Dear Subbu,

What do you mean by bulk of 200 materials?

If my understanding is correct then it seems you have 200 different assemblies which needs to be planned through SOP and

then the production plan should be transferred to demand management.Is that your requirement?

Check and revert back.

Hi Mangal,

You are right.

I have 200 assemblies.

I have received an sales plan from Marketing team which has 200 FG products in it.

Is there is a way to plan all the products in SOP single time without making product group.

Regards

Subbu

Hi,

You can plan N number of materials with out product group but you have to use flexible SOP.

In that you can plan based on customer or based on sales org. or distribution channel or division or based on material group etc...

revert me if any issue
