Unstable items that are procured from a new supplier may need more control over inputs when a schedule is produced. Build schedules manually instead of automatically to have more control over inputs.

   To build a new schedule manually:

Attention: This feature is only available for planning.

5. In Schedule, select one of the following types: Planning - Multi-Org is available only for planning schedules. Shipping 6. In Type, select a schedule subtype. 7. Select a Bucket Pattern. 8. You can check "Include Future Releases", if you want to include releases beyond the schedule horizon. If you check "Include Future Releases", a Future bucket will be included at the end of the horizontal bucket schedule. The Future bucket will include all approved releases that are associated with a ship-to organization, supplier site, and item that have a due date which falls after the schedule horizon end date. These future releases will not be included in the printed or EDI schedules. 9. Select a horizon start date. The bucket pattern applicable for the supplier site will be used to calculate bucket dates and the schedule horizon date. Requirements that are dated earlier will be indicated as past due if they are from a blanket release, or ignored if they are from MRP planned orders or purchase requisitions. 10. If you are building a planning schedule or a shipping schedule that includes forecast, select at least one of the following plans:

• MRP Plan
• MPS Plan
• DRP Plan

Attention: You must select a MRP, MPS, or DRP plan name.

11. Select a Ship-To organization. If you are building a planning schedule and checked the Multi-Org option when you choose the Build button, the Ship-To Organizations window opens, and you can check "Include" for any of the displayed organizations. These are organizations for which MRP/MPS/DRP plans have been defined. 12. You can select the following building criteria:

• Supplier name
• Supplier Site code
• Category Set, which includes category sets from the PO item master organization.
• Category, which includes all categories for the selected category set and all items associated with the specified category.
• Item name
• Description of the item
• Scheduler's name.

Attention: If the enabling planning schedules, enable shipping schedules, and enable AutoSchedule are selected, you will not be able to build schedules manually. Uncheck these schedules to build a schedule manually.

Attention: To run a planning AutoSchedule, you must enter the scheduler's name. The scheduler's name must match the scheduler's name in the ASL Supplier Schedule option because the AutoSchedule name is tied to the ASL's scheduler's name in Purchasing.
