Short text
Product Interchangeability in PP/DS (New)
Use
The continued development of products or changes to production processes can make it necessary to discontinue a product and substitute it with a successor product. Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) supports the discontinuation of products in the procurement planning process and in the processing of in-house production orders that contain components with limited time validity. In the transition phase after the discontinuation date of a product, procurement planning uses up any existing surplus product stock - if permitted - and procures the successor product to cover open product requirements. In the execution phase of an in-house production order with interchangeable components, you have functions at your disposal with which you can react to short-term date/time and quantity changes, and update the order components based on the supersession chain.
PP/DS supports planning with product interchangeability in the following make-to-order production scenarios:
- Shop Floor Production or Repetitive Manufacturing Based on PPMs or PP/DS Runtime Objects with Order Processing in SAP R/3
- As a prerequisite for manufacturing order processing with SAP R/3, you must have a standard release SAP R/3 4.0B or higher.
- Repetitive Manufacturing Based on iPPE with Confirmation in SAP APO
- As a prerequisite you must have an SAP R/3 DI system with release 4.6B or higher.
PP/DS always plans here based on SAP APO product interchangeability master data. The use of product interchangeability master data is integrated in the following PP/DS applications:
- MRP Planning Run and Planning with the Product Heuristic
- To avoid an unnecessarily large amount of surplus stock resulting for a discontinued product, or to avoid requirements not being covered, the MRP planning run or the product heuristic always automatically plans all products in a supersession chain. The system forwards uncovered requirements and any surplus stock of a discontinued product to the successor product and takes account of the requirements and stock when planning the successor product. To forward a requirement or stock, the system creates a product substitution order. The product substitution is not mapped in the in-house production order in the planning phase. The in-house production order contains the components that the system has determined when creating the order by exploding the in-house production source of supply.
- Setting the Conversion Indicator and ATP Check for In-House Production Orders in PP/DS
- To take account of the limited time validity of the order components at the start of the execution phase at the latest, and to adopt substitute components in the order, if necessary, you have to set the conversion indicator for the order in PP/DS - dependent on a scenario - or perform a suitably configured ATP check. The system then updates the order components according to the supersession chain data.
Planning with product interchangeability in PP/DS is not possible:
- For manufacturer part number management
- For configurable products
- For products with continuous requirements
- In the Capable-to-Promise scenario
Planning with shelf life data is only possible with specific restrictions.
