Simulated time period (RRP run)

An order simulation (RRP run) is always carried out for a particular time period.

The simulated time period is limited by a number of factors:

  • The start date and end date of the scenario, defined in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session.
  • The time fence and the order horizon of the item, defined in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.
Firm-planned orders

A firm-planned order serves as a sort of additional time fence: LN does not generate planned orders before the last firm-planned order. If necessary, LN generates reschedule-in messages. However, you can override this rule by selecting the Planned Order before Firm/Actual check box in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session.

Simulate in time fence

If you select the Generate Within Time Fence check box, the time fence is ignored and the simulation can start at the current date.

Net-change simulation

If you select the Run a Netchange Simulation check box, the simulation does not start before the net-change date (see Net-change simulations).

Note

LN determines the end date and time for the simulated time period with the following formula:

End point = current date + order horizon - 1 second
