| Warehouse supply structuresDefining warehouse supply structures To set up a warehouse supply structure, take the following
steps: - In the Warehouse Supply Structures (whinh6140m000) session, enter a new code and an
appropriate description.
- On the appropriate menu, click Supply Relationships.
- In the Warehouse Supply Structure Relationships (whinh6141m000) session, add relationships, as
required.
Example To create the following supply structure... Warehouse Supply Structure STRUCT1 | Supply Warehouse | Destination Warehouse | Allow Supply from Receipt | Allow Supply from SFC Receipt | Allow Supply from Inventory | A | B, B1, B2, E | Yes | Yes | Yes | A | C,
C1, C2 | Yes | No | Yes | B | B1,
B2 | Yes | Yes | No | C | C1, C2 | No | No | Yes | E | E1,
E2 | Yes | Yes | No |
...you must define the following one-to-one
relationships: Warehouse Supply Structure STRUCT1 | Supply Warehouse | Destination Warehouse | Allow Supply from Receipt | Allow Supply from SFC Receipt | Allow Supply from Inventory | A | B | Yes | Yes | Yes | A | B1 | Yes | Yes | Yes | A | B2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | A | E | Yes | Yes | Yes | A | C | Yes | No | Yes | A | C1 | Yes | No | Yes | A | C2 | Yes | No | Yes | B | B1 | Yes | Yes | No | B | B2 | Yes | Yes | No | C | C1 | No | No | Yes | C | C2 | No | No | Yes | E | E1 | Yes | Yes | No | E | E2 | Yes | Yes | No |
To define a relationship between a single warehouse and all
other warehouses, leave the opposite warehouse type field empty. In the
following example, supply from inventory is permitted for supply warehouse A to
all other destination warehouses: Warehouse Supply Structure STRUCT1 | Supply Warehouse | Destination Warehouse | Allow Supply from Receipt | Allow Supply from SFC Receipt | Allow Supply from Inventory | A | | No | No | Yes |
Important! After you define a supply structure, you must specify the
structure in the corresponding field on the Miscellaneous tab of the User Profiles (whwmd1540m000) session. Otherwise, you cannot use DMS. Using warehouse supply structures Warehouse supply structure relationships are taken into account
when DMS planning is carried out. If you start DMS planning for a specific warehouse-item
combination, LN checks
which supply relationships apply to the current process. For each applicable
supply relationship, the warehouse supply structure is consulted to check for
which destination warehouses demand should be considered. For the previous example, this means that after a receipt
confirmation of an SFC order in warehouse A, demand in warehouses B, B1, B2 and
E is taken into account. Note Only demand from DMS-supplied warehouses in the same warehouse
supply cluster is taken into account. This includes demand directly on the
supply warehouse. To determine whether a destination warehouse can be supplied, LN performs the
following steps: - If, in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Use Warehouse Supply Structures check box is cleared, no restrictions on
supply relationships exist and all supply relationships are permitted. LN performs no further
checks.
- If the Use Warehouse Supply Structures check box is selected, the user profile
for the current user is retrieved. If no user profile exists or if the supply
structure is empty for the user, the user is not authorized to run DMS and,
consequently, the destination warehouse cannot be supplied.
- If the user is authorized to run DMS for a supply structure,
the relationship for the supply warehouse and the destination warehouses is
searched in the warehouse supply structure relationships. If such a
relationship applies (current date is between Effective Date and Expiry Date), this relationship is used to determine
whether the destination warehouse can be supplied.
- If, in the supply structure, no relationship exists for the
supply warehouse and the destination warehouse, or if that relationship no
longer applies, a relationship for the supply warehouse and an empty
destination warehouse is searched. If this type of relationship applies
(current date is between Effective Date and Expiry Date), this relationship is used to determine
whether the destination warehouse can be supplied.
- If, in the supply structure, no relationship exists for the
supply warehouse and an empty destination warehouse, or if that relationship no
longer applies, a relationship for an empty supply warehouse and an empty
destination warehouse is searched. If this type of relationship appliies
(current date is between Effective Date and Expiry Date), this relationship is used to determine
whether the destination warehouse can be supplied.
- If no (effective) relationship is found, the destination
warehouse cannot be supplied.
