Product allocation in APO by customer hierarchy AND customer number

[dfiandri]

Hello,

I have a requirement from one client, who needs to implement product allocation in APO (SCM 7.14 0014).

The business wants to have product allocation by three different customer hierarchy levels AND customer number, using monthly buckets.

Example:

Cust.Hier.1 Cust.Hier.2 Cust.Hier.3 Cust.Nr. Qty.May Qty.June Qty.July Qty.Aug.

D023 234 220 250 190

D087 56 50 60 45

D132 120 130 105 100

1234 34 40 38 35

The hierarchies and the customer numbers are all complementary to each other.

Here is required that for example for cust hier 1 D023 the total allocated quantity for May is 234 tons, for each and every underlying customer.

We already implemented the change in the exit FV45VFZY form USEREXIT_CATALOG_VALU in order to pick up the hierarchy values.

A PA group was created to include all of the fields, as well as the corresponding CVC, but we cannot get to match the sales order values with the CVC (error: CVC not found...).

Does anyone has an idea how to implement such a strategy or had any experience with such a similar scenario?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

You can maintain Sequence of Product Allocation Procedures with different customer hierarchy and customer number.

With a sequence of product allocation procedures, several product allocations procedures are combined into a specific sequence. so here you need to have 3 different allocation procedure as customer hierarchy and create customer hierarchy 1,2 and 3 as different field catalog and use it in there procedure.

The product allocation object is the first characteristic in the product allocation group. If you change the product allocation object, a different product allocation time series is used for the corresponding period in the check.

When first sequence does not get allocation quantity it and go to second and so on.
