Collect Runtime Data

Collect data that changes dynamically at run time, such as on-hand supply and purchase orders.

Global Order Promising makes available-to-promise and sourcing decisions when your user creates a sales order at run time. It allows you to explore different scenarios to increase margin, improve delivery, and so on. Promising needs the most up-to-date supply and demand data to make these decisions.

Its important to periodically collect data for each new item that your users add when they create a sales order because collecting gets the on-hand quantity for return orders and canceled orders, which makes that quantity available for other sales orders. The quantity affects planning.

Try it.

1. Go to the Plan Inputs work area, then click Tasks > Collect Planning Data.

2. In the Collect Planning Data dialog, set a value in the Source System attribute, click Supply Planning Data, then move entities from the Supply Entities list to the Selected Entities list.

   Entity	Value
   On Hand	Promising uses this entity to get the inventory that's in stock for the item.
   Purchase Orders and Requisitions Transfer Orders Work Order Supplies	Add these entities so Global Order Promising can get availability across the entire supply chain.

3. Click Submit.

4. Refresh the Global Order Promising server.
