Delivery creation/change triggers heuristic run

[Former Member]

Hi all

We use planning procedure '3' "Cover Dependent Requirements Immediately" for finished goods in our distribuition centers. In the event: "Create or Change a Sales Order", we have the action: "Start Product Heuristic Immediately" which leads to my two questions:

1. When a sales order delivery is created/changed, heuristic is also triggered. Is there anyway to avoid this for deliveries (should still work for sales orders)?

2. When heuristic is triggered due to sales order creation/changes, new stock transport requisitions created by heuristics are automatically ATP checked and confirmed in the supplying plant. When heuristic is triggered due to sales order delivery creation/change, new stock transport requisitions are not ATP checked... How come?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Dan,

If you are using MTS scenario, then Sales Order is business event "A" while Delivery is business event "B". In case of MTO, these will be AE and BE. For check instruction of your Check mode and Business event for delivery (B or BE), remove production. Use option "Availability check only, No Production" in Check Instruction.

This will solve your first problem.

Again, for solving 2nd issue, check Product Availability Check for ATP group and business event for Delivery. Check Control and Scope of check decide which receipts and requirements should be considered.

Both these settings are in GATP customizing.

Hi Bipin

1) We run MTS and the cheking instructions for deliveries already have the setting "Availability check only, No Production" so this does not solve the issue.

2) The issue is not the ATP for deliveries, the question is why are the stock transport requisitions created by CTP not ATP checked when this is triggered by delivery creation/change?

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Dan
