Defining Control File Settings<br />

Settings in the Repetitive Control File (18.24) differ from those in<br />

Advanced Repetitive.<br />

Next Picklist and P/L Prefix. Same as the Advanced Repetitive<br />

Control File (18.22.24).<br />

Consume Forward and Consume Back. Determines how <strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong><br />

handles excess <strong>com</strong>pletions on a given day. These quantities may be<br />

for schedules other than today’s.<br />

When Consume Back or Consume Forward is nonzero, <strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong><br />

looks backward, then forward the specified number of calendar days<br />

for orders with open quantities, and uses the excess to increment the<br />

quantity <strong>com</strong>pleted. This process stops when the excess is consumed<br />

or when all days have been searched. If Start of Week is specified,<br />

<strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong> stops looking backward when that day is reached.<br />

When Consume Back and Consume Forward are 0, the excess is<br />

placed in inventory and not counted against a schedule.<br />

Start of Week. This field determines how far back to consume excess<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletions and count open orders as supply. Values are None,<br />

Sunday–Saturday, or today.<br />

Regardless of the value of Consume Back, <strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong> goes back only<br />

as far as the Start of Week. Use this field when you want to bucket<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletions by week. Setting Start of Week to Monday and Consume<br />

Back to 7 ensures that all <strong>com</strong>pletions count against scheduled orders<br />

for the week.<br />
