Can we use consumption groups without descriptive characteristics?

[Former Member]

Hi,

"Consumption groups are used in conjunction with descriptive characteristics to enable the forecast to be consumed by sales orders and related orders, at a more detailed level than the location product". - <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/2f/fb5f3b2ee24541e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">Help.sap.com</a>

The question is: Can we use consumption groups without using descriptive characteristics?

Thanks.

the negative of the corollary of your statement is more appropriate

You cant use descriptive char in SNP (and PPDS) without creating consumption groups.

Cant think of many ways you can use it for anything else on its own! In demand prioritization in CTM maybe!
