A new home for the Coupa Supply Chain documentation
Starting with Supply Chain 42, our documentation will be located on Coupa Compass. The help here will continue to be accessible for the foreseeable future, but will no longer be updated. If you need a Compass user account, contact your company’s Designated Support Contact (DSC).
You can access new and updated Supply Chain documentation in the following location on Compass:

Running prescriptions
Once you have created your project, you need to run the Supply Chain Prescriptions algorithm on your Modeler scenarios. See Supply Chain Prescriptions workflow for the Supply Chain Prescriptions user workflow.
You need to have the Business User role to be able to run prescriptions. Contact your administrator if you need this role.
Before you can run the Supply Chain Prescriptions algorithms, the Modeler model/scenario used by the project needs the Network Optimization and Cost to Serve Analysis problem types run on it in Modeler. You can also run the "NO and CTS Analysis" problem type to run both on your scenario(s) at once.
For Network Risk, running the Risk algorithm also automatically exports the prescriptions to Modeler. When you
accept a network, you can choose to delete the scenarios that were not accepted.
Supply Chain Prescriptions stores up to five prescription runs per user for each solve type. Over time, as you perform more runs, the size of the data within the database will grow accordingly. A single run can add millions of records in a few tables depending on the size of the input SCGM model. Without purging old prescriptions, this can cause issues with available disk space and with the speed of data retrieval.
