To add quotations to customer orders
During a goods-flow update in Enterprise Planning, information on actual customer orders is retrieved from the execution level. You can see the volume of these orders in the Customer Orders field in the item master plan.
If the Include Quotes check box in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session has been selected, LN also adds sales quotations to the customer orders.
LN only includes sales quotations for which the success percentage is equal or higher to the value of the Minimum Probability % for Time Phased Inventory field in the Sales Quotation Parameters (tdsls0100s100) session. Quotations with a lower success percentage are not recorded in the planned inventory transactions.
Example
The following quotations have been entered in the Sales Control module:
| Customer | Ordered quantity | Success percentage |
|---|---|---|
| A | 200 | 10 % |
| B | 50 | 50 % |
| C | 300 | 90 % |
The Minimum Probability % for Time Phased Inventory field is set at 50 %.
In this case, the calculation of the master plan will take the sales quotations for customers B and C into account. The quotation for customer A will not be taken into account because the chance that an order will be closed is less than 50 %.
