New products added to Tlane - improper results after PPDS run

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

We are using PPDS for our planning. Here the question is:

for example we have two products P1 and P2 for which Tlane is maintained between L1 to L2 two years back. also means of transport miantained for all products two years back.

with these settings PPDS creates Preq from L1 to L2 for prodcuts P1 and P2.

Now we have added two more products P3 and P4 to existing Tlane whcih is L1 to L2.

we didn't change menas of transport since which is valid for all prodcuts.

Now what is happening is after PPDS run system is creating Preqs for old products P1 and P2 properly.

but it is not creating Preqs for P3 and P4 correctly.(creating Preqs for unknown source)

we have checked all other master data for new products and ensured that they are exactly same as old proructs.

Is there any inconsistency in Tlane for newly added products?. If so please advice how to check it.

or any thing we are missing?

Please advice what could be the reason.

Krish,

From the message you have stated, vendor and product link is not established.

Check if you have maintained Purchase InfoRecords for the Products P1&P2, and i think if you maintain purchase inforecords for P3&P4 and create integraton model this problem will be solved.

Hope this helps.

Thank you all for your resoponse.

the problem is resolved. for new prodcuts P3 and P4 we forgot to maintain min and max lot size valeus

in Tlane. after maintaing the Lotsize values in Tlane the PPDS created PRs for new products.

Hi Tho,

In which location you have created P3 & P4 ? Is it the start location of the Tlane? Is the material extended in the destination location too?

Hi,

As SB rightly said, please check whether your new products are defined in both the locations. After that you reinitialize your planning area for that planning version.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. products are maintained at both the locations. start location is L2 (vendor) and end location is L1 (plant).

whenever you make changes in the master data its always good practice to run a consistency check, please make sure you have run the consistency check and also check if you have maintained correct procurement type in the product master at both locations.

If nothing works, please create a manual order in Product view to check if the system is picking correct source of supply.
