Business Problem• Without material availability, completion of the service activities is not
possible
• When the moment of execution is close, the certainty of material availability needs to be high – often companies cannot check whether all parts are there for e.g. tomorrow
• When the material is NOT available, often no trigger to solve the problem
• by contacting the supplier, to see whether he can deliver earlier
• by shifting the service activity to the first date of material availability
Material not available causes problems
Service activities cannot be completed extra costs, extra visits
Customer satisfaction low, since work not done in time or finished later
Customer satisfaction low, since the broken installation cannot be used
Partial material outbound materials get lost extra costs
5Copyright © 2013. Infor. All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com
Business Value• See upcoming material shortages early
• Make sure that supplier delivers on time
• Contact customer to postpone service job
• This results in
Higher customer satisfaction
Less “half executed” repairs - causing high costs
Outbound for all materials together, no parts lost at staging location

The business requirement• Support 2 planning models:
• Plan employees first (e.g. work bench), then check whether materials are available
• Find easily orders and activities with material shortage (to work on problem)
• Determine when material is available, then plan the employees to perform activity
• Shift the service job to the material availability moment

LN Solution: how does it work• Option to mark service-item as critical for inventory
• Various levels of materials availability can be checked:
• ATP (via Enterprise Planning)
• Planned available (projected inventory)
• Prioritized On-Hand
• Prioritized demand (for planned available and prioritized On Hand)
• Released more important than planned
• Origin Field Service, Depot, Prev. Maintenance
• Time
• Optionally, the Service Activities can be shifted to the first material availability moment
• Outbound – order complete or activity complete
• To make sure that all material are issued together for 1 activity or 1 order

Demo• For existing orders, the material availability is checked
• Sufficient material for the first activities, shortage for the last activities
• 1 (later) order is released
• This order has now higher priority
• An earlier “planned” service order shows shortage now
• Released order shows no inventory shortage

Limitations / Out of scope• The material lines must have a Planned Inventory Transaction, otherwise
the material availability cannot be checked
• When the item is not configured in Enterprise Planning, the ATP cannot be checked from Service
• Other origins than LN Service (Service Orders, Work Orders, MSO part delivery etc) have a higher priority by default
• Customer owned inventory is excluded from the logic

Summary• Check the material availability
• Longer term : ATP
• Medium term: Planned Available (prioritized)
• Short term: Prioritized On-Hand (prioritized)
• Option to shift the activity to Material availability date
• Plan model:
• Plan employees first (e.g. work bench) and check whether materials are available
• Determine when material is available, then plan the employees to perform activity
