Terms and Conditions ID An agreement between business partners about the sale,
purchase, or transfer of goods, in which you can define detailed terms and
conditions about orders, schedules, planning, logistics, invoicing, and demand
pegging, and define the search mechanism to retrieve the correct terms and
conditions. The agreement includes the following: - A header with the type of agreement and the business
partner(s).
- Search levels with a search priority and a selection of
search attributes (fields) and linked terms and conditions groups.
- One or more lines with the values for the search levels’
search attributes.
- Terms and conditions groups with detailed terms and
conditions about orders, schedules, planning, logistics, invoicing, and demand
pegging for the lines.
Search Level A priority level for searching and selecting a terms and
conditions line. Search levels include a selection of search attributes
(fields) and linked terms and conditions groups. Effective Date The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The
effective date often includes the effective time. Expiry Date The date from which a record or a setting is no longer valid.
The expiry date often includes the expiry time. Responsible for Supply Planning If this check box is selected, the supplier
(manufacturer) is responsible for initiating the component supply to a
customer's (subcontractor's) warehouse. If this check box is cleared, the customer
(subcontractor) is responsible for initiating the component supply from a
supplier's (manufacturer's) warehouse. For an item-warehouse only one terms and conditions
agreement can exist with the Responsible for Supply Planning check box selected.
Therefore, only one supplier can be responsible to supply a specific plan item to the same warehouse. Note You can only select this check box if you are the supplier
(manufacturer) and the terms and conditions type is set to Sales. Supply Planning by Supplier If this check box is selected, the supplier
(manufacturer) is responsible for initiating the component supply to a
customer's (subcontractor's) warehouse. If this check box is cleared, the customer
(subcontractor) is responsible for initiating the component supply from a
supplier's (manufacturer's) warehouse. For an item-warehouse only one terms and conditions
agreement can exist with the Supply Planning by Supplier check box selected.
Therefore, only one supplier can be responsible to supply a specific plan item to the same warehouse. Note You can only select this check box if you are the customer
(subcontractor) and the terms and conditions type is set to Purchase. Delivery Moments The pattern that specifies the fixed delivery moments. Note You can only change this field if the Responsible for Supply Planning or the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is
selected. Forecast received from Customer If this check box is selected, the supplier will receive a demand forecast from the customer. This forecast is an
aggregation of the planned and actual demand. Note You can only select this check box if you are the supplier
and the Responsible for Supply Planning check box is
selected. Send Forecast to Supplier If this check box is selected, the customer will send a demand forecast to the supplier. This forecast is an
aggregation of the planned and actual demand. Note You can only select this check box if you are the customer
and the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is
selected. Take Reference from Message If in the Demand Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session, the Demand Pegging Type field is set to Customer Reference Based or Internal Reference Based, use this field to define how to obtain the
reference. If this check box is selected, the reference is retrieved from the forecast
received from the customer. In addition, the reference is sent with the
confirmed supply. If this check box is selected, the reference is manually entered by the
user. Note You can only select this check box if the Forecast received from Customer check box is
selected. Send Reference to Supplier If in the Demand Pegging Terms and Conditions (tctrm1165m000) session, the Demand Pegging Type field is set to Internal Reference Based and this check box is selected, the reference from the
demand forecast is sent with the message to the supplier. In addition, this
reference is also used if the supplier confirms the supply to the customer. Note You can only select this check box if the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected. Aggregation Level Use this field to define the time period during which forecast
messages are aggregated before they are communicated. Note If this field is set to Detail, no
aggregation takes place. Each forecast transaction is communicated. You can only set aggregation levels if: - The Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected.
- The terms and conditions type is Purchase.
- Purchase terms and conditions are implemented.
- The VMI (customer side) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.
If any of these conditions are not met, the value in this
field is Not Applicable. Forecast Horizon Defines for how many calendar days into the future forecast is
sent to the supplier. For example, the customer can plan for 300 days, but
limit the forecast to 100 days. Note You can only change this field if the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected. Days The date on which the forecast horizon ends. Frozen Zone + The number of days into the future, calculated from the
forecast calculation date, for which the customer can no longer increase the demand forecast. Note You can only change this field if the Forecast received from Customer or the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected. Days The date on which the Frozen Zone + ends. Frozen Zone - The number of days, calculated from the forecast calculation
date, for which the customer can no longer decrease the demand forecast. Note You can only change this field if the Forecast received from Customer or the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected. Days The date on which the Frozen Zone - ends. Use Min-Max Inventory Levels If the supplier is responsible for component supply in a
customer's warehouse, this field indicates whether warehouse inventory levels
are taken into account in the supplying process. This field can have the following values: Minimum Levels The supplier guarantees that a minimum inventory level is
available in the customer's warehouse. If inventory drops below the minimum
level, supply is sent. Maximum Levels The supplier does not supply more than a maximum inventory
level. This is to avoid the use of excessive or unnecessary inventory
space Minimum and Maximum Levels The supplier's component supply is restricted to both
minimum and maximum inventory levels. No No inventory level restrictions are applicable.
Note You can only change this field if the Responsible for Supply Planning or the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is
selected. Min-Max Specification Use this field to define the unit in which the minimum and
maximum inventory levels are expressed. By Quantity The minimum and maximum inventory levels are expressed as a
fixed or time-phased quantity. Therefore, you can define the following: - A fixed minimum inventory level in the Minimum Inventory Level field.
- A fixed maximum inventory level in the Maximum Inventory Level field.
- Time phased inventory levels in the Planning Inventory Levels (tctrm1136m000) session.
Number of Days The minimum and maximum quantities are calculated by time
period and vary with the forecast. The quantities are calculated each time the
forecast is communicated or the terms and conditions are changed. The levels are calculated as follows: For more information, refer to Planning based on number of days supply.
Note - With the forecast, you can use minimum inventory levels
specified by quantity to act as a safety stock. Therefore, if minimum inventory levels are
defined, LN ignores
safety stock set up for the customer's warehouse.
- You can only select Number of Days if the Forecast received from Customer or the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected.
Min-Max Number of Days If minimum and maximum inventory levels are calculated by time
period and vary with the forecast, this field represents the item supply time.
This is used with the demand forecast and the Minimum Factor and Maximum Factor fields to calculate the minimum and
maximum inventory level quantities. The number of days is expressed in calendar days, not in
working days. Note You can only change this field if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days. Minimum Factor The minimum factor with the Min-Max Number of Days and the demand forecast,
determines the minimum inventory level that must be present in the customer's
warehouse. Note You can only change this field if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days. Maximum Factor The maximum factor with the Min-Max Number of Days and the demand forecast,
determines the maximum inventory level that can be present in the customer's
warehouse. Note You can only change this field if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days. Inventory Unit If the terms and conditions agreement is set up for a group of
items, for which the item inventory units can differ, use this field to define
a common inventory unit. Note You can only change this field if the Min-Max Specification field is set to By Quantity. Minimum Inventory Level The minimum inventory quantity that must be available in a
warehouse. Note You can only define a fixed inventory level if the Min-Max Specification field is set to By Quantity. Maximum Inventory Level The maximum inventory quantity that can be available in a
warehouse. Note You can only define a fixed inventory level if the Min-Max Specification field is set to By Quantity. Use Confirmed Forecast If this check box is selected, the customer specifies
which part of the forecast is confirmed. Note - You can only select this check box if the Forecast received from Customer or the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected.
- You cannot select this check box if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days.
Specify Confirmed Forecast by If the Use Confirmed Forecast check box is selected, use this field to define how
the customer specifies the confirmed part of the forecast. This field can have the following values: Base Confirmed Forecast on Use this field to define the (internal) method based on which a
customer determines the confirmed part of the forecast sent in the
message. This field can have the following values: All Forecast All demand forecast must be considered as confirmed
forecast. Confirmed End Item Demand A distinction is made between unconfirmed forecast and
actual/confirmed forecast in the various levels of the BOM. During the MRP
explosion, the difference between unconfirmed and confirmed quantities is taken
into account. Therefore, at component level, the confirmed and unconfirmed
forecast is known. First Periods Only the forecast quantities in the first number of periods
must be considered as confirmed forecast. None None of the demand forecast is considered as confirmed
forecast.
Example - Confirmed End Item Demand The customer sells item A. Component B is linked to item A.
Each item A needs 2 parts of B. The customer sends a forecast demand of B to
the supplier. Item A has demand from sales orders and an additional
forecast demand: - Sales: 100 pcs.
- Forecast: 200 pcs (non-consumed forecast).
- Planned Production: 300 pcs (sales and forecast).
The planned production order needs component
B: - Planned forecast: 300 *BOM quantity 2 = 600 pcs.
If the Base Confirmed Forecast on field is set to Confirmed End Item Demand, out of the total forecast of 600, the forecast of B
needed for confirmed forecast of A (sales orders), is confirmed. The demand of
B needed for unconfirmed forecast of A (non-consumed forecast), is unconfirmed. Therefore, the demand of B is split as follows: - Confirmed forecast: 200 pcs.
- Unconfirmed forecast: 400 pcs.
Interpret Confirmed Forecast If the Specify Confirmed Forecast by field is set to Terms and Conditions, use this field to define how the customer determines the
confirmed part of the demand forecast. Number of Periods The number of periods into which the forecast quantities are
considered as confirmed forecast. Note You can only change this field if the Base Confirmed Forecast on or the Interpret Confirmed Forecast field is set to First Periods. Forecast Period Length The length of the periods for which demand forecasts are
made. Note You can only define period lengths if: - The Interpret Confirmed Forecast field is set to First Periods.
- The terms and conditions type is Sales.
- Sales terms and conditions are implemented.
- The VMI (supplier side) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.
If any of these conditions are not met, the value in this
field is Not Applicable. Confirm Supply If this check box is selected, the supplier sends a confirmation of the
forecast to the customer. The confirmation holds the delivery quantities and
delivery dates to which the supplier committed himself. Based on this
confirmation, the customer checks whether the confirmed supply is enough to satisfy the
demand. Note - You can only select this check box if you are the supplier
and the Forecast received from Customer check box is
selected.
- You cannot select this check box if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days
Use Confirmed Supply If this check box is selected, the supplier sends a confirmation of the
forecast to the customer. The confirmation holds the delivery quantities and
delivery dates to which the supplier committed himself. Based on this
confirmation, the customer checks whether the confirmed supply is enough to satisfy the
demand. Note - You can only select this check box if you are the customer
and the Send Forecast to Supplier check box is
selected.
- You cannot select this check box if the Min-Max Specification field is set to Number of Days
Confirmed Supply Based On Use this field to define the type of demand on which a
supplier's confirmed supply is based. The confirmed supply is based on the
following: Total Forecast Confirmed Forecast The part of the forecast that is firm. This can be the following: - The forecast part needed for customer
orders.
- The forecast within a specific time frame.
Note You can only change this field if you are the supplier and
the Confirm Supply check box is selected. Confirm Supply Horizon The period, expressed as a number of days, during which a
supplier can decrease confirmed quantities. Note You can only change this field if the Confirm Supply or the Use Confirmed Supply check box is selected. Days The date on which the Confirm Supply Horizon ends. Replenishment Based On Use this field to define how a supplier must supply components
to the customer's warehouse. You can choose between reactive replenishment (inventory levels, or manual orders) or
planning (demand forecast) based replenishment. Note - You can only change this field if the Responsible for Supply Planning or the Supply Planning by Supplier check box is
selected.
- If the Confirm Supply or the Use Confirmed Supply check box is selected you can only select Manual, Inventory Level, or Confirmed Supply in this field.
