Item Summary for Other Branch/Plants

If an item is defined in multiple branch/plants, you can view the item summary information for other branch/plants from the Planning Console program. You access the Items Other Branches Summary form by selecting the Other Branches option on the Form menu of the Planning Console form.

The Items Other Branches Summary form contains the following features:

• Parent Item group

  This is a read-only section in a collapsible group.

• Item summary grid

• Item Balance Chart group

  You can view the item summary information for a branch/plant in the item summary grid. Click the Item Number link in the item summary grid to access the Planning Console for the item for the branch/plant displayed in the corresponding grid row.

  The Item Balance Chart group contains the Ending Available chart that enables you to view ending available information in graphical chart format for the selected branch/plant grid row. The system displays the primary UOM on the y-axis for the selected branch/plant.

  For the selected item/branch, the Ending Available chart in the Item Balance Chart group is the same Ending Available chart that displays on the Planning Console form.

  You use the Adjusted and Unadjusted options in the Item Balance Chart group to include or exclude messages in the Ending Available chart.

  The Unadjusted view does not include the net change in demand. The Adjusted view includes the net change in demand.

  The Item Balance Chart displays the freeze fence date and planning fence date for the branch/plant in the selected grid row.
