You can now plan the process of sourcing materials from several suppliers using the micro service Planning Optimization.
Planning Optimization facilitates sourcing split between several suppliers. E.g., users can decide that 70 % of the material should come from supplier X and the remaining 30 % should come from supplier Y.
For each planned purchase order created using Planning Optimization, the system will automatically suggest a supplier and help users observe the planned supplier split. Planned purchase orders are not split into smaller orders, but for each new planned purchase order the system will make sure the choice of supplier deviates as little as possible from the planned split.
