Maintain restriction profiles for PO-based load building

In this step you define restriction profiles for each vendor or combination of vendor and plant.

In a second step you then assign restrictions and restriction categories to the profiles.

Each restriction must have a quantity, volume, weight or value defined for it. Condition type and LB tolerance can also be maintained.

Requirements

Your R/3 System is configured as an

SAP Retail System.

Standard Settings

The standard system contains a sample record for optimizing based on minimum and maximum gross weight.

Recommendation

Notes on the use of the "Multiple" restriction profile:
This restriction profile should be considered as a maximum restriction that applies locally. It is used by retailers to take account of larger quantities that often have to be ordered
In the case of deliveries that exceed the capacity of a truck every day, the "Multiple" restriction profile can be used to build loads on the basis of the volume of the truck.
It does not make sense to define a "minimum" restriction (e.g. weight) for a "Multiple" restriction profile (e.g. number of pallets).
Example: Restriction profile "Multiple" of 3 PAL and minimum weight of 2 TO, whereby 3 pallets weigh less than 2 tonnes.

Further Notes

The condition type functionality is not yet supported in Release 4.5A.

When selecting internal restrictions, values X1 through X9 cannot be used yet in Release 4.5A.
