Summary :
The SAP Note addresses incomplete documentation for "Part Period Balancing" and "Groff Reorder Procedure" heuristics, affecting procurement and storage cost calculations in SAP APO. It clarifies that both heuristics do not vary with the procurement type when defining the cost function, and provides detailed steps and examples on calculating costs based on lot-sizing, including adjustments for variances in procurement periods. It emphasizes the importance of accurately defining cost functions and procurement details in the product master to prevent errors during the planning run and to ensure an optimal balance between ordering and storage expenses.
