Generate Pegging Relations (cprrp0240m000)

Use this session to generate the pegging relations that show which orders for materials are related to which orders for end items.

The difference between this session and the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session is, that this session generates only pegging relations. The Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session generates planned orders and optionally also pegging relations.

 

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 Level

The level within a hierarchical planning structure.

When you plan on a higher plan level, plans are general and less detailed.

Example
[...]

Plan level 1 is the highest plan level; the higher the number, the lower the plan level.

Options
Net Change Run

If this check box is selected, LN updates the pegging relations only for the plan items marked as changed since the previous pegging update.

If a plan item has changed since the previous pegging update, the Pegging Net Change check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected.

For more information, refer to the Net-change pegging update section in Pegging for planned orders.

Delete Current Pegging Relations

If this check box is selected, LN deletes all pegging relations for all scenarios before the updated pegging relations are generated.

If you select this check box, you get a better system performance. However, if you want to keep the pegging relations for other scenarios, you must clear this check box.

Parallel Processing

If this check box is selected, LN distributes the calculations over multiple LN shells, also known as bshells, to improve performance.

Exception Messages
Save

If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning updates the exception messages in the Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000) session. The pegging exception messages are also updated.

Print Exception Messages

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 Messages for 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.
