Make-to-order production

[tor_holter]

Hello all,

In a plant they produce a customer specific semi-finished which is packaged in different formats.

When a sales order is created for one of the MTO finished goods that will trigger the production of the semi-finished. The lot-size of which is larger than requirements from single order line. Therefore customer must make sure that total requirements from sales order lines matches quantity of semi-finished. The problem is that with normal MTO SAP will create one planned order for the semi-finished for every sales order line. Instead I want single planned order to cover customer requirements.

This shoud be make-to-order production of semi-finished good and the finished goods and want to have forecast on the finished goods.

Somebody solved this before?

Best regards,

Hi Tor,

As I understand: you want your SFG to have separate PldOrd for each SO of FG.

What about individual/collective requirement setting? Cannot you solve your problem via this?

Thanks for your reply.

I want both FG and SFG to be procured after sales order. I would like a forecast on FG level to have RM on hand.

I want MTO strategy but I want to balance the volume of a single SFG batch to several sales order lines.
