Review order details
The system provides an Order View to allow planners to drill down into the transactional data behind their plans. This view is automatically filtered based on the user's selection in the main tabular view. The user can navigate to the order detail view by clicking on order quantities in Supply Plan view and select the link. The Order Detail View will show the corresponding supply orders tied to that particular supply quantity. For example, if the supply quantity represents the total of all open purchase orders in a particular week, the order detail view can be brought up to show the corresponding open purchase order details.
Edit order details
Users can review the generated planned orders and make modifications such as adjusting quantities and updating the order start date and expected delivery date. By default, when a user makes an adjustment, the modified order is automatically marked as a firm order, indicating that it will be preserved during plan rerun. Once the orders are adjusted, the user needs to click on Rerun button to recalculate the supply plan such that the impact of these changes is reflected across the whole plan. During this rerun, the system respects these firmed orders and does not recalculate them, ensuring planner intent is maintained.
