Use project logistics to view the relation between a project and the orders that are directly or indirectly created for the project.
In an advanced discrete manufacturing environment, the supply chain planning is very important.
Product demand can come from all levels of projects.
The product demand must be covered in time to have it in place.
Project logistics enables master planning by project and provides material availability overview by project.
You can use different types of transactions to cover the product demand.
You get an overview of the transactions for a selected project and a good insight into the progress of the supply chain planning of that project.
Project logistics gives you an overview of the selected project. All its sub-projects, activities, and related product demand lines, including BOM lines, are shown.
It also shows how these product demand lines are covered. The coverage can be a hard allocation, but it can also come from master planning (anonymous orders).
This information is shown in the Project logistics hierarchy:
Note:
Ensure that:

Use project logistics to view the relation between a project and the orders that are directly or indirectly created for the project. It also shows how these product demand lines are covered. Project logistics information is updated by the master plan. This information is shown in a hierarchy with the project structure from the level that the project logistics is opened from. All project levels beneath the opened level are shown. Select a node in the hierarchy to view detailed information. The coverage can be a hard allocation, but it can also come from master planning (anonymous orders). The legend explains the used acronyms and the symbols. |
