Enter Tolerance Check Data on Supplier Schedule Agreement
Explanation
Use this activity to define default values for the tolerance check settings
on the supplier schedule agreement part. This means defining the tolerance checking
method to use, the deviation in percentage to be valid, and the type of schedules
that should be compared.
The tolerance checking defaults for supplier schedule agreement includes
data for the two tolerance check algorithms: cumulative and bucketed tolerance
check method.
- Cumulative Schedule Tolerance: This check shows the cumulative effect
of the releases. The quantity per day is compared to the same period of
time for a previous schedule. The variations are measured per day on the
basis of cumulative requirements.
- Bucketed Schedule Tolerance: This check summarizes schedule quantities
into the buckets defined by the schedule template. Accumulations in like-size
buckets are compared to a tolerance percentage defined for each bucket in
the template. In all cases, tolerance check comparisons are run for the
period in which two schedules overlap in time.
There are four ways to compare schedules regardless of the tolerance check
method used:
- You can compare a plan to a previous plan.
- You can compare your last generated call-off to a previous plan.
- You can compare your new call-off with the previous call-off.
- You can compare several call-offs with a previous plan.
The tab is divided into two sections, Cumulative and Bucketed. The first
section is used for the cumulative tolerance check, and the second section is
used for the bucketed tolerance check. Data entered in one of the section is
valid only for that specific tolerance check method. It is, however, possible
to use both methods at the same time.
- For the cumulative tolerance checks, you should indicate the maximum
and minimum deviation percentage you will allow, as well as the schedule
types to be compared.
- For the bucketed tolerance checks, you should enter the tolerance template
to be valid for this agreement, as well as the schedule types to be compared
if overlapping.
If tolerance checks and other policies are identical for all parts included,
it is advisable that you continue working in this tab after the agreement header
and agreement defaults are created, and then you can move to the
Parts tab. All conditions are then automatically
set as default for each part line.
Prerequisites
- A supplier schedule agreement header must be entered.
- A schedule template must be entered. This is only valid if you wish
to use the bucketed tolerance check.
System Effects
As result of this entry, the tolerance check settings will be set as default
for supplier schedule agreement part record entered next.
