Include Parent Items

If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning extends the item selection and also takes into account the multi-level structure of the bill of material (BOM), supplying relationships, and the relations that exist between generic items and the possible product variants.

For the range of plan items that you specified in the From Plan Item and To Plan Item fields, or for any item that LN includes in the selected range as a result of the bottom-up item selection, LN extends the item selection with their:

• Parent items of the bill of material.
• Receiving items that you specified in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) sessions.
• Parent items in the generic bill of material, for the generic items included in the specified item range.
• Derived items: the project items for which you created a project in the Project Control module in Manufacturing .

During the bottom-up item selection, LN completely mixes the existing item structures. The selection algorithm takes in account, for example, the parent-child structure of the BOM, comes across a distribution structure that you modelled by supplying relationships, and finally ends up in the structure of standard, generic, and project items.

Note: 

If you specified the full range of items, this check box is cleared and cannot be changed.

The following restrictions apply:

• The parent items must have the specified plan level.
• LN does not include items that you defined in Configurator .
• LN does not include project items that have a standard-to-order (STO) structure.
• The bottom-up functionality only selects the related items of one single company, and stops as soon as it discovers a company change.

Include Child Items

If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning extends the item selection, and takes the multi-level structure of the bill of material (BOM), supplying relationships, and the relations that exist between generic items and the possible product variants into account.

For the range of plan items specified, or any item included as a result of the bottom-up item selection, LN adds:

• All components from the bill of material (BOM)
• The supplying items specified in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session
• The derived-from items; generic items that can be customized for projects in the Project Control module.

During top-down item selection, LN completely mixes the existing item structures. The selection algorithm takes in account, for example, the parent-child structure of the BOM, comes across a distribution structure that you modelled by supplying relationships, and finally ends up in the structure of standard, generic, and project items.

Note: 

• If you specified the full range of items, this check box cannot be selected.
• Top down also works for project items that have a standard-to-order (STO) structure.

• The following restrictions apply:

  • Component items must have the specified plan level
  • The top-down functionality only selects related items from one company. If a company change is detected, selection stops.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Top-down item selection.

Order Phase Number

The first of the range of phase numbers that you want to use as a selection criterion.

Enterprise Planning only creates planned orders for plan items with an order phase number in the specified range.

Vendor Selection

If this check box is selected, you can specify a range of suppliers. LN limits the simulation to items and item groups supplied by one of the suppliers in the selection range.

LN retrieves the items and item groups that are linked to the selected suppliers from the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. LN only takes into account the item/supplier relations that are valid in the planning horizon. The validity of an item/supplier relation is determined by its effective date and end date. These dates must fall in the planning horizon.

Note: To plan all items that directly or indirectly use components from particular suppliers, also select the Include Parent Items check box.

Buy-from Business Partner

Specify the first of the range of buy-from business partners that you want to use as a selection criterion, if you selected the Vendor Selection check box.

Planning Group Selection

If this check box is selected, orders are only generated for the selected planning groups.

Planning Group

Select the range of planning groups for which orders will be generated.

Options

Run a Net Change Planning

If this check box is selected, LN carries out a net-change simulation.

If this check box is cleared, LN carries out a regenerative simulation.

Net-changes simulations are only used for the actual scenario. For other scenarios, Enterprise Planning always performs a full regeneration of the master plan or the order planning.

Parallel Processing

If this check box is selected, LN distributes the calculations over multiple bshells, to improve performance.

Generate

If this check box is selected, LN also automatically performs a master plan simulation for every item within the selection that has an item master plan.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth.

Selecting this check box has a negative impact on the system performance. It is recommended to use the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session for simulating large numbers of items.

Update

If this check box is selected, LN updates the item master plan of all simulated items online.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth.

You are recommended to only select the current check box if you simulate small selections, because of performance.

If you want to simulate a large number of items, you are recommended to clear the current check box. After simulation, you can simulate a master plan in the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session if the Update Goods Flow check box is selected.

Remove Firm Planned Orders

If this check box is selected, LN erases all previously generated planned orders with the order status set to Firm Planned, before it starts a new simulation procedure.

Note: LN always removes all previously generated planned orders with the Planned order status before it starts a new simulation. Previously generated planned orders with the Confirmed order status are retained.

Allow Multiple Sources per Demand

If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning creates planned orders with various order types according to the sourcing strategy that you defined for the item in the Sourcing Strategy (cprpd7110m000) session.

If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning creates only one type of planned orders, according to the setting of the Item Type field in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and the settings for the item in the Date-Effective Supply Source (tcibd0510m000) session.

Firm Demand Pegged Order

If this check box is selected, planned orders with an allocation are set to Firm Planned.

Generate within

Use this check box to determine whether or not Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence.

Dependent on the previously mentioned check boxes, three possible situations exist:

• If Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is cleared Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence, regardless of the setting of the Generate within check box.
• If Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected, and the Generate within check box is cleared Enterprise Planning generates planned orders outside the time fence.
• If Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, and the Generate within check box are both selected Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence.

Note: If the current check box is selected, you cannot select the Reset Net Change in Time Fence check box.

Confirm within

If this check box is selected, for all planned orders of which the planned finish dates fall in the time fence, the order status is set to Confirmed.

Note: If the Generate within check box is cleared, you cannot select the current check box.

Reset Net Change in Time Fence

If this check box is selected, LN sets the net-change dates of all selected plan items to zero after a net-change simulation. So, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are also set to zero. Because of this, the changes that lie in the time fence are not taken into account in the next net-change RRP run.

If this check box is cleared, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are not set to zero. So, the changes in the time fence can be considered in a later net-change RRP run that simulates in the time fence.

Note: If the Generate within check box is selected, you cannot select the current check box.

Schedule Repetitive Work Cells

If this check box is selected, the production schedules linked to the work cells are calculated against infinite capacity.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth.

Update Pegging Relations

If this check box is selected, LN also calculates the pegging relations. If this check box is cleared, LN deletes all existing pegging relations.

To view the pegging relations, start the Browse Order Pegging (cprrp0740m000) session.

Note: You can modify this check box only if the Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning field in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session is User Specified. For more information, refer to Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning.

Delete Current Pegging Relations

If this check box is selected, LN deletes all pegging relations for all scenarios before the updated pegging relations are generated.

If you execute a full order simulation run for all plan items, you can better select this check box, because that gives you a better system performance. However, if you generate planned orders for a limited selection of plan items, or if you want to retain the pegging relations for other scenarios, you must clear this check box.

Automatic Order Grouping

If this check box is selected, LN rebuilds the automatic-update order groups.

Update Resource Masterplan

If this check box is selected, LN updates the resource master plan for the resources involved in the planned production orders that Enterprise Planning generates.

Exception Messages

Print

If this check box is selected, LN prints an overview of the generated exception messages in a report. You can also send the report to the display browser for a quick overview of the planning problems.

LN also stores the exception messages in the database. The exception messages in the report are less detailed than the exception messages that are stored in the database. Use the following sessions to see these details:

• Exception Messages by Planner (cprao1120m000)
• Exception Messages (cprao1125m000)
• Exception Messages by Resource (cprao1130m000)

Save

If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning updates the exception messages in the Exception Messages (cprao1125m000) session for the range of planners that you specified in the Planner From and the Planner To field.

Planner

The employee to whom LN assigns all generated exception messages.

If this field is empty, LN sends the item-related exception messages to the planner that is linked to the item in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. If no planner is linked to the item, LN stores the item-related exception messages without mentioning a planner. LN also stores non-item-related exception messages without mentioning a planner.

Planning Signals to Planner

The name of the planner.

Statistics and Loop detection

Run Statistics

If this check box is selected, LN saves the following statistical data:

• Run number
• Scenario
• Start date and time of the run
• Duration of the run
• Number of items processed
• Number of orders generated
• Number of signals generated

Note: Only visible when the Statistics check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) is selected.

Item Statistics

• Phase number
• Duration of the calculation
• Additional number of orders
• Total number of orders

Note: Only visible when the Statistics check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) is selected.

Stop on Loop

If this check box is selected, the calculation run stops if a loop is detected in the bill of material is detected. An error message is generated.

Note: Only visible when the Statistics and Detect Loop if check boxes in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) are selected.

Stop on Failure Message

If this check box is selected, the planning calculation run is stopped if corrupted data is detected and an error message displayed.

Note: Only visible when the Statistics check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) is selected.

Flag Item when run time higher then

Specify the run time that must be exceeded for the item to be flagged in the report.

Note: Only visible when the Statistics and Detect Loop if check boxes in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) are selected.
