Documentation

Definition

Controls that the PDS is discretized in the SNP optimization run in SCM.

Use

You use this indicator during optimization-based planning in Supply Network Planning (SNP) to define that individual PDS are only executed in multiples of the lot size within the discretization horizon (these multiples must be whole numbers).

The indicator is mostly used to exclude individual PDS from being discretized, as the discretization procedure reduces the solution-finding capabilities in SNP optimization-based planning.
