Summary :
This SAP Note addresses discrepancies in how Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) areas in SAP APO and R/3 determine the issuing location for dependent requirements in planned orders. It confirms that, as of APO Release 4.0, issuing locations are derived from integration models that include MRP areas, production plants, and issue storage locations. While APO typically aligns the issuing location with the production location if the component's storage location is uncertain, R/3 defaults to the plant. Disparities arise from SAP APO’s flexibility in handling various location types, a contrast to R/3’s focus on plant-based order creation.

Key words :
