Manual Maintenance of Multimodal Shipments in TP/VS (New)

Use

As of SAP APO 4.0, you can create multimodal (interlinked) shipments manually in multilevel planning. These are shipments for which one or more orders are transferred from one vehicle to another on the route from the start location to the destination location. You can take schedules into account for this. You can also use multilevel planning to process multimodal shipments that you have created using the optimizer.

The advantage of manual maintenance in multilevel planning as compared to the optimizer is that you do not have to maintain transshipment hierarchies. This enables you to avoid the restrictions of the optimizer, such as the maximum number of shipment transfers from vehicle to vehicle.

Multilevel planning contains an interface for customer-specific heuristics. Heuristics can support the planner by using algorithms to provide default values for the shipment structure (shipment stages and resource assignment) on the basis of the selected orders and resources. You can then manually process this shipment structure and use it as an initial solution for the optimizer.

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on Data Transfer

Effects on System Administration

Effects on Customizing

You have to activate the heuristic interface in Customizing to be able to choose heuristics in multilevel planning. To activate the interface, use the IMG activity Activate Heuristics Interface. To be able to maintain specific rules, you have to implement the business add-in BAdI: Heuristics Interface (/SAPAPO/VS_HEURISTIC).
