Make to Stock - MD01

Hi PP Gurus,
I am doing MRP run through MD01 for a plant & I have the following requirements :-
1. System should not consider any open sales orders for plan
2. System should not consider any open STO for plan
3. System should not consider any stock available for that material into plan
Presently system is minusing the stock available from plan & giving planned order for the remaining qty which I don't want.
Please guide me how this can be done.

Hi Hitesh,
During the MRP run ,in net requirment calculation , system compares all open Issues (like PIR, sales order..) and Recipts with avilable plant stock to calculate procurement proposal. This is the way system behaves, let us know why u donot want consider open issues,.
Please close your previous thread, if ur query has get answered.
regards
pradeep

Dash board report for make to stock scenario?

hi friends,
Here i am having a problem that, I need to do the dash board report to display the sales and production values (quanty s , value) with particular date comparission.
some more detailed.
my client need the report with day wise production and sales values with respective of material number. I can make the report if it is make to order situation. but , this is make to stock situation. and also mentioned that values should match the G\L Account ,ref: fs10n Transaction.
plz help out ......

The definition of Organization structure might not allow you to do so
Please go throught the following link in detail http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/f4/7d3f9344af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Summary from the above link is as mentioned below
You can plan material requirements at plant level or for different MRP areas. With MRP at plant level, the system adds together stocks from all of the individual storage locations, with the exception of individual customer stock, to determine total plant stock. The requirements are combined in the planning run and procurement elements are created for these pegged requirements with unknown sources. Individual storage locations can be planned separately or be excluded from planning.
In the case of material requirements planning on an MRP area level, only the stocks from the storage locations or subcontractor assigned to the respective MRP area are taken into account. Only the requirements in this MRP area are combined and procurement elements are created for them. This enables you to plan material requirements specifically for certain areas.

Configurable material with make to stock

Hi,
My scenario is like final products Distemper red 1kg, distemper red 5kg and 10kg like this.But Sales order will be Distemper red 1000kg.Based upon the availability of stock customer will get 5kg,10kg Depending upon the pack, price also differs depends upon the pack.
In RG1 register they are updating only Distemper red total stock.
If i go for variant configuration i should create distemper as variant and all finished material as normal and variant should be assigned(distemper red) in mrp 3 view.
Moreover planning also done for only distemper red while packing they will go for different quantity.
For Configurable material PIR can't be done.
So how to proceed further, what about RG1 resister it should not update all pack wise only distemper red total quantity.

Hi,
As BNR said you need to work with Material Variants for having Variant Configuration with Make to Stock.
Pls. find the helpful details for maintaining Material Variants :
Maintaining Material Master Records for Variants
Prerequisites
A configurable material exists, for which you create a material variant. The configurable material
has all the necessary settings in the configuration profile, class assignment, dependencies, and
so on.
Procedure
1. From the material master menu, choose Material   Create general   Immediately.
Enter a material number, an industry sector, and a material type for materials kept in
stock.
You must process the following views:
Basic Data*
Sales Data*
MRP Data*
For material variants, you maintain the usual material master data, such as
availability check, strategy groups, and so on. This documentation describes the data
that you need to maintain specifically for material variants.
2. Maintain the required basic data.
Do not select Material is configurable for a material variant.
In the basic data, you can link the material variant to a configurable material. This
configuration applies to all plants. To manufacture the material variant in-house, you
must maintain the variant at plant level, so that BOMs, routings, and so on can be
determined. Cross-plant variants can be used in Purchasing, but are not supported in
Sales.
3. Maintain the sales data.
You can only use the variant in sales orders if you maintain sales data for the variant.
4. In the MRP data, enter a configurable material for configuring the variant at plant level.
5. Choose Configure variant.
You see the value assignment screen with the characteristics of the configurable
material.
Configure the variant.
6. Once you have maintained all the data, save your material variant.
Bill of Material (BOM)
To do a requirements explosion for a configured material, you must maintain the data in the
material master record and link a BOM to the configured material.
If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link
is already there.
You can either create a BOM especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy from
function) or allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product. The second
option is the more common solution.
If you allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product, the BOM for the
configurable product is interpreted and exploded according to the characteristic values assigned.
The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions and the setting of field values in
BOM items according to the relevant actions.
Allocating a Configured Material to a BOM
To allocate the configured material to the BOM of the configurable product, proceed as follows:
1. From the bills of material menu, choose Bills of material   Material BOM   Alloc. config.
mat.   Create.
2. Enter the name of your configured material in the Material field.
You see a screen on which your configured material is shown as the first allocation.
Select the allocation and choose the All allocs for BOM function to see all the materials
allocated to this BOM.
3. Save your allocation.
Task List
To produce a configured material, you need to allocate a task list to the configurable material
once you have created the material master.
If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link
is already there.
You can either create a task list especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy
from function) or allocate the configured material to the task list for the configurable product in the
task list maintenance function. The second option is the more common solution. If you allocate
the configured material to the task list for the configurable product, the task list for the
configurable product is interpreted and exploded in the production order according to the
characteristic values assigned. The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions
in the operations or activities, sub-operations, sequences of operations, and production
resources/tools (PRTs).
Allocating a Task List to a Configured Material
To allocate the configured material to the task list of the configurable material, proceed as
follows:
1. From the routings menu, choose Routings   Routing   Change.
2. Enter the number of the configurable material.
3. Choose Goto   Overview.
4. Choose Routing   Material allocation   New entries and enter the number of the
configured material you want to allocate to the task list.
5. Save your allocation.
Creating Cross-Plant Material Variants
Use
For material variants that are procured externally, you can define the assignment to a
configurable material in the basic data of the material master, because no plant-specific data
needs to be determined for these variants.
Procedure
1. In the material master menu, choose Material   Create (General)   Immediately.
Enter a material number, an industry sector, and a material type for materials kept in
stock.
Select the views that you want to process.
2. Maintain the required basic data.
Do not select Material is configurable for a material variant.
3. Under Client-specific configuration, enter the configurable material of which you are
creating a variant.
4. Choose Configure variant.
You see the value assignment screen with the characteristics of the configurable
material.
Configure the variant.
5. Once you have maintained all the data, save your material variant.
Result
The variant can be entered in a purchase order. The configuration of the variant is copied from
the material master.
Cross-plant material variants can be used in Purchasing. However, they are not
supported in Sales.
Strategies for Variants
Definition
Low Variance
This section describes how to plan products that have a practical limited number of possible
combinations of characteristics and characteristic values. Technically speaking this section
describes the use of variants to sell configurable materials.
Variants can be used to facilitate the work with configurable materials. Variants of a configurable
material are, for example, defined to prefabricate frequently required configurations and place
them in stock, which is why variants were formerly called stockable types.
For some configurable materials, it may be difficult to determine the variants of a configurable
material. To use the strategies for variants effectively you must have an estimate of future
consumption for each variant.
If the configuration is not changed during the Sales Order stage, production can occur at the
Production Before Sales Order stage. Then the customers must purchase the variants as they
are or as they were planned. The benefit is that the products can be shipped immediately to the
customers, if they are in stock.
Make to Stock Production for Variants
Variants can be planned on the finished product level using any make-to-stock strategy, such as
Planning with Final Assembly (40) or Net Requirements Planning (10)
The planning of variants with make-to-stock strategies combines the advantages of make-tostock
production (very short delivery time) with the advantages of variant configuration (one BOM
and one routing for a whole product family).
Make to Order Production for Variants
Variants can be planned on the finished product level using any make-to-order strategy, such as
Planning w/o Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60)
The planning of variants with make-to-order strategies combines the advantages of make-toorder
production (planning without final assembly or cost tracking on the sales order level) with
the advantages of variant configuration (one BOM and one routing for a whole product family).
Integration
Hope this helps.

Availability check for Make to stock and Make to Order

Dear All,
Client is selling Make to stock and make to Order material.
How and what settings need to do for Avaialbility check.or we can use standard one.
I hope in case of Make to Order availability check may not happen.
Please correct me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shrikant

hi,
yes for make to order we dont have AvChk. for make to stock items u need to follow the
below configuration.
Availability check
1. Availability check is an integral part of the business process that determines if the required delivery quantity can be met on a required delivery date. For this purpose the system takes into account pre-delivery activities such as scheduling for picking or packing times and the time taken to produce or obtain the material. It also performs several background functions such as Backorder processing, rescheduling and ATP quantities.
2. Backorder processing: processing of a sales order that has not been fully confirmed or not confirmed at a certain delivery date.
3. Rescheduling: is a proposal of how u2013 confirmed quantities already assigned to a sales order can be reassigned to other sales orders that have a higher priority.
4. Available to promise (ATP): is a process of checking the available quantities of a material. The ATP quantity consists of warehouse stock + planned receipts (incoming stock) u2013 planned issues (outgoing stock). to examine stock on hand (CO09) proceed to logistics u2013 sales & distribution u2013 sales u2013 environment u2013 availability overview.
5. Replenishment lead time (RLT): is the time taken for the material to become available either internally (in house production) or externally (from a vendor). The most important things to consider during an external procurement are purchasing and MRP 2 (procurement) views of MMR where the processing time for purchasing, planned delivery time and goods receipt processing time are taken into account. On the other hand internal procurement is based on in house production time (MRP 2 view) goods receipt processing time or alternatively RLT time, which is found on MRP 3 view.
6. RLT (Replenishment Lead Time) is the time taken for the material to become available. RLT is only used when doing an ATP check (Available To Promise). The value of RLT for a material is specified on material master record.
7. There are three types of availability checks u2013
Check on basis of ATP quantities.
Check against product allocation.
Check against planning.
Configuring Availability check through Checking Groups u2013
1. The checking group + checking rule determine how the availability check is to be performed.
2. The checking group determines whether and how the system checks the stock availability and generates requirements for material planning. The checking group defines what type of requirements will be passed on i.e. summarized requirements (daily/weekly) or individual requirements for each sales order.
3. The checking rule applies to how the availability check is to be carried out at the transaction level. Note that you must define checking rules for each individual application such as for production orders for example. In Sales and Distribution, the checking rule is specified internally within the system and cannot be changed.
4. The checking rule, in conjunction with the checking group, determines the scope of the availability check for every business operation; that is, which stocks, receipts and issues are to be included in the availability check and whether the check is to be carried out with or without the replenishment lead time.
5. Briefly explaining the above u2013 checking group determines which type of requirement to be passed on to MRP whether it be individual or summarized and checking rule which is at the transaction level and can be configured independently for each application module, determines which stocks, receipts and issues to be taken into account. For performing an availability check checking group has to work in conjunction with checking rule.
6. Advantages of individual processing over summarized processing u2013
Backorder processing is possible.
You can access (MD04) order, line and schedule line individually which gives a greater control on available stock and requirements placed on stock.
The system automatically uses individual requirements in case of special stock items.
7. Required data for the Availability check to be carried out u2013
The Availability check must be switched on at the requirement class level.
The Availability check must be set at the schedule line level.
A requirements type must exist by which the requirements class can be found.
A plant must be defined in the sales order for each schedule line item (in other words plant must be defined for every material in MMR).
A checking group must be defined in the material master record in the MRP3 screen in the availability check field.
8. Configuring Availability check and defining Checking Groups u2013
Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
SAP standard checking groups are 01 u2013 summarized requirements and 02 u2013 individual requirements or you can create your own by copying the standard ones.
Total sales and total deliveries columns are there to configure a checking rule to sum up requirements to post to MRP either individually or by day or week.
Block quantity required can be set if you want several users to be able to process the material simultaneously in different transactions without blocking each other.
The no check indicator is CHECKED when you DO NOT want the system to carry out ATP check.
9. Defining material block for other users u2013 the block check box is an indicator that enables you to block material master records of a particular material during the availability check and restrict other users from accessing same master record and reserve the material. If the block is not set, two users can confirm the same material at the same time for two different orders, not knowing if the stock is available or not. If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot: a) Make changes in the material master record. b) Create purchase orders for the material. C) Create orders for the material.
10. Defining default values for checking groups - Checking groups are introduced into the sales order based on the setting in the material master record.
However if there is no entry present in the material master record for the checking group, a default value can be set here, depending on material type and plant.
This default value will be used by the system depending on the material type mentioned in MMR and plant in sales order.
If an entry exists, this default value is over written by MMR.
11. Controlling Availability Check u2013 in this section, you tell the system what stock on hand and what inward and outward movements of stock it must take into account when performing the availability check in addition to whether or not to consider the replenishment lead time.
12. These settings are based on the checking group that is assigned to the material master record and the checking rule that is predefined and assigned to the sales and distribution transaction.
13. These settings carry out control both for sales order and delivery as well. This is due to the fact that you may want to include specific stock or incoming stock for the sales order, yet at the time of the delivery only include physical stock on hand waiting to be shipped.
14. It is possible to indicate to the system that you would like the availability check NOT TO CHECK the stock at the storage location level. This indicator is used to set the scope of the availability check.
15. It is used to switch off the check at storage location level. You create a reservation for a particular storage location. However, the scope of the availability check is set in such a way as to exclude the storage location. In this case, the system carries out the check at plant level only and does not take the storage location into account that is specified in the reservation.
16. Should you not want the system to automatically check RLT, you may indicate so here. RLT is the time taken for a material to become available. It is only used when doing an ATP check and is taken from MMR.
17. Defining the elements in the availability check entirely depends on the business needs, but a few tips are given under u2013
When controlling the Availability check at the time of the sales order, a purchase requisition does not necessarily indicate by it is going to come into the plant.
A shipping notification on the other hand - a confirmed purchase order u2013 is a good indicator of receiving stock on a specified date.
It is always recommended not to select the shipping notifications for the delivery requirements type as you may not actually receive the stock into plant or warehouse for which you are creating a delivery.

How to reserve the material ( Make to Stock) for selective customers?

Dear Friends,
I want to reserve the material which is a Make to Stock for selective customers i.e if the customer base is 100 I want to reserve the certain quantity for 3 customers.
It is a Make to Stock.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shrikant

Dear Friend
First you have to create sales orders for these three customers
There are three ways of doing this
1. T code MB1B use movement type 412 E and input your sales order no
Stocks will be reserved for this order
Your item category should be marked E in special stock indicator
This is the perfect way of doiung it
Suppose if the order gets cancelled stocks can be moved back to unrestricted using T code MB1B use movement type 411 E
2.Create sales order and then delivery and save dont do picking and PGI
Stocks will be reserved for this delivery
3.In t code OVZ9 if you have ticked include sales requirements then for whatever sales orders created stocks will be reserved for them
But this is soft way of handling as thro backorder processing the stocks can be allocated to other orders

Make zero stock in MMBE

Hi all,,
Can some tel me how to make to stock as zero for a material in MMBE transaction.
For a material in MMBE its showing stock on hand with some quantity and stock in transit with some qty.
How to clear it and i wanted to make it zero as in all tabs like unrestricted , quality, blocked,on hand , stockt in transit..etc.
Thanks .

603 movement type is a movement which happens against a replinishment delivery. Such a delivery doesnt normally have a preceeding SO or STO.
If 603 has happened , it posts stock to "Stock in transfer (plants)" this can be knocked off only after MIGO against the delivery (delivery no. can be found from material document) , or by reversing the delivery PGI (VL09) .
Both the options will result in stock appearing in either the receiving plant(MIGO-605 movement ) or in supplying plant)VL09) .
Once this stock comes, you can scrap it, or adjust in Physical inventory.
647 is normally used in SAP IS retail, for auto GR after PGI .
For the open STO, you can close the STO by reducing the qty from 100 to 20 ,or by setting the delivery completed indicator.
also check if any other Open orders are there, set the delivery completed indicator there too.

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

Make to order /make to stock

hi
plz. tell me the detail process flow of both the scenarios i.e. make to order and make to stock with TCODES.

Hi
The difference between MTO and MTS is
MTO--> Make to Order Production is the process where the prodcution order is triggered from a Sales Order. Ex: The Prod process will start only after receiving the sales order from the customer. In this case the product could be customer specific only (Variant)
MTS--> MTS scenario can be accomplished by the following settings
Need to use strategy group 20 in material master MRP view-Stretgy group 20 is assigned to strategy 20
Strategy 20 is assigned to Requirement type KE (Individual customer requirement)
Requirement type KE is assigned to requirement class 040 (Indiv.cust.w/o cons.)
Requirement class has all the parameters where we can define Prodcution order type that will be used to create th prod order. The above link needs to be established.
Also the MTS can be achieved using Sales Order schedule line catagory which will be assigned to Requirement type/class. Item category is assigned to Reqtype/class and the Item category is maintained in the material master.
You can use any of the baove config settings.
For MTO --> you just need to have all PP cycle settings in place nothing special needed as it is a plain PP cycle.
Please let me know if you need any more specifics or have any perticular questions.
SAP online documentation has also all the details that you need
Thanks
Deepak

The reporting point backflush is not possible for make-to-stock repetitive

Hi All,
we are using the assembly backflush in the MTS REM process. we are need to do the reporting point backflush
if we tick against the RP backflush. what will be the effect in the process while confirmation.
i read the sap library . it say like
The reporting point backflush is not possible for make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
is it correct.
Thanks
VRaj

Hi mangal,
i did all the setting as you said. but when click on the reporting point.
system thru error
Error reading reporting point information
Message no. RM111
Diagnosis
The repetitive manufacturing profile is set for the reporting point procedure. However, either no reporting points exist for the material or they are incorrect. Two common reasons for this are:
The repetitive manufacturing profile has been changed in the current session.
You have not defined any milestone operations in the routing.
When creating the product cost collector, no reporting points were created.
Procedure
Two alternative solutions are possible:
Assign a repetitive manufacturing profile with no reporting point procedure to the material in the material master record.
Recreate the reporting points by recosting the product cost collector. To do this, the following prerequisites must be met:
In the material master record, in the production version, you must enter a routing under either detailed planning (first priority) or under rate-based planning (second priority).
Milestone operations must exist in this routing. The system ususally automatically creates the reporting points from these milestones when creating a product cost collector or when creating a production version.

Scheduling date Make to stock

Hello,
I have created this post because I have an issue regarding sheduling date for FG (finished good) and SFG (semi finished good) after MRP run.
We are in Make to stock scenario (plannig strategy 40)
Of couse, SFG is linked to FG in BOM.
We use lead time schedling for MRP run. So we use data from routing
After MRP run the result is as follows:
=> Date for FG (finished good) in planned order :
        Order finish date: 02.09.2014
        Order start date: 02.09.2014
        Scheduled finish date: 02.09.2014 (16:15:00)
        Scheduled start date: 02.09.2014 (14:30:56)
Scheduling operation time: 1.5 hour
For finished good no problem !
=> Date for SFG (semi finish good) in planned order
        Order finish date: 02.09.2014
        Order start date: 02.09.2014
        Scheduled finish date: 02.09.2014 (16:15:00)
        Scheduled start date: 02.09.2014 (13:56:15)
In the example above, the scheduled finished date for for SFG is the same than FG (16:15:00). The SFG is manufcture in the same time than the FG. For me, the SFG should be produce before the FG, so the Scheduled finish date should be equal to the Scheduled start date of FG.
The sheduled finished date for SFG should be 14:30:56 and the scheduled start date 2 hours before (backward ascheduling). Operation time for FSG.
Could you tell if it's a normal behabiour of system, or if a setting is missing somewhere ?
Thanks in advance for your help

I just would like you to confirme me If It is standard bevahiour in SAP.

Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion.

Hello..
Please explain Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion in details with examples.
David.

Dear David
Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
You can use make-to-order production:
For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured
When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order
Choose a make-to-stock strategy, if:
The materials are not segregated. In other words, they are not assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs need to be tracked at material level, and not at sales order level.
You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future. This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.
This does not mean that you have unreasonably high stock levels. You can avoid them by doing one of the following:
Create a production plan in advance (in Demand Management) to plan your stock.
If you make use of this option, you may also want to decide whether sales orders exceeding your plan are to affect production or not.
Receive sales orders relatively early on (using scheduling agreements, for example).
thanks

Make to order and make to stock scenarios in prodcut costing

Dear Co Experts,
I am new to product costing, in product costing there are two way to estimate the cost of the product by using make to stock and make to order.
Kindly tell me the scenario of make to order and make to stock
In make to order scenario what are the minimum configuration steps are required in controlling, PP, MM, and SD.
In make to stock scenario what are the minimum configuration steps are required in controlling, PP, MM, and SD.
How we will defend the costing variant in make to order scenario
I really appreciate for your early response
pls tell me end to end cycle for both the scenarios
Warm Regards
Venkataswamy

Hi
In Cost Planning in Product Costing,We configure Cost variant
Costing variant is a A tool that contains all control parameters for costing, including
parameters that control how cost estimates are executed and the material
prices or activity prices that are used to valuate the costing items.
In Cost Object Controlling category a)by order b)by period c) sale order
a) BY Order,We create Co Production Order which will be used in Make To Order Production.
b) By Period,We create Product Cost Collector which will be used in Make To Stock or Repetitive Manufacturing
c) By Sale Order,We create sale order with linked to Co production order,We can use Make To Order Scenario.

How to have make to stock strategy for configurable items

Dear Frndz,
My client would like to have make to stock strategy for their configurable items, pls help me out with the step by step procedure of the same.
Regards,
Srini

Hi
K-Mat Creation steps
1) Create Char in CT04 with assignment of Control indicators and Char values
2) Create Class in CL02 with type 300 and assign the Char to it
3) Assign this class to Material in Classification view in MM02
4) Create Configuration Profile in CU41 and Main Profiles for PP & SD relevancy
5) Assign Constraints and Procedures to Each Profile as per the rules required by design or Business
6) Create a Configurable Material (Mat type - KMAT) with Classification,Sales,MRP,Accounting views and Planning stg 25
7) Create A Super BOM(for K-mat) and assign all the comp with Proper Selection & Pre conditions
8)Create Super Routing(For K-mat) and Assign all operations with Proper Selection
Material Variant(MV) Creation Steps(Material variants are the stockable items in VC Scenario)
1) Create a MV with Material type FERT and Stg 10 or 40 (Classification view not essential)
2) Assign the K-mat material to this MV in Basic data - 2 view in Cross Plant CM field and click on Configure variant tab to select the fixed char value combination for this MV. Do the same steps in MRP-III view
By this way u can make the stock of configure items

Requirement Strategy: 10 Anonymous make-to stock production

Dear Guru,
I'm trying to test the requirement strategy 10 - Anonymous make-to stock production and I'd expect that the good issue should consume the forecast as explained in the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/e6/28dadc939241469dd64f0eb925f328/content.htm
"SAP APO delivers standard requirement strategies:
10 Anonymous make-to stock production
In this strategy no consumption takes place. The planned independent requirements are reduced when the goods issue is posted in SAP R/3
I have create a sales orders in R/3, I have the Integration model properly configured (sales orders and requirement reduction are flagged) but when I post good issue the forecast is not reduced.
I have changed the master data to the strategy "20 Planning with final assembly", and in that case, the forecast is reduced either by sales orders and by good issues.
In customizing I have the same category group for both the requirement strategies.
Any idea how can I consume the forecast only at good issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards
A.M.

Dear Mantione,
The allocation indicator in R/3 and assignment mode in APO should definitely be same, then only consumption will happen. Please see the check mode in APO and requirements class in R/3 also. Usually 50 will be used for requirements class, but it is a general rule that for consumption to happen requirements class and allocation indicator(in R/3) should match with check mode and assignment mode respectively(in APO) along with the consumption mode and related strategies.
You can check the consulting note 159937 for the prerequisites for consumption to take place.
So i kindly request you to maintain similar settings and re-test your issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Nithin.
