Field Information

Scenario

scenario

If the Scenario Status field has the value Closed, you can no longer modify any data in this scenario.

General

Scenario Start/Finish Date

The period a scenario.

If you change the start or finish date, it does not immediately take effect. The changes are effected when the master plan is updated by means of the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session.

The value of the Scenario Start Date field also determines the availability of historic demand data for the generation of a demand forecast.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Scenario start and finish date.

Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning

This field determines whether LN must update the pegging relations if you execute an order-based planning run.

Allowed values

• Always

  Each time you execute an order-based planning run, LN also updates the pegging relations.

• Never

  If you execute an order-based planning run, LN does not update the pegging relations.

• User Specified

  If you execute an order-based planning run, LN updates the planning relations only if you select the Update Pegging Relations check box in the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session or the Generate Order Planning (Item) (cprrp1220m000) session.

Alternative Materials Horizon

The time period for which LN tries to find an alternative material if a standard material is not available.

The alternative materials horizon is expressed as a number of working days from the date you carry out the order-planning process. LN rounds the horizon to the end of a plan period.

Note: The value of this field must not exceed the value of the CTP Horizon field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session for any plan item used as alternative material. Otherwise, LN erroneously assumes that the alternative material is infinitely available to cover for shortages of the standard material.

This horizon is not applicable to use-up material. LN checks for use-up materials for the entire order horizon.

Days

The date on which LN sets the alternative materials horizon.

To find the correct date, LN starts from the current date, and counts forward the number of workdays that you entered in the Alternative Materials Horizon field. LN then rounds the date up to the end of that plan period.

Rolling Data

Rolling Scenario

If this check box is selected, the scenario is a rolling plan.

Reference Date

reference date

Rolling Frequency

Central Multicompany Planning

If this check box is selected, the scenario is a multicompany scenario. You can use multicompany scenarios to coordinate a number of local scenarios.

If this check box is cleared, the scenario applies to a single logistic company.

Note: If the Central Multicompany Planning check box is cleared, you can still perform some sort of multicompany planning.

Scenario Text

If this check box is selected, a text is present.

Actual Scenario

Forecast

Include Quotes

If this check box is selected, LN adds the sales and service quotes to the customer orders in the order and master plans.

Note: LN only takes the quotes with a high chance of success into account. See To add quotations to customer orders.

Minimum Days for Forecast

The minimum number of days that must be available for a plan item in the demand history to calculate a demand forecast with the Generate Demand and Inventory Plan (cpdsp1210m000) session.

Forecast Period Length

The period length that is used in the generation of the demand forecast in the Generate Demand and Inventory Plan (cpdsp1210m000) session.

Backward Forecast Consumption

The number of calendar days preceding the delivery date of customer orders during which the demand forecast can be consumed by those orders (including dependent demand).

If an item has an item master plan, the demand forecast for the plan period in which the planned or actual delivery dates of a customer order fall is always consumed, regardless of the value entered in this field.

If an item does not have an item master plan, the demand forecast for the day in which the planned or actual delivery dates of a customer order fall is always consumed, regardless of the value entered in this field.

Note: If an item has an item master plan and the limit for forecast consumption is halfway a plan period, LN uses the entire period for forecast consumption.

Forward Forecast Consumption

Indicates the number of calendar days following the delivery date of customer orders that the demand forecast may be consumed by those orders (including dependent demand).

If an item has an item master plan, the demand forecast for the plan period in which the planned or actual delivery dates of a customer order fall is always consumed, regardless of the value entered in this field.

If an item does not have an item master plan, the demand forecast for the day in which the planned or actual delivery dates of a customer order fall is always consumed, regardless of the value entered in this field.

Note: If the limit for forecast consumption is halfway a plan period, LN uses the entire period for forecast consumption.
