Is this possible in PPDS?

Hello Experts,
I have a doubt regarding a scenario that we have to implement and I'm not sure if there is any standard functionality in PPDS that will allow us to do the following:
u2022     The component A is produced ( make to stock) normally in the location X, but when the tanks are full the component is moved to the location Y ( this is done manually by the planners as the storage capacities are not modeled in APO)
u2022     The business wants PPDS to see when the component is needed for the production of the final product and create a STR to bring the component back from location Y to location X instead of producing it at loc X
u2022     Is this possible in PPDS?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi,
It is possible with combination of GATP and PPDS. Only constraint is you plan based on sales order and not based on forcast requirement at finish product level.
Multilevel availability check with rule based availability check at component level can meet the requirement.
MATP is used when component is produced based on forcast and production of finish product is based on sales order and it checks whether components are available.
If finish product is produced based on forcast(PIR) above function cannot be used.
Let me know if finish product is produced based on forcast we can think of some other way.
