Net Position

The Net Position shows a summary view of the net supply and demand position as compared to minimum inventory quantities. The Net Position is generated by profile and accumulates the data for the entire period of the profile. For example, if the report is from October to December, the data is accumulated for the three months and displays one record for the entire period.

1. In MRP>Projections, select Net Position
2. Select the required profile
3. Select OK
4. The Protein MRP Net Position will be displayed with any record that is below the minimum quantity displayed in red. The screen is divided into two sections:
1. Products - displays cumulative data for all cost centers to display the global position for each product.
2. Cost Centers - displays the data for the selected product by cost center to view the net position by cost center.

Products

The Products grid displays the global position for all cost centers by product.

1. Product No displays the product for the net position calculations.

2. Product Name defaults based on the Product No and describes the product.

3. Product Type indicates the type of product.

4. Available Inventory is the beginning inventory for the product for the profile period.

5. Purchase Orders represent the total of the purchase orders becoming available during the period.

6. Product Requirement indicates the total demand for the period.

7. Net Position is calculated as follows:

Net Position = Available Inventory + Purchase Orders -Product Requirement

8. Minimum Quantity represents the minimum required quantities as defined in General>Products or FMIM>Ingredient Versions. Note: Minimum quantity is incorrect in screen shot and needs to be replaced when bug is fixed.
9. Variance to Minimum calculates as follows. Values that fall below the minimum quantity will be displayed in red.

Variance to Minimum = Net Position - Minimum Quantity
