Great illustration, Thank you! I was wondering what will happen if i have 2 interdependent planning groups in the same formula where the percentage of items in the 1st planning group depends on which item is available from the 2nd planning group, have you played with such scenario? This is a real case scenario in our chemicals business btw
Good question! Not sure, as I have not tested it, but I think this scenario is not currently supported. Yet it's a valid industry requirement, as you mentioned.
Very nice demo. It basically works as before a part from having to activate the feature management due to the planning optimisation engine. I am just wondering: MSO could add a validation in the formula when adding planning groups to lines where qty is established for the lines in the group, preventing output errors in master planning: What if the alternative item has to be consumed in different qty and unit of measure? I never came across to a scenario like that, but I believe it exists in the process manufacturing business; How the balancing calculation would work in that case? What if the alternative item has a different potency? Something I would be keen to test as well. 👏🏆
These are great questions Gabriel. What if the alternative item has to be consumed in different qty and unit of measure? I never came across to a scenario like that, but I believe it exists in the process manufacturing business --- yes, I believe these scenarios exist in manufacturing environments, but the feature currently (as of April 2024) doesn't support these. How the balancing calculation would work in that case? What if the alternative item has a different potency? --- I don't think this feature will do that. It will just copy quantity from formula line with quantity as use it for a substitute. As to quantity adjustments for batch potency this is a great scenario to test. Let me know once you have some results :)
