DDMRP: Able to have a variability factor of more than 1 on the item coverage group
In many cases, a variability factor of more than 1 (100%) is required to adequate size the red / safety zone. Currently you cannot specify a value more than 1. We need to be able to specify a value more than 1.
DDMRP: Include all items in the Decoupling by net flow form
When we look at the DDMRP form "Decoupling points by net flow" it will only include items that are decoupled (buffered). It would be nice to have all items (buffered / non-buffered) in the same view as the net flow view, with an indications of the plannin...
DDMRP: Specify spike threshold as a percentage of the red zone
Currently the spike threshold can only be specified as a quantity on the item coverage record. Can this be changed to a percentage of the red zone please as this is the typical way the spike is defined?
Also, can the spike threshold also be moved and or added to the item cove...
DDMRP - Qualified spike horizon setting
For DDMRP (decoupling) planning, the spike horizon is determined by the coverage time fence defined within the coverage group. However, we need the flexibility to configure the spike horizon at two levels:
- Default Level: It should default to the decoupled lead time ...
STATUS DETAILSNew
DDMRP - Qualified demand should NOT include planned orders
According to the official DDMRP definition, qualified demand should only include actual (or firmed) demand. For instance an actual created sales order, transfer order or works order. Currently, even planned demand - based on the net requirements calculation - is included in the qualified dem...
DDMRP - Update of buffer status and priority after firming a planned order
It would be a great addition if the buffer status as well as the priority can be updated automatically AFTER a planned order is firmed.
Currently, we need to initiate a manual planning update on the item(s) after orders have been firmed.
DDMRP - Non buffered parts
In DDMRP planning methodology, there is also the concept of a non-buffered part (think of make-to-order items). The same net flow equation is used and planned orders are only then generated where the net flow is negative (On-hand + on-order - qualified demand) < 0. The exception with non-buff...
