SNP Orders converted to PP/DS Orders, but not exploding BOM

[andy_yeri]

Experts,

Our FG & the SFG below it are both set with "Immediate Planning" procedure (A) on the Product masters. So, at any time, when the planning situation changes, a plng file entry is generated, receipts are generated. Things work well, when Orders are created within the PP/DS planning horizon.

Issues with BOM not exploding & not creating the SFG Planned Order come up, when we convert SNP Planned Orders into PP/DS planned orders. I've had to set an additional step to the conversion job, where I run either a BOM re-explosion heuristic or run SNP Network Heuristic to get the Planned Order for the SFG created.

I'm thinking, system should automatically recognize (since Planning Procedure is set to Immediate) Dep Demands created @ the SFG level as a qualifying event & trigger Planned Ord creation, which ain't happening.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks

Hello,

PP/DS & SNP horizons are set at 90 days for us. I don't think, this is the issue, however.

Hi Andy,

For BOM not getting exploded in planned order please check whether soure supply is displayed correctly in converted PPDS order.

If not check if you are using use SNP source of supply check box in SNP to PPDS conversion heuristic (SAP_SNP_SNGL) make sure that relevant PPDS PDS exists.

As par as SFG not getting planned imeediately as per planning procedure can you check below points.

1. If you are using SAP_SNP_MULT heuristic for conversion of SNP orders to PPDS orders check whether check box create planning file entry for component is checked is checked. If it is checked uncheck it and then try.

2. If you are calling SAP_SNP_SNGL from MRP heuristic check for the same setting in MRP heuristic.
