Source of supply in PDS.

[Former Member]

Hello APO Gurus,

This is regardsing the source of selection in PDS.

I am using a PDS , which has two source of supply. One contains Mill resource and other contains FIN

Resource.

I want system to select always Mill source , but system is selecting Fin Source.

Following things are done ,

I have updated the priority zero in MILL resource but still system is not considering the priority and selecting the FIN resource.

Please let me know , How can we set the system so that Mill resorce will be selected always by default and as per the user requirement user will select the FIN resource.

Waiting for reply.

Hi Ravindra,

You can modify the capacity of MILL resource as very high and FIN resource as very low and retry

Please confirm

Hi there,

Which planning functionality are you using? Is it heuristic, optimizer..? Optimizer always use cost effective resource.

Hi,

I am using Heuristic , not using Optimizer.

But I do not understand why source of supply selection following things are not working,

1. Use of priority in PDS

2. Quota arrangement

In both the above things , I have specified ' Mill ' resource.

But system is still selecting the FIN resource.

Do we need to implement Addinally SAP notes to use either priority in PDS or Quata arrangement.

Can anybody throw more light on this ?

Please check if the PDS for Mill resource is active and assigned to the model. If so then maintain the procurement priority for FIN resource as 999. This should solve your issue

Hi Sai,

Thanks for your answer.

I kept priority of the ' Mill' Resource as '0' and Priority of the 'FIN' resouce as 999.

But still system is selecting the 'FIN' resource.

I am not getting , why priority is not working as per documentation.

If system considers the PDS inspite of its priority 999 means its not considering the other PDS. Can you please do one quick testing. Deactivate the FIN PDS and check how the system is responding.if the system still does not consider the MIll PDS then there is some issue with that PDS.

Hi Sai,

Delivery date with 'FIN' resource is better than 'Mill' and system is selecting a resource with Better Delivery date.

So , that could be the reason priority is not working.

Please let me know your opinion, about implementing BADI: /SAPAPO/PWB_SOS

Hi,

Here is some helpful documentation. Sorry for copy pasting.

/SAPAPO/PWB_SOS

Title

BAdI: Change Source Determination

Use

This Business Add-In (BAdI) is used in the component Sources of Supply (SCM-APO-MD-SRC).

It enables you to do the following for the "valid sources of supply" determined by the system:

Change the sorting

Change the data for a source

Example

The system is to take the valid sources into account as follows:

When a procurement order is created in the background, sources with the procurement priority 3 are not to be taken into account.

When a procurement order is created in dialog mode, sources with the procurement priority 3 are to be displayed as additional procurement alternatives.

To achieve this result, proceed as follows:

In mode P (planning in the background), filter out the sources with the procurement priority 3 by deleting such sources from the table CT_SOURCES_EXTEND.

The parameter IV_LOW_LEVEL_CODE within the method PWB_USEX_SOS indicates whether the BAdI has been called up within the determination of the low-level code. If so, the parameters IV_MINLS and IV_MAXLS are not filled.

Standard settings

This BAdI is not active in the standard system supplied.

This BAdI can be used multiple times.
