Data Realignment for Changed Stocking/Destocking Decision 

Use

If the replenishment indicator for a location product changes, the planning service “SPP: Data Real. For Stocking/Destocking“ must realign the demand history data. This means for example that if the inventory planning service no longer decides to build up stock at a location for which it had planned stocking, the planning service must realign the demand history data.

Prerequisites

You have scheduled the planning service “SPP: Data Rea. For Stocking/Destocking“(SPP_PDEM_STOCKING_RLG) in the Planning Service Manager (PSM). For more information, see Use of the Planning Service Manager in SPP and PSM Services for Demand History Creation.

Features

The planning service “SPP: Data Real. For Stocking/Destocking” performs a general availability check for all order items that contains products in the PSM product selection. In doing so, the planning service checks whether there are new customer-facing locations or new stockholding locations for the order items. If so, it generates data realignment steps for the order items, performs them, and creates a new demand history from the changed order items.

The planning service writes the changed data to the DataStore objects 9ARAWCRT and 9ADEMCRT.

It also deletes the trigger SPP_REPL_INDI_CHANGE and sets the trigger SPP_RLG_DONE. This triggers the forecasting service.

Example

The following figure shows a two-level BOD. The entry location Montreal is on the first level. The child location Dallas and the virtual child location Montreal are on the second level. Dallas is the customer-facing location as well as the first stockholding location and the ship-from location.

If you or the inventory balancing service now changes the replenishment indicator at Dallas from Stockholding to Non-Stockholding, Dallas remains a customer-facing location and a ship-to location, but the first stockholding location is now Montreal.

This means that the system must assign all sales orders with Dallas as the first stockholding location to a new stockholding location, in this case Montreal. The demand history of the location products with the locations Montreal and Dallas is therefore changed.
