Hi,
Distribution Resource Planning
Purpose
Distribution resource planning provides a framework for determining the need to replenish
inventory by:
Linking market requirements with manufacturing and demand management
Relating current inventory positions and demand forecasts to production scheduling
Matching material supply to manufacturing demand, and customer demand to product
supply
Process Flow
1. You define all nodes in the network including plants, distribution centers (DCs),
warehouses, and stock transfer points using the Distribution Network tool.
2. You set up the material master record for each node. In MRP 4 of the material master
record, you must define the deployment strategy for each material (the fair and push
distribution options) as well as deployment horizon (push horizon). For the push horizon,
enter the number of days for which the system considers the ATD quantity and any
additional quantity produced. Any quantity produced beyond the push horizon is not
considered in the deployment calculation.
3. To calculate an available to deploy (ATD) quantity, use the availability check rule, DE, in
Customizing, u2018Carry out control for availability check.u2019 The availability check and the
deployment checking rule, determine the MRP elements that are used to calculate the
ATD quantity.
4. You create a forecast for each DC; for example, a sales forecast.
5. You transfer the forecasted data to Demand Management. The system creates
independent requirements.
6. You perform a DRP run in each DC and in each supplying plant. The DRP run considers
the quota arrangements defined in the network, available stock, sales orders, and
independent requirements.
The DRP run in the DCs creates releases for stock transport requisitions in the
supplying plants.
The DRP run in the supplying plants creates planned orders for production.
7. You convert planned orders into production orders for manufacturing.
You run deployment to produce stock transport orders for distribution of stock from the supplying
plants to the DCs.
Hope you are a bit clear now.
