Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000)

Use this session to view and maintain the plan item's item master plan.

You have the following options to do this:

  • Edit: select this option to have a more detailed overview of the item master plan and to manually change several values.
  • Overview: select this option to have a concise summary of demand, supply, and projected inventory.
  • Demand: select this option to see how demand for the plan item is built up.
  • Supply: select this option to review the supply data for the plan item.
  • ATP: select this option to review the ATP-related data.

Use the commands on the appropriate menu to zoom to various sessions. Use these sessions to further analyze aspects of the master plan data, or to recompute (update) the master plan.

Click Change Company on the appropriate menu to zoom to the Change Company (cpcom1200s000) session where you can directly switch to a different logistical company.

Note: 

The Update command on the appropriate menu performs a standard master plan update for the current item, and updates the goods flow data. For a more configurable simulation you can use the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session.

If you specify a Scenario Finish Date for your scenario that does not match the end of the last plan period, the length of this last plan period is not equal to the plan period length you defined in the Scenario - Periods (cprpd4120m000) session. This leads to disproportionate planning values when you roll the scenario in the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session.

Set the Refresh Rate field in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session to zero if you do not want LN to refresh the master plan screen automatically. If LN must refresh the screen, set the refresh rate to a high value (60 seconds or more) to prevent the window from appearing every 10 seconds, which slows down performance considerably.

Demand Forecast

The demand forecast for the specified plan item.

This field can be filled in four ways:

  • You can manually enter a forecast quantity or modify the generated forecast data.
  • LN calculates the demand forecast based on historical demand data if you use the Generate Demand and Inventory Plan (cpdsp1210m000) session.
  • You can copy the demand forecast from the sales budgets that you define in Sales with the Copy Sales Budget to Demand Forecast (cpdsp1280m000) session.
  • You can fill the demand forecast field from an external forecast application, such as a spreadsheet.

Extra Demand

The extra demand for the specified plan item.

This field can be filled in the following ways:

  • You can manually enter a quantity or modify the quantity that LN creates.
  • When you create the demand plan with the Generate Demand and Inventory Plan (cpdsp1210m000) session, and you select the Generate Demand Plan check box and the Generate to Extra Demand check box.

After a you generated the item master plan, you can delete the extra demand, copy it to Extra Demand field, or add it to the Demand Forecast field.

Special Demand

The special demand for the specified plan item.

You can manually create special demand in the Special Demand by Item (cpdsp2100m000) session.

This field also contains the forecast for assembly parts.

Nonconsumed Forecast

The nonconsumed demand forecast of the specified plan item.

To compute the nonconsumed demand forecast, LN takes into account the demand plan of the item, which consists of the following fields:

  • Demand Forecast.
  • Extra Demand.
  • Special Demand.

The total quantity of the demand plan gradually decreases as it is deduced by the consumed demand forecast, which consists of the following fields in the item master plan:

  • Customer Orders.
  • Customer Deliveries.
  • Dependent Scheduled Dem. (*).
  • Dependent Distribution Demand (*).
  • Dependent Material Demand (*).
  • Internal Deliveries.
  • Distribution Deliveries.

(*): The dependent demand only consumes the quantity of the demand plan, if you selected the Dependent Demand Forecast check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

The formula to calculate the nonconsumed demand forecast is:

Demand Forecast +
			 Extra Demand + Special Demand - Consumed Demand Forecast

Independent Demand

The demand that is not related to the demand for other plan items.

An example of independent demand is the demand for finished goods.

Dependent Demand

The part of the item's demand that is dependent demand.

LN generates dependent demand during a planning run (the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session or the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session). The requirements for dependent demand are then exploded via the bill of material of the main item, and, for each component, end up as dependent demand in the item master plan of the component.

The dependent demand is equal to the sum of the following fields:

  • Dependent Material Demand
  • Dependent Scheduled Demand
  • Dependent Distribution Demand
Note: In the current LN version, you must specify a warehouse on the BCM line in the Planning Bill of Critical Material (cprpd3120m000) session, to guarantee that dependent demand explosions for a plan item are allocated to the correct warehouse and plan item.
