Hi,
We are starting to replace ECC-MRP based planning with APO-Heuristics based planning. The master data in ECC is already setup and being used.
MRP types used are P1, P3, PD along with Planning Time fence values. I understand we need to change the MRP types to X0 before we start planning in APO. In standard the time fence from ECC gets mapped to PP-DS time fence in APO. To map the MRP types I have thought of below approach, please validate and let me know if I am missing something.
MRP Type P1 - > Change to X0 in ECC - > Via CIF Enhancement , map the Planning time fence ( from ECC) to SNP Prod Horizon/ SNP Stock transfer horizon ( depending on Proc. type) & Auto select the Indicator "Fix Production" or "Fix Stock Transfers" in APO depending on Proc. Type
MRP Type P3 -> Change to X0 in ECC -> Via CIF Enhancement , map the Planning time fence ( from ECC) to SNP Prod Horizon/ SNP Stock transfer horizon ( depending on Proc. type) & Do Not Select Indicators "Fix Production" or "Fix Stock Transfers" in APO
MRP Type PD --> Change to X0 in ECC -> Do not map Planning time fence / do not select the "Fix Production" or "Fix Stock transfers" indicators.
The determination of whether to select the fixing indicators/ or map planning time fence will be based on MRP controllers which are already set in ECC.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,
TJ
