Sales BOM items ATP Check in PO

[Former Member]

Inter-company Purchase order should be able to explode the components of a sales BOM.

Main item (the product that is being exported to another country where the company has its own warehouse) is relevant for delivery

This PO is manually created (not an outcome of MRP or a sales order) with supplying plant in One country of Europe and delivery plant is another warehouse of Europe.

The expected result is components ATP check should confirm the main item that is relevant for outbound delivery.

How to make this happen ?

Let me know if the requirement needs expansion.  I did all kinds of google and oss search but can't land anything close to this.

Thanks

Hi Borat,

Please check if sales BOM items are relevant for production and sales. On APO side you need to have a PDS sales BOM!

Thanks.

ah thats all fancy sounding to me.

Is there some config doc somewhere authored by someone other than SAP ?

Hi Borat,

These threats explain in details the setup of sales BOM scenario:

Cool

Read it all but I cannot see the word Purchase Order or STO in the whole scheme of things. Perhaps I need to attend another training class.

Hi BS,

At parent level the heuristic will create pl.order (for example at demand location) and for  intercompany components the heuristic will create STO (source location).

For example in the below screenshot al SKUs are finished goods. The parent is  open in one of our location and the child's are external procurement (intercompany). So, for parent the heuristic will create a pl.order (procurement type is "In House Production") and for child's the heuristic after BOM explosion will create STO (procurement type of the components are "External Procurement").

Thanks.

Thanks Marius

So WITHOUT a PDS (for component check with MLATP), this is NOT do-able, NOT sensible, NONdescript and NON-standard ?!

What IF the proposed strategy of the product is planning with final assembly (in APO) ? Is the PDS animal still a MUST?

Can't the product (sales BOM) be simply confirmed against the planned order that can be created DURING ATP check of the components ? Does this make sense ? Is this statement technically complete ?

Thanks
