Documentation

Definition
/SAPAPO/SNPCOSEX

Specifies the cost function for SNP.

Use

Cost functions are used by optimization-based planning in Supply Network Planning (SNP) to calculate the costs or procuring, producing, and transporting varying quantities of product.

• The cost function in the production data structure (PDS) defines the cost of production.
• The cost function must be maintained in SCM before the PDS is transferred to the relevant SCM system.

Dependencies

Example

You specify a quantity interval of 22,000 to 33,000 pieces with a fixed cost of 44,000 and a variable cost of 10. The quantity the SNP optimizer recommends for procurement, production, or transportation is 25,000 pieces. The system calculates the costs as follows:

44,000 + 10 x (25,000 - 22,000)
