Scheduling
is a concept, which helps to place the demand in the inventory based on the availability.
Scheduling
helps with the following:
•
Find
the availability of the item
•
Populate
the Schedule Ship Date, Arrival Date and the Last Acceptable Date based on the
calculate ATP date
•
Performs
the reservation based on Scheduled Ship Date
•
Calculates
the delivery lead time based on ship method
•
Prevents
over demand by setting the items attribute Check ATP.
Scheduling is a communications tool that helps balance customer
demands with your ability to fulfill that demand.
Key
Features:
Scheduling
in Order Management includes the ability to:
•
Schedule at multiple points - either
manually or automatically as the line is entered, when the order is booked, or
later using a background process.
•
Determine the best warehouse for an
order line using sourcing rules. This includes using ATO models.
•
Define by customer whether the
request date is the requested ship date or requested arrival date.
•
Automatically set the scheduled ship
and arrival dates based on the calculated ATP date.
•
Define a shipping network and
determine the number of days required for delivery based on the transit time.
•
Automatically reserve on-hand
inventory to order lines.
•
Control, based on order transaction
type, the level of scheduling which should occur.
•
View availability for multiple
warehouses at one time.
•
Group lines into arrival sets which
may be shipped from different warehouses on different days but should arrive at
the customer site on the same day, or group lines into ship sets which ship on
the same day from the same location.
•
Reserve scheduled lines from multiple
orders using the Reserve Orders concurrent program. Optionally, you can use
reservations strategies such as Fair Share, Percentage, and Partial. You can
choose whether to simulate or commit the reservations. An API Hook is provided
for those who want to write an API to tailor reservation logic for
business-specific processes. Reserve Orders can be run either from the
concurrent request menu or from Scheduling across Orders.
•
Override Available to Promise (ATP).
This feature allows authorized users to override ATP schedule date from the
sales order window as needed for exceptions.
•
Perform scheduling actions on
multiple lines across orders.
•
Scheduling can be updated based on
the latest planning output for planned items.
•
Configured items can be matched at
scheduling for planned items.
•
Flexible scheduling parameters allow
users to control the use of Promise Date, the impact of Request Date and
Shipping Method on Schedule Date, the behavior of the LAD with manual
scheduling, and whether to allow partial reservations for manual reservations
and the reservation time fence.
•
ATP/Scheduling uses Transportation
calendars like Shipping Calendar, In-transit (Carrier) Calendar, and Receiving
Calendar to calculate the ship/arrival dates
•
The ATP window displays the
scheduling results for all recent (related to the current order) scheduling
actions- successes as well as failures. Check
the blog post on Available to Promise (ATP)
