Determining the Pegging-Relevant Quantity for Customer Requirements 

Use

For customer requirements, Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) and Capable-to-Match (CTM) plan on the basis of the pegging-relevant quantity. Supply Network Planning (SNP) is also able to take account of the pegging-relevant quantity for customer requirements.

Since a customer requirement has two quantities – the desired quantity and the confirmed quantity – you have to determine which of these quantities is relevant for pegging. You determine this at location product level, which means that for all customer requirements for a location product, either the desired quantity or the confirmed quantity is relevant for pegging. If a delivery has already been made for a schedule line, the pegging-relevant quantity is reduced by the quantity delivered.

Features

The PP planning procedure entered in the location product master determines which quantity is relevant for pegging:

·        If the indicator Confirmed quantity pegging-relevant is set in the PP planning procedure, the confirmed quantity of a sales order schedule line is relevant for pegging for this location product

·        If this indicator is not set in the PP planning procedure, the desired quantity of a customer requirement is relevant for pegging

Therefore, you do not just use PP planning procedures specifically for PP/DS to determine how PP/DS reacts to planning-relevant events for a location product. The PP planning procedure also contains the cross-application setting for the pegging-relevant quantity of a customer requirement. The PP planning procedure is thus relevant to all applications that use the pegging-relevant quantity.

In the standard system, the indicator Confirmed quantity pegging-relevant is set for the PP planning procedures that contain an action for covering dependent requirements or stock transfer requirements. These planning procedures are relevant to the Capable-to-Promise scenario in which the confirmed quantity is important for planning.

The indicator is not set for the other PP planning procedures. Therefore, the desired quantity is relevant for pegging in this case. You use these PP planning procedures for products that you plan in the production planning run in PP/DS. The following table provides an overview of the pegging-relevant quantity of the individual standard planning procedures.

Activities

Changing the Pegging-Relevant Quantity

If you want to change the setting for the pegging-relevant quantity of customer requirements for a location product, you change the PP planning procedure as follows or assign another PP planning procedure to the location product:

·        Changing the PP planning procedure

The indicator Confirmed quantity pegging-relevant in the PP planning procedure is only used for display purposes, meaning that you cannot configure the pegging-relevant quantity in the PP planning procedure. If you want to change the quantity that is relevant for pegging, you use the transaction /SAPAPO/RRP_CONF_QTY to call the function Convert Pegging-Relevant Quantity of Customer Requirements. (You cannot call the function in the menu.) 

·        Assigning another planning procedure to the location product

You cannot assign any other planning procedure, which differs in the definition of the pegging-relevant quantity from the planning procedure currently entered, to a location product directly in the location product master or in the mass maintenance for location products. If you want to assign another planning procedure to a location product in which the pegging-relevant quantity is defined differently, you use the transaction /SAPAPO/RRP_SET_RRPT to call the function Change Planning Procedure and Convert Customer Requirements. (You cannot call the function in the menu.)

The functions execute the desired change in the PP planning procedure or in the location product, and then convert the pegging-relevant quantity of customer requirements in accordance with the new setting.

Defining the Pegging-Relevant Quantity in SNP

In general, for each category in a category group, you define which quantity type the system takes into account. You can define the confirmed quantity, the desired quantity, or the pegging-relevant quantity, for example.

You want to plan customer requirements in SNP with the confirmed quantity. However, a planning procedure is set in the location product master in which the desired quantity is relevant for pegging. In this case, set the quantity type confirmed quantity for the category BM of the customer requirements.
