TS Finite Heuristic - Using Transportation Cost Rate for Source Determination

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a scenario where a product can be procured from two vendors. I am using Transportation Cost Rate KF to set vendor priority (Product/Location/Ship To Location). No other cost setting has been set. The setting for Transportation Cost Rate in the first period is taken and used for the entire planning horizon. I am trying to time phase this where after a certain period, I want to switch the priority. Anything else that I may be missing? The only documentation I have found related using priority for source determination is link.

If any of you have tried time phasing of source determination using priority (transportation cost rate), please let me know what I am missing.

Thanks,
Krish

Hi Krish,

Please check out of scope list in SAP Help, so transport cost is supported as static value.

Thanks Girish for pointing this out! For static value, I wish the config had been a part of Location Source instead of a TS KF.
