What is SUPPLY PLAN DISTRIBUTION DEMAND(PLANNED)

In the PAST periods, I am seeing SUPPLY PLAN DISTRIBUTION RECEIPT(PLANNED) w/o SUPPLY PLAN DISTRIBUTION DEMAND(PLANNED)

Can any help understand the reason

Thanks,

Hi,

Distribution demand :

Stock transfers that are generated during the SNP planning process.The distribution demand shows the supplying location's view of these stock transfers.

Planned distribution demand: This refers to the SNP stock transfers that are generated during the SNP run.

Confirmed distribution demand: This refers to the deployment stock transfers that are generated during the deployment run.

TLB-confirmed distribution demand: This refers to the TLB shipments that are generated during the TLB run.

The "Distribution Demand (MRP Area)" is a special case. It includes stock transfer reservations generated during the SNP run for stock transfers for which at least one location is an MRP area.

Distribution receipts:

Stock transfers that are generated during the SNP planning process. The distribution receipt shows the receiving location's view of these stock transfers.

Planned distribution receipt: This refers to the SNP stock transfers that are generated during the SNP run.

Confirmed disribution receipt: This refers to the deployment stock transfers that are generated during the deployment run.

TLB-confirmed distribution receipt: This refers to the TLB shipments that are generated during the TLB run.

The "Distribution Receipt (MRP Area)" is a special case. It includes stock transfer reservations generated during the SNP run for stock transfers for which at least one location is an MRP area.

Thanks,

Hi

I hope you would have got an idea about distribution demand and receipt from Nandha's explanation. To add to that , the reason you may be seeing distribution receipts in the past without any distribution demand could be because you may have a macro or background job that deletes that distribution demand elements that occur in the past. Also the receipts should vanish when you run the heuristic .
