This page allows you to compare the Unconstrained input and the Constrained output of Production Planning.
Before you start
Use the context selectors in the top-right to select a location and product combination.
Select Import data from Production Planning to import data from the production plan for comparison.
Select a Time View Settings to focus on a specific timeframe.
| Parameter | Value |
| View Years History | This is the number of years history to view. If you enter more than the maximum history available, only the maximum available is shown. |
| View Period Type | View Period Type: This provides options to view planning periods as either:

Define Production Plan and Unconstrained Scenarios
| Parameter | Value |
| Inventory Scenario to feed in Optimizer Outputs | Select an inventory scenario from the dropdown to use in the optimizer outputs. |
| Inventory Scenario to feed Outside Inventory Planning | Select an inventory scenario from the dropdown to use outside inventory planning. |
The Effective Production Plan and Uncontrained Scenarios card displays the default scenario or the selected "Defined" value.
Set the Inventory Policy and Edit Reorder parameters to use for the scenarios set in the Effective Production Plan and Unconstrained Scenarios table.
Inventory Policies
| Parameter | Value |
| ABC-XYZ | Displays the ABC and XYZ values set in 900 – Global Parameters. |
| Default Inventory Policy for ABCXYZ* | Displays the default inventory policy set in 206 – Set Inventory Policies by Segment. |
| Override Inventory Policy* | Displays the override inventory policy. |
| EF Base Inventory Policy* | Displays the current effective inventory policy. |
| Service Level Conversion | Displays the service level conversion rate. |
Edit Reorder Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
| Minimum Inventory Level* | Displays the minimum level of inventory. |
| Minimum Order Quantity* | Displays the smallest quantity that can be ordered. |
| Order Multiple* | Displays the increments in which orders can be placed. |
| Target Inventory Level* | Displays a target inventory level, above which the inventory mustn't exceed. |
The Closing Inventory graph displays the weekly closing inventory unit values at the specified location.
The Inbound Deliveries graph displays the weekly inventory unit values that are on their way to the specified location.
The Outbound Deliveries graph displays the weekly inventory unit values that have left the specified location.
Parameters
The tables below display different parameters and their values for the Distribution Center weekly.
DC Inbound Deliveries
| Parameter | Value |
| Production Plan Replenishment (U) | Displays the units imported from the production plan. |
| Transfers, POs, and Intransit (U) | Displays the units of inventory being transferred between locations, assigned against a purchase order, or in transit. |
| DC Inbound before Inventory Policies (U) | Displays inbound inventory units before an inventory policy is considered. |
| Impacts of Inventory Policies on PP Inbound (U) | Displays the units that affect inbound production plan data as a result of inventory policies. |
Final DC Inbound Deliveries
| Parameter | Value |
| Cumulative Inbound Delay due to Inventory Policies | Displays the effect of inbound delivery delays to a distribution center due to inventory policies. |
| Unconstraint DC Inbound Deliveries (U) | Displays the units to be delivered to a distribution center. |
| Inbound Production Plan VAR (U) | Displays the units inbound from the production plan value at risk (VAR). |
DC Demand
| Parameter | Value |
| Total DC Demand - Unconstraint (U) | Displays the units of finalized demand output for the inventory plan. |
| Impacts of Production Plans Constraints (U) | Displays the units impacted by production plan constraints. |
| Production Plan DC Deliveries (U) | Displays the units being delivered from the production plan. |
| Planned Transfers Out (U) | Displays the units to be transferred from the distribution center. |
| Inventory Policies Timing Impacts (U) | Displays units impacted by inventory policy timing. |
DC Inventory Projection
| Parameter | Value |
| DC Opening Inventory (U) | Displays the distribution center's unit balance. For the first period, this is the on-hand inventory, and for subsequent periods the previous period's closing balance. |
| DC Inbound Deliveries (U) | Displays the units being delivered to a distribution center. |
| DC Outgoing before Inventory Policy Impacts (U) | Displays the outgoing units before inventory policies are considered. |
| Inventory Policies Timing Impacts (U) | Displays units impacted by inventory policy timing. |
| DC Outgoing (U) | Displays the sum of all open and in-transit orders from the DC. |
DC Closing Inventory (U)
| Parameter | Value |
| Maximum Target Inventory (U) | Displays a target maximum inventory level, above which the inventory mustn't exceed. |
| Minimum Target Inventory (U) | Displays a target minimum inventory level, below which the inventory mustn't fall. |
| Shortfall v Minimum Target (U) | Displays the difference in value of the total number of insufficient inventory v/s the level below which inventory isn't allowed to fall. |
