SB,

I don't see a problem. Sourcing is generally dependent upon master data. Source=destination is OK in some scenarios.

If you don't want the source=destination for a planned order, what do you think the source should be instead?

Thanks for response.

Yes agree it depends on master data but TL is set up as Plant A source and DC B as destination

Source can be supplying plant and destination can be receiving plant....cant be?

SB,

To restate your problem:

You have a product master in Distribution Center location B

You have the same product master in Plant location A

You have a TL for this material A>B

When you create a planned order for this material in plant B, the source defaults to B.

Please confirm. If necessary, create a planned order manually against B in APO to see the behavior.

Normally, location to location transfers like this are via STO. Is this the business process you are trying to execute? Or do you have a different business process?

Your problem indicates that the planned order seems to be finding another source. There could be a defect in your TL, or you have additional sourcing info, such as a PPM. A quota arrangement can also impact sourcing.

You can rule out TL problems if there are other materials assigned to this TL, which work ok.

Other than that, first check for product master differences between parts that work, and parts that don't work.

SB,

Ok, now you are mentioning 'Planning Book', should I assume that you are having this problem in SNP? and not in PP/DS?

So, to recap:

You have a product master in Distribution Center location B, with external procurement set

You have the same product master in Plant location A

You have a TL for this material A>B

When you create a Purchase Requisition for this material in plant B, the source sometimes(?) defaults to B. Is there any pattern? One material? One TL? One time frame? Completely random?

You have validated that this happens with some materials assigned to your A>B TL, but not with others. Please confirm.

You have validated that the B product Masters are set up exactly the same between materials that 'work' and materials that 'don't work'. Please confirm

You also seem to be saying that the detail displayed in the SNP book is different from the RRP3 orders, please confirm.

Does this happen consistently with a particular material? Or does a single material work OK one day, but not the next?

Best Regards,
