Rayal, it's hard to answer your question based on the information you provide.

I would check your push and pull horizons. What you are looking for is there demand inside your pull horizon against which you can deploy the stock you have on hand?

Also check your stock categories that you have as available to deploy or availbale to receipt. It would be unusual not to have stock deployed - but maybe your stock is restricted use and not in your ATD category?

Good luck,

Chris

Rayal, you might find it helpful to read the standard SAP help on deplyment:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_apo/helpdata/en/9c/1f7211305a11d3b6270000e82de178/content.htm

There are links to the master data setup which you will need.

The way we run deployment is demand from a the DC is pointed to a source plant through a p.req (that requires a transportation lane).

The Push and pull horizons are set to the periods in which either the stock at the source is required to be pushed or requirement at the DC is required to be pulled. The consideration here is you may not want to push stock to the DC if there is no requirement and perhaps only then x days ahead of time.

The procurement type E will default to planned orders. You have to get demand to appear in the source location, so that implies a transportation lane which define the source for demand element. P.reqs are most usual but I think you can do this with planned orders and a special procurement key. It makes sense. If you specifiy made in-house then the system does not pass that demand to another site nwhich you will need to make deployment work.

The categories which are available for deployment (ATD) receipt can be configured but defaults to ATI. If you wanted planned orders to be included in the ATD issue (demand elements) you would have to configure another category group. I'm not sure what a deployed/confrimed planned order looks like, somehow that has to become a distribution order. I would start with p.reqs and gain an understanding of how deplyment works.

Remember you deploy from the source location. That is where deployment should be run.

Good luck,

Chris
