Capacity Usage for demand based on resource at different Production Location

[former_member750380]

Hello Everyone,

We have a business case, where we have multiple plants in different company code in a single area due to local taxation laws.

In there the demand for FG1 in received at Plant P1 in Company code C1 and some times at Plant P2 in Company code C2 as the final shipment of the finished goods to customer will be done from plant P1 or P2.

But the resources for producing these products are available at available at Plant P2 in Company code C2 and Plant P3 in Company Code C3.

Once these products are produced at P2 & P3 they are then transported to P1 or P2 for final shipment from P1 or P2.

In ECC routing for the FG1 are created in same manner where work center from P2 & P3 are assigned in the routing of FG1 in plant P1 and P2.

Now we want to calculate the capacity usage during Infinite heuristics run in IBP S&OP process of individual resources of P2 & P3 for the FG demands from P1 and P2. How can we achieve this.

Regards,

Mukesh

Hi Mukesh,

Here is my suggestion : Setup a transportation lane between plant P1 and P2. The FG demand at P1 becomes dependent demand at P2 whereas demand directly coming at P2, becomes independent demand. Maintain resource mapping at P2. This should give you capacity usage at P2 for total demand at P1 and P2. If total production demand at P2 needs to be split between P2 and P3, maintain transportation lane between P2 and P3. Make sure the sum of sourcing rules (P rules and/or T rules) should be 1.

Hi Piyush,

Thanks for the suggestions. This would have worked if resource would have been available single locations. But in out routing/ Production resource, the resources are available in multiple plants. So sending demands to all these plants will possibly lead to multiple receipt for single demand.

E.g. - in the attached screen shot the demand for product P1000071151 comes to plant 4001, the routing is also available in plant 4001 but the resources assigned to the routing are from multiple plants. So we need to calculate the capacity usage for all those resources in actual at the actual location.
