Pegging-Relevant Quantity for Sales Orders (changed)
Use
For a schedule line of a sales order there is a desired quantity and a confirmed quantity. If you have not performed an ATP check for the sales order, the confirmed quantity of a schedule line is 0. If you have performed an ATP check, and the ATP check either could not confirm items or could only partially confirm them, the confirmed quantity is smaller than the desired quantity or is also 0.
Up until now, the confirmed quantity was relevant for pegging as standard in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling(PP/DS); in other words, it was relevant for the net requirements calculation and for dynamic pegging. This led to the following discrepancies:
- As standard, a procurement planning heuristic created no procurement proposals, or created procurement proposals with an insufficient total receipt quantity, for unconfirmed or partially confirmed sales orders. However, as only the confirmed quantity is relevant for dynamic pegging as well, the system did not display any undercoverage alerts for uncovered sales orders.
- In order that a procurement planning heuristic creates sufficient procurement proposals, you had to set the Use Desired Quantity indicator in the settings for a procurement planning heuristic. As only the confirmed quantity was relevant for dynamic pegging, the system displayed surplus alerts for these procurement proposals.
Therefore, the standard functions did not automatically support processes for improving planning.
As of SAP APO 4.0, you can use the PP planning procedure to define for each location product whether the desired quantity or the confirmed quantity of a schedule line in the sales order is relevant for pegging; this setting is relevant for all planning applications in SAP APO. You define the pegging-relevant quantity for a location product as follows:
- If you assign a location product a planning procedure in which the new indicator Confirmed Qty Pegging-Relevant is set, the confirmed quantity is relevant for pegging for this product
- If you assign a location product a planning procedure in which this indicator is not set, the desired quantity is relevant for pegging
In SAP APO 4.0, the indicator is automatically set in the planning procedures that contain an action for covering dependent or stock transfer requirements. These planning procedures are relevant for the Capable-to-Promise process for which the confirmed quantity is important. The indicator is not set in the other planning procedures; that is, the desired quantity is relevant in this case. These planning procedures are relevant for products, for example, that you plan in the production planning run.
From a technical point of view, the change for SAP APO 4.0 involves defining the content of the field for the pegging-relevant quantity, REAL_QUANTITY, depending on the planning procedure that you have defined for a location product in the location product master. Up until now, this field always contained the confirmed quantity (less the quantity already delivered, if necessary). As of SAP APO 4.0, this field contains the confirmed quantity or the desired quantity for sales order schedule lines, depending on the planning procedure. All planning applications that use this field therefore automatically use either the confirmed quantity or the desired quantity.
Previous application-specific settings for the planning-relevant quantity do not apply or are changed as follows:
- Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)
- Procurement planning heuristics
- The Use Desired Quantity indicator in the procurement planning heuristics settings has been deleted in SAP APO 4.0.
- Model mix planning
- The Use Desired Quantity indicator in the procedure package has been deleted in SAP APO 4.0.
- Capable-to-Match (CTM)
- Up until now, you were able to define on the Settings tab page under Sales Order Quantity whether the confirmed quantity or the desired quantity was relevant for CTM planning. The corresponding fields have been deleted in SAP APO 4.0.
- Supply Network Planning(SNP)
- Up until now, you defined in SNP for each category group whether the system should use the confirmed quantity, the desired quantity, or the original quantity. The system determined the confirmed quantity from the REAL_QUANTITY field (as in PP/DS). As of SAP APO 4.0, there are the following changes:
- The system no longer determines the confirmed quantity from the REAL_QUANTITY field, but directly from the field for the confirmed quantity in the sales order, CONF_QUANTITY.
- The quantity that the system reads from the REAL_QUANTITY field in SAP APO 4.0 is now also called the pegging-relevant quantity in SNP.
- For more information, see the SNP release information Semantics in the Planning Area.
Collaborative management of scheduling agreement releases (CMDS)
The changes to the pegging-relevant quantity of sales order schedule lines do not affect scheduling agreement releases of sales scheduling agreements. In general, in the case of sales scheduling agreement releases, the desired quantity is relevant in planning. However, planning can also be executed on the basis of the confirmed quantity that has been confirmed during the planning process either automatically by the system, or manually by the user.
As a heuristic that is based on the algorithm /SAPAPO/HEU_PLAN_STANDARDLOTS for planning standard lots (such as the standard heuristic SAP_PP_002) always plans scheduling agreement releases on the basis of the desired quantity, a modified algorithm /SAPAPO/CMDS_PLAN_STANDARDLOTS is also available for planning as of SAP APO 4.0. A heuristic that plans on the basis of this algorithm (such as the standard heuristic SAP_CDS_F04) always uses the confirmed quantity for scheduling agreement releases.
Effects on Existing Data
In the upgrade to SAP APO 4.0, the planning procedures and the pegging-relevant quantity of sales order schedule lines are automatically converted. The system executes the XPRA /SAPAPO/XPRA_REAL_QUANTITY during the upgrade. After the upgrade, the REAL_QUANTITY field for a sales order schedule line for a location product contains either the desired quantity or the confirmed quantity, depending on which planning procedure has been entered in the location product master.
When upgrading releases earlier than SAP APO 3.1, the system converts the planning procedures to the following standard planning procedures in SAP APO 4.0:
| Planning procedure before SAP APO 3.1 | Planning procedure in SAP APO 4.0 | Pegging-relevant quantity |
| Automatic planning immediately | Cover dependent requirements immediately | Confirmed quantity |
| -- | ||
| Manual planning with check | Manual with check | Confirmed quantity |
| -- | ||
| Automatic planning | Planning in the planning run | Desired quantity |
| In the planning run | ||
| -- | ||
| Manual planning without | Manual without check | Desired quantity |
| availability check |
After the upgrade, check whether you want to use the new settings for the pegging-relevant quantity in the planning procedure. If required, change the planning procedures as follows, or assign location products another planning procedure with another definition for the pegging-relevant quantity:
- If you want to change the pegging-relevant quantity for a planning procedure, you use the function Convert Pegging-Relevant Quantity of Sales Orders. You call up the function using the transaction /SAPAPO/RRP_CONF_QTY. (The transaction is not included in the SAP APO menu.) This function performs the conversion in the planning procedure. You cannot change the setting of the pegging-relevant quantity directly in Customizing for the planning procedure.
- If you want to assign a location product another planning procedure, in which the pegging-relevant quantity has a different definition, you have to use the function Change Planning Procedure and Convert Sales Orders. You call up this function using transaction /SAPAPO/RRP_SET_RRPT. (The transaction is not included in the SAP APO menu.) You cannot assign any other planning procedure to a location product in the location product master or in mass maintenance that has a different definition for the pegging-relevant quantity to the planning procedure currently entered.
The system executes the desired function and then converts the pegging-relevant quantity of the existing sales order schedule lines in accordance with the new setting.
