The option to include a storage location in the request of a sales order is “old”, but there was no option to define protection also on the level of the storage location. Request with specific Storage Location (SL03) and Supply Protection with Planning Level “Storage Location” Request with specific Storage Location (SL03) and Supply Protection with Planning Level “Plant” Request without specific Storage Location and Supply Protection with Planning Level “Plant” In this case, the quantities of this storage location should be preliminarily reserved for important customers while other storage locations are unrestricted for every other demand. Customers might have a specific storage location that should be handled differently, for example, the logistical processes are faster, but the overall capacity is limited. ![]() In this case, supply protection works like a virtual restriction.Īs this logic works fine in most cases, there is also the requirement to be a bit more specific. This means that the product availability check calculates the available stock for a specific material-plant combination and reduces the available quantities dependent on the matching supply protection object. Supply protection in general is defined on the level of a material-plant combination.
