Adding Fixed Qty % Constraints

  1. Select Administer > Optimization Modeler. The Optimization modeler form is displayed.
  2. Select the required object.
  3. Click the Detail tab.
  4. Click Add Row.
  5. Specify this information in the Detail tab:
    Constraint Name
    The name of the constraint.
    Description
    The description of the constraint.
    Participation
    Indicates if the constraint is required or optional. Possible values:
    • 1- Required
    • 0- Optional
  6. Select the FixedQtyPercentConstraint in the Type field.
  7. Click the Define Definition option corresponding to the Constraint Name.
  8. Specify this information:
    Quantity Percent Field
    The Qty% value used for the constraint is displayed.
    Note: By default, the value is MATERIAL_PCT and cannot be modified.
    Ingredients
    The item variables configured in the Item Variables tab is displayed.
  9. Click OK.
    Note: 
    • The optimization modeler calculates the quantity percentage using only the participating ingredients.
    • Before optimization, the required quantity percentage for the selected ingredients in the Qty % field on the Item Lines tab of the Formula form must be specified.
    • The subformulas are not considered during optimization.
    • If an item is marked as Yes and selected in the Fixed Qty % Constraint, the Qty % is fixed instead of the Qty.
    • If an item is marked as Non-contributor and selected in the constraint, the ingredient is not considered in Participation mode.
    • If an item is marked as Fixed and selected in the constraint, both the Qty and Qty % must match. If they do not match, the formula is not solved, and an error dialog is displayed.
    • If an item is marked as No and contributes to the yield, the results vary.
    • After running optimization, perform Calc and verify that the target Qty % matches the obtained Qty %.
