| # The parameter procedure The aim of this procedure is to set the LN application parameters based on the implementation decisions you make using the DEM-Tool. To set the parameters: Import them with their current values into the combination of a project model, version, and company in which they must be implemented. Adjust the values for the project model, version, and company; set the parameter values in one of the following three ways: By evaluating the parameter-setting rules By carrying out the wizards Manually The new parameter values must be exported to the LN applications to bring them in conformity with the implementation decisions. The parameter procedure in a project model Società per Modello di progetto (tgbrg4110m000) To link one or more companies to a project model, use the Visualizzazioni, Riferimenti o Azioni Società per Modello di progetto (tgbrg4110m000) session. To start this session, on the menu in the Modelli di progetto (tgbrg4500m000) session, click Società per Modello di progetto.... A company is a separate part of a database that contains data such as the following: Item codes and descriptions Order policy and order system for items Customer and supplier data Order procedures To link a company to a project model, complete the following steps: In the Società field, select the company you want to link to the project model. Click Salva Nota If the parameters are set by the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler, the link can only be established for companies that were linked to the selected project model. You cannot run the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110s000) session, unless you have linked at least one company to the project model. Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) To import parameters individually from the master data, and maintain their values for a combination of a company and a project model, use the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000).To start this session: On the Visualizzazioni, Riferimenti o Azioni menu of the Modelli di progetto (tgbrg4500m000) session, click Impostazione parametri per Modello.... When you start this session, the parameters, if available, are shown for the project model you have selected in the Modelli di progetto (tgbrg4500m000) session. To change the parameter values of the LN applications according to the implementation decisions made using the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler, complete the following steps: The current parameters and parameter values in the LN applications must be imported for each company into this session, with function as a temporary buffer. The values must be adjusted to the specified project model, version, and company, which are mainly done based on the rules that were defined. The new values must be exported to the LN applications. To manually import parameters, complete the following steps: In the Campo parametro field, select a parameter you want to use in the project model. In the Valore field, select the value the parameter must have in the project model. Click the Salva

Inizializzazione parametri (tcmcs0295m000) To set the default values of the parameters in the LN applications, use the Inizializzazione parametri (tcmcs0295m000) session. To start this session, on the Visualizzazioni, Riferimenti o Azioni menu of the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, click Inizializza parametri.... Before the parameters and their current values in the application are entered in the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, which functions as a temporary buffer, use the Inizializzazione parametri (tcmcs0295m000) session to ensure the parameters in the applications have a value. When you carry out this session, the default implementation values are assigned to the parameters. You can only set the parameter values for the active current company. Therefore, you must ensure the active company is the company for which the parameter values must be initialized. If a new company is created, the final step must always be the initialization of parameters. Therefore, this step is only needed for newly created companies, and not for companies that already exist. Fig 11.28 shows the different steps in the parameter updating procedure. Updating the parameter values
1 | Initialize parameters | Set default parameter values by company
2 | Read parameters | Read parameters and parameter values to buffer session
3a | Evaluate parameters setting rules | Update parameter values automatically based rules
3b | (Not shown) | Update parameter values manually
4 | Print differences | Print old and new parameter values
5 | Write parameters | Write new parameter values to the application by company
Importazione parametri nel modello aziendale (tgbrg9210m000) To import a range of parameters from the master data into the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, use the Importazione parametri nel modello aziendale (tgbrg9210m000) session. To start this session: On the Visualizzazioni, Riferimenti o Azioni menu of the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, click Leggi valori parametri... Now the parameters do not have to be imported individually. To import a range of parameters into a project model, complete these steps: In the Campo parametro field, select the range of parameters you want to import into the project model. Click Importa Nota For parameters you imported into a project model using this session, the value of the Imposta per field in the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session is set to Database. If you select the Sovrascrivi check box, the parameter values already present in the project model are replaced by the parameter values you import. Valutazione regole di impostaz. parametri (Mod. di progetto) (tgbrg4230m000) To evaluate the parameter setting rules for the combination of the project model and version you are currently working in, use the Valutazione regole di impostaz. parametri (Mod. di progetto) (tgbrg4230m000) session. To start this session: On the Visualizzazioni, Riferimenti o Azioni menu of the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, click Valuta regole impostazione parametri... If no parameter values have been entered in the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session, either manually or by import, you can enter the values by executing the parameter setting rules defined in the repository. Subsequently, the parameter values that apply to the project model are entered in the Valori per Parametro, Società e Modello (tgbrg9110m000) session. To evaluate the parameter setting rules, complete these steps: In the Fase di ottimizzazione field, select an optimization phase. If you do not select an optimization phase, the parameters are set for all the optimization phases in the project model.

Test | Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, a test run is performed; therefore, the results are printed, instead of an actual update of the parameter values.
Elimina modello esistente | Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the parameters already present in the project model, which do not meet the conditions of the parameter setting rules, are removed from the project model.
Sovrascrivi | Se la casella di controllo è selezionata,, the parameters already present in the project model that meet the conditions of the parameter setting rules, get the value derived from the parameter setting rule. Therefore, if the current parameter value is different from the value derived from the setting rule, the latter value is applied.
Nota To set the values for the parameters incorporated in the parameter setting rules, do not carry out the Importazione parametri nel modello aziendale (tgbrg9210m000) session.
