Confirm Planned Orders (cprrp1200m000)

Use this session to confirm planned orders. The result is that planned orders with the Planned or Firm Planned order status get the Confirmed order status. You can transfer confirmed planned orders to the execution level.

During the next planning run, confirmed orders are not moved or removed, only replanned and updated in case something changes in the lead times or in the routing.

If you select EP Order Group Selection, you can confirm planned or firm planned order for an entire order group.

 

Selection
Actual 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.

From 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.

Planned Distribution Orders

The method to determine the order lead time for planned distribution orders.

For planned distribution orders, you can choose the following methods to determine the order lead time:

  • Supplying Item

    The order lead time is defined as the time to manufacture or purchase the supplying item. This order lead time is defined in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) or Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) sessions respectively.

    The supplying item can be defined in another company, the supplying site.

  • Supply Lead Time
    The order lead time is defined as the distribution lead time. The calculation of the distribution lead time depends on whether you specified a carrier for the supplying relationship in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000). For more information, refer to Distribution Lead-time Calculation.
Order Lead-Time Multiplier

The factor used to multiply the order lead-time to calculate the period for which you want to confirm planned orders.

You can enter a value between 0.00 and 999999.00. The default value is 1.00
