Deployment Heuristics to consider demands of all other products in a Destination Location

[PK09]

Hi All,

We use user-defined fair share and push distribution for deployment planning.

Now we have an unique requirement, where deployment heuristic is to sum-up all other product demands in a destination location while planning product-by-product. Based on the limits we maintain for each destination location, we would like deployment to either confirm or not confirm deployment stock transfers along with our custom BadI's.

I am really not sure if this requirement can be handled by deployment heuristic particularly with the custom BadI's.

	Destination Location Demands
	Dest-1	Dest-2	Dest-3	Dest-4	Dest-5	TOTAL
Product-1	100	125	50	75	50	400
Product-2	50	75	200	100	150	575
Product-3	95	69	156	106	90	516
Product-4	56	89	77	85	145	452
Product-5	66	74	86	48	130	404
Product-6	123	110	99	68	125	525
TOTAL	490	542	668	482	690
Dest. Location Limit	500	500	700	500	500

From the table above, when deployment is planning for Product-1 and Dest-1, it has to look for all other products in this destination location and SUM all these demands for these products. Next deployment is to check for the Destination location limit maintained at the location level, if it has any limit then deployment must compare the total demand in the destination location with the destination location limit and confirm deployment stock transfers ONLY when the total demand of a destination location is above the destination location limit.

Based on this example the deployment heuristic should only plan/confirm stock transfers for Dest-2 and Dest-5 locations.

I appreciate if someone can share your experience or worked on similar requirements.

Thanks you all.

Hello Experts,

Please suggest if we can effectively implement the above requirements with deployment heuristic.

Any idea or workaround to handle this with deployment?
