Forecast not getting reduced by incoming Sales order

[former_member323340]

Hi All,

We have a product with strategy 20 : Planning with final assembly in APO. I have a forecast for a future date for 10 units. Now I have created a sales order in ECC for 5 units and this is visible in rrp3 along with the above forecast. However the forecast quantity is not reduced as per the sales order quantity. My expectation is once the sales order for 5 units comes into rrp3 then the forecast should get reduced corresponding and should be changed to 5 units from 10 units.

I have checked the consumption mode which is backward-forward and both the forecast and the sales order fall exactly on the same date in future.

Can you please let me know what could be the issue.

Best Regards

Hello,

In the material master Always collective requirements have to be choose. The horizon forward/backward of the consumption mode 2 have to cover the desired horizon (Forecast/SO)

Also check the category of the SO and then check the strategy 20 to see if the SO order category is take in consideration.

Thanks,

Hello,

The strategy: SPRO - APO - DP - Basic Settings - Consumption - Spec.Req.Strategy

The FA category must be in the Net Segment. Scroll on the right side to find the category group. In the category group you define the category of the SO.

For category group follow the path: SPRO - APO -PPDS - Maintain Categ.Group

The standard is K01 with Consumption Sales Orders category BM.

Thanks,

Hello,

Please run the SO report /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 and report /SAPAPO/CSP_CORRECT_FCST (provided by Abhishek.K). The reports will fix any inconsistencies.

If you still have the same issue please take in consideration the Ada's document (very good and detailed).

Thanks,

Hi Ada,

Thankyou for sharing the complete KBA document. Unfortunately I have checked every point that you have mentioned and could see they coincide what it should be.

Not sure what else it would be.....

Thanks

Dear Ada and all,

I have tested this in another client i.e testing client instead of development and could confirm that sales order is consuming the forecast. But here the issue I have is I have forecast for 10 units and when creating sales order for 5 units, system actually consumes only 1 unit from the forecast and shows forecast for 9 units and salesd order for 5 units.

To test further I have created another sales order for 4 units and now the situation in rrp3 is forecast for 8 units and two sales orders one for 5 and another for 4.

In conclusion, for each sales order only one unit of forecast is consumed irrespective of the sales order quantity. I do not know what is causing this issue. can you help if you get any clue.

thanks.

Nice! Very nice!

Can you post some screenshots to admire this system behavior? BTW maybe it's a good idea to contact SAP support!
