Hi gurus,
I have tried to do some reading and researech before i'm posting the question here. as i'm still not clear with the concept.
Here is what we want to achieve. we have a finished material A. This material is used on sales orders (csutomer orders A). we have another mateiral called "PLAN A". THis is a planning material. Now we want to have planned independent requirements on PLAN A and when sales order comes in for material A, we want the planned ind reuqirements to be consumed from the planning material.
To achieve this here is what is the setting that i ahve on both the materials.
Material A : MRP type - PD, procurement type - E, strategy group -60 (planning with planning mateiral), consumption mode - 2, fwd consumption period 60, bwd consumption period 15, planning plant - XXXX (this is where we create the sales order out of the plant), planning material - PLAN A
material PLAN A (planning material) - MRP type - PD, procurement type - E, special procurement (50 - phantom assembly), strategy group -60 (planning with planning mateiral), consumption mode - 2, fwd consumption period 60, bwd consumption period 15,
now i created planned independet requirements in MD61 for PLAN A material with requiremetns type VSEV and put in 1000 EA for december month. I can see these requirements and also the planned order created in MD04 for this.
I'm trying to put in a sales order for the material A and the sales order is not getting confirmed and i made sure that the procruement tab in sales order came up with requirments type of KEVV but when i do the availablility check nothing comes up on the sales order avail check and nothing is getting confirmed. becuase of this i'm unable to see the sales order in MD04 for mateiral A.
The questions that i have are
1) is 60 stretegy group the correct group to use for thescenario that we want to achieve. please also correct me if i'm missing anything concept wise.
2) i'm assuming once we have the correct strategy group, at what point will the planned independent requirement from the plannign material disappear. is it right after th sales order is created and confirmed or after the sales order is shipped?
can anybody please help
Thanks for the assistance in advance
Thanks
