Hello experts,
we are using SNP heuristics to perform simple replenishment from a DC/Hub location into another location. The target location has a compliance restriction now on how much of a certain product per month are allowed to be procured.
Example:
Target loc 2000 must not order more than 500.000 unit per month of product A from location 1000 (ignoring if this leads to under coverage of the demand in location 2000). This qty restrictions applies only to some selected products - not to all product coming into loaction 2000.
We checked following options - but none is really suitable:
- using SNP inbound quota arrangement with a single source - but there is no way of using an "absolute value" per month for a source.
- using "max stock qty" option in material master - this won't help since the SNP heuristic will keep creating PReqs if there is more demand and we are not able to stock the total monthly qty in the warehouse anyway
- controlling the shipping qty via GATP allocation schemes is to late in the process - we are looking for avoiding SNP replenishment proposals in the beginning
Does anybody have an idea how we could model this in APO-SNP heuristics at the target location ?
Regards
Thomas
