ARUN Release Problem

Hello Team,

I am facing a issue with release in ARUN .

1. Consider all Open sales orders with a given date range of delivery: Configured using requirement selection.
2. Customer groups are present with diferent priority: Configured using grouping by delivery priority and sorting based on grouping priority and material
3. Allocation run to happen on spread logic at SKU level: Used Allocation logic 0004 for this.
4. Sales Order release should be color wise and a material/color should be release only if 70% of requirement for the material/color in sales order is fullfilled by the allocation: Used release rule, with 70% logic incorporated at Shedule line group. In sales order we have a user exit to populate the color of the material (dimension 1) in schedule line group.

Based on the above settings, i run 2 scenarios in ARUN:

Scenario 1:

Sales Orders:
2310000131
2310000133
2310000135
2310000141
2310000142
2330000061

Material: 10P3089J0645I

Allocation Result: All SKUs for Material 10P3089J0645I in Order
2310000131 gets successfully allocated/released with status "F". Total
qty allocated is 30 Pcs.

Senario 2:

Sales Orders: (Same as in Scenatio 1)
2310000131
2310000133
2310000135
2310000141
2310000142
2330000061

Material:All material in System

Allocation result: All 30 pcs of material 10P3089J0645I in SO
2310000131 get allocated but strangely only one color gets released
with status "F" and the other color gets a reserved status "R" meaning
the release rule must have failed for it.

As the number of orders are same in both scenarios, requirement should
be same and hence the relase rule should produce the same result in
both scenarios. What is more confusing is that the release rule is
working apparently for one color and not for the other.

This is interesting. I am not sure about the results about schedule line group level release.

But
“As the number of orders are same in both scenarios, requirement should
be same and hence the relase rule should produce the same result in
both scenarios.”

I differ to above comment in ARun,
Only selected part considered as open requirement and not entire order.

Example
Sales order header release 80%

Order 1
Item 1 (Mat1) Qty 10 Available in stock 10
Item 2 (Mat2) Qty 100 Available in stock 50

If we select Order 1 and Mat1 and sales order header release get satisfied (10 /10 = 100% > 80% ) and Item 1 gets released to “F”

But if Order 1 is selected for all materials.
Total Quantity /Total Availability = 110 / 60 < 80% both Item 1 and Item 2 goes to Status “R”

Thanks,
Vasant

Hello Vasant

We agree to your logic but this is true when the allocation is at material and release is at a higher level i.e. at Order Header.

In our case the release is at a level lower to material hence if the same material is participating in 2 scenarios and same number of orders, as is the case then the release should not be different.

The example is already mentioned in my previous message.

Thanks and regards
