Overview of Calculated Order Attributes and the Gantt Chart

Calculations are more complex in a constrained supply plan than in an unconstrained plan. So, there are additional diagnostic attributes to help you diagnose issues in your constrained supply plan.

The calculated order and resource requirement attributes help you understand why the supply planning process made certain decisions during the calculation process. In conjunction with these diagnostic attributes for a constrained supply plan, you can also use the Gantt Chart to:

• View orders and resource requirement duration on a timeline along with the calculated attributes.

• Visualize the timing of supplies to be manufactured and sourced to support the demand.

• Visualize how orders consume capacity on a resource.

• Interactively modify the planned dates of a supply or resource requirement. For example, use drag and drop to change a supply order or a resource activity to an earlier time or a later time.
