Slack time I/O node missing in RRP3 live cache view (GT_IO)

[former_member323340]

Dear All,

For some sales order records when we see the Slack time I/O node data in GT_IO within RRP3 we aren't able to see the Slack time. I believe this time should be equivalent to the Availability date of the sales order.

But not sure why for most of the sales orders these appear fine and for some they do not appear. We have a dependent report that retrieves data based on this slack time and hence this bothers us.

Hi lss,

Slack Time shows the Availability Date / Requirements Date of the closest I/O node that is pegged to the element.

Example:

AvailD           Categ             Element Qty

03.03.2016  PlOrd             12345     5

04.03.2016  PlOrd             12346     5

08.03.2016  Sales Order  98765     10-

If the Sales Order is pegged to both planned orders, Slack Time is 04.03.2016 - Availability Date of the closest receipt pegged to it.

Similarly, Slack Time for both planned orders is 08.03.2016 - Requirements Date of the pegged demand.

• If you do not see Slack Time in GT_IO, this indicates the Sales Order is not pegged to any receipts. You can confirm this by checking whether column Surp/short in the Elements tab shows a shortage.

Regards,

Tiago
