Consider an MPS record. An MPS shipment amount is always set equal to the absolute value of the amount in the projected available row if that amount is negative.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an MPS (Master Production Schedule) record, the MPS shipment amount is not automatically set equal to the absolute value of a negative amount in the projected available row. The MPS shipment amount is determined based on the production plan to meet demand forecasts, inventory levels, and other factors, rather than directly correcting negative projected available balances. Negative amounts in the projected available row indicate potential shortages, which may require adjustments in the MPS, but the solution is not as simple as making the shipment amount equal to the absolute value of the negative amount.
