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 Item Data by Warehouse (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.
