| # Demand pegging example This topic gives an example of how a specification is transferred between business objects in the subcontracting process at the subcontractor’s site. Item S The subcontractor starts by creating a subcontracting sales order for item S for which inventory must be allocated. For the sales order, a production order is planned in Enterprise Planning and created in Shop Floor Control. The sales order has a specification that is propagated to the production order. Items H, C1, C2, and C3 are in the bill of material for item S. The Demand Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session determines if and how the specification is further propagated from the production order to the production order estimated material lines. The manufacturer is identified as sold-to business partner MFG1 in the subcontractor’s system. Item H Item H is a subassembly item of the manufacturer and therefore delivered by the manufacturer. The Demand Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is set to Inherit Using Terms and Conditions. This means that for item H , ERP Enterprise checks the terms and conditions agreement to determine which specification attributes must be propagated. Item H is planned by the manufacturer on an order basis. To uniquely identify H, the subcontractor receives the reference ”SFC0001/20” from the manufacturer. For item S, this reference is stored in the Allocated to Reference field on the sales order. The specification on the purchase order also contains the reference “SFC0001/20” for item H. Components C1 and C2 Items C1 and C2 are components that are planned and delivered by the manufacturer. The Demand Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is set to Inherit Using Terms and Conditions for items C1 and C2. This means that ERP Enterprise checks the terms and conditions agreement to determine which specification attributes must be propagated to the estimated material lines for the items. C1 and C2 are supplied by the manufacturer on a bulk basis. The purchase orders for C1 and C2 have a specification that contains the business partner MFG1. C1 and C2 are allocated to this manufacturer. Component C3 Item C3 is a component that is planned by the subcontractor. The Demand Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is set to Inherit Demand Peg for item C3. This means that the specification from the production order is propagated one-to-one to the estimated material line for C3. In an order planning run in Enterprise Planning, a purchase order is created by the subcontractor. The specification is propagated from the sales order to the purchase order. Demand pegging data H, C1, C2, and C3 must be issued to the production order PRD001. This is only possible if the specifications on the estimated material lines equal the specifications in inventory. In other words, the specifications on the supply side must equal the specifications on the demand side. The following tables display the specification data for the production order, sales order, and purchase orders. The warehouse orders and planning orders are not mentioned, but the specifications on the warehouse orders are derived from the originating orders.
