Product Substitution

Hi,

We would like to model Product Substitution in IBP, however looks like its only supported by optimzer and with only at customer location as per below link.

We would like to consider the product substitutionacross network at SKU-DC , SKU-Plant using simple heuristics solution. Please confirm if this possible.

E.g. Substition chain , PLeadProduct -> POldProduct1 -> PoldProduct2

      Supply Network is Customer1 -> DC1 -> Plant

      Now Demand is only for PLeadProduct of 1000 @ Customer1.

    Initial Inventory Pleadproduct @ Cust1 - 100

    Initial Inventory POldProduct1 @ Cust1 - 100

    Initial Inventory PoldProduct2 @ Cust1 - 100

    Initial Inventory Pleadproduct @ DC1 - 100

    Initial Inventory POldProduct1 @ DC1 - 100

    Initial Inventory PoldProduct2 @ DC1 - 100

    Initial Inventory Pleadproduct @ Plant - 100

    Initial Inventory POldProduct1 @ Plant - 100

    Initial Inventory PoldProduct2 @ Plant - 100

    We expect Customer reciept of 700 to happen to Customer1 from DC1

    We expect trasport reciept of 400 to happen to DC1  from  Plant1

    We expect production of 100 to happen @ Plant1.

Thanks

Vivek
