Release Recommendation Options

Use the Release Recommendations Parameters section in the Supply: Advanced Options dialog box to configure the following supply plan options:

• Compression days tolerance for automatic release

• Requisition load group by

• Transfer load group by

• Released only by user

Access the Release Recommendations Parameters section from a Supply Planning, Demand and Supply Planning, Replenishment Planning, or Planning Central work area.

Compression Days Tolerance for Automatic Release

Use this option to indicate the number of compression days allowed for the automatic release of planned orders. The number of compression days applies only to automatic release of planned orders and recommendations. Compression days means the number of days reduced between the start date and due date as suggested by the planning process.

The Compression Days Tolerance for Automatic Release field isn't available in the Supply: Advanced Options dialog box for a replenishment plan.

Requisition Load Group By

Use this option to indicate the requisition load group when loading requisitions to purchasing. For each option, except All, the planning process creates one line for each planned order within each requisition.

• All: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for all recommended orders.

• Item: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each item.

• Buyer: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each buyer.

• Supplier: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each supplier.

• Category: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each item category.

• Location: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each location.

• Project: The planning process creates one purchase requisition for each project. This option is available only when the project-specific supply planning is enabled for your enterprise.

Transfer Load Group By

Use this option to indicate the transfer load group when loading transfers to logistics. The value of Transfer Load Group By determines how the actual transfer order is created.

• All: The planning process creates all transfers in one transfer order.

• Source and destination:The planning process creates one transfer order for each Ship From (source) and Ship To (destination) organization.

• Source and destination and ship date: The planning process creates one transfer order for each Ship From and Ship To organization, and each ship date.

• Source and destination, shipping method and ship date: The planning process creates one transfer for each Ship From and Ship To organization pair, and shipping method and ship date.

Released Only by User

Use this option to specify whether to restrict implementation of planned orders and recommendations to the current user. If you enable this option, the planning process implements only those planned orders and recommendations that the current user has marked. If you disable this option, the planning process implements planned orders and recommendations that are marked by any user.

Note:

This option applies only to the manual release of planned orders.
