How You Review Attribute-Based Planning Results

Here's how you can review attribute-based planning results:

• Use the Supplies and Demands table to review netting-based planning results:

  • Review the pegging of supplies and demands with planning attributes. You can examine how the netting sequence impacted your plan.

  • Review how attribute-specific supplies have been shared among demands grouped with those attributes.

  • Review the netting sequence details for item segments. Expand the supply pegging for a demand, select an existing supply, and in the View menu click View Netting Sequence Step. You can also review this in the Items table.

  • Review the pegging of supplies and demands with planning attributes by segments. You can include the segments in the search criteria.

• Use the Exceptions tab to find and review exceptions. The Supply Planning Exceptions folder contains subfolders for your planning attributes.

• Use the Demand Fulfillment tab to review at-risk demands and recommendations. Planning attributes are displayed for expedited buy, expedited make, and expedited transfer orders.

• Use the Order Comparison tab to review changed demands and changed supplies. Planning attributes are displayed for both changed demands and changed supplies.

Here's how you analyze plans by planning attribute dimensions:

• You can edit the measure value for editable measures like Net Forecast, Gross Forecast, Manual Demand or Planned Orders at planning attribute combination level in a pivot table.

• Either edit an existing combination measure value or enter a value for time bucket for a combination at any hierarchy level. Measure values are disaggregated to lowest levels even for planning attribute dimensions

• Drill to from pivot table or material plan to Supplies and Demands or Exceptions or Build Plan. The context of the planning attribute combination will be passed during the drill-to action.

• Format measures.

• Compare plans.

• Project Group, Project and Task are displayed as levels of project hierarchy in a pivot table or graph or tile for analysis.

• Measure values are aggregated if the values are viewed at aggregate levels in project hierarchy like project or project group. Edits performed at aggregate level in project hierarchy at project group or project for editable measures are disaggregated to lowest level combinations available in the plan.

• Supplies and demands with no task with project control level as projects will be displayed with task level member as NO TASK ASSIGNED in analytics.

• Measure Context and Change Granularity are applicable only for the Dimension Parameters section of Aggregation and Disaggregation tab in a measure definition. All other measure parameters are common across any measure context for a given measure.

• Planning measures with planning attribute dimensions can be used in measure expression.

• Load Measures from Other Plans from demand and supply plans to demand plan or sales and operations plans doesn't support measure context and planning measures with planning attribute dimensions.

• You must have a default measure context for the following measures: Projected Available Balance, Projected On Hand, Safety Stock, Project Available Balance Value, Safety Stock Value. Even for plans without a default measure context, these measures are computed by the planning process at item, organization, and time dimensions only.
