Example of How Decommitting Orders Impacts Planning Results
Let's say you're planning three orders for the same item, sourced from the same organization. Let's chart out the sales order attributes that are relevant before and after planning. We will review two planning scenarios: in the first, the Enforce Current Commit value will be Yes for all three orders, and in the second we will decommit one of them.
This table depicts the attribute values relevant for planning.

Supply Availability Information
-
15 units on 01/11/2020
-
10 units on 01/18/2020
-
5 units on 01/25/2020
Key Settings for the Plan Run
-
We select a simple demand priority rule REQDATE, which prioritizes demands by just by their requested date. It gives highest priority to the order with the earliest requested date.
-
The Enforce Current Commit value is Yes for all three orders.
Planning Results When All Scheduled Dates Are Enforced
The plan was run. Our table now also includes calculated priority values and planned dates.

Orders are prioritized based on their requested date. You infer that the planned dates are no later than the scheduled dates.. This is because the planning process respected the scheduled dates, based on the Enforce Current Commit value.
Now let's see what happens when the Enforce Current Commit value of Order 2 is changed to No.
Planning Results When One Order Is Decommitted
Order 2 was decommitted and the plan was run. Our table now displays new planned dates.

Order 3 |

01/25/2020 |
01/18/2020 |
Yes |
You infer that the planned date of Order 2 is later than its scheduled date. Meanwhile, the planned date of Order 3 has improved. This is because the planning process used supply for the decommitted Order 2, which would be available from 01/18, to fulfill Order 3 on 01/18, which is earlier than its scheduled date.
Because 5 units of supply were taken away from Order 2, and because the next 5 units of supply are available on only 01/25, Order 2 can be fulfilled only on 01/25.
