Sales Order Oriented Planning

Use

This process combines the advantages of a make-to-stock startegy, that is that you can forecast future demand using various staistical methods, with those of a make-to-order startategy, in that only the quantity that customers actually require is produced.

The consumption of the forecast by orders has been extended in Release 3.1. It i s now possible to consume the forecast demand by sales orders at customer level. This function makes use of descriptive characteristics (described in more detail in release note Descriptive Characteristics).

Demand is planned in Demand Planning, using a characteristic for the customer. This characteristic has previously been assigned to a field from the ATP field catalog in a consumption group. The demand plan is released to order LiveCache.

Only those planned orders for which a sales order exist can be converted to production orders or purchase requisitions.

In the requirements ascertainment period, the customer is asked to confirm their requirements in the form of purchase orders, which are entered in R/3 as sales orders. The sales orders are transferred via the core interface to the APO system where they consume the forecast.

In PP/DS two heuristics can be used:

  1. The first heuristic finds planned independent requirements for a customer that have not been consumed or only partially consumed by sales orders for the same customer.
  2. After the requirements ascertainment period has expired, the planned independent requirements, planned orders as well as the secondary requirements and planned orders that are not covered by sales orders are removed from the system. There are two variants of this heuristic.
  • The program starts at the product level

  • The program starts at any component level

The planned orders for which sales orders exist can now be converted to production orders/purchase requisitions.

Conversion block: To prevent planned orders for which no sales orders exist being converted to production orders or purchase requisitions, you enter a conversion rule in the product master data. You maintain conversion rules in Customizing for PP/DS, see Maintain Conversion Rules. However it is possible to give particular users authorization to overwrite the conversion rule, that is to convert planned orders that do not have a relevant sales order. For more information, see.
