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:
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 Planning 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 Net Change Planning 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
