Stock transfer Horizon during Push deployment

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are running heuristics followed by Push Deployement.

Stock transfer horizon of 30 days is maintained in product master so during heursitcs it respect it and creating 1st receipt after 30 days.

When we run Push dpeloyemnt (Without real time check box) then system is creatign stock transfer within horizon.

I want to know whether deployment (or to be specif Push deployment) respects the Stock transfer Horizon or not?

Thanks for your help!

regards

Hi Yogesh,

By default, stock transfers consider the stock transfer horizon defined at destination location. If you need to consider the horizon defined at source, set the corresponding field in the model and version management (/SAPAPO/MVM). 

SAP has not mentioned anywhere that the deployment heuristics engine considers SNP stock transfer horizon in confirmed distribution planning. It checks only ATD quantities, push and pull distribution horizons, and deployment horizon.

If you use deployment optimizer, the planning engine consider the SNP stock transfer horizon only if the corresponding field is set (depl. optimizer profile -> integration -> horizons -> SNP Stock Trans Horizon).

If you have access to SAP internal notes, you can check Note# 1812319
Transportation orders within the stock transfer horizon

Thanks,
Rajesh

Are you talking deployment optimizer or heuristics?

SNP Heuristics deployment doesn't create stock transfers.  SNP Heuristics simply uses the stock transfers created by SNP to create deployment stock transfers.  So not sure why it should consider the stock transfer horizon since SNP Heuristics already did.

Hi Snyder,

Thanks for your reply!

We are using deployment heuristics (without real time deployment indicator)

with Push deployment, system overwrites (in fact recreates) stock transfer based on supply available at source location. Does it consider stock transfer horizon during this process?

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for your reply!

I do not have access to SAP inyternal notes, could you please send me details mentioned in note

Hi Yogesh,

I too don't have access to SAP internal notes. However, deployment heuristics considers ATD Issues, ATD Receipts, push and pull horizons, dist demands in time-phased manner.

Pl let me know in which side of the stock transfer horizon (source or destination) the STR falls.

Thanks,

Hi Rajesh,

STR is faling in stock transfer horizon at destination location.

Thanks

Hi Yogesh,

As mentioned earlier, heuristics can only consider the stock transfer horizon. By default, the heuristics planning engine will use the stock transfer horizon defined at destination location. However, you can configure the system to consider the horizon of source location in model and version maintenance (/sapapo/mvm). Pl verify your version configuration settings.

Thanks,
Rajesh

Hii Yogesh,

Stock Transfer Horizon is maintained in Destination locations, and when you will run heuristic at destination location it'll create Pur Req after STH.

But Deployment happens at source location, we deploy stock from Source to destination location. So it will not concern with destination STH.

And we normally don't maintain any STH at production plant. But yes we maintain STH for Central DC/ warehouse. Still Deployment is nothing to do with that STH.

You said you are using Normal Deployment Heuristics w/o real time.

So why should it consider the STH.   The purpose of deployment is to ship the product when it is time.  SNP Heuristics already considered the STH.  But in time, the str falls w/in the STH and eventually it becomes time to ship the product.  So deployment basically takes the STR heuristics created and converts it into a deployment STR.  If it considered the STH it would be like normal Heuristics but simply allowing fair share?

Hii Snyder,

The Deployment only considers the deployment horizon maintained in SNP2 tab of product master,

As you are mentioned you are using Push deployment. So i hope may be you are using P or X

If you using strategy P( PUll/PUSH) it covers

• The entire supply is distributed immediately to the demand locations to cover all demand within the pull deployment horizon.

If you are using strategy X( Push by Demand)

• the entire supply is distributed immediately to the demand locations for the entire planning horizon .

So both are irrespective of STH. if you want to system do only deployment within STH, and using X then that of no use , because it deploys for entire horizon.

yes  if you want to system do only deployment within STH and using P then maintain the same horizon in Pull deployment horizon .

Hope this clarifies your query.
