Pegging Overview 

Use

The pegging overview gives the planner an overview of all pegging relationships for a location product.

In the pegging overview, you can check existing fixed pegging relationships or manually create fixed pegging relationships yourself. It is also possible to assign partial quantities only and to create fixed pegging relationships for these partial quantities. You can also delete fixed pegging relationships.

Integration

●      The pegging overview is a tab page in the Product View. However, you can also access it directly from the SAP APO menu, by choosing Production Planning  --> Interactive Production Planning --> Pegging Overview.

●      The pegging overview can also be displayed as a chart in the product planning table.

Features

Structure of the Pegging Overview

All pegging relationships that exist for a location product are listed in a table. All receipt and requirement elements that are assigned to one another via pegging are displayed in a row.  The following pegging information is displayed in the columns:

●      Receipt element

●      Receipt characteristics

●      Requirements element

●      Requirement characteristics

●      Receipt quantity

●      Requirements quantity

●      Dynamic pegging quantity

●      Fixed pegging quantity

This quantity is the sum of all manual and automatic fixed pegging quantities of the selected receipt elements that are assigned to one or more requirements.

●      Actual pegging quantity

This is the product quantity that is actually forwarded from a receipt to a requirement in a fixed pegging relationship.

When you create a fixed pegging relationship manually, you must enter the desired pegging quantity, that is, the (partial) quantity of the receipt that you wish to assign to the requirement. The quantity that is then actually forwarded from the receipt to the requirement is automatically determined by the system and can differ from the desired pegging quantity. See also: Calculation of the Actual Pegging Quantity

●      Pegging Type

The indicator Pegging Type is used to show which type of pegging relationship exists for the requirement or receipt element:

○       D for dynamic pegging relationship

○       M for manually fixed pegging relationship

○       A for automatically fixed pegging relationship

○       C for combined pegging relationship

Type C indicates that several pegging relationships with different types exist, such as a manually fixed and an automatic (created using the heuristic) fixed pegging relationship.

If not pegging type is displayed, the receipt element or the requirement element has not been assigned using pegging.

●      Receipt date

●      Requirement date

Display of Planning Segments

In contrast to the Elements tab page, in which all existing planning segments of a location product are displayed, the system is only able to display one planning segment in the pegging overview. If there is a make-to-stock segment it is displayed here. The other planning segments can be selected from the overview tree.

Creating Single-Level Fixed Pegging Relationships Manually

In change mode, you enter a value into the field Fixed Pegging Quantity.  You can create the pegging relationship manually by entering a quantity. You can also enter partial quantities.

By selecting a row and choosing the icon  Fix Complete Quantity you can assign the actual pegging quantity in one step. Doing so replaces existing dynamic pegging relationships with fixed pegging relationships. However, you can also select multiple rows and thus create multiple fixed pegging relationships.

It is not possible to create fixed pegging relationships to a virtual safety stock. If you also want to create fixed pegging relationships for safety stock elements, you must choose the option 3 Consider Safety Stock Requirements in SAP liveCache in the field Take Safety Stock into Account in planning version management.

Deleting Fixed Pegging Relationships

You can delete a fixed pegging relationship by deleting the quantity in the Fixed Pegging Quantity field.

You can also delete a fixed pegging relationship between a receipt element and a requirement by selecting the row and choosing  Delete Fixing Completely.

Alternative Requirements/Receipts

You can use this button to display all alternatives that have not yet been assigned via fixed or dynamic pegging. However, this is not possible for make-to-stock production.

Choose Layouts

There are two standard layouts:

●      SAP standard variant receipts (elements sorted according to receipt elements)

●      SAP standard variant requirements (elements sorted according to requirements)

Display Additional Columns

You can display two additional fields by choosing Layout → Change Layout:

●      Automatic fixed pegging quantity

Quantity of the selected receipt element that is assigned to a requirement via a fixed pegging relationship. The fixed pegging relationship was created automatically by the system using a heuristic.

●      Shortfall quantity for requirements (receipts variant)/surplus for receipt elements (requirements variant)

If the receipt quantity of a receipt element is only partially assigned to a requirement the receipt element generates a surplus. If the quantities of a receipt element assigned to a requirement element are not sufficient to cover the requirement, a shortage exists for the requirement element. The system displays the following information:

○       The surplus quantity for a receipt element (positive value)

○       The shortage quantity for a receipt element (negative value)

Advanced Search for Pegging Alternatives:

Using this function, you can search for receipt elements belonging to other pegging areas. Choose the pushbutton Alternative Recpts. on the Pegging Overview tab to search for alternative receipt elements.
