Managing Supply and Demand
In the multiple organization environment, the Planner Workbench combines supply and demand information on all items in all organizations across the planning horizon. With Graphical Pegging, you can quickly trace component demand back to its source item or order, or you can follow supply from the end item down to the lowest level. With the Planner Workbench, you can simulate changes in the current plan, checking the possible effects (across the entire enterprise) of firming planned orders, canceling orders, changing dates, and adding new demand.
Note: The supply chain planning process does not recognize firmed planned orders in a net change simulation under the following conditions:
- the planned order was not firmed in the organization that generated the supply chain plan, and
- the planned order was firmed after last planning run
See: Overview of Net Change Replan for more information.
