Cost rates by location-product in IBP R&S Order-Based

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have the following business case: for an execution of Constrained Forecast Run Using Optimizer, we want to model a different Late-Delivery Cost Rate by location-product combination, ie, example, for a product A, apply a higher cost rate to location L1 than location L2.

How is possible model this case in R&S order-based.

Best regards,

Hi Dagoberto,

unfortunately with current IBP rel. 1808 it is no possible to maintain late delivery cost by Loc-Prod directly.

The Late-Delivery Cost is pre-calculated for the Optimizer using Global Late-Delivery Cost Rate (Job Parameter) and the Segment of the rule.

option to model your requirement is to create a demand prio rule with following 2 segments:

- segment 1 = condition: all demands at Location L1

- segment 2 = condition: all demands at Location L2

Optimizer will then prioritize demands at Location L1 higher than L2.

A direct maintenance of late delivery cost rate at Loc-Prod level is on the Roadmap and currently planned for 1905 release.

thanks and regards

Michael

As far as I know, you need to wait for the next release 1811, because cost rates on material-location level should be coming with it

Should be available in around 2 weeks or later, depending on your upgrade plan

Check the what's new section in 1811 for it
