Requirement Reduction integration model

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can someone explain in layman terms with an example what happens when "requirment reduction" object is CIF'd alongwith Planned independent Requirements (to APO). Why should/would someone create an integration model for requirement reduction when integration models exist for PIRs and Sales Orders consumption settings are taking care of netting (as applicable/set). we have funtionalities for consumption and reduction of sales orders from PIR's e.g in APO and ECC.

Thanks

Hello,

I would like to see a clear explanation to that as well.

From what I understand reading about this topic it is to have additional control over this by applying own logic in CIF.

Quoting the SAP documents:

<<If you set this indicator, you can create integration models specifically for
the Requirements Reduction filter object type (type T_FCC).
The filtering takes place on the basis of active integration models for
requirements reduction. In this case, you can control in greater detail for
which material-plant combinations a requirements reduction should be transferred
to SAP APO.>>

For normal cases this is not needed. Perhaps it is needed if you want certain shipments to other plants to reduce forecast. E.g. mixed MRP.

There is a text in SDN wiki on this by Nithin P.

If you have setting in tcode CFC9 set for "Filter Obj, Req. Reduc."  then you need to have IM's for the materials- plants that may be relevant.
