APO Planned Orders to R/3

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

We are running MRP in our APO system. APO generates planning proposals (Eg: planned orders) for next 6 months. But R/3 team would like to receive the planned orders for only next 3 months. Is this possible to restrict only to send the next 3 months planned orders in stead of next 6 months planned orders to R/3 from APO?

Thanks

Hello Sugan

You can use enhancement APOCFPIP to influence the publication of order data from SAP APO to SAP R/3 using APO-CIF.  There are multiple exits available, please try EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLCIF_G_IP_002 till.......007. You will have create project for this enhancement and activate the project to use it.

However quicker work-around would be Running the Heuristic in 2 steps -

1. Running Heuristic for first 3 months.

2. Then Publication of Planned Orders in ECC

3. Running it again for 4 months and forward. (but do not publish the planned orders).

Another option is -

1. Running the Heuristic for entire horizon.

2. Deleting the planned orders in APO which are in future 4 month and forward.  (//RLDDEL or //DELETE_PP_ORDER program)

3. Publishing the planned orders

4. Rerunning the Heuristic for 4 months and forward. (but no publication)

Please check if something like this is feasible. I am just throwing some ideas.

Thank you
