Reviewing the header information

Unlike the Combined Plan tab, the Shipment Schedule and Planning Schedule tabs show specific header information of the imported single plans.

To review the header information of the Shipment Schedule tab:

  1. Select Release Management > View Plans.
  2. Click the Drill down button of an active plan.
  3. On the Shipment Schedule tab, review the header information:
    Version
    The version number of the single plan. Whenever an incoming release order for a contract line is processed, the version number of the single plan is incremented by one.
    Processing Date
    The date of the last processing of the shipment schedule.
    Message Subtype
    The message subtype of the customer release order. These are the options for the message subtype:
    • Default: This is the default configuration that is used to integrate the requirements.
    • RAN: This configuration is used to integrate the requirements of RAN messages from a customer.
    • GPI: This message subtype is used for the message type Shipment Schedule in the Renault process GPI. GPI is an integrated production control system that is used by Renault assembly plants. In the GPI process, suppliers receive release orders with a unique transport ID on requirement line level and a consumption point on plan level. Shipments are grouped by transport ID.
    • L3P: This message subtype is used for the message type Shipment Schedule in the Renault process L3P. In the L3P process, suppliers receive release orders with a transport ID, a consumption point, and a distribution zone on requirement line level. Shipments are structured by distribution zone, transport ID, and consumption point. Each shipper has a unique transport ID. Consequently, shipments are grouped by transport ID, if more than one shipment is contained in a shipper.
    • CINDI: This message subtype is used for the message type Shipment Schedule in the Renault process CINDI. The CINDI process works with GPI or L3P. In this process, suppliers receive a shipment schedule with RAN or Kanban number. The expected arrival date is included in the message in addition to the fields that are known from GPI and L3P. The RAN or Kanban number is unique for release orders on requirement line level. The transport ID is unique per shipper. Multiple shipments per shipper/transport ID are possible. Multiple RAN or Kanban numbers per shipment and per item in a shipment are possible. The message subtype CINDI is used for the LISA process as well.
    • Pick-up Sheet: This configuration is used to integrate the requirements of Pick-up Sheet messages from a customer.
    • Manifest: This configuration is used to integrate the requirements of Manifest messages from a customer.
    • Kanban: This configuration is used to integrate the requirements of Kanban messages from a customer.
    • Sequenced: This message subtype is selected for the message type Shipment Schedule. The message subtype is used to process shipment schedules that require sequential information, for example, production-synchronous release orders. If you use the message subtype Sequenced, the Calculation Base in the CUM adjustment rules configuration must be Referenced. The Reference Number 1 is Key check box must be selected.
    • Sequenced with Shipping Window: This message subtype is selected for the message type Shipment Schedule. If Release Management receives a ShipmentSchedule BOD, the Message Processing Rules page is checked for a sequenced call-off with message subtype Sequenced with Shipping Window that is also expected from the customer. In this case, the ShipmentSchedule BOD is merged with the current single plan of type Shipment Schedule. The new single plan contains the sequenced requirements. This feature is especially used by trading partner A0061 Ford North America.
    • Loading Sequence: This message subtype is selected for the message type Shipment Schedule and is used for Honda when lot sequence information is sent. In this case, the reference field consists of the Schedule Order Number and the Lot Sequence to load the truck as requested by Honda.
