Continue to use deprecated master planning with existing companies

Starting in Supply Chain Management version 10.0.41, the deprecated master planning engine is blocked for all new legal entities (companies) added to existing deployments. There's no manual way to enable the deprecated master planning engine for these companies. However, existing companies can continue to use the deprecated master planning engine until they're ready to migrate.

Companies where planning processes are disabled

Starting with release 10.0.32, you must install the Planning Optimization Add-in before you can enable planning processes, even if you plan to continue using the deprecated master planning engine. If the company where you want to use deprecated master planning has planning processes disabled, follow the steps in this section to enable them.

When you try to set Disable all planning processes to No on the Master planning parameters page without the Planning Optimization Add-in installed, you receive one of the following error messages:

To enable all planning processes please first follow these instructions https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2219798 Then, return to this page and enable the parameter.

or

All planning processes are disabled. Please enable planning processes to continue.

To resolve this error and enable planning processes, follow these steps:

1. Make sure Planning Optimization is installed and enabled as described in Get started with master planning. This step is mandatory starting with release 10.0.32, even if you don't intend to use Planning Optimization.
2. Make sure Planning Optimization is enabled on the Planning Optimization parameters page.
3. Enable planning processes for the relevant company by setting Disable all planning processes to No, on the Master planning parameters page.
