MTO FG used as a Component of another MTO FG

[m_manimaran]

Hi experts,

In our project, we are using MTO scenario. There are certain MTO finished goods (COMP MTO FG) used as components of another MTO finished good (HEADER MTO FG).

When we place sales order for the COMP MTO FG directly , we want to plan that in MTO segment. However, when the dependent demand is coming from the HEADER MTO FG, we want to plan them in MTS segment.

In ECC, there is an option in BOM - to use an explosion type to decide how the demand should be planned - individually or collectively. Basically an option to override the Material master MRP 4 'Indi/Colle. indicator setting'.

However the above explosion type cannot be transferred to APO PDS in standard. So, we could not achieve our requirement with the above option.

Could you please let us know if there are any other standard or custom options to achieve this in APO?

Please let me know if you need any more details.

Regards,

Manimaran M.

Hello Manimaram,

sorry for warming up this old topic but I have exactly the same customer requirement at the moment. Did you ever find a solution approach to override the Material master MRP 4 'Indi/Colle. indicator setting' in PP/DS?

Thanks for any hint!

Best regards,

Martin

Hello,

However, when the dependent demand is coming from the HEADER MTO FG, we want to plan them in MTS segment.

All the components inside the HEADER MTO FG BOM you should use the individual collective indicator as 2 Collective requirements in MRP4 view.

So whenever the dependent demand from the HEADER MTO FG it will be in MTS segment.

Hi Brahmankar,

Thanks for your reply.

Please note the component is also another MTO FG.

If we set the individual collective indicator as 2 Collective requirements in MRP4 view for the COMP FG, then when we get the sales order for COMP FG, we have to plan that also in MTS segment, right?

We don't want to plan the direct sales orders for COMP FG in MTS segment.

I tried also with the setting <blank> - collective and individual. That was also not helping.

Hello Manimaram,

Are you planning all the components in APO?

What is planning strategy are you using?

You can set planning segment' indicator is set in the requirements strategy

Requirements Strategy - Forecast Consumption and Requirements Strategies - SAP Library

Also you can explore  Rapid Planning Matrix (RPM)

In the product master, the 'Always collective requirements' dependent requirements indicator must therefore be set (SBDKZ = 2). Otherwise, customer single-item planning segments (make-to-order) are created for the components in APO. The dependent requirements can no longer be aggregated in this case. In addition, customer single-item planning segments have to be created, deleted and managed.
