2 Before attending this course, students must have: General knowledge of Microsoft Windows Completed the Introduction to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 course The ability to use Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for basic processing In addition, it is recommended, but not required, that students have: A basic knowledge of forecasting, planning, production control, purchasing, and inventory concepts. Some practical experience in how to use the Master planning module. Attended the Intercompany Setup and Order Processing in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 course. Course Outline Module 1: Master Planning Overview This module provides a high level summary of the main elements of master planning. It contains conceptual information on the differences between master scheduling and forecast scheduling and the regenerative and net change master scheduling processes. It also includes a list of reports that are useful and how the module could be integrated with other modules in an example workflow. Master Planning Overview Master Scheduling, Forecast Scheduling, and Intercompany Master Scheduling Master Planning on Multiple Sites Example of a Master Planning Business Process Flow Describe the main concepts of master planning in Microsoft Dynamics AX Differentiate between forecast, master, and intercompany scheduling. Differentiate between regenerative and net change master planning and how to start the process. Differentiate between static and dynamic plans. Describe master planning across multiple production sites Explain the master planning role as part of an integrated business process workflow in a hypothetical company. Module 2: Planning Considerations and Setup This module outlines some main considerations for setting up and using the Master planning module. This includes prerequisite setups in master planning and other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX Conceptual ideas are reviewed such as the one and two plan strategies, operations and job scheduling considerations, and master scheduling execution principles. Parameters in two important forms in the Master planning module are covered in detail: the Master plan form and the Master planning parameters form. Finally, the module provides an overview of how to handle the main master scheduling results in the Planned order form. TANDUC IT School JSC Pasteur St., Dist.1, HCMC Tel: Fax: Page 2

3 Overview of Plan Input and Output Preliminary Considerations Understanding the Overall Setup Process in Master Planning Master Planning Parameters Form Master Plans Form Operations and Job Scheduling Static and Dynamic Master Plans Master Scheduling Principles Master Scheduling Results List considerations that influence how master planning is set up. Describe how master planning integrates with other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and outline the setup process. Discuss the setup of the master planning parameters. Discuss the settings in the Master plans form that influence how master scheduling calculates requirements. Review the difference between operations scheduling and job scheduling. Describe the main uses of one and two master plan strategies and define the static and dynamic master plans. Describe the three principles that can be applied when you run master scheduling. Discuss the results of master scheduling. Module 3: Coverage Groups This module discusses coverage planning generally and coverage groups specifically. It includes the specific principles and parameters that guide how master planning handles each item or group of items in inventory when a master schedule is run. It also contains a detailed overview of how groups of items are handled through the definition of parameters in the coverage groups form in the Master planning module. It also includes a detailed review of coverage code principles, negative and positive days, firming and planned order explosion fields, action messages, futures messages. Coverage Groups and Parameters Creating Coverage Groups Coverage Periods Positive and Negative Time Fences Planned Orders Safety margins Action and Futures message configuration Lab : Create a New Coverage Group and Released Product Explain the main elements of coverage planning in Microsoft Dynamics AX TANDUC IT School JSC Pasteur St., Dist.1, HCMC Tel: Fax: Page 3

4 Name each coverage code principle and explain how it guides master scheduling in handling groups of items in inventory. Define the use of positive and negative days. Define the three safety margins: the receipt margin, the issue margin and the reorder margin and explain how they influence master scheduling. Define how action messages and futures messages are used. Module 4: Coverage Settings This module explains the possibilities in setting up detailed coverage information on single items that do not fit simple group settings. It provides an overview of how to define settings in the Items coverage form, the Item details form and the Item coverage setup form. It also includes a brief review of the minimum/maximum key, warehouse and safety stock as these functions apply to coverage settings. Introduction to Detailed Coverage Settings Coverage Settings Precedence Detailed Coverage Overview Item Coverage Minimum/Maximum Keys Item Coverage Setup Warehouses Form Safety Stock Journal Lab : Set up Coverage Settings for Product Explain coverage setting order of precedence in Microsoft Dynamics AX Explain why you would use detailed coverage. Explain and specify detailed coverage settings on individual items by using the Item coverage form. Describe how to use minimum and maximum keys. Describe how to copy item coverage records with settings to one or more items without settings. Define how warehouses are used in coverage planning when item coverage records are specified for the warehouse dimension. Review how to use the safety stock journal and how the safety stock level is calculated. Module 5: Forecast Plans This module provides an overview of the main forms involved in defining a forecast plan including forecast models, forecast plans, forecast items and creating a sales forecast in the sales forecast form. It also includes a discussion of item allocation keys, period allocation categories and reduction keys that let you automatically create item configurations. Lab : Create a Sales Forecast by using Period and Item Allocation Keys Lab : End to End Example State the interdependencies between master planning and forecast planning.
