Hi Michael,

This is a very wide question which could have various dimensions to consider. This means what solutions you are going to use? Are you considering GATP, CTP, MATP or not? Which kind of solution are thinking for run example CTM or PPDS run and why?

But on high level this is how it should be (considering ERP & CTM for an example without GATP etc.):

• Create master data, CIF the same through IM's.
• Maintain you CTM profile accordingly.
• MTO is triggered by sales order, so create the same. The same would be visible in APO.
• Execute your CTM, which would generate supplies for main product and components by exploding correct source of supplies.
• Same would be visible in ECC.

To achieve this all you need to do right configurations etc. For the same check below link.

Thank You so much  Rahul for your reply.

I want to carry out the MTO scenario using PPDS  in order to optimize and plan the resource schedule and the order dates/times in detail.  if you have any documentation of step by step process of these scenario or any link i would really appreciate since i have access to SAP SCM IDES AND ERP IDES which have data already created.

Hi Michael,

As already discussed by Rahul and vinodh the possible masters to be maintained .

You can also emphasize on the TOR ( Transfer of Requirement ) that is how in specific your order created in the OLTP ( Online Transactions Processing ) systems transfers the requirements  to the SCM system.

Of different ATP functionalities that are mentioned prioritize how does your business work and how should your receipt elements should be mapped .

At last when you are considering the MTO scenario the shelf life is also important and all the floats that are taking place before and after should be noted.

Hope this points will help you
.

Hi Mike,

In ECC side

1. Set the master data for your planning, ex Finished Products, Components, Plant , Work center, Customer, Dist Centre, Capacities, ATP categories, Consumption Scheduling and Planning Strategies followed by BOM, Routing, Prod Version etc.

2. Create the sales order.

Cif the Master Data first then your transactional Data viz your SO, Stock, Planned receipts etc.

Now you've your data setup ready for planning SCM.

Set the planning parameters and profiles for your SNP planning engines in APO (Heuristics, CTM, OPT)

In MTO there wont be any planning done on Future demand so your production will only start after your Order gets created (SO).

you can run SNP Heuristics (infinite planning without capacity constraints), CTM (Finite Planning without Cost Constraints ) and  , Optimizer (Finite Planning with Cost and Capacity Constraints - These planning engine serves the same as MRP + CRP in ECC,

The result would be requirement planning proposals (in house production/ext Procurement of finished / Components) based on your available stock + capacity planning proposals on your available Capacities in work centres based on your available capacities.

Proposals may be Planned order or Purchase Requisitions which tells the system what to be produced/procured from where in what qty on what date and the same will be CIFed back to ECC or sent to PPDS.

These orders can be converted into Production Orders or Purchase Orders either in ECC or in PPDS if you gonna use PPDS in APO and then the Firm orders will be sent to ECC from PPDS.

Finally Production execution will happen in ECC based on your Sales Order.

I tried to give just an overview.
