Define Multi-Site Planned Part

Explanation

This activity is used to define a planned part as a multi-site planned part. Multi-site planned parts can be used to improve the coordination between the activities among the sites in a supply chain. As distribution orders reduces the overheads of inter-site ordering, multi-site planned parts use distribution orders to perform order handling between internal customers and suppliers.   

It is possible for a site to supply another site with the same part. However the relationship between two sites should be in one direction and not bi-directional.    

When creating a Multi-Site Planned Part in Supplier for Purchase Part page activate the Multi-Site Planned Part option in the Indicators-section

Prerequisites

• The demand site must be an internal customer and the supplier site must be an internal supplier.
• The same inventory part needs to be defined in both the demand site and the supplier site.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:
