How Supply Planning Uses Attribute-Based Netting Sequences

The planning process nets demand with supply using attribute-based planning rules. Planned orders are recommended for unmet safety stock level values with planning attributes based on Attributes for Planned Orders.

Order modifiers are respected while creating planned orders during aggregating of unmet demands in a time bucket based on the attributes specified in the Demand Grouping tab in the Attributes for Planned Order task.

Settings That Affect Attribute-Based Planning

• The netting rule selected during plan options configuration.

• The items scoped in during plan options configuration.

How Demand and Supply Netting Happens

1. The netting sequence is considered.

   • For items that are supply-planned, the segment-based netting sequence is applied.

   • .For items that aren't associated with item segments, the common netting sequence defined for existing supplies is applied.

   • Items that aren't associated with item segments or existing supply are assigned. at an item-organization assignment level.

2. The safety stock is considered.

   • To meet safety stock, the attributes selected for planned orders are used.

   • To calculate days of cover safety stock, demand for safety-stock enabled items with or without planning attributes are aggregated in each time bucket. While aggregating unmet demand in a time bucket, order modifiers are respected, based on attributes selected for demand grouping

   • Existing common supply is allocated to common safety stock that was created with days of cover calculations using netting sequences.
