| | Remove Plan Items of closed Projects (cprpd1220m000)Use this session to remove all plan-item
data for a plan item that you will never use anymore. This action can improve
system performance, especially if you have a very large number of relatively
simple projects. You can start this session by zooming from the Items - Planning Defaults (cprpd1110m000) session. The session also generates a report that lists all removed
plan items, and the plan items that could not be removed. If the plan item is
still used somewhere, LN does not remove the plan item. Then, to get more detailed error messages, try
to delete the plan item manually by using the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. If the Simulation check box is selected, LN prints the report, but
does not actually remove the plan items. Note - This session does not remove item data (in packages other
than Enterprise Planning); this session only removes plan
item data.
- You can reopen a closed project. In that case, you cannot
restore the removed plan item data; you must rebuild the plan item data
manually.
- If you remove the plan items of a closed project, and copy
the closed project to a new project, LN automatically recreates the removed plan
items in the new project.
Plan Item An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is
planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: - Master-based planning, which is similar to master production
scheduling techniques.
- Order-based planning, which is similar to
material-requirements planning techniques.
- A combination of master-based planning and order-based
planning.
Plan items can be one of the following: - An actual manufactured or purchased item.
- A product family.
- A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a
generic item.
A group of similar plan items or families is called a product
family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one
devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster
segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for
distribution planning. Planner The employee or department responsible for planning the
production, purchase and distribution of items. The planner takes into account
the inventory levels, availability of materials, and capacities of resources,
and reacts on signals such as rescheduling messages that LN generates. Project An endeavour with a special objective to be met within the
prescribed time and money limitations and that has been assigned for definition
or execution. Project Status The way to characterize a project. LN distinguishes these statuses: Free A project definition has been recorded, but the project has
not yet been executed. Changes are still possible. Active During the execution of a project you can release, purchase,
and register cost transactions. Finished The project is completed but it has not (yet) been
financially closed. You can still register cost transactions. Actual purchase
orders cannot be present for the project. Closed The project has been financially closed, the project
definition can no longer be changed. Archived The project is stored in an archive company. The project
archive company can be used as a repository for historical project
data.
Simulation If this check box is selected, LN does not actually
remove plan items. LN only prints a report that shows which plan items would have been removed if you
would have cleared this check box. | |
