Enter Disposition of Quotation

Explanation

Use this function to define the disposition of quotations for a site. Sales quotations affect two aspects of IFS/Planning, namely, Level 1 Master Scheduling, and Material Requirements and Planning (MRP). Quotations are treated as a different type of demand known as planned actual demand in Level 1 Master Scheduling, and they consume the Spare Parts forecasts in MRP. The disposition methods are entered per site and are valid for all sales quotations on the specified site. The possible values include:

• Ignore: When Ignore is specified, quotation lines that cross the DTF (demand time fence) consume forecasts in the usual manner. Quotation lines that go past due will be set in Canceled status, and possibly with a reason code specified for the quotation line.
• Drop: When Drop is specified, quotation lines that cross the DTF (demand time fence) or go past due will in both cases have their Release for Planning flag unchecked, and possibly with a reason code specified for the quotation line.
• Roll Out: When Roll Out is specified, quotation lines that cross the DTF (demand time fence) or go past due will both have their due dates reset to the first working day outside the DTF.

After running Level 1 Master Scheduling calculations, the forecasts will be consumed only if the Online Consumption flag is checked for the inventory part, and if the sales quotations are not converted into customer orders.

The spares forecasts in MRP will be consumed only if it is defined as a spare part and the Online Consumption flag is checked for the inventory part. The same applies if the sales quotations are not converted into customer orders.
