Review Supplies and Demands with Project Pegging
After you run a project-specific supply plan, you can navigate to the plan and review the plan details.
Follow these steps to navigate to the plan:
-
From one of the Supply Chain Planning work areas, click the Task drawer and select Manage Plans.
-
Select your project-specific plan, click Actions, and then click Open.
-
On the Edit Plan page, click Open.
-
In the Open Table, Graph, or Tile Set page, search for the Items, Supplies and Demands, or Exceptions table.
-
Select the table and click OK to open the table and review plan details.
Review Plan Details
You can review these details of your project-specific plan:
Plan Detail |
How You Review the Plan Detail |

Pegging relationships between supplies and demands of the item |
Navigate to the Supplies and Demands table to review pegging of project demands and supplies. Here's how you can review the plan:
|
Sharing of project supplies |
The planning process shares project supplies across project demands based on the netting rule associated to the plan. You can select a supply and review its pegged quantity across various project demands. Here's how you can review the plan:
|
Exceptions |
Exceptions are key elements to evaluate and improve your plan. After you run a project-specific plan, view the exceptions to understand the quality of the plan and to get visibility of key problem areas. In the Exceptions table, you can review project group, project, and task details in these order-related exceptions:
You can search orders in an exception for a specific project group, project, and task. You can include project group, project, and task in your search on the Exceptions table using the Add Fields option. |

Items with a Shortage in a Project Task |
The Items with a Shortage in a Project Task exception is a project-specific supply planning exception that evaluates item shortages in a specific project and task. The planning process calculates this exception for a project and its associated tasks for an item and assists in analyzing item shortages and resolving project demand shortages issues. The exception calculation can be controlled by providing threshold details. This exception appears in the same circumstances as the Items with a Shortage exception. However, in this exception, the planning process uses only the supplies and demands that belong to a project and task. You get the following details in this exception:
Note: To generate this exception, you must include the
exception in the exception set that you associate to your project-specific
plan.

Analyze Project-Based Plan using Project Dimensions
- The project group, project, and task attributes are displayed as levels of a the project hierarchy in a pivot table, graph, or tile for analysis.
- Measure values are aggregated if the values are viewed at aggregate levels in the project hierarchy, such as project or project group.
- Edits performed at the aggregate level in the project hierarchy at project group or project for editable measures are disaggregated to the lowest level combinations available in the plan.
- The supplies and demands with no task and project control level as a project are displayed with the task-level member as NO TASK ASSIGNED in planning analytics.
Refer to the Planning Attributes section of the Attribute-Based Planning chapter for additional information on the association of measures in a measure context and deploying the measures for an attribute-based plan.
Simulate Project Demand and Supply
You can perform simulations by changing or editing data in your project-specific plan to understand impact of changes on your plan and evaluate various what-if scenarios. After simulation, you can use the plan comparison capability to compare the proposed plan with an existing base plan.
You can simulate these aspects of you project-specific plan:
-
The effect of editing the project group, project, and task for planned orders. You can use mass editing capabilities to edit a set of planned orders for simulation.
-
The effect of date and quantity updates to project-specific supplies such as work order, purchase order, or transfer order.
-
The effect of creating a manual demand, planned order, or on hand with project and task attributes. To create the manual order, click the Create icon on the Supplies and Demands page, and select the source type in the Create Order dialog box. When you select the project group, project, and task, the planning process retains their relationships for the order.
Run the plan with the Do not refresh with current data option selected to see the results of your simulation. The planning process refers to the attribute-based netting rule of the plan to perform netting and creates supplies.
You can use the Edit in Spreadsheet option to edit project groups, project, and task for planned orders, manual demand, or on hand and then perform simulation. You can also edit gross forecast, net forecast, planned order, or manual demand measure values in a pivot table. Here's how it works:
-
When you edit a cell containing an existing measure value, the spread will be same as prior updates. The updates are spread across underlying combinations irrespective of whether the net forecast, gross forecast, planned order, or manual demand has a project and task or not.
-
When you edit a cell containing a null value, planned orders are created without a project and task. You can navigate to supplies and demands view from the pivot table and add project group, project, and task.
