Hello Sudhakar,

Message no. /SAPAPO/RRP433 -External procurement in planning segment not allowed

What is planning strategy are you using?

For planning without final assembly, external procurement is not allowed.

Please refer OSS note 519070 "Planning without Final Assembly"


Have you set Individual/coll indicator value to 1?

Hello Sudhakar,

Planning without final assembly - 30, external procurement is not allowed.

Please refer OSS note 519070 "Planning without Final Assembly" it explain the same


What are the disadvantages of planning without final assembly in APO?

  • Planning without final assembly only works for an in-house production. Planning without final assembly is not possible for stock transfers. However, planning without final assembly is possible in R/3, even with stock transfers.

Hello Sudhakar,

You need to change planning/requirement  strategy. You can use strategy like 10 or 20 for this product.

i can't change manually because those should be come from ECC, correct?

What i have to change in ECC to reflect 10/20 in APO?

Hello,

Yes you are right, you have to change Strategy group to 10 or 40  Planning with final assembly in MRP 3 view of material master in ECC.

But in the same they mentioned it can be possible,

The aim of preventing make-to-stock production, as long as there are no sales orders, can also be achieved differently in APO. In APO Release 3.1, you can activate the requirements check in the Customizing of the conversion rule. The conversion rule itself is assigned a product in the product master in the PP/DS screen. If the requirements check is activated, you can only set the conversion indicator for a planned order or a purchase requisition if the planned order or purchase requisition is required for a sales order. A multi-level evaluation of the pegging lanes determines whether the planned order or the purchase requisition are required for a sales order.



What does it means ?

Hi Sudhakaran,

Is there any specific point you don't understand in above? I see it inline with what Rupesh says above... In APO planning without final assembly works only for in-house produced materials... The planning segment is used to procure components before the receipt of any sales order - but in case of externally procured materials since there are no components to be procured and hence planning segment does not make sense...

I think you need to change planning strategy to allow F-type materials being planned in APO through heuristics... It is in MRP3 tab.
