OPTION (3) Modifications to Baseline - None                                   GRAPHIC EXAMPLE

    This memorandum discusses the concept of prioritization of MRP Parts, to allow Buyers / Planners to focus on those items which are denoted as the most immediate to react to.
    A User-Maintained Table allows each customer to consider different "cutoff" time fences, and to maintain values to indicate what is most urgent to react to. The user can also create their own "Alert Flags". Reports are provided to detail which MRP items are at variance to the individual Alert Flag Cutoff Value, and the user-maintained Cutoff Dollar Value, per Alert Flag.
    In the example below, Time Fence ONE (priority) covers the first 3 MRP Weekly buckets, plus Past Due. Time Fence TWO also includes the next 10 MRP Weekly buckets, for a total of 13 periods.

This is a list of MRP "Alert" conditions, as provided:
AA = Negative Dollars prior to First Scheduled Receipt
BA = De-Expedite Dollars for Fence ONE
BB = De-Expedite Dollars for Fence TWO
CA = Expedite Dollars for Fence ONE
CB = Expedite Dollars for Fence TWO
DA = Critical Planned Dollars (START DATE IS PAST DUE)
EA = De-Expedite Dollars for Past Due
FA = Negative Dollars before First Expedite
GA = Fence ONE Dollars Demand
GB = Fence TWO Dollars Demand
HA = Fence ONE Excess Scheduled Receipts Dollars above Demand
HB = Fence TWO Excess Scheduled Receipts Dollars above Demand
