Hi,

In following scenario it works

• There are many constraints in the environment (production, storage, inventory, etc..)

• Alternative product locations and suppliers

• Customers can wait for orders

• Resources can be shared

In one of our client's company was very focused on prioritization of demand. This is a perfect fit for CTM. Different groups of customers can be run in batches so that the lower priority customers are allocated inventory after the higher priority customers. This of course requires hard pegging. However, it also means that oftentimes a lower priority customer will lose inventory to a higher priority customer even if the lower priority customer placed their order far in advance of the higher priority customer. Heuristics can not recognize customer priorities.

For more details of CTM settings, Please refer CTM Building Block.
