Net requirement calculation

• There are two types of net requirement calculations: Net requirement calculation You use the net requirement calculation to perform requirements planning based on the customer order backlog, as well as any existing sales forecasts. and Continuous net requirement calculation.
• The net requirement calculation is run on given times which you enter in the procedure.
• The continuous net requirement calculation is run at certain time intervals.
• The purpose of these two types of calculations is that you can run the "big calculation" occasionally but you run the continuous net requirement calculation more often, all done to keep your order suggestions updated during the entire work day.
• The continuous net requirement calculation only includes the parts (and included/incorporated parts) for which there have been any changes as regards the planning, in comparison to the most recent requirement calculation. For example that an order has been replanned or a part has been stock counted.
• Since the settings regarding when and how often these calculations should run are now entered in G5, you no longer need to register so-called scheduled activities in Windows on the server.
• It is possible to enter that certain roles, groups, or individual users, should receive notifications when the calculation starts, is finished, and when errors occur. It is possible to decide that the notification should only be shown when order suggestions have been generated.
• The selection of which parts to include in the calculation/run is common for both types of calculations and you do it directly in the selection box you save with Save.
• It is also possible to start the calculations/runs manually by using the button Run .
• There is also a log containing history over all earlier net requirements calculations.
• The net requirement calculation is now much faster.
