Pegging-Relevant Elements

Definition

Requirements, stock, or receipt elements that exist in SAP liveCache and that the system takes into account in dynamic pegging.

Use

The system may only create dynamic pegging relationships between elements that are relevant for pegging.The system does not create dynamic pegging relationships to elements that are not relevant for pegging.The Not Pegging-Relevant indicator is automatically set in the order view for an element that is not relevant for pegging.

Creation of Alerts for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)

The system creates many alerts for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) on the basis of dynamic pegging relationships between requirements elements and receipt or stock elements.If an element is not relevant for pegging, the system cannot create a pegging relationship to this element.Since the system does not assign stock or receipt elements to non-pegging-relevant requirements elements, the system always displays a shortage for this requirements element, even if sufficient stock or receipts exist.The same applies to a non-pegging-relevant stock element or receipt element that always generates a surplus.You should take this into consideration when interpreting the quantity alerts that the system generates for these “planning problems”.

Net Requirements Calculation in PP/DS

In the net requirements calculation in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS), the system takes account of the pegging-relevant requirements, stock, and receipts.PP/DS can also take account of safety stock requirements and safety stock receipts if they are not relevant for pegging.For more information, see Pegging Relevance of Safety Stock .

Overview of the Pegging Relevance of Elements

The following tables provide an overview of the pegging relevance of requirements, receipts, and stocks.

Pegging relevance of requirements elements

Requirements elements	Not relevant for pegging	Relevant for pegging	Relevant for pegging (conditional)
Sales order schedule lines			The schedule lines of sales orders are only relevant for pegging when you do not plan in SAP R/3 using the requirements strategy 10 (make-to-stock production).In this strategy, the system does not have the sales orders consume the planned independent requirements.In pegging, the system only uses the planned independent requirements. This means that it does not take account of the requirements twice.

Pegging relevance of receipt elements

Receipt elements	Relevant for pegging	Relevant for pegging (conditional)
Receipts from in-house production SNP and PP/DS planned orders Manufacturing orders	x
Receipts from external procurement: Purchase orders Purchase requisitions Scheduling agreement schedule lines	x

Safety stock		See Pegging Relevance of Safety Stock

Pegging relevance of stock elements

Stock element	Not relevant for pegging	Relevant for pegging	Relevant for pegging (conditional)
Unrestricted-use stock, unrestricted-use customer consignment stock, unrestricted-use supplier consignment stock		x
Stock in transit	x
Stock in transfer between locations			These stock types are only relevant for pegging if you have configured this in the location product master on the Demand tab page under Available Stocks .The settings are specific to the planning version.Quality inspection stock and stock in transfer between sublocations are available as standard.Stock in transfer between locations, blocked stock, and restricted-use stock are not available.
Stock in transfer between sublocations
Quality inspection stock, customer consignment stock in quality inspection, supplier consignment stock
Blocked stock, blocked customer consignment stock, blocked supplier consignment stock
Restricted-use stock, restricted-use supplier consignment stock

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

The source for stocks is an OLTP system: You execute inventory management in the OLTP system, and transfer stocks from there to SAP APO.

The descriptions of the stock types generally agree with the descriptions of the corresponding stock types in SAP R/3.Therefore, the links refer to the definitions of the stock types in SAP R/3, with the following exception: The descriptions of the stock in transfer differ in accordance with the mapping Plant → Location and Storage Location → Sublocation .

For the net requirements calculation in material requirements planning in SAP R/3 (PP-MRP), unrestricted-use stock, quality inspection stock, and stock in transfer between storage locations are always considered available.Stock in transit is not available.For stock in transfer between plants, blocked stock, and restricted-use stock, you define in Customizing for material requirements planning if these stock types are available for the net requirements calculation.These availability arrangements cannot be transferred from SAP R/3 to SAP APO in the standard system.

In SAP APO, you can change the availability of the stock types using the customer exit APOCF011.This is above all relevant for the stock types for which you cannot configure the availability in SAP APO.
