Question from Adark on Apr 30 at 3:54 AM We have the following regular 2 plant/companies situation:
A product is sold by plant A, and supplied by plant B
Forecast in the form of PIRs is maintained in A, and consumed by sales orders in A
STOs are created in plant A to order the product from B
Product is shipped from B to A, and then shipped to customer
For some customers a Drop-shipment process is required, that is the product is to be shipped to the customer directly from plant B.
Question: if we set up the sales order in A so that the supplying plant is B, then all logistics and financial transactions seems OK, except of planning: since forecasts belong to A, and sales Order belong to B, the forecasts are never consumed by sales order, and so double planning (in A and B) occurs. Moreover, if B has its own forecasts for the product, than the drop shipment sales order will consume it, wrongly.
It is difficult to artificially split the forecast between A and B.
Any solution?
Thanks,
