BOD Separation Rules

On the BOD Separation Rules page, you can create, edit, copy, and delete BOD separation rules.

A BOD separation rule defines how customer requirements of the combined plan are separated into PlanningSchedule and ShipmentSchedule BODs. These BODs are published to ION and sent to the ERP system. A combined plan can contain, for example, firmed or planned requirements, or requirements that have a specified time horizon. The BOD separation rule controls which of these requirements are published in ShipmentSchedule or PlanningSchedule BODs.

The BOD separation is controlled in different ways:

  • Requirements from the combined plan are separated and published according to their schedule status, firmed or planned.
  • Requirements are separated and published according to the specified shipment frequency.
  • Requirements are separated and assigned according to the selected time horizon option:
    • Requirements are transferred if the requirement date is within a time horizon from today up to the specified number of days.
    • Requirements are transferred if the requirement date is after a time horizon from today up to the specified number of days.
  • Type-specific BOD separation:
    • Referenced requirements from the combined plan are transferred to the defined BOD type.
    • Requirements of the combined plan that have a specific message type or message subtype are transferred to the defined BOD type.
  • Requirements of the combined plan that are not used in ShipmentSchedule BODs are transferred to PlanningSchedule BODs.
