Guidelines for Setting Up Rules That Create Supply

Create a rule that determines the type of supply to transfer between inventory organizations. Specify the business process and document type to use between organizations.

• Supply Chain Orchestration uses a transfer order between inventory organizations to create supply, by default. Your legal or business requirements might need a buy transaction. Set up a rule that creates a purchase order instead of a transfer order.

• Set up the rule at design time. Supply Chain Orchestration applies the rule at run time when it creates supply.

• Supply Chain Orchestration will automatically run your rules. Improve accuracy and timeliness, and reduce cost because you don't need to do it manually.

• Reduce the cost of transferring material between departments in your company.

• Extend your set up to accommodate change in your business environment, such as business growth, reorganization, merge, or acquisition.

Note.

• Supply Chain Orchestration doesn't come predefined with rules that create supply. If you must create supply that doesn't use a transfer order, then you must set up your own rule.

• Use your rule only to create purchase orders for transactions between one source inventory and one destination inventory, or between one source warehouse and one destination warehouse.

Update Party Data

You must update party data.

1. Go to the Scheduled Processes work area, then set up the Maintain Party and Location Current Record Information scheduled process to keep your party data up to date. Use this value when you set it up:

   Parameter	Value
   Synchronization Type	Party and Location

   Leave all other parameters empty.

   Click Advanced > Schedule, then set it up to run at least one time each day.

If you don't run this scheduled process, then you might encounter an error that's similar to:

A party could not be found for the requester provided on the line
