Deployment IBP - Order Based

[jcramirez92]

Hi,

I'm doing some tests for Deployment in IBP for Order based and I don't understand at all how the finite heurisctic works, especially since the upgrade to 2008 version of IBP.

Let me show you and example:

I have a supply chain of 3 plants, where 7095 supplies to plant 7091 and this one to 3035. The ATD profile defined in IBP only uses Stock quantity as ATD. I created two stock transfer requisition from 3035 to 7091 expecting that if the available stock is enough to cover this requirements two deployment stock transfer should be created (as did until the last upgrade). Nevertheless, I was surprised by the results after executition of Deployment operator because I see that a deployment Stock transfer was created from 7095 to 7091 to cover the stock out of plant 7091 due to the requirements made to it by plant 3035.

The 33.789 quantity for deployment is equal to the quantity that plant 7091 need to not have and stock out. I thought that maybe the problems comes from the transportation lane, but as you can see a transfer request from 7091 to 7095 was not used in deployment too.

Anyone can explain why I'm obtaining this results? That is correct? or Should I do any additional configuration to work like I expect?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your clarification.

If the Stock transfer requisition is created in ERP it has the fixed for planning flag in IBP (check App View Projected Stock). The Deployment run will not change the order type to Deployment Stock Transfer for STRs with fixed for planning flag. In the Key figure Distribution Receipt (Deployment) only order elements of deployment Stock Transfer are considered.

Thanks,

Thanks Michael,

I didn't notice in MD04 that STRs was fixed for planning. I have done some test with STRs withouh fixing it, that is, converting previsional orders to STRs and now the deployment works as I expected.

Hi Michael,

I have checked both apps, View Projected Stock and Analyse Supply Usage, but I see the same that in the excel.

I have repeated the example, moving the stock transfer requirements to the future and deleted the sales order in 3035. As you can see in the screenshots the deployment only makes a proposal for deployment of 33789 EA, which is the quantity neccesary to not have an stock out in plant 7091. Why Stock transfer requisitions from 3035 are not being take into account?

Transportation lanes have the same characteristics for every plant.

Finally, I show you the ATD profile:

As I mention previously, the other day, before the upgrade of IBP, I did an example quite similar to this and I obtained the results what I guessed, with the exception that when the stock in supply plant was not enough to cover the stock transfer requirement totally in the excel was not confirmed for deployment partially but this partial quantity could be seen in analyze supply usage.

I hope you can help me to understand how it works or If I have to change some settings.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm wondering how you created the STRs manually? Did you create them in ERP?

When you say "Why Stock transfer requisitions from 3035 are not being take into account?" What should happen, what is your expectation?

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

The STRs come from ERP and they have been created manually.

And about Stock transfer requisitions to 3035 from 7091 my expectation is that if there is stock available (only element used for ATD) the operator should change the quantity of those Stock transfer requisitions from "Distribution Receipt (Planned)" to "Distribution Receipt (Deployment)" and if the available stock is not enough I would hope that the operator could confirm partially the STRs with the available stock.

Thanks,

Hi Juan Carlos,

I'm not sure if I understood correct you master data setup, can you please explain what are the valid Transportation Lanes?

One way to troubleshoot further is to look at the View Projected Stock app to see the order level details

- Are there fixed Stock Transfers?

and check the Pegging (App Analyse Supply Usage)

- What is the of Sales order demand in Loc 3035?
