Hi Suryanarayana,

you can refer the below link:

http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/LOLISPLN/LOLISPLN.pdf

configuration steps for SOP:

1)Set parameter for Info structure and Key figure

2)Maintain Transfer Profile

3)Define Activity

4)Define Key figure assignment

5)Define copy profile.

procedure of Standard SOP:

1. Create Plan in inactive version

2. Disaggregate product group plan & Check capacity

3. Version Management

4. Transfer Product group to planning

procedure of Flexible Planning:

1.Create Plan in inactive version

2.Convert Plan in to Active Version

3.Transfer to Demand management

Master Data in SOP:

1.Information Structure

2.Planning Type

3.Planning Hierarchy

4.Product Group

5.Resource

6.Rough cut planning profile

It's very helpful link & std procedures for SOP.

SOP steps have 3 classifications

1) STD SOP for Material

2) STD SOP for Product Group

3) Flexible Planning

A) Now Let we take STD SOP for Material

This will takes place in Material and Plant level

so the charateristics will be Material and Plant

The key figures are Sales,Production Qty,Targer stock level,.......etc

Steps

1) Create Planning for material MC87

2) Copy to Active Version MC78

3) Transfer to Demand Mangement MC74

B) STD sop for Product Group

Here also the Characteristics are same material->product group

You have to maintain master data Product group

steps:

1) Create Product Group MC84

2) Create Plan for Product Group MC81

3) Disaggregate Product Group Plan MC76

4) Copy to active version MC78

5) Transfer to Demand Management mc75 for Pg or mc74 for material

C) FLEIXIBLE PLANNING

Here you can able to Define your own characteristics and Key figures

Char like Sales org,Dis chann, Div,......

Key figures like stock,invoice qty,....

steps

1) Create Info structute MC21

2) Maintain Planning Parametes MC7F

3) Create Planning Type MC8A

4) Create Flexible Planning MC93

5) Copy to active version MC8V

6) Transfer to Demand managemet

5) Create Std SOP Planning -MC

6) Transfer to DM from change mode of Flex Plann with active version MC94

if you want use the flexible planning info like SIS in std sop after the 4th step of above it will be like

5) MC87 std sop there Sales data from SIS it will ask for info str and version then you can get it automatically then the std steps like

6) Copy to Active Version MC78

7) Transfer to Demand Mangement MC74

Pls let me know any clarifications.

pls reward the points, if it's helpful.

Dear Mohan Ramlingam

Thank you for your reply it is very informative.Actually we are implementing sapAFS for a client and the SOP problem whwt I mentioned is happening for AFS materials. Other STANDARD materials are not having any problem and we are able to transfer them to the demand management. I request your suggestions in this regard.
