Source Location in SNP Heuristics - Planning Run

[Former Member]

hi,

I am trying to execute a Planning Run for Manufacturing Location -> Depot model. The scenario is that a depot D1 can be supplied from 2 manufacturing locations ( M1 and M2 ).

Transportation lanes have been maintained as M1 -> D1 and M2 -> D1.

Stocks are available in both M1and M2.

When I take the planning run ( /sapapo/snp01 ), a purchase requistion is being created only from M1 ; M2 is not being considered as a source location.

Can anyone give some inputs on the same.

regards,

Hi! Anirudh,

SNP hueristic run on a standard logic in priority basis.

1) First it looks wheather quota is defined or not. if it finds an inbound quota it will create a purchase req to that location

2) if quota is not defined it looks for lane priorities defined

3) if there no lane priority it looks at per ton means of transport.

Please revert in case of any doubt

hi,Vaibhav!

Thanks for your inputs....lane prioritisation worked.

Hi Anirudha,

As your scenario is heuristics, in heuristics there is no hard and fast rule

to create PR on a specified location.

Still, if you need to create PR on specified location, it has to be accompanied

by certain priorities mentioned in transportation lane, quota, PPM or PDS

data, resource etc., which system will considers. If not, system will

assume its own priority.

Hi Anirudha,

Kindly check the lead time difference between M1->D1 and M2->D2. Initially plan will be generated for which the lead time is less. After that SNP heuristic will generate PR randomly. If u have specified T-lane priority or Quota , it will follow that.
