Sample Scenario: Strategy 20 

Process Flow

Stage 1: Demand Management

This stage does not apply to this strategy.

Stage 2: Procurement Before Sales

This stage does not apply to this strategy because there is no production without a sales order. If sales orders exist in the system in advance, production is performed before the required delivery date.

Stage 3: Sales Order and Allocation

  1. A sales order is created.

    2. · Any quantity can be confirmed according to the ATP checking rule for a make-to-order environment, AE. The header text, which says Availability Control, indicates this is an availability check according to ATP logic.

    · The system finds the schedule line category CP and item category TAN because the item category group was set to NORM.

    · The system finds the requirements type KE (under the Procurement type tab title on the Sales Order screen because the strategy group has been set to 20).

  2. In this scenario, an order with a quantity of ten pieces is now entered with a required delivery date of today. This order can be confirmed after the replenishment lead time.
  3. Once the sales order has been entered, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

he Cstock lines divide the total stock into independent customer sections.

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 teh following information:

    t + 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 for the yield quantity.

  2. After processing a goods receipt for the order and running MRP a second time, the stock/requirements list displays the following information:

Date
