Hello Experts,
Need your help on MRP/Demand Management side. We release forecast from APO-DP to ECC using Transfer Profile at SKU/Delivering Plant level.
Following are my questions -
1. Details of the next process steps in R/3? What exactly happens in R/3 specifically in Demand Management and MRP?
2. How forecast at Delivering Plant gets aggregated to Production Plants? Let us say we have 10 delivering plants and material can be produced by any 3 production plants. How the demand at delivering plant gets split into Production plants? Is it based on some kind proportions? How system knows which Production plant to be used for producing the material in order to satisfy demand at delivering plant?
3. Kit SKUs - There are some Kit products. Product having group of Components. There is no DP BOM functionality configured. Now if forecast for such Kit SKUs(Header Product) is released from APO-DP to R/3 -
Whether forecast will be seen at Kit SKU/Delivering Plant level in R/3 and Dependent Demand at Component SKUs/Delivering Plant level in R/3?
or Is it only after the BOM explosion which happens during MRP we can see Dependent Demand for components in R/3?
Is this dependent demand is at Component SKU/Delivering Plant or Component SKU/Production Plant?
4. How these fields influences the overall process - Strategy Group, MRP Controller, MRP Type or Special Procurement Key fields in SAP R/3?
5. Is VSF(Validated Sales Forecast in R/3) and PIR(Planned Independent Requirements in R/3) and Forecast(in APO) is all same?
Appreciate any information/help.
Thank you
