Description

Table OIDAP

One preferred plant and up to 4 alternative plants are used when plant determination is selected at the line-item level or a material on the Sales Order Entry level. Plant determination is based on the following set of variables:

  1. Sales area defined by:
  2. Customer Indicators from the ship-to party:
  3. One Material Indicator from the Material Master, either:

Example

Using plant determination, the system will read table OIDAP and determine the preferred plant for the line item material (or material group) based upon the ship-to party (country and transportation zone) in the current sales area. The storage location is also proposed if specified with the preferred plant.

When availability checking is enabled, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will be checked for sufficient quantity. If sufficient quantity is not available then the alternative plants (and storage locations if specified) will be searched in sequence until availability is found in o ne of them.

In the case where none of the alternative plants has enough stock, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will be proposed with the standard availability control selection screen.

Requirements

In order to use the plant determination functionality it is necessary to select plant determination by setting the PD indicator in the sales order entry screen at the item level before (or at the same time as) entering the line item details.

If plant determination is set to 'active' in the configuration of the sales document type, the line item indicator will be set by default.

It is also necessary to define the relevant fields in the ship-to party Customer Master record (country and transportation zone) and to define the material group in the Material Master (if this to be used as the material indicator).

Please note that this functionality is accessible only via the IS-Oil Sales Order Entry Screen.

Standard settings

Recommendation

Note that storage location is optional and availability checking can be performed for the whole plant if desired. Remember that only a material or a material group can be used as the material indicator.

Further notes

The plant determination indicator at the item level has higher priority than the one at the header level. In fact the latter only defaults the item-level indicators.

When availability checking is not enabled, the preferred plant (and storage location if specified) will always be used.
