Sourcing Strategy (cprpd7110m000)

You can carry out distribution planning with product families, because each plan level has its own sourcing rules and supply rules.

planning cluster

item group

plan item

Note:

This is the item code without the planning cluster segment, because this segment is not used.
If you leave this field empty, the sourcing strategy is defined on item group level or on planning cluster level.

Effectivity

Effectivity Date

The effective date of the sourcing strategy.

Standard Configuration

If this check box is selected, this sourcing strategy is valid for the standard configuration. If you do not define an exception, LN takes into account this sourcing strategy to plan supply during the time interval displayed in the Effectivity group box.

You can link an exception to the sourcing strategy for which you selected the Standard Configuration check box. In that case, you must clear the Valid check box in the Exceptions (tcuef0105m000), which means that LN does not take into account the sourcing strategy to plan supply. In other words, you can only define an exception to make the corresponding sourcing strategy unavailable for planning.

If there are no exceptions present, LN automatically selects the Standard Configuration check box.

You can clear the Standard Configuration check box after you linked the exception.

Expiry Date

The expiry date of the sourcing strategy.

Exceptions Present

If this check box is selected, an exception is defined for the corresponding sourcing strategy in the Exceptions (tcuef0105m000) session. If the Standard Configuration check box is also selected, the exception states that the standard configuration is not valid.

If this check box is cleared, no exceptions are defined for the corresponding sourcing strategy. LN takes into account the corresponding sourcing strategy during the time interval displayed in the Effectivity group box.

Reason

In this field you can enter a description for this strategy.

Allocation

Source Allocation Rule

source allocation rule

This field defines how a volume is divided over the different supply sources. The rule selection determines the interpretation of the following fields:

Distribution
Job Shop
Purchase

Note: In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of this field.

Allowed values

Percentage: The volumes are divided over the supply sources on the basis of percentages.
Priority: The volumes are divided over the supply sources on the basis of priorities. The source with the highest priority is planned first. If this source cannot is not able to deliver, LN tries the second source, and so on.

Distribution

You can If the source allocation rule is Percentage, the Distribution field is interpreted as the percentage of the requirements that is covered by planned distribution orders.

If the source allocation rule is Priority, the Distribution field is interpreted as the priority of the planned distribution orders compared to other supply sources.

Note:

In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of the Source Allocation Rule field.
LN does not create orders for more than the required order quantity, even if the order volume drops below the minimum volume.

Job Shop

If the source allocation rule is Percentage, the Job Shop field is interpreted as the percentage of the requirements that is covered by planned production orders.

If the source allocation rule is Priority, the Job Shop field is interpreted as the priority of the planned production orders compared to other supply sources.

Note:

In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of the Source Allocation Rule field.
LN does not create orders for more than the required order quantity, even if the order volume drops below the minimum volume.

Repetitive

If the source allocation rule is Repetitive, the Repetitive field is interpreted as the priority of the repetitive scheduling.

Note:

In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of the Source Allocation Rule field.
LN does not create orders for more than the required order quantity, even if the order volume drops below the minimum volume.

Purchase

If the source allocation rule is Percentage, the Purchase field is interpreted as the percentage of the requirements that is covered by planned purchase orders.

If the source allocation rule is Priority, the Purchase field is interpreted as the priority of the planned purchase orders compared to other supply sources.

Note:

In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of the Source Allocation Rule field.
LN does not create orders for more than the required order quantity, even if the order volume drops below the minimum volume.

Subcontract

If the source allocation rule is Subcontract, the Subcontract field is interpreted as the priority for subcontracting orders.

Note:

In master planning, every source allocation rule is interpreted as a Percentage source allocation rule, regardless of the value of the Source Allocation Rule field.
LN does not create orders for more than the required order quantity, even if the order volume drops below the minimum volume.
