The following describes how to simulate the re-planning based on a purchase order and print the result on a control list. This list can then be checked whereby you can decide if you want to run the re-planning in update mode.
Not included
Credit orders and BtB orders (transit and direct) are not included in the re-planning routine. Items included on any order lines that are not under time axis control will never be included in the re-planning function.
- Select the Re-plan sales orders menu item.
- On the Sales order re-planning selection panel, make your selections and click OK.
- You access the second Sales order re-planning selection panel. Information can be entered in the following fields:
- All back order lines
- If you set this field to YES you can include all back order lines, even if an order selection has been made. This flag cannot be set to YES when the Only backlogged lines flag is set to YES.
- Only backlogged lines
- When set to YES, the system will only re-plan SO lines that are flagged as backordered. This flag cannot be set the YES when the All back order lines flag is set to YES.
- Only in stock
- When set to YES, re-planning shall take place only based on quantity in stock, i.e. the re-planning will not consider any quantities from non received purchase orders.
- Update
- Set this field to NO. This, as the name implies, will prevent your orders from being updated and will activate the simulation.
- Print control list
- Set this field to YES.
- Only changed lines
- Set this field to NO.
- Production company
- This field is only displayed if Manufacturing is installed and activated. Indicate if manufacturing orders should be considered within the open query processing for sales order re-planning. This field is set to NO by default.
- Reconfirmation days
- This field is used for printing the order confirmations of the orders that have been re-planned. Enter the number of days.
- For example: To print an order confirmation for all orders that have been re-planned, enter 1 as the number of days. All orders that have been delayed by more than 1 day will be confirmed.
- To print an order confirmation for orders that have been delayed for a specific number of days, i.e. 5, enter 5 as the number of days. All orders delayed for that specific amount of time will be confirmed.
Click OK or F2 to run the re-planning interactively if Interactive process has been set to YES in Work with system user profiles for your profile.
Calculation
The system simulates a re-building of the Time axis, whereby the dispatch dates for all purchase order lines and sales order lines, included in the selection, are checked. If any of the items for the sales order have arrived or will arrive before the dispatch date of the sales order to the customer, the new dispatch date will be calculated. This calculation will be done for those sales orders that can be delivered due to an early reception date and valid quantity of the purchased items provided it is not before the requested dispatch date on the sales order line.
Move to later dispatch date
Sales order lines can also be moved to a later dispatch date if you have reconfirmed a purchase order to arrive later than expected. Note: Order structures with critical components and orders defined for complete delivery are not handled when the re-planning is executed in simulation mode. See Re-plan in update mode.
Printout
The system prints a list of all sales order lines included in the selection. Both old and new dispatch dates are printed.
