Hi ,

Can some buddy explain the scenario u201Cconfigure-to-order with propagationu201D with some example......?

The sales orders for the finished product has usually a make-to-order

strategy, but the assembly groups and the key component are produced as

make-to-stock. To create production orders with a valuation in a make-tostock

segment, the IS Mill solution is required on R/3-side. Typically the

ATP check for the sales order uses the CTP functionality. If the production

of the basic raw material is planned as well or significant set-up is required

for the assembly group, block planning is often used. Another feature of

this scenario is that the characteristics requirements for the batch selection

are usually not discrete values but ranges of values.

thanks for inputs.

Differing from the variant configuration not only the finished product is

configurable but many assembly levels and the key component have batch

characteristics as well. For the finished product both class types for variant

configuration and for batches are required.

Hi SCM APO,

i am pasting text in 3 parts whichs from SAP help copied from one of the Book, go through it and frame you question in specific way.

Configure-to-order with propagation is a very common scenario for the

mill industries. This scenario is again a make-to-order scenario, though

sometimes without the use of a make-to-stock requirements class. The peculiarity

in this process is that assembly groups and key components (steel

coils, paper reels, ...) have batch characteristics which are important for

planning. Since the mill industries have a divergent material flow, many

different finished products will have dependent demands for the key components.

These dependent demands might have different requirements for

the characteristic values of the batches. Additionally these key components

have usually a comparatively long lead time. One main objective in this

scenario is therefore usually to check whether the right amount of the key

component with the required properties is available. These properties are

recorded as the batch valuation.

Hope it helps you.
