During
week 1, the following transactions occurred for component C:

  • The open order for 40 units due to be
    received at the start of week 1 was received on Monday of week 1 with a
    quantity of 35 (5 units of component C were scrapped on this order).
  • An inventory cycle count during week
    1 revealed that ten units of component C were missing.
    Thus, an inventory adjustment of -10 was
    processed.
  • Five units of component C were
    actually disbursed (instead of the 15 units planned for disbursement to
    produce end products X and Y).
    (The
    MPS quantity of 10 in week 1 for product X was canceled as a result of a customer
    order cancellation.)
  • The MPS quantities for week 7 include
    20 units for product X and 10 units for product Y.
  • Because of a change in customer order
    requirements, marketing has requested that the MPS quantity of 5 units for
    product X scheduled in week 4 be moved to week 3.
  • An order for 40 units was released.
