Setting Report Criteria
You can set various reporting criteria to gain visibility over widespread or specific information sent from suppliers. For example, you can set the number of supplier plan or ship schedule releases to be compared and set the variance percentage that displays between the first and last supplier schedule release.
You can set the following criteria for the comparison report:
 
• Supplier
• Buyer/Planner
• Number of ship releases
• Output format
• Ship to
• Effective order lines
• Ship schedule variance %
 
• Item number
• Generate planning release
• Display quantities
 
• Order
• Number of plan releases
• Report file name
 
• Release ID
• Plan schedule variance %
• Send email
 
• Create date
• Generate shipping release
• email address
 
Set combinations of criteria to view specific schedule data. For example, use Release Date Created to filter by a specific date range of releases. When you do, the system includes all releases within the range.
Filter by the Number of Releases to determine the maximum number of releases to report, beginning with the most current release (based on release date) and working in descending release date order.
Note: Setting Release Date Created overrides the filter you set using Number of Releases. When the date range is blank, the system reports data for the most recent releases.
Specify a Buyer to filter those order lines for items that match the Buyer/Planner code in item planning and item-site planning data.
For type 4 supplier schedules, a standard supplier schedule does not have an Interval field to indicate whether a requirement is daily, weekly or monthly; therefore, the system uses the Schedule Days, Schedule Weeks and Schedule Months parameters on the scheduled order line to determine whether a requirement falls into the daily, weekly, or monthly category. So, the following displays for type 4 reports:
• The shipping report output for a type 4 schedule displays comparisons of requirements within the schedule days horizon for report display.
• The planning report output for a type 4 schedule displays rolled-up daily requirements into weekly values, but displays weekly values as-is, and breaks down monthly values into weekly values
