ASCP constrained plan – sourcing rule allocation logic to more than one supplier
Hi all,
I would like to understand the sourcing rule allocation logic in Oracle ASCP for a constrained, optimized plan with "Enforce Sourcing Constraints" enabled, and whether what I'm seeing is expected behavior or a setup/logic issue.
Scenario:
- Item: A (new item with no historical data or open supplies before the planning horizon)
- Two suppliers: X and Y
- Sourcing rule (external suppliers):
- Supplier X: 70% allocation
- Supplier Y: 30% allocation
- Item order modifier: Fixed lot multiple = 8,800
- Plan options:
- Constrained plan
- Optimization checked (using optimizer)
- "Enforce Sourcing Constraints" checked so that sourcing splits should be respected over the plan horizon
