Navigation path: Purchasing>Supply Base>Approved Supplier List>Attributes (B)> Planning Constraints (T)

 

Refer to the table below for the setup of attributes relevant to planning.

 

Attribute	Comment	Setup
Processing Lead Time	This supplier-item attribute overrides the organization item attribute for processing lead time
Supplier Capacity Calendar 1	Planning adjusts planned order release date so that deliveries occur on the valid delivery date that coincides with the due date or the closest valid delivery date that occurs prior to the due date. This calendar is independent of your workday calendar.
Order Modifiers	These supplier-item attributes override the organization item attributes for order modifiers.
Capacity	This supplier-item attribute represents supplier item daily capacity in the purchasing UOM.
Tolerance Fence 2	Use the Tolerance% and Days Advance Notice attributes together to state by what percentage a supplier can change capacity if given a number of days advance notice.

 

Note:

1. If no calendar is defined and assigned to the supplier-item, planning will assume all days are acceptable for receiving.
2. You can make multiple entries to represent the percentage change in capacity allowed with different days of advance notices.

Delivery calendar

Set up delivery calendar the same way as setting up workday calendar. Refer to Routing Training Manual on how to setup calendars.

The delivery calendar is used to establish valid delivery days by supplier, item, and organization. ASCP will offset planned purchase order release dates by the number of days in Processing Lead Time plus the number of days necessary to cause the delivery to your dock to occur on a valid delivery day.

 

If no delivery calendar is defined and assigned to the supplier-item, planning will assume all days are acceptable for receiving.
