Deployment Between Production Plants

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Generally we do a Deployment between the distribution center and production plant. Now there is a requirement where we need do a Deployment between the production plants. Please let me know what are addition settings or procedure do we need to follow it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Siva.

Hi Siva,

What our friends said so far is correct but a word of caution. Make sure that the transportation lanes do not make a closed loop. What I mean by that is if u have 2 plants, P1 and P2, there are is one DC D1. P1 and P2 sources a product PROD1 to the DC, so there are T-lanes from P1 to D1 and P2 to D2 for PROD1 and you have a requirement to create a T-lane between P1 and P2 for the same PROD1, then you are making a closed loop.

In case you use some thing like a network Heuristic, then the system might be confused how the demand originates. Just be careful with that.

Hi Siva,

It should not matter what the Location Type is in APO.

If you pass demand from one location to source location, you can use deployment at the source location to deploy based on your demand and deployment rules( Fair Share or Push Rules)

Hi Siva,

You need to create transportation lanes between the

plants which you need to transport.

Similarly you need to define the storage locations as

MRP relevant.

Hi Siva,

You need to set up a transportation lane between the two production plants.

You need to set the deployment settings at the product location as you set at a DC in the product master at the production plant, which will be receiving .
