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
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.
Transactions
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
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:
Item requirements (shown as sales orders)
Sales orders
Production orders
Purchase orders
Planned production orders
Planned purchase orders
Planned transfers
Transfers
Purchase requisition
On hand inventory reservations
Note
Ensure that:
Your project has item requirements.
You have a well-defined master plan and that is run before you use project logistics.
