Sales order integration with SCM Promiser

Infor SCM Promiser is an application that is tightly integrated with Infor SCM Planner. Order Promiser contains important functionality for accepting new customer demand. It provides realistic delivery dates and/or quantities on new customer demand, which is important in an APS-driven business model.

Infor SCM Planner can be implemented without Infor SCM Promiser, but the other way around is not possible.

If you want to use SCM Promiser in Infor LN 10, select the Order Promising Server check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

The main task of SCM Order Promiser is to determine, for a sales order (component) line with a planned item, whether or not it can be promised. As a result, when inserting or updating a line, inventory is checked by SCM Order Promiser. Inventory shortages are also resolved externally by SCM Order Promiser.

Inventory handling by OPS can lead to an update of the following sales order (component) line fields: Planned Delivery Date, Warehouse, and Order Promising Status. It can also lead to a split sales order line with delivery lines.
