Dear Experts,
Here is my question hope some one already came across this ..
There is a DC - A and Plant - B
sales forecast happen 3 months in advance which mean customer give forecast for future 3 months in this 3 months forecast 1st month is firmed sales order
so to summarize one month sales order -dependent requirement and rest of 2 months is forecast Qty which mean rest of two months is independent requirement
so this cycle keeps goes on with time period
Now the requirement is
When sales order is created in DC-A STR should be created and look for stock in Plant-A and definitely the production should start after receive demand from DC-A which is firmed sales order
Solution ??
1)when sales order created in DC-A snp heuristics run and create a STR in DC-A and STO in Plant - correct me if i am wrong
2) Now PP-DS run in Plant-A and system create a planned order for finished good for the sales order and it looks for PDS and dependent requirement happen and planned order created for semi finished-1 and semi finished-2 - correct me if i am wrong
3) if i have two sales order can PPDS heuristics combine two finished good planned order for finished good and make it one in a particular horizon like say a month
Now there is another requirement for purchasing raw material
IT is decided for raw material APO planning is not used instead ECC is used which mean mrp type XO
but they dont want to use re-order point or safety stock instead based on the three months forecast from customer they have to procure or raise a PR before even firmed sales order comes how to handle it
Is this requirement is make to order or make to stock in SAP point of view because i see its kind of both ...
if any one came across this kind of business requirement please advise
if you need more information please try to ask me i explain in detail
Regards
Raj
