Hi Gurus

I have a situation where the PPDS is creating one hundred 1pc order for a 100pc order.  The maximum lot is set a 0.000 and Min lot size is 1.000.Please point me what settings I have to check to resolve this. Thank you all in advance. appreciate your help

Hello Ganpath,

Try with Min lot size 1 and Maxim Lot size 100 or 1000.

Thanks.

Hi Marius

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like other components with the same configuration are not causing this issue. I was thinking it could be something else?

thanks again

Hi Ganpath,

From help you have a good explanation!

Thanks, Marius

Minimum Lot Size

Quantity in lot size unit
of measure that must not be fallen below during procurement.

Use

The system considers the minimum lot size as an additional constraint when
calculating lot sizes for orders. The lot
size of the individual orders is not allowed to be smaller than this
value.

Use in Supply Network Planning (SNP)

In heuristic-based
planning, this value specifies the minimum quantity for each order. The
minimum lot size specified at the production process model (PPM) only refers to
the validity of the PPM and does not overwrite the value given here.

In optimization-based
planning, this value specifies the minimum quantity in each order and
period. If this value is larger than the minimum lot size defined at the
PPM, the SNP optimizer takes into account the value given here, if not, it uses
the value from the PPM.

The deployment heuristic and the Transport Load Builder (TLB) do not take the
minimum lot size into account.

Dependencies

If the fixed lot size method is being used, the system ignores the
minimum lot size.

You have to choose the discrete optimization method in the SNP optimizer
profile and enter a discretization horizon in the Minimum PPM Lot Size
field of the Discrete Constraints tab page for the SNP optimizer to be
able to take into account the minimum lot size specified here.
