Commitment Policy

Specify for each item if and when you want to commit the ordered quantity automatically.

Note: You can change the commitment policy as long as no commitments are made for the item in the Inventory Commitments (whinp2100m000) session.

Allowed values

Minimum Quantity to Commit

The minimum quantity that must be committed in case of a partial allocation.

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Note: 
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for a partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for a partial allocation.

Minimum Rate for Commitment

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Note: 
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for a partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for a partial allocation.

Ship Line & Cancel

The available inventory is shipped. If sufficient inventory exists, this results in a complete shipment. Lack of inventory does not result in a back order but in cancellation of the order for the remaining quantity. LN enters a predefined cancel reason to the order line.

Ship Kit Complete

A main item must be delivered as a whole. LN assigns a unique set number to the component lines that constitute a main item and that must be shipped in one set. Lack of inventory results in back order for the main item, which must also be delivered as a whole.

Period for Shelf Life

The unit of time in which the shelf life is expressed.

Shelf Life [Periods]

The period during which the item must at least be saleable or usable for the sold-to business partner after receipt.

The shelf life is used to calculate the minimum required best before date for perishable LIFO/ FIFO items.

Note: 
  • When the item is shipped to the sold-to business partner, the standard LIFO/FIFO outbound policy is overruled.
  • The best before date is called the Inventory Date in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session.

Example

The Shelf Life [Periods] is set to 4 days. If the planned receipt date for the item is Monday the first, the best before date is Friday the fifth. This means the item is at least saleable/usable until Friday the fifth.

You must use box as a sales unit for this business partner.

If this check box is cleared, ATP results are expressed in the inventory unit. If a delivery schedule is generated, the unit of measure on the order line is updated to the inventory unit.

Example

A sales order is available with a sales order quantity expressed in boxes. The inventory unit is pieces. If the Quantity Unit Binding for Planning check box is selected, after an availability check is executed and accepted in the Capable to Promise Overview (cprrp4899m000) session , the order line is split up in sub-deliveries with quantities still expressed in boxes.

Linear Estimate

If this check box is selected, LN makes a linear estimate to determine the new forecast quantity for a sales schedule of the Material Release type, if this sales schedule was preceded by a sales schedule of the Shipping Schedule type or the Sequence Shipping Schedule type.

  • Material Release

    The sales schedule only consists of a Material Release. Shipping is performed based on the Firm or Immediate requirements in the material release.
  • Shipping Schedule

    The sales schedule consists of a Material Release followed by a Shipping Schedule. Shipping is carried out based on the Firm and Immediate requirements in the shipping schedule. The material release only sends forecasting data.
  • Sequence Shipping Schedule

    The sales schedule consists of a Material Release followed by a Sequence Shipping Schedule. Shipping is carried out based on the Firm and Immediate requirements in the sequence shipping schedule. The material release only sends forecasting data.

Shipment or Receipt Based

CUM Model used

Use this field to indicate what cumulative (CUM) model is used.

The used CUM model determines the cumulative quantity:

  • Your business partner provides you with.
  • On which the adjustment quantity is based.
  • That is used for resetting the cumulatives and authorizations.

Allowed values

  • Order Based

    The prior required CUM is used.
  • Receipt Based

    The received CUM is used.
  • Not Applicable

    Applies if the EDI Message is set to Sequence Shipping Schedule.

Referenced Schedule

If this check box is selected, you can only receive referenced sales schedules for the item and business partner combination.

The EDI message determines whether you can receive referenced sales schedules for a specific item and business partner combination.

  • Material Release

    If the EDI message is Material Release, you cannot select the current check box.
  • Shipping Schedule

    If the EDI message is Shipping Schedule, you can select the current check box. The current check box is cleared by default.
  • Sequence Shipping Schedule

    If the EDI message is Sequence Shipping Schedule, the current check box is always selected and disabled.

Approve Referenced Sales Schedules automatically

You can only apply automatic approval for referenced sales schedules. As a result, you can only select the current check box if the Referenced Schedule check box is also selected.

Consider Planned/Actual Delivery Date during Reconciliation

If this check box is selected, the planned/actual delivery date is considered when reconciling sales schedules. Infor LN calculates the shipped cumulative based on the planned/actual delivery date.

In this case, the calculation of the shipped cumulatives is as follows:

The total shipped quantity for the sales schedule - the quantities that are 
shipped, but that are not received yet. 

With this calculation, you can prevent disputes resulting from shipments that are received in a different order as in which they are shipped. These disputes are called out of sequence disputes.

As a result, the Delivery Date field is filled in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session and the Sales Schedule Reconciliation (tdsls3131m000) session. This field is filled with:

  • The calculated receipt date when the shipment is confirmed.
  • The actual receipt date when the shipment is received by the sold-to business partner.

If this check box is cleared, the shipment date is used when reconciling sales schedules. The shipped cumulatives that are communicated when the shipment is confirmed, are inserted in LN. If the shipped quantity differs from the received quantity, a dispute is always generated. LN does not take into account out of sequence receipts.

FAB Period

The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to fabricate the items required on a sales schedule. The FAB period is calculated starting from the sales schedule's last release date.

Note

The FAB Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner.

LN only uses the FAB Period to reset FAB authorizations if the used authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset.

RAW Period

The time period, expressed in days, during which you are authorized to buy or produce the raw materials that are needed to produce the items required on a sales schedule. The RAW period is calculated starting from the sales schedule's last release date.

Note: The RAW Period is mainly used as a reference, because you get the authorizations from your business partner.

LN only uses the RAW Period to reset RAW authorizations if the used authorization method as specified in the Authorizations to be field of the current session is Reset.

Authorizations to be

The method that is used to reset the FAB and RAW authorizations.

Allowed values

Carried Forward

The high FAB authorizations and high RAW authorizations are reduced by the reset quantity.
