You can define run limitations for a forecast or reservation run. The significance of these limitations is that during the BOM processing in the forecast procedure, attribute values for the attributes you specify in this module are summed up. Once a sum reaches the specified limit, the forecast processing stops.

Use the Fastcall to open the C.30.01.03 Run Limitations screen.

To define run limitations, select a BOM node attribute from the LOV in the Attribute field to be used as a limitation criterion.

With the Sum Type field, you define how attribute values for BOM positions processed should be summed up. There are two options available:

  • Relative (default option) - If for a BOM position an allocation/reservation is made, the software adds the fraction of the value for the selected attribute to the overall value that corresponds to the fraction of the total BOM quantity for which a reservation/allocation will be made. Values for such a BOM attribute are interpreted as being relative to one piece/unit of BOM quantity.

  • Absolute - If for a BOM position any fraction of the BOM quantity is allocated or reserved, regardless of whether the complete quantity or only a partial quantity is allocated, the absolute value of the BOM position attribute value is added.

Select the type of limitation from the drop-down list in the Limitation Type field. Two options are available:

  • Greater - Processing stops as soon as the sum of the attribute values for the BOM positions processed so far exceeds the specified value.

  • Greater or Equal - Processing stops as soon as the calculated sum reaches or exceeds the specified value.

Specify the run limitation for the selected attribute in the Limit Value field. The quantity unit is copied from the attribute definition in the Unit field.

The Actual Value field shows the actual value calculated by the forecast/reservation run. The number of BOM positions processed during the forecast/reservation run that contributed to the actual value for this run limitation attribute is shown in the Positions field. The Stopped On Limit check box indicates that forecast/reservation processing was stopped because the limitation criterion for this attribute was reached or exceeded, according to the specified limitation type.
