Integration of Sales Orders in APO

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am having difficulties getting Sales Orders in APO. My materials use R/3 Strategy 40 which means that my forecast is reduced/consumed by my sales orders: In my tests I only managed to get the sales orders in APO if I use the ATP setting " individual customer requirement" in the R/3 material master. Is this a mandatory master data setting in R/3 or shoud I be able to get the Sales orders in APO even when using the indicator "Daily / collective requirement" in R/3 ?

Thanks

Hi,

for planning with APO it is mandatory to use individual customer requirements. APO is used for detailed planning, so it will only consider individual requirements; if you use collective requirements they are filtered out already in R/3 and are not even sent to APO.
