| # Item Supplier Plan-Find (cpvmi0530m000) Use this session to display an item-business-partner plan You can use this session to see how the planned inventory of an item that is supplied and planned by a particular supplier develops over time. This session acts more or less like the Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000) session with a filter that only displays the transactions related to the selected supplier. If you start this session, LN first starts the Item Business Partner Plan (Customer VMI Role) - Selection (cpvmi0531s000) session, in which you select the some parameters for this session. This session can display three types of item-business-partner plan, depending on the value of the VMI requirement type that you select when you start this session. The VMI requirement type can have the following values: Actual and Planned Demand The item-business-partner plan is based upon the actual demand data and planned demand data that you generated in the order-planning process. Calculated Business Partner Forecast The item-business-partner plan is based upon the demand data from the forecast that you have calculated in the most recent order-planning run. (This calculated forecast may or may not yet have been sent to your supplier). Sent Business Partner Forecast The item-business-partner plan is based upon the demand data from the most recent revision of the forecast sent to your supplier. (After LN calculates the forecast, you can modify the forecast before you send the forecast to your customer). Related topics Supply planning by supplier To let your supplier perform the supply planning - Setup Settings 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 LN. Plan Item An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: Master-based planning, which is similar to master production scheduling techniques. Order-based planning, which is similar to material-requirements planning techniques. A combination of master-based planning and order-based planning. Plan items can be one of the following: An actual manufactured or purchased item. A product family. A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a generic item. A group of similar plan items or families is called a product family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for distribution planning. Buy-from Business Partner The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Requirement Type The type and origin of the requirements on which LN can base an item supplier plan or an item customer plan in a vendor-managed-inventory situation. Depending on the requirement type, LN uses different demand data to calculate how much of an the item is planned to be available in each period. The VMI requirement type can have the following values: Calculated Business Partner Forecast Sent Business Partner Forecast Received Business Partner Forecast Calculated Confirmed Supply Sent Confirmed Supply Actual and Planned Demand Planner ID The planner that is responsible for planning this plan item. Actual Stock The current inventory of the plan item. If the information about the actual stock is only available at the supplier that handles the supply planning for the plan item, this field displays the confirmed stock. Confirmed Stock The actual stock of a plan item in a VMI warehouse, as reported by the supplier to the customer. In a vendor-managed-inventory situation, where the supplier is responsible for the supply planning of an item in a warehouse at the customer's site, the supplier keeps track of the inventory levels. In that case, the supplier informs the customer of the actual stock. Confirmed Stock The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Delivery Moment The pattern code that determines the delivery moments on which you supplier agreed to deliver the items. For example, you can specify that the goods must always be delivered on Wednesdays at 8:00 AM. Note This field displays the value of the Delivery Moments field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. That field can be left empty. If this field is empty, your supplier is free to choose any moment to deliver the requested goods. If this field displays a pattern code, LN can shift the date of delivery backwards to match one of the agreed delivery moments in the delivery pattern. Related topics Fixed deliveries in Enterprise Planning Date The date and time on which the items are supposed to be received in or issued from the warehouse. The calculation of the date depends on the type of record: If this record describes a confirmed supply, this date is the receipt date of the confirmed supply. If this line describes a supply that is recorded in the planned inventory transactions, this date is planned receipt date of the transaction. If this line describes a demand and the VMI requirement type is Actual and Planned Demand, this date is the planned delivery date of the transaction. If this line describes a demand and the VMI requirement type is Calculated Business Partner Forecast or Sent Business Partner Forecast, this date is the requirement date of the forecast. The requirement date of the forecast is the start date of the aggregation period. Total Demand The sum of the confirmed part and the unconfirmed part of the demand. Note The basis on which LN calculates this field depends on the VMI requirement type for which you opened this item-business-partner plan. Confirmed Forecast The confirmed part of the demand. Note The basis on which LN calculates this field depends on the VMI requirement type for which you opened this item-business-partner plan. Unconfirmed Forecast The unconfirmed part of the demand. Scheduled Receipts The quantity of items that you expect to receive from your VMI supplier. These scheduled receipts based on the following information: The confirmed supply that your supplier promised to send. The planned inventory transactions based on warehousing orders with inventory transaction type Transfer or purchase orders which are based on messages that contain your supplier's replenishment plan. Note LN retrieves the scheduled receipt data from the Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session. Confirmed Supply/Expected Supply The quantity of item the supplier has confirmed or is expected to be delivered to the customer on the planned delivery date. Planned Available (Total) The expected inventory level that will be reached after this demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming that not only the confirmed forecast but also the unconfirmed forecast will lead to actual issues from the warehouse. Related topics Confirmed forecast and unconfirmed forecast Planned Available (Confirmed) The expected inventory level that will be reached after this demand or supply and all preceding changes will have been realized, assuming that only the confirmed forecast will lead to actual issues from the warehouse. Related topics Confirmed forecast and unconfirmed forecast ATP The item quantity that is still available to be promised to a customer. In LN, available-to-promise (ATP) is part of a more extended framework of order promising techniques called capable-to-promise (CTP). If an item's ATP is insufficient, CTP goes beyond ATP in that it also considers the possibility of producing more than was initially planned. In addition to the standard ATP functionality, LN also uses channel ATP. This term refers to the availability of an item for a certain sales channel, taking into account the sales limits for that channel. For all other types of order promising functionality used in LN, the term CTP is used. Acronym: If the VMI requirement type is Actual and Planned Demand, LN calculates the ATP based on the confirmed actual demand and the planned demand. If the VMI requirement type is Calculated Business Partner Forecast or Sent Business Partner Forecast, LN calculates the ATP based on the confirmed demand and the confirmed actual demand and the planned demand. Minimum Inventory The minimum inventory level that must be maintained. If a minimum level was specified in the applicable terms and conditions agreement, that level must be maintained. Otherwise, the safety stock is applied as usual. Related topics To work with minimum and maximum inventory Maximum Inventory The maximum inventory level permitted. If a maximum level was specified in the applicable terms and conditions agreement, that level must not be exceeded. Otherwise, no maximum is applied.
