Define Multi-Site Planned Part

Explanation

This activity is used to define a planned part as a multi-site planned part. Multi-site planned parts can be used to improve the coordination between the activities among the sites in a supply chain. As distribution orders reduces the overheads of inter-site ordering, multi-site planned parts use distribution orders to perform order handling between internal customers and suppliers.   

It is possible for a site to supply another site with the same part. However the relationship between two sites should be in one direction and not bi-directional.    

Prerequisites

• The demand site must be an internal customer and the supplier site must be an internal supplier.
• The same inventory part needs to be defined in both the demand site and the supplier site.
• If you need to specify the Manufactured/Acquired split details for the planned inventory part, you need to specify those in the Manufactured/Acquired Split area in the Inventory Part/Planning Data tab.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The system creates multi-site planned parts.
• In the Inventory Part/Acquisition tab, the Multi-Site Planned Part check box is selected if the supplier part records are multi-site planned parts.
