Vendor IBP Heuristik

[OliverA41]

Hello,

i create a network with one supplier. I define this supplier in the location md as attribute location type ="V".

but the heurisitk stopped the run with an error called "Execution of the SCM operator was skipped because the data validation for the algorithm type HEURISTIC failed."

If I change the location type as "Supplier" the heuristik is running, but the result in the kf "Transport receipts are empty. For me, the system ignore, that I have a supplier in the network

Hi Oliver,

Did you check External Receipts if you have any qty generated for that KF. If you update source with Source Type "U" it is updated in that KF.

Also, please refer to below link for External Source Of Supply -

Hello Ankur,

this is correct. Receitp is also fullfill.

Hi Oliver,

It is "RECEIPT - External Receipts" KF not the Transport Receipts. If you have maintained Source Type as "U" it should populate this KF.

If you mean with "external Receipts" the "transport receipts" than I can say, that this kf is also fullfill.

Hello,

I have now a solution:

1. In the Location Source master data, following needs to be maintained:

Ship-From Loc.ID = SUP001
Location ID = PL1000
Product ID = Kom001
Location Sourcing Ratio = 1

2. In the Location Product master data, following needs to be maintained:

Location ID = SUP001
Product ID = Kom001
Subnetwork ID = UnendlicheHeuristik

3. In the Location master data, for SUP001, Location Type was set to VN, but needs to be maintained as V.

and then I see in the KF external procurement the values for the supplier

I have done a screenshot of my supply. Here you see, that I have a dependent demand of my component but only until the supplier.

Location type is "VN" and the Source Type is =U

Hi Matheus, hi Ankur,

thanks for the lot of options, which you desciped. I tested in the meanwhile and I will descriped the results

1.
With Loctype = "V" after the heurisitk run the KF Transport Receipts is empty

2. Loctype ="VN" and production source header and Soruce Type = U the KF Receipts and the Transport Receipts both are empty

your answer were very helpful to understand more the Heurisitk and customizing, but my supplier will still ignore

Hi Oliver,

Can you please make sure that demand is being propagated to the supplier? You may check it via Key Figure DEPENDENTDEMAND.

If no demand is propagated to the supplier (which seems to be the case), it won't generate any receipts.

Best regards,
Matheus

Hi Oliver,

If you maintain a Vendor via MDT Location Source and defining LOCTYPE = 'V' for the Vendor Location, you will see the receipts stored in Key Figure Transport Receipts (TRANSPORT)

Now if you maintain a Vendor via MDT Production Source Header with a U-Rule, the receipts will be stored in Key Figure External Receipts (RECEIPTS).

Lastly, if you maintain both LOCTYPE = 'V' and also define the Location with a U-Rule, you will receive an error, as you already mentioned with KBA 2522491 - SOP operator fails with message ID 148.

Best regards,
Matheus

Hi Oliver,

The reason you are getting this error is you have modeled Supplier as the outer border of your supply chain (Maintain as LOCTYPE = V) Which means you cannot plan for it. Try changing LOCTYPE to VN and maintain Production Source Header Source Type as "U" and see if you get any results.

Hi Ankur,

Thanks for the response. Attached my comments

1.) Location Source

In this MD type I have set the combiantion "Ship from" (supplier) , location (plant) and product. If you mean this as "maintained for supplier" than the first point is checked 🙂

2. Production Source for Supplier

Which MD type you mean with this? I can't find this.

3. Prodcution Source Header

I customized this at the begin of the configuration. But from the first Heuristik run I got follow message.

"Supplier location with location type (V) is sourced with 0 number of production (P) rules, 0 number of transport (T) rules, and XX number of unassigned (U) rules."

I find follow Note which descriped this message and I remove the entry in the production source header.

Supplier location with location type (V) is sourced with 0 number of production (P) rules, 0 number of transport (T) rules, and XX number of unassigned (U) rules."

If I insert the entries back in md productiojn soruce header, I get the same message and the Heuristik stopped with an Error.

Please make sure below master data is maintained for Supplier -

1. Location Source

2. Production Source for Supplier

3. Production Source Header with type "U"
