Hello Everyone,
I need suggestion/help on following scenario....
Destination has demand/forecast in two different weeks. (10 Qty One in October 2015 & another 15 Qty in February 2016).
After heuristic at destination location, distribution demand (SNP:Rel.PR in //RRP3) is generating at source location for the above said two weeks.
To convert these SNP:Rel.PR's to SNP planned orders, I'm running heuristic at source location.
After heuristic at source location, the SNP:Rel.PR's are getting converted to SNP planned order but the two quantities are getting clubbed to 25 & only one SNP planned order is generated.
How to make the orders remain individual & not combined.
I checked //MAT1 SNP2 & lot size tab settings. It is lot for lot & no min lot size defined for the product at both of the locations.
Does PP/DS Plg Time Fence/SNP Product Horizon/PP/DS Horizon has influence in combining the orders?
Please suggest.
Regards.
Hi,
What is the demand situation at your source location? Are the two demands at the same period or different period (means if you're using monthly period, are they in the same month)? In which period does SNP heuristic put the planned order? Later than both demands or ... ?
SNP planning is a bucket based planning instead of order-based planning, which means it only check supply shortage for each bucket (period), and create ONE order for all the demands in the same period.
If it cannot create procurement order for one period (may due to planning horizon or lead time), it sums the demand to future period, and until it finds a period where order can be placed, it creates ONE planned order for all the summed up demands.
It is not possible to make them individual with SNP heuristic planning. If you want to match (peg) demands and receipts separatedly, you should consider CTM planning.

Ada

Hi Vinoth & Ada,
Thank you for your replies.
Here are the answers to your questions.....
1. How long is your SNP planning horizon - Executing planning interactively & TB profile IN PB is 156 weeks
2. SNP Prod Horizon - 26 weeks from Sunday at source
3. PP/DS Plng Time Fence - 70 days at source
4. Lot Sizing - Lot for lot at source & destination
5. Planning period - Weekly
6. Demands are in two different periods. One in week 42 of 2015 & other in week 5 of 2016
7. Lead time - 22 days
8. In which period does SNP heuristic put the planned order? - The second demand which is on week5 of 2016
Below screen snaps FYR.
RRP3 view at destination - After heuristic at destination
RRP3 view at Source - After heuristic at destination
RRP3 view at Source - After heuristic at Source (only 1 planned order)
Hope this clarifies.
Thank You!
Hi Shaiz,
I believe the heuristics is creating the order outside your SNP Prod Horizon (26 weeks), which is
Assumption
Aug 3 week (24 weeks below)
Sep 4 W
Oct 4 W
Nov 4 W
Dec 4 W
Jan 4 W
Feb 1 W
Since both of your requirement dates looks to be inside the Prod Horizon and there is no enough stock on hand as well, Heuristics tries to create one single order on the first applicable period outside the horizon.
Just my thoughts, Expert Ada can give you a clear picture of this.

Hi Vinoth,
Thanks, yes it seems your assumption is correct.
I further tested this scenario & found that any requirement that is within SNP Product Horizon, then the system is creating one single order.
Furthermore, the system will create individual order for individual requirement outsuide SNP Product Horizon.
In below example, demands upto 02/09/2016 = 4,400 qty are planned with one single order as SNP Product Horizon (in second screen shot) is till 02/14/2016 & hence demands from 02/15/2016 onwards are planned individually
Regards.
Hi Shaiz,
Yes SNP Prod Horizon will play a role but it will be not the only reason to club the orders.
This could be due to your Planning Horizon, How long is your SNP planning horizon and your SNP Prod Horizon.
To make use of periodic lot sizing to make it remains seperated.
Just my thoughts
Regards
Vinoth
