Global Planning Parameters

Global Parameters define shared fallback values. A profile-level or record-level setting, when present, takes precedence over the global value.

Path in the platform

Configuration > Global Parameters

This configuration is not maintained under Data; it belongs to the platform-wide configuration area.

Optional parameters relevant to planning

Every parameter in this table is optional. When it is not provided, the platform uses the value in the last column.

Functional field Meaning Default Value When Not Provided
Default Supply Planning unit Unit used when sales and other quantitative records omit uomId UN
Default logistics weight unit Unit used when a vehicle load omits loadWeightUom Default Supply Planning unit; if it is also empty, UN
Default logistics volume unit Unit used when a vehicle load omits loadVolumeUom Default Supply Planning unit; if it is also empty, UN
Default sales history source History used when an execution profile does not select a source Sell-out
Days to consider a material new Window after introduction used to derive the New stage 0

Unit resolution order

When uomId is blank in sell-out or sell-in:

  1. the platform reads the default Supply Planning unit;
  2. if that global parameter is also blank, it uses UN.

The resolved unit must exist in Units of Measure and be compatible with the material and plan.

For a Vehicle Loading Order, weight and volume are resolved independently:

  1. the platform reads the corresponding default logistics unit;
  2. if that parameter is empty, it reads the default Supply Planning unit;
  3. if that parameter is also empty, it uses UN.
