Dependent Demand Quantity is to high

[Former Member]

Hi All,

This proble is SNP PDS related.

We have an issue on a product in that we have Finished Product which has a component. The Finished product to component ratio is clearly 1:4 (one finished product requires 4 of a certain component). However when we look at the dependent demands it is calculating them way to high in fact 1:8.7. So for the dependent demand its calculating we need 8.7 components for 1 finished product.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Hi Mark,

Is the UoM same for the parent and the child product? Have you maintained any alternative UoM for the child product?

Also, check the consumption rate in the PDS.

Hi Pedley

can you try re creating your PDS using transaction CURTO_CREATE in your ECC system?

Hi Sandeep,

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this issue.

I tried this on Friday and made these steps:

1) Use Interactive Supply Network Planning to copy to an external Excel file the production plans

2) Deleted the current plans in Interactive Supply Network Planning

3) Deleted the PDS in APO

4) Used Curto_Create to resend the PDS into APO

5) Opened up the Excel file and pasted the production plans back into Interactive Supply Network Planning

6) Process complete

At the end of this process, it still had the same problem unfortunatly.

Hi Datta,

I have created a planned order on the header material for 100 units in interactive supply network planning and looked at component and the resulting Dependent Demand on the component is 870 a factor of 1:8.7 although the factory should be 1:4.

Hi Mark,

The exploded component quantity is more than double.

There are couple of OSS notes about wrong varibale bucket consumption calculations in SNP PDS.

Note 1144260 - SNP-PDS: Variable bucket consumption is calculated twice

Note 1511655 - CIF-PDS: Wrong variable bucket consumption with ECM.

However these OSS notes are NOT about component quantities.

Hi Mark,

What component quantity do you see in the requirements part of a SNP planned order manully created in interactively ?

Is the ratio correct.
