Summary :
This SAP Note discusses release recommendations for SAP SCM 7.0 PP/DS, providing critical guidance on using the APO Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling module. Notably, it highlights supported special procurement types such as subcontracting and phantom assembly, but excludes others like phantom planning. Additionally, the note provides insights on lot-sizing procedures, stressing that the FS procedure, unlike the FX, offers a better basis for finite later planning in R/3. The note also covers integration limitations in variant configuration, documentation mismatches in PDS versus PPM, and issues related to fixed pegging in APO. Moreover, it clarifies SNP-PDS generation from R/3, pointing out limitations in object dependencies and planned operations. For detailed information and solutions to these restrictions, specific BAdIs and BAdI methods are suggested.
