Get help optimizing existing supply orders by receiving system-generated suggestions created based on requirement changes.
Feature details
Action messages with suggestions to optimize existing supply are created when the system detects existing supply orders that can be optimized due to recent requirement changes. This is critical to ensure that the planned supply matches the current requirements. For example, if a significant customer order is canceled, you will be notified that the related supply is no longer needed and, if possible, you should try to cancel it. Action messages can also suggest that you modify the date or quantity on existing supply orders in response to recent requirement changes.
A flexible setup allows you to control the action messages generated by Planning Optimization. You can apply the suggested change directly from an action message.
These enhancements add to the capabilities of Planning Optimization. Planning Optimization facilitates high performance planning without slowing down the rest of the system.
