Hello,
We are in the early process of evaluating IS-Mills DIMP functionality based on ECC 6.0 and with SCM 7.0 and have a question related to gATP check for Batch Managed materials.
1) Question
·
Is it possible to perform a gATP check based on the Sales Order UOM and not the product Base UOM so that the order can be confirmed based on pieces in stock regardless of quantity available in Base UOM? (See scenario below)
2) Scenario
- Product Base unit of Measure is pounds (LB)
- Material is batch managed and is kept in inventory as stock material
- Sales order entered for unit of measure – “Roll”.
- Order quantity = 1 roll
- Per Material Master alternative UOM, 1 Roll = 1,000 LBs
- In stock, we have 1 batch representing 1 Roll however actual batch weight is 980 lbs (due to theoretical vs actual weight variances).
- When gATP check is executed in our system, it checks based on base UOM (lbs) and will never allow a full confirmation based on the customer ordered quantity of 1 Roll.
3) Business Requirement
- If customer ordered in UOM of 1 Roll and there is 1 Roll available in stock, Sales order line item should be fully confirmed regardless of weight of that actual batch in stock
We understand it is possible in ECC and ECC-DIMP systems, to define batch specific units of measure and define batches as “Single Unit batches”. We also saw there is also functionality in IS-Mills called “Sales Order Fulfillment with Requirements Reduction in Pieces but are not clear how this integrates into the gATP check.
4) Feedback requested
- Options in standard ECC (non IS-Mills) with APO
- Options in IS-Mills DIMP ECC with APO
Thank you
