Master Planning set up issues Solved from Christian

Hey Eric,

I hope you and your family are doing well.

Thanks for your time this morning. As promised, I found the issues.

1. The first issue was the missing calendar (incl. working times) on the warehouses on the master plan tab.

I populated such with the standard calendar to be used for master planning calculations – this is requires as it gives master planning insights in “working times” what was also not populated under the calendar itself.

1. I populated the working times:

`` 

1. For the future and to make things easier for you I also created a working time template that you can use moving forward to create working times – for now such are created till 2026.

``          

1. Second reason planning didn’t give any results was that the life cycle state referenced on the released product is set to “not to be planned for”. I flagged this to yes.

``` 

• See the test run below that is now working and creating planned orders:

A couple other things to review.consider when you roll out planning:

• If you having batch/serialized tracked items or AWM enabled items and want to plan for such, you need to have such dimensions activated for planning. (under tracking and storage dimension group)
• Lead times (some of your lead times are outside of your master plan coverage time fence – and thus wont be recognized by planning optimization) – short, data integrity and clean-up can help here.
• Demand plan and methods to cannibalize the master plan – I saw you flagged demand planning under the master plan as to be incldued – please now that the new demand planning app should be used, over the legacy built in demand planning capabilities. I spoke at 2 conferences about that topic last year and my team and I are happy to support you here if needed.
• Item coverages and coverage groups (coverage groups test data clean-up)

Please let me know if there is any additional question.

Thanks so much, Eric! And safe travels back home 😊
