IBP Copying values to ADJUSTEDTRANSPORTDS KF

[robvid]

Hi experts

I'm trying to use an operator to copy the values from a a non-standard KF to the KF ADJUSTEDTRANSPORTDS. I defined the parameters as per below

when it runs nothing gets copied

The KF TOTALINCOMING is defined as per below. Basically, is the aggregate of Planned Orders +Production Order + S4 Firmed Planned Orders

The values I'm trying to copy are at WKPRODLOC Planning Level

The KF ADJUSTEDTRANSPORTDS is defined as

I'm a newbie. As far as I can tell probably the problem has to do with the Planning Levels of the Source and the Target. If that is the case I dont know how to solve it and whether I should be using DISAGG instead of COPY

Your help is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hello Roberto,

Please try with DISAGG operator. It should work. The operator would read source KF at WKPRODLOC level & then disaggregate same values at base planning level of target KF.

Hi Roberto,

Technically your issue will be resolved as suggested by Neeraj, but I am curious on the functional requirement to do so

You are trying to copy incoming receipts values at receiving location to an KF which hold values of Supply qty from supplying location to receiving location.

it may be the case if your location is an end node in the system them there may not be any planning level at WKPRODLOCLOCTO to diss agg into.

I would suggest to use ADJUSTEDTRANSPORT KF instead to copy the value which hold the correct information at WKPRODLOCLOCFR Planning level.

Also as per your formula of TOTALINCOMING it considers TOTALRECEIPT KF in its calculation. But once you copy the value into ADJUSTEDTRANSPORT KF using diss agg operator , then it may lead to cyclic qty loop as TOTALRECEIPT KF considers values in ADJUSTEDTRANSPORT KF post Heuristic run.

I dont know what happened I thought I have left a comment to your post.... probably I didnt click submit and close the tab ..

We have IBP Sales and Operations. We don't have the Deployment functionality which I understand it is in another module. What we are doing is using the ADJUSTEDTRANSPORT and ADJUSTEDTRANSPORTDS KF to recreate the deployment. Manually it works fine but it can be time-consuming. We copy paste the INCOMING KF values (Production Orders and/or Planned Orders, inc Firmed Planned Orders) into the ADJUSTEDTRANSPORTDS KF. We save it and run the heuristic and the corresponding KF at downstream (at the DC) are updated.

What I'm hoping to achieve is to mechanize the process via the use of an operator.

Our network scenario is relatively easy, where in most cases, the relationship is 1 source 1 target. The production plants don't have enough storage space and all the production is pushed out shortly after is made.

If we dont do this, the projected inventory at the destination (Warehouse/DC) reflects wrong values.

I'm learning IBP on my own and this will be my first exposure/try to DISAGG.

Thanks again for your help
