Setting Supply Chain Control Tower Preferences
Choose settings for control tower and accounting preferences that govern ways the Supply Chain Control Tower feature functions. These settings act as defaults for all of your items, but you can specify different settings for each item.
To set Supply Chain Control Tower preferences:
-
Go to Setup > Accounting > Control Tower Preferences.
-
Enter the following preferences:
-
Default Supply Chain Past Order Horizon – Enter the number of days prior you want to be included in the snapshot. This will include past due orders dated during a range from current date back through the number of days defined here.
The default for this field is 14 days.
-
Default Supply Chain Future Order Horizon – Enter the number of days ahead you want to be included in the snapshot. This will include future orders beyond the current date in the snapshot generated for this item.
For example, when you select 30 in this field, open orders are included that are due between the current date and 30 days out.
The default for this field is 30 days.
The maximum you can enter in this field is 365 days.
-
Vendor Predicted Days Late/Early - Enter the number of days that a vendor is predicted to be late. The default for this field is 0 days. This value is used for all vendors by default, but you can set a vendor-specific value on the vendor record.
-
Vendor Predicted Risk Confidence - Enter the confidence in percent of a vendor providing ordered items. The default for this field is 100. This value is used for all vendors by default, but you can set a vendor-specific value on the vendor record.
