Question on Including specific category on forecast consumption

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

We are using Planning Strategy 20 - Planning with final assembly in SNP-CTM. Currently sales orders consume the forecast as and when created. We have introduced a new sales order category  ZFT item category = ZPR. We want these sales order also to consume the forecast.

What setting changes are to be done to enable this.

Thanks

kamal.

Hello,

If the sales order with the customizing item category does not consume forecast in APO, you'll first need to check whether requirement is generated for it in VBBE, and whether the SO is in APO. If SO is in APO, please check note 2147386 - General reasons for sales order not consuming forecasts. I'm sure it will clarify necessary settings for you.

Best Regards,
Ada

KAmal,

The consumption is not dependent on Saleorder doc tyoe or item category. It depends 'first' on Strategy group maintained in MRP3, if I am right. Are you sure that the forecast is not getting 'consumed' for the new order type/item category?

Thanks,
