Sources of supplySourcing is the method to determine the source of supply for a plan item to satisfy demand. Sourcing can be defined on two levels:
The supplying relationships between planning clusters can be defined to represent the links between warehouses linked to different sites. Five sources of supply Enterprise Planning works with five sources of supply:
The sourcing strategy of the plan item is based on the data specified in the Item - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000) session. Sourcing strategies allow you to use a combination of multiple supply sources at the same time, or one after another. Note Items with the supply source Assembly are planned in the Assembly Planning module. The use of sourcing strategies If you generate a master plan or planned orders, LN first searches for a valid sourcing strategy in the Sourcing Strategy (cprpd7110m000) session. You can link a sourcing strategy directly to a plan item, or link the sourcing strategy indirectly, via a planning cluster or item group. If LN finds no effective sourcing strategy, LN uses the default supply source. For more information, refer to Sourcing strategies overview. Note LN generates a signal if you define a sourcing strategy for a plan item for which a date effectivity definition exists.
