The Supply Chain Control Tower feature in our NetSuite One World account simulates inventory supply and demand across our supply chain.
To enable the supply chain control tower:
Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
Click the Items & Inventory subtab under that enable the features:
- Inventory
- Multi-Location Inventory
- Advanced Inventory Management
- Supply Chain Control Tower
To set Supply Chain Control Tower preferences:
Go to > Setup> Accounting > Control Tower Preferences.
Enter the following Preferences
- Default Supply Chain Past Order Horizon – Enter the number of days prior we want to be included in the snapshot. This will consist of past due orders dated from the current date back to the number of days defined here. The default for this field is 14 days.
- Default Supply Chain Future Order Horizon – Enter the days ahead you want to be included in the snapshot. This will consist of future orders beyond the current date in the snapshot generated for this item.
For example, when you select 30 in this field, open orders are included that are due between the current date and 30 days out. The default for this field is 30 days. The maximum we can enter in this field is 365 days.
- Vendor Predicted Days Late/Early – Enter the number of days a vendor is predicted to be late. The default for this field is 0 days. This value is used for all vendors by default, but you can set a vendor-specific value on the vendor record.
- Vendor Predicted Risk Confidence – Enter the confidence in percent of a vendor providing ordered items. The default for this field is 100. This value is used for all vendors by default, but you can set a vendor-specific value on the vendor record.
After setting the preference in the vendor record vendor predicted days and risk confidence is automatically filled
In the item record, we can see the default supply chain snapshot future order horizon as 30 ( as per the preference we set)
Assembly item record – Supply chain future horizon is 30
