Hi Selva,
Find answers for your questions...
Q1: Currently I am using the MRP type P1. So as per your above diagram, the new planned order is created outside the planning time fence date & hence the firming indicator is NOT set automatically. Am i right?
Yes
Q2: Suppose, If i use the MRP type "P2", the new planned order will be created inside the planning time fence (ie, the planned order end date will be 19.06.2014) & hence the planned order is inside the planning time fence, the firming indicator will be automatically set. Am i right?
If you use MRP type P2 You will not get any planned order even outside the planning time fence. check the top portion of my screen shot. Only existing planned orders (if any) within the planning time fence are get firmed..
Thanks
Kumar
