Deployment rules to confirm higher demand first and then smaller quantities

[PK09]

Hi All,

Right now i am not aware of standard Deployment rules either fair share or push distribution that will sort the demands at the DC in a descending order and confirm the higher demand first and then smaller demands.

For e.g.

Plant (ATD Quantity) : 2000

DC1: 450

DC2: 1050

DC3: 500

After executing the deployment heuristics the ATD quantity should be confirmed/deployed in the following order without splitting the demand quantities.

DC2: 1050

DC3: 500

DC1: 450

Any ideas or thoughts to share from this community for this particular requirement is greatly appreciated.

Hi PK,

Push or pull deployment strategies depends upon your business requirement.

To Distribute the ATD respective to your DCs please try assigning the Fair share as D in Product Location master, AND assign the Distribution priority in the outgoing TLANES (source Location - may be the plant in your case) for your DCs as below.

DC2 - Priority 1

DC3 - Priority 2

DC1 - Priority 3

For the product only after fulfilling the demands of DC3, DC2 demands will be processed then DC1.

IF you have enough ATD to fulfill all the DCs demands then above may work for you.

OR

If your deployment should work completely based on demand (largest demand should completely filled before going for the next location) even when the Supply < Demand then you've to work with Fair Share Rule X (User Defined) and PUSH Deployment Ú.

Check these Badi's for the same

/SAPAPO/SDP_DISTR  for Push distribution

/SAPAPO/FS_USER  for Fair share.

Hi Vinoth,

Thanks for your response.

I thought of using priorities in the fair share but my concern is..if the demand quantities at DC change the priorities in the TLanes will not be updated automatically.

DC2: 1050 - Tlane Priority 1

DC3: 500 - Tlane Priority 2

DC1: 450 - Tlane Priority 3

What if the demand quantities at DC change to the following quantities.The priorities assigned earlier in the Tlanes will still be considered for deployment using fair share rule "D".

DC2: 500 ---------   Tlane Priority 1 ?

DC3: 850 ---------  Tlane Priority 2 ?

DC1: 650 ---------  Tlane Priority 3 ?

Is there any way that deployment is to check/sort demands at the DC's and fulfill demand with higher quantities first and then smaller quantities with the standard deployment logic.

This settings will work fine when you've enough supplies in your ATD, in your case if it has supplies >= 2000 even when the demand changes across the distribution priority.. But it won't work when ATD supply < Denand.

SInce fair share meant for sharing the supplies when shortage occurs it's not possible to deploy based on highest demand ( completely to one destination )

youve option of rule A which distribute based on demand at destination but again it will distribute proportionally and not completely to highest demand first.

youve to go with user defined 'X' type of Fair Share with your own logic.
