Hi Omkar,
Earlier it was not possible to CIF TAS orders to APO. But now, it is possible after SCM 7 EHP2.
It requires couple of business function activation. We have just set up this scenario in APO last month.
I would suggest following steps:
A)
Bu Business Functions to be activated
1) SCM APO: SCM_APO_DRS_PLAN
1) ECC: LOG_MM_OM_2
Th There is some config involved at ECC side. Schedule line category needs to be created with "External capacity Planning" ticked.
in APO , we get 21 planning strategy for third party orders with the activation of business functions.
1) 1) Sales Order processing with TAS item category
2) Automatic creation third party purchase requisition (Blocked in ECC)
3) 3) Blocked Purchase requisition CIFed to ECC
4) 4) This purchase requisition creates demand at vendor location, this demand at vendor location consumes forecast at DC
5) 5) CTM planning run generates supplies at vendor location (recommended constraint is Supplier capacity)
6) 6) Third Party demand and supply comparison report is available to release the blocked TP purchase requisition back to ECC
7) 7) Upon release of TP Purchase requisition to ECC, system will unblock the purchase requisition
8) 8) Purchase order can be created referencing to TP purchase requisition
Please see the link for third part order planning.
