When to Lock or Override Planning Results

During a plan run, orders are prioritized based on the demand priority rule, and supply is allocated accordingly. You might want to ship or deliver critical orders by a particular date, and your plan run may yield desirable or undesirable Planned dates for those orders. Here's what you can do in each case:

• If the Planned values are satisfactory, you can use the Lock Planning Results action to freeze the Planned values. This ensures that the Planned values for this order line are retained when you rerun the plan.

• If the Planned values are unsatisfactory, you can use the Override Planning Result action to manually specify Planned values for this line.
