PPDS PDS selection based on plant and shipping point in sales order

[former_member298549]

Dear all The client has the following requirement Sales order 1234 Delivering plant A, shipping point C Sales order 5678 Deliveirng plant B, shipping point D For sales order 1234 with deliveirng plant A, shiping point C combination, the PPDS PDS selected should be ´0001´ For sales order 5678 which has a different delivering plant and shipping point combination the PPDS PDS selected should be ´0002´. Can somebody please explain how to realize this? Peter

Hi Peter,

If you have a sales order for a material X in delivering plant A and another sales order for same material X in delivering plant B itself means that you would have separate PPDS PDS for both plants.

This means you will create BOM & routing along with production version in plant A and CIF PPDS PDS to APO. Likewise you will create BOM and routing (along with PV) in plant B and CIF PPDS PDS to APO with your integration model.

Now if you receive a sales order in plant A, automatically PPDS PDS in plant A would be exploded. Same is applicable for plant B. Shipping point is assigned to plant which anyways is different in both plants which have already exploded PDS accordingly.

I hope this resolves your query. If yes please follow else mention your concern.

Apologies. I described the wrong scenario. The delivering plant will be the same. The shipping points define if the goods will be shipped by train or by truck. It should be: Sales order 1234 Delivering plant A, shipping point B Sales order 5678 Delivering plant A, shipping point C For sales order 1234 with delivering plant A, shipping point B combination, the PPDS PDS selected should be ´0001´ For sales order 5678 with delivering plant A and shipping point combination the PPDS PDS selected should be ´0002´. Can somebody please explain how to realize this? I do not think there is standard PPDS functionality available to accomplish this. Peter

Hi Peter,

To best of my knowledge you can't influence selection of PDS on the basis of shipping point.

But just thinking out loud I suppose you want to do this coz if shipping point B is selected you want to use different routing and if C then want to use another routing.

From planning prospect (i.e. automatically selected w.r.t. shipping point) seems difficult but from execution purpose i.e. converting planned order to production order you can always select relevant production version (you also need to consider scheduling and all while changing production version).

I hope this helps.

Hi Rahul

Thanks. The reason why a different PDS should be selected for the shipping points is because shipping by truck or by rail will have different costs. The costs will be captured by the recipes.

I think the following should happen:

When running a PPDS heuristics, the heuristic should ´read´ the shipping point from the sales order in APO, lets say shipping point ´B´..

In the description of the PDS the ´shipping point code´ can be maintained, e.g. ´B´. All PPDS planned orders which are pegged to this sales order should include the PDS with shipping point ´B´.  Adopting manually the right PDS for each PPDS planned order is not an option.

If somebody knows how this could be accomplished, please explain.

Peter,

I am not clear with below. Why would you maintain shipping cost in recipe? Shouldn't you use standard process of shipment and capture cost accordingly (go through the below links). Could be I am missing something here, please highlight.

Hi Peter,

Try to separate the two PDSs into two MRP Area (e.g. B and C). For each MRP area create two separate storage location (B & C) from where you will ship the products.

In the SO you have to mention the storage location B or C (from MRP Area). When you ship through SP - B or C you pick the products from storage location B or C.

Hi Peter

Hence operations are happening at different plant location then obivously PDS would be mantain individually  as suggested By Rahul

If your having multiple resources in single plant then assign BOM routing as per the resources  and mantain priorities for Production version .
