Co-product PDS generation

[Former Member]

Dear PP/DS Experts,

When transferring PDS form ERP to APO, co-product PDSs are generated automatically in APO even though the production versions of co-product do not exist.

Is this normal case ? How can I control this, I mean I want to exclude the generation of co-product PDS.

Please enlighten me for this question.

Hi Lee,

PDS gets generated from Bom data. If there is co-product

indicator maintained in the BOM.(Select the material in the

bom and press F7 to get the coproduct indicator). The

same will also be defined in Material master of R/3 under

MRP2 view. From this, the coproduct values are

populated to APO into PDS data

It is normal to see co-products in PDS's under the following conditions:

1. Co-products are part of BOM in SAP ECC system

2. Co-products are part of active integration model.

In this case, components section of the PDS i.e. output components will have co-products listed along with finished product.
