Demand priority

Hi All,
We have three customers, say
Customer A
Customer B and
Customer C
Whenever I run my planning engine, Customer A demand should be met 100% (say Rank 1) irrespective of request date.
After satisfying the Customer A demand, balance supplies should now satisfy Customer B and Customer C.
In which, 80% of Customer B (say Rank 2) demand and 20% of Customer C (say Rank 2) demand need to be satisfied with the remaining supplies.
Let me know how this can be acheived and your thoughts on this will be very helpful.
Thanks

Fair Share Allocation rules are used in Distribution Requirement Plans. With these rules, ASCP will allocate scarce supplies between competing demands with the same priority. Similar to a sourcing rules, a Fair Share Allocation Rules can be assigned to organizations, categories, and items. ASCP also generates exceptions alert the planner to supply allocation problems.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13358/T309464T471624.htm#T471628 for details.
Hope this helps,

  • Demand priority during Resource allocation

    Hi,
    We're facing difficulties in getting the expected planned orders -
    We've following scenario -
    PArt Qty Needed Due date
    P1 2700 01/05/2009
    P2 2700 01/05/2009
    Resource is available 18 hrs/day while usage for both assy is 60 units/hr. ASCP constraints with decision rule plan is creating splitted planned order to complete the demand for both assy rather than completing one of them first and then move to other. Is anyone of you aware of any setups in ASCP, which can decide the priority of Assly on resource based on either assy itself or part category.
    The reason of this is that factory planner doesn't want to publish a plan, where they've to change models frequently on one line.
    Thanks

    Nikhil,
    The software does not do exactly what the user is asking for, but you can build a reasonable solution.
    They want to release orders based on item category. You can show them how to query planned order based on item category using the Oracle forms "Find" feature. you can also build a process where they can see several planned orders and expose the item category column in the PWB using the "show field" feature. They can now see planned orders by date, by item, by item category. They next adjust the dates as desired and hit release.
    You can use the pegging to see the customer for each planned order, but that is time consuming so it should be an exception process. You need to push them on this requirement. If it is an exception process, the pegging provides full visibility and works extremely well. To expand beyonfd this process, get them to use the demand priority column in the PWB to set priorities.

  • Custom Demand priority sequence

    Hi All:
    How do I setup a custom Demand priority sequence in CTM profile, Want to prioritize my demands as follows: Safety stock, Sales order and Forecast (ascending).
    Thanks a bunch.
    Mono

    HI Mono ,
    As per my earlier reply go to Trans./SAPAPO/CTMORDSEL for Order Selection ,in this create a new Order Selection by entering Order selection ID and in first Tab page of selection you can select the Master data Selection which can be otherwise selected in the CTM profile in Trans./SAPAPO/CTM under Planning Scope Tab Page  and Master data Selection .
    In the same Selection Tab Page of Order Selection and Time related Selection area you can specify the time period and in the second Tab Page of ATP Categories ,in filter for ATP Cat.All ATP Categories in left hand side screen you can set the ATP categories as CB safety stock,BM sales Order and FC as Forecast and save this order selection .
    Then enter this order selection in the CTM profile under Planing Scope Tab Page and Demand Selection Area by selection the radio button on Order Selection  and from drop down select the ID that you hhave saved .Thus CTM run takes into consideration the orders selected while planing .
    you can define a srort Profile in trans. S_AP9_75000206 (under Demand Prioritization)where the prorities are set as if the certain Locations/Products (LOCNO /MATNR )  are having prority or Material availability date(MBDAT) or the Distribution Channel or Sales Orgnization have more priority ,this profile is then selected in the sort profile in the CTM profile instead of setting proritizing sequence there .
    pls go through the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/fb/396fc97d3946bc8dd8236f98919236/frameset.htm">CTM Demand Prioritization</a> which will help to clear basic doubts

  • SNP Optimizer demand priority

    Hi ,
      In SNP Optimizer What is the "Corrected Demand Fcst " corresponds to which keyfigure in SNP?   My understanding is "Customer Demand" => Sales Orders (Category BM),  Demand Forecast => Forecast (ie Category FA). I can't find any mapping for Corrected Demand Fcst.
    Shibu

    Hi,
    You can create a custom category group and attach all the categories of forecast for the customer you want to, maintain this category group against the Forecast (correlated)  key figure in the Planning Area.
    Also include this key figure in the planning book.
    Thanks,

  • Order Priority in ASCP regd.

    Hello Gurus,
    We have the Order Priority concept where we can give the priority when we create a Sales Order. The priority can be given in the Shipping tab --> Planning Priority.
    We also have the Demand Priority in the MDS where in we have to invoke the DFF for giving the priority.
    My question is that if we consider the Demand as MDS into the ASCP and we give the priority in the Sales Order line, will the priority be picked up into the MDS.
    Or do we have to discard the MDS as the demand and then check teh option "Include Sales Order" in the Data collection.
    Kindly help.
    Thanks & Regards

    Typically you don't include sales order & MDS else it'll double up the demand since MDS may already include same SO demand. Thus please validate how you're feeding these demands to ASCP?
    Thanks

  • CTM and Dependent Demand purchase Requisitions

    Hello Gurus,
    We have a business situation where there are 2 plants which can produce a finished product from a single input product.  It is much less expensive for us to transport the finished product than the input product.  We want CTM to force the plant with the supply of input product to produce the product and send it if that plant has capacity - only transporting the input product to the demand plant if there is no capacity at the supply plant.
    Plant A   Demand 100 units of Product X
    Plant B  Supply of 100 units of Product Y which can be used to create Product O
    PPMs for creation of Product at both plants.
    Desired outcome:
    If Plant B has open capacity to create Product X prior to due date, Plant B creates Supply of Product X from Product Y and transports Product X.
    If Plant B does not have open capacity to create Product X prior to due date, Plant B sends Product Y to Plant A which creates Product X.
    The supply may be at Plant A or Plant B so the scenario must be able to work in either direction.
    Currently, when CTM runs, it see the demand at Plant B and creates a planned order there, creating a purchase Requisition for the dependent demand.
    Is there a solution for this?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Sarah

    I have done some further testing of the system and have found that I can further clarify my question.
    consider 3 production plants situated roughly in a line with PLANTA located 1000 KM east of PLANTB and PLANTB located 500 KM east of PLANTC.  Because PLANTC is nearer to PLANTB, the transportation lane procurement priority for PLANTC to PLANTB is lower than PLANTA to PLANTB (making PLANTC the first to be considered at a procurement source for PLANTB)
    We have demand for a finished product at PLANTB.  We can create the finished material at PLANTA or PLANTC.  PLANTA has the input material in stock for creating the finished material.
    When CTM makes its planning run, it looks at the PLANTB demand and determines that PLANTC is the correct procurement source for the finished material.  It looks for the finished material at PLANTC and can't find it, so it creates a Planned Order to create the finished material.  In order to do that, it pulls dependent demand from PLANTA. 
    The result is that we are moving input material west 1500 KM to PLANTC and then moving the finished material east 500 KM to PLANTB.
    We have set our priority for moving input material very high, so it should be the last resort to move.
    It appears that CTM is looking at the priority of the finished material only when determining procurement source.  Is there any setting I can make to the system so that it will look at both the dependent demand priority and the finished material priority when determining procurement source?
    Alternately, is there a way to mark the ATP group EB as not being available during a specific CTM run (without removing the dependent material from the TLANE)?
    Ideallly, we'd like to be able to move the dependent material to another plant if the capacity at the plant it is currently in is too full.
    thanks in advance for any advice,
    Sarah

  • ASCP should plan production of all lines of a Sales Order in the same IO

    Requirement details:
    1) We are running an ECC plan in OPM environment (Constrained Classic)
    2) There are 20+ manufacturing plants – all are equally capable of manufacturing any item
    3) Sourcing rules define the sequence in which plants should be loaded (first plant X, go to plant Y when capacity in plant X is full. Go to plant Z when capacity in plant Y is full… and so on.)
    4) Sales Orders are entered in a fashion where 1 SO = 1 container.
    5) There are 5-20 lines per sales order (for items A, B, C, D etc). Together, these items constitute a full container load (FCL)
    6) The composition of this FCL will vary from one Sales Order to another (e.g., customer 1 takes items A,B,C; customer 2 takes A,B,D; customer 3 takes A,B,C,D)
    7) To avoid transfers between plants, all lines of one SO should be assigned to same plant for production – even if that means delaying the shipment. The container will be loaded in that plant itself – instead of transferring it to a distribution center.
    As per our understanding, ASCP does not support such a requirement. We attempted the following:
    1) Defined following profiles:
    MSC: Maximum number of planned orders per demand = 1
    MSO: Maximum Demands per Group = 1
    MSO: Maximum Demands per Slice = 1
    2) Defined Demand Priority Rules:
    Schedule Date – 1
    Sales Orders, Forecasts & MDS Entries Priority – 2
    3) If there are 10 SOs with the same Scheduled Ship Date, they were given Planning Priority as 1, 2, 3 … 10
    4) All lines of a sales order were assigned the same ship set.
    With all the above settings, we could not achieve our goal. Any suggestions from the ASCP Gurus?

    Hi Navneet,
    Thank you for your reply. To answer your queries:
    (1) We have a dummy inventory org mentioned as ship-from org in all SOs (calling it 'dummy' - as physically there is no such IO). This is done because the marketing team does not know from which IO material will be shipped (we do not have GOP in scope).
    (2) Sourcing rules mention that a demand in the dummy IO can be met by orgs X, Y, Z etc (each one with 100% allocation, ranks 1, 2, 3 etc). There are no sourcing rules for transfers between X, Y and Z.
    (3) The intent is to fulfill a SO from single org with none of the items internally sourced from other orgs.

  • Adobe media encoder dont export avi

    i work in premiere cs4 and i try to export that project in avi format but it dont appear in the batchlist of media encoder. If i choose the mpegdvd option, it works. which is the problem? codecs missing? helpme please!!!.

    Whether I'm an acquired taste or not, I leave that up to you to decide.
    What irks me enormously is the number of posts by absolute NOOBS, who have never looked in the manual, who have never used the HELP file, assume that everybody should be at their disposal to solve the problems they have due to lack of understanding the basics of NLE, who act as adolescent nitwits that feel frustrated when named just that, who give a clear indication of using hijacked and illegitimate software, while the majority has payed dearly for an official license, and they still complain about things not working as they thought it would, using material not suitable for editing, trying to do things the program was never intended for on machines that are inadequate to start with.
    Remarks like: HELP, URGENT, BUG and the like are abundant, but very, very rarely can this be substantiated other than by plain OE. Unfortunately, most OP's have a very difficult time understanding that the cause of their problems is their own doing and often they complain when someone mentions this.
    C'est le ton qui fait la musique. If OP's would understand that even though their problem may be obvious to them, it is quite different when trying to ask somebody else's help. They have to go back to the basics and explain it for someone else, so the responder can understand. That is quite different and requires the OP to distance himself from his problem. Be objective, don't waste time on inconsequential details, show that you have searched the web or these fora, don't assume that saying: I don't have the time to search for an answer, so you do it, will win you a positive response.
    People, get real. This is a great place to share knowledge and experience. Everybody had to learn sometime and even noobs deserve their attention and help. It just makes it frustrating when one is continuously confronted with users of illegal software that demand priority service from Adobe on a user-to-user forum or that fail to clearly state their situation.
    Thus, I have this message:
    i "I reserve the right to call anyone a noob. Especially if you haven't read the ******* manual!!"

  • Safety Stock (o reserved) to a Customer Cluster

    Hi Dudes...
    I have a need to define in our Stock Levels the next requirement:
    1. We have a 2 big Customer type or kind in the Company: Self Services (supermarkets) & Wholesalers
    2. In our inventory Model we are considering as follow:
         - Reorder Point
         - Safety Stock
    3. We need to get that when the stock level fall down the safety Stock, this remaining stock stay only to Self services customer and till the replenishment be triggered then, the stock could be again for the 2 kinds of customer.
    Is there any setting or customizing ti get this scenario?
    This is really important to the company, I'll appreciate your soon support.

    Hi Dave,
    Try this note suggestion, possibly help you in resolving your issue.
    How to Avoid Getting Safety Stock Replenishment Too Early in an ASCP Plan [ID 301629.1]
    In order to line up the safety stock supply with the changes in safety stock, a combination of the profiles must be used:
    MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes
    and the plan option
    Peg Supplies by Demand Priority is checked.
    The profile MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes will perform the following:
    For all demands and supplies, it proceeds item by item and
    pegs supplies to demands on a daily basis. Daily supplies
    and demands are not sorted. When supplies or demands
    on a given date are used up, it picks from supplies or
    demands on the next date. The unpegged supplies are
    pegged to excess.
    The peg supplies by demand priority combined with the profile above will prevent the system to plan ahead for safety stock.
    Also no safety stock smoothing is setup.
    To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    1. Please set the profile:
    MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes and
    2. Under the plan settings in the main tab the set the following options:
    Enable Pegging ON
    Peg Supplies by Demand Priority ON

  • What pegging logic is used in ASCP 12.1 DRP plans?

    Hi, could you help me to understand the folowing issue.
    We are implementing ASCP 12.1 DRP planning and have issue with pegging - it's seemd to be done in random order. We need supplies are pegged to demands on day-by-day basis or "standard pegging" (select first supply peg to some demands in ascending order, then next supply peg to unpegged demands in ascending order, and so on). Peggind window for demands and supplies must be = 1 day, in supply windows supplies must be sorted by type before pegging (oh, firm, non-firm).
    For example, see plan output:
    Supply lines:
    Org Item Order Type Sug Due Date Qty
    1. Org1 item10 Purchase requisition 10.10.09 6
    Pegging (Date/Qty): 10.10.09/1, 11.10.09/1, 12.10.09/2, 13.10.09/2
    2. Org1 item10 Planned order 20.10.09 40
    Pegging (Date/Qty): 19.10.09/2, 22.10.09/1, 23.10.09/2, 24.10.09/2, 25.10.09/1, 26.10.09/2, *14.11.09/2, 15.11.09/1, 17.11.09/2* ...
    As mentioned in ASCP UG, there is folowing pegging methods:
    1. FiFO
    2. Standart
    3. Priority
    4. Priority|Standart
    My profile setting is:
    MSC: Use FIFO Pegging = No
    MSO: Supply Window Size =1
    MSO: Demand Window Size = 1
    DRP plan has no options to switch pegging mode (while MDS/MPP/MRP has ones), so i could not guess witch mode DRP planning use and how to control it's logic.

    Hi
    ASCP Pegging Logic do not apply in DPP
    in DPP The logic is allocation and you Control it with several Parameters:
    Allocation Bucket (Daily, Weekly and Period )
    Demand Priority Rule (different from ASCP)
    Fare Share allocation Rules
    Example Scenario:
    Allocation Bucket (Period for example )
    Demand Priority Rule:
    Sales Order Major (Demand Class)
    Sales Regular
    Forecast
    Within The allocation Bucket earliest supply will allocate Sales Order Majors (sorting By date)

  • Safety Stock Not Being Released To Cover New Sales Orders Or Forecast

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of a way to get safety stock at the lower levels of the BOM to get released for upper level sales order or forecast demand without having to adjust the effectively out to a future date?
    Example:
    A = Finish goods item with two weeks lead time
    B= component of A and it has two weeks lead time
    C= component of B and has 10 weeks lead time.
    Have safety stock hard coded with an effective date of today for 100,000 units.
    I have 100,000 in inventory and I have planned orders to cover all my demands and future safety stock requirements for the next ten weeks.
    I receive a new sales order for 50,000 units with a customer request date five weeks out.
    I am getting ATP dates to assign to the new sales order 14 weeks out versus allowing me to use 50,000 units from the safety stock to schedule in week five?
    Even If I schedule the sales order for five weeks, because I have gone down two levels to confirm that I have safety stock, and It could be used, planned orders would not get generated at the next two levels, because the demand date on the safety stock is earlier than the demand date for the new order?
    Is there any resolution that anyone has found that addresses this issue?
    We have set a demand priority rule on the ASCP plan options tab to "Sales Order Priority" where we have set criteria for number one to "Sales Orders & MDS Entries Priority" and number two to "Schedule Date".
    We have found that adjusting the supply and demand dates out to cover the full 14 week period does reduce the safety stock at the lower levels, but it also creates additional starts and inventory to be put into the line, which makes this approach not feasible.
    Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? We do not build safety stock for the sake of building safety stock. We want it to be used for any sales order or forecast demand that comes within the planning horizon.
    Appreciate any inputs.
    Regards,
    Dave

    Item 1 day4 50

    24 on day 7 (this is ok since some days are
    holiday in between)
    Item1 day3 180 pegged to 180 on day 7
    question is as follows :
    i) for the item1 demand on day1, why it has not pegged to supply of 10 on day2 and 5 in day3 supply ?? Why this is reverse case here ??
    ii) For Item1 demand on day2 , why the extra supply capacity of supplier i.e 5 more units has been used and why the supply from day4 to day6 of quantity 1 unit/day has not been used ??

    Abhishek,
    Review your pegging controls in the plan option and related profiles. For a capacity constrained ASCP plan, you should be using priority based pegging. Adjust the supply and demand windows to the range of time that you want the system to sort and rank your supplies and demands. Also check your demand priority rule in the plan options. Assuming you are using date based priority for the demands, you will see these demands ranked accordingly. You can see the demand priority calculated by ASCP in each peg's 'properties'. The supplies within that window have an implicit ranking based on supply type (firm, then real supplies that are non-firm, then new planned orders).
    For your supplier capacity question, check your profiles related to how supplier capacity is accumulated.
    Regards,
    Kevin

  • ASCP and Safety Stock Pegging

    Hi,
    in our ASCP plan, currently we have items with Safety Stock values manually inserted valid over all planning horizon.
    Therefore all the safety stock is NON-TRANSIENT.
    Actually we have Priority Based pegging with:
    MSC: Include Safety Stocks in Priority based Pegging: YES.
    What is appening is that ASCP peg On Hand quantities to FORECAST DEMAND, then pegs other supply type to SAFETY STOCK Demand.
    I would like ASCP to peg OH to Safety Stock Demand (DUE on the plan start date) before Forecast demand (due in the future).
    Someone knows how to obtain this "feature"?
    Thanks in advance.
    Giacomo

    Giacomo,
    I'll give you a few pointers, but this may be difficult to achieve. Try this as a test.
    I assume you have a constrained ASCP plan. This question wouldn't be as relevant in an unconstrained plan because the demands would just be calculated and priority pegging isn't that useful. .Is that correct, you have a constrained plan?
    The key point is that you mentioned is that you have NON-TRANSIENT safety stocks. This means that you are setting a value due today for 100 units and at the end of the plan, you still want to have 100 units of safety stock planned.
    ASCP priority pegging logic has these rules:
    1. Any supply quantity that pegs to NON-TRANSIENT safety stock CANNOT be used at a future date to peg to real demands. [It's not going to happen]
    2. Any Supply quantity that pegs to transient safety stock CAN be used at a future date (when the corresponding dip in safety stock occurs) to meet demands. [This means that it can release the supply and re-peg to a future demand].
    Independent Demands have a seeded demand priority by default. The first two below are set by a profile option, safety stock is always the lowest priority ( a number something like 99999 where the higher value is lower priority)
    1. Sales Order = 10,000*
    2. Forecast = 100,000*
    3. Safety Stock = 999,999 (not sure of this internal value)
    Set by a profile with a name like msc: default sales order priority
    For priority pegging setup instructions, please see the ascp user guide. The basics would be the use of two profiles mso: demand window size and mso supply window size. This determines how ascp will select and sort your supplies and demands for pegging. It starts at the first demand date or supply date and selects that many future days of demand and supply to sort and then peg.
    You also setup a priority rule that determines how ascp calculates priorities for pegging. To accomplish what you want to do, you would have a rule like
    1. MDS & Sales Order priority
    2. Schedule Date
    This is a commonly used example. The pegging process will the select the number of days you have chosen and sort the demands based on their prioirty.
    Sales orders are more important (to you) than safety stocks, but not forecasts. You want the safety stock to peg the on hand, not a future forecast. This can only happen because you have mso: demand window size set to a number of days where pegging sees the future demand in the same sort. I haven't seen this requirement (SS higher priority than forecast), so you'll need to test my suggestion.
    Set the value of MSC: Default forecast priority = A huge number (higher than 999999).
    The intent is to make the demand priority the SAME as a safety stock demand. In this case, with the priority rule I suggested, the schedule date will determine the pegging order.
    I think this will get you close. You can view the internal proirity calculated by ASCP for the independent demand by selecting that order in the pegging details and then rightclicking to select the properties. The pegging details wil show you the priority value that was used.
    Hope this helps.

  • How does CRM on Demand determine the highest priority Task?

    In the "My Homepage -> My Open Tasks" List there is a sortable priority column. If you have a number of tasks in the list with different priorities and click on the priority column they will be sorted in descending order by priority as follows:
    "1-High"
    "2-Medium"
    "3-Low"
    I have tried editing the order on the Edit Picklist screen for the Activity Priority field (by navigating to Admin -> Application Customization -> Activity -> Activity Field Setup) but this appears to have no effect on the priority sort order on in the Task List. I have also tried adding new values to the picklist and they always appear as the lowest priority.
    So my question is how does CRM on Demand determine that the priority picklist value "1-High" is the highest priority when sorting the tasks?

    There is a sort order on the activity applet based upon the priority field. As 1 comes before 2 and 3, it would be sorted to the top.

  • Demand management - Priority of Demand

    Dear friends,
    I have got one requirement as below
    User wish to enter Productwise demand & also the priority , based on available stk of components & SF goods , systems should tell us Which products & How much quantity can be produced?
    I can use one demand version for entering demand for this requirement but How a provision can be made for entering priority? One text field is available for item level but for entering a text you need to do 3/4 steps , is tedious job.
    Please suggest.

    >Dear colleague,
    Unfortunately there aren´t more available fields inisde MD61/2 to update the required additional information.
    maybe you cna use the Req. Plan number. , It is a at iniital screen.
    Myabe you can create a Req.Plan number for each priority.
    This information is also displayed in MD04,
    THis or maybe you can create a new requirement type for each priority. Aa copy to the one you have, and assign this new requirement type  to each item regarding the priority,
    Unfortunately the priority is a concept not used in Demand Management.
    thanks and regards,

Maybe you are looking for
