Hello PK,
Heuristics will not create a receipt while taking account of the PP/DS planning time fence.
only possible to plan new orders in the planning time fence manually.
The planning time fence is valid for both external procurement and in-house production.In the case of external procurement,
Use SAP_PP_002 as product heuristic in APO product master. Maintain PPDS horizon, planning time fence as per requirement.
New planned orders/Preqs created by a heuristic have their availability date on or after the planning time fence.
The "PP-Firmed" indicator is set if one of the firming indicators is set at header level or at a product receipt or if the order is within the planning time fence.
Requirements within the planning time fence can no longer be covered in time by an automatic planning anyway.
In infinite scheduling, reciepts created simultaneously at the end of the planning time fence.
If you want to avoid rescheduling orders within the planning time fence due to a reexplosion, you should use an infinite scheduling strategy during planning.For information on this subject, refer also to note 551124 'APO:Finite scheduling with the MRP heuristic (Documentation)'.
Also note The PP/DS planning time fence is considered during the SNP heuristic run.
