Procurement priority in Transportation lane is not respected-SNP Heuristics

[Former Member]

Hi All,

     I am trying to model a scenario where there are two mfg plants supplying one DC , like plant A supplies to DC1 until Oct 31st 2013 &  from November both  plant A & B also can supply to DC1. 

    Here one of the transportation lane(Plant A --> DC1) is created thru Special procurement key , which is valid from 01/01/1970 to 12/31/9999 and the other one(Plant B --> DC1) is created manually using /sapapo/scc_tl1 which is valid from 11/01/2013 to 12/31/999.  My requirement is from November I want the new tlane((Plant B --> DC1)) to take priority over the old one (Plant A --> DC1) . So this is how i have defined my TLANEs.

PLant A --> DC1

01/01/1970

12/31/9999

Proc. Priority : 20

Created thru SPK

PLant B --> DC1

11/01/2013

12/31/9999

Proc. Priority : 10

Created Manually

When I run SNP heuristics , always the t.lane with priority 20(which was created thru SPK) gets selected. all my purchase requisition on November month are from Plant A.

1) Does system gives preference between tlanes created manually / thru SPK ?? Any idea why my new Tlane is not getting picked up ??There are no costs defined in both lanes.

2) Do i need quota arrangements to model this scenario ?

Rgds,

Hi Kirupakaran,

The issue is caused due to the validity of source of supply, you have the demand in November and also the high priority T-lane is valid from November . Considering the Lead time the order start might fall in October and the highest priority T-Lane is valid at that time.

Change the T-lane validity start time and check again.

Hi Thamizh,

Thanks for your reply, the issue is resolved now, it was due to inconsistency in Tlanes, My bad I didnt notice that.

Thanks,

Kiru
