1. Define a lot size range in your guidelines [Project managers]

You can now define a guideline with a lot size range by setting:

• a minimum lot size
• a maximum lot size
• an optional increment size

The system then computes lots whose size falls within the defined range. When the optional increment size is specified, lot sizes must be multiples of that increment, starting from the minimum size.

To access these size settings, click the Advanced preset, as shown in the screenshot below.

Once a maximum size or an increment size has been defined, the Guideline view will automatically open in advanced mode next time, exposing the columns Max size and Increment size.

Covered use cases examples
Here are some examples of use cases that can be covered with this new functionality:

• Single size
  • e.g Min Size = 100, Max Size and Increment size not set
  • => only lots of size 100 can be recommended
• All sizes between Min Size and Max Size
  • e.g Min Size = 100, Max Size = 200, Increment size not set
  • => All sizes between 100 and 200 can be recommended (e.g 142)
• 2 arbitrary sizes
  • e.g Min Size = 251, Max Size = 729, Increment size = 478 (i.e. 729 – 251)
  • => a lot of size 251 or 729 only could be recommended
• 3 arbitrary* sizes
  • e.g Min Size = 251, Max Size = 729, Increment size = 250
  • => a lot of size 251, 501 or 729 only could be recommended
  • *this only works if the increment size is >= to half of the interval
• Many interval sizes
  • e.g Min Size = 100, Max Size = 200, Increment size = 30
  • => Lots of size 100, 130, 160, 190 and 200 can be recommended

Known limitation
This feature relies on a heuristic, so in some situations the solution may be suboptimal.

2. Improved expiry evaluations [Project managers]

Expiry evaluations have been improved for complex product chains, especially when multiple upstream products or processes have different shelf‑life rules.

This change:

• Fixes incorrect expiry evaluations in these complex chains.
• Reduces false allocation blocks and incorrect demand misses.
• Makes project prediction results more reliable for scenarios involving mixed stability plans

3. Production overview charts in the project Excel report [Project managers]

The Prediction project Excel result template has been enhanced by adding a new Production overview section. It includes overview charts derived from existing production and allocation data.

4. Enhancements & Fixes

• [Change] Cockpit generation has been optimized to improve rendering efficiency, especially on dense views. This reduces cockpit loading and interaction time while keeping the same functional behavior as before.
• [Change] Project scenario live recomputation is now paused while importing demands from a trial and restored afterwards. This makes demand imports more stable and faster as it avoids unnecessary recomputation during the import process.
• [Fix] Lots that do not have a valid mapping are now prevented from being imported into the project during demand import.
• [Change] The way synchronization status is computed for project, trial data, and trial plan views has been optimized. This improves responsiveness of the synchronization UI, especially on large scenarios with many lots, demands, and allocations, and provides faster updates of the global sync badges. In particular, the action of exporting to the project master is now much faster.
