SOP for product group

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a problem transferring planed Sales quantities by product groups to SOP.

I did steps:

1. Planned sales quantities by material, KEPM.

2. Created product group with members material, MC84

3. Transferred planned sales quantities to SOP into inactive version, KE1E

I can see or change SOP for material (MC88, MC89), but plan for product group is empty (MC82, MC83)!!!! Iu2019ve tried to create sales plan for product group transferring it from COPA (MC82), but it doesnu2019t work. Accordingly Break down PG plan (MC76) doesnu2019t work because plan for product group is empty and there is nothing to distribute.

4. Iu2019ve checked planning type SOPKAPA for info structure S076. Structure row Sales has Aggregation method Total created. Iu2019ve tried to change planning type SOPKAPA, e.g. inserted new structure row. But for product group plan I see the same view, I mean there is no new structure row. Is it possible, that plan for product group used another planning type not SOPKAPA?

The main question is u2013 how to aggregate/ sum planned sales quantities for product group?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Greetings,

I guess,you know the limitations while transferring COPA plan data to SOP in PP module.

however,let me repeat 1.Unit of measure maintained in COPA module and PP module should be same.

further,2.You can transfer planning data to SOP at the product level or the product group level. If you want to plan and transfer data at the product group level, you need to create a characteristic (or characteristics) to represent the product group levels in SOP when you maintain your operating concern. Since in SOP product groups are stored as products in the database, make sure the characteristic you create for the product group has the same type and length as the characteristic "Product" (CHAR 18).

Kindly check these two limitations.
