Offsetting Distribution Orders

Distribution planning is based on supplying relationships, as specified in the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session. Similar to purchase planning, first a supplying source is chosen, after which the distribution order is planned.

The lead time of the distribution order can be planned as follows:

If the carrier is specified for the supplying relationship, transportation time is used.
Without a carrier, the supply time from the supplying resource is planned.

Transportation time

If a carrier is provided in the supplying relationships, transportation time is planned between the addresses of the supplying warehouse and the receiving warehouse. The logic is the same as for planned purchase orders.

Note: If no distance is defined for the addresses, the calculated transport time is zero (no warning is given).

Supply time

If no carrier is provided, the supply lead time of the Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000) session is used instead. The supply resource, defined Supplying Relationships (cprpd7130m000), is used to link to the calendar.
