Documentation

Definition

For the planning run, the firming type determines how procurement proposals are firmed and scheduled within the planning time fence. There are the following firming types:

  • 0

    Procurement proposals are not firmed automatically. No firming takes place with this firming type.

  • 1

    Procurement proposals within the planning time fence are firmed automatically as soon as their date is at least one day before the end date of the planning time fence. The date of new procurement proposals created in the planning time fence is moved to the end date of the planning time fence. As a result, these new procurement proposals are not firmed.

  • 2

    Procurement proposals within the planning time fence are firmed automatically as soon as their date is at least one day before the end date of the planning time fence. No new procurement proposals are created automatically within the planning time fence; that is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.

  • 3

    Procurement proposals within the planning time fence are not firmed automatically. All procurement proposals required to cover the requirements are moved to the end of the planning time fence.

  • 4

    No procurement proposals are created automatically within the planning time fence; that is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.

Dependencies

If you enter a manual firming date, the planning time fence is extended to this date automatically.

You can enter a manual firming date on the initial screen of the planning run and in the stock/requirements list in MRP and in long-term planning.
