Hi Lee, Seung Won,

Strategy 11 is for "gross requirement planning" which is not integrated with APO.

There is some workarounds if you want gross planning in APO.

You need to create a specific planning book, and manipualte the data by changing the macro (e.g. exclue the initial stock from the calculation).

Then run a heuristic, and it should work.

Let me know how it goes please.

Thanks and regards

Hi Lee, Seung Won,

Sorry, my "trick" is for SNP only. Here you can write macro to "exclude the stock"; but in PPDS I can't see any way around.

I suggest yuu to either plan in R/3 or consider using SNP...

Dear Julien,

I would consider using SNP as you suggested but bacause I'm not SNP specialist,

Would you guide me for implementing your " Trick" step-by-step ?

I would be very appreciated for your help.

Hi Lee, Seung Won,

If you are not using SNP at all and do not have SNP knowledges, it might be a bit complex to explain everything. (planning area creation, administration tasks and so on)

I suggest you to have a SNP consultant coming on board, maybe for a couple of days only to help you.

Sorry but I am not willing to explain all SNP basic settings in a message.

The only thing you need to do, assuming you have a planning area and planning book ready is to modify the macro Stock balance to ignore the initial stock: /SAPAPO/ADVM.

Then, all others parts (master data, planning area administration, heuristic settings...) are standard.

Good luck

What if you want Gross Requirements Planning for PPDS? PPDS does not consider SNP Macros inside Planning Books.

Dear LI

Julien's Suggestion is anyways good you plan that way in SNP and then convert the planned orders to PPDS.

Or else if you dont wanna put effort in SNP you can deactivate the integration model of that product location combination

That way the stock info will not flow to APO after that delete the stocks in APO which will be one time thing.

But do make sure you dont require the stocks in APO for some other planning runs.
