SAP TM Optimizer planning with Depot Location on Resource.

[former_member822550]

Hi TM Experts,

At our customer we're planning Freight Units via the Optimizer with 2 different Planning Profiles:

• Planning Profile A with FO Building Rule "New Freight Order when Resource is Empty"
• Planning Profile B with FO Building Rule "New Freight Order when Resource is Empty and Depot Location is reached"

We intent to use 1 Resource that has a Depot Location attached "SP_". Transport Planners will switch Transportation Cockpits in case they want to plan single or round trip Freight Orders. We notice that when planning with Planning Profile A (" New Freight Order when Resource is Empty") , system still plans round trips whereas we expect single stage Freight Orders..Does anyone have experience with this kind of behavior and is there a way to prevent this and still make use of 1 Resource?
