 Underdelivery Tolerances in Net Requirements Calculation

Use

This function enables you to select materials in make-to-order production for which no more procurement elements (for example, planned orders) will be created, and only then if the quantity that is still open or still to be delivered lies within the underdelivery tolerancefor the sales order item. The system evaluates the indicator in the net requirements calculation during the planning run and during the Capable-To-Promise (CTP) check of the global available-to-promise (ATP) check.

Integration

The system takes the underdelivery tolerance into account during the:

  • Production planning run, using a standard planning heuristic

  • CTP check of the global ATP check

Prerequisites

  • You have entered an underdelivery tolerance in the sales order item.

  • You use the make-to-order production process.

  • You have set the Underdelivery Tolerance indicator in the location-dependent data in the product master in the lot-sizing procedure.

  • You have made the relevant settings for the CTP function in the global ATP check.

  • You have set the Underdelivery Tolerance indicator in the planning heuristic, if you want to use the lot-sizing procedure settings from the planning heuristic.

  • You have set the Underdelivery Tolerance indicator in the alert profile in production planning and detailed scheduling (PP/DS).

Features

During the CTP check, the system checks if the required delivery quantity of all the schedule lines in the sales order item lies within the percentage underdelivery tolerance for all the selected materials in the individual customer segment.

  • If it does, the system does not generate any more procurement elements for this sales order item.

  • If the Underdelivery indicator is set in the lot-sizing procedure in the product master, and you have entered an underdelivery tolerance in the sales order item, you can display information about the quantity and underdelivery tolerances. To do so, choose with the quick info text Deductions in the Underdelivery Tolerance column of the product view.

  • If the delivered quantity lies outside the underdelivery tolerance quantity, the system creates a procurement element for the remaining quantity.

  • When the system creates a shortage alert for a requirement, it issues an information message if the underdelivery tolerance is not exceeded.

The system only takes quantity tolerances into account for the defined underdelivery tolerances.

Note Note

The underdelivery tolerance is specified in the base unit of measure, not the sales unit.

End of the note.

Example

A customer orders 10 tons of paper and you have defined an underdelivery tolerance of 10% in the sales order:

  • If 9.5 tons of paper are available, they are delivered to the customer. The system does not generate an additional production order.

  • If 8,9 tons of paper are available, the system creates an additional production order for 1.1 tons.
