Planning raw materials without having the finished products set up

60 Views

Dear experts,

we are having a specific situation for which the finished product are really variable (only being sold once) so they are created in SAP as materials when the sales order is coming. Because of that they are planned as MTO in SAP. On the other hand, almost all of those finished products are using a similar group of raw materials, which would be necessary to plan/purchase in advance.

Is it possible to plan/purchase the raw materials based on a pre-defined forecast for them and then to link them to the corresponding new FP BOM (MTO)?

Which would be the require materials set up or configuration for that? Once the FP is in place ,the system should not duplicate the demand for the raw materials as the forecasted quantities should be able to cover that demand.

Thanks a million!

kind regards,

Jose
