Recommendations appear in one of these five categories (or tabs): Expedite Buy Orders. Expedite Planned Orders. Expedite Transfer Orders. Add Resource Availability, and Add Supplier Capacity.

When you accept an expedite recommendation, the order is firmed by using the expedite date as the firm date. So when the plan is run after accepting the recommendation, the planning process assumes the supply is available on the firm date.

Be aware that recommendations to expedite buy orders not only include purchase orders and requisitions, but also planned buy orders.

To maximize effort, use the Recommendations Summary graph and aim for a low number of recommendations with the associated at-risk demand value substantial enough to make a difference in demand fulfillment percentage.
