APO SNP demand reduction at Vendor location

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Need expert advice for a standard SNP Vendor planning in APO.

Setup- vendor location created in APO and volumes are maintained on  it.

When purchase orders are booked against vendor they are visible in APO under receiving location and under vendor correctly.

Receiving location under receipt  and vendor location under demand.

Shipping confirmation form Vendor is received in ECC, receiving location in APO shows quantity under Stock in transit (PO memo mapped) rightly

But Issue here APO vendor location still shows open demand,, no reduction of demand.

Thank  you in advance

With regards

Hi Vijay,

The demand will disappear when the products will be received in the storage location. However to be sure you can run consistency for your demand.

Hope that help.

Thanks.

Hi Marius

Thank,the demand will disappear after the product is received in storage location.

But challenge is intransit time is high and during that time double demand shown on supplying vendor location.

We don't see this issue on Repack vendor process (subcontract)

Any suggestions to check and correct?

Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay,

This is correct. The SNP heuristic will takes in consideration the stock in transit during the planning process. To be sure please check the macro (I will attach a screen shoot).

Hope that can help you.

Thanks.

Hi Marius

Macro 'Total receipt' is included with intransit and receiving location is properly includes it

But issue is at supply plant. Purchase order required qty open on 'Distribution demand (TLB confirmed).

Thank you

Hi Vijay,

Can you see the shipping document from your supplier in the planning book!

Hi Vijay,

Please check if you have active CIF integration model (ECC to APO) for Purch.Orders & Purch.Req at the two locations level. Also, for the transfer from APO to ECC you must have publications on APO side created for external procurement, shipment, delivery, etc.. 

I suppose that you have Tr.Lanes created between the two locations. For this Tr.Lanes you have to maintain means of transport (for example truck).

Please confirm.

I don't understand what you had to modify.

The Pur Req to the vendor created demand at the vendor.

When you convert the pur req into a PO thhe same situation exists.

When you perform an ASN, the PO qty becomes "intransit" qty at the destination.

The vendor should no longer have any demand as the PO no longer exists.

Hi Ken,

After the ASN , the PO quantity becomes Intransit qty at the receiving location, But the probem is PO is still open ( BI - Conrel)  at the vendor location as Demand ( TLB Confirmed ) until the goods receipt is complete which is weird. Especially when the transit time is more this will be a big problem for Plannning at the vendor location
