Collective production order in APO

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

In R3, we setting up the Collective Production order, which doing the following function.

When the requirement is let say 2 production batches, MRP will create the Production Header order,

Production (Header) order Qunatity 4000 Kgs (2 Batches Quantity)

Production order 1 Quantity 2000 Kgs (1 Batch Quantity)

Production order 2 Quantity 2000 Kgs (1 Batch Quantity)

My problem is How to set the similar thing up in APO? which when SNP run, the results CIF down to R3 will get the same structure as the setting in R3

Thanks in advance for any hints, guidelines.

Cheers,

Kittichai

Hi Kittichai,

How have u mapped collective order scenario in PP?

Actually collective order or order network is not supoorted in APO. So if have correctly mapped collective order in PP then APO will not be in a position to support it.

Kindly revert back.

Hi Kittichai,

In general, when we convert planned order from APO, it

generates a production order in R/3 which will be used for

execution purposes.

The production order will be batch specific depending on

the R/3 settings (master data) which will be ciffed to APO

initially.

But what is your exact requirement? ie Do you like 3

production orders to get generated for one with 4000 Kg

and another 2 with 2000 Kg? If it is the case, what will be

the number range of production orders u have defined?

If you want all 3 orders to display, then during planning

run, it will duplicate the results.

Please confirm
