Forecast included as part of the deployment fair share rule

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

the situation that i'm having is the following:

Forecast at all locations but the stock only is at the warehouse.

the supply is less than the demand.

Running deployment on real time with pull rule and fair share rule A(based on demand)

To take into account the forecast inside the fare share rule of the deployment seems that I need to use: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em70/helpdata/en/a0/640242e446c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

the sap help is not very clear, and maybe I'm not doing the correct configuration to get the expected results.

the system is always saving stock to cover the forecast at warehouse and then fair share rule between the DCs

If someone has already configure that, help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advances & Regards

Beatriz

Hello,

Please check in product master (/sapapo/mat1), if you have activated the below flag for your product @ warehouse location.

Hello Beatriz,

The first level of the check would be the settings maintained for ATR and ATI. Please check and confirm that what orders will system consider as demands and what elements as Supply.

The second level of check would be the Pull Deployment Horizon, as the deployment heuristic considers the demand within the Pull deployment Horizon.

Also check if there are any safety stocks maintained for the warehouse.

Thanks.

Hello Tanveer,

I checked those parameters and seems that everything is fine.

Safety stock is cero

ATR and ATI are maintained with the standard ATP categories

the pull deployment horizon is 999.

there is something wrong with the real time, because if I run the deployment based on Last SNP run, it confirm the correct quantity to the DC.

Thanks

Hello Beatriz,

If there is a mismatch between these two, then I suppose the planning situation has changed from what was when the SNP run happened. To be sure, request you to please run the SNP Heuristics again before deployment. Then the results should match.

Here is another topic that can help.

Hi Beatriz,

Have you analyzed the Deployment logs correctly ? If the ATD quantity is 100 for the bucket, then you need to analyze the different horizons first. One such horizon would be SNP checking horizon .

Hello Satyabrata,

thanks for your answer,

please check the details of the deployment results:

as you can see the ATD quantity is correct 200 that is the stock at the WH, but later on the confirmed quantity is only 100 and then fair shared.

Helo Tanveer,

is impossible that the situation is changing, I never save the results from the deployment if I run it in foreground.

Finally I found where is the difference, when executing real time deployment without fair share rule, everything is OK the 200 units are deployed.
but if I apply the fair share rule A, then only 100units are deployed and fair shared.

Thanks

please see my step by step:

Forecast at DC1 and STR created against the WH

Forecast at DC2 and STR created against the WH

This is the situation at the WH, there Is enough stock to cover both STR

Deployment runs in background with these details

The results are:

As you can see the quantity deployed is only 100 and this quantity is fair shared

The ATD quantity is correct:

Thanks

Hi Beatriz,

Going through the log screenshot ,I can see that the distribution demand at both the DCs are 62.5 and 37.5 . The deployment run has covered these two demands accordingly. But then If I check some earlier screenshots ,the demand should have been 125 and 75 .So how the demand has been changed during the deployment need to be checked.

Thanks,

exactly this is what I can't understand.

during the real time deployment + fair share rule A the demand change and this is what I can't understand why.

Thanks

Hello,

From the deployment logs, we can see that the Distribution demand is 62.5 and 37.5 respectively and the quantity is confirmed accordingly. Something is changing while the deployment run, maybe heuristic run in the interactive can give you more info on that.

From a planning view, the fair share rule should not be selected as the supply is greater than demand in this case.

Beatriz,

Which part of the help is not clear? If you can explain what settings you have made so far, we can try to point you in the right direction. Are you testing this out in the standard planning book/ data view?

Planning Area

Planning Book / Data View.

Settings in SNP2 tab of product at warehouse

ATD Receipts and their ATP categories

ATD Issues and their ATP categories

Shipping / Receiving Calendars - test without using them

Settings for real-time deployment

Hi Abhishek

If I run the deployment in

Planning area: 9AVMI03

Planning book: 9ADRP_FSS

ATD receipt: ATR (full standard)

ATD issue: ATI (full standard)

Real time deployment settled up like with replan all and delete.

the situation that I have is:

Demand DC1 - 125
Demand DC2 - 75

Demand WH - 50

Stock at WH - 200

and the results are:

stock at WH - 100

STR confirmed - 100

     62 to DC1

     38 to DC2)

The expected results are:

Stock at WH - 40

STR confirmed - 160

     100 to DC1

     60 to DC2

There should be something that is blocking me to deploy more than 100 and I don't know what it is :S

Thanks

Beatriz,

Do all the demands appear on the warehouse on the same day? What is the Transportation duration and do you have any GR/GI processing times? Are you using any shipping or receiving calendars?

You can alternatively analyze the situation by starting with a clean slate. Run location heuristics at DC1 and DC2, save the results and see how the distribution demands are spacing out with respect to the demand at the WH. Do you have any other demand at WH other than Forecast?

Hello Abhishek,

I still testing and I found the problem.

My problem is when I add the Fair share rule A.

if I run the real time deployment it works perfectly it confirm the 200units I have to deploy.
but if I execute the real time with the fair share rule A. then only 100 units are deployed.

Any idea?

Thanks,

[ruchi_das2]

Beatriz,

The deployment heuristic is able to calculate the % split required to meet the demands at both the DC's. 125:75 = 0.625:0.375. Can you check the shipping/receiving time stream for the locations involved and make sure they are available 24:00 or test without any calendars. I would suggest you to raise an OSS message.

Dear Beatriz,

Let's assume that you have following demand situation at all locations.

DC1- 100

DC2- 100

WH- 100

Now if you execute the deployment heuristics we have the following situation

Reserved Quantity at WH- 100

Confirmed Distribution Demand DC1- 50

Confirmed Distribution Demand DC2- 50

Let me know if my understanding is correct. Please could you explain what is your expectation?

Hello Abhinay,

The expected results are:

There should be something that is blocking me to deploy more than 100 and I don't know what it is :S
