Aggregated Planning and Deployment

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Is it possible to make aggregated deployment optimization in APO 4.1?

For example:

I have a customer and 2 products (A and B). I create an aggregate level product C using hierarchy master data. And I run planning at aggregated level (for material C). If customer wants product A and I have product B in the stock, I want deployment to create deployment stock transfer for material B although customer wants A. Is this possible? As far as I know, interchangeability is not possible in deployment in 4.1, can you please confirm if I am right?

How can we define the quota arrangement as you suggested? And how we define this setting while disaggregating the plan?

Any comments?

Thanks,

Hi E,

You should be able to do that using the Quota arrangements. Disaggregation based on quota arrrangements should enable you to prioritize product B over product A and product substitution should address requirements.
