APO SNP Subcontracting with multiple production versions/PDS

[Former Member]

We have a need for vendor capacity leveling for our SNP based subcontracting in APO using SNP PDS. In this scenario we have two alternative
resources. This can be modeled either using multiple routings or alternative sequences for work centers. My understanding is that SNP PDS does not support multiple modes for alternative sequences. Next option is to have multiple production versions for subcontracting. When we create subcontracting purchase info record in ECC we have option to enter only one production version. I am not sure how to link multiple production versions to one subcon purchase info record, so that it can use alternative subcon resource (when resource-1 is fully consumed it should offload to resource-2). Appreciate any suggestions from experts.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

this is possible, just have a look at the documentation:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/4c/4e54bfeb096ad8e10000000a42189c/content.htm

(you need at lease ERP 2005 , EHP 03)

Hi Hubert,

That is correct answer. We are on higher EHP than required. We are on EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 and EHP2 FOR SAP SCM 7.0. But in ECC I don't see the option "Transfer multiple selection of PDS" in "Configure Change Transfer for Master Data" screen. Also we don't see "CMPDS1 - Assign multiple production versions" option in the menu. But we are able to run CMPDS1. Without setting the option  "Transfer multiple selection of PDS" in "Configure Change Transfer for Master Data" it's not transferring PDSs. So the question is how to get this customizing indicator option in  "Configure Change Transfer for Master Data" screen?

Do anyone know any config or some global setting we need to do in order to get these options? Greatly appreciate you answer.

Thanks

Raj
