In planning strategy 70, from what point are the 12 days of consumption counted backwards?

In planning strategy 70, which is used for make-to-order production in SAP, the 12 days of consumption are counted backwards from the dependent requirement date of the material.

This is because planning strategy 70 focuses on synchronizing the production of materials with specific customer orders. The dependent requirement date refers to the date when the material needs to be available for production to meet the customer demand. By counting backwards from this date, planners can determine when the material needs to be consumed to ensure that production takes place without delays. This approach allows for effective planning of materials and resources, keeping in mind the lead times necessary for procurement and manufacturing processes.

Other options refer to points in the planning process that do not align specifically with the consumption timeline in this strategy. The availability date of the finished good and the requested delivery date pertain to the logistics and availability aspects rather than the direct link between consumption and order fulfillment. Similarly, the planned independent requirement date might represent future demands but does not directly influence the backward calculation for resource consumption required to fulfill the specific dependent requirements associated with make-to-order scenarios.
