Continue to use deprecated master planning for some companies

Starting with Supply Chain Management version 10.0.32, it's possible allow some companies (legal entities) to run Planning Optimization while others continue to use the deprecated master planning engine until they're ready to be migrated.

Companies where planning processes are disabled

Starting with release 10.0.32, you must install the Planning optimization add-in before you can enable planning processes, even if you plan to use the deprecated master planning engine. If the company where you want to use deprecated master planning has planning processes disabled, follow these steps to enable them:

  1. Make sure Planning Optimization is installed and enabled as described in Get started with master planning.
  2. Make sure Planning Optimization is enabled on the Planning Optimization parameters page.
  3. Enable planning processes for the relevant company by setting Disable all planning processes to No, on the Master planning parameters page.
