Interchangeability using stock of Predessor before Successor

[Former Member]

I am curious if anyone solved the issue of using Interchangeability ("FULL" with "USEUP") with stock of both products.

Example:   we have demand of "Successor" and stock of both "Predessor" and "Successor".

Standard SNP Heuristics will consume stock of "Successor" before utilizing stock of "Predecessor" to meet the demand of Successor.

Likewise, SNP Heuristics will consume stock of "Predecessor" before utilizing stock of "Successor" to meet the demand of Predecessor.

We would like SNP Heuristics to consume stock of Predessor before consuming stock of Successor (for demand of Successor oro Predecessor).

Is this possible?   BADI SNP_INC_STFW seems to control when stock is consumed but not what stock.

Has anyone solved this issue?  If so, can we use an existing BADI or did you create your own?

BADI BADI SNP_INC_STFW seems to solve this issue.

I will ask a different question but will probably get in trouble.

How to have SNP Heuristics create Stock Transfer Requisition for "old"/ "Predecessor" after utilizing stock of both "old"/Predecessor and "new"/Successor stock?

Hi Ken,

SNP engine will create a PR  for the product on which there is demand. So, rather than trying to manipulate SNP Heuristic to create an order for the old product , you may want to copy the forecast to the 'old' models. So if the forecasting happens at both new and old, you may copy the forecast to old and then release to SNP. And then, the PR will always get created for the old model. And this might help in interchangeability scenario too w/o the need of BADI.

Hope that helps.

Hello Ken,

Sorry to just jump in, but we have a similar requirement but using CTM. Is this BADI applicable for CTM as well. We have demand on successor but want the predecessor stock to be consumed before generating any receipts on the sucessor.

Shweta,

You are not correct..  If demand is for old, SNP will create stock transfer for the new. That is the entire purpose/reason/logic of interchangeability.
