Rationing available stock at the DC across multiple orders by priority

Hi experts,
We have a business requirement to ration available stock held at the DC across multiple orders in the situation of a shortage.
The requirement is to do this rationing is based on the document type of the originating STO and Ordering Site classification, so that the most significant order type and most significant store gets the available inventory first.
We have 5 primary store STO document types and we wish to classify them from 1 to 5, 1 being the most imporant.
We also have circa 300 stores and likewise wish to classify them 1 - c.300, 1 being the most important.
Using this classification data we want to generate Outbound Deliveries from the STOs.
A simple example:
We have a Qty of 20 pieces of Article 1 in the DC available:
The following STOs have been generated:
Doc. Type 1 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
Doc. Type 1 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
Doc. Type 2 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
Doc. Type 2 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 15
We would expect the following Outbound Deliveries to be generated:
OBD 1 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
OBD 2 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
OBD 3 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
We need this processing to take place in the shortest possible time, as we have strict timings around orders being available in the DC WMS for picking due to a short lead time. We therefore want to maximise parallel processing, rather than just sequencing the running of VL10B to be one order type and one store at a time.
Any ideas on how best to achieve this requirement and how you would approach it?
Has anyone done similar types of rationing before?
Many thanks in advance!
David

Hi James,
Thanks for the information, we are using IS Retail 4.7.
The complexity we face is that we need to create outbound deliveries off a collective STO generated via Merchandise Distribution with SLS. So this STO is effectively one site along the chain from the originating store.
We're trying to ration the stock at the source DC across the collective STOs by Document Type and Originating store.
So that the most important Order (IE promotion etc) and the most important / profitable store get the stock.
For example, we wouldn't want our "New Store STOs" (of which the store may not have even opened yet) and not be able to give any stock to our biggest store who's get a promotion this weekend.
I know the simple answer is don't run out of stock, but we try to run a tight ship on quite a few articles, so we need to ensure we give it to the right store and for the right reason.
Hope that helps explain the scenario in more detail.
Many thanks,
Dave

Is the (stock) content the same across the online/self-paced, online/instructor-led, and classroom/instructor-led courses?

Apologies if this isn't the most appropriate forum.
My question is primarily about the LabVIEW Core 1 - Core 3 and TestStand 1 classes.
Is the stock content the same in the 3 aforementioned formats? By stock I mean "excluding any additional material presented in response to a question asked by a student".
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The content should be identical.
The only exceptions I have seen is with certain demonstrations or exercises which can't be done without physical access to the system.
For example in the online Real-Time class you can't personally connect the hardware to the temperature chamber, so instead you can see the hardware already set up and interact with it.
Instructors often also add some of their personal experience to the classes and may explain differerent sections differently.

Pop up showing material stock at the level of sales order creation

Dear Friends,
Could anybody please suggest me whether it is possible to bring a pop up while creating sales order, at the material entry stage, to show the existing stock of the material. I mean as soon as the material is entered, system throws a pop up showing the existing stock of that particular material.
Kindly let me know whether this could be achieved through configuration only or some kind of development needs to be done for the same.

Linked files broken in Photoshop CC 2014 when working in the cloud across multiple computers (PC and Mac)

I'm using the new linked file option in Photoshop CC 2014, which is great. I'm working with my files in the cloud, however because I'm working on both a PC and Mac it breaks them links every time I save the file. Is there a way around this?

Hi, yes I'm having the same issue. The problem is that Adobe is not correctly connecting the linked files. They are using absolute paths user/folder/folder this is just crazy and I hope they fix this.
Changing this will fix our issue.
I'm a professional web designer and I find the use of linked items really good. My workflow consists of creating a UI folder with different elements linked into photoshop documents saved in another folder.
UI - elements
Front page folder
Second page folder
etc.
Moving these folders is impossible. Making my life really hard.
Moving them to a network drive doesn't seem an option when you need to link all the files again, for each doc.
Adobe kudos on the idea now fix the paths so this is usable across computers.

How can I get my layout to look the same across multiple browswers?

Hello forums! How are you guys?
I use Dreamweaver to edit my layout for my site. However it looks fragmented on certain browsers and perfect on others.
www.ifuxkswiththat.com is the site.
Is there something that can keep this uniform amongst other browsers?
Check it on yours...it might work for you and it might not

Your best bet is to get it right in something like Firefox or Safari, and then use some conditional CSS to tweak it in IE browsers.
So put things like this in your header :

You can specify the particular IE browser above or use, for example <!--[if lte IE 7]> for IE 7 and below, or <!--[if lt IE 7]> for IE 6 and below.

Budget error while issuing stock to the project based production order

Ours is project based Engineering company, we mfg euipments for the client which is part of the project.
We define separate WBS element for equipment to be manufacture & create reservation under this WBS element.
Secondly we follow production process through PP & define BOM for equipment which contains component rquired to mfg the equipment. To control cost(budget) component group wise we create separate sub WBS element for each component group(plates, motors etc) under above equipment WBS element
Kindly refer e.g.below
1. Equipment (Finished code) to be manufacture is attached on WBS MYC-210952-06-03
2. Production order(1003780) created with reference to above WBS element
3 Material procured under WBS MYC-210952-06-03-001
4. Stock available under WBS MYC-210952-06-03-001
We would like to issue material available under MYC-210952-06-03-001 to production order which is attached to WBS MYC-210952-06-03. (Tcode MB1A)
System allows to issue stock, but gives budget error.
Is it possible to transfer budget auto in the transaction MB1A itself from MYC-210952-06-03-001 to MYC-210952-06-03 or what is the best solution available for above situation.
Kindly confirm.
Thanks & regards
Sanjay Karnekar

Hi Sanjay,
You have consumed a budget at lower level WBS for material procurement. And at upper level you want to do stock transfer.
But while doing budget allocation you have distributed the budget from Upper level to lower level so there is no distributable value is avaialble at upper level for the amount of the materail stock you want to transfer.
In this either you have to keep your all budget values at upper level where your doing equipment aeembly and not distribute the budget further at lower level.
Now you alredy this so you cant do anything.
Now you have following option available with you. You have perform following activity by the given sequence.
Deactivate the Budget check by CJBW
Do your stock transfer
Do budget return by CJ38 from level WBS to upper level WBS
Now Activate the budget check by CJBV.

Hi David,
You need to create a new allocation program for rationing the stocks to the stos. Once the STOs are created, run this program
to allocate or commit the stocks based on your logic.
Later you can create the deliveries based on the committed stocks of STOs.

Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
Hello Everybody!
Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
• Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
The advantages include:
- Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
- The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
- The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
The disadvantages to this system include.
- The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
- If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
- There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
- Fast User Switching must be enabled.
Overview:
A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
Process:
Step 1:
Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
Overview:
So far we have done the following steps:
1. Organized the host library.
2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
Step 2:
Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
Overview:
In this step we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
Step 3:
Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
4a. with the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
empty trash
end tell
return input
end run
IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
Overview:
Here we:
1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
Step 4:
If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
Summary:
We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.
regards,
Pete.

MRP - MD04 and special stocks - how to manipulate exclusion in Avail.Stock

Hello,
I have the following question about the Avalable stock which appears in the MD04 trx. for a material in a Plant.
This Stock Available normally includes stock "Unrestricted Use" and one can customize the inclusion of Blocked Stock, Restricted use Stock, and "Stock in transfer" in this Stock Available.
My question is related to the other types of stock which appear in the MD04 as included in the Available Stock (Quality control, returns, Consignment, Valuated Stock at Vendor,etc.)
Where can I manipulate theis inclusion or exclusion of these types of stock in the "Stock Available" in the MD04? Is this Config or do I have to activate a user exit?
The stock Type "Material Packing - Lending" also can be excluded from the Available Stock in the MD04?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Thanks for the replies,
Maybe I did not state my question well:
My Client uses "Stock in Consignment" and "Stock of Packaging in Lending" (both in Unrestricted use) in a Plant.
He does not want these stock types to play a part in MRP as available stock. In the MD04 trx. SAP estandard seems to include always in its Availbale stock these kinfd of stocks. Is there a way I can exclude them?
Thanks for any replies,
Aart

-ve stock in the pick storage bin

Hi All,
Here is the example that explains the problem we are having: If the outbound delivery has a quantity of 300, when processed using VL06P the TO is being created for 300 where as the actual available quantity in the pick bin is only 200. This is resulting in -ve availability stock at the pick storage type when we are checking in transaction LS26
What is required is create the TO for only the quantity that is available at the pick bin and avoid u2013ve stock at the pick storage type level
Can someone suggest what config is missing?
Thank you

Uncheck negative stock for the storage type you are picking from. IMG - LE- WM-Master Data-Define Stg Type uncheck 'Allow Negative Stock'.

CURSOR across multiple Regions

Hello,
I have a page that I need to display around 300 fields with custom html mixed in. Instead of creating all the page items, I want to just creat a CURSOR and use htp.print. My problem is that its a LOT of code. I want to break it apart across multiple regions. Is their a way to OPEN a cursor so that multiple regions can use it?
Or, back to the PHP days, is their an ARRAY that this can be loaded into and printed like a cursor when needed?

Is their a way to OPEN a cursor so that multiple regions can use it?You can have a process run before all regions to insert records into a collection(by a package call or PLSQL region).
Then refer to this collection in your regions(s)
<li>If you want to separte or split the content across, multiple "regions" , you cab generate them in the same PLSQL code that you posted.
For instance, you have a single PLSQL based region without any template which generate the HTML code that renders like multiple region.
In the Source, you can generate the HTML code for the region(s) in addition to printing out the data.
An Apex region normally consists of div or table elements given some styling using builtin classes(and matching the theme). So if you generate the same HTML, it would render the same as a region.You can copy the HTML content of any region template(or from the rendered page) and add that within the "htp.p" codes.
<li> A third option would be to generate the enclose different sections of your data in some identifiable HTML element and use Javascript to move them under the appropriate region.
Having said this, I have to agree with replies above,there could be a better way of displaying your data than generating the entire HTML yourself.Since you say about using a cursor, I guess multiple SQL reports regions would be a good starting point as they are used for displaying lots of records. You could tweak the look'n'feel with some kind of customized template, rather that redo the whole thing yourself.

Checking Stock (Available Stock)

Hi,
I have a requiremnt to develop a report to show Available Stock of the material.
While displaying the stock it should check the quantity of the open orders and duduct that from the stock.
i.e Available Stock = stock - quantity of open orders
As I know we can see all open orders using transaction VA05
or we can find all open orders in VBUK/VBUP with status = A
from where we can calculate the quatity of open orders.
but I have gone through one program in which the developer used table VBBE and field OMENG for quantity of open orders,
here I have noticed that I have taken some orders where we get using transaction VA05 but those orders not exist in table VBBE so I am bit confused in this, please let me know if any one have clear idea on this...
Thanks in Advance

Delivery with available stock

Dear Experts
when we run delivery due list,system list out the list of deliveries dues today,After selection of some deliveries we do background delivery,system save the deliveries regardless of available stock of the items.IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHECK THE AVAILABILITY WHEN WE CREATE THE DELIVERY
when sales user send the list of deliveries due for PGI to despatch dept.How to make sure that the stock of that items are available
Regards,
Murali.R

Dear Murali,
You can activate the atp check on delivery item category level in the img. If you want to have an availability check during delivery creation make sure the flag Availability Check Off is not set.
(-> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Item Categories for Deliveries).
Also make sure the combination of availability check group and checking rule "B" only contains ticks on the stock side.

Gradient Annotator across multiple objects - weirdness

I have six rectangles in a row. I apply a radial gradient to them as a whole, by dragging the Gradient Tool. According to the documentation for CS4, that's what you do if you want only one Gradient Annotator across multiple objects. Problem is, I can see the Annotator, but not the color stops. If I deselect all, and select only one rectangle, I can see and move the stops, but it only effects the selected shape. Further, if I group the objects, the Annotator doesn't appear at all, and when I UNgroup, I get six Annotators.
None of these examples behave as I think they should. Yes, I have "Show Gradient Annotator" on in the View menu. I've worked with the Annotator a fair amount, but it's always seemed buggy.
What I want to do is apply the gradient across multiple objects, as in example 1, then edit it across multiple objects. Is that so hard?

It is still not actually one gradient and you do see actually the
annotator with four elements one for each object but if you change the
fills you can see them with the annotator which the originally says
they cannot see, which is true unless you hover the cursor or one of
the annotator you only have to change the fill in one o change them all
in a relative manner.
The compound path method will adjust the gradient by stretching the
annotator or actually the gradient and that might be desired on many
occasions.
the only difference between prior versions is that you can adjust the
markers at the target object or group and you have more directional
control as well even if the annotator is a bit ugly and unwieldy.
In order to see four annotators one seems to have either unselect the
object then select them again and the gradient tool or find some kind
of sweet spot to make them show up with the markers as you hover.
Still no gradient that follows the path and no radar gradient.
