TS-Based Supply Heuristic - Using Projected Inventory in first bucket

[willsuus]

Due to memory limitations, we need to split running a 5 year heuristic into two runs. The issue is that the 2nd run, which starts in a future month, does not use the projected stock from the previous period, it used the onhand stock (which is 0). Is there a way to have the heuristic use projected stock rather than onhand stock in the first period of the heuristic?

Hi Susan,

Have you tried copying Projected stock of last period (1st run) as initial inventory for first period (2nd Run) and then taking the 2nd heuristic run stating future month as first period of heuristic run.

Thanks

Hello Girish,

Thank you for your response. We did consider this option but, before going forward with it, were hoping that there would be a parameter that would handle this situation. If not, this is most likely the path that we will need to take.

Regards,

Susan

I don't think there is any other solution for specific scenario that you have, but I am wondering why your heuristic is taking so long that you have to break the run.
