Generate Order Planning (Item) (cprrp1220m000)

Use this session to carry out an order-planning run for one plan item to generate orders of the following order types:

  • Planned Production Order
  • Planned Production Schedule
  • Planned Purchase Order
  • Planned Distribution Order

If you use repetitive manufacturing, production schedules and planned production schedules for repetitive items are generated in this session. The production schedule horizon is used to differentiate between production schedules and planned production schedules.

LN only generates orders that fall within the order horizon.

 

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
The plan item for which Enterprise Planning must generate planned orders.
Include Parent Items
If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning generates planned orders for the parent items (multi-level) of the specified plan item (s). These items are the parent items in the bill of material (BOM), and receiving items in the supplying relations structure. LN also includes derived items and, items from the generic bill of material. LN completely mixes the item structures, which means that of an item you select the parent item, of that parent you select the derived item, the parent, the receiving items, the generic items, and so on.
Note

The following restrictions apply:

  • The parent items must have the specified plan level.
  • LN does not include items that are defined in Configurator.
  • LN does not include project items that have a standard-to-order (STO) structure.
  • The bottom-up functionality only selects the related items from one site. If a site change is detected, selection stops.
Include Child Items
If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning also generates planned orders for the parent items (multi-level) of the specified plan item. These items are the parent items in the bill of material (BOM) and the receiving items in the supplying relations structure. LN completely mixes the item structures, which means that of an item you select the parent item, of that parent you select the derived item, the parent, the receiving items, the generic items, and so on.

Enterprise Planning generates planned orders for:

  • The components of the specified plan item (multi-level) in the item's bill of material.
  • The supplying items for which you have defined supplying relationships in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session.
  • LN also includes the derived-from items and the generic items in the selection.
  • Top-down also works for project items that have a standard-to-order (STO) structure.
Note

The following restrictions apply:

  • The component items must have the specified plan level.
  • The top-down functionality only selects the related items of one site, and stops as soon as it discovers a site change.
Options
Run a Net Change Planning
If this check box is selected, LN carries out a net-change simulation.

In this case the simulation of the item does not start before the first net-change date.

If this check box is cleared, LN carries out a regenerative simulation.

Net-changes simulations are only used for the actual scenario. For other scenarios, Enterprise Planning always performs a full regeneration of the master plan or the order planning.

Generate
If this check box is selected, LN performs a master-plan simulation for each plan item involved that has an item master plan.
Update
If this check box is selected, LN performs a master-plan simulation for each plan item involved that has an item master plan.
Remove Firm Planned Orders
If this check box is selected, LN erases all previously generated planned orders with the Firm Planned order status, before it starts a new simulation procedure.
Note

LN always removes all previously generated planned orders with Planned order status before it starts a new simulation. Previously generated planned orders with Confirmed order status are retained.

Allow Multiple Sources per Demand
If this check box is selected, LN can divide the quantity of a single requirement over several sources of supply, according to the valid sourcing strategy.

If this check box is cleared, LN always assigns the quantity of a single requirement to one particular source. However, LN can still divide the quantity involved over various suppliers if the source is purchase, or supplying relationships if the source is distribution.

Firm Demand Pegged Order
If this check box is selected, planned orders with an allocation are set to Firm Planned.

Generate within
If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence.

More than the setting of the Generate within check box in this session, the setting of the Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is determinant for generation of planned orders within the time fence.

Dependent on the previously mentioned check boxes, three possible situations exist:

  • The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is cleared: Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence, regardless of the setting of the Generate within check box.
  • The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected, and the Generate within check box is cleared: Enterprise Planning only generates planned orders outside the time fence.
  • The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, and the Generate within check box are both selected: Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence.
Note

If the current check box is selected, you cannot select the Reset Net Change in Time Fence checkbox. If the current check box is selected, you can select the Confirm within check box.

Confirm within
If this check box is selected, all planned orders whose planned finish dates fall in the time fence, get the Confirmed order status.
Note

If the Generate within check box is cleared, you cannot select the current check box.

Reset Net Change in Time Fence
If this check box is selected, LN sets the net-change dates of the selected plan item to zero after a net-change simulation. So, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are also set to zero. Because of this, the changes that lie in the time fence are not taken into account in the next net-change RRP run.

If this check box is cleared, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are not set to zero. So, the changes in the time fence can be considered in a later net-change RRP run that simulates in the time fence.

Note

You can not select the current check box if the Generate within check box is selected.

Schedule Repetitive Work Cells
If this check box is selected, the production schedules linked to the work cells, that are affected during order planning, are scheduled against finite capacity.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth..

Update Pegging Relations
If this check box is selected, LN also calculates the pegging relations. If this check box is cleared, LN deletes all existing pegging relations.

To view the pegging relations, start the Browse Order Pegging (cprrp0740m000) session.

Note

You can modfiy this check box only if the Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning field in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session is User Specified. For more information, refer to Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning.

Automatic Order Grouping
If this check box is selected, LN rebuilds the automatic-update order groups.
Update Resource Masterplan
If this check box is selected, LN updates the resource master plan for the resources involved in the planned production orders that Enterprise Planning generates for the specified plan item.
Exception Messages
Print
If this check box is selected, LN prints an overview of the generated exception messages in a report. You can also send the report to the display browser for a quick overview of the planning problems.

LN also stores the exception messages in the database. The exception messages in the report are less detailed than the exception messages that are stored in the database. Use the following sessions to see these details:

  • Exception Messages by Planner (cprao1120m000)
  • Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000)
  • Exception Messages by Resource (cprao1130m000)
Save
If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning updates the exception messages in the Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000) session for the specified item.
Planner
The employee to whom LN assigns all generated exception messages.

If this field is empty, LN sends the item-related exception messages to the planner that is linked to the item in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. If no planner is linked to the item, LN stores the item-related exception messages without mentioning a planner. LN also stores non-item-related exception messages without mentioning a planner.
