| | Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000)The purchase contract line logistic data provides default
values to the purchase schedule that is linked to the purchase contract line. You can only maintain purchase contract line logistic data if
the Purchase Schedule in use check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session. To activate the purchase contract line logistic data, choose Activate. The Active check box is selected. To de-activate the
purchase contract line logistic data, choose De-activate. The Active check box is cleared. Contract Purchase contracts are used to register specific agreements
with a buy-from business partner that concern the delivery of specific goods. A contract is comprised of: - A purchase contract header with general business partner
data, and optionally, a linked terms and conditions agreement.
- One or more purchase contract lines with (central) price
agreements, logistic agreements, and quantity information that apply to an item
or price group.
- Purchase contract line details with logistic agreements and
quantity information that apply to an item or price group for a specific
location (warehouse) of a multicompany corporation. Contract line details can
exist only for corporate purchase contracts.
Purchase Office A department in your organization that is responsible for
buying the materials and services required by your organization. You assign
number groups to the purchase office. Active If this check box is selected, the logistic agreement
is active. If this check box is cleared, the logistic agreement is
inactive. You can update the agreement. You can activate a contract line in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session only if at least one logistic agreement
is active for the contract line. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not
retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to
customers. The examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Preferred Use this field to indicate whether the business partner is
preferred or fixed for the item. Priority An option that enables you to add a certain rating for
suppliers. If the priority is defined, the item/supplier combinations are
sorted according to descending priority. Allowed values The allowed values range from 0, which is the highest
priority, to 999, which is the lowest priority. Sourcing Percentage A percentage used to calculate how orders are divided among
suppliers. Note This parameter has no effect on the planning algorithms in Warehousing. Freezing Time Increase The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which
you can no longer increase the quantity of required items. If the purchase schedule is Shipment Based, which you can define in the Shipment or Receipt Based field of the current session,
frozen time limits are based on planned shipment dates. If the schedule is Receipt Based, frozen time limits are based on planned receipt dates. Frozen Period (-) The number of days, calculated from the current date, for which
you can no longer reduce the quantity of required items. If the purchase schedule is Shipment Based, which you can define in the Shipment or Receipt Based field of the current session,
frozen time limits are based on planned shipment dates. If the schedule is Receipt Based, frozen time limits are based on planned receipt dates. Use Working Days for Frozen Period If this check box is selected, only working days are
used when calculating frozen periods. If this check box is cleared, calendar days are used
when calculating frozen periods. Note If this check box is selected, the specified number of
working days is added to the current date. The working days are retrieved from
the calendar that is linked to the ship-from business
partner, the buy-from business partner, or the company. If this check box is cleared, the specified number of
calendar days is added to the current date. When planning the dates, the availability type from the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session is used. Delete Past Schedule Lines This check box determines how to handle undelivered and
redundant quantities on schedule lines with dates in the past. If this check box is selected, the schedule lines are
deleted by Enterprise Planning. If this check box is cleared, planning messages are
generated informing a planner to manually delete the schedule lines. Note This check box can be selected only if the Frozen Period for Decreasing Quantity is zero in the
current session. Capacity Time Unit The time unit in which the ship-from business partner capacity
is expressed. Minimum Capacity Tolerance The minimum percentage that can stay below ship-from business
partner capacity. Maximum Capacity Tolerance The maximum percentage that can exceed ship-from business
partner capacity. The maximum capacity tolerance is calculated as
follows: Maximum Capacity Tolerance * Supplier Capacity + Supplier Capacity Example - Supplier capacity: 100 pieces.
- Maximum capacity tolerance: 20 (percent).
- Capacity time unit: week.
Enterprise Planning takes into account that the supplier can only deliver a
maximum number of 120 pieces a week. Carrier/LSP An organization that provides transport services. You can link
a default carrier to both ship-to and ship-from business partners. In addition,
you can print sales and purchase orders on a packing list, sorted by
carrier. For ordering and invoicing, you must define a carrier as a
business partner. Internal Processing Time The time required between the recognition of needs and the
release of the purchase order. Internal processing time includes document
preparation and sourcing. Note If purchase schedules are automatically generated by Enterprise Planning, this
field is used in the supplier selection process. Enterprise Planning uses
this field, together with the Safety Time and Supply Time fields, to assign a priority to suppliers who can deliver the
required item. Safety Time The time that you can add to the normal lead time to protect
delivery of goods against fluctuations in the lead time so that an order can be
completed before the order's real need date. Note If purchase schedules are automatically generated by Enterprise Planning, this
field is used in the supplier selection process. Enterprise Planning uses
this field, together with the Internal Processing Time and Supply Time fields, to assign a priority to suppliers who can deliver the
required item. Unit for Safety Time The unit in which the safety time is expressed. Supply Time The total time required to obtain an item that is forecasted.
This time is used to calculate an item's order lead time, based on which a
company takes commitment decisions and executes capacity planning and order
management. Example For item A, the supplier communicated a supply
time of 50 days. This is in fact a reduced lead time and is only
possible because a three year forecast is sent to the supplier for this item.
If additional quantities are needed, which are not included in the forecast,
the supplier needs the full supply time, which is 300
days. Note If purchase schedules are automatically generated by Enterprise Planning, this
field is used in the supplier selection process. Enterprise Planning uses
this field, together with the Internal Processing Time and Safety Time fields, to assign a priority to suppliers who can deliver the
required item. Unit for Supply Time The unit in which the supply time is expressed. Full Supply Time The total time required to obtain an item that is not
forecasted. This time is used to calculate the full cumulative order lead time
for an item, which includes the cumulative lead time of purchased
parts. Example For item A, the supplier communicated a supply
time of 50 days. This is in fact a reduced lead time and is only
possible because a three year forecast is sent to the supplier for this item.
If additional quantities are needed, which are not included in the forecast,
the supplier needs the full supply time, which is 300
days. Note This field is visible only if the Use Full Supply Time check box is selected in the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session. Unit for Full Supply Time The unit in which the full supply time is expressed. Note This field is visible only if the Use Full Supply Time check box is selected in the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session. Lead Time Horizon The number of days that, together with the current
date/generation date, determines whether: - LN uses the calculated lead time to determine the planned receipt date. LN uses this
calculation when the date for which the lead time is calculated, falls outside
the lead time horizon. Planned dates are calculated using the value from the Calculated Lead Time (Days) field, which is derived from the
company's calendar.
- LN determines the planned receipt date, taking into account the calendars that are
related to the lead time components. LN uses this calculation when the date for which the
lead time is calculated, lies between the current date and the lead time
horizon. Planned dates are calculated using the individual lead time components
with the components' respective calendars.
Transportation Time (Days) The transportation time in days, which can be calculated in two
ways. LN retrieves the transportation time as follows: - If Freight is implemented, which you can define in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, calculation of the
transportation time is based on carrier, and routes. Route plans and service levels are not known at this point in time.
LN performs the following steps to retrieve the transportation
time. - If the route, the carrier, the origin, and the
destination addresses are known, LN first searches for route plans and then for standard routes with matching routes, carriers, and
addresses.
- If more than one matching route plan or standard route
is found, LN selects
the route plan or standard route with a transport means group that matches the transport means
group of the carrier.
- If LN still finds more than one route plan or standard route, route
plans have priority over standard routes. If only standard routes are found,
the standard route is selected following the settings of the Carrier/LSP Selection Criterion parameter in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session.
- If LN still finds more than one route plan, it selects the first one it
encounters in the database.
- If Freight is not implemented, LN takes the
transportation time between the ship-from business partner's address and the
receiving warehouse's address, based on a relevant distance table (if
available) in the Distance Table by City (tccom4137s000) session or in the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4138s000) session. From which of these two sessions the
transportation time is retrieved, depends on the value of the Usage Distance Tables field in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session.
Calculated Lead Time (Days) The rough purchase item lead time expressed in days. The
calculated lead time is only used to determine the planned receipt date of
forecast demand for which no accurate determination of the planned receipt date
is yet required. The calculated lead time is based on the availability type and calendar template that are linked
to the following fields: - Supply Time
- Internal Processing Time
- Safety Time
- Transportation Time (Days)
Note Each time you open or close the current session, LN (re)calculates the
calculated lead time. Calculated Full Lead Time (Days) The rough purchase full item lead time expressed in days. The calculated full lead time is based on the availability type and calendar template that are linked
to the following fields: - Full Supply Time
- Internal Processing Time
- Safety Time
- Transportation Time (Days)
Note - This field is visible only if the Use Full Supply Time check box is selected in the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session.
- Each time you open or close the current session, LN (re)calculates the
calculated full lead time.
Inbound Lead Time The time interval between the arrival of the items and the
actual storage in the warehouse. In this session, this field is displayed for information
purposes only. Date Tolerance (+) The number of days late that a supplier can make a delivery. Note This tolerance is used for pull call-off schedules and the
push schedules. Date Tolerance (-) The number of days early that a supplier can make a delivery. Note This tolerance is used for pull call-off schedules and the
push schedules. Hard Stop on Date Indicates the action performed by Infor LN when the date
tolerances are exceeded. Note - This field is enabled only if the Active check box is cleared.
- For a Detail contract line, Infor LN defaults this value
from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. If the value is not
defined in this session, Infor LN defaults this value from the related Total
line.
Quantity Tolerance (+) The maximum quantity that a supplier can deliver. The maximum
quantity tolerance is expressed as a percentage of the ordered quantity. LN uses the Quantity Tolerance (+) to determine the default value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session as follows: Max. Quantity Tolerance = 100 + Quantity Tolerance (+) EXAMPLE | Quantity Tolerance (-) | = 10% | | Minimum Quantity Tolerance | = 100% + 10% = 110% | | Ordered quantity | 200 |
In this case you do not accept receipts with a quantity over
220. Note For push schedules, the tolerated over-receipt quantity is calculated as
follows: - If blanket warehouse orders are used, the ordered quantity of the entire schedule
is used for the calculation.
- If receipts are made in Purchase Control, the
ordered quantity of the schedule line yet to be received, is used for the
calculation.
The receipt quantity that exceeds the ordered quantity is
added to the last schedule line. Quantity Tolerance (-) minimum quantity tolerance (-). LN uses the Quantity Tolerance (-) to determine the default value of the Minimum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session as follows: Minimum Quantity Tolerance = 100 - Quantity Tolerance (-) EXAMPLE | Quantity Tolerance (-) | = 10% | | Minimum Quantity Tolerance | = 100% - 10% = 90% | | Ordered quantity | 200 |
In this case you do not accept receipts with a quantity less
than 180. Note This tolerance is used for pull call-off schedules and the
push schedules. Hard Stop on Quantity Indicates the action performed by Infor LN when the quantity
tolerances are exceeded. Note - This field is enabled only if the Active check box is cleared.
- For a Detail contract line, Infor LN defaults this value
from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. If the value is not
defined in this session, Infor LN defaults this value from the related Total
line.
Use Material Release If this check box is selected, you can send material releases with forecasting data. Use Material Release for Firm Requirements If this check box is selected, you can send material releases that contain the actual
order. Note You can only select this check box if the Use Material Release check box is also selected. Use Shipping Schedule If this check box is selected, you can send shipping schedules. Note You cannot select this check box if the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is
selected. Use Sequence Shipping Schedule If this check box is selected, you can send sequence shipping schedules. Note You cannot select this check box if the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is
selected. Transaction Time Fence This field indicates for which purchase schedule lines
inventory transactions must be logged in Warehouse Orders of Warehousing, and
financial transactions must be logged in General Ledger and Accounts Payable of Financials. Irrespective of the chosen parameter: - Inventory transactions and financial transactions are
always logged for pull call-off schedules.
- No transactions are logged for pull forecast schedules. As
a result, this parameter is only applicable for push schedules and not for pull schedules.
Note Even if a purchase schedule line is outside the FAB period,
transactions are still logged for the schedule line when its requirement type
becomes Firm. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transaction time fence. Communication Channel The way in which purchase releases must be communicated to the business partner. Release EDI Message Directly If the Communication Channel field is set to EDI and this
check box is selected, EDI messages are prepared when a purchase release receives the status Scheduled in the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session. If this check box is cleared, you can prepare EDI
messages by selecting the Prepare EDI messages check box in the Print Purchase Releases (tdpur3422m000) session. Note - Electronic Commerce can only send the generated EDI messages to the supplier if
the status of the purchase release is Scheduled in the Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000) session. If the status is Created, the messages are not sent until the status
becomes Scheduled.
- When Electronic Commerce sends the EDI messages to the supplier, a purchase release
receives the status Sent.
Segment Set for Material Release The segment set used for material releases. Note A segment set for material release is only used in push schedules and pull forecast schedules. For pull call-off schedules, no
segment sets are used. Segment Set for Shipping Schedule The segment set used for shipping schedules. Note - A segment set for shipping schedule is only used in push schedules. For pull schedules, this segment set is not used.
- If the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected, you
cannot enter a segment set in this field.
Issue Pattern for Material Release The pattern used to determine the issue date for material releases. Note An issue pattern for material release is only used in push schedules and pull forecast schedules. In case of pull call-off
schedules, no issue patterns are used. Description The description of the issue pattern. Issue Pattern for Shipping Schedule The pattern used to determine the issue date for shipping schedules. Note - An issue pattern for shipping schedule is only used in push schedules. In case of pull schedules, this issue pattern is not used.
- If the Use Material Release for Firm Requirements check box is selected, you
cannot enter an issue pattern in this field.
Authorizations If this check box is selected, authorizations are used
and calculated. Authorizations for the schedule are updated in the FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdpur3534m000) session when: - A purchase release receives the Sent status
- The cumulatives are reset in the Reset Cumulatives (tdpur3230m000) session
FAB Period The time period during which the supplier is authorized to
manufacture the goods required on a schedule, calculated from the schedule
issue date on for push schedules, and from the current date on for pull
forecast schedules. The fab period is expressed in a number of days. Example - CUM start quantity: 10000
- Schedule issue date/current date: 05.07.99
- Fab period: 20 days
| Issue/current date | Quantity | | 05.07.99 | 100 | | 12.07.99 | 100 | | 19.07.99 | 100 | | 26.07.99 | 100 |
Fab time fence : 05.07.99 (+ 20 days) = 25.07.99.
Fab authorization: 10000 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 10300.
RAW Period The time period during which the supplier is authorized to
procure the raw materials required on a schedule, calculated from the schedule
issue date on for push schedules, and from the current date on for pull
forecast schedules. The raw period is expressed in a number of days. Example - CUM start quantity: 10000
- Schedule issue date/current date: 05.07.99
- Raw period: 20 days
| Issue/current date | Quantity |
|---|
| 05.07.99 | 100 | | 12.07.99 | 100 | | 19.07.99 | 100 | | 26.07.99 | 100 |
Raw time fence : 05.07.99 (+ 20 days) = 25.07.99.
Raw authorization: 10000 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 10300.
Shipment or Receipt Based Specify on what date and time (schedule) requirements are
based. Note The value of this field is defaulted to the Shipment/Receipt Based field of the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session. | |
