Demand planning with BOM

[bsplibin]

Dear All,

I have a requirement as follows: Customer create forecast for Garment on the following planning levels

Customer, Product Group, Material and Location forecast

cust01 , PG_G , Garment, DC01, 10

In DP BOM, 1 dozen of garment will use 2.4 yard fabric

In DP, are we able to achieve the following result ? Note, Garment and Fabric belong to different product group, and Garment has forecast in location DC01, dependant requirement for Fabric should be put on location PL01.

Customer, Product Group, Material and Location dependant requirement

cust01 , PG_F , Fabric, PL01, 24

Thanks,

Bin

Hi,

You can use DP BOM functionality where Garmnt will have PPM with fabric matrial with 1:2.4 ratio. PPM usag will be D.

Here dependnt demand for fabric will be forcasted but on same location. You can check IN PPM by maintaining planning location as DC and production location as Fabric location(This is production in another location) I donot think it will work.

Other Approch is maintain special procurement key for fabric material as stock transfer from plant. Transfer the product to APO it will create T-lane fro fabric material from DC to plant.

Hence dependent requirement of fabric will tranferd to other location through stock transfer request.

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for your support.

Other approach is not really an option, it will get SNP invoved, we want to realize this in DP only.

Is there any other way to generate the dependant demand in another location in DP?

Thanks,
