SAP Tips and Tricks

Issue: A BDC updating consumption values in material master using MM02, presuming that by default the screen shows total consumption. You can switch to unplanned consumption using the button. But for some materials the initial consumption value is unplanned instead of total. So for these materials unplanned consumption is updated instead of total consumption. Solution: A parameter Consumption indicator of Forecast ( V438A-PROVB ) in MRP type configuration (OMDQ), decides the default consumption data.

Material forecasts are stored in PROW table. But it is not indexed by material number. It is indexed by pointer. The link to PROW is through PROP through MAPR. MAPR-> Get POinter for forecast Parameters (PNUM1)-> Read PROP ->Get Pointer for forecast results (PNUM2)->Read PROW using PNUM2.
