Symptom
- A production order is created for the finished product (ABC), and the system generates a production proposal and dependent demand for the finished product (ABC) and its input materials.
- Among the input materials, there is a semi-finished product (DEF) that has its own BoM, BoO, and Production Model. However, the system does not create a production proposal for the semi-finished product (DEF), and no dependent demand is generated for the input materials inside the semi-finished product (DEF).
(Here ABC represents finished product and DEF represents semi-finished product )
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supply Planning work center.
- Open the Products view.
- Search and open the finished product (ABC) with relevant planning area ID.
- A production proposal is created for the finished product (ABC).
- Now open the semi-finished product (DEF) and its input materials with relevant planning area ID.
- No production proposal exists for the semi-finished product (DEF).
- No dependent demand exists for the input materials under the semi-finished product (DEF).
Cause
- The planning procedure in the product master for both the finished product (ABC) and the semi-finished product (DEF) is maintained as 'Manual Planning'.
- Because Manual Planning prevents automatic planning, the system does not create a production proposal or dependent demand for the semi-finished product (DEF).
Resolution
Update the Planning Procedure for both the finished product (ABC) and the semi-finished product (DEF) to any option other than Manual Planning (e.g., Demand-Driven Planning).
Steps:
- Go to the Product Portfolio work center.
- Open Products view.
- Search for the finished product (ABC).
- Choose Edit.
- Select View all.
- Navigate to the Planning tab.
- Change the Planning Procedure to a value other than Manual Planning for relevant planning area.
- Save and close.
- Repeat the same steps for the semi-finished product (DEF).
Now run Multi-BoM Level Planning for the finished product (ABC).
- Go to Supply Planning Work center
- Select Products View
- Search for the finished product(ABC) with relevant planning area ID
- Choose Open.
- Click 'Run Planning' and Select 'Multi-BoM Level'
Now the system will create production proposal for semi-finished product(DEF) and Dependent demand for input products which is inside the semi-finished product.
