The scenario's plan status must be Open.
Generate Master Planning (Item) (cprmp1203m000)Use this session to run a master-plan simulation for one item. To simulate the item master plan:
This session provides several basic options for the simulation run. If you need one or more of the following options, you must use the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session instead:
Note If the specified scenario is defined as a central multisite scenario in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) details session, LN performs a central multisite simulation run. The simulation is only carried out for the specified range of plan periods. However, LN recomputes the projected inventory for the entire planning horizon and the (cumulative) ATP values for the entire ATP/CTP horizon.
Scenario The scenario's plan status must be Open. Plan Item The plan item for which LN generates a master
plan. Plan Unit The plan unit to which the
selected item belongs. From Specify the first of a range of plan periods for which LN generates a master
plan. From Date The start date of the specified plan period. To Specify the last of a range of plan periods for which LN generates a master
plan. To Date The end date of the specified plan period. Generate within Time Fence If this check box is selected, LN performs the simulation for the entire master-planning horizon of
the specified plan item, even if part of this horizon falls within the item's time fence. If this check box is cleared, the planning within the time fence is frozen and is not affected by the simulation. More so than the setting of the Generate within Time Fence check box in this session, the setting of the Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is determinant for simulation of item master plans within the time fence. Dependent on the previously mentioned check boxes, three possible situations exist:
Note You can define the length of the time fence in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Update Goods Flow If this check box is selected, the simulation includes
an update of the goods flow data from the execution level. Master Planning Engine The master-planning engine that
applies to the item. The master-planning engine is determined by the item's plan unit. If the item does not belong to a plan unit, the master-planning engine is Infinite Planning. Consider Material Constraints If this check box is selected, LN takes constraints on the availability of
components into account when generating an item's production plan. To generate
a production plan, LN uses the workload control (WLC) planning engine. You can define parameters for the workload control (WLC) planning engine in the Work Load Control Parameters (cpwlc2101m000) session. Note If you define Workload Control as the planning engine for the plan unit to which an item belongs (see the Plan Unit (cprpd6100m000) session), LN applies workload control. If the item's plan unit has Infinite Planning as its planning engine, or if the plan item has not been linked to a plan unit, this check box does not affect the planning of the item involved. Consider Capacity Contraints If this check box is selected, LN takes constraints on the availability of
production capacity into account when generating an item's production plan. To
generate a production plan, LN uses the workload control (WLC) planning engine. You can define parameters for the workload control (WLC) planning engine in the Work Load Control Parameters (cpwlc2101m000) session. Note If you define Workload Control as the planning engine for the plan unit to which an item belongs (see the Plan Unit (cprpd6100m000) session), LN applies workload control. If the item's plan unit has Infinite Planning as its planning engine, or if the plan item has not been linked to a plan unit, this check box does not affect the item planning. Update Exception Messages If this check box is selected, LN updates the planning exception messages for the item involved. You can view the exception messages that LN generates during the master planning run in the Exception Messages by Planner (cprao1120m000) session or the Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000) session. Update Resource Masterplan If this check box is selected, LN updates the resource master plan for the resources used to produce
the specified plan item. Number of Iterations The maximum number of iterations used by the
workload control planning algorithm. Since the use of iterations has a considerable effect on the duration of the computation, you must only use iterations if you need them. Note If you define Workload Control as the planning engine for the plan unit to which an item belongs (see the Plan Unit (cprpd6100m000) session), LN applies workload control. If the item's plan unit has Infinite Planning as its planning engine, or if the plan item has not been linked to a plan unit, this check box does not affect the item planning.
