| | Item Supplier Plan-Find (cpvmi0530m000) Use this session to display an item-business-partner plan You can use this session to
see how the planned inventory of an item that is supplied and planned by a
particular supplier develops over time. This session acts more or less like the Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000) session with a filter that only displays the
transactions related to the selected supplier. If you start this session, LN first starts the Item Business Partner Plan (Customer VMI Role) - Selection (cpvmi0531s000) session,
in which you select the some parameters for this session. This session can display three types of
item-business-partner plan, depending on the value of the VMI requirement type that you select when you start this session. The VMI
requirement type can have the following values: Actual and Planned Demand The item-business-partner plan is based upon the actual
demand data and planned demand data that you generated in the order-planning
process. Calculated Business Partner Forecast The item-business-partner plan is based upon the demand data
from the forecast that you have calculated in the most recent
order-planning run. (This calculated forecast may or may not yet have been sent
to your supplier). Sent Business Partner Forecast The item-business-partner plan is based upon the demand data
from the most recent revision of the forecast sent to your supplier. (After LN calculates the
forecast, you can modify the forecast before you send the forecast to your
customer).
Settings Scenario The identification of an overall planning solution. Each scenario represents one overall planning solution, and
involves particular settings for the planning of items and resources. You can
use scenarios to analyze and compare various planning options and to find the
best planning solution. For example, you can vary demand forecasts or sourcing
strategies. One of the scenarios is the actual scenario, which
corresponds with the actual planning situation. You can only transfer planned
orders and production plans from the actual scenario to the execution level of LN. 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. Buy-from Business Partner The business partner from whom you order goods or services;
this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes
the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery
terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Requirement Type The type and origin of the requirements on which LN can base an item
supplier plan or an item customer plan in a vendor-managed-inventory situation.
Depending on the requirement type, LN uses different demand data to calculate how much
of an the item is planned to be available in each period. The VMI requirement type can have the following
values: - Calculated Business Partner Forecast
- Sent Business Partner Forecast
- Received Business Partner Forecast
- Calculated Confirmed Supply
- Sent Confirmed Supply
- Actual and Planned Demand
Planner ID The planner that is responsible for planning this plan item. Actual Stock The current inventory of the plan item. If the information about the actual stock
is only available at the supplier that handles the supply planning for the plan
item, this field displays the confirmed stock. Confirmed Stock The actual stock of a plan item in a VMI warehouse, as reported
by the supplier to the customer. In a vendor-managed-inventory situation, where the supplier is
responsible for the supply planning of an item in a warehouse at the customer's
site, the supplier keeps track of the inventory levels. In that case, the
supplier informs the customer of the actual stock. Confirmed Stock The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure
conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the
price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use
the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all
item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Delivery Moment The pattern code that determines the delivery moments on
which you supplier agreed to deliver the items. For example, you can specify
that the goods must always be delivered on Wednesdays at 8:00 AM. Note This field displays the value of the Delivery Moments field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. That field can be left empty. If this field is empty, your supplier is
free to choose any moment to deliver the requested goods. If this field displays a pattern code, LN can shift the date
of delivery backwards to match one of the agreed delivery moments in the
delivery pattern. Date The date and time on which the items are supposed to be
received in or issued from the warehouse. The calculation of the date depends on the type of record: Scheduled Receipts The quantity of items that you expect to receive from your VMI supplier. These scheduled receipts based on the following
information: Note LN retrieves the scheduled receipt data from
the Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session. Confirmed Supply/Expected Supply The quantity of item the supplier has confirmed or is expected
to be delivered to the customer on the planned delivery date. Planned Available (Total) The expected inventory level that will be reached after this
demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming
that not only the confirmed forecast but also the unconfirmed forecast will lead to actual issues from the warehouse. Planned Available (Confirmed) The expected inventory level that will be reached after this
demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming
that only the confirmed forecast will lead to actual issues from the warehouse. ATP The item quantity that is still available to be promised to a
customer. In LN,
available-to-promise (ATP) is part of a more extended framework of order
promising techniques called capable-to-promise (CTP). If an item's ATP is
insufficient, CTP goes beyond ATP in that it also considers the possibility of
producing more than was initially planned. In addition to the standard ATP functionality, LN also uses channel ATP.
This term refers to the availability of an item for a certain sales channel,
taking into account the sales limits for that channel. For all other types of order promising functionality used in LN, the term CTP is used. Acronym: If the VMI requirement type is Actual and Planned Demand, LN calculates the ATP
based on the confirmed actual demand and the planned demand. If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Business Partner Forecast or Sent Business Partner Forecast, LN calculates the ATP based on the confirmed demand and the confirmed actual demand and the planned demand. Minimum Inventory The minimum inventory level that must be maintained. Maximum Inventory The maximum inventory level permitted. Planning Time Fence The value of the Time Fence field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Order Horizon The value of the Order Horizon field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. ATP Horizon The value of the CTP Horizon field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Net Change Date The value of the Net Change Date field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Use Min-Max Inventory Levels Terms and Conditions Effective Date The value of the Effective Date field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Expiry Date The value of the Expiry Date field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Send Forecast to Supplier Use Confirmed Supply The value of the Use Confirmed Supply field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. BP Forecast Horizon The value of the Forecast Horizon field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Frozen Zone + The value of the Frozen Zone + field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Frozen Zone - The value of the Frozen Zone - field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. Confirmed Supply Time Fence Detail Order Type The type of order displayed on this line. Order Number The order number that identifies the demand or the order. Line Position Number Further details to identify the supply or demand. Demand The quantity of the demand. If this line represents a supply, this
field displays zero (0). Supply The quantity of the supply. If this line represents a demand, this
field displays zero (0). Planning Confirmed Forecast Planning Unconfirmed Forecast Consumed Forecast The part of the forecast that has already resulted in issues from the
warehouse, after the forecast data was sent to the supplier. The actual issues consume the forecast demand. Consumed Supply The part of the confirmed supply that has already resulted in receipts or planned receipts into
the warehouse after the confirmed-supply data has been received from the
supplier. The receipts consume the confirmed supply. Initial Hidden Default Warehouse The default warehouse of the plan item, defined in the Items - Planning session. Specification Specification To display the specification, in the menu,
click Specification. Effectivity Unit A means to control the validity of variations by effectivity
units. Unit effectivity enables you to model changes for the
following entities: - Engineering bill of material
- Production bill of material
- Routing
- Routing operations
- Supplier selection
- Sourcing strategies
Allocated to BP If this record involves a supply, this field indicates the sold-to business partner to which this supply was allocated or demand pegged. If this record involves a demand, this field indicates the
sold-to business partner to which the supply that can fill this demand must
have been allocated or demand pegged. LN uses this characteristic to match supply
and demand. Allocated to Business Object Type If this record involves a supply, this field indicates the
type of order to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged, such as, Sales Order,
or Service Order. If this record involves a demand, this field indicates the type
of order to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been allocated
or demand pegged. LN uses this characteristic to match supply
and demand. Note The following fields are always used in combination;
together, they identify the relevant order or order line: - Allocated to Business Object Type
- Allocated to Business Object
- Allocated to Business Object Reference
Allocated to Business Object If this record involves a supply, this field indicates the order,
or order line, to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged, such as, Sales Order,
or Service Order. If this record involves a demand, this field indicates the order,
or order line, to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been
allocated or demand pegged. LN uses this characteristic to match supply
and demand. Note The following fields are always used in combination;
together, they identify the relevant order or order line: - Allocated to Business Object Type
- Allocated to Business Object
- Allocated to Business Object Reference
Allocated to Reference If this record involves a supply, this field indicates the
reference code to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged. If this record involves a demand, this field indicates the
reference code to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been
allocated or demand pegged. LN uses this characteristic to find a
matching supply for this demand. LN uses the Allocated to Reference field to record an internal
reference. You can use a reference code to keep a
collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings,
for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be
returned later. Use Unallocated Inventory If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning can use
unallocated inventory to supply the demand. Enterprise Planning uses
allocated inventory first. If there is not enough allocated inventory, Enterprise Planning also
uses unallocated inventory. If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning can use
only allocated inventory to fill the demand. Note After this record has been created, the
value of this field is kept unchanged, even if the terms and conditions change. | |
