Heuristic for the Conversion of SNP and CTM Orders (new)

Use

In SAP APO 4.0, the conversion of Supply Network Planning (SNP) orders or Capable-To-Match (CTM) orders into Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) orders is implemented as a heuristic based on the algorithm /SAPAPO/HEU_SNP_CONVERT. SAP provides the standard heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL that uses this algorithm. The conversion is thus included in the heuristic framework as of SAP APO 4.0 and utilizes its functions:

• You can schedule the conversion as a processing step in the production planning run and combine it flexibly with other processing steps. The conversion is made either for selected orders or for orders for selected products.

• You can call up the heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL using an MRP heuristic (algorithm /SAPAPO/HEU_MRP_PLANNING) in the production planning run, and thus use the service functions of the MRP heuristic for the conversion. These are important for a high-performing mass conversion and include extended logging, parallel processing, and bundling. The standard heuristic SAP_SNP_MULT is available for this purpose.

In the heuristic settings, you make all settings for controlling the conversion, as well as the strategy settings for scheduling PP/DS orders. Only the strategy settings that are relevant for the conversion are available, such as infinite scheduling. You now no longer use a strategy profile.

The heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL replaces - alone or combined wih the MRP heuristic SAP_SNP_MULT - the previous conversion functions as follows:

• Call in the order view

If you call up the conversion in the order processing view, in the receipts view, or - and this is new - in the product view, the system starts the standard heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL. The system uses the settings of this heuristic for the conversion. If you want to use a conversion heuristic with other settings in the order view as default, you enter this heuristic in Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) under Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults or you change the heuristic settings in the order view.

• Call in the Production Planning area menu

As before, you can call up an online mass conversion or background mass conversion using predefined variants in the area menu for Production Planning under Environment. A distinction should be made here between a new installation and an upgrade, as described below:

• New Installation

In the menu, you start the new report /SAPAPO/RRP_SNP2PPDS2 that uses a heuristic for the conversion.

• Upgrade

In the menu, you start the report /SAPAPO/RRP_SNP2PPDS as before. Therefore, you can still work with the jobs and variants that you used until now. With a strategy profile you still define the detailed scheduling strategies for scheduling PP/DS orders.

If you want to use the new functions, you use the production planning run or call up the new report /SAPAPO/RRP_SNP2PPDS2 using the transaction SE38.

Until now, the system did not take account of a propagation range during the conversion. The heuristic, on the other hand, takes account of the propagation range that you defined for the application in which you start the heuristic.
