Item Customer Plan-Find (cpvmi0520m000)

Use this session to display an item customer plan. You can use this session to see how the planned inventory at your customer's site develops over time and to analyze how various planned transactions influence this planned inventory.

If you start this session, LN first starts the Item Customer Plan - Find (cpvmi0521s000) session, in which you select the some parameters for this session.

This session can display three types of item customer 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:

  • Received Forecast from Customer
    The session uses the demand data from the forecast that you received from your customer.
  • Calculated Confirmed Supply
    The session uses the demand data from the most recently calculated confirmed supply.
  • Sent Confirmed Supply
    The session uses the demand data from the confirmed supply that you sent to your customer. (After LN calculates the confirmed supply, you can modify the confirmed supply before you send the confirmed supply 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.

Sold-to Business Partner

Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project.

The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:

  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms
  • The related ship-to and invoice-to 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 Forecast to Supplier
  • Sent Forecast to Supplier
  • Received Forecast from Customer
  • Calculated Confirmed Supply
  • Sent Confirmed Supply
  • Actual and Planned Demand
Planner ID

The planner that is responsible for planning this plan item.

You can specify a plan item's planner in the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

Actual Stock

The current inventory of the plan item in the VMI warehouse at the customer.

Actual 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 must deliver the items in the VMI warehouse at the customer. For example, you can be required to deliver the goods always 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, you are free to choose any moment to deliver the requested goods to your customer.

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 VMI warehouse at the customer.

If this line describes a demand, this date corresponds to the start date of the aggregation period.

If this line describes a supply, this date is the end date and time of the period.

Total Demand

The sum of the confirmed part and the unconfirmed part of the forecast.

Confirmed Demand

The confirmed part of the forecast.

Scheduled Receipts

The quantity of items that you expect to receive according to the orders that are transferred to the execution level.

These scheduled receipts represent orders that move goods from your site to the VMI warehouse at your customer's site by one of the following means:

Note

LN retrieves the scheduled receipt data from the Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session.

Planned Supply

The quantity of plan items that the VMI warehouse at your customer's site is expected to receive according to the planned orders.

Note

LN retrieves the planned supply data from the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session.

Planned Avail.(Total)

The expected inventory level in the VMI warehouse at your customer's site that will be reached after this demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming that both the confirmed demand and the unconfirmed demand that your customer communicated to you, will lead to actual issues from the VMI warehouse.

Note

The values of this field depend on the VMI requirement type for which you opened this item customer plan:

  • If the VMI requirement type is Received Forecast from Customer, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the full quantity for which your customer has reported forecast.
  • If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the item quantities as was suggested by your most recent order-planning run.
  • If the VMI requirement type is Sent Confirmed Supply, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the item quantities that you communicated to your customer.
Note

If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply or Sent Confirmed Supply, the Planned Avail.(Total) field equals the Planned Available(Confirmed)

Planned Available(Confirmed)

The expected inventory level in the VMI warehouse at your customer's site that will be reached after this demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming that only the confirmed demand that your customer communicated to you, will lead to actual issues from the VMI warehouse.

Note

The values of this field depend on the VMI requirement type for which you opened this item customer plan:

  • If the VMI requirement type is Received Forecast from Customer, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the full quantity for which your customer has reported as forecast.
  • If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the item quantities as was suggested by your most recent order-planning run.
  • If the VMI requirement type is Sent Confirmed Supply, this field shows you what will happen if you supply the item quantities that you communicated to your customer.
Note

If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply or Sent Confirmed Supply, the Planned Avail.(Total) field equals the Planned Available(Confirmed) field.

ATP(Total)

The quantity available to promise assuming that both the confirmed demand and the unconfirmed demand that your customer communicated to you, will lead to actual issues from the VMI warehouse.

Note

If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply or Sent Confirmed Supply, the ATP is not based on the demand information received from your customer, but the ATP will be based on the confirmed supply you just calcuIated, or sent to your customer. In these cases, the ATP(Total) field equals the ATP(Confirmed) field.

ATP(Confirmed)

The quantity available to promise assuming that only the confirmed demand that your customer communicated to you, will lead to actual issues from the VMI warehouse.

Note

If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Confirmed Supply or Sent Confirmed Supply, the ATP is not based on the demand information received from your customer, but the ATP will be based on the confirmed supply you just calcuIated, or sent to your customer. In these cases, the ATP(Total) field equals the ATP(Confirmed) field.

MininumTarget Inventory

The minimum inventory level that must be maintained in the VMI warehouse at the customer.

If a minimum level was specified in the applicable terms and conditions agreement, that level must be maintained. Otherwise, the safety stock is applied as usual.

MaximumTarget Inventory

The maximum inventory level that is permitted in the VMI warehouse at the customer.

If a maximum level was specified in the applicable terms and conditions agreement, that level must not be exceeded. Otherwise, no maximum is applied.

Days ofCoverage

Business Partner

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.

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:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference

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 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.
