SNP Heuristic: Creation of purchase requisition

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

we face following problem: heuristic creates purchase orders when there is no source of supply.

Background:

there is a forecast demand for a location product on a customer location without transport lane to the production plant due to false master data.

The SNP heuristic generates purchase requisitions to fulfill the demand and there is no requirements shortage.

So it is hard to recognize which forecast demands can't be fulfilled.

Is there a parameter in material master or in a heuristic profie which disables the creation of purchase requisitions in snp heuristic when there is no source of supply.

If no purchase requisition is created there will be a requirement shortage which can be recognised by an alert.

Thanks for your help.

hi.

As per heuristic process , the system will create a purchase requisition if there are no Tlane exists and the material's procurement type is F/X since it is a infinite planning.

Now you can use a optimizer or CTM to restrict the system from creating purchase requisition.

Also you can try with location heuristic.

Hope this can help.
