Order proposal grouping in SAP F&R

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is order proposal horizon? Is it the period of which forecast will be considered to generate orders or orders will be generated for this period only?

Please help me.

Hi,

we are using order forecast horizon field. It creates only order forecast for the period maintained in field (order forecast horizon). This is only forecast (OFC time series) and not actual orders. As far as I know there is no standard functionality to create orders for the future. We have consulted with SAP and they proposed to create a Z solution to generate orders from order forecast data. We developed one, but we use it only in case of emergency, when todays orders fails for any reason.

Best regards,

Hi,

Can we restrict replenishment horizon on product location combination? E.g. for how many days orders will be generated?

Hi

Yes I think you can define the order proposal horizon in F&R product location. Field is called as

Order Forecast Horizon (In Days) .

Please do let me know if this field helps you to cater your business requirement.

Hi Amol,

Thanks for reply. I have a case: I have 1 distribution center DC, 1 Store ST and 3 Products P1, P2 & P3.

I want  "Requirement optimization"  to generate order for following no of days:

Store	Item	Order generation Horizon
ST	P1	10
ST	P2	7
ST	P3	5

Can we do it in SAP F&R as standard functionality and if yes, how to do it ?

Hi

I am sure it should be possible by using the above field.

You can maintain the respective horizon in the above give field and SAP F&R will create the plan according to it.

You can perform the mass changes of Master data in F&R using /FRE/MASS_MATLOC - Maintain Location Products .

Thanks
