Roy The answer is: 1. INFOR Finite Capacity Planning and Scheduling is available through Release 6. You will need to get an exception from INFOR through your affiliate to purchase but it is available. 2. INFOR Advanced Planning and Scheduling for XA R6, R7, R7.7 and R7.8. It's been renamed to Visual Planner for iSeries (VPi) at R9. 3. INFOR Thruput for XA R6, R7, R7.7, R7.8 and R9. INFOR's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Thruput is a constraint based planning system based on the work of E Goldratt (The Goal, the Race), which is the evolutionary replacement for finite capacity planning. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (AVP) is a subset of Thruput functions which is finite capacity plus. The plus is that it also is Master Scheduling including forecast consumption. Thruput provides Capability To Promise (CTP) integration with XA such that an order can be entered and planned based on the constraints of the system in real time. To put it simply, as the order is entered all the planning is completed and the promise date is based upon actual load and constraints. It is not a 'standard lead time" quote.
