| # Customize Items in Budget (tpptc1255m000) Use this session to customize a range of material budget lines. This is only relevant for standard items of type Manufactured that have a to-order policy or for generic items that are configured in Product Configuration or in the Configurator templates. The project status and the budget status must be Free or Active. The budget line is updated with the customized item. If the budget line quantity is zero, it is updated to one. You can create one or more new PCS projects, or use an existing one. Note If you copied a project or a budget, you must run this session to customize the items on the budget lines of the new project. The copied items are no longer customized, as the link with a PCS project is project-specific. Project The From and To fields define a range of: projects for which the items must be customized Plan The From and To fields define a range of: project plans displayed if the project has an activity budget.

Maintain the project structure. Maintain the customized product structure by using customized bills of material and routing sheets. Carry out project estimating. Simulated ERP Enterprise allows you to simulate the rough capacity requirements planning and the detailed material and resource requirements planning (RRP) based on the network planning. The capacity requirements for a simulated project are visualized separately. ERP Enterprise generates planned RRP purchase orders, planned production orders, and PRP warehouse orders for customized items. However, those orders cannot be released. Moreover, the RRP does not allocate standard items to the project. Active Indicates the project's execution stage. You can release planned orders, so that the required purchase and production activities can be actually started and completed. Planning Method The planning method applied to the PCS project. Allowed values Planning Method Initial Project (PCS) Completion Date The planned initial date when the PCS project must be completed.
