Hi Vinoth,
What I mean is like the Planned Independent Requirements (PIR) in module SD. In which I can input quantity I plan to be sold in each month. This will act as requirement that can be calculated against during the planning run, but it is not the SO itself. When the actual SO is created then it will consumed the PIR so it will not create double requirement
Eg.
I forecast that I will sell material A, 9 pcs, 10 pcs, 15 pcs on month 01, 02, 03 respectively
Currently my stock is 0.
During planning run, i expect that a requirement is created
9 pcs for month 01
10 pcs for month 02
15 pcs for month 03
Later on I create actual SO for 3 pcs for month 01, and my stock is still zero, during planning run, the expected requirement is
9 pcs for month 01 (3 for SO, and 6 for PIR)
10 pcs for month 02
15 pcs for month 03
I hope my examples has clearly explaining the difference between PIR/Sales Order forecast and actual SO.
Best regards,
John
