Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Perform demand management in ECC, which you can then use as a basis for production planning using APO.
Business Example
You company is planning to use an SCM system to plan production quantities and production line loading with the help of the APO functions. The planning functions should be tested using PC T-F13##. To prepare planning using SCM APO, create a demand in ECC by creating planned independent requirements and a sales order for a period of four weeks. Note: In practice, you would not plan two materials from the same enterprise area (as in this case T-F10## and T-F13##), one in ECC and one using APO – especially if they are manufactured using the same resources. For this course, the above procedure (T-F10## = “ECC material”
and T-F13## = “APO material”) is solely for demonstration purposes!
Task 1:
The integration relationships between ECC and SCM APO have been defined.
Firstly, in ECC, check the relevant data in the material master record for your test material T-F13##, plant 1200.
1. Is the indicator for repetitive manufacturing set?
______________________________________________________
2. Which repetitive manufacturing profile has been selected?
______________________________________________________
3. How many valid production versions are there? Check this data for consistency with reference to the routing and bill of material. Use change mode (MM02) here.
______________________________________________________
4. Which production lines are scheduled to perform production, according to the valid production versions?

Task 2:
1. In ECC, create a forecast (planned independent requirements) for personal computer T-F13## in plant 1200.
From the Demand Management menu, call up the transaction for creating planned independent requirements. Select W for weeks as the planning period. Switch to the Sched.Lines tab page and choose the Current week + 4 planning horizon. Do not enter a quantity. Enter D for division by day in the Splt field. Choose Enter to confirm. Enter the following planned quantities for the individual days of this week:
Weekday Monday Tuesday Wednes-day
Thursday Friday Planned
qty
600 500 100 300 500
Hint: If this week contains holidays, leave out the corresponding quantity/quantities.
Save these entries.
2. To check the consumption situation, a sales order will be considered, as an example.
Menu path in ECC:
Logistics → Sales and Distribution → Sales → Order → Create
Field name or data type Value
Order type OR
Sales organization 1000
Distribution channel 10 (End customer sales)
Division 00 (Division-wide)
Sales office 1000 (Frankfurt)
Choose Enter to confirm.
Field name or data type Value
Sold-to party 1500 (Royal British Rail)
PO Number 66##2
Field name or data type Value
Required delivery date Current week + 5, Tuesday
Material T-F13##
Quantity 10 pieces
Confirm with Enter and then Save the order.
Task 3:
Check the planning situation in ECC for the current stock/requirements list.
1. Is the sales order in a separate planning area? Why (not)?
______________________________________________________
Menu path:
Logistics → Production → MRP → Evaluations → Stock/Requirements List 2. Has the sales order been settled by the planned independent requirement?
______________________________________________________
Hint: You will generate procurement elements for this plan in the next exercise in the SCM system. Planning quantities (and the sales order) are transferred from the ECC system to the APO system using an appropriate active integration model – as already mentioned.
Solution 6: APO Production Planning:
Demand Management with ECC
Task 1:
The integration relationships between ECC and SCM APO have been defined.
Firstly, in ECC, check the relevant data in the material master record for your test material T-F13##, plant 1200.
1. Is the indicator for repetitive manufacturing set?
______________________________________________________
a) Yes
2. Which repetitive manufacturing profile has been selected?
______________________________________________________
a) 0001
3. How many valid production versions are there? Check this data for consistency with reference to the routing and bill of material. Use change mode (MM02) here.
______________________________________________________
a) There are two valid versions available. Their consistency in reference to the routing and BOM can be checked using the Check button in the details for the production version.
4. Which production lines are scheduled to perform production, according to the valid production versions?
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
a) According to the line loading plan in the second production version, the lines T-L1## (for production version 0001) and T-L2## (for production version 0002) are supported. These are also entered directly for displaying the capacity requirements in the production version.
Task 2:
1. In ECC, create a forecast (planned independent requirements) for personal computer T-F13## in plant 1200.
From the Demand Management menu, call up the transaction for creating planned independent requirements. Select W for weeks as the planning period. Switch to the Sched.Lines tab page and choose the Current week + 4 planning horizon. Do not enter a quantity. Enter D for division by day in the Splt field. Choose Enter to confirm. Enter the following planned quantities for the individual days of this week:
Weekday Monday Tuesday Wednes-day
Thursday Friday Planned
qty
600 500 100 300 500
Hint: If this week contains holidays, leave out the corresponding quantity/quantities.
Save these entries.

Task 3:
Check the planning situation in ECC for the current stock/requirements list.
1. Is the sales order in a separate planning area? Why (not)?
______________________________________________________
Menu path:
Logistics → Production → MRP → Evaluations → Stock/Requirements List a) The sales order is not in a separate planning area, because you are
working with the make-to-stock production strategy “planning with final assembly”.
2. Has the sales order been settled by the planned independent requirement?
______________________________________________________
Hint: You will generate procurement elements for this plan in the next exercise in the SCM system. Planning quantities (and the sales order) are transferred from the ECC system to the APO system using an appropriate active integration model – as already mentioned.
a) The sales order is settled by planning (the quantity of a planned independent requirement is displayed in the stock/requirements list as reduced by the quantity in the sales order).
