| | DMS planning and processingLN provides three methods of DMS planning: DMS upon Receipt DMS planning comprises the following steps: - Receive items using the Warehouse Receipts (whinh3512m000) session.
- Start the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session. You can do this at
various moments and in several ways after you confirm receipt.
-
DMS does the following: - Determines demand from each warehouse within the warehouse supply structure.
- Nets demand against on hand stock and open (cross-dock)
orders.
- Prioritizes demand based on planning priority rules.
- Assigns received goods to demand, according to
priority.
- Assigns any on hand inventory to demand, according to
priority.
- Users can change priorities and reassign
quantities.
- Users must approve the assigned quantities.
- Users can process assigned quantities according to the
priorities.
As a result, LN will generate:
DMS upon SFC Receipt For SFC production orders, DMS planning can be
run: After reporting an operation complete If DMS is a step in the routing and if an operation has the DMS on Completion check box selected, DMS runs automatically after
reporting the operation complete. In this case, however, no cross-dock orders
and/or transfer orders will be generated. Instead, the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session will only show current
demand and the distribution of supply, thus offering a preview of the DMS run
during or after receipt. During or after confirm receipt The DMS upon SFC Receipt setting indicates whether and, if so, in what way,
DMS will be run when receiving an SFC production order. Otherwise, DMS upon SFC Receipt comprises the same steps as DMS upon Receipt.
DMS on Inventory You can run DMS planning in various situations: - To apply DMS planning to the inventory of the supply warehouse
only, users can select one or more inventory lines in the Warehouse - Item Inventory (whwmd2515m000) session, and then click Direct Material Supply Distribution on the appropriate menu.
- In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, users can generate outbound advice for
DMS items according to DMS planning rules.
- Upon receipt of items, depending on the DMS upon Receipt and DMS upon SFC Receipt settings.
In any situation, transfer orders can be generated to transfer
the inventory to warehouses with the highest-priority demand. DMS processing Regardless of the way in which DMS planning is carried out but
depending on the situation, cross-dock orders, transfer orders, and outbound
advice can be generated. DMS upon Receipt If received goods are required in other warehouses than the
supply warehouse, cross-dock orders are generated to cross-dock the goods in
the supply warehouse, and transfer orders are generated to transfer the goods
to the other warehouses. DMS on Inventory and outbound advice according to
DMS If you run DMS on inventory or through generate outbound
advice, no cross-dock orders are generated. Instead, outbound advice are
generated to get the goods out of the warehouse, and transfer orders will be
generated to transfer the goods to other warehouses. Inbounding goods If demand with the highest priority is in the supply warehouse
itself, the goods will be inbounded instead of transferred to other warehouses.
The goods can also be cross-docked in the warehouse for actual demand orders on
the warehouse. | |
