Period lot sizing using planning calelndar in SNP-TLB

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Is there a period-lot-sizing procedure according

to a planning calendar which can be used in the

Transport Load Builder? (If you for instance want

deliveries from a certain vendor to take place only

on Mondays)

Iu2019ve noticed that there is a periodic lot sizing profile, K,

in the product location master data but it doesnu2019t seem

to work as described above.

I know itu2019s possible to use the period factor to

define where in the week a requisition is

placed but the TLB-run doesnu2019t consider

these dates when creating TLB-shipments.

Is it possible to influence the delivery

date during the TLB-run without doing it

manually? How is the delivery date calculated

during the TLB-run?

Do you know if there is a badi I can use to change

the suggested delivery date in the TLB-run?

Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Best regards Lisa

Hi Lisa,

The phemonan is common because several customers want the delivery on particular date/day/time.

The best way to do it is to write the specific macro. Because for the same product you could have 10(say) customers with 10 fixed day/date. Then you can't use the different time series.

I have used previously the same concept of Macro/Alerts for deployment and TLBs.

Suppose your system is proposing the dquantity for tlb on Wednesday and Customer needs to be on Monday. Then you have to write the macro either for Day(wednesday)+5 or simply execute only for monday with delayed run(not a good practice).

Please let me know if you need further clarification.
