SAP Optimizer prebuilding when yield is applied

[former_member927791]

Hello,

I am running SAP IBP TS Optimizer in daily buckets, in our production process we have yields at certain manufacturing stages. I observed that when I run the Optimizer without applying the yield it does not prebuild and creates the production receipts correctly on the demand date. But when I apply yield the Optimizer starts prebuilding and generates the production receipts immediately. The behavior resembles a push scenario, even though I have relatively a low inventory holding cost rate. In our scenario, we do not have any capacity constraints which will force it to pre-build.

I can share the cost model setup if someone wants to take a closer look at it.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit,

without details this is hard to answer. When the yield decreases in some periods, it may be cheaper to produce ahead to safe some production costs or possibly the costs for the component supplies are cheaper in total.

I see a similar case in our support system. Probably it is best to address the issue there with the required details (e.g. optimizer diagnosis file).

Kind regards, Carsten
