Set all 'move orders/forecast to backorders' in SCO

The backorders process is enhanced in Supply Chain Optimization (SCO) adding variables to optionally set the 'move orders/forecast to backorders' property for all resources.

These variables are added:

  • solver_allow_forecast_to_backorders (Solver Allow Forecast To Backorders). Default: -1
  • solver_allow_orders_to_backorders (Solver Allow Orders To Backorders). Default: -1.

Set the value to 0 or 1 to set the corresponding property in Customer Allocations to 0 or 1 for all resources in the class. Set the value to -1 when importing resource specific values.

These workflows are updated in the SP_SCO engine definition to refer the variable as described above:

  • 150: Set Variables for Solver
  • 190: Init Solver
Note: This feature is available after loading the SCO template (apsco.zip) for this version. The related variables are only accessible to new plans created from the standard SP_SCO engine definition after the content update. A new role or privilege is not required to access this feature.
