Resources shown for Raw Materials in APO Product View

[Former Member]

Hi APO Experts,

We are experiencing a situation wherein a Raw Material which has been

included/planned in APO and have a resource reflected on its DepDmd (dependent

demand). There should be no capacity or resource assigned to this

dependent demand of the Raw material as it was externaly procured. <i>Can someone please provide information why do we have this in the product view?</i>

The scenario is we have a Finished product which have a resource and

attached to the finished product is a phantom material. This phantom

material has a different resource from the finished product. Finally,

attached to the phantom material is a Raw Material. This Raw material

also have a resource which is the same with the Phantom material but

different with its Finished product.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raymond - Check if the resource a handling resource and if there is GR/GI time associated with that product.

Hi Raymond - the handling resources are assigned in the resources tab of the location master (/sapapo/loc3). The GR/GI time is assigned in the GR/GI tab of the product master (/sapapo/mat1). Let me know if you find GR/GI and handling resources.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks!

There were no Handling resource for the location for this location.

GR Time: 9 days

GI Time: none

Please advise for the next step.

Best Regards,

Create a Handling Resource (Single-Mixed type) in APO using transaction /SAPAPO/RES01. Maintain appropriate Factory Calendar and Start / End Time (typically 24 hours).

After creation of the resource in Planning Version 000 assign it in the Location Master under Handling Resource Inbound (can put for Outbound also so that for GI scheduling it is used) under Resource tab.

Hi Somnath,

Thanks!

Will this handling resource eliminate the resource that was viewed in the product view for this RAW material?

Please send me a link about the documentation of this handling resource.

Hi Raymond - I think the GR is causing your problem but the missing handling resource is strange. Try removing the GR time from the product master and creating a new order to trigger a new demand on the raw material. Then see if the resource disappears for that demand. I believe that if the GR is required then so too will be the resource.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks!

May I know the connection between the GR time and the Resource? Can you send me a link for a documentation because I'm quite puzzled right now.

Best Regards,
