Hi,

Varient configuration make to order you can use strategy 25 and for make to stoke you can use 65 strategy type.

Manufacturing of body you can use 65 strategy type. car can be done with 25 as usual.

please correct me if i am wrong or award.

Thank u

Hi avi.khambalkar,

Well i understand your scenario but thing is as of you said that assembly at one plant say Plant1 and Car mfg at one Plant say 2

So, if that is the case my question is in plant1 do you have variants for parts.

In plant2 there is no doubt you will have the different colors OK.

Here you have to decide that a in Plant1 if you want to keep stock you can use the Strategy 65 and which is MTS OK.

And in Plant2 Car body manufacturing with different colors so you have to go with 25 strategy which is MTO variant configuration OK.

And the other way you can combine both the plants1&2 and do the planning say Scope of planning.

I hope try it once and any queries pop me again.

Hi Madhu,

Yes I have variant in plant 1 also.

My Plant 1 for assembly for car which is working on MTO.

& Plant 2 for manufacturing body which is working on MTS. It means I have to select Strategy 25 for plant 1 & 65 for Plant 2.

Thanks

Hi,

I have query regarding Body manufacturing. Body is finished product for Plant 2 & Component for Plant 1. How I can define this in sap & where I can assign characteristics value in make to stock scenario if I choose strategy 65 in Plant 2 for Body.

Hi,

Why don't you try with:

Planning Strategy 50 is planning without final assembly.

OR

Planning strategy 70 is planning at assembly level.
