Use the simple planning worksheet

On the Simple Planning Worksheet page, you can review the production plan generated based on logical calculations, edit the plan to suit your requirements, and create multiple production orders.

The following procedure outlines how to manage the demand lines generated.

1. Open the Simple Planning Worksheet page via:

   • the Calculate Production Plan page.
     For more information, see Generate a production plan
   • the Suggested Demand Lines page.
     For more information, see Manage suggested demand lines.

   You can view details of the production order lines in the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Item No.	Specifies the item number.
   Description	Specifies the description of the item.
   Production Date	Specifies the date of the demand forecast that the line belongs to.
   No. of Production Orders	Specifies the number of production orders associated with the item.
   Action Qty	Specifies the quantity of the production order per production order or the sum of the quantities of all the production order lines in the case of the item header. You can enter the quantity values if required.
   Accept Action	Select the checkbox if you want to accept the action message proposed for the line.
   Action Message	Specifies the action to be taken by the system to re-balance the demand-supply situation. The available options are: Increase: Increase the quantity of the production order as the production quantity is less than the production plan quantity. If there are multiple production orders, the quantity will be increased in the most recently created order. Reduce: Reduce the quantity in the production order as the production quantity exceeds the production plan quantity. If there are multiple production orders, the quantity is decreased in the oldest production order. Remove: Remove the production order and cancel the item tracking lines, as the production order does not have an output quantity. None: No action is taken as the production quantity of the production order matches the planned production quantity. If no production order line exists, the system creates a production order line with values to match the production plan quantity.
   Ref. Order No.	Specifies the related production order number.
   Ref. Order Line No.	Specifies the line number assigned to the production order number.
   Rem. Qty. on Prod. Order	Specifies the remaining quantity on the production order.
   Item Tracking Exists	Specifies whether the component or item tracking lines exist for the production order.
   Ref. Order Status	Specifies the status of the production order.
   Label Date	Specifies the due date of the production order. You can select or enter a due date if required.
   Verbose Message	Specifies the actions to be executed on the production order.

2. Select the following actions as required.

   The actions impact all the Simple Planning Worksheet page lines.

   Action	Description
   Set Accept Action	Select the Accept Action checkbox for all lines.
   Reset Accept Action	Clear the Accept Action checkbox for all lines.
   Process Production Order	Process the production order for all lines based on the quantity defined in the simple planning worksheet.

   Upon executing the Process Production Order action, the production orders are created accordingly.
