SNP: CTIM planning

Hello:

I have this issue, the client has 2 different Production version(MRP4) in R/3 (4.7) for single material, which have validity date forever and they are enforcing there use based on dates given in Quota arrangements (MEQ1).

I was wondering when I CIF these kind of asseblies to APO how does it effect the produciton and how can I enforce the usage of 2 different PDS, is there anything which is equivalent to Quota arrangement of R/ 3 in APO. As Quota arrangement is totally a different term in APO which is between 2 different location and here its 2 different PDS's generated by 2 different production versions of a single location product.

A quick help is requested. Thank you

The quota arrangement can be between locations or PPM's.

You just have to choose In House production or external procurement as the selection type.

Thank you for the reply, I am able to have it In-house production define, but still one thing remains I am unable to change dates as both of my PDS are valid for same time, Is there any way I could have different dates for there usage.

Thanks again.

He already replied... You can set up quota arrangements in APO just like in R/3.

Hi:

Thank you for your updates, the Quota arrangements (/SAPAPO/SCC_TQ1) which Saroj asked to use is about procurement/Transportation lanes which is between 2 different locations, here I am talking is about In house production. Trying to use 2 different PDS which are valid all time but want to use them one after the other, moreover this is at one location only.

Thanks again.

Hi,

are you asking about having two different PDSs in APO? You could transfer the PDSs in versions/ I mean one in 000 other in other version.

Hi Visu,

i understand having them send to 2 different versions, but what about when it comes to execution. Let me give some more detail here:

For 1 material in R/3 i have 2 production version 040 and 060, PV 040 is used for the 1st 6 months of 2007 and 060 for next 6 months but the time validity is for both is upto 9999 i,e forever. In R/3 the time usage is defined again using Quota arrangements thats where the dates for the first and last 6 months usage is defined, this is how they are enforcing 2 differnt PV for 1 single material. Now How do I do this in APO?

with 2 PV's I am gonna generate 2 PDS's the question arises how do I enforce there use for the first and last 6months of the year in APO.

thank you for your time.

Hi Mono,

In SCM, you do have a way of defining quota arrangement for PDSs. You may like to try this transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TQ1. See if it helps.

Thanks and Rgds
