Business value
Automate and streamline order taking and the related supply process for make-to-order (MTO) scenarios. You can benefit from improved capable-to-promise (CTP) accuracy with plan-specific delay tolerance, keep supply available for last-minute orders, and populate external order information during intercompany trade.
Feature details
Make-to-order supply automation enables you to do the following:
- View the resource capacity load for a user-defined period, thereby enabling long-term evaluation of the capacity load.
- Improve CTP accuracy by controlling the delay tolerance (negative days) for each master plan.
- Keep products available for last-minute orders and optimize usage of existing supply. This is achieved by using the latest possible supply to a demand, instead of using the first possible supply.
- Keep component assignments flexible for production orders after firming, which enables the system to optimize for last-minute demand changes. In other words, limit marking to one level.
- Control fulfillment policy for each sales order with defaulting from the customer setup.
- Enhance intercompany information flow. Purchase orders are updated to include fields for mode of delivery, delivery terms, and external item number. This ensures that detailed demand information can flow to the supplying company.
