APO local orders are generated for Subcon purchase requisitions

[former_member215376]

Dear Experts,

Good day.

This is to seek for your assistance regarding Subcon purchase requisitions created manually and via snp heuristics in APO.

We are using PPM to explode demand for our semi-finished goods (SFGs). We don't have a problem in exploding the demand from finished goods (FGs) to SFGs at plant. The SFGs are produced at subcontracting location. So in our setup, we have this kind of flow or master data in APO.

T-Lane Plant --> DC for FGs (created manually in APO)

SNP and PPDS PPM @ Plant to explode SFGs from FGs (PPDS PPM is created from ECC via CIF whilst SNP PPM is created in APO manually based on PPDS PPM)

T-Lane Subcon to Plant for SFGs (created thru Purchase Info record and Contracts from ECC via CIF) - note here that both pir and contracts are in valid end date i.e. 12/31/2016

Whenever we run location heuristics at SFGs-plant, we always got Subcon purchase requisitions but only as APO local orders (8*). Meaning, they didn't convert to appropriate Subcon purchase requisitions (3*) number ranges. Hence, the APO local orders are not getting CIFed to ECC when viewing Stock/Req List. Likewise, if we run reconciliation in APO and push the orders to ECC, CFG1 shows the following error messages:

"Fill in all required fields"

"Error during creation; GUID: Le5* ; Item 00*"

"Error during creation; GUID: Le5* ; Item"

These are only happening for selective SFGs and not for all. Please let me know what to further check on the master data or configurations maybe. Appreciate your soonest feedback.

All the best,

AA
