Integration with Inspection Status
The Advanced Planning extension is designed to work seamlessly with the Inspection Status app, ensuring that planning calculations reflect real-world quality and compliance constraints at lot level.
When both apps are installed, Advanced Planning inherits additional fields and business rules that allow the planning engine to automatically exclude lots that are not eligible for planning due to inspection-related restrictions.
Setup
The integration extends the Lot Inspection Status table/page with:
- Exclude from Planning (Boolean) - also visible on the list.
Meaning: if enabled for an inspection status, any lot assigned that status should be excluded from planning supply calculation.
Business Rules
Planning behavior (Calculate Regenerative Plan)
When the Inspection Status app is installed, Advanced Planning evaluates both the current inspection status, and the future inspection status that applies on the demand due date (if a future status is scheduled to take effect).
This means the same lot might be eligible today but become ineligible for demand due next week, and planning will treat it accordingly.
Rolling supply (not yet in inventory)
For “rolling stock” (future supply without a lot yet), inspection status can be predicted using default inspection status rules based on:
- Inbound entry type (purchase/production/…) and
- Entity Type (Item/vendor rules).
Log Planning Information
To support troubleshooting, the log is extended with a new field Inspection Status inherited from Lot No. Information. The log is also extended with new message patterns when inspection status causes exclusion:
- “Lot with Inspection Status %1” (red)
- “Next Inspection Status %1 – supply excluded from planning” (red)
- “Predicted Inspection Status %1 – supply excluded from planning” (red)
