Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the management of BOM and plan validity in APO, focusing on several key areas such as the determination of explosion time for planned orders, source of supply by due dates, and the implication of order validity on plans and their components. Key functionalities discussed include the role of the 'order validity' field within plan activities, potential scheduling errors linked to order validity, and the handling of validity periods for external procurement orders. It also covers integration considerations when dealing with planned and production orders between APO and R/3, highlighting the need for careful management of order validities to ensure seamless operational flow and compliance with planned schedules.
