terminal is always used by the same person. You have to enter here the employee ID. If this is filled, there is no login screen in Produmex PDC and the bookings will be created with this employee. 

{{ :implementation:manufacturing:confguide:pdc_general.png | General tab}}

===== 2.2. Appearance tab =====
On the 'Appearance' tab you can set up the display settings for the client. With the Font Size you can define the size of the fonts that are displayed. If you have a small resolution device (ie. 800x600 or less), use small, otherwise use normal setting. 

If you turn on Desktop Mode, the window will work similar to a normal desktop application (it will remember window settings, and you can move it by dragging the title bar). 

With the Customization Assist setting you can turn on the customization feature in the mobile application.

After logging in, the system will automatically proceed with the Simple Job module and will not show the Main menu.

=====3.2. PDC Extended Configuration=====
On this user table further configurations can be specified for the PDC terminal. 
The configurations will be linked to the specified employee and/or work center. It is possible to define multiple configuration lines for an employee/work center. This way different configurations can be set for each employee - work center combination. 

**//Code & Name//** \\
