Delete Backlog Planning Session Data

This scheduled process deletes temporary user-related data that isn't needed after a session terminates.

Using the Demand Priority rule, you can explicitly prioritize simulation demands. You then can delete all simulation demands from Backlog Management by enabling the Delete Inquiry Demands attribute and running this scheduled process.

When to Use

• Delete all data from user sessions that ran before the date specified in the “Delete User Session Data Prior to Date” field.
• Delete all inquiry demands.
• Delete planned ship and planned arrival dates.
• Set the manual override to No, regardless of an Arrival or Ship line type.
• Reset Enforced Current Commit (ECC) and Pull-In values to Yes for all order lines.
• Remove the Manual allocation values.
