| | Forecast Revisions from Customer (cpvmi0506m000) Use this session to display the revisions of the forecast you received from your customer. To view the details of a forecast revision,
double-click a record. Before you can use a forecast revision in a planning run, the revision must be
accepted. If the Automatic Accept Forecast check box in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session has been selected, revisions are automatically
accepted upon receipt. To specify the number of past revisions LN stores, use the Number of Revisions field in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. 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. Sold-to BP Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner
who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the
configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project. The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include
the following: - Default price and discount agreements
- Sales order defaults
- Delivery terms
- The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner
Revision The revision number linked to the messages that communicate
demand and supply data between customer and supplier. A business partner can send multiple revised versions of
messages with demand and supply data. Each revised version gets a revision
number that has been incremented by one. The customer generates the revision numbers. The supplier uses
the same revision to mark a corresponding message to the customer. Date Sent Forecast The date your customer sent you the forecast according to your customer. Receipt Date The date you received the forecast from your supplier. Date Sent Confirmed Supply Forecast Accepted If this check box is selected, this revision has been accepted. Before you can use a
