Thanks Anil for the suggestions. We are using SNP Heuristics and hence needs this to work with Heuristics
1. We are not using Scheduling Agreements. We tried mapping it with simple Purchasing Info Records but were unsuccessful. The order type created by 9ASA considering vendor capacity is of type scheduling agreements and we were not able to change that.
2. The business requirement is to level the Preq going from Plant location to vendor. If we create a dummy resource at vendor location, we will have to run Heuristic at Vendor location which will create Planned orders at vendor location for the Preqs and capacity leveling will happen on these planned orders at vendor location whereas we want the Preqs to be leveled.
We thought of creating dummy resource at our plant location having the capacity of the vendor maintained and PPMs and then creating planned orders at our plant and leveling them. Once, we have these planned orders at our plant location we thought of ciffing them back and converting them to PReqs using MD15. We were not able to test them but I am not sure it will work What do you think?
3. CTM is ruled out as we are having Heuristics.
