Hello!
I have a lot of articles with Period Lot Size Z3 (every 3 days). I expected that this parameter would create a TLB proposal every 3 days. However, TLB proposal is every following day.
I really would appreciate if someone could help me,
Thank you very much in advance,
Julia
Hi Julia
Lot size has nothing to do with TLB , Please check the link for the Master Data Setup used for Transport Load Builder
Kind Regards

Hello!
Thank you very much, Ken and Ramy for your quickly answer.
I will explain that I work in Spain, and factories are in north of Europe. Factories make the replenishment to Spain, according with TLB proposal.
What I thought is that, if for example I only bring one truck per week, putting a weekly lot size I would get every morning a proposal of 1 truck every week (or less, depending in other parameters). And I thought that every proposal would take the demand for one full week.
Example: if every day I have a demand of 100, then the TLB proposal would be 500 for day 1. Other 500 for day 8, and so on.
But what I have is a proposal of 100 in day 1, other 100 in day 2 and so on. And I don't want to load only 100, because I won't have a truck every day.
As according with your answers, I am wrong, I would like to kindly ask you 2 questions:
1. How could I get a proposal as I need (500 in every proposal, instead of 100)?
2. What is then, the effect of periodic lot size in my replenishment (if any)? What is the effect in the factory?
Thank you very much in advance!!

Hi Julia,
In the TR.Lanes at Means of Transport level you have the parameter Use.Trsp.Allocation (you have to scroll down to find it).
Here you can choose Week as planning period. I don't know if this param is taken in consideration by TLB!
Also you can test other means of transport parameters like: Procurement Lead time, Stock transfer time or additional stop duration for a transportation lanes.
Good luck!
Thanks, Marius
