Process Flow

In this example, a quantity of 10 pieces is entered with a required delivery date of today. An order like this can be confirmed after the replenishment lead time.

Stage 1: Demand Management

This stage does not apply to this strategy.

Stage 2: Procurement Before Sales

This stage is also not applicable in this strategy because production does not take place without a sales order. If there are advance sales orders in the system, production is carried out before the required delivery date.

Stage 3: Sales Order

  1. A sales order is created (Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Sales ® Order ® Create).

    2. Here you need to note the following:

    · It is possible to confirm a quantity according to an ATP checking rule ( Edit ® Check availability on the Sales Order screen). Here it is important that you maintain the material master so that the replenishment lead time is used in the check, because you do not always have warehouse stock.

    · The system finds the schedule line category CP and the item category TAN because the item category group was set to NORM. The table of planning strategy assignments shows this.

    · The system finds the requirements type KL (under the Procurement type tab title) because the strategy group has been set to 30.

  2. Once the sales order has been entered, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Stage 4: Procurement After Sales

  1. A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run (Logistics ® Production ® MRP ® Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:

    2. Date

    Note

    Make-to-stock + rlt = today + replenishment lead time

    This procurement requisition is the starting point for production or external procurement. Various possibilities exist for handling the procurement process in the R/3 System. One option would be to convert the planned order into a production order, then release the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible, however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.

  2. After receipt of the order and a second MRP run, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Stage 5: Goods Issue for Delivery and Reduction of Planned Independent Requirements

After delivery (Logistics ® Sales and distribution ® Shipping ® Delivery ® Create) and goods issue, the stock/requirements list is reset to initial (empty).
