Notes
- The Description columns describes the type of data that you'll be refreshing in Order Promising.
- All of these parameters are optional.
- Each parameter is a check box that you can add a check mark to, so there are no values to set, except for Plan Names.
- The Combine Your Parameters column lists parameters that you typically use together, but they aren't required. For example, if you set the Internal Transfer Orders, then you typically also set the Items, Organizations, and Interlocation Shipping Networks parameters.
- This scheduled process doesn't do any validations that the log describes in interactive warnings.
- You might encounter a situation where Promising doesn't make a recommendation but inventory contains the on-hand quantities for a configured item. Promising is only aware of on-hand quantities that you collect and refresh. Try doing a collect and refresh and see if it fixes the problem.
