Note

• Scenario Handling section in How to Use the Application introduces the purpose and benefits of scenario functionality.

• Structure Overview section details the hierarchy from individual Scenarios to Network Scenarios and Batch Runs.

• Scenario Pages Layout section describes the shared functionality that is common across all types of scenarios.

On this page, you can create Scenarios for the supplier input data. A Supplier Scenario is an adjustment of the data of an Attribute in one of the Supplier data tables. There are two different types of Supplier Scenarios: Supplier and Supplier Product. In the Data Tabs area, there are two tabs corresponding with the two types of Supplier Scenario:

• Supplier Data Tab displays data in Supplier, Location, Step, Period

• Supplier Product Data Tab displays data in Supplier, Location, Product, Step, Period

Examples

• Scenario 1: One supplier has increased its ‘Maximum Capacity’ by 10% in all locations and all periods for step 1.

  Supplier ‘Antalya_FG’ has increased its capacity in all locations and all periods.

  • Select Supplier to be ‘Antalya_FG’. For Location leave it empty.

  • Select the ‘Maximum Capacity’ Attribute from the drop-down list.

  • In the table underneath, enter the value 10 in the cell at the intersection of the column ‘% Change’ and the row for the period group ‘2023-CY’ and step ‘1’.

  

• Scenario 2: The Suppliers in a group of locations decrease cost.

  All finished goods (FG) suppliers have reduced by 3% ‘Variable Cost’ for ‘Mono-Crystalline’ in ‘2023-H1’.

  • Select Location to be the group ‘FG’ (by default, all Suppliers will be selected, there is no need to select any).

  • Select Product to be ‘Mono-Crystalline’.

  • Select the ‘Variable Cost’ Attribute from the drop-down list.

  • In the table underneath, enter the value -3 in the cell at the intersection of the column ‘% Change’ and the rows for the period ‘2023-H1’ and steps ‘1’ and ‘2’.
