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.
regards,
Najam

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 Planning of commponents

Hi
Following is the BOM structure -
F (Finished Good) -
> S1 (1st Intermediate) -
> S2 (2st Intermediate) -
> R (Raw Material)
I am trying to plan the finished good (F) in an external system (like say xLPO / ECC) and transfer the dependent demand of the S1 thus created to APO and plan the balance materials S1, S2 and R in APO. Can this be done. I have tried it but it does not seem to work.
Dependent demand of S1 is net getting transferred.
Regards
Deepak Joshi

How have you tried to plan for S1 in APO? Moreover standard APO design says F to be planned in APO. If F is planned in APO then S1 / S2 and R are NOT to be planned in APO as you plan for Header product (and the important components) in APO not the other way round.
Having said that you can get demand of S1 from the external system (not ECC) to APO BW and load that data in Demand keyfigure. If you are using Planning with BOM (DP-BOM functionality) then assig this keyfigure suitably to the dependent demand keyfigure.
Otherwise this demand of S1 when released to SNP/PPDS should explode to S2 dependent requirements based on the SNP or PPDS PDS.
Hope this helps,

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.

Individual/Collective in BOM With Phantoms

Hello All
Iu2019m working with variant configuration using strategy group 65.
My BOM has several levels and the first level is always a phantom.
When exploding the BOM MRP create individual requirements for each component.
Because the components are used in other finish goods with different strategy I don´t want to set in the mater data the individual collective flag to 2. Instead I create e new explosion type in the BOM to create collective requirements.
My problem is that MRP bypasses this explosion type from the BOM when the component is phantom which forces me to enter it at the level of the no phantom component.
Is possible by any means force MRP to only create Collective Requirements for the Components of a MTO ?
Thereu2019s any chance to force SAP to Look to the explosion type in the phantoms and create only collective requirements?
Thanks for your comments
Pedro Coelho

Dear
I do not think so it is possible in Standrad MTO process .
In MTO process , you can not club all the Depedent Requirement ( Phantom BOM -componenets ) in to one PR utlising MRP4 individual and Collective Indicator .
Basically indiviaul /collective indicator MRP4 as 2 then PRs or planned orders will be generated during the MRP run for dependent requirements with account assigned to respective WBSE or Sale order
Where as at header level it will work like this : Individual and collective indicator in mrp4 view
Just check this

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?

How to generate Dependent Demand for aggregates in DP

Dear All,
I am in the midst of DP implementation at one of our client.
Business Scenario: Plant A- Car and Plan B - Engine
I would like to know :
1) How do I generate Engine Demand Plan wrto Car Demand using DP only?
2) Do I need to know 2 diffrent planning areas?
Request you to suggest on ABAP deveopment reqd or DP BOM and its functionality or If I maintain Parent Child relationship in CVCs , then is it possible to use any macro functions which will copy the Final demand of Car in Engine Planning Book against 'ENGINE' as characteristic.
Or else request you to suggest a new approach to this solution.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok

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.

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

Planning in APO with configurable products

Dear Gurus
we would like to use APO DP in order to plan the demand of configurable products managing the demand figures only for a combination of the two main products characteristics (model/version) without having in DP all the complexity of the order configuration.
Moreover we would like to allocate this forecast to the plants and make a rough capacity planning. The levelled forecast (MPS) should then be used to explode the dependent demand of the critical components at SKU level.
In order to manage this process I was thinking to introduce u201Cdummy codesu201D that represent the charatteristics combination and u201Cdummy BOMu201D for the explosionu2026. This in order to be albe to use SNP to perform the capacity planning and BOM explosion.
Other scenario could be to make the capacity planning and BOM explosion only in DP (with planning BOM) but Iu2019m not sure of the feasibilityu2026
Could you advise on which could be a possible approach and if you had such similar issue to face? Thanks in advance
Regards
Ayan Bishnu

Hi,
Here you may think of using planning product concept. Inshort you may plan on the basis of one of your critical subassembly
and this subassembly wud be consumed for most of the order demands.
Please check if it is suitable for you and revert

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.

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.

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.

Santosh
