Definition
This parameter and the Plan Type field in the Supply Chain Names
window, control the items that are planned in the supply chain plan.
An item must satisfy conditions imposed by both parameters before
being included in the supply chain plan.

The assignment set that holds the sourcing rules and bills of
distribution that define the rules for material flow within your
supply chain.

Choose from Operation Start Date or Order Start Date scheduling

methods.

When ASCP does detailed scheduling, it schedules demands one by

one. The rule specified here dictates the order in which demands
will be considered during detailed scheduling, and thus which
demands will get the first opportunities to take up available
materials and resource capacities

Overwrite planned orders

Appends new planned orders to current plan

Set this option to instruct the planning engine to:

Value

All Planned Items

Demand Schedule Items and all sales orders: Plan all items that have demands as well as all
items that have sales orders against them.
Supply Schedule Items only
Demand and supply schedule Items
Demand Schedule and WIP components
Demand Schedule items only: Only plan items that have demands If plan option Include Sales
Orders is selected (Organizations tab), include only sales orders against those items.
Demand Schedule Items, WIP components and all sales orders

If you choose Operation Start Date, material is scheduled to arrive at the start of the operation
for which it is required.
If you choose Order Start Date, material is scheduled to arrive at the start of the order for
which it is required.

In ASCP, planning decision-making occurs sequentially in the following phases:

Selection of alternates (routings, substitute components, internal source organizations,

suppliers).
Pegging of supplies (on-hands, scheduled receipts, and planned order supplies) to demands.

 Detailed scheduling of individual operation steps on resources

When you enter All in the Overwrite field in the Main tab of the Plan Options form, the planning
process overwrites all entries, planned and firm planned, from the current material plan. When
you enter None in the Overwrite field, the planning process does not overwrite any firm
planned orders. It does, however, overwrite any suggested planned orders that are not firm.
When you enter Outside planning time fence in the Overwrite field, the planning process
overwrites all entries from the current plan, planned and firm planned, outside the planning
time fence, and overwrites only planned orders inside the planning time fence. It does not
overwrite any firm planned orders within the planning time fence. The planning time fence can
be different for each item, so the planning process looks at the planning time fence for each
item when choosing what to delete.

When you uncheck the Append Planned Orders field in the Main tab of the Plan Options
window, the planning process does not append any planned orders to the current plan.
Additional demand does not cause planned order recommendations. Instead, the projected
quantity on hand may go negative in response to demand that was not met by a suggested
planned order.
When you check the Append Planned Orders field, the planning process appends additional
planned orders after the last entry on the current material plan to meet any additional
demand. The overwrite and append options work in combinations, as described below

Plan supplies based on sales order line request, promise, or schedule dates for either ship or
arrival
Consume forecasts based on sales order line request, promise, or schedule dates. You must
provide forecast dates that match your choice of this plan option; for example, if you select
Promise Ship date for this plan option, make sure your forecast dates are in terms of promise
ship dates.

Order State Date is usually an earlier date than the Operation Start Date and
therefore this selection represents the more conservative planning logic of the two
options.

Note: Intelligent selection of alternates occurs in constrained plans with decision

rules enabled or in optimized plans only. Constrained without decision rules enabled
and unconstrained plans choose only the primary alternative (for example, the
primary routing) and always respect the sourcing rank and percentages specified in
sourcing rules.

Note: This phase is enabled only if the Constrained Plan checkbox in the Constraints
tab of the Plan Options form is checked

Plan Types

Use the Master plan as a demand schedule for a

Production plan run

as an input demand schedule

Master Plan

the components and subcomponents.
