Hi P Kumar,

How do you know for sure whether it is picking a PPM

It can also be a PDS.

Why dont you check whether there is any PDS for the PRoduct Location.

That's a great analysis.

Yes, it was having a PDS which was creating the problem. I deleted the PDS and now it is picking the PPM of the material.

When I went to delete the PDS I found it was a Demand Planning PDS. In fact that material was a sub-component of another header material which had some demand.

CAN YOU PLS. REPLY ME ASAP HOW DO THIS DEMAND PLANNING PDS GOT GENERATED AND HOW I CAN PRVENT GENERATING DEMAND PLANNING PDS IN APO.

Thanks a lot.

Hi P KUMAR,

There are two methods of generating a PDS:

(1)From an iPPE

(2)From a production version or a bill of material that you created in R/3 and transferred using the CIF interface.

This means you can use bills of material from SAP R/3 in the DP-BOM function.

It is not possible to create a PDS directly.

Hope this helps.
