palnning file entries not creating for products

Former Member

Hi All,

We had an issue, that the planned orders are not creating after the net change heuristic run for some of the products. We are using location heuristic.

When ever change in the demand or new forecast demand are adding to the products through batch jobs and that demand is releasing from DP to SNP. There is one batch job which does the heuristic run and that creates the planned orders for the respective products in SNP. This is the daily actvity.

But planned orders for some of the products were not creating.

We analysed this issue and came to know that when ever change in demand happens to the product, planning file entry was not created. Since this is net change planning planning file entry has to be created but here its not due to that heuristic run is not considering that product and planned order were not creating.

So i want to know why planning file entry has not created even though change has taken place.

ANy prerequisites for this Please help me.

and we are using SCM 4.0 version.

Thanks

Shiva

Hi Shiva,

Each planning procedure has different functions associated

with it.

The function will be defined in customisation under the

link

spro > sap guide > apo > supply chain planning > ppds

> maintain planning procedures.

For your scenario, try changing the procedure to 4

and then check whether planning file is getting created

Hey Senthil,

Thanks for the information.

Actually we are not using PPDS in our project. Only DP and SNP and only location heuristic we are running, from past 2 years they are using the APO system but first this issue has come up randomly.

Only question is that why this planning file entry are not creating for some of the product.

What are the prerequisites..?

Thanks

Shiva

Hi Shiva,

Also check in product master (/sapapo/mat1) transaction, under

PPDS tab, in PP planning procedure whether the standard procedure

4 is selected.(since you are using net change using heuristic)

Hi senthil,

In product master PP planning procedure 2 (Manual without check) is selected for the products.

What it does?

Hi Shiva,

When you have finished product having multiple components,

you need to tell and define system that under what way

planning needs to be done for that location product and

accordingly planning file entries will be made during planning

run.

Low level code is the lowest level by which your bom is

planned.

This LLC job will plan and arrange your low level codes accordingly.

Hope it is clear now. Please confirm

Hey Senthil,

Yes absolutely, its very much clear now.

Let me check with that, but here in my case planning file entries are creating for some materials and for some materials not.

Do you think its a bug or something or some OSS note needs to be implemented since this is 4.0 version.

Hi Shiva,

Try the following ways

1) Try running low level code using transaction

/sapapo/snpllc

2) Check your planning file entries under

trnsaction /SAPAPO/RRP_NETCH

Hi Senthil,

what this LLC will does, i am unaaware of that.

Actually all my products are finished foods only.

Is this anything to do with components?
