Your path after importing
Follow the process. Check each step.
This is a walkthrough for the product. The page describes the case; calculations and business actions run inside your DataFocus project.
- 01
Select an order line
Open the production panel from the guide and select line 10 of SO-000001. Inspect BOM, eligible stock, purchase commitments and workshop capacity.
- 02
Analyze quantity and scheduling evidence
Run analysis first and inspect feasible quantity, batch schedules and shortage evidence. The current algorithm handles one order without BOM scrap allowances; it is not global multi-order optimization.
- 03
Edit the order and recalculate
Change quantity or the required date in the order source. Confirm the old recommendation cannot be approved and regenerate it using stock less reservations, next-day purchase availability and daily capacity.
- 04
Inspect the approved plan
Generating a recommendation does not write a formal schedule. Approval requires current permissions, unchanged evidence and full order coverage. Then inspect the formal plan, schedule, shortage alerts and source citations.
