Refreshing the APS Plan to Reflect Changes

This topic describes the types of information that update the APS plan and whether the information can update the plan incrementally or requires APS Planning to be rerun to update the plan.

Incremental Changes

The system inserts some transactions, such as customer orders, into the APS plan incrementally when you create them or save changes to them. For these non-disruptive incremental transactions, the system dynamically keeps the plan up to date.

See About Incremental Planning and ATP/CTP for a list of these transactions.

Planning Parameters Require Replanning

When you create, delete, or make changes to some other transactions, or change the Planning Parameters, the system does not actually apply these changes to the plan until you rerun APS Planning. This delay allows you to choose when to disrupt the existing plan with the new information.

See Running APS Planning for steps.

Transactions Requiring Replanning

When you create, delete, or change these types of transactions, you must run APS Planning to reflect the changes in the plan.

Safety stock orders
Purchase orders, PO requisitions, transfer orders, and jobs (only changes to existing transactions require replanning)
Forecast and MPS orders that are not incrementally planned with the Get ATP/CTP process
Changes to resources, resource groups, effectivities, holidays, shifts, items, and routings/bills of material
