Demand management planning strategy

Hi there,
I am trying to set up demand management for simple make to stock. I am using standard requirements type LSF which is linked to requirements class 100.(OMP1) The requirements class has a planning indicator (PLNKZ) set to "1" (net requirements planning) in OMPO. This is what I want as we want the warehouse stock to be taken into account when procurement proposals are generated. The planning strategy assigned to the material master has the "1" setting (net requirements planning). However when I run MRP after entering planned independent requirements for LSF (MD61), the purchasing requisitions proposed are just for the independent requirements and ignore warehouse stock. There is a line in the Stock / Requirements list that says "Gross Requirements Planning" Does anyone know where it is picking up "Gross Requirements Planning" instead of Net Requirements Planning (i.e. check what is in stock before creating procurement proposals)
Any assistance is appreciated.
thanks
D

Hi Suhas,
I don't want mixed MRP as such but when I cannot get any procurement proposals (requisitions) when the setting is blank. It may be elsewhere that the procurement proposal is - I am still checking.
However, when I choose "2" for mixed MRP, it does generate requsitions (but gives me the other problem where warehouse stock is not taken into account)
The requirements class 100 has an entry "1" for planning indicator and "1" for requirements category. All other columns are blank at the moment. I am in the process of experimenting with these next.
thanks for your help so far.

Release of APO Demand Planning to R/3 Demand Management

Hi All,
Is there a way to release the forecast in Demand Planning in APO to R/3 Demand Management without passing overwriting the historical buckets in R/3. I have created a special data view that does not contain any historical weeks. However, if we are in week 2 of the month, it overwrites week one of the month in Demand Management with a 0 value when we execute the forecast pass to r/3 job. I don't want to overwrite week one and we actually want to keep the old value there, How can we prevent this from being overwritten?
I have created a data view that does not contain any historical buckets and I am using this in the

Rumi,

Hi,
For releasing from DP to ECC , you have taken care of:
○ A future planning horizon only
○ A planning buckets profile with one periodicity only.
I assume you are using "Week" bucket , please confirm.
In SAP ECC Demand Management, planned independent requirements are created in the same buckets as those of the data view on which the mass processing job is based.
With above things in mind, it not clear why APO DP release shoud overwrite historical week data, unless you are releasing in monthly buckets rather than weekly buckets.

Configuration planning Strategy task bwtn PP/SD Consultant

Hello Consultant
As we known, planning strategy is incdluing two elements( requirements type for PIR; Requirement type for customer requirement) path:SPRO>Production>Production Planning>Demand Management>Planned Independent Requirements>Planning Strategy>Define Strategy)
In you experienced project, if PP consultant was in charge of config "Reqmts type for indep.reqmts" and SD Consultant shoud be in charge of Config"Reqmt type of customer reqmt "?
or PP Consultant should be responsibled for two parts configuration? including(Reqmts type for indep.reqmts/Reqmt type of customer reqmt).
Please advice.

Dear ,
PP consultant is the in charge of Planning Strategy -Define Planning Strategy (SPRO) based on the Requirement Type(OVZH) and Requirement Class(OVZG) for for sales Item categoery under basic function of SD module .
Now , most of the parametrs which have activated or relevent from sales side (Req.Transfer ,Account Assingment Categoery , Customer requirement type , Order Type etc) are configured in OVZG by SD consutnat and same has been assinged to requirement type in ovzg .
Once you did this , PP consultant will decide on the Planning Strategy group in SPRO-MRP-PIR and check wether respective parametrs are flowed in that strategy .
So i would rather say , its a combine effort based on the clinet requirement .

Sales Planning vs Demand management

Can any body explain how to process the sales planning vs Demand management !

Hi,
Demand Management : The function of Demand Management is to determine requirement quantities and delivery dates for finished products assemblies. Customer requirements are created in sales order management. To create a demand program, Demand Management uses planned independent requirements and customer requirements.
To create the demand program, you must define the planning strategy for a product. Planning strategies represent the methods of production for planning and manufacturing or procuring a product.
Using these strategies, you can decide if production is triggered by sales orders (make-to-order production), or if it is not triggered by sales orders (make-to-stock production).You can have sales orders and stock orders in the demand program. If the production time is long in relation to the standard market delivery time, you can produce the product or certain assemblies before there are sales orders. In this case, sales quantities are planned, for example, with the aid of a sales forecast.
Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a flexible forecasting and planning tool with which sales, production, and other supply chain targets can be set on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data. Rough-cut planning can also be carried out to determine the amounts of the capacities and other resources required to meet these targets.
Use SOP to streamline and consolidate your companys sales and production operations.
SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning
SOP constitutes the planning functionality of the LIS information systems.
You pass on SOP plans to Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) in the form of independent requirements. In turn, this data is fed to Master Production Scheduling (PP-MP-MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP).
An interface with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) allows you to use CO-PA data as the basis for sales planning in SOP.
You can also pass on the results of SOP to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA), and Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-CCA).
Application Link Enabling (CA-BFA-ALE) supports the distribution of data to different operating units in your enterprise
I hope this information will help you.

Transfer plan to demand management

Dear All
i have maintained an active sales plan in mc93 for 30 materials.Now i can transfer plan of one material
to demend management by mc 90. But i want to transfer whole version to demend management i mean plan of all materials instead of one by one. so is it possible to transfer whole version in which so many materials are planned to demend management

Hi ahmad
with ref to your query i want to add few points which will clarify your issue upto certain extent
if youwant to transfer all 30 materials to demand management you may work with product group scenario instead of material(one)
you maycreate rough cut plan for product group save it against version make it active
you may trnasfer to demand management by using t code mc74 with respect ot active versionas well as defined version
which creatingrough mc35 you have to select w r to sales or production plan
once the sales plan or production plan trnasfer to demand management you can view the results in md62 for results
i hope it will clarify your issue for a certain extent
thanks

SOP - Flexible Planning u2013 Demand Management.

Hello Gurus
Can any one guide me SOP - Long term plannng / Flexible Planning - Transfer to demand managment Process
Thanks
JJ
Edited by: JJ_SAP_S on Jul 28, 2008 12:24 AM

Hi,
Transferring SOP to Demand Management :
Use:
You can pass on data planned in Flexible Planning or Standard SOP to Demand Management.
Demand Management determines the requirement dates and requirement quantities for important assemblies and specifies the strategies for planning and producing/procuring finished products. The result of Demand Management is the demand program. The demand program differentiates planned independent requirements and customer independent requirements. It gives the information needed in MPS and MRP for planning at SKU level. The placing of sales orders eventually consumes planned requirements and triggers updating to the Sales Information System. This actual data can then be used as input for future sales planning. For more information, see PP Demand Management.
Prerequisites:
The system distributes the data to the appropriate plants in Demand Management on the basis of the quotas you set in Customizing (in Define proportional distribution across plants). You can also make these settings in the Flexible Planning or Standard SOP menu by choosing Settings ® Plant distribution. Plant distribution works as follows:
If a plant or plants can be found for the material in the planning hierarchy, data is transferred to Demand Management for these plants.
If no plant can be found in the planning hierarchy, the system checks to see which plants have been maintained for the material in the material master record. It then checks to see whether distribution quotas have been maintained for the material. If quotas have been maintained, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas.
If no distribution quotas are found for the material, the system checks to see whether you have set generic distribution quotas; that is, distribution quotas that apply to all materials. If so, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas. If generic quotas exist for some but not all plants maintained in the material master record, the system assumes that the distribution quotas of plants without generic quotas are 0.
If no distribution quotas are found at allu2014neither material-specific nor generic onesu2014, the system splits the data equally among all the plants in the material master record.
See also:
Plant Distribution Quotas
Features
Independent requirements are created in Demand Management for all materials whose data has been transferred. These independent requirements are created in the base unit of measure of the material. The base unit of measure of the material is not necessarily the same as the base unit of measure of the information structure or the unit in which you planned the material. See also Switching Units in the Planning Table.
You can transfer SOP data to Demand Management in the following ways:
Transferring Online, Synchronously and Automatically:
You set the following information structure parameters in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
Field name of the key figure whose values are to be transferred
Planning version from which the data is to be transferred
Demand version to which the data is to be transferred
The system creates or overwrites independent requirements in Demand Management every time you save this planning version of the information structure in Flexible Planning.
Transferring Online, Asynchronously and Manually
You choose between the following options:
Transfer of the planning data of all members of a single-level product group from standard SOP (a single-level product group is a product group whose members are materials)
Transfer of the planning data created for one material from standard SOP
Transfer of key figure values from an information structure
You make the following general settings:
The material or product group whose data you want to be transferred
The plant of this material or product group
The planning version of the information structure in which the data is stored
The dates for which you want the data to be transferred
Whether you want to check what the data looks like as independent requirements before you transfer it
The requirements type
If you do not make an entry, the system sets the requirements type via the MRP group which is maintained in the material master record.
The version of the demand program to which you want the data to be transferred
Whether this version of the demand program is active and therefore relevant to MRP
Depending on the option you chose in step 1, you set one of the following strategies.
Transferring Planning Data from a Single-Level Product Group:
You transfer the sales plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the sales plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
You transfer the production plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the production plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
Transferring Planning Data of One Material from Standard SOP:
You transfer the sales plan of the material direct
You transfer the sales plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
You transfer the production plan of the material direct
You transfer the production plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
Transferring Key Figure Data of One Material from Flexible Planning
The information structure from which you want the key figure data to be transferred
The key figure whose values you want to be transferred
This key figure must be a quantity key figure.

Demand management- Demand Plan entry per customer

Hi all,
I have the following question:
I want to enter demand plans for each customer for an endproduct. I want also that incoming sales orders from each customer should consume the relevant quantities allocated to them.
I would appreciate if you have any idea how I could realize such a scenario.
Best regards
Cihan Polat

Hi Cihan,
Your question is not clear hence we are unable to give you exact answer.
You can enter the demand of customer in MD61 if this is forecast demand not actual. Actual demand you can create from sales order creation VA01 or VA31.
To consume the forcast demand with actual demand of a customer you ahve maintain planning strategy 40 with consumption mode in MRP3 view in material master of finsihed parts.
If question then revert us.

Planning Dependent Demand with Phantom Strategy (59)

Hi
We would like to maintain forecasts at a Phantom material level and consume this forecast based on dependent demand (Planning Strategy 59 in ECC and an equivalent custom strategy in APO). This works in ECC MRP, but does not appear to work in APO CTM.
For example - Phantom Material P1 has a forecast. MRP and CTM behave the same, exploding this demand and planning for components. Now, a Sales Order comes in for A1 which is a parent of P1. MRP creates planned order for A1 and dependent demand for P1 which is set to consume forecast (based on the planning strategy 59). CTM also creates a planned order for A1and directly creates dependent demand for components of P1 but does not create dependent demand for P1 itself. Due to this, there is no forecast consumption of P1 leading to doubling of demand.
Any suggestions how to get Dependent Demand to be created for Phantom materials (so that CTM behaves similar to strategy 59 in ECC MRP) ?
Thanks
Rishi Menon

Hello Rishi,
Hope you are doing well.
Have you check the atp check mode. What value are you maintaining on check mode? What requirement type and requirement class are configured in ECC? There should be a class in ECC for Phentom Assembly and see if that is configured.
Hope this helps.

Najam

Planning Strategy that drive demand on both PIR and Sales Order

Hi,
Do anyone know is there any planning strategy that i could use to drive demand on both PIR and SO? PS 40 won't suitable as it will compare between PIR and SO and only drive demand on which is higher in term of quantity loaded in. I am looking on a planning strategy which will sum up both PIR and SO as total demand.
Thank you.

Hi,
Try Planning Strategy Production By Lot Size (30) it will create planned order by mrp run from PIR and SO, no consumption will do for this planning strategy. This planning strategy commonly used where you want to keep existing sales order in MD04 (usually contract sales type, not a direct sales) as a requirement to generate planned order.
Here some brief explanation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/cb/7f93d943b711d189410000e829fbbd/content.htm

Transfer to demand management - Flexible Planning

Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether someone has carried out the next process in the following scenario. I am working with flexible planning in SOP (level-by-level planning and dual level planning type, since I am working with product groups).
Now I would like to transfer to demand management some data stored in a ratio associated to one field (disaggregated value) in my planning table.
I tried to do it using the online mode but I just could transfer aggregated level values. I also tried to do it with batch processing (by creating a trannfer profile, then an activity, then a job and finally scheduling and executing the job) but there was an error message that looks like "No dual planning requirements allowed".
I would be very grateful if someone could give some useful information about how to solve my problem. I guess that someone in this forum has faced this challenge formerly.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Ben.

Hi,
Yes, dual level was specified in the MC8A.
Thanks.

Use of Planning Strategy 70

While we understand how to use this strategy, we are interested to know which other SAP customers are currently using it. We have an implementation coming up and believe that this is the proper solution but would like to open a dialog with others that actually have experience in the use. Our scenario is as follows:
- Forecasting to be done in Demand Planning at a material group level. This group level has many shared components.
- Transfer of the forecast into Demand Management will be inactive at the FG level. Long term planning will be used to create simulated dependent requirements for the component materials.
- Using MS66, we will create independent requirements with strategy 70 (VSFB requirements) as active for the component materials.
- As actual sales orders are taken and MRP creates planned orders, the component level forecast will be consumed regardless of which parent the sales order is for, thereby truly enabling a forecast at the family level without having to use planning materials.
If you are currently using Strategy 70, I would greatly appreciate some corresondence regarding our proposed solution.
Thanks!

Hi,
PLanning startegy 70 is generally assigned to assemblies not finished products.It does not have any Requireement class for Cutomer requirements.So we will not have any requirement type assigned for the sales order as a component of this strategy is not supposed to be sold.
With respect to consumption.
The Production order requirements (From the finished product to Assembly I.e Dependent requirements) Consume the planned independent requirements created for the Assembly.

Planning strategy for Both scenario of Make to order and make to stock

Hi
My client having Both scenario of Make to order and make to stock ,so please explain me step by step which Planning strategy is use for following situation
1.Forecast the production quantities for the variants and create the PIRs
2.sales order is created for variants
3.Planned independent requirements should consumed by incoming sales orders
Note:If it is MTO scenario i need sales order reference number in production order
With regards
Laxmipathi

Hi,
You can Define Strategy Group under SPRO>Production>Prod.Planning>PIR>Planning strategy-->define st.Group.
In this step, you group strategies together into a strategy group. You can determine a main strategy as well as up to seven alternative strategies.
The main strategy is proposed in demand management or in sales order management and can be overwritten by another planning strategy defined in the strategy group.
You can allocate the strategy groups to the materials directly in the material master record, or you can allocate the strategy groups to an MRP group and then in a second step allocate the MRP group to the material in the material master record.
Hope it will help you.

Mukesh

SOP and transfer to Demand management for MTO material

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
I have a material, a finished goods product with planning strategy 20 Make to order defined in the material master. I enter a sales forecast for the material in SOP in SAPECC (transaction MC87), works fine.
But when I try to release the forecast to Demand Management (MC74), I get the following error message: "No requirements type exists for material 110100 1 in plant 2". I can see that planning strategy 20 MTO does not have any requirement type defined.
But what is the best practice then to forecast on MTO materials (with strategy 20 MTO)?
What I want to do is to bring down the requirements of the MTO material to Long term planning to get a BOM explosion for the components. I realize that I should not start a production plan for the MTO material, but I want to plan the requirements for components several months ahead.
What is the best practice? Should I use a different production strategy? Am I missing config or any fundamental thinking here?
I need to have the material as a MTO strategy, but I want to plan the components.
Please, give me input on this if you have any solution.
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
Here's what you need to do:
1. Instead of pure 20, customize a strategy group that has in it 20 and 10, and attach this strategy group to your material.
2. In MC74 specify requirements type LSF, demand management version, and make sure to uncheck the "active" box (otherwise you will get requirements in the operative system, and not only in LTP).
3. Do the transfer, and include the version in a LTP scenario.

Mario

Availability check of sales order in planning strategy 40

Dear friends,
Kindly help me this query:
From online SAP help in Demand Management, it said in planning strategy 40:
"An accurate availability check is performed according to ATP (available to promise) logic during sales order processing. The system checks whether sufficient planned independent requirements have been planned to cover the sales order.... If there is insufficient coverage of components (the sales order quantities exceed the planned independent requirement quantities), the sales orders cannot be confirmed"
According to above paragraph, I think that availability check of sales order is carried out against PIR, if PIR quantity cannot cover sales order quantity then order will not be confirmed, it also means stock on-hand will not be included in availability check. However, my testing reveal a different conclusion: sales order is confirmed against stock on-hand, not PIR. My questions are:
1/ in planning strategy 40, how does system carry out availability check for sales order?
2/ how to interpret above help from SAP?
I got that help from this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Many thanks for your clear answers.
Regards,
Duc.

Dear duc pb ,
In 40 its only ATP that works.
you can do another test ,
Create PIR 15 quantity.
Create a stock of 10 quantity.
and now create a sales order firszt of quantity 30, as both of the above after combining cant fullfill this demand, save order run MRP.
system will create orders against PIR (15) and remainibnbg quantity of sales order (5)
run one more test, by creating PIR 15 quantity , no stock and a sales order of with quantity 10.
share your findings.
Thanks

Demand Management Reorganization QN

Hi
When we are trying to remove the demand management for one week , the values stick on that week. We have more sales then the requirement for that week.
Parameters : We have 10 days as the key date. / Backward consumption for 999 days / Planning strategy is 40 .
QN : 1) What is the intention of 999 days ?
2) Why reorganization is not deleting for that week?
3) Suppose if one week demand is not consumed, then how it can be consumed by the adjacent week.?
Thanks for reading
Nick

Hi
Go to OMP8 t.code and Define the reorganization interval for your plant.
Define the reorganization interval
The reorganization period specifies the key date for the reorganization of the planned independent requirements. The key date is calculated by subtracting the specified time from the current date. The planned independent requirements that lie before the resulting date are reorganized.
Thanks
