You have a new demand for 800 units of a product. SourceRule.AllotmentRule for this part is set to OnGoing.
Referring to the graphic, which planned order results will be created to satisfy this demand?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Referring to the graphic, it appears that there is a target allocation ratio between Supplier 1 and Supplier 2 (not visible in the image, but this can be inferred from the allocation quantities). When a new demand for 800 units is introduced, the SourceRule.AllotmentRule set to OnGoing will distribute the demand based on the ongoing target ratio. Since Supplier 1 has a running total that far exceeds Supplier 2, and both have a 'Multiple Qty' of 250, the next allotment will attempt to balance the ongoing total closer to the target ratio. It's likely that the new demand will be allocated by filling up to the nearest multiple of 250 that does not exceed the demand. Therefore, Supplier 1 gets 250, and the remaining 550 units would go to Supplier 2. Since Supplier 2 also must supply in multiples of 250, it rounds up to 750 units. ReferencesThis understanding is derived from the Kinaxis RapidResponse concepts for managing supply allocations and the behavior of ongoing rules as described in the Kinaxis RapidResponse documentation. References: The Kinaxis RapidResponse documentation on SourceRule.AllotmentRule indicates that ongoing allotment is based on the target ratios set for suppliers1. The Certified RapidResponse Author Level 3 materials cover the configuration and implications of SourceRule. AllotmentRule settings2.
Question 2
You need to create a new custom field to be used for record filtering that will be populated with the salesperson's name. Each order will have a single associated salesperson's name.
Following database design principles and Kinaxis best practices, which action accomplishes this task?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
If each order is associated with a single salesperson and the goal is to filter records by the salesperson's name, the most straightforward solution is to add a field directly to the Demand Order table where orders are recorded. This avoids unnecessary joins to another table and simplifies the data model. According to database normalization principles, if the field is non-repetitive and directly related to the entity (in this case, the order), it should be placed on the same table.
References The addition of a single attribute that is not multi-valued, non-repeating, and directly related to the primary key in the table aligns with the first normal form (1NF) in database normalization. This approach is also supported by Kinaxis best practices for efficient data retrieval.
