Multilevel Heuristic on Recursive BOM?

Former Member
0 Kudos

Business is using subcontracting supply chain model. Packaging is done on subcontracting vendor with no value(cost) addition for Product X. Is it possible to use recursive BOM for SNP planning run? Location Y carries Product X and same product X is sent out to Vendor for packaging. Multilevel heuristic needs to run at Location Y. How can we run Multilevel Heuristic to create purchase requisition for product X?

Thanks,

Hi Sanju,

During the SNP low-level code calculation, a termination occurs as soon as a cycle develops.  This behavior is normal for the SAP standard system. If you want to change the behavior you may

1.  Solution A)

    Recursion-generating sources of supply for the low-level code
    calculation are eliminated with a customer-specific implementation
    of the BAdI /SAPAPO/PWB_SOS method PWB_USEX_SOS.

    Caution:
    The BAdI Method is also called by other functions.
    If the method of the low-level code calculation is called, the
    parameter 'iv_low_level_code' is = 'X'.
    (For more information, see the BAdI documentation.)

2.  Solution B)
                                                                
    The SNP low-level code calculation does not terminate if a cycle is
    recognized, but instead a corresponding message is displayed and the
    low-level codes determined until the appearance of the cycle are
    saved. For this solution, you must modify your system according to
    the following correction instructions.

    Note on the background application of the report:
    The products triggering a cycle are displayed in a spool file.

After determine the low level code, you can run multilevel heuristic.

BR/Claire,

I like the solution B. But, Solution B is not applicable for SNP right?
