Proposal parameters enquiry (REQ027C)

This panel displays the selection parameters that were used in the creation of the analysis proposal.

Proposal

Selection

Displays the range (from – to) of values that have been included in the selection. If a field is blank, all values have been included. Records are only included if they fulfil all selection criteria. The following parameters have been used in the selection:

  • Warehouse
  • Department section
  • Planner
  • Item type
  • Item group
  • Item family
  • Item sector
  • Supplier
  • Volume value code
One shortage/item
Indicates if one or more shortage records are to be created per item. If this field is set to NO, several records will be created depending on the shortage quantity and the order quantity.
Indicate overload
This field is only displayed if Manufacturing finite planning (MFP) is activated. Indicates if a workload control should be performed for critical resources. If this field is set to YES, the proposals for which overload exists within the item’s bill of routing will be marked. The workload control is only performed on open manufacturing orders and order proposals.
Horizon days
The number of additional days used to calculate the horizon date (based on the item’s planning time) for forward planning in the re-schedule analysis.
Priority items
The code(s) indicate the type of items that should be included in the priority analysis. Normally, only items defined with planning type 3 (Priority analysis) in the Item file are included in the priority analysis. However, by specifying additional planning types you can include items that are normally planned in other planning functions. Note: Both order proposals and re-schedule proposals can be created for items that are defined with planning methods 3, 4 and 5. However, for items with the defined additional planning methods only order proposals are created.

Valid codes are:

Code Description
1 Purchase suggestion
2 MRP
3 Priority analysis
4 Shortage analysis, ROP
5 Shortage analysis, min/med/max
6 Purchase suggestion, Supply plan
7 MRP, Supply plan
Shortage items
The code(s) indicate the type of items that should be included in the shortage analysis. Normally, only items defined with planning type 4 (Shortage analysis, ROP) and 5 (Shortage analysis, min/med/max) in the Item file are included in the shortage analysis. However, by specifying additional planning types you can include items that are normally planned in other planning functions. Note: Both order proposals and re-schedule proposals can be created for items that are defined with planning methods 3, 4 and 5. However, for items with the defined additional planning methods only order proposals are created.

Valid codes are:

Code Description
1 Purchase suggestion
2 MRP
3 Priority analysis
4 Shortage analysis, ROP
5 Shortage analysis, min/med/max
6 Purchase suggestion, Supply plan
7 MRP, Supply plan

Priority calc (N/D-S)

The formula for calculating the priority value in the priority analysis. The Numerator, Denominator and Subtraction are defined in separate fields, using pre-defined variables, constants and operators.

Priority alternative
The code indicates from where the forecast values should be retrieved when calculating priority value in the priority analysis.

Valid codes are:

Code Description
1 MRP order proposal
2 Year forecast from item/warehouse or if year forecast item/warehouse is missing from periodical statistics 12 months back.
3 Year forecast from item/warehouse.
4 Period forecast IC. This is only valid is IBS Inventory Control is activated.
Numerator N
The method for calculating the numerator (N) to be used in the priority value formula (N/D-S). Mandatory entry if Type of proposal is set to 1.
Subtraction S
The method for calculating the subtraction (S) to be used in the priority value formula (N/D-S). Mandatory entry if Type of proposal is set to 1.
Denominator D
The method for calculating the denominator (D) to be used in the priority value formula (N/D-S). Mandatory entry if Type of proposal is set to 1.
Total lead time (TLT)
The method for calculating the total lead time to be used to retrieve quantity on order, reservations and forecast within a specific time horizon. mandatory entry if Type of proposal is set to 1.

Predefined variables

The following predefined variables for calculating the Numerator, Denominator, Subtraction and the Total lead time (TLT) may be referenced as follows:

Order proposal

User
The code indicates the user who created the proposal.
Last update date
The date and time indicate when the proposal was created.

Re-schedule proposal

User
The code indicates the user who created the proposal.
Last update
The date and time indicate when the proposal was created.
