Hello All,
Need help in understanding SNP heuristics planning results with respect to start date & end date.
Here is the flow of material & master data setup.
Plant >> Warehouse >> Distribution centre.
Transportation duration - Plant >> Warehouse = Zero
Transportation duration - Warehouse >> Distribution centre = 1 day
Requirement date = 04/20/2015
Following is the observation after SNP heuristics planning.
Please note: Period factor in both T lanes is maintained as 0.5

Please help me in understanding this concept of period factor with regard to above results.
I understand, with 0.5 as period factor, system always schedules the receipt on Thursday's.
And if this is the case, then row (GRPT)#11,12,13,18,19 & 20 are not on Thursday's - How to interpret this?
Also, e.g. row #11 GRPT= 11 days,
Start at W/H is 04/15/2015 & end date is 04/16/2015
Start at DC is 04/13/2015 & end date is 04/24/2015
The start date at DC is a day earlier than it receives from warehouse - How can this be possible? will system not plans in sequence?
Any suggestion/help/explanation is much appreciated.
thank you!
