Process

1. Scoring Method

Specify the scoring method that the system uses to determine the order score for fulfillment processing. Values are:

Blank: Use the basic scoring method.

1: Use the advanced scoring method.

Note: The system calculates the score for advanced scoring based on the formula: Score = [(Order Type Priority × Order Type Weighted Percent) + (Line Type Priority × Line Type Weighted Percent) + (Requested Date Age Priority × Requested Date Weighted Percent) + (Customer Priority × Customer Weighted Percent) + (Custom Business Function Priority × Custom Business Weighted Percent)]

2. Weight Factor for Order Type Priority Preference

Specify the percentage value that the system uses for the calculation weight of the Order Type Priority advanced preference.

When using the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies this percentage value by the value it retrieves from the Order Type Priority (42) advanced preference and includes the result when calculating the weighted score.

The system processes the value that you enter as a percentage. You must enter a value between 0 and 100, inclusive. The sum of the weighted processing options must equal 100.

3. Weight Factor for Line Type Priority Preference

Specify the percentage value that the system uses for the calculation weight of the Line Type Priority advanced preference.

When using the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies this percentage value by the value it retrieves from the Line Type Priority (43) advanced preference and includes the result when calculating the weighted score.

The system processes the value that you enter as a percentage. You must enter a value between 0 and 100, inclusive. The sum of the weighted processing options must equal 100.

4. Weight Factor for Customer Sold to Priority

Specify the percentage value that the system uses for the calculation weight of the Customer Sold to Priority.

When using the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies this percentage value by the numeric special handling code value it retrieves from the Sold to Customer priority (UDC H40|PR) and the result is included in the calculation of the weighted score.

The system processes the value that you enter as a percentage. You must enter a value between 0 and 100, inclusive. The sum of the weighted processing options must equal 100.

5. Weight Factor for Requested Date Priority Preference

Specify the percentage value that the system uses for the calculation weight of the Requested Date Priority advanced preference.

When using the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies this percentage value by the value it retrieves from the Requested Date Priority (44) advanced preference and includes the result when calculating the weighted score.

The system processes the value that you enter as a percentage. You must enter a value between 0 and 100, inclusive. Also, the sum of the weighted processing options must equal 100.

6. Weight Factor for Custom Priority

Specify the percentage value that the system uses for the calculation weight of the custom business function.

When using the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies this percentage value by the numeric value it retrieves from the Custom Priority Calculation Function, defined in the next processing option, and includes the result in the calculation of the weighted score.

The system processes the value that you enter as a percentage. You must enter a value between 0 and 100, inclusive. The sum of the weighted processing options must equal 100.

7. Custom Priority Calculation Function

Specify the business function name that the system uses for calculation of a custom priority used to determine the score of the line. The custom priority calculation function uses the predefined data structure D4277701A and returns the numeric priority through the order score parameter.

For the basic scoring method, the system uses the custom priority as a criteria for retrieving the score from the Basic Fulfillment Scoring Setup table If you leave this processing option blank, the system retrieves zero as the score value for the custom function.

For the advanced scoring method, the system multiplies the priority value that it retrieves from the custom function by the weight factor for the custom priority and includes the result in the summation of the score. If you leave this processing option blank, the system retrieves zero as the value to include in the summation of the score.

8. Override Advanced Preference Schedule

Specify a preference schedule for the system to use instead of the default preference schedule defined in the system constants. This schedule controls the preference processing for the Order Type Priority (42), Line Type Priority (43), and Requested Date Priority (44) advanced preferences, which are used in the advanced scoring method calculation.

Note: You use the Advanced Preferences Schedule Revisions program (P4070) on the Advanced Preferences menu (G40311) to modify preference schedules.

9. Set warning when basic score is not found

When using the basic scoring method, specify whether the system sets a warning when the system does not find a basic score. The system uses zero as the default value for the score on the order line.

If a high score indicates a more important priority, you do not have to set up basic scoring data for the lowest priority order lines.

If a low score indicates a more important priority, zero could be a valid score for the order detail lines. Use this processing option for the system to issue a warning when a score for the order line cannot be found. This setting prevents you from attaching the most important priority score to lines inadvertently.

Values are:

Blank: Do not set warning.

1: Set warning.
