Practice: Defining an Item Attribute Simulation Set
Please mention lab identifier 3EA6 in course evaluation comments.

Overview

In this practice you:

Create a new Item Attribute Simulation Set.

Modify an existing Item Attribute Simulation Set.

Use the Plan Options form to assign the new Item Attribute Simulation
Set to a plan..

Tasks
Responsibility: Advanced Supply Chain Planner

Instance:Organization TST:M1

1. From the Advanced Supply Chain Planner Responsibility, navigate to the

Item Attributes Mass Maintenance window.

2. Create a new simulation set. Navigate to return to the Item Attributes

Mass Maintenance window.

3. Enter the following information:

Item Simulation Set Name: XX_Increase LT

Description: Increase LT by 20% for Buy Items.

4. In the Find region, select the All radio button.

Click (B) Find.

5. In the Find Items window, set the following Criteria / Condition / From
values:
Original Make or Buy / Equals / Buy
Original Planner / Equals / J. Smith
Org(anization) / Equals / TST:M1
Original Processing LT / Less Than / 25
Item / Starts with / CM66

6. In the selection table, select several items, such as CM66321, CM66333,
and CM66326.

7. In the Item attributes available for update region, set the following
Attribute Name / Condition / Attribute Values:
Processing LT / Increase Original by Percentage / 20

8. Find your existing Item Simulation Set Name. Find items that match the
following Criteria / Condition / From values:
Original Make or Buy / Equals / Buy
Original Planner / Equals / J. Smith
Org(anization) / Equals / TST:M1
Processing LT / Greater Than / 2

9. You can modify this simulation set.

10. In the Item attributes available for update region enter the Attribute
Name for an attribute that you want to update, such as:
Attribute Name: Post processing. LT.
Condition: Set value to
Attribute Value: 6

11. From the Advanced Supply Chain Planner responsibility, navigate to the
Plan Options for your XX_Uncontr plan in Instance:Organization TST:M1.

Select your plan

12. In the Item Simulation Set field, select your simulation set.

Save your work.

Notes:

8. Use Query functionality to find your existing Item Simulation Set Name.

Press the <F11> key.

In the Item Simulation Set Name field, type %.

Press <Cntl> <F11>.

The Item Simulation Set Name field populates with the first of several
retrieved simulation sets. The example used for creating the solution
screen captures is:
Item Simulation Set Name: Lead Time Reduction
Description: Lead Time Reduction 40%

 Work with your Item Simulation Set Name.

To find already updated items in the simulation set, in the Find Items
region, select the Included radio button.

Click (B) Find.

The Find Items window appears in front of the Item Attribute Mass
Maintenance window.

Set the following Criteria / Condition / From values:

Original Make or Buy / Equals / Buy
Original Planner / Equals / J. Smith
Org(anization) / Equals / TST:M1
Processing LT / Greater Than / 2

Notes:

The magenta text font color indicates that these records have already
been modified. For example, the original Processing Lead Time for
several items is 20. The Processing LT for this simulation set for those
same items is 12, which is a 40% reduction in lead time.

9. You can modify this simulation set. Select the check box for a few items,
such as CM66321 and CM66331.

10. In the Item attributes available for update region enter the Attribute
Name for an attribute that you want to update, such as:
Attribute Name: Post processing. LT.
Condition: Set value to
Attribute Value: 6
