Hi Guru,
System is SAP APO PP/DS.
Bom Header X
Bom component Y
X planned order start date: 10/10/2014 - End date 15/10/2014
Expected Y planned order end date 6/10/2014. Instead of 10/10/2014 (as per standard system behaviour) - offset by 4 days
We are using PP/DS optimiser.
I want to know how can we model the master data with which we can ensure that components are always available X days before the required date as per the header planned order's start date. Basically the client wants to build inventory of the components to be consumed by N number of days.
There are several options that I have tried but unsuccessfully :
Safety time: Optmizer does not respect safety time. Also there is a setting but that will be applicable to all. So not a desired option.
BOM component lead time offset: Somehow PDS is not picking the lead time data maintained in the BOM in ECC. When a planned order is created for Y, ECC yes it ends early (based on lead time maintained), but APO doe snot respect. No impact in APO
GR time: Planned order start date is moved and not the end date. For example is I maintain 5 days of GR time for Y, lead time 1 day so system will advance start date by days and will make planned order start date for Y as 5/10/2014 instead of making planned order end date a 5/10/2014.
any other suggestion:?
Thanks
