Using Location substitution for Calculating RDD

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Need your expert opinion on the below requirement-

Business has Requirement where they want to calculate only RDD based on location substitution and do not want to substitute plant in the Order.

Assume that there are 3 locations A, B and C. Order is created for a material on Plant A.

Now system should first check ATP quantity(At Plant A) to confirm the orders,

if Order is still unconfirmed/partially confirmed it should check the future receipts( This can be taken care by Calculation profile delay) ,

if it is still not confirmed it should check Location B for confirmation and then future receipts on Plant B.

If still order is not fully confirmed it should check at Location C and then at future receipts coming to location C.

Now here the requirement is only to update the RDDs of the schedule lines and not the plant.

It means in Sales order we need to show Plant A on all the schedule lines but RDD will be calculated based on the above logic.

Can you tell me if this can be achieved by standard RBA functionality ? If yes, please tell me details.

Thanks,

Mohit

There is an option for consolidation location while creating the rule, have you tried that ?
