5 Building Workbooks

This chapter describes how to build these SRP and WRP Workbooks for AIP on the RPAS Fusion client. This chapter is organized by these sections:

Navigating Workbooks

This section describes the navigation functionality of the RPAS Fusion Client workbooks including:

Opening Workbooks

After you log on to the application, a taskflow pane appears that enables you to navigate through the activities and tasks associated with your user account.


Note:

This procedure outlines the basic steps for opening existing workbooks. For detailed information about building specific SRP and WRP workbooks, see:

To open a workbook:

  1. On the taskflow pane, click the Expand (>) icon to expand access to the SRP workbooks and WRP workbooks.


  2. On the taskflow pane, click the Show List of Workbooks icon next to the task or step you want. For more information on the taskflow pane, see the section Taskflow Pane Navigation and Functionality.

    Figure 5-1 Show List of Workbooks Icons


    The Open Workbook window opens.

    Figure 5-2 Open Workbook Window

    Open Workbook Wizard
  3. Select the workbook you want, and click Open.

Deleting Workbooks

From the list of workbooks, you can delete any workbook you have write access to.

To delete a workbook:

  1. On the Open Workbook window, select the workbook you want.

    To delete more than one workbook, hold down the Ctrl key and select the workbooks you want to delete. Or, you can hold down Shift and select a group of workbooks.

  2. Click Delete. A warning message appears.

    Figure 5-3 Delete Warning Message

    Delete Warning Message
  3. Review the warning message, and then click Delete to delete the workbooks or click Cancel to cancel this operation.

Permissible File Names

When saving a workbook (or saving a copy using the Save As command), there are restrictions on the length of the file name and the characters that can be used,

  • The file name can be a maximum of 32 characters.

  • The filename can contain the following standard characters:

    • a - z

    • A - Z

    • 0 - 9

  • The filename can contain the following special characters:

    • .

    • |

    • _

    • -

    • /

    • $

    • &

    • spaces

Any file name not meeting these conditions results in an error message.

Renaming Workbooks

The new workbook wizard also enables you to rename existing workbooks without affecting the data within the workbook or the other workbook information such as the created date, modified date, formatting information and so on.

There are a few key points to know about renaming workbooks:

  • You can only rename workbooks that you have write access to.

  • Workbook names can be no more than 32 characters

  • Workbook names cannot contain double or single quotation marks.

  • Workbooks cannot be named Untitled. This name is reserved.

To rename a workbook in the new workbook wizard, perform the following steps.


Note:

You can also rename a workbook from the File menu.

  1. Select the workbook you want to rename from the list. When selected, it becomes shaded, as shown in Figure 5-4.

  2. Click Rename.

    Figure 5-4 Renaming a Workbook


  3. The Rename Workbook dialog box opens. Enter the new name of the workbook and click OK.

    Figure 5-5 Rename Workbook Dialog Box


  4. The renamed workbook appears in the workbook list.

WRP Interactive Evaluation Workbook

About the WRP Interactive Evaluation Workbook

The WRP Interactive Evaluation workbook is built using the SKU Groups and days selected. It also builds in the entire stocking point network including suppliers and stores that are ranged to the selected products and days. 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.


Note:

Unless otherwise stated, all measures are writeable for days after today unless otherwise stated. Historical values are never writeable.
