Subcontracting Stock PP/DS run

[Former Member]

Hello,

if i run in our system the product heuristic the subcontracting stock is taken into account as normal free to use stock.

But this stock is at the subcontractor site so it should not be taken into account.

Is it possible to exclude this from the PP/DS run?

kind regards,

Bernhard

Stock at subcontractor location by default gets assigned the category "CE" . I have not worked on PP/DS , but if you want to exclude category " CE" stock from planning run all you have to do is go to the category group ST1 in config and remove CE from that configuration.

Then the initial stock will not include subcontracting stock as component and hence subcon stock will not be considered by PP/Ds planning run. I said u have to make the change in category group ST1 . This statement is valid only if you have not assigned any category group to the location in question. If the location has category group then u have to make this change in that category group.

But please be advised that this change is going to impact ALL YOUR MATERIALS .

Thanks
