Additional Planning Setup Options
Reorder Cycle has been split into multiple fields making it
possible to have different values for:
1.
Lot Accumulation Period: Demands that are due within the reorder
cycle are grouped together to make a joint supply order, used by LF-L.
2.
Rescheduling Period: Used to determine if the action message
should reschedule an existing order or cancel it and create a new
order, used by L-F-L.
3.
Dampener Period: Currently, the dampener period applies to an item
and can never be higher than the value in the item's Reorder Cycle
field
4.
Time Bucket: Period used by the reorder point.
Additional Planning Setup Options

Lot Accumulation Period
Rescheduling Period

Dampener Period
Time Bucket
Example 1:
The changed date is outside the rescheduling period, causing
the existing supply to be canceled and a new supply is
suggested, which covers all demands within the lot
accumulation period.
Example 2:
The changed date is within the rescheduling period, causing the
existing supply to be rescheduled. A new supply is suggested to
cover the demand outside the lot accumulation period.
Example 3:
There is a demand within the dampener period, and the supply
quantity in the lot accumulation period matches the supply
quantity. The next demand is uncovered, and a new supply is
suggested.
Example 4:
There is a demand within the dampener period, so the supply
remains on the same date. However, the current supply quantity
is not enough to cover the demand in the lot accumulation
period, so a Change Qty. of the existing supply order is
suggested.
Additional Planning Setup
 Added Dampener Quantity
field
 Added Overflow Level fields
to the item and SKU card
 Bug fix: Reorder point is
now triggered when
inventory level is =<
used to be only <
‒ This was done to align with
APICS and to fix issue when
safety stock and reorder point
had the same value.
Additional Planning Setup
In the global setup, you can choose to either use the default calculation for
items without values in the Overflow Level field of the item/SKU card, or to
only use the manually entered values (meaning that 0 or blank on item/SKU
card = don’t use overflow level)
