Vehicle capacities

The SCV model is extended to specify vehicle capacity for each transportation method and number of vehicles for each transportation route.

See CloudSuite SCP platform changes for details. Supply Planning incorporates SCV changes to define maximum shipments for each route (that is Transport Route Max) as vehicle capacity *number of vehicles, which is sent as a constraint to the Supply Chain Optimization engine (SCO).

New measures Vehicle Capacity and Number of Vehicles are imported from SCV. Number of Vehicles for each period is imported from an SCV planning configuration table (SM_TRANSPORTATION_ROUTE_BUCKETS) and changes made in Supply Planning are exported to SCV as part of the scenario publish of the supply plan. These details can be modified from the Transport Information maintenance worksheet.

There is an additional valid combination measure Transportation Routes Out to define outbound transportation routes.

These code lists are added:
  • SPLS_SupplyTransportNodes
  • SPLS_SupplyTransportParent1
  • SPLS_SupplyTransportParent2
  • SPLS_SupplyTransportTopNode
These hierarchies are added to hold transport locations:
  • SPLS_Transports 2L
  • SPLS_Transports 3L
  • SPLS_Transports 4L - included in standard supply cycles by default
These measures are added:
  • Number of Vehicles (SPLS_ROUTE_VEHICLE_COUNT)
  • Number of Vehicles (SPLS_ROUTE_VEHICLE_COUNT_BUCKET)
  • Vehicle Capacity (SPLS_ROUTE_VEHICLE_CAPACITY)
  • Transport Route Max (SPLS_TRANSPORT_ROUTE_MAX) - including SUM and COUNT
  • Transport Route Max Bucket (SPLS_TRANSPORT_ROUTE_MAX_BUCKET)
  • Transport Route Out Max (SPLS_TRANSPORT_ROUTE_OUT_MAX) - including SUM and COUNT
  • Transport Route Out Max Bucket (SPLS_TRANSPORT_ROUTE_OUT_MAX_BUCKET)
  • Transportation Routes Out (SPLS_ROUTEOUT_TUPLE)
These interface services added to import related master data from SCV:
  • SPLS - SCV -Import SPLS_SupplyTransportNodes
  • SPLS - SCV -Import SPLS_SupplyTransportParent1
  • SPLS - SCV -Import SPLS_SupplyTransportParent2
  • SPLS - SCV -Import SPLS_SupplyTransportTopNode
These interface services are added to import constraints from SCV:
  • SPLS - SCV -Import Routes Calendar
  • SPLS - SCV -Import Routes Out Tuple
This interface service is added to send adjustments to the number of vehicles by period to SCV:
  • SPLS - SCV -Export Values SM_TRANSPORTATION_ROUTE_BUCKETS
This interface service is modified to send constraints to SCO:
  • SPLS - AP -Export Routes Out - uses Transportation Routes Out
Standard supply process macros are updated to include the new interfaces:
  • Supply - Import Master Data from SCV
  • Supply - Import Scenario
These worksheets are added to modify the Route Out values and use the new Hierarchy and Level Sets:
  • Transportation Routes Out - maintain Transport Route Out Max default
  • Transportation Routes Out Time-Phased - maintain Transport Route Out Max for time periods
These worksheets are updated:
  • Transportation Routes - changed to use new location set {[%locations% SET_Transport Locations]}. Removed Transport Route Out Max
  • Transportation Routes Time Phased - maintain Number of Vehicles for time periods. Removed Transport Route Out Max.

New and modified worksheets are part of the Transport Information maintenance worksheet.
