How You Use the Policy Comparison Feature
The following is the process for using the policy comparison feature:
-
Set up a policy comparison plan.
In the Scope: Advanced Options dialog box of the Scope tab of the Plan Options page, select the Enable for policy comparison check box, and enter a value in the Threshold Percentage for Policy Comparison field.
-
Run the policy comparison plan.
When the deviation percentages between the suggested policy parameters and existing policy parameters are within the threshold, the suggested policy parameters are automatically accepted.
-
Review the remaining, suggested policy parameters.
-
Manually accept those suggested policy parameters that don't require changes.
-
Manually adjust those suggested policy parameters that require changes.
-
Mark the remaining, suggested policy parameters as reviewed, or leave them as is.
These suggested policy parameters don't take effect.
-
-
Update the policy measures so that the manually accepted or adjusted policy parameters overwrite the corresponding, existing policy parameters for item-location combinations.
The updated policy parameters are then used by the integrated replenishment plan or automated execution plan that's linked to the policy comparison plan.
