Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues in pegging, multi-level automatic planning (PP), and block planning. Key problems involve requirements not being effectively covered or distributed in pegging due to characteristic value assignments, leading to shortages. In PP, errors during multi-level planning result in incorrect order end dates due to improper requirement distribution. Block planning issues arise when general block basis definitions lead to suboptimal order sequencing, preventing optimal scheduling in specific blocks. The root of these issues lies in the management of characteristic values and requirements, often exacerbated by the overlap of values or lack of characteristic assignments. Currently, no system correction is available, but organizational adjustments can mitigate these issues, focusing on precise and consistent definition of characteristics in CDP and using configurations for requirements in R/3 integration to ensure proper pegging.
