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.
