PP/DS PPM to SNP PPM with lotsize

Hai,

When performing these conversions from PP/DS PPM to SNP PPM, why do we use always only "without lot-size"? I understand that without lot-size means a dummy order. But what about "with lotsize"?

How about PDS, when transferred from ECC, do we get PP/DS PDS and then we need to convert them into SNP PDS?

Thank you.

Hi visu

We do not always use without lot size.

Without lot size margin is used when you have one individual lot size and only one mode combination in ppds ppm is to be converted

pl note you need to specify a lot size here too. The program converts by using a dummy order of this size

only fized consumptions and durations are generated by this method

Lot size margin is used when you have several PPMS and mode combinations to convert and have a order lot size. you can also determine how the variable and fixed consumptions are calculated in conversion

in this method, you also can set flags in the mode combinations to be converted(you will get one SNP PPM for each mode combination in ppds ppm) .

You have a larger numnber of control parameters to manage this. As far as i know this is the more commonly used method for conversion

Dont think you can convert PPDS PDS into SNP PDS. This is defined when you transfer from R3 (or generate from ippe). you generate DP PDS from SNP or PPDS PDS

Hai Harish,

Thanks for the reply. "DP PDS", why do we need PDS in DP?

a) For forecasting by Bill Of Material

b) In the Characteristic Based Forecasting scenario (PDS generated from iPPE).
