Dependent Demand Distribution

Dear PPDS experts,
I am facing problem with distribution key . I have updated the Distribution key GLEI (Equal distribution) in Production version and the same has been updated in the BOM component. When I run product Heuristics in the PPDS system is creating one planned order in APO and Respective dependent demand. When that Planned order moved to ECC system, because of the Distribution key it is splitting the order quantity in the planned order duration equally, but it is not splitting the dependent demand of the Component.
I would like to know is there any prerequisites/ settings for the component to the dependent demand split. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Prabhakar Reddy

Hi Tiago,
Thanks a lot for your reply ... I tried this but for one componet dependent requirements are not distributed , but it is working fine with the header material . I will check further and update you ..

Dependent demand requirements distributed in days

Dear experts,
Planned Orders created by the PPDS planning are usually between 2 to 4 days long, normally longer than one day. For some components we would need to see the requirements distributed proportionally in days instead of receiving the total depend demand quantity just before the beginning of the order. Reason for that is because suppliers are geographically very close so these components are ordered in daily basis and also, these components are actually being continuously issued to the mixing tank.
P.e:
Planned Order = 2000 PC --> Availab.Date = 4th July 12:00 am (starts 2nd July 12:00)
Component Requirements = 2000 PC -- total quantity required at the beginning of the order --> 2nd July 12:00
The business requirement is to have the requirements distributed proportionally by days:
2nd July --> 500 PC (Order is half of the half)
3rd July --> 1000 PC (Order runs the whole day)
4th July --> 500 PC (Order runs half a day)
I have tested with the Distribution Key assigned into the Production Version and also to the components. I have tried distribution with both distribution function: equal distribution and equal portions (alternatives dispatch at the start and end date do not work for my requirement), and then also the distribution type according to discrete points. Nevertheless I only get continual consumption which is not bad but with regard to the components dependent demand dates it is not what I need, the entire quantity is at the start of the operation to which components are assigned.
Any experience with this kind of requirement?
Thanks for your advice
Regards
Carlos

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for the answer. I have been using distribution key GLEI and as you mentioned, I got 3 lines in the Stock/Req List for the finish good (1000 PCs per day) in R/3 and therefore I got 3 dependent requirements in R/3. However, in APO I get only a planned order, 3 days lenght, so there is only one dependent demand for the component which requirement date is just before the beginning of the planned order. Then, material planners see the total demand for the order in one day even though the order takes 3 days and the total quantity is not needed at the beginning.
This is have I did:
-GLEI assigned to the component and to the Production Version
-Transfer the PDS
-I have the C for Continual Consumption assigned to the finish article and also for the components the PDS.
-I ran Planning of Standard Lots considering Continous I/O (however in R/3 I get the 3 lineas even creating the order manually or with the normal planning with standard lots.
In APO, I dont see any distribution of the quantity in the planned order,and neither in the dependent demand. I get a 3000 PC planned with availability day one day (one line) and the same for the dependent demand, one line. What I can see on the DSPB, chart product stock, is that the component is being required continuously and the planned order quantity is growing also gradually.
Am I missing something? It must be possible in APO also!
Thanks again
Carlos

Background job not automatically poopulating Dependant Demand

Hi Users,
We've recently set up a POS & PA using the DP-BOM selection and characteristics, manually created PPM's and generated CVC's using the BOMS. All of this is set up fine in our SCM 7.0.
The background job has created the forecasts for the ouptput products but NOT the input product.
Now if I call up the parent material, and then choose to show the input products the dependant demand is generated. If I now return to the material with the dependant demand, it now shows the demand from the parent.
Or, if the forecast is genereated interactively, then the dependant demand is poopulated.
Is there an automated method to populate the dependant demand when using background jobs? I would like to think that we don't have to query every sales BOM parent in DP and drill into the input products to load the dependant demand?
Please let me know if there is an easier way to do this as part of the background processing.
Thanks

Hi Andand,
Thanks for your reply and sorry if my post is confusing.
As far as the PPM with imputs A & B, output C - I have this relationship working and calcuclating demand in DP no problems.
If I now add a new PPM combination inpput X, Y and output Z. Create the BOM CVC and TSO so its all set to go. Add to selection profiles and background jobs.
Now, if I run the background job to create the forecast and this runs successfully. Now I check my products.
Z has the forecast generated, X & Z have no dependant demand showing.
The only way I've found that pushes the demand to X & Z is:
- open product Z in demand planning and then choose the option to show input products from the header
OR - from demand planning, select the univariate forecast to run interactively.
My issue:
The background job (if run alone) does not push the forecast on Z to X & Y.
And if I show the input products or create forecast (as bove) the dependat demand is shown on X & Y.
This is going to be a slow process if we have to do this everytime we run the backgound job.
What am I missing when running the background job?

BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 creating unwanted Dependent Demand

We are using the BAPI function BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3
to create Production Orders to integrate WIP from a
legacy system. The presence of PDS for the product on which the production order is created, makes the PDS assignment to the production order. But, it is also creating a depenedent demand for the component in PDS, which inturn pegs to the supply on the component. We dont want the dependent demand to be created and peg to the supply, as the supply is already reduced in the external system.
We tried using PLANNING_MODE_USAGE parameter, but was not able to stop the creation of dependent demand.
Any way around this?

Hi,
Do you need the PDS in the planning system (APO) at all in case you don't want to see the dependant demand. The BAPI
BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 documentation says:
For you to be able to create an order, a valid source of supply must exist for in-house production. This can be a production process model (PPM) of the type PP/DS or a production data structure (PDS). The source of supply is then used to generate the order. The order structure (components, operations, durations, capacity requirements, and so on) is determined based on the explosion. If a valid source of supply does not exist, a 'dummy' activity is generated and the order is created without structure and with only a main component.
We create production orders with dummy activities and only the output component using the BAPI without having the PPMs at the supply plant.
Regards
Vinod
NB: Also try 'Deactivate Dynamic Pegging' option in the product-supply location master data in the 'Demands' tab to ensure the dependant demand does not peg to available supplies of the component.

CTM and Dependent Demand purchase Requisitions

Hello Gurus,
We have a business situation where there are 2 plants which can produce a finished product from a single input product. It is much less expensive for us to transport the finished product than the input product. We want CTM to force the plant with the supply of input product to produce the product and send it if that plant has capacity - only transporting the input product to the demand plant if there is no capacity at the supply plant.
Plant A Demand 100 units of Product X
Plant B Supply of 100 units of Product Y which can be used to create Product O
PPMs for creation of Product at both plants.
Desired outcome:
If Plant B has open capacity to create Product X prior to due date, Plant B creates Supply of Product X from Product Y and transports Product X.
If Plant B does not have open capacity to create Product X prior to due date, Plant B sends Product Y to Plant A which creates Product X.
The supply may be at Plant A or Plant B so the scenario must be able to work in either direction.
Currently, when CTM runs, it see the demand at Plant B and creates a planned order there, creating a purchase Requisition for the dependent demand.
Is there a solution for this?
Many thanks in advance,
Sarah

I have done some further testing of the system and have found that I can further clarify my question.
consider 3 production plants situated roughly in a line with PLANTA located 1000 KM east of PLANTB and PLANTB located 500 KM east of PLANTC. Because PLANTC is nearer to PLANTB, the transportation lane procurement priority for PLANTC to PLANTB is lower than PLANTA to PLANTB (making PLANTC the first to be considered at a procurement source for PLANTB)
We have demand for a finished product at PLANTB. We can create the finished material at PLANTA or PLANTC. PLANTA has the input material in stock for creating the finished material.
When CTM makes its planning run, it looks at the PLANTB demand and determines that PLANTC is the correct procurement source for the finished material. It looks for the finished material at PLANTC and can't find it, so it creates a Planned Order to create the finished material. In order to do that, it pulls dependent demand from PLANTA.
The result is that we are moving input material west 1500 KM to PLANTC and then moving the finished material east 500 KM to PLANTB.
We have set our priority for moving input material very high, so it should be the last resort to move.
It appears that CTM is looking at the priority of the finished material only when determining procurement source. Is there any setting I can make to the system so that it will look at both the dependent demand priority and the finished material priority when determining procurement source?
Alternately, is there a way to mark the ATP group EB as not being available during a specific CTM run (without removing the dependent material from the TLANE)?
Ideallly, we'd like to be able to move the dependent material to another plant if the capacity at the plant it is currently in is too full.
thanks in advance for any advice,
Sarah

Dependent requirements distribution via Operations time

Good Day SAP expert!
Can we set up the system (Distribution key) so that Dependent requirements distribution will be based on Operations time instead of just Order start date and Order finish date and spread evenly?
For example, my planned order starts at 23:00 on first day and ends on 23:00 the 2nd day, the dependent requirements of the component will be 4% on 1st day and 96% on 2nd day or at least round to 10% increment. Please advise.

Reden Manguerra,
You want system to dynamicaly split the component allocation percentage depend upon the requirement dates and time remaining in shift , its not possible.
if you have fix timings or the splits with fix percentages then you can acchive it by maintaining operation same as number of time you need split and you need to maintain same compoenet on different possitions of BOM so that you can allocate it to respective operations and in item details screen you need to maintain floats between operations.
Check and revert back for further discussion.

Dependent Demand not genarated

Hi Experts,
My client product structure starts from 1*****, 2***** and so on to 7****** that is we have 6 level BOM. Final FG is 1*** and 7*** is raw material. 1 will be procured from vendor1 by providing component 2 to vendor1. 2 will be procured from vendor 2 by providing component3 to vendor2 and so on. 7*** material is a standard procurement. So we are implementing sub-con scenario in SNP using SCM 7.0. So we created work centers and PPMs at sub-con locations (location type 1011 as only one product from one plant will procure from sub-con locations).
Could any one confirm the following master data settings I made
1) Both FG and Components procurement type will be 'F' (External procurement) at plant. Where as at sub-con locations FG will be 'E' (In-house) and component will be 'F'.
2) Transportation lane with sub-contracting defined for finished good between sub-con location to plant. Transportation lane between plant to the same sub-con location defined for the component with sub-contracting (not sure whether it should sub-contracting or standard procurement in the transportation lane) as we are using PPM
With those settings I ran CTM and no PRs are generated. Where as when I ran SNP01 I got PRs only one 1 series and I didnt seen any dependent demand. I ran low-level code before running SNP01.
Could any one guide me to get the PRs through CTM.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi Experts,
For the master-data set-up in SNP, I got the following low level codes.
SNP Low Level Code     Material     Location
0          100057     Plant1
1          100057     Sub-Con1
2          201079     Sub-Con1
3          201079     Plant1
4          201079     Sub-Con2
5          306574     Sub-Con2
6          306574     Plant1
7          306574     Sub-Con3
8          506083     Sub-Con3
9          506083     Plant1
10          506083     Plant2
11          506083     Sub-Con4
12          600004     Sub-Con4
13          600004     Plant2
14          600004     Sub-Con5
15          700002     Sub-Con5
16          700002     Plant2
Still I am not able to genarate the dependent demand. My Integration models for Storage Location stock and vendor stock active and no issues with those material ids.
Could any one give some in-sight.
Thanks,
Naveen

DP BOM- How to Plan Dependent Demand with characteristic?

Hi
I am using DP BOM functionality.
I have a following issue:
Part A- 1 Lit requires -
Demand Date:2014
Part B -0.4 Lit --- Age 4 years -
Reqmt should be:2010
Part C -0.6 Lit u2013 Age 3 years -
Reqmt should be :2011
Can any one suggest me as to how will I get Dependent Demand with correct qty & correct month/year as per above example?

Hi,
I think you can maintain planned delivery time (2 years) for your dependent demand in production location master data.

Dependent demand in CTM

Hi :
I have a problem when i am creating a demand for FG , dependent demand for component is not getting generated .
I checked following :
PPM exist
Master data selection is right
Please suggest what else can be the reason .
Dependent demand is being generated for one other product using same profile

Hi,
Assuming that planned order for finished good is getting created , would liekt o suggest ...
1) Check with heuristic and also with infinite CTM if dependent demand is getting generated.If yes then no major problem with master data set up.
2) Also go for "Check CTM Master Data" in CTM profile. You may get some clue there. Its available in Edit option in CTM profile.

CTM - Forecast Consumption for Dependent Demand

Hi
We have a scenario where the Planning Strategy for a assembly part (say X) is set to a custom copy of 70 so that forecast is consumed by dependent demand. Forecasts are released from DP for such assemblies.
The Parent of this assembly (say A) is defined when sales order is taken (Engineer-To-Order scenario) and BOM defined with X under it. The Finished Good 'A' itself may have any other planning strategy (say Make-To-Stock or Make-To-Order).
The problem we are seeing is that when system plans for X during a CTM run, the system adds the the dependent demand of the parent to the forecast of X itself. There is no forecast consumption, so this leads to doubling up of demand.
I understand that forecast consumption occurs in Livecache and CTM does not store the intermediate results of planning in Livecache as orders, so there is no forecast consumption.
Any suggestions on how forecast consumption of dependent demand can be achieved during the CTM run ?
Thanks
Rishi Menon

Hi,
Request you to go thru the CTM help library under topic sub assembly planning to resolve your issue..
It says you need to carryout two CTM runs.
In the first CTM planning run, you plan the sales orders, and in the second CTM planning run that you then execute immediately afterwards, you plan the planned independent demands of the assembly.

Dependent demand flow from SCM to ECC

Hi ,
Can any one explain, how the scm dependent demand can flow form scm to ECC.
scenerio-
I have 5 level of BOM , i need to plan up to 3 level in SCM and other needs to plan MRP in ECC.
Is it possible to transfer the dependent demand of 4rth level in ECC form SCM and run the MRP?
BOM are PDS explosion not RPM matrix.
Regards
Lav Mishra

Yes it is very much possible. MRP type should be X0 for material planned in APO and PD for not planned in APO.
X0- Means without MRP with BOM explosion so if you are transfering publishing planning results of APO planned material in ECC it will explode bom to plan ECC planned product in MRP.

BAPI- To Pick DEpendent Demand in APO

Hi All,
I am working in APO-ABAP.I Am Using a Bapi to Get The Dependent demand for a Product.Bapi is BAPI_MOSRVAPS_GETLIST2.But this is not picking the same for ATPCAT-AU,AV,AX,EL,AY,AZ.Does anyone know any other BAPI to pick the same.Urgent
regards
Ahasan

Dear Ashok
Your requirement can be met using DP BOM. I am not sure about parent child CVC's , but DP - BOM should work.
You need to first create and activate PPM/ PDS for DP with usage D (BOM Demand Planning).
Assign it to model and create a planning object structure with DP BOM relevant.
Create the master and CVC based on MPOS
Create a PA with 2 different KF( one for finished product, another for dependent BOM). Initilize the PA and version.
Config the forecast settings for PA.

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

Dependent demand on non-working days

Hi Experts,
Let me explain our scenario:
1) We have a factory that is 90% closed for a period of time (i.e. August) for production (10% of the work centers are still working)
2) Same factory is 100% closed for receptions.
We have setup the system in the following calendars:
1) Z1 --> closed on august
2) Z2 --> opened on august
And assigned them in the following way:
1) Location calendar --> Z1 (we avoid purchase requisitions creation for roh's and pack's)
2) Work centers that will stop --> Z1 (we avoid planned orders creation in these way)
3) Work centers that will still work --> Z2 (as the work center calendar is more restrictive than location calendar)
With this setting behavior is nearly the one we need, but we have the following problem:
Once a planned order is created on, for example 22nd August in a working work center system is doing this:
Basic end date: 22nd August
Then, order is scheduled and system calculated production dated and basic start date in the following date:
Basic end date: 01st September (first working date in Z1, the one in the location)
Basic start date: 31st July (last working day in Z1 calendar, the one in the location)
Production start date: 22nd August
Production en date: 22nd August
So is seems that the behavior is...production dates based on work center calendar, basic dates based on location calendar.
The problem of this is that "dependent demand" for all the components of these orders are based on "basic start dates"...which is incorrect; "dependent demand" should be placed wherever the production starts...
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
Raü

Dear,
Yes you can do this with scheduling parameter go to OPU5 and OPU3 here define Adjust date= Adjust date to operation start.
One more thing I would like to tell you that you have no need to create to calendar you can do this with same factory calander.
If you don't work on that particular period define work center available capacity as zero and other day so you need to create two shift sequence in OP4A one with working Hr and another withiout working hrs.
Assign it to your work center with valid date. Meas up to 22 Aug on shift sequence and from 22 August another shift sequence.
And you knows that system do the scheduling as per available capacity.
Hope it will help you. Please try and come back.

R.Brahmankar
