		<ProcedureList><ListIntro>DMS planning comprises the following steps:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Receive items using the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3512m000" role="session">Warehouse Receipts (whinh3512m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6130m000" role="session">Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000)</GUIRef> session. You can do this at various moments and in several ways after you confirm receipt.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><List><ListIntro>DMS does the following:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>Determines demand from each warehouse within the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000459" role="glossary">warehouse supply structure</Link>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Nets demand against on hand stock and open (cross-dock) orders.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Prioritizes demand based on <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000457" role="glossary">planning priority rules</Link>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Assigns received goods to demand, according to priority.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Assigns any on hand inventory to demand, according to priority.</ListItem>
				</List>
			</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Users can change priorities and reassign quantities.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Users must approve the assigned quantities.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Users can process assigned quantities according to the priorities. <List><ListIntro>As a result, SSA ERP will generate:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000441" role="glossary" Update="No">Cross-dock orders</Link> to cross-dock goods within the supply warehouse and destination warehouses.</ListItem>
					<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000304" role="glossary" Update="No">Transfer orders</Link> to transfer the assigned quantities to the other warehouses.</ListItem>

		<List><ListIntro>For SFC production orders, DMS planning can be run:</ListIntro>
			<ListItemHead>After reporting an operation complete</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>If DMS is a step in the routing and if an operation has the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0110m000#tisfc010.dmso" role="formfield">DMS on Completion</GUIRef> check box selected, DMS runs automatically after reporting the operation complete. In this case, however, no cross-dock orders and/or transfer orders will be generated. Instead, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh6130m000" role="session">Direct Material Supply Distribution (whinh6130m000)</GUIRef> session will only show current demand and the distribution of supply, thus offering a preview of the DMS run during or after receipt.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>During or after confirm receipt</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmss" role="formfield">DMS upon SFC Receipt</GUIRef> setting indicates whether and, if so, in what way, DMS will be run when receiving an SFC production order. Otherwise, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmss" role="formfield">DMS upon SFC Receipt</GUIRef> comprises the same steps as <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmsr" role="formfield">DMS upon Receipt</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

		<List><ListIntro>You can run DMS planning in various situations:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>To apply DMS planning to the inventory of the supply warehouse only, users can select one or more inventory lines in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2515m000" role="session">Warehouse - Item Inventory (whwmd2515m000)</GUIRef> session, and then click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2515m000#whinh6130m000" role="formcommand">Direct Material Supply Distribution</GUIRef> on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh4201m000" role="session">Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000)</GUIRef> session, users can generate outbound advice for DMS items according to DMS planning rules.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Upon receipt of items, depending on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmsr" role="formfield">DMS upon Receipt</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmss" role="formfield">DMS upon SFC Receipt</GUIRef> settings.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>In any situation, transfer orders can be generated to transfer the inventory to warehouses with the highest-priority demand.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>DMS processing</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>Regardless of the way in which DMS planning is carried out but depending on the situation, cross-dock orders, transfer orders, and outbound advice can be generated.</Paragraph>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle><GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmsr" role="formfield">DMS upon Receipt</GUIRef></SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If received goods are required in other warehouses than the supply warehouse, cross-dock orders are generated to cross-dock the goods in the supply warehouse, and transfer orders are generated to transfer the goods to the other warehouses.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle><GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2100s000#whwmd200.dmsi" role="formfield">DMS on Inventory</GUIRef> and outbound advice according to DMS</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If you run DMS on inventory or through generate outbound advice, no cross-dock orders are generated. Instead, outbound advice are generated to get the goods out of the warehouse, and transfer orders will be generated to transfer the goods to other warehouses.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Inbounding goods</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If demand with the highest priority is in the supply warehouse itself, the goods will be inbounded instead of transferred to other warehouses. The goods can also be cross-docked in the warehouse for actual demand orders on the warehouse.</Paragraph>
