Controlling Planned Items

There are three interdependent ways of controlling which items are planned in and which are
excluded from an ASCP plan:

1. Setting the Planning Method item attribute in conjunction with selecting the Plan Type in
the Supply Chain Plan Names form
o The Planning Method item attribute can be set to:
 Not planned
 MPS planning
 MRP planning
 MRP/MPP Planned
 MPS/MPP Planned
 MPP Planned
o Plan Type can be set to:
 Manufacturing Plan
 Production Plan
 Master Plan
2. Setting critical items in conjunction with setting the Include Critical Components flag in
ASCP plan options

An item can be set to be critical in two ways:

o Explicitly, by checking its Critical Component item attribute

o Implicitly, by having a routing (primary or alternate) that includes a resource in
the ASCP plan's bottleneck resource group
3. Setting the value for the Planned Items plan option, along with setting the organization-
level Include Sales Order flag in the Organizations tab of the Plan Options form. Valid
values for the Planned Items plan option are:
o All planned items
o Demand schedule items only
o Supply schedule items only
o Demand & Supply schedule items
o Demand schedule and WIP components
o Demand schedule items and all sales orders
o Demand schedule items/WIP components/all sales orders

The following tables shows the items planned based on the Planned Items Plan Option, Plan
Type, Planning Method Item Attribute, Include Critical Component Plan Option, Critical
Component Item Attribute, and Include Sales Order Plan Option:

Planned Items Plan Type Include Planned Items

Plan Option Critical
Components
Plan Option
All Planned Manufacturing Unchecked All items in the planned organizations except
Items Plan ones having MRP planning code of Not
Planned.
All Planned Manufacturing Checked 1. All critical items.
Items Plan 2. Any assembly that has a critical item
anywhere in its supply chain bill.
3. All items sandwiched between 1 and
2.

Note: If the primary component is critical

then ASCP also selects the non-critical
substitute components.

If the primary component is not critical then

ASCP does not select the substitute
components even if these substitutes are
critical.

This behavior is applicable for all variations

of Plan Type and Planned Items plan option.

Consider items A and B with the following bills of materials and demands at organizations M1
and M2:

In the Organizations tab of the Plan Options form, the Include Sales Order flag is set as follows
for M1 and M2:
Organization Include Sales Order
M1 Yes
M2 No

Item A has demand schedules and sales orders for both organizations M1 and M2. Item B has
only sales orders in organizations M1 and M2.

The following table shows what items are planned in a Manufacturing Plan. It references some
scenarios.

Scenario 1 - Demand schedule items only and Include Critical Component is not checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. All
components of item A (A1, A2, A3, A4) are also planned in both organizations. Item B with only
sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is not planned.

Sales order demands of item A for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of item A
for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for organization M2 is
unchecked.

Scenario 2 - Demand schedule items only and Include Critical Component is checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. Only
critical components of item A (A1, A3) and sandwiched item A2 are planned in both
organizations. Item B with only sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is not planned.

Sales order demands of item A for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of item A
for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for organization M2 is
unchecked.

Scenario 3 - Demand schedule items and all sales orders and Include Critical Component is
not checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. All
components of item A (A1, A2, A3, A4) are also planned in both organizations. In addition item
B with sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is planned. All components of item B (A1, A2,
A3, A4) are also planned in both organizations.

Sales order demands of items A and B for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of
items A and B for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for
organization M2 is unchecked.

Scenario 4 - Demand schedule items and all sales orders and Include Critical Component is
checked
In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. Only
critical components of item A (A1, A3) and sandwiched item A2 are planned in both
organizations. In addition item B with sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is planned. Only
critical component of item B (B3) and sandwiched item B2 are planned in both organizations.

Sales order demands of items A and B for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of
items A and B for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for
organization M2 is unchecked.

This table shows what items are planned in a Production Plan assuming items A and B are MPS
Planning (or MPS/MPP Planned) items and their components are not MPS Planning (or
MPS/MPP Planned) items. It references some scenarios.

Scenario 1 - Demand schedule items only and Include Critical Component is not checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. Item B
with only sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is not planned.

Sales order demands of item A for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of item A
for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for organization M2 is
unchecked.

Scenario 2 - Demand schedule items only and Include Critical Component is checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. In addition
all critical components of item A (A1, A3) and sandwiched item A2 are planned in both
organizations. Item B with only sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is not planned.

Sales order demands of item A for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of item A
for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for organization M2 is
unchecked.

Scenario 3 - Demand schedule items and all sales orders and Include Critical Component is
not checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. In addition
item B with sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is planned.

Sales order demands of items A and B for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of
items A and B for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for
organization M2 is unchecked.

Scenario 4 - Demand schedule items and all sales orders and Include Critical Component is
checked

In this case ASCP plans item A with demand schedules in organizations M1 and M2. In addition
all critical components of item A (A1, A3) and sandwiched item A2 are planned in both
organizations. Item B with sales orders in organizations M1 and M2 is also planned. In addition
critical component of item B (B3) and sandwiched item B2 are planned in both organizations.

Sales order demands of items A and B for organization M1 are planned. Sales order demands of
items A and B for organization M2 are ignored because the Include Sales Order flag for
organization M2 is unchecked.
