✯ New planning module in ALIX - part 2

1. Now a new option is available under the planning section to have an overview of your needs for all your items. The recommendations provided by the tool will be based on the parameters defined in the item planning section. If no parameter has been entered, the default strategy will be to notify if the item net flow over time drops below zero. This is the basic scenario for 100% "make/buy to order".
2. The information presented will give you the net flow of your items over time based on upcoming events such as sales, purchases, production and consumption.
   
3. In the upper corner of the table, it will be possible to modify the scope (by plant or global) and the planning horizon as you wish. All future events outside the horizon will be excluded from the calculations in order to have an accurate planning of your needs.
   
4. A configuration is available under the project section to choose the default planning horizon in number of calendar days.
   
   
5. The line item can be expanded to see details of future events to explain the result of the top line.
   
6. Color coding is used to represent items needing attention. The grid is sorted to have the item that requires attention on the top row. Here is a short definition:
1. The red zone corresponds to the need to take imminent action, because the item's net flow is below the safety stock or even below zero.
2. The yellow area corresponds to the area under the control point. A purchase order or production order should be planned soon.
3. The green area corresponds to the area under control and requires no foreseeable action within the current planning horizon.
   
7. The next step is to add, directly in the planning grid, the actions to plan production and purchase orders. This will follow in the next few days.
