PP/DS Run

HI

In the PP/DS Run, we are getting Planned Orders for material with procurement type F.

The scenario is

During the heuristics process chain run, the SNP planned orders are converted to PP/DS planned orders. As per the business scenario, SNP Planned orders are sacrosanct. For this, there we run a Z program, which finishes the mismatch between SNP orders and PP/DS orders. Hence on the RRP4 we can also see firmed planed orders.

Here we see Planned orders created for a material with external procurement. Manually if the order is created, Purchase requisitions are created.

We have been using the Z program for a long time now, but for the last 2 weeks we are facing the issue.

Thanks

Hi Dilbagh,

In standard APO, system would not create planned order for a material with procurement type F.

One possibility would be to check if the material was changed recently from "in-house production" to "external procurement". Check this in R/3, as normally in APO, change management is not activated (though there is an option). This could mean that you have "old" Planned Orders from older runs.

Other thing you should check if there is a PDS or PPM maintained for the product. If you don't have "in-house production", a PDS or PPM is not needed. If you have a PDS/PPM, this would again give some more weightage to the above theory that the procurement type of the material was changed at some point of time.

Since you mentioned that you use some custom program and you are seeing the issue recently, also check if this Z program is changed recently. This may also be doing some undesirable things when it runs.

Go to SE38. Give the name of your program. Click display.

In the next screen where you must be seeing the code of your Z program, go to Utilities-> Versions-> version management.

In this path, you can find out the date when your latest code for the program became active. If this date is a recent date, talk to a ABAP developer who could help you in finding out who changed the  program and also what change he made.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks - Pawan

Hello Dilbagh,

I would advice you to check in your ECC system in MD02 if in field "Create purchase requisition" the value '3' - which means planned order - was entered. So you will get planned orders for materials with
procurement type F.

Please also check in the product master (TA /SAPAPO/MAT1) tab  Procurement the Procurement Type.  If you select an X here the system will create both Planned orders (in-house) and Purchase requisitions (External Procurement), you must prioritize the source of supply. For example in case of external procurement a supplier needs a higher priority than a PPM and vice versa.

I would recommend you further to check also the settings of the planning version.
Set the flag "No Order Without Source of Supply" to F. That is enough if you have no purchase SOS. If you have them in APO, you can filter them out in the BADI /SAPAPO/RRP_SRC_EXIT, Methode
RRP_USEX_SOURCE_FILTER."

Kind regards,

Hello Dilbagh,

For external procuremnent materials:

In external procurement, PP/DS uses the transportation lane from the SNP/CTM order.

For inhouse type the PPM/PDS defined will determine the source of dupply.

Please check your transportation lanes.
