Hello gurus,
I got a CTM planning logic concern on how demand is being pegged by CTM run and how it is being prioritized. I know that this can be controlled in CTM settings strategies tab but this sample scenario made me confused...
I have a two demands:
demand 1 = 1000 dated 01.01.2014
demand 2 = 500 dated 03.02.2014
I only have 100 stocks on the week before demand 1.
What I find weird is that after my CTM run, it created Planned Order pegged to demand 2 only.
05.01.2014 = 300 ==> pegged to demand 2
12.01.2014 = 100 ==> pegged to demand 2
19.01.2014 = 100 ==> pegged to demand 2
The one pegged to demand 1 is the remaining stock of 100, which is obviously cannot fulfill it.
My demand prioritization in CTM is Material Availability Date. So in my understanding, CTM should create planned order prioritizing demand 1 since it is the one with earlier MAD.
Is there any other settings that controls this scenario? ALso, can you give me more information how the system would know how it will peg the stocks and planned orders in a demand?
And how they were prioritized?
Thanks in advance!
