SCN: Message List - SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO)

Hi,

Please check your lot size strategy (in the material master, tab lot size). Try with lot for lot option!

Thanks,

Hello, Rorie.

I have the same problem, how did you solve it? Please help

Best regards, Dmitry

Hi All,

We have a product with strategy 20 : Planning with final assembly in APO. I have a forecast for a future date for 10 units. Now I have created a sales order in ECC for 5 units and this is visible in rrp3 along with the above forecast. However the forecast quantity is not reduced as per the sales order quantity. My expectation is once the sales order for 5 units comes into rrp3 then the forecast should get reduced corresponding and should be changed to 5 units from 10 units.

I have checked the consumption mode which is backward-forward and both the forecast and the sales order fall exactly on the same date in future.

Can you please let me know what could be the issue.

Best Regards

Hello,

In the material master Always collective requirements have to be choose. The horizon forward/backward of the consumption mode 2 have to cover the desired horizon (Forecast/SO)

Also check the category of the SO and then check the strategy 20 to see if the SO order category is take in consideration.

Thanks,

Regards, Marius

Hi Marius,

Thank you for the reply. Can you please let me know where I can check whether the particular sales order category falls within relevant category of strategy 20 consideration.

Thanks

Hello,

The strategy: SPRO - APO - DP - Basic Settings - Consumption - Spec.Req.Strategy

The FA category must be in the Net Segment. Scroll on the right side to find the category group. In the category group you define the category of the SO.

For category group follow the path: SPRO - APO -PPDS - Maintain Categ.Group

The standard is K01 with Consumption Sales Orders category BM.

Thanks,

Regards Marius

Hi Marius

Thank you. I have checked in here and as you mentioned the entries are correct. Not sure why still the Sales order is not consuming the forecast.

please advice if there are any other parameter that restrict this.

thank you

Hi,

Can you try running the report "/SAPAPO/CSP_CORRECT_FCST" for your specific location product with update and create list checked.

Hello Guys,

I have a general question.

How can I merge two SCN accounts into one single account?

Thanks, Marius

Hi Ada,

Thankyou for sharing the complete KBA document. Unfortunately I have checked every point that you have mentioned and could see they coincide what it should be.

Not sure what else it would be.....

Thanks

Hi Marius,

Could you be more specific i.e. which account you are referring too? Is it user a/c, vendor a/c, customer a/c etc. as BP?

Hello Rahul,

No, It's about SCN accounts. I changed the company and my old SCN account is obsolete. I created a new SCN account with the same user name but I can't merge it with the old one.

Apparently is not possible to merge them! So, I lost more than 1500 points!

Regards, Marius

Marius,

My bad, for some reason I took this as SNC instead of SCN !

You can ask moderator if they can assist you in this case.

Rahul

Dear Ada and all,

I have tested this in another client i.e testing client instead of development and could confirm that sales order is consuming the forecast. But here the issue I have is I have forecast for 10 units and when creating sales order for 5 units, system actually consumes only 1 unit from the forecast and shows forecast for 9 units and salesd order for 5 units.

To test further I have created another sales order for 4 units and now the situation in rrp3 is forecast for 8 units and two sales orders one for 5 and another for 4.

In conclusion, for each sales order only one unit of forecast is consumed irrespective of the sales order quantity. I do not know what is causing this issue. can you help if you get any clue.

thanks.

Nice! Very nice!

Can you post some screenshots to admire this system behavior? BTW maybe it's a good idea to contact SAP support!

Thanks, Marius

Hi Nikhil.

This is the first note I came across, my guess is that it's applicable for iPPE master data but i anyways i gave it a shot by using the planning parameter but it did nothing different.

Hi Vikas,

The scenario that I have does not use repeat components in the PDS.

Finished Product at header is A which has components C1, C2, C3 and Phantom Assembly PA1.

Phantom Assembly PA1 has components PAC1, PAC2, PAC3.

FG	A
Component 1	C1
Component 2	C2
Component 3	C3
Phantom Assembly	PA1
Phantom Component 1	PAC1
Phantom Component 2	PAC2
Phantom Component 3	PAC3

Regards

Abhishek,

See if note 1864170 helps.

Thanks, Nikhil

In the wiki page I have put some information about how to debugging the consumption coding.
If you have difficulty with it, maybe contacting SAP support would be a good idea
You can tell me the incident number and I'll check it for you

BR, Ada
