Planning Pull Tolerance (Days)

During a run of the APS Planning activity, after push planning a demand, the system performs a final series of pull-planning iterations within a time window (bound by the demand's due date and the Projected date) to optimize the plan. This process divides the time window in half with each iteration until a feasible plan is found that is within the Planning Pull Tolerance number of days of the original Due date.

In the Planning Pull Tolerance field, enter the number of days to use as the APS Planning activity's limit of how close to the Due date to attempt to plan the demand.

• A smaller number may result in an earlier Projected date, but the system may need to perform many iterations to arrive at the date, which slows the APS Planning activity.
• A larger number will allow the APS Planning activity to complete faster, but may produce a Projected date that is not as early as your facility could accomplish in reality.

Default: 7 days
