Find planning relevant materials and locations for SNP Optimizer

[jinu_gs]

Hello,

We have a requirement of finding out planning relevant materials and locations in APO .As the materials are wrongly extended to all locations, snp optimizer is having performance issues  and sometimes fails without finding optimal solution.

One way to identify planning relevant materials and locations is to identify materials where there is forecast.

The idea is to reduce number of locations and materials which are relevant for planning so that snp optimizer selections could be updated with those materials and locations.

Could you please let me know if you have done anything similar in the system.

Thanks for your response

Hi Sony,

If the material and location are APO that means you have made them planning relevant.

Have you looked into product decomposition using snp priority profile.

Hi Sony,

this question would better fit into the SCM space.

You can differentiate APO planning relevant materials from R/3 planning relevant ones based on their integration via CIF. This means that you should only integrate material/location combinations (actually MARC entries) to APO which are relevant for SNP optimizer.

Due to the fact that you accidently extended all materials to all locations, you need to differentiate based on another suitable criteria. And this is usually the MRP type which is plant dependent.

Example:

Update all APO planned materials in the respectively relevant plant with MRP type X0 (externally planned) and all the ones which are not with PD.

Use this field as selection criteria within your CIF integration process.
