Planned order is creating before planning bucket for a specific material.

Planned order is creating before planning bucket for a specific material.

Eg: Planning Bucket future: 12 months & Start date- 01/02/2012, but Planned order Availability/Requirement date is 12/23/2011.

What causes this, how to fix it? Please suggest u2026

Thanks

Since your planning bucket start date is in the future, so this is normal that the system is trying to satisfy the demand in jan2012 bucket by creating a receipt on Dec23, 2011.

Reasons for RECEIPT to be generated earlier is

(1) There might be a FIRM HORIZON( SNP PROD HOR)

OR

(2) There might be a GR time and the system is considering that time

In Customizing for Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Supply Chain Planning -> Supply Network Planning (SNP) -> Basic Settings -> Maintain Global SNP Settings, in the SNP:GR for Plnd Ords field, you have selected Processing Time.

Blank out these times and see if it works, else do one of the following:

(1) Set Period Factor(LOT SIZE TAB of PRODUCT MASTER) to 1, so that the receipts get created at the end of the bucket.

OR

(2) Create your demand at the end of the planning bucket period
