SC Navigator 24.10.1

Date August 20, 2024

• New Features

  • A new attribute has been added to the Supplier, Supplier Product, Warehouse, Warehouse Product and Production sheets: Open As Group. This attribute allows you, in multi-period models, to indicate that the entity needs to be open or closed for the complete period. There are two benefits compared to how it could be done previously: It it easier to specify and it leads to faster performance.

• Improvements

  • The documentation has been restructured for easier navigation.

  • Data Validation will raise an error when the input data includes demand for a product that has no available supply, production, or opening inventory.

  • For some of the rate card data validations, the maximum number of detailed data validation messages has been set to 10000 in order to limit time spent on data validation.

  • In the Node Type filters, all customer groups are now by default colored with color “Customer Default”. The color of the groups can still be changed on the ‘Customize Nodes’ dialog page that you can open from the Map widget action ‘Customize Nodes’.

• Bug Fixes

  • On page Results - End to End, the direct transport lanes (from supplier to customer) were not visible on the map.

  • When running the infeasibility analysis for a model with multi-step suppliers that do not have capacities specified, the warning message “A problem occurred during the optimization” could appear.

  • When running the infeasibility analysis for a model with customers that have attribute Maximum # of Source Locations set, the message “No solution found - The model is still infeasible” could appear. Now, this constraint is also handled properly in the Infeasibility Analysis.

  • For curly production group data, previously the app raised a data validation warning if any step in the individual productions had missing availability data. However, it should only need the availability data for the first step.

  • In some rare situations, a dataset saved with the previous version of SC Navigator, could no longer be loaded. This has been fixed in this new version of SC Navigator, but it requires you to save the dataset again, from the template.

  • With this release a new version of Inventory Planning is released as well. In the Inventory Planning app, when exporting a scenario, the Work in Progress data is now saved to the data lake as well.
