Propagating Demand To Supply without the Use of Sourcing Ratios at a PRODLOCCUST Level

[ebrahim_bhika]

Hi Experts

There is a requirement from a client to have the Demand Propagated to Supply without using the Customer Sourcing Ratio at a Product Location Customer Level. Is it possible to have a proportional split at an aggregated level that can be used to split the demand that sits at the lowest level while ensuring the sum of the ratio still totals to a 100%.

Can you share an example with illustration on how the results should look?

Hi Ebrahim,

You may consider using the parameter Normalize Quotas with the option "Proportionally".
See the SAP Help Portal Primary Parameters for more details.

Hi Ebrahim,

You can select the Balancing Receipts parameter in the S&OP operator profile. This primary parameter will ignore the sourcing ratios and will create supply and receipts.

You may need to further play around with few more parameters like the Merger Policy for Key Figures in the S&OP operator profile.

For more information please refer below link:

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ebrahim,

If you are using Time Series Based Supply Planning, you can release the demand plan to supply on only 2 levels:

1. CONSENUSDEMAND - at Product-Customer level

2. INDEPENDENTDEMAND - at Product-Location Level

if you don't want to have customer as part of your supply network in Supply Planning, release the demand to Supply as Independent Demand which is on Product-Location level.
