APO SNP Planned Orders

[Former Member]

Hello all:

I've set up all CIFs from ECC to send Routings/Boms/Work Centers/Production Versions. I have multiple production versions on materials because there can be one standard routing and also multiple alternate routings.  When the heuristic runs in SNP, it knows to use the standard routing when it generates the planned orders.  We then analyze our capacity requirement vs capacity availability.  All works fine.  The issue I'm having is when planners know more than the system and want to manually update the Planned Orders and see this impact on capacity.  While this does work, it first prompts them on each and every order bucket to pick the production version they want to use.  I would like it to default to the standard production version/routing, like it does when the Heuristic runs, and not prompt them to pick one.  Is there a config setting to make this happen when manually typing in the planned order?  I could not find it in SPRO.

We are not using PP/DS yet.

Thanks in advance.

This is the standard SAP behavior to choose the PDS while creating the planned order manually.

Hi Andrea,
You can try BADI /sapapo/pwb_sos. If there's only one SOS is selected, there won't be a popup.

Hello Andrea,

In planning book when you display the order details for the planned production key figure. You could use the possible entries help (F4) to change the source of supply in the detail view, and switch to another resource.

Hello Andrea,

I agreed with you that it's a lot of work to go through each order and change the production version to evaluate the capacity!

From your explanation I understood that the SNP heuristic will use a prefered production version (standard) and you try to find a solution when the prefered version have to be changed.

In this case you have to maintain temporary priorities or quotas directly on APO side. The highest priority is "0". So, for the prefered version you have to maintain the priority "0" and for the others versions the priorities have to be different from "0" (e.g. 1,2,3 etc.).

Then you run SNP heuristic with the new setup (prior to this, to take in consideration the new setup you have to exit from SNP planning book and re-enter again).

The heuristic will create new orders with the new prefered prod.version. If the planner want's to keep them, the orders must be firmed because when you return to initial prod.version setup the heuristic will change them with your standard as prod.version. The heuristic will respect the firmed orders!   

To maintain the priority use t.code /SAPAPO/CURTO_EDIT.

To firm the orders - in the planning book right click on material number and choose Show Product View. Select the order's line and press symbol Lock Order & Save

To mass firme use t.code /SAPAPO/RRP4.

Thanks,

Hi Andrea

Not sure you are using PPMs or PDS in APO.

You can achieve this by either setting procurement priority in PPMs or the priority in PDS as Rajes explained

or

You can setup quota arrangements where you can say for the given plant, all 100% quota has to be allocated to the SNP PPM.

Hi Andrea,

you can achieve this through standard functionality. You should use PDS priority option. In ECC through T-code PDS_MAINT you can define highest priority toPDS which you want to consider into SNP planning as default.

Steps:

1. Create multiple production version

2. Set PDS priority thru PDS_MAINT into ECC to PDS. Highet priority is "0".

3. Run Curto_Create transaction to send priority to APO for the PDS.

4. Run SNP planning and varify SNP planned order, it should have highest priority PDS associated.

Hope this should be helpful for you.

Rajesh:

We are using PDS.  However, when I go in PDS_MAINT in ECC, I do not see a choice for setting the priority.  There is a General Data area, then a Data Restriction area and then Production Version Mgmt area.  But I do not see a field for "priority" on any of those.  Am I missing something?

Best Regards,

Andrea
