DMS and demandTo determine and prioritize demand, LN will consider the following: Warehouse-item combination DMS can only be run for a warehouse-item combination for which the DMS Supplied check box is selected and one of the DMS upon Receipt/ DMS on Inventory options is set. If you run DMS for a supply warehouse, LN only considers demand from other (destination) warehouses that are DMS Supplied, and that have a relationship with the supply warehouse, as defined in the Warehouse Supply Structures (whinh6140m000) session. For more information, refer to Warehouse supply structures. DMS planning horizon The planning horizon of the destination warehouse-item as defined in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session, determines demand that is taken into account when DMS is run in a supply warehouse. Demand for a date beyond the planning horizon is ignored. In the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) and Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) sessions, you can define two planning horizons for the destination warehouse:
If the DMS planning horizon for destination warehouse WH2 and item X is 90 days, demand up to 90 days will be considered for that DMS-supplied warehouse, regardless of any DMS planning horizon settings for supply warehouses. Note
DMS demand type For DMS, the type of demand from destination warehouses can be taken into account. For this purpose, you can define two demand-type parameters in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) and Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) sessions:
The following demand types exist:
If you select one option, any preceding options are included as well. For example, if you select Planned Orders, Warehousing Orders and Planned Inventory Transactions are also included. Note
Example The following example illustrates how the planning horizon and demand type settings determine demand to be handled by DMS when goods are received at warehouse WH1. Setup: Result: Explanation
Priority rules If you run DMS planning, LN assigns a priority to each demand instance. The priority is compiled based on the rules as defined in planning priority rules and assigned by LN to each demand instance. Users can change these priorities when they run the Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000) session. For more information, refer to Planning priority rules.
