| # Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) Use this session to carry out an order-planning run to generate orders of the following order types: Planned production orders Planned purchase orders Planned distribution orders LN only generates orders that fall within the order horizon. Note LN does not create planned purchase orders for the items, for which you select the Purchase Schedule in Use check box in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. Instead, LN updates the corresponding purchase schedule in the Procurement. The Planned Finish Date of the planned purchase orders cannot be calculated for the items, for which you define Fixed Delivery Type in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session and purchase lead time or the Safety Time in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. A customized item can have module demand. In this case, a Project Control with a Fixed Plan Quantity is linked to the item in the Module Planning (tipcs4120m000) session.

Plan Level The level within a hierarchical planning structure. When you plan on a higher plan level, plans are general and less detailed. Example Plan level 1 is the highest plan level; the higher the number, the lower the plan level. Selection Range From 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. Order Phase Number The first of the range of phase numbers that you want to use as a selection criterion. Enterprise Planning only creates planned orders for plan items with an order phase number in the specified range. Related topics Planning sequence and phase numbers Planner The employee or department responsible for planning the production, purchase and distribution of items. The planner takes into account the inventory levels, availability of materials, and capacities of resources, and reacts on signals such as rescheduling messages that LN generates. Use Vendor Selection Use Vendor Selection If this check box is selected, you can specify a range of suppliers. LN limits the simulation to items and item groups supplied by one of the suppliers in the selection range. LN retrieves the items and item groups that are linked to the selected suppliers from the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. LN only takes into account the item/supplier relations that are valid in the planning horizon. The validity of an item/supplier relation is determined by its effective date and end date. These dates must fall in the planning horizon. Note To plan all items that directly or indirectly use components from particular suppliers, also select the Use Bottom-Up Item Selection check box. Buy-from Business Partner Specify the first of the range of buy-from business partners that you want to use as a selection criterion, if you selected the Use Vendor Selection check box. Use Planning Group Selection If this check box is selected, orders are only generated for the selected planning groups. Planning Group Select the range of planning groups for which orders will be generated. Options Generate Within Time Fence Use this check box to determine whether or not Enterprise Planning generates planned orders within the time fence. Dependent on the previously mentioned check boxes, three possible situations exist: If 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. If 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 generates planned orders outside the time fence. If 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 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, LN sets the net-change dates of all selected plan items 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 If the Generate Within Time Fence check box is selected, you cannot select the current check box. Related topics Net-change date before time fence Net-change simulations Confirm within Time Fence If this check box is selected, for all planned orders of which the planned finish dates fall in the time fence, the order status is set to Confirmed. 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, LN erases all previously generated planned orders with the order status set to Firm Planned, before it starts a new simulation procedure. Note LN always removes all previously generated planned orders with the Planned order status before it starts a new simulation. Previously generated planned orders with the Confirmed order status are retained. Related topics RRP run, basic calculation for one item Production order status Also Generate Item Master Plan If this check box is selected, LN also automatically performs a master plan simulation for every item within the selection that has an item master plan. Selecting this check box has a negative impact on the system performance. It is recommended to use the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session for simulating large numbers of items. Online Update Item Master Plan If this check box is selected, LN updates the item master plan of all simulated items online. You are recommended to only select the current check box if you simulate small selections, because of performance. If you want to simulate a large number of items, you are recommended to clear the current check box. After simulation, you can simulate a master plan in the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session if the Update Goods Flow check box is selected. Update Resource Master plan If this check box is selected, LN updates the resource master plan for the resources involved in the planned production orders that Enterprise Planning generates. Run a Net Change Planning If this check box is selected, LN carries out a net-change simulation. If this check box is cleared, 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 extends the item selection and also takes into account the multi-level structure of the bill of material (BOM), supplying relationships, and the relations that exist between generic items and the possible product variants. Note If you specified the full range of items under Selection Range, this check box is cleared and cannot be changed. For the range of plan items that you specified in the From Plan Item and To Plan Item fields, or for any item that LN includes in the selected range as a result of the bottom-up item selection, LN extends the item selection with their: Parent items of the bill of material. Receiving items that you specified in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) sessions. Parent items in the generic bill of material, for the generic items included in the specified item range. Derived items; the project items for which you created a project in the Project Control (PCS) module of Manufacturing. During the bottom-up item selection, LN completely mixes the existing item structures. The selection algorithm takes in account, for example, the parent-child structure of the BOM, comes across a distribution structure that you modelled by supplying relationships, and finally ends up in the structure of standard, generic, and project items. Note The following restrictions apply: The parent items must have the specified plan level. LN does not include items that you defined in Configurator. 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 extends the item selection and also takes into account the multi-level structure of the bill of material (BOM), supplying relationships, and the relations that exist between generic items and the possible product variants. Note If you specified the full range of items under Selection Range, this check box is cleared and cannot be changed. For the range of plan items that you specified in the From Plan Item and To Plan Item fields, or for any item that LN includes in the selected range as a result of the bottom-up item selection, LN extends the item selection with their: Components in the bill of material. Supplying items that you specified in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session. Components in the generic bill of material, for the generic items included in the specified item range. Derived-from items; the generic or normal items that you use to create project items in the Project Control (PCS) module of Manufacturing, of any project items included in the specified item range. During the top-down item selection, LN completely mixes the existing item structures. The selection algorithm takes in account, for example, the parent-child structure of the BOM, comes across a distribution structure that you modelled by supplying relationships, and finally ends up in the structure of standard, generic, and project items. Note 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. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Top-down item selection. Related topics RRP run, item selection Allow Multiple Sources per Requirement If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning creates planned orders with various order types according to the sourcing strategy that you defined for the item in the Sourcing Strategy (cprpd7110m000) session. If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning creates only one type of planned orders, according to the setting of the Item Type field in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session and the settings for the item in the Date-Effective Item Data (tcibd0510m000) session. Related topics Sources of supply: production, purchase, or distribution To search sourcing strategies Sourcing strategies Parallel Processing If this check box is selected, LN distributes the calculations over multiple bshells, to improve performance. Related topics RRP run, Parallel Processing Update Pegging Relations If this check box is selected, LN also calculates the pegging relations. If this check box is cleared, LN deletes all existing pegging relations. To view the pegging relations, start the Browse Order Pegging (cprrp0740m000) session. Note You can modify 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 Delete Current Pegging Relations If this check box is selected, LN deletes all pegging relations for all scenarios before the updated pegging relations are generated. If you execute a full order simulation run for all plan items, you can better select this check box, because that gives you a better system performance. However, if you generate planned orders for a limited selection of plan items, or if you want to retain the pegging relations for other scenarios, you must clear this check box.
