  Order Fixing

Use

In interactive planning, you can fix and unfix orders. Fixing an order means that the order cannot be changed or deleted in the next Supply Network Planning run (heuristic or optimization) or during capacity leveling (depending on the capacity leveling parameter settings).

Activities

To fix or unfix orders, you can choose one of the following options:

  1. You set or delete the fixing indicator in the detail view (see the Detail View section in the interactive planning desktop ).

  2. You select a row (key figure) and a column (period) in the table (using the shift and control key), position the cursor over the corresponding key figure, use the right-hand mouse button, and choose: Start of the navigation path Selected Area (Orders) Next navigation step Fix/Unfix Orders End of the navigation path .

    You can also fix or unfix orders in a range of periods. To do this, next to the row, select the start and end period of the range in which you want to fix or unfix the orders and then choose the menu path mentioned above. All existing orders within this range will be fixed or unfixed. However, it is possible for you to create additional orders within this range.

    You can also fix or unfix the orders for several location products and periods at the same time.To do this, you use the drilldown function ( Start of the navigation path Details Next navigation step ( all)) End of the navigation path to display the key figure data for several location products, you then select the location products (using the Shift and Control key or by choosing the left-hand column) and choose the menu path mentioned above.To see the context menu, the cursor has to be positioned over the left column (key figure) and a valid location product row (not a totals row).You can select specific periods or a range of periods.If you do not select any periods, then all the periods are either fixed or unfixed.

    You can also select and fix an entire range (as described above) in the capacity view by choosing with quick info Display dependent objects and then choosingPPM .

  3. Manually created orders are normally fixed automatically. You can, however, change this setting by setting the No Fixing indicator (on the SNP2tab page) in thelocation product master data.
