Create Forecast from one location porduct to other location product

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a business scenario trying to design process in APO -DP.Two Plants in R/3 (1001 and 1002).

Plant-1001, produce material A using raw material B.

Plant -1002, Produce C and sale to plant 1001. Physically material B and C are same but in R/3 material B and C are different numbers.

I am trying to design this scenario in APO- DP like whenever Plant 1001 run forecast for material A, it should generate forecast for material B(raw mat in 1001) and material C (finish product in 1002).

I tired to understand if APO-DP BOM functionality can be used but in this case system asked me maintain material C in plant 1001, which i am trying to avoid.

This seems to be common business scenarion. I'll appreciate any quick advice or help to understand how to map it in APO-DP.

OR

Is there anyway to transfer forecast from one location product to another different loaction product.

Thanks

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

1) Your scenario seems like realignment of location products.

2) You can achieve this using realignment planning in APO DP

3) The transaction to do this is /SAPAPO/RLGCOPY

4) Here, the history of one location product will get copied or maintained to transfer

to another location product

5) You can select one or more key figure data to get copied to your new

location products from the existing history.
