How to close the supply chain network in SAP7F planning area as it is not generating receipts

[former_member813492]

For a simple supply chain network for a product PROD1 in Plant and DC and Component COMP1 in Plant which should get from vendor .

Created TLane between DC to Plant

Created PDS for PROD1 in Plant with component.

when I ran the Supply run ,orders are not created giving the gating factor as No source of supply for COMP1in PLANT is detected

I have maintained TLANE from VENDOR to PLANT for COMP1

Now Supply run gave the gating factor No source of supply for COMP1 in VENDOR

How can we close this network as we don’t need where Vendor is procuring or producing?

Note: when we created PDS for COMP in VENDOR location it created orders which is wrong.

Hi Ravindra,

What is the location Type for the Vendor in your OBP model?

Hi Gaurav,

Location Type is V for the Vendor

Transportation lane from Vendor to Plant for COMP stock transfer type is "0".

Hi Ravindra,

Normally, I would ask you to do the following checks but I believe those have already been done by yourself as you mentioned about orders being created in the network if there is PDS for the component at the Vendor location:

1. Validity of Transportation Lane
2. Procurement Type of Component at Plant. If this is 'In House', then the Transportation lane is automatically turned invalid.

Also, I see in the snapshot, identical 'Additional T Lane IDs'. Is it something automatically generated via RTI or have you manually maintained them.

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for the reply!!

Yes mentioned master data is checked

Validity of Tlane is there in place.

Procurement type is F for component and checked with Blank as well.

Additional Tlane id is manually maintained its just extra attribute to differentiate i believe please correct me if i am wrong.I have tried with different number as well but the same result.

Thanks

Hi Ravindra,

Have you created the Raw materials at Vendor Location in your Location Product Master data? It is not desired in IBP OBP for a location type 'V'.

Please delete Location Product MD entry for Component Vendor combination and rerun your supply planning algorithm?

Hi Gaurav,

Initially with out creating vendor only i have ran it for which it gave gating factor as No source of supply for COMP1 in PLANT.

Thanks

Please remove the Location product entry for the component at Vendor and rerun the heuristic. then Share the snapshot of
a. Gating Factor
b. Vendor Master
c. Location Product 'Procurement Type' at Component at Plant_1.
d. Validity Flag of Transportation lane from Vendor to Plant

Hi Gaurav,

After deleting location product entry of component at vendor it worked as expected.

Thanks for the time and detailed insight.

Thanks
