MSC: Consume Forecast Inside Demand Time Fence

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_CONSUME_FORECAST_DTFDescription Valid values are:

• No - demand time fence control is implemented prior to forecast consumption. Forecast entries in the demand time fence are dropped as demand statements and not used for consumption.

• Yes - forecast consumption occurs prior to enforcing demandtime fence control. The forecast entries within the demand time fence are used for consumption but not as demand. After consumption, demand quantity for all the forecast entries within the demand time fence is zero.

If you are using forecast spreading:

• For a periodic forecast entry that falls in weekly planning buckets within the demand time fence, the forecast spreading process spreads the entries into daily entries.

• If the daily entry is within the demand time fence, the processignores the value that you set and uses the value Yes in processing.

• If the daily entry is outside the demand time fence, the process ignores this profile option and consumes against theentry.

MSC: Firm Internal Requisition Time Fence

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_FIRM_PURCH_REQ_TFDescription This profile option creates a natural time fence for an item if a firm internal

requisition exists. The natural time fence is the date of the latest firm internal requisition. Valid values are:

• Yes: Use this to create a natural time fence for a firm internalrequisition.

• No: Use this if you do not want to create a natural time fence for a firm internal requisition.

MSC: Firm Intransit and PO in Receiving Supplies

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_FIRM_INTRANSIT_PO_IN_RECEIVINGDescription This profile option applies to unconstrained plans only and instructs the

planning engine whether it should consider intransit and purchase order in receiving supplies as firm or it should issue reschedule recommendations for them. Valid values are:

• Yes - the planning engine considers intransit and purchase order in receiving supplies as firm.

• No - the planning engine generates reschedule recommendations for these types of supplies. Use this setting if you expedite shipments that are en route from a supplier to a receiving organization or if you want to expeditethe movement of materials in receiving to the shop floor. For example, you might offload a package from a ship at a port and then fly the package to the receiving organization.

These recommendations are informational only and cannot be released from the Planner Workbench.

This is a user level profile option.Note Reference(s)





MSC: Ignore PTF during CTP

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_CTP_IGNORE_PTFDescription Valid values are:

* Yes - set the Planning Time Fence to sysdate. So Planning Time Fence is not considered while doing ATP. * No

Default Value - NoIntroduced to help customers who are running UNconstrained plan and usingATP based on Planning output.

For GOP, for make order, the start date will respect Planning Time Fence . For transfer order, the ship date will respect Planning Time Fence. For buy order, the dock date will respect Planning Time Fence.This it is consistent with the constrained plan, and it is by design.However, for an unconstrained plan, due date will respect Planning Time Fence.So if GOP is done on a unconstrained plan, this could lead to confusion.

Available in 11.5.10 - Front port bug 6241549 on top of VCP 12.1.3.8 was done Jan 2014 via Patch18150049 but requires DEV Approval to apply.

MSC: MPS Auto-Firm Planned Orders

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_MPS_AUTO_FIRM_PODescription This profile option specifies how the planning engine deals with master

production schedule firm planned orders. You can use this profile option to specify whether or not the planning engine should treat all planned orders in the master production schedule as firm:

Valid values are:• Yes - When running batch replan using an MPS plan, all

planned orders are treated as firm without regard to planningtime fence

• No - When running batch replan, only planned orders inside the PTF are firm.

If an MPS is a demand schedule for another plan, this has no impact as planned orders from the MPSare always treated as firm.

This profile option applies only to master production schedule plans. You canset it at the site and user levels.

MSC: PS Adjust Post Horizon Demand Qty

Profile Code MSCProfile Option Name MSC_SCP_PS_ADJUST_POST_HORIZON_DEM_QTYDescription MSC: PS Adjust Post Horizon Demand Qty

This profile allows PS solver to "net-out" demands that are not fulfilled until after the end of the scheduling horizon.

When profile "MSC: PS Adjust Post Horizon Demand Qty" to yes,

then PS uses the Work Orders that are on end of horizon to meet demand.

MSO: Create Aggregate Supply for Unsatisfied Demands within Planning Time Fence

Profile Code MSOProfile Option Name MSO_AGG_SUP_FOR_DMD_IN_PTFDescription Introduced in ASCP Engine/UI rollup #33 for

11.5.10Front ported to R12 in CU5 patch 7270650Fixed in VCP Cum patch 12.1.3.1 and above

The Memory Based Planner (MBP) used to create supplies for unsatisfied demands inside PTF on respective dates after considering the FDS. Later on those supplies were moved to PTF date, resulting in more than one supply on PTF date. This would be wrong for some set up. So, we madethe code changes to create single supply for unsatisfied demands in PTF.

This is now controlled by this profile.

• Yes, then one supply is created for unsatisfied demands on the PTF date if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• Plan is not constrained with Decision Rules

• Plan is not optimized.

• No, more than one supply may be created for unsatisfied demands on the PTF date. (Default if NULL)

Available in 12.1.3.1 and upwards

MSO: Firm Requisitions Within Time Fence

Profile Code MSOProfile Option Name MSO_FIRM_REQ_WITHIN_PTFDescription Indicates whether or not the planning engine should firm those requisitions

that are within the time fence. The valid values are:• Yes: Firms requisitions that are within the time fence.

• No: The planning engine does not reschedule the non-firm purchase requisitions that have dock dates within the Planning Time Fence.

The planning engine does not reschedule or cancel recommendations even ifthere are conditions for reschedules and cancellations.The planning engine uses the start date of the receiving organization as the reference for internal requisitions. Default : No

MSO: Firm Supply Allocation Window (Backward days)

Profile Code MSOProfile Option Name MSO_FIRM_SUPPLY_ALLOC_WINDescription The allocation of firm supplies to demands is based on demand priorities

within the Firm Supply Allocation window. Set this window using system level profile options. This window is derived dynamically for each demand; it starts with the demand due date and goes backwards to the window size. This is stated as the number of calendar days including non-workdays.

MSO: Generate Compression Days Exception

Profile Code MSOProfile Option Name MSO_GENERATE_COMPRESSION_EXCEPTIONDescription Use this profile option to control issuance of exception message Orders with

compression days. Valid values are:

• Yes - Issue the exception message • No - Do not issue the exception message

The planning engine issues exception message Orders with insufficient lead-time when it schedules orders for less time than their assembly's lead-time. If the reason for that scheduling is that the planning engine would schedule the order in the past, it also issues exception message Orders with compression days.

To avoid seeing both these exceptions for the same order, select No for this profile option.

Note Reference(s)




MSO: Lead Time Control

Profile Code MSOProfile Option Name MSO_LEAD_TIME_CONTROLDescription Violate Minimum Processing Times to Meet

Demand Due Date: The planning engine meets the demand due date even if it compresses operations and supplies beyond their minimum durations (from item lead-times and routing usages). -- This setting can violate the Planning Time Fence settings for an item. -- It can also violate a Natural Time Fence created by using profile MRP: Create Time Fence = Yes

Do Not Violate Minimum Processing Times: Theplanning engine respects the minimum durations ofoperations and supplies (from item lead-times and routing usages) even if it satisfies demands late.

Default Value: Violate minimum Processing Times to Meet Demand Due Date

This, sometimes, used with plan option - Enforce Purchasing Lead-times Constraint and can change planning engine behavior.

In 11.5.10, this profile is only for EDD - Enforce Demand Due Dates plan

In 12.0.4 and above, this profile works for BOTH EDD and ECC - Enforce Capacity Constraints plans.
