Question: DDMRP explained.

Answer: DDMRP is the acronym for Demand-Driven material requirements planning (MRP), an approach to material control and replenishment that improves on the functionality of traditional MRP. Because DDMRP is demand driven, it is by definition more sensitive and responsive to the variations in demand and supply that can cause shortages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Review of the "pMRP" Fiori App:

Answer: in ECC, SAP introduced the LTP (Long Term Planning) for simulation planning run but it is limited to Infinite Capacity and an iterative process. With the new HANA engine, SAP in S/4HANA introduced "pMRP (Predictive MRP)", the FIORI App improve on the classic LTP function which helps to identify Capacity Issues and recommending Levelling to the in-active Planned Independent Requirement which subsequently can the Released as an active PIR. The APP can be used without activating "Advanced Planning".
See the example of a pMRP run below:

Question: Does S/4HANA support LEAN Service scenario in 3rd Party SD Sales Order?

Answer: a Search in help.sap.com do not find any documentation on LEAN Service application for 3rd Party Sales Order (search today). The found problem is that the validity start date and end date as required in the PR for LEAN Service cannot be found in the Sales Order item. The Error Message is "Message No. MM_PUR_REQN005". Unfortunately no relevant OSS Noted can be found for the Message related to 3rd Party Sales Order. 

There are also no known configuration or default value via configuration for the LEAN Service Start date and End date. 

Caution: unless I am unware of others possible configurations required to enable LEAN Service for 3rd Party Sales Order scenario. Hence, the possible solution for this requirement will be pending for future investigations. For now, this Q&A will be on "Pending Status" until further investigation. 

However, as below is the simulation of using Material with Material type "DIEN" for 3rd Party Sales Order scenario tested in S/4HAN2023 and the use case of "DIEN" Material type for Services in this case is supported in S/4HANA. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: 3rd Party SD Sales Order with classic Material type "DIEN". 

Answer: 3rd Party SD Sales Order with classic Material type "DIEN" was a widely used process in ECC and the following Blog Post is to demonstrate is this classic scenario can also be executed in S/4HANA (simulation in S/4HANA 2023):
