Scheduled DRP

Overview
 

The DRP Scheduled Job function facilitates automating the DRP Processing routine as opposed to triggering the DRP Processing routine manually. The scheduled Job function may be setup to process a DRP run for a specific division, in either Net Change or Full Regen mode, the same as launching the process from the standard Rootstock. 

The DRP Processing routine can be referencing large amounts of data within the Org and processing time is increased based on the number of DRP Location Replenishment Maintenance records configured. The DRP Scheduled Job function can be used to schedule DRP outside of normal operating hours to reduce latency that may be experienced whilst the DRP routine is processing.

  NOTE Setting up the DRP Scheduled Job function is technical in nature and requires System Administrator privileges.

  TIP It is recommended that the Net Change option be used to avoid potential platform performance constraints, however, both the Net Change and Full Regen modes are described in this document. Refer to the MRP / DRP Net Change article for more information on the Net Change mode.

  IMPORTANT Before executing the process for scheduling a new DRP run, any existing scheduled DRP Runs must first be deleted.

Application
 

Used to schedule the DRP Processing routine to run on a predetermined schedule as opposed to initiating a DRP Processing routine manually via the user interface.

    });
