Generating a Supply Chain Snapshot
You can generate a Supply Chain Snapshot for Assembly or Inventory items.
To generate a Supply Chain Snapshot:
-
Go to Lists > Supply Chain > Supply Chain Snapshots > New.
-
In the Item Name/Number field, select an assembly or inventory item.
-
Optionally, enter a Memo.
-
Optionally, change the setting for Past Horizon. Select the number of days prior you want to be included in the snapshot. This will include past orders from the last generated snapshot for an item. The maximum is 60 days.
Note:The Future Horizon can be changed only on the item record, or using the default preference. See Set Up the Supply Chain Control Tower Feature.
Even if no setting appears for the Future Horizon on a snapshot, NetSuite uses the default future order horizon to generate the snapshot.
-
Click Save to generate a snapshot.
The snapshot displays inventory and order data at the bottom of the form.
-
Click Refresh to view the latest updates.
-
Click Edit to modify the memo you entered.
To customize a snapshot, click Customize View. For more information, see Saved Searches.
To manually create a simulation, click Manual Simulation. For more information, see Manually Creating a Supply Chain Snapshot Simulation.
The snapshot use data in the following order:
-
Supply
-
Demand
-
Past Due Supply
-
Past Due Demand
Planned orders from supply plans are included in snapshot calculations, as well as planned orders from reorder point planning. Planned orders are purchase orders only, not transfer orders.
When the sourced date used in the snapshot is NULL, the transaction is removed from the snapshot. Demand and supply orders only appear on the snapshot when sourced dates have a value.
