Rejecting Cost prescriptions

Once you have run the Supply Chain Prescriptions algorithm on your Modeler scenarios, you will have prescriptions to either accept or reject. You can reject prescriptions in groups using rejection criteria that you establish. Rejected prescriptions are not included in exports to Modeler.

When you reject prescriptions, the Supply Chain Prescriptions algorithm will use this information the next time it is run to improve the prescriptions it suggests. The rejection criteria you specify will persist run over run, unless you delete the criteria. Rejection criteria from previous runs can be edit or deleted.

Rejecting prescriptions using rejection criteria

Access the page containing the type of prescriptions you want to reject.
Select the Set Rejection Criteria button at the top of the page.
The Rejection Criteria panel appears.
From the Type column, select the type of prescription. Choices are All, Node Skipping, Mode Switching, and Volume Consolidation.
From the Mode column, select a mode type.
Note: When Type is Volume Consolidation, the Mode can only be "All".
From the Criteria column, select a criteria. Choices are Cost Savings, Quantity, Volume, and Weight.
In the Threshold column, enter the value of the Criteria below which prescriptions should be rejected and press Enter. This value cannot be negative.
If you need to add more criteria, select Add Rejection Criteria.
When finished, select Apply.
A confirmation appears which indicates how many prescriptions are rejected. Select Continue. You can cancel if you feel you need to change your criteria.
The status column for any rejected prescriptions will now show "Rejected".

Delete rejection criteria

Deleting filters in a current run will revert the status of all prescriptions that matched that criteria from “Rejected” to “Unreviewed”. If the filter was created in a previous run, your next run will reinstate previously rejected prescriptions.

From the Rejection Criteria panel, select the checkbox to the left of any criteria that you want to delete.
Select Delete x Selected Records, where "x" is the number of selected rows.
When finished, select Apply.
A confirmation appears which indicates how many prescriptions will rejected based on the new criteria. Select Continue.
