Overview
Here you will learn how to align the purchasing capacity with the capacity requirements at the enterprise level.
Capacity requirements are calculated based on the adjusted purchase plans.
To change the supply capacity, you need to take the following organizational measures (sourcing):
- Extend current contract specifications
- Sign new contracts with approved vendors
- Find new vendors
- Open/extend production capacity for the required materials
As a result of the process, the supply capacity is aligned with the requirements.
