Dependent demand and manufacture of co-products key figure

47 Views

Hello All -

I have a PPM with 3 operations:

Operation 1: Ouput product is X

Operation 2: Input product is X and Ouput product is Y

Operation 3: Input product is Y and Output product is Z.

This PPM has been manually created in APO itself and not CIFfed from R/3.

When I create a planned order for product Z, the system creates a dependent demand ( as expected and populates the dependent demand Key figure) for Y AND also creates a receipt for manufacture of co-products and populates the "manufacture of co-products" key figure.

Would be grateful if somebody can help me understand why this is being created and how do I restrict it? I do not want to create a receipt for co-products..

SAP help document say the system should create any receipts for co-products ONLY if there are multiple output products but in my case, for one operation, there are never multiple output products.

Appreciate your help!
