Use a Supply Plan as a Supply Schedule in a MultiEchelon Replenishment Plan

Welcome to the demo of the Update 24D - use a supply plan as a supply schedule in a MultiEchelon replenishment plan in Supply Chain Planning, Replenishment Planning.

With this feature, you can model your business use case to drive downstream operations in your MultiEchelon Replenishment Plan by using a supply plan or demand and supply plan as a supply schedule. Your business need is to use supplies from a supply plan that respect upstream manufacturing and supplier constraints to generate constraint planned recommendations in a MultiEchelon Replenishment Plan. This will result in enhanced planning process by seamlessly planning your entire supply network and improved customer satisfaction by balancing supplies and demands at each echelon of your supply network.

This demo will show you how you can configure and use a supply plan as a supply schedule in your replenishment plan. I am on the Replenishment Planning Plan Option screen. In this screen, you can now specify a supply plan under a new Supply Schedule section.

I am now on the Run Plan screen. A new checkbox called Consider supply schedule has been introduced. You need to first run the replenishment plan by not selecting this new checkbox. This step ensures that unconstrained demand computed by the replenishment plan for RPCDC1 which is the most upstream org in replenishment plan, will be propagated to manufacturing org, RPM1, when the supply plan is run later with the replenishment plan as the demand schedule.

I am now on the Supply Plan's Plan Option screen. In this screen, we can specify a replenishment plan as a demand schedule to read the demand from the replenishment plan. After running the supply plan, we are now on the Supply and Demand screen. RPM1 org is a manufacturing org, which is planned in supply plan. RPCDC1 org is planned in replenishment plan. RPCDC1 org sources from the RPN1 org.

For every planned order recommended by replenishment plan at RPCDC1 org, the supply plan creates the corresponding planned transfer order demand at RPN1 org and allocates constraint supplies to these demands. There are four planned transfer demands of quantities. 1423, 2192, 1316, and 1340 each. Supply plan has allocated constrained supplies to these demands.

One consolidated planned order of 2750 has been allocated to first and third planned transfer order demand. The planned order of 2289 is higher than planned transfer order of 2192, because this supply is also allocated to some other demands.

Let's analyze the planned transfer of demand of 1423. The suggested due date, which is the demand date, is 7th January, but the supplies allocated to this demand with supply due date is 10th January. This means that the demand will be met three days late. Now let's review the impact of this late supply in replenishment plan.

We are now on the Run Plan screen of replenishment plan. We will run replenishment plan with Consider supply schedule checkbox selected. The selection of this checkbox indicates that you want to drive the replenishment plan with the constraint supplies in supply plan.

After running the replenishment plan, open replenishment Workbench for RPCDC1 org. We are now on the Replenishment Workbench screen. Let's analyze first recommendation of 1423 units by using the measure unconstrained planned order by due date.

Its due date is 9th January. The replenishment plan has been created with corresponding constraint planned order of 1423 on 14 January. This is due to constrained supplies in supply plan at the source manufacturing org RPM1. This indicates that the replenishment plan results are now constrained by supply availability in supply plan.

We are now on the Supply and Demand screen. The planner can review these constraint plant orders in supplies and demands and release it. With this, we conclude this demo. Thank you for listening.
