SOP & xml files import to sap

[Former Member]

Hello to everyone.

That is my first post on SAP SCN, so.... sorry for any problems and failure to customs on your community or duplication of discussion that have already been posted.

My business scenario is...

I have to create for some of the clients in the system standard SOP procedure ( both for single material and product groups, but in fact i think it don't matter), till the moment of MRP run of course. For ROH and HALB, after MD02, I see in MD04 all necessary PurReq. That works perfect.

But in some cases company receives also from the client of us XML files with Sales Orders (imported to SAP).

My problem is that I don/t know how to avoid duplication of Pur Req.

If I will do standard SOP in the system, and then receive xml file with Sales Order, imported to SAP, will I see "double" Purchase Requisitions for ROH and HALB in MD04?

I would like to avoid those double PurReq .

Can you highlight for me how should I do it?

Of course point rewarded for discussion just after answer receive

Hello,

What is the planning strategy are you using?  If you use the the planning strategy like 40 then sales order will consume the the forecast requirements. So there would not be more supply or duplication of supply element s like planned orders or purchase requisitions.

Thanks for your reply R Brahmankar.

Of course your answer is correct and very helpful. The planning strategy is the key in this situation.R Brahmankar

Can I have just one more question?  Is the planning strategy 40 that should be maintain in material master is only one appropriate strategy in my situation?

Or maybe there are more planning strategies that I can use.

Thank in advance

Best Regards

Hello

Strategy 40 is the most commonly used, but there are other options. If you are using make-to-stock you can choose, for example, strategies 10 or 11.

In order to choose a strategy, you must understand in detail how each one of them will work and I suggest you to go through the following link from SAP Help, where the planning strategies are described:
