Planning Dependent Demand with Phantom Strategy (59)

[Former Member]

Hi

We would like to maintain forecasts at a Phantom material level and consume this forecast based on dependent demand (Planning Strategy 59 in ECC and an equivalent custom strategy in APO). This works in ECC MRP, but does not appear to work in APO CTM.

For example - Phantom Material P1 has a forecast. MRP and CTM behave the same, exploding this demand and planning for components. Now, a Sales Order comes in for A1 which is a parent of P1. MRP creates planned order for A1 and dependent demand for P1 which is set to consume forecast (based on the planning strategy 59). CTM also creates a planned order for A1and directly creates dependent demand for components of P1 but does not create dependent demand for P1 itself. Due to this, there is no forecast consumption of P1 leading to doubling of demand.

Any suggestions how to get Dependent Demand to be created for Phantom materials (so that CTM behaves similar to strategy 59 in ECC MRP) ?

Thanks

Hello Rishi,

Hope you are doing well.

Have you check the atp check mode. What value are you maintaining on check mode? What requirement type and requirement class are configured in ECC? There should be a class in ECC for Phentom Assembly and see if that is configured.

Hope this helps.

regards,
