Enable Time-Phased ROP
Use these instructions to enable the Time-Phased ROP Order Policy in your installation of Servigistics.
* 
Contact your PTC Technical Consultant to assist with enabling the Time-Phased ROP feature.
1. Verify that the OP_TIME_PHASED_ROP_ENABLE global setting is set to true.
2. Verify the following settings on the Ordering Parameters page:
a. Define the number of days to generate orders on the Days To Generate Orders setting.
b. Set Allow Upchain Excess Transfer to Yes, All locations.
c. Specify the horizon for the Time Series Grid container by setting the Forecast Horizon Days parameter to a specific value or use the Use Max LT option and specify the Max Auto Horizon.
* 
All SKUs in a group of associated parts (GAP) must generate orders for the same number of days.
• For a given GAP, the longest specified days to generate orders is used.
• If the Days To Generate Orders setting is not specified, the number of days will be 1 (today).
When using the Time-Phased Safety Stock Order Policy, the Days To Generate Orders setting is not the same as the planning horizon. The planning horizon includes the last day for orders to be available. The actual last order date would be the planning horizon minus the lead time days.
• If the procurement lead time is 6 months and the Forecast Horizon Days is 365 days, the Days To Generate Orders equivalent would be 6 months.
• Setting Days To Generate Orders to the horizon value will increase the actual ordering horizon. You may want to choose something less that considers lead times.
3. Configure the Central Streams for downstream replenishments of Internal Demand Forecast.
Select the Count In Order Plan check box on the Forecast Streams page for all internal streams.
4. Configure the following global settings:
