Purchase orders
This table contains the purchase orders of your supply chain (replenishment you are purchasing from your suppliers), either proposed by frePPLe or confirmed.
This table is populated with new proposed purchase orders when frePPLe generates a plan. It is also possible to load purchase orders that are already approved or confirmed in your ERP system.

inventory status |
number |
The Inventory Status is a calculated field that highlights the urgency of the purchase order.
The cells have a background color that can be green, orange or red. Sorting
the purchase orders using the Inventory Status column (red ones first) allows the planner to
immediately focus on the purchase orders that should be treated first.
|
criticality |
number |
The criticality is a read-only field, calculated by the planning engine.
It represents an indication of the slack time in the usage of the purchase order.
A criticality of 0 indicates that the purchase order is on the critical path of one or more demands.
Higher criticality values indicate a delay of the purchase order will not immediately impact the shipment of any demand.
A criticality of 999 indicates a purchase order that isn’t used at all to meet any demand.
Note that the criticality is independent of whether the customer demand will be shipped on time or not.
|
delay |
duration |
The delay is a read-only field, calculated by the planning engine.
It compares the end data of the purchase order with the latest possible end date to ship all demands it feeds on time.
