Maximum receipts constraint on Routes In

New upper bound on receipts at a location by transportation method is now available for Supply Chain Optimization. It allows users to specify a capacity constraint on incoming (unloading) docks for each location by transport method.

In SCP 20.8 the TRANSPORTATION_DOCK entity in SCV has been introduced to model the SCO Routes Out class. In this release, the same SCV entity is used to support the SCO Routes In class, including the new maximum receipts constraint in this class.

The default Supply Chain Optimization Planning Engine definition (SP_SCO) has been extended in a previous version, and activated now with supporting configuration in SCV and Planning Engine SP SCO.

These entities are updated in SP_SCO:
  • Classes:
    • Transfers, Routes, Routes In, Locations and Money
  • Optimization "Solver"
  • Variables
  • Workflows
  • Queries

See Change_log.html, accessible from the SCO Planning Engine documentation in the standard content for additional details on the changes to SCO for this feature.

These new PE database views are added:
  • SP_V_ROUTE_IN_CALENDAR, using SM_TRANSPORTATION_DOCK_BUCKETS as source
  • SP_V_ROUTES_IN, using SC_TRANSPORTATION_DOCK as source
These new SCV application defaults are added:
  • New class property app default: APSCO_BASE_Profile_Routes In_max_receipts_tu
  • New class property app default: APSCO_BASE_Profile_Routes In_max_receipts_discrete
  • New class property app default: APSCO_BASE_Profile_Routes In_vehicle_capacity
These new SCV datasheets are added:
  • SCO - SP_V_ROUTES_IN
  • SCO - SP_V_ROUTE_IN_CALENDAR
This new interface service is added:
  • SP - SCV - SCO - Import Route In Calendar
This interface service is updated:
  • SP - SCV - SCO - Import Routes In
This macro is updated:
  • SCV - SCO Import Transactional Data
These standard plan-sheets are added:
  • SCO_Routes In Chart
  • SCO_Routes InTP
These standard plan-sheets are updated to add properties: allow excess receipts in tu, max receipts tu:
  • SCO_Routes In
  • SCO_Routes In Grid
These multi-panel plan-sheets are updated:
  • SCO_4TransportResource
  • SCO_4Transport_Plan_Review
Note:  The related content is available after loading the Base template (base.zip) and the Planning Engine SP SCO template (apsco.zip) for this release at which point the standard Planning Engine definition (SP_SCO) is updated. New instances of the Planning Engine created from this definition includes this feature. To enable the feature, define an upper bound for max receipts tu within "Routes In".
