Dispatch Capacity using Product Allocations

58 Views

Looking for a bit of guidance on an issue. Have a scenario where we get heavy demand on dispatching requirements. Strangely enough, SAP doesn't have any capacity planning around Logisitcs Execution from what I have seen - it assumes unconstrained capacity to dispatch stock. So I am looking to use Product Allocation based on a total volume (key figure) per site (Characteristic) basis.

My issue is around the Planning Period indicator. I want to use the Allocation model on a daily basis - i.e. fill up the Dispatch 'bucket' daily and once filled, it will look to the next available planning period. I need to do this daily - not weekly or monthly. Period indicator 'T' (Daily) is available but the planning parameter doesn't seem to like this.

Anyone manage to get this working on a daily basis? Other than that I may have to go down the custom path, which will be sub-optimal, as the standard functionality works sensationally at a weekly or monthly basis.

Cheers,

Paul...
