To set up borrow/loan and payback transfers

The setup of borrow/loan and payback transfers includes both company wide and planning-group level settings.

Note

Before setting up borrow/loan and payback transfers, you must set up project pegging.

  1. Company level
    In the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session, select the Use Available to Transfer check box.
  2. Company level

    In the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session:

    • Select the Borrow/Loan and Payback check box to activate borrow/loan and payback transfers.

      In the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, you can deactivate borrow/loan transfers for individual planning groups, projects, elements or activities.

    • Select the Aging check box to enable finalization of borrow/loan transfers after a fixed period.
    • Set the Period.
    • Select the Log Borrow/Loan Transactions in Project check box if borrow/loan and payback transactions must be displayed in the Financial Transactions (tpppc2100m100) session.
    • Select the Ignore Cost Peg Transfer Rules for Paybacks check box if transfer rules must not be applied to payback transfers. For more information, refer to the next step.
  3. Planning group level

    In the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session:

    • Specify the planning groups, projects, elements or activities to which or from which cost peg transfers must be allowed.
    • Select the Use Available to Transfer check box to allow available to transfer (ATT) inventory to be transferred.
    • Specify Permanent or Borrow / Loan in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field.
Important

Borrow/loan transfers are generated if:

  • The parameters and transfer rules are defined.
  • Available to transfer (ATT) inventory is present for one or more projects.
  • The potential lending project can be paid back before the original demand is due.

    However, you can ignore the lending project's replenishment lead times by selecting the Ignore ATT Time Fence during Outbound check box in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session.

If more than one project is available from which to borrow inventory, LN selects the project with the latest demand date. This is to prevent shortages for the lending project.

However, if other projects have excess inventory, LN creates permanent transfers first. If none of the projects for which the setup allows cost peg transfers has sufficient ATT or excess inventory, LN creates an inventory shortage report.
