Alternate routings in 11i

If an item has multiple routings will MRP take in account all of
them for planning purposes and pick the optimal one for that
point in time? If yes...what if a job has been released and
somewhere through the process the plan is regenerated will MRP
pick up on an alternate routing if one exists that will be more
efficient to run? Thanks in advance.

Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP only considers the primary routing, or manually assigned alternate routings in discrete jobs (status UNRELEASED). Only Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning can pick the most optimal routing.

How to get the workcentres used in the routing out of 2 alternate routings

Dear All,
I would like to know how to get the workcentres used in the routing out of 2 alternate routings.
I referred PLKO got the Task List Type (PLNTY), Group(PLNNR), Group Counter(PLNAL), Plant(werks).
I passed this in to PLPO, The problem in PLPO is we dont have the distinguishing field Group Counter(PLNAL), so I am getting all the ARBID including both alternates.
How to get the ARBID with respect to Groupcounter 1 alone.
If a get the ARBID , I can get the ARBPL from CRHD.

HI,
Use PLAS Table also. you have to use PLKO> PLAS> PLPO.
Pass PLNNR & PLNAL in PLAS and get PLNNR & PLNKN.
Then pass these into PLPO.
work centers from CRHD

Alternate Routings

hi
How the alternate routings are created ,
By going sequence view in Routing ,there I have to select alternate sequence am I correct ,
Alternate sequence is same as Alternate Routing
Is there any other way to create Alternate Routing?
Thanx in advance

Hi Karthik,
Alternate sequence is different from alternate routings
If you wnat to create alternate routing just enter into ca01 tcode
enter material/plant/group no & proceed further as you normally do
You can find the unique value against group counter for each routing,whereas group no will remain the same
Alternate sequence is just to differ from the standard sequence in the same routing
pls find belwo the details of alternative seq from sap help
You use an alternative sequence for example, if
The production flow is different for certain lot-size ranges
For instance you can machine a work piece on conventional machine or on NC machines. A NC machine has a longer set-up time than a conventional machine. However the machining costs are considerably less. Therefore whether you use NC machines will depend on the lot size.
The production flow changes under certain business conditions.
For instance, if you have a capacity problem, you have some production steps performed externally by a vendor.
Hope this is useful

Alternate table of AP_INVOICE_LINES_ALL in 11i

hi 2 all
I have developed Supplier Statement of Account report in oracle apps r12 and use AP_INVOICE_LINES_ALL table.
it running fine in R12 , but when i run in 11i , compiler raised error on AP_INVOICE_LINES_ALL table , b/c this table is not
available in 11i , so plz guide me what is alternate table in 11i ?
Thanks
Zulqarnain

Hi,
There is no equivalent table of ap_invoice_lines_all of R12 in 11i, this is a new feature/ table structure only in R12. The main table in 11i for AP invoice is ap_invoices_all -> ap_invoice_distributions_all, while in R12 it is ap_invoices_all -> ap_invoice_lines_all -> ap_invoice_distributions_all. The information of the ap_invoice_lines_all in R12 should be available in ap_invoice_distributions_all in 11i.
For the prepayment, you should be able to get it by using ap_invoice_distributions_all.prepay_distribution_id
Hope this helps.

Selection Of BOM & Routing at the time of production order creation

Hi guys,
Please clarify how i can go about for the following mentioned scenario
I have one Master BOM(Finished Product Level) & alternative BOMs for that,similarly i have one Master Routing & alternate routings for the same finished product
At the time of production order creation is it possible for me to choose one of the BOMs & One of the routings of that particular finished product without creating a production version?
Awaiting for a quick response
Vijai

Hi vijai prasad shanmugam ,
In the material master MRP-4 view under the BOM selection you can maintain on what fatcors you want the BOM to be selected Viz. Selection by order quant.,Selection by explosion date.Selection by production version etc.
As far as the master recipe is concerned ........ I guess that if there are more than one valid master recipe maintained then SAP will prompt to select the one manually.........
But it the standard practice to maintain the production version ....... for the similar situation to the one that you have mentioned.
Please Let me know if I can help you in any way regarding this........
Please reward the points......... in you find the ans helpful.....
Thanks

PP-Backflushing not posting to correct work centers

Hello everyone,
We are having an issue performing a backflush using an alternate production versions. We have created multiple versions for materials that point to a alternate routings and when we choose the alternate version during backflush, it shows the alternate work center(as expected), but in the background it uses the primary work center. We have set up PCC's with a preliminary cost for the alternates but during the MFBF it does not post to them. If during the MFBF I choose post with correction>actual activities>select operations to be changed>change the work center manually for each operation, then save, it will post correctly. The issue with doing this manually is that we are uaing SAP console with RF units and cannot expect our end users to know when to report on the RF unit or when to go directly into MFBF and perform these steps.
Thoughts anyone,
Please advise,
Thanks
Ray

Dear Raymond,
I have come across the same issue,
Please follow the following steps and revet back,if it does not
works.
Since therecan be only one valid standard cost estimate at a
time for a material,check out this.
1.Initially create master data (material master, BOM. Rate
Routing, Production Version, Product Cost Collector) and
assign REM profile say TT01.(For REM Profile TT01 ,in the
settings -indicator shud be set for Post Acitivities-Backflush
Using Standard Cost Estimate for material)
2.Execute costing run using CK40N.
3.Perform production confirmation using MFBF.
4.Create alternate BOM/Rate Routing when required.
5.Create new production version with new BOM-Rate Routing
combination.
6.Create Product Cost Collector for the new production version
and create preliminary product costing.
7.Change REM profile of material from TT01 To TT02 where in
the TT02 REM profile the setting for Post Activities Using Data
from Preleminary Costing For Product Cost Collector.
8.Specify the production version at the time of production
booking. The material consumption and activity booking will be
done corresponding to the production version specified.
I hope this will resolve your problem.
Please reply to this thread whether it works or not.

Change validity end date on activity type

Is there a way to change the validity end date of an activity typre. Currently it is 9999 we would like to change it to 2011.
We would like to use a particular activity to cost current standards but dont want to use it for planned estimates that we will create for 2011. I am assuming if the validity ends in 2011 it will resolve the problem. I know we could create alternate routings and different production version but I am trying to avoid that and see if we can find a short cut.
Your help in this regard will be much appreciated

Hey Greta,
I executed the report but it says ,"The deletion could not be carried out, plan records still exict on cost center for activity type." I have deleted every thing from kp26 for that particular combination of activity type and Cost center.
Any ideas as to what is happening!!

Alternative selection of routing in production orders

in routing there are 4 operations
operation   descriptions                                      work centre
0010        ONE SIDE CENTER GRINDING            A
0020        ROUGH MAJOR DIA.GRINDING            B
0030         FINISH MAJOR DIA. GRINDING            C
0040         ROUGH/FINISH THREAD GRINDING     D
operation 0020 & 0030 having alternate routing for for different work centre sayE & F resp.
now, i want solution/setting for automatic selection in the production order of alternate routing of E for B & similarly alternative of F for C resp.
if anser is not possible then please give other alternative
regards,
mangesh

H Mangesh,
In R/3 capacity of resources will not be checked while creating both planned order and production order. Thats why you have option of APO-PPDS for more accurate planning across plants with complete capacity check.
You should design your routing with approperaite work centers to carry out manufacturing tasks and with this lot size criteria only autmatic selection of work centers are possible.
Otherwise you have to do changes manually in production orders. For this create alternate routings and order dependent parameters checked the indicator "alternate routings are allowed".

PRT Usage - three work centers, 2 PRTs, how to make it work?

Good day. First time poster here. I've looked for help and can't seem to find an answer to my question.
I have three work centers, lets call them 1 2 and 3.
I have 2 cells, lets call them A and B.
Cell A can run parts from work center 2 and 3.
Cell B can run parts from work center 1 and 3.
So a matrix of possible combinations would look like:
Cell A Cell B
WC 2 part WC 1 part
WC 2 part WC 3 part
WC 3 part WC 1 part
How do I best set this up? I'm more of an end-user working with a developer, and I know what I want (above), but I have no idea if even this is easily accomplished.
I will be glad to assign points for helpful answer. Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
Create Routing (ca01) & then enter the operations.
Eg:Routing 1.
Cell A can run parts from work center 2 and 3.
Opr WC PRT to be assigned
10 WC2 Cell A
20 WC3 Cell A
Routing 2
Cell B can run parts from work center 1 and 3
Opr WC PRT to be assigned
10 WC1 Cell B
20 WC3 Cell B
For the combinations you can create alternate routings & then create a production version (t.code c223), then during production order creation you can choose the appropriate routing.
create PRT with material type FHMI with PRT view.

EBS 11i Disaster Recovery using tape backup on alternate Unix Server.

Hi,
I would really appreciate if you could please share with us what is the process to recovery EBS 11i environment to an alternate DR server using the latest tape backup in case any disaster happens to the existing production server.
I need to prepare and test disaster recovery plan document using the latest tape backups.
We have single node EBS 11i environment with Apps and DB installed on the same AIX Unix Server.
We also have full database RMAN backup every night.
The new alternate DR Unix server will have different hostname and IP address.
Thanks in advance.

ASCP Legacy Collections Dropping Routings with Alternate Resources

SR# 6793428.993, (11.5.10.2)
How can we load routings with alternate resources from a legacy instance without
dropping duplicate resources.
It appears that the last alternate routing is loaded - dropping all the other routings.
When uploading routings, through legacy collection, having alternate resources, 'duplicate' resources are dropped during ODS Load phase.
In staging data seems to be ok after Pre-Processing.
Standard collection with identical routing does not drop thee alternates.
Requirement is:
Item has one operation with four (4) scheduled resources A,B,C,D. There is alternate resource E for resource A. So we should have either combination A,B,C,D or E,B,C,D.
There can be multiple alternate resources for A
Customer has:
MSCCLPPB.pls 115.151.11510.4
The latest release is:
MSCCLPPB.pls 115.151.11510.17
The code performing the legacy collection is identical.

Partha,
Thanks for the response. What we want to achieve is to be able to run all these lines in parallel, which can certainly be done by using alternate resource. I've infact setup alternate resource for the below scenario but not able to get them running in parallel. Alternate resource will work only in case when primary resource doesn't have any capacity.
In this below case, ASCP was using 100% capacity for primary while for alternate resource it was suggesting to use anyone of them rather than equally divide the demand on them.
Let me know if you need more details but I couldn't find anyway to model this scenario in ASCP current configuration.
Thanks
Nikhil

Alternate BOMs and Routings

Hello Gurus,
I had a question. I have created Alternate BOMs and Routings for a Material. How through Configuration/or Material Master settings Can I control, as to when MRP derives result from Primary BOM/Routing or Alternative BOM/Routing.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
For BOM selection, system will check BOM selection method in material master of MRP4 view.
BOM selection by Lot size, Date, Production version & Only by prod version.
Addition to that BOM selection by Selection ID defined in plant parameter. This selection ID consists of BOM priority & Usage.
Manually you can not control BOM selection.
For routing selection, system will check Lot size. If lot size not matched with required qty, system avoid the lot size & consider the date.
In addition to that system will consider Task list type, priority, Usage & Status.
In Order type dependent parameter(OPL8), you can configure whether system should select routing automatically or manually.

Dharma

Inventory Module Upgrade from 11i to R12 - How to Copy Inventory Orgs.

Hi All,
We are working on R12 Upgrade project for Item Conversion.
Requirement is to upgrade and bring all the Item setup and data from 11i to R12.
As part of setup requirement, there are around 1900 Inventory Orgs in 11i instance. Please let me know what is the best approach / strategy to copy and bring over the 1900 Inventory Orgs.including the Master Org from 11i to R12.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance !
Regards,
Nityanand.

Reporting Set of Books (MRC) in 11i is called as Alternate Currency Ledgers (ALC Ledger) in R12.
After 11i upgrade, the reporting SOBs (MRCs) will be automatically changed to ALCs in R12.
Some are primary and some are used as reportingI hope you are talking about MRCs.
When we upgrade from 11i to r12, all the SOBs would be created as primary ledgers (as per oracle)If they are not MRCs and it is getting upgraded as primay ledger, you may create new ALC for your requirement.
In that case you may need a datafix from Oracle to fix the old data.

Queries regarding creating Web Services in Oracle EBS 11i[Workaround found]

Hi,
We have an E-Business Suite 11i installation(11.5.10.2). In our implementation we are using some of the public APIs to insert & update data in EBS tables. Earlier this was done by calling the required PL/SQL procedures through dblinks.
Now, we need to do the same by using Web Services. That is we need a Web Service which can be invoked from a different application(SAP) and the Web Service in turn will call the APIs.
I am new to Web Services/SOA and as far as I could understand from reading the documentation, we need the following:
1. Install Oracle 10g Application Server with BPEL Process Manager ONLY(Oracle AS Adapter will be installed as part of BPEL PM. The Oracle AS Adapter will connect 10gAS to EBS)
2. JDeveloper to create and deploy the BPEL process.
I have a few questions here:
1. Are the above two points the only prerequisites for what I want to achieve? Do I need to install anything else?
2. How do I expose the created Web Service? I mean how will the 3rd party application invoke this Web Service?
Answers and/or links to helpful documents awaited.
Regards,
-Sujoy
Found an alternate and more cost-effective solution. Turns out that the SAP PI/XI engine can use JDBC to connect to the Oracle DB. SAP PI/XI will host the Web Service and will internally access the API through a JDBC connection.

Hi Helios,
I had checked the note that you are referring to before posting here. It did provide me with a start but otherwise it wasn't a great help (also some of the links are broken) . Since I am quite new to this...I am not sure whether I am proceeding in the right direction. An example/tutorial is what would be pretty useful.
Thanks anyway!
