15. Configure the Supply execution profile

The Supply execution profile joins the calendar, heuristic behavior, inventory policy, transactional opening stock, and productive-capacity rule. It does not own bucket size or horizon: both come from the reusable calendar created in chapter 5.

Create the profile

Open Supply Chain Planning > Execution Profiles, click New profile, and create:

Field Value
Profile ID SP_TUTORIAL_LOCAL_FIRST_2027
Description Tutorial heuristic — local production before inbound
Calendar profile CAL_TUTORIAL_MONTHLY_12

In General, confirm:

  • Calendar profile = CAL_TUTORIAL_MONTHLY_12;
  • Work version source = Constrained Plan;
  • Execution engine = Heuristic.

Supply profile using the reusable monthly calendar

The calendar badge in Scope must show the same ID. If it is blank, do not run the plan: save the calendar association first.

Configure the Community heuristic

Apply these settings and leave Pro / Enterprise controls locked or disabled:

Section Setting Tutorial value
Replenishment Inventory policies TUTORIAL_FG_POLICY
Replenishment Target stock model Min/Max
Replenishment Generate planned production orders On
Replenishment Generate planned inbound requisitions On
Constraints Consider production constraints On
Constraints Production capacity type Total Hours / Day
Transactional Data Use transactional inventory as the starting point On

Click Save profile, reload it, and revisit the three sections. A success message alone is not enough: the calendar, inventory policy, production constraint, and initial-stock toggle must still be present after reload.

How calendar reuse works

The Demand profile and this Supply profile may reference the same calendar. That makes their twelve monthly buckets compatible, but the Supply run still needs a reference period aligned with the Demand Plan. Reusing a calendar does not copy demand, network, or plan results.

Checkpoint

  • profile SP_TUTORIAL_LOCAL_FIRST_2027 exists;
  • calendar CAL_TUTORIAL_MONTHLY_12 is selected;
  • the Community heuristic produces its Working version from the Constrained Plan;
  • inventory policy, planned supply, productive constraints, and opening stock are enabled as listed.
