Cost peg transfer settings for specific scenarios

The preferred availability of inventory for transfers determine how you set up cost peg transfers. This topic describes the setup required for a few typical scenarios.

Before setting up these scenarios, the general cost peg transfer and/or borrow/loan and payback setup is required.

Excess inventory only

If only excess inventory must be available for cost peg transfers:

1. Clear the Use Available to Transfer check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session.
2. In the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, clear the Use Available to Transfer check box and select Permanent in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field.

As a result, LN creates only permanent transfers.

Excess and ATT within lead time fences

If you want excess and ATT inventory with safe replenishment lead times to be available for cost peg transfers, you must select the Use Available to Transfer check box in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session. Based on this setting, the Enterprise Planning planning engine only creates permanent transfers. The outbound process can also create borrow/loan transfers if you also select transfer type Borrow / Loan in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session.

Use ATT inventory with or without lead time fences

You can also ignore the lead time fences while allowing ATT inventory to be available for cost peg transfers. See Use ATT inventory with or without lead time fences.

ATT inventory with minimum cost effects – borrow/loan and payback

To handle shortages of project pegged inventory identified during the outbound process, you can use the borrow/loan and payback procedure to temporarily transfer available to transfer (ATT) or excess inventory from other projects with minimum cost impact on either project.
