APS and OPM Plant
Warehouse Considerations
January 2001
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to identify how OPMshould be set
up with regard to the Plant-WarehouseEffectiv ities when using APS
for planning. OPM hasthe ability to use multiple consumption
andreplenishment warehouses in production for a givenmanufacturing
plant or across multiple plants. This
means that when Production Batches are created orwhen OPM MRP is
run, OPM can source an itemfrom one warehouse and a second item
from adifferent warehouse. This functionality is alsoallowed in
producing product, where one product canbe directly made into one
warehouse and anotherproduct can go into a second warehouse. APS
islimited to one consumption and replenishmentwarehouse per plant
for it s manufacturing and itmust be the same warehouse
(ResourceWarehouse).
Exist ing OPM u ser adding APS
OPM supports the consumption of ingredients usedin production
from multiple warehouses. When abatch is created one ingredient can
be sourced fromone warehouse and a second ingredient from
adifferent warehouse. The relationship forconsumption of the
ingredients is defined in thePlant-Warehouse effectiv ity form. The
diagrambelow represents an existing OPM plant being fedraw
materials by multiple warehouses.

The Plant-Warehouse Effectivities for a plant fedby multiple
warehouses is:
Table1
PLANT C R ITEM
W1 0 1 FG
W2 1 0 RM1
W3 1 0 RM2
In this example ( Table 1) the OPM plant wouldsource RM1from
warehouse W2 and RM2 fromwarehouse W3, and replenish FG to
warehouse W1.Production and MRP recognize these
relationshipswithout the need for transfer rules.
Implementing APS in this scenario requires a changeto this
model. APS only recognizes one plantwarehouse (Resource warehouse)
for manufacturingand all materials used in production by the
APSengine must reside and be replenished to this plantwarehouse. If
materials are to be consumed inproduction and are not located in
this warehousethen a transfer rule must be in place to source
thematerial from its residing warehouse to the plantwarehouse. The
following diagram shows this newrelationship:

The Plant-Warehouse Effectivities to support thisconfiguration
would be:
Table 2
PLANT C R ITEM
W1 0 0 FG
W3 0 1 FG
W4 0 0W2 0 0
W3 1 0 RM1
W3 1 0 RM2
In the above scenario, Sourcing rules are nowrequired for
transferring materials to and from theplant warehouse (W3). Your
raw materials can stillbe stored in multiple warehouses, however
with theintegration to APS, transfer rules must be created sowhen
APS is looking for materials in the resourcewarehouse to be
consumed in production, it knowshow and where to source them.
NOTE: A workaround for current OPM customersupgrading to APS,
that do not want to change theirPlant-Warehouse Effectivities, is
to ignore thetransfer recommendations generated by APS for
rawmaterials. Production will still consume the materialsfrom the
warehouse based on the Plant-WarehouseEffectivity table.
New OPM with APS customers
New OPM customers installing OPM and APS shoulduse a similar
warehouse structure shown in Figure 2along with the Plant-Warehouse
Effectivity in Table
2. This defines a plant warehouse (Resourcewarehouse) which is
where manufacturing is done.Supplying and distributing warehouses
will havetransfer rules which enables materials to be sent tothe
Resource Warehouse for consumption intoproduction and shipping
product from the ResourceWarehouse to distribution centers or
otherwarehouses. The concept is, manufacturing occursat the
Resource Warehouse where consumption andreplenishment take place,
and any material comingfrom or going to another warehouse must have
atransfer rule in place to facilitate this movement.
