Fulfillment date is coming ahead of Requirement date

[Former Member]

There are 2 locations in my supply chain. 1 is Local distibution center and the other is regional dist. center.

There is transportation lane maintained between 2 locations.

I have created demand at Local Dist Center and after SNP Heuristic the fulfillment ie, Purchase req date is coming ahead of demand date..

for eg.

Demand date is 25.02.2008

fulfillment date against the demand date is coming 28.02.2008

same is the case in the regional dist center.

Can any one help me out in solving the issue.

Jignesh,

Check the following master data. Time Zone of the Local DC and RDC - are they the same?

Second and most important is Period Factor in Lot Size tab of product master and that in the Transportation Lane - Means of Transport. Is it 0.5 if so then when you plan in Weekly buckets the receipt will be created at middle of the bucket i.e. Thursday which is 28.02.2008 to cover the Demand on Monday (25.02.2008).

Related to RDC and LDC the requirement and fulfillment date is coming same.. so the problem is solved.

But related to LDC and MFG the fulfillment date at rdc is coming 5 days before the requirement date

Case:

Demand at LDC --18/02/08

Transit time between LDC and RDC 2 days

Requirement at RDC --16/02/08

Uptill now it is fine

Now for the fulfillment of req at RDC is coming at 11/02/08 which I am not able to Interpret. I havent define any GR processing time...

The description of your case is confusing - is the fulfillment of req at RDC or MFG coming incorrect (11/02/2008). Are you running SNP only in weekly buckets. In that case the same Period Factor comes in play.
