Pegging
When the pegging icon (
) appears beside an order, it indicates that there is a link between supply and demand for this plan.
Pegging links demand to incoming supply. You can create a peg chain between a supply transaction and a demand transaction from either side. Demand transactions can peg to supply transactions and supply transactions can peg to demand transactions. The supply planning process populates pegging data. If Supply Allocation is enabled, the system first looks for allocations and populates pegging with that information.
The remaining supply is pegged to un-allocated demand chronologically. You cannot create the associations for pegging, you can only review them. Only allocations are reserved. The pegging generated chronologically by the system is only provided for review/analysis.
If a firm allocation exists for a supply order, it cannot be rescheduled or canceled by the supply planning process. A peg prevents the incoming supply from being reserved or allocated to another demand transaction.
Initially, only the top-level order is displayed.
Click the arrow icon beside a parent item to display the related child item next pegging levels. For example, there is an issue with the balance, not enough supply, the supply order is late, or the purchase order was received late. You can see how demand that is impacted by that issue.
