With Planning Optimization, companies experience significantly improved performance and scalability, which enables near-real-time insights into requirement changes. The enhancements delivered in this release wave add support for more process manufacturing scenarios, increase planning accuracy, and help users respond quickly to changes without disrupting the overall plan.

  • Manufacturers can now use Planning Optimization in process manufacturing scenarios that include batch orders, co-products, and by-products.
  • Batch disposition codes are now honored by Planning Optimization during materials requirement planning. This grants businesses greater control over how inventory is allocated and whether it is available for reservation.
  • Planning Optimization can now take into account supply forecasts to enhance the quality and accuracy of the generated material requirements plans.
  • Demand from sales quotations can now be considered by Planning Optimization for enhancing the quality and accuracy of the generated material requirements plans.
  • It's now possible to have Planning Optimization respect finite material availability when automatically scheduling actual, firmed production orders. This ensures that planned production orders won't be delayed due to material shortages.
