Committing Orders

  1. Access the worksheet for which the Report is set to Order Viewer. The list of orders is displayed.
  2. Select the required orders from the list.
  3. Select Commit > Commit Selected or Commit All from the toolbar. The Commit Order window is displayed.
    Note: 
    • The Commit Selected or Commit All option is enabled only if:
      • The user has permission to commit Orders.
      • All the selected/displayed orders are of type ‘Planned’.
      • The scenario is editable by the user or the user is part of the share.
      • At least one row is selected (only applicable when Commit Selected is used).
    • You must save the order details before committing the orders.
  4. Specify this information, wherever applicable:
    Selected Total Quantity
    Indicates the total quantity of all the selected orders to be committed.
    Adjust Dates based on Lead time
    Determines the values to be specified in the date fields and whether the lead time is used in conjunction with the populated date field to update the date fields for each order. Possible values:
    • On: Only one date field must be specified. The lead time is used to populate the date (Ship/Start date or Delivery/Receipt/End date) when orders are committed.
    • Off: The Ship/Start Date or Delivery/Receipt/End Date fields can be specified or left undefined.
    Note: 
    • It is important when adjusting dates based on lead time, that the reference field for the orders used within the commit has been populated to ensure uniqueness of orders. The business key for an order is item, location, ship/start Date and reference. Adjusting dates result in orders for the same item@location to have the same dates, the only differential can therefore be the reference.
    • If the Lead Time parameter is not defined in the engine, the lead time is considered as zero. This information is recorded in the Audit Log.
    Ship/Start Date
    If specified, the ship/start date is updated for all the orders with the specified value.
    Note: 
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to Off and the ship/start date is not populated, the ship/start date is not updated for all orders.
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to On and ship/start date is populated, the ship/start date is updated for all the orders with the specified value.
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to On and ship/start date is not populated, the ship/start date is updated for all the orders as ‘new Delivery/Receipt/End Date - Lead Time'.
    Delivery/Receipt/End Date
    If specified, the delivery/receipt/end date is updated for all the orders with the specified value.
    Note: 
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to Off and the delivery/receipt/end date is not populated, the delivery/receipt/end date is not updated for all orders.
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to On and the delivery/receipt/end date is populated, the delivery/end/receipt date is updated for all the orders with the specified value.
    • If Adjust Dates based on lead time is set to On and the delivery/end/receipt date is not populated, the delivery/end/receipt date is updated for all the orders as ‘new Ship/Start Date + Lead Time’.
  5. Click Commit. The orders are processed individually to move from the corresponding Planned Order to the related Fixed Order of the same type, after successful validation.
    Note: 
    • The measure values are updated in the editable scenario. The measure values are deleted from scenario values for the measures associated with the Planned Orders and added to scenario values for the Fixed Order measures (both the Source and Destination measures).
    • The commit reference is updated with a unique sequence number for all the orders that are modified in the commit action.
