Hi Raja,

Below are the simple answers to your questions:

1. What is Production Scheduling Profile ?

   If we want to auto release the production order when its created, if we want to schedule order automatically on release then, we use this profile. Assignment of order types also done here. Please do refer to the link given by other forum members for further details.This profile needs to be assigned to material master record of that material.

2. What is float before production & float after production ?

    Float before production is the workdays taken by the system to calculate the basic start date & basic finish date.

3. What is re-order point planning ?

    It is a type of consumption based planning where the procurement proposals will be triggered automatically by the system when the stock of material falls below the reorder point level. There are two types in this : Manual & automatic

Manual : We have to enter manually the reorder point level.

Automatic : System will automatically calculate the reorder point level.

MRP types are different for both manual & automatic re-order point planning methods.

4. What is replenishment lead time ?

   In case of in-house production, it is combination of in-house production time, GR processing time.

  In case of external procurement, it is combination of planned delivery time & GR processing time.

5. What is order type ?

    It is used to differentiate the different processes like MTS, MTO, Rework, Disassembly etc.

6. What is production type ?

    It is the different production process like discrete, Repetitive, Process Industry, KANBAN etc.

Revert back for more clarification.
