About the WRP Interactive Evaluation Workbook
The WRP Interactive Evaluation workbook is built using the SKU Groups and days selected.

This is necessary in order to perform What-if analysis for the n-tier supply chain. All stores are hidden in the workbook. Suppliers are also hidden in the destination stocking point hierarchy.
In order to utilize the What-if functionality in this workbook, you may enter different parameter variables into any writeable measures in the WRP Replenishment Summary worksheet and click Calculate on the toolbar. The newly calculated allocation boundaries (Safety Stock (SS), Receipt Point (RP) and Receive Up to Level (RUTL) values are visible. If you are pleased with the revised boundaries, the new values can be committed to the database and is used in the next batch run.
There is a Run WRP menu option that allows you to choose whether to run the plan in an Unconstrained or Constrained mode. What-if - Unconstrained performs replenishment over the planning horizon and display the newly calculated unconstrained Receipt Plan. What-if - Constrained performs both replenishment (over the planning horizon) and shortfall reconciliation (over the fixed period) and display the newly calculated constrained Receipt Plan. No Stockless or SPQ reconciliation takes place.
