| # Generate Order Planning (Item) (cprrp1220m000) Use this session to carry out an order-planning run for one plan item to generate orders of the following order types: Planned Production Order Planned Purchase Order Planned Distribution Order ERP LN only generates orders that fall within the order horizon. Related topics Order planning, an overview RRP run, an overview RRP run, item selection Simulated time period (RRP run) Lean PCS projects Scenario The identification of an overall planning solution. Each scenario represents one overall planning solution, and involves particular settings for the planning of items and resources. You can use scenarios to analyze and compare various planning options and to find the best planning solution. For example, you can vary demand forecasts or sourcing strategies. One of the scenarios is the actual scenario, which corresponds with the actual planning situation. You can only transfer planned orders and production plans from the actual scenario to the execution level of ERP LN. Related topics Scenarios in Enterprise Planning Plan Item The plan item for which Enterprise Planning must generate planned orders. Options Generate Within Time Fence Use the Generate Within Time Fence check box to determine whether or not Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence. More than the setting of the Generate Within Time Fence check box in this session, the setting of the Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is determinant for generation of planned orders within the time fence. Dependent on the previously mentioned check boxes, three possible situations exist: The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is cleared: Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence, regardless of the setting of the Generate Within Time Fence check box. The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected, and the Generate Within Time Fence check box is cleared: Enterprise Planning only generates planned orders outside the time fence. The Use Time Fence check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, and the Generate Within Time Fence check box are both selected: Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence. Note If the current check box is selected, you cannot select the Reset Net Change in Time Fence checkbox. If the current check box is selected, you can select the Confirm within Time Fence check box. Related topics Horizons and time fences Time fences in order planning and in master planning Simulated time period (RRP run) Reset Net Change in Time Fence If this check box is selected, ERP LN sets the net-change dates of the selected plan item to zero after a net-change simulation. So, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are also set to zero. Because of this, the changes that lie in the time fence are not taken into account in the next net-change RRP run. If this check box is cleared, net-change dates that lie in the time fence are not set to zero. So, the changes in the time fence can be considered in a later net-change RRP run that simulates in the time fence. Note You can not select the current check box if the Generate Within Time Fence check box is selected. Related topics Net-change date before time fence Net-change simulations Confirm within Time Fence If this check box is selected, all planned orders whose planned finish dates fall in the time fence, get the Confirmed order status. Note If the Generate Within Time Fence check box is cleared, you cannot select the current check box. Remove Firm Planned Orders If this check box is selected, ERP LN erases all previously generated planned orders with the Firm Planned order status, before it starts a new simulation procedure. Note ERP LN always removes all previously generated planned orders with Planned order status before it starts a new simulation. Previously generated planned orders with Confirmed order status are retained. Related topics RRP run, basic calculation for one item Also Generate Item Master Plan If this check box is selected, ERP LN also performs a master-plan simulation for each plan item involved that has an item master plan. Online Update Item Master Plan If this check box is selected, ERP LN also performs a master-plan simulation for each plan item involved that has an item master plan. Update Resource Masterplan If this check box is selected, ERP LN updates the resource master plan for the resources involved in the planned production orders that Enterprise Planning generates for the specified plan item. Run a Net Change Planning If this check box is selected, ERP LN carries out a net-change simulation. In this case the simulation of the item does not start before the first net-change date. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN carries out a regenerative simulation. Net-changes simulations are only used for the actual scenario. For other scenarios, Enterprise Planning always performs a full regeneration of the master plan or the order planning. Related topics Net-change simulations Simulated time period (RRP run) Use Bottom-Up Item Selection If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning generates planned orders for the parent items (multi-level) of the specified plan item. These items are the parent items in the bill of material (BOM) and the receiving items in the supplying relations structure. ERP LN also includes derived items and the items of the generic bill of material. ERP LN completely mixes the item structures, which means that of an item you select the parent item, of that parent you select the derived item, the parent, the receiving items, the generic items, and so on. Note The following restrictions apply: The parent items must have the specified plan level. ERP LN does not include items that are defined in Configurator. ERP LN does not include project items that have a Standard-To-Order (STO) structure. The bottom-up functionality only selects the related items of one single site, and stops as soon as it discovers a site change. Related topics RRP run, item selection Use Top-Down Item Selection If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning also generates planned orders for the parent items (multi-level) of the specified plan item. These items are the parent items in the bill of material (BOM) and the receiving items in the supplying relations structure. ERP LN completely mixes the item structures, which means that of an item you select the parent item, of that parent you select the derived item, the parent, the receiving items, the generic items, and so on. Enterprise Planning generates planned orders for: The components of the specified plan item (multi-level) in the item's bill of material. The supplying items for which you have defined supplying relationships in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session. ERP LN also includes the derived-from items and the generic items in the selection. Top-down also works for project items that have a standard-to-order (STO) structure. Note The following restrictions apply: The component items must have the specified plan level. The top-down functionality only selects the related items of one site, and stops as soon as it discovers a site change. Related topics RRP run, item selection Allow Multiple Sources per Requirement If this check box is selected, ERP LN can divide the quantity of a single requirement over several sources of supply, according to the valid sourcing strategy. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN always assigns the quantity of a single requirement to one particular source. However, ERP LN can still divide the quantity involved over various suppliers if the source is purchase, or supplying relationships if the source is distribution. Related topics Sources of supply: production, purchase, or distribution To search sourcing strategies Sourcing strategies Update Pegging Relations If this check box is selected, ERP LN also calculates the pegging relations. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN deletes all existing pegging relations. To view the pegging relations, start the Browse Order Pegging (cprrp0740m000) session. Note You can modfiy this check box only if the Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning field in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session is User Specified. For more information, refer to Update Pegging Relations during Order Planning. Related topics Pegging for planned orders Automatic Order Grouping If this check box is selected, ERP LN rebuilds the automatic-update order groups. Related topics Order grouping in Enterprise Planning Signals Update Signals by Item/Planner If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning updates the signals in the Planner/Item Signals (cprao1125m000) session for the specified item. Related topics Planning signals in Enterprise Planning Send Signals to Report If this check box is selected, ERP LN prints an overview of the generated signals in a report. You can also send the report to the display browser for a quick overview of the planning problems. ERP LN also stores the signals in the database. The signals in the report are less detailed than the signals that are stored in the database. Use the following sessions to see these details: Signal Overview - Planner (cprao1120m000) Planner/Item Signals (cprao1125m000) Resource - Signals (cprao1130m000) Related topics Planning signals in Enterprise Planning Order signals Planning Signals to Planner The employee to whom ERP LN assigns all generated signals. If this field is empty, ERP LN sends the item-related signals to the planner that is linked to the item in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. If no planner is linked to the item, ERP LN stores the item-related signals without mentioning a planner. ERP LN also stores non-item-related signals without mentioning a planner.
