Forecast Consumption Error

84 Views

Hello,

We are in make-to-order scenario, wherein the Sales Order has "BOM items" as line items. But we have make-to-stock scenario for component items. So when we create a Sales order with a BOM item in SAP R/3, dependent demand is created in SAP APO for the BOM item. Currently the requirement strategy we use in APO is planning with final assembly (20).

Suppose I release 100 forecast quantity from DP to SNP in the current time bucket (07/30/2007), and I create a Sales Order in R/3 for quantity of 10 for the BOM item on monday (07/30/2007), dependent demand 10 is created in the current time bucket in SNP. The situation looks like this in SNP before Sales order is created for a quantity of 10:

Scenario 1:

07/30/2007:

Forecast : 100

Depend Demand: 0

Total Demand: 100

After Sales order for a quantity of 10 created:

Scenario 2:

07/30/2007:

Forecast : 90

Depend Demand: 10

Total Demand: 100

Now when I process my sales order completely in the system and post good issue in R3, the situation should look like:

Scenario 3:

07/30/2007:

Forecast : 90

Depend Demand: 0

Total Demand: 90

But the Situation is still looks like:

Scenario 4:

07/30/2007:

Forecast : 100

Depend Demand: 0

Total Demand: 100

Can someone please let me know, why I am not getting scenario 3?

Thanks in advance,

Venkat.
