Customer consignment orders should not be part of demand

[former_member200651]

Hello Experts,

We are using a slight variation of customer-consignment process for which new sales order types (Z*) are being used on ECC side.

We use SNP and GATP, availability check for consignment fill-up is done in APO.

The requirement is that the consignment fill-up (or any of its subsequent docs) should not be part of total demand in SNP and should not consume forecast also. Basically they are sent to APO just to handle the GATP part of availability check.

I am handling the SNP part and I am comparatively new to SNP side.

Can some one give an idea/hint on how to get this done?

Hi Sreeram,

Use macro to influence the calcul of total demand. If you don't want to consume forecast you have to modify the strategy on APO side.

Thanks,

Thanks Marius,

I have almost sorted it out already... using a custom category for sales orders (instead of BM), which is not included in any category groups that consume forecast or come as demand.

This new category is not part of demand calculation macro also.

only part which is pending is if it(changing the category from BM to Z* ) will have any impact on GATP side. I am checking that part now, otherwise it is sorted out.

Anyways, thanks for the response.

You can change the schedule line category to now transfer requirements.
