Dear seniors,
There is a SO for the date of 12 15.
MRP Runs and a Planned Order is created with Available for MRP Date 12 15.
The customer wants to expedite, so the SO will be changed for the date of 12 01
The Planned Order will get an Rescheduling Message to pull in to 12 01.
Now ... for 12 15 I have components available for the Planned Order, so the ATP STatus is GREEN. I can still confirm this date to the customer as being "the best we can do" in case that expediting does not work.
If I update the Planned Order dates, I loose commitment for components, but I can trigger exception messages for buy parts from BOM to trigger purchasing. In this case I can loose "the best we can do" date, as other orders will commit those components in time
CONCLUSION: Based on above scenario I can choose between reserving components for the 12 15 for the PLO or loose commitment to trigger purchasing.
Do you have a better idea about how to manage such an expedite scenario in SAP ? Maybe you had seen something similar to other customers and can share a warm thought
Many thanks
P.S We are using the partial confirmation logic
