Delivery date PurOrd - SNP creates double receipts

[Former Member]

Hello,

Material X (externally procured) has a planned delivery time from vendor of 21 days but occasionally due to certain reasons the vendor changes the delivery date in the purchase order to a date more than 21 days.

Note: We use SNP location heuristic for procurement planning.

Now, though a purchase order already exists for the given demand still the next SNP run creates additional/another PurReq for the same demand.

He thinks the Purchase Order is too late to be satisfied hence considers it to be lost. Please advice where

can I make appropriate changes/ settings to solve this situation. Are there any delivery date tolerance limits or whatever to solve this situation?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Team Usap,

Standard SNP heuristics will behave as you have described.

To solve this issue, you can modify macro of stock on hand, in which it will look for values in key figure "distribution recipt (TLB confirmed)" for entire horizon.

This should definately solve the issue.
