PP-MP-DEM strategy 56: PIR consumption with sales order

150 Views

Hello all,

I am currently testing the strategy 56 for configurable materials and I'd like some help on the consumption part.

I've read the SAP help portal documentation and different documents on SAP forum/wiki support but I'm not 100% sure. My understanding is:

  • When using this strategy and PIR with configuration supporting point, the PIR is consumed by Sales order ( or CIR ) if it's configuration contains at least the characteristic value mentionned in PIR's configuration supporting point. Is this correct ?
  • Here, for this question, I'm not interested in the dependent requirements on components. Only the header material ( KMAT ).

Example to illustrate what I'm saying below:

Using a configurable material ( KMAT ) with strategy 56, VC master data is maintained:

  • Class 300 with 5 characteristics among witch, for example, characteristic color
  • Configuration profile
  • Strategy - consumption moder - period on material master
  • Planning table MDP1 with characteristic Color
  • CBF table MDP4 with characteristic Color value BLUE.
  • Planning profile MDPH with flag planning relevant.
  1. Example Consumption 1:

Now I've created a PIR with qty 10 with configuration supporting point with usage probablity 100% on Color = BLUE.

A Sales Order ( or CIR ) Qty 1 is created with a configuration in which charac. Color = Blue.

I expect the Sales Order ( or CIR ) to consume Qty 1 from PIR. PIR is at Qty 9.

  1. Example Consumption 2:

A Sales Order ( or CIR ) Qty 1 is created with a configuration in which charac. Color = Red.

I expect the Sales Order ( or CIR ) WILL NOT consume the PIR. PIR should be at Qty 10

Is my assumption correct ?

I'm asking because in my tests, in consumption 2 example, the sales order consumes the PIR ...

Which is absolutely not what I expected from this strategy.

When I look at SAP Help It is my understanding that the consumption of PIR happens if sales order as configuration containing characteric value from configuration supporting point
