Hi Jigar,

The question is not clear with respect to the process. Is it the first time you noticed such difference?

Assuming you use SNP planning and deployment functions, if there are receipts and your deployment uses push rules, then there is a possibility to have such a big order. So, verify the pull and push deployment horizons, fair share and push rules (t.code /sapapo/mat1 - tab SNP2), lot size, rounding profiles (t.code /sapapo/mat1 - tab lot size), and stock on hand as well as target stock levels (available in the SNP planning book).

Consider posting a snapshot of your SNP planning book data view showing the demand and supply situation (/sapapo/sdp94) and product view (/sapapo/rrp3).

Thanks,

Dear Rajesh,

In SNP demand Profile we have pull horizon of 1 days and in supply profile we have push horizon of 7 days, and we use fare share B rule as deployment profile.

this not for the first time i have noticed such huge allocation. not only for this product but also many other cases are there.

i actually want to know, how system calculates it logic while deployment having stock at factory , stock at depot, demand (which was very less in this case)...but still very high allocation happebed.

Rajesh, pls provide me additional info to find otut the reason for the same...

Hi Jigar,

Since you did not mention about push distribution rule, I assume it's pull. Based on the other settings, the system should supply respecting the demands in two daily time buckets with the receipts from 7 daily buckets.

I am not sure about the target stock settings (t.code /sapapo/mat1 - Lot size tab - Quantity and date determination tab). Based on fair share rule B, it will also influence the deployment functionality.

Please check the following post on examples of different deployment rules. I hope that will help in understanding the impact of deployment rules and how the system calculates deployment quantity.
