Can we plan Vendor's capacity in SAP APO ?

[cruiser86]

I want to plan a third party vendor's capacity in our system. Is there a way to achieve this using SNP OR PPDS ?

Hi

As detailed in the original post below https://answers.sap.com/questions/10006997/subcontracting-with-modelling-vendor-capacity.html

You can follow the below Configuration and Functional Steps to model Vendor Capacity

Step 1: Create and activate Integration model to transfer scheduling agreements from ECC to APO through CIF. This data is generated in the SAP APO system as external procurement relationships.

Step 2: Check the Transportation lanes generated in APO after transferring Scheduling agreement from the ECC and assign Means of Transport to the lane using /N/SAPAPO/SCC_TL1

Step 3: Set-up Planning Area by copying the standard Planning area 9ASNP03 to Z Planning Area Z9ASNP03 using /N/SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN

Step 4: Set-up the Planning Book and Data view by copying the standard Planning Book 9ASA (Data view SAS(1)) to Z Planning Book Z9ASA (Data SA_PLAN) using /N/SAPAPO/SDP8B

Step 5: Create/release forecast for the Product at the Destination plant

Step 6: Go to the Planning Book Z9ASA (Data view SA_PLAN) in Interactive planning using /N/SAPAPO/SDP94 and verify the Forecast numbers. Enter the Bucket capacity of the Vendor in the Capacity (Scheduling agreement) Key Figure (9ACAP_MAX)

Step 7: Go to Supply Network Planning in the Background using /N/SAPAPO/SNP01 and execute with the following settings:

- Specify the Planning Book and Data view as the new Planning Book Z9ASA (Data view SA_PLAN)

- Specify the selection profile else specify the location products for which you want to run Heuristics

- Select Location Heuristics

- Select Location Product SA Capacity and specify the new Planning Book, Data view and the Key Figures which stores our data for MAX capacity, MIN Capacity and Capacity Consumption

o Planning Book = Z9ASA

o Data view = SA_PLAN

o Key Figure: Maximum Capacity = 9ACAP_MAX

o Key Figure: Zero Cap. Indicator= 9ACAP_MIN

o Key Fig.: Capacity Consumption = 9APSHIPLPO

Step 8: Go to /N/SAPAPO/SDP94 to view the results in the interactive Planning Book Z9ASA (Data view SA_PLAN)

RESULTS

- Observe that the Heuristic run took into account the Vendor capacities specified in the Capacity (Scheduling agreement) Key Figure and generated schedule lines where there was capacity specified available.

- After the bucket where there is no Capacity specified heuristics plans to fulfill its entire backlog demand if any

- Orders created are of Category HG = SNP: Sched. Agreement Sched.Line – SA

- The Schedule lines generated can be seen in Key Figure Distribution Receipt for LOCPROD (Planned)
