The Synchro Batch Parameters Category allows you to maintain the functionality and request options for the Synchro daily batch process.

This is a required category if the Synchro module is installed in your system, and only one record exists.

This screen allows you to maintain the Synchro daily process parameters.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DAYS FOR REQUEST

Required. Enter the maximum lead time (in days) accepted between the daily process request date and the parameter date entered (date taken into account by the process). This will prevent a request from being submitted within an invalid process horizon, which would result in a freezing of all the delivery requests within that horizon.

AUTOMATIC NEXT BATCH REQUEST FLAG (Y/N)

Optional. This option allows the Synchro daily process to be automatically reset for the next day at the end of the process. A daily request from the user menu is then not necessary. Defaults to N.

Y - At the end of the process, the process request flag (maintained in Reference File category G15) is set to 'Y' and the next process will be automatically generated at the date calculated by the system.

N - At the end of the process, the request flag is set to 'N' and the next process must be requested manually.

CONTIGUOUS PERIODS (Y/N)

Optional. This option allows you to accept (against GALIA standards delivery requests for which the releases in quantity per period were entered in non-contiguous periods. (For example: week from Monday through Friday instead of Monday through Sunday). Defaults to 'N'.

DELINS/VDA (Y/N)

Optional. This option allows you to accept, through DELINS/VDA Acquisition, a message which may have some invalid data related to item/delivery point relationships. This will avoid complete rejection of a message for limited errors. If you do not enter a 'Y' in this field, DELINS/VDA acquisition simulation is not allowed. Defaults to 'N'.

ALLOCATED QUANTITY UPDATE

Required. Enter either of the following two values:

Y - The system calculates the inventory allocated quantity during the daily batch and updates it in the Warehouse Balance File. The system takes this quantity into account wherever the allocated quantity is specified in the other modules (RP, IC, and MS). This quantity encompasses the item/delivery points backorder and the net quantity of the non-closed offset releases.

N - The system does not consider Synchro demand as an allocated quantity.

PRINTER TYPE

Required. Code indicating the printer type to be used. Valid values are:

1 - IDS

2 - IPDS
