Creation of a Planning File Entry when SNP Plan Orders are converted into PP/DS Orders

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are using PP Planning Procedure 3 (Cover Dep. Reqs Immediately) for products and components. We are also using CTP. As far as I know PP Planning Procedure 3 means that the system creats a receipt element to cover any dependent requirement.

My question is:

Which action is caused by the event, when a SNP Plan Order is converted into an PP/DS Order? For example becaus the SNP Plan Order had entered the PP/DS Horizon. Does This cause the creation of an Planning File Entry?

Thank you very much and kindest regards,

Eva Mauerer

Hi Eva,

              APO uses heurisitic planning method to convert SNP planned order to PPDS orders. Planning file entry is created when converting orders from SNP to PPDS.

Hello Dev,

Now I found the heuristic which enables me to create a planning file entry when converting SNP to PPDS. It's SAP_SNP_MULT . There you can find a check box for the create planning file entry.

Thank you very much and kindest regards,

Hi Dev,

The heuristic I searched for was SAP_SNP_MULT. With this one it works very well.

Hi,

No Change to receipt/requirement scenario:

Create planned order in snp using test data

Check planning file entry /SAPAPO/RRP_NETCH

Convert snp planned order to ppds order

Check planning file entry /SAPAPO/RRP_NETCH

Repeat above steps by changing receipt/requirement scenario.

Thanks.
