Time-phased location capacity

An enhancement to supply planning for maintaining warehouse capacity, that is maximum total stock (location). This enhancement supports defining time-phased capacity constraints on a warehouse. Thetime-phased capacity is sent as a constraint to the Supply Chain Optimization engine (SCO).

The standard worksheet Locations Calendar is added to maintain the maximum total stock by period. This is added to the Product Location information maintenance multi-panel.

This measure is added to hold the capacity by period:
  • Max Total Stock (Location) (SPLS_STOCK_MAX_SU_BUCKET)
This interface service is added to export the constraint values by period to SCO:
  • SPLS - AP -Export Location Calendar

The Supply - Solve Scenario Optimization standard supply process macro is updated to include the new interface service.

This macro is updated to copy forward any manual adjustments to the Max Total Stock (Location) measure from the previous cycle period:
  • Supply - Import Scenario

This feature is enabled after appending the supply planning template (spls.zip) for this version. No additional role or privilege is required to access this feature. This feature is accessible to those users with access to the existing multi-panel worksheet.
