Hi Nick,

Its not supported with ctm upto v5.0, though have not given a try with newer version

If this doesn't work in standard then you can think of using some exit or BADI.

You can refer to SAP note 855229 for further information on this.

Hi Sourabh

I checked the Scenario in SCM 7.0...it is not respecting the Forecast Horizon. I also did go through the note 855229, not helping...

Any suggestions?

Hi Rachel,

You can check with CTM sorting or Demand proritization user exit, if you can somehow take forecast horizon into consideration.

Sorting exit:

EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLBOP_SORT_020

please let others also know if you get something useful here.

Dear Nick

Explanation is given in F1 Help..

Demand Selection Horizon (in Days)

Use

You can limit the selection period for demands that Capable-to-Match Planning (CTM) uses, depending on product. If, for example, you plan products with different lead times, you can determine the selection horizon for the demands of one product in a different way to the selection horizon for the demands of another product.

The value that you enter here in days determines the end date of the selection horizon, starting on the current date. If the value entered here is after the original end date, the system keeps this original end date. The value entered here does not affect the starting date of the selection horizon determined in the CTM profile or order selection.

Dependencies

If you have set the Ignore Prod-Spec. Sel. Horizon Demands indicator, CTM planning only considers the entries in the order selection or in the CTM profile.

If you have set the Relate Horizons to Planning Start indicator in the CTM profile, the product-dependent selection period does not relate to the current date, but to the planning start date.
