Purpose
This scenario shows a complete make to order business scenario for Long Products Planning (LPP) including sales order entry, production and scheduling, delivery and billing. Long products must be planned and produced on the basis of individual lengths and not on the basis of aggregated quantities. Physically long products cant be simply joined together. To cover requirements you can either produce them or (if allowed) you can cut longer supply elements. To cover a requirement of 1000 m you cant fulfill with 1000 pieces (each with 1 m) or any other valid combination. You can fulfill this requirement only by delivery of ONE length with 1000 m (within tolerances)

Main scenario: The scenario starts with creation of Sales order with 3 x 2000m cable length = 6000m total item quantity. The first length will be fulfilled by a batch on stock with 1 x 2050m, cause per individual length a length tolerance of plus 10 % is allowed. The second length will be fulfilled by cutting 1 x 2000m from a batch with 1 x 3000m. The 3rd length has to be produced. The production order with 1 x 2000m is created by converting the planned order. In production order the needed component batches are selected by batch determination. Before, you have to post goods receipt for the component batches. After posting goods receipt of finish product, the delivery is created. The APO had allocated the batch with 1 x 2050m, the batch with 1 x 3000m for cutting process and the 1 x 2000m which we produced. The cutting is done by function delivery dependent trading unit change (DTUC). After confirmation of cutting, a new batch number is automatically created and updated into batch split item of delivery.

Please check the stock situation with transaction MMBE. If you find some other batches with different length, this example data does not match. Each length between 2200 m (2000 + 10 % plus tolerance) and 4000 m is fine. As soon you enter 4000 m, no planned order is created, because you can cut 2 x 2000 m.
