DMS settings and master dataTo use direct material supply (DMS), you must first set a number of parameters and define master data. Step 1. Set parameters In the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, on the Cross-docking tab, do the following:
Step 2. Define priority rules Use the Priority Definitions (whinh6120m000) and Planning Priority Rules (whinh6122m000) sessions to define planning priority rules. When DMS is run, a priority is assigned to every demand. The priority is compiled based on these rules. Step 3. Set up master data DMS functionality must be enabled in the following sessions:
The settings in the first two sessions provide the enabling of DMS on item and warehouse levels. In turn, the settings in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session determine how DMS is used for a warehouse-item combination. In each of these sessions, select the DMS Supplied check box to enable the following fields:
Other DMS fields include the following:
To facilitate master-data setup, you can also define the four major fields by item type and item group in the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session. These settings serve as defaults for the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. Step 4. Set up warehouse supply structure Use the Warehouse Supply Structures (whinh6140m000) and Warehouse Supply Structure Relationships (whinh6141m000) sessions to define a warehouse supply structure. When you run DMS, LN takes this structure's supply relationships into account.
