IBP Supply Optimizer with source of supply optimization based on Cost data from contracts

[Former Member]

How to set up Source of Supply optimization in IBP , what are the input keyfigures

what are the out put keyfigures

what all master data templates I need to upload

Scneario

I want to consider cost from contracts to vendors and consider that cost for source of supply optimization

HUB X

Cost in contract for vendor A $ 50

Cost in contract for vendor B $ 60

Cost in contract for Vendor C $ 45

So my optimizer should select vendor C based on Cost as cot for vendor is the lowest cost

HI Rohit

1) What all Master data required to set up this above scenario

2) What all Keyfigures required for Tranportation related inputs and outputs like from Hub to DC and from DC to HUB

thanks

HI Rohit

Could you please confirm on the

1) Master Data required for this setup

2) Transportation between HUB and DC related Key figures required for this setup as in put and output

Thanks

Hi Nicole - I think you need to spend some good time on help content for this, anyways: I can cover some on a broader level:

For Master Data (other than many other simple / compound data types, below is what you need MUST),

1. Mention the list of hubs and vendors you have in Location MD file, make sure you maintain the LOCTYPE = V for vendors so system knows they are vendors
2. Extend all relevant products for both the hub and the vendor in Locprod master data file
3. Ensure they fall in the same subnetwork if that's what is intended.
4. Maintain the lanes in the Loc Source MD file for the relevant products with appropriate transport ratios
5. Ensure you don't cross the max value of 1 for the sum of all transport ratios for a product/destination (in multi-sourcing scenario)

For KFs, you may use the below list I guess:

At HUB:

• Independent demand Dep Loc demand (if hubs are getting from different hubs or from customers)
• Dependent demand
• Supply
• Outbound Loc demand
• Transport Receipt
• External Receipt
• Receipt
• External Receipt cost rate
• Inventory holding cost rate

At Vendor:

• Dep Loc demand
• Dependent Demand
• Supply
• Receipt
• External Receipt

Hope this helps, but to have a clear picture on what's all needed: I suggest to spend some time on help.

Thanks,

HI Rohit,

Thanks for your response , its very help full

could you also help with the below

1) what all Master data required for setting up this scenario

2) Could you also confirm the Key figures for Transport related and Stock Transport Requisitions related between two locations

Thanks

HI Ankur,

What would be the in put and output keyfigures for optimizer with External source of supply optimization for my above scenario ?

As its not clear from the help documentation

External-Receipt Cost Rate (EXTERNALRECEIPTCOSTRATE)

Base planning level: Product – Location

This input key figure models the cost per product unit and period for external receipts for a location product. External receipts can be used to model the purchase of products that are entered in the supply chain (or for other receipts that are not specified further and detailed within the supply chain network in SAP Integrated Business Planning).

Fixed External-Receipt Cost (FIXEDEXTERNALRECEIPTCOST)

Base planning level: Product – Location

This input key figure models a fixed cost for each period in which external receipts for a location product are not zero.

Hi,

You can use externalreceiptcostrate as input key figure to model the cost for external vendor.

The output can be seen in extermal receipts key figure.

Thanks,

Hey

I have a Scenario where there is a HUB and multiple vendors

say cost in contract

for vendor A is $ 60

for vendor B is $ 50

For Vendor C is $70

1. so based on cost based source of supply optimization , will Optimizer recommend vendor B which is the lowest among all 3 vendors

2, Am using a custom planning Area which I created of my own

what are my input key figures the Technical names of standard unified planning area that I should create in my custom Planning Area as in put for Supply optimizer in IBP

what are my output key figures the Technical names of Standard unified planning are that should create in my custom Planning Area as output for Supply optimizer in IBP

3 What all master data should I use to model this scenario in IBP

Thanks in advance for your help
