Automatic creation of PR - at reorder point

Hi all,
My requirement is to create an automatic PR when the reorder point is reached.
could nay one pls advise me how to go about it.
Thanks N Regards
Aruna...

Hi,
System can not create automatic PR even though you have defined reorder point planning.
When you run MD01 for your plant, which are all materials stock below reorder point system will create PR.

Automatic reorder point planning

Hi Gurus,
Cud somebody guide me on the Basic settings required for AUTOMATIC REORDER POINT PLANNING'VM',Including SPRO settings.I cudnt find an answer for this from previous FORUMs.
Kindly give me u r suggestions or aslo suggest some good links for PP documents or links concerning with Automatic reorder point planning and its settings.

hi HKR
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.

Automatic reorder point planning -forecast view

Hi
Our client want to implement automatic reorder point Planning.
Reorder point quantity was maitained from last 3 years but MRP type is 'ND' as they are not using MRP.
Now i am changing MRP type to:VM and in forecastting view: i maintained model as:D constant model period indicator:M
His periods:60 , forecast periods:12 initialization:X tracking limit:4000 selection procedure:2 reset automatically
Is it ok ? than can i run MP30. and the client wants to run for many materils(2000).
How can be run for many materials.?

Dear,
In automatic re-order oint planning , system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified in MRP2 view, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
From MP30 you have to executed forecast and system has generated forecast values and updated safety stock and reorder point also. Only thing to remember is you have to maintain service level in MRP 2 view of material master when you use VM- MRP type to calculate safety stock and reorder point
Find bleow the set up following set up for automatic re-order point planning :
1.Material Master Set up : Maintain all the relevent parameters from MRP1 to MRP4 view , Forecasting View
1.MRP Type -VM , Lot Size -EX
2.Procurement Type -E for FG and F for ROH
3.Planning Startegy -10 or 40 in FG/SFG and 20 for componenet
4.Planned Delivery Time in MRP2 VIEW
5.Indiviaul/Collective Indicator - 1/2 based on your requirement in MRP4 View
6.BOM Explosion -Keep it blank
7.Service level percentage -MRP2 view
8.Maintain Forecastin view data like model selection , Histry period , period indicator , Forecast control pramaters ,
10.Make sure that you have min 12-8 monhts total consumption update in Forecasting view .
Configuration : InSPRO -MRP -Check MRP Type -VM-check the details like Re-Orde point .Safety Stock both the automatic calcvualtion box are marked .
Finally as a sample test , select any material -mm02-execute forecast in mm02-forecasting view -exectute forecast -then save .Run MRP in MD03-1,1,3,3,1.NETCH indicator and check the result in MD04
HOPE IT WILL HELP. PLEASE REVERT BACK.

Automatic reorder point calculation

I would like to confirm the formula for calculating a reorder point in SAP.
As I understand it, the simple formula is safety stock + average requirements * lead time.
I have the following settings for a material:
MRP Type - V2
Lot size - HB
Maximum stock level - 500
Total lead days (including GR processing) - 30
Service Level - 98%
Procurement type - F
Historical periods - 2
Forecast periods - 2
Period Indicator - M
Forecast Model - G (Moving average)
Consumption values - 12/2010 - 160
11/2010 - 190
When I execute the forecast run, the get the following result:
Basic Value - 175
MAD - 15
Safety Stock - 39
Reorder point - 219
If the formula for calculating reorder point is - 39 (safety stock) + 175 (average requirement) * (30(lead time)/30(forecast period in days), then the reorder point should be 214. Why does the system output 219?
I read somewhere that a SAP note exists for correcting the calculation, can anyone confirm?
Many thanks.

Dear
Automatic calculation of reorder point RP : The reorder point will be calculated with following formula :
RP = average consumption during LT + SS
SS = R x Sq root ( ( LT(d) x 7 ) / FCperiod(d) x 5 ) x MAD
In your case , ROP will be calulated as per your consumption for November with 20 days having consumption of 190/m and December for 10 days having consumption of 160 /month
So Reorder Qty = 190(20/30)+160(10/30)+39 =219
Refer our earlier posting on the same : Detail the safety stock calculation

Automatic Purchase Requisition using Reorder Point without MRP Run

Dear Freinds,
My client wants Purchase Requisition should be automatically created as soon as the stock falls below reorder level without MRP run.
Is this possible? if possible then what are the settings required.
Thanks
Prashant Atri

Dear,
It is not possible in standard SAP.
What is the problem to take MRP run?
You can take the MRP run in background through MDBT so system will create automatic Purchase Requisition using Reorder Point.
Hope clear to you.

Re: Automatic Reorder point Planning for Finished Goods

Hi All,
I have some doubts regrading the Automatic Reorder point Planning for Finished Goods.
For testing purpose I have entered the consumption values for two month.
Say :
Nov-08=13
Dec-08=20
ROL level=5
Safety stock =4
Model =constant
Now when I execute the forecasting,The system gives me the forcast for the next two month jan & Feb.
But when I run the MRP I see planned order for 5.So how to fulfill my forecast for jan?
Please Advice.

Difference :Automatic Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based palning ?

Dear MM Guru's,
As we See in throtical Concepts that
Automatic Reorder point planning and Forcast Based Planning Used the prevuious Historical Data.
Please explain what is difference Between them.
regards,
A. S.

Hi,
Reorder Point Planning: -
Use: -
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
Features: -
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
- Safety stock
- Average consumption
- Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
- Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
- Vendor/production delivery timelines
- Service level to be achieved
- Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
Forecast-Based Planning: -
Use: -
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features: -
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
- Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
- Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
- Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
Example: -
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements.

Automatic reorder point and safety stock caluclation- MRP type:V2

Hi,
I want the system to calculate reorder point and safety stock. To simulate this i created one material with
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as 100 nos in material master.
04.2009     100
03.2009     100
02.2009     100
01.2009     100
12.2008     100
11.2008     100
10.2008     100
09.2008     100
08.2008     100
07.2008     100
06.2008     100
05.2008      100
Then I went to MP30 and executed the forcase.When I checkd the material master the system has calculated the reorder point as 14 nos. But there is no value updated in safety stock field.
Now I have two questions.
1) How the system has arrived the reorder point value as 14 nos.
2) Why there is no safety stock updated in material master.
Could u please clarify this.
Thanks and Regards
Purushothaman

Hi,
This is further to my preivous mail. I have changed the consumption values and now i am getting the safety stock.
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as.
04.2009     100
03.2009     80
02.2009     110
01.2009     85
12.2008     90
11.2008     95
10.2008     125
09.2008     90
08.2008     90
07.2008     92
06.2008     101
05.2008     100
After executing the forecase the sytem has calculated the below parameter.
Basic value:95.759
MAD:11.448
Safety stock:10.252
Reorder point:23.658.
Can anyone explain me how these calculation arrived.
Thanks and regards

Automatically creation of Purchase Order from MRP

Material type = ROH (raw material)
In MRP1 I have mentioned
1. RP type =VB ( manual reorder point planning)
2.Reorder point = 1000
3.Lot size =FX (fixed order quantity)
4. Fixed lot size = 300
In purchasing I have checked the automatic P.O. option
I have created a source list for the material and fixed the vendor for the material
Quantiy of the material in stock = 0
But Purchase Order is nor automatically generated during the MRP run ( MD03)
IS there any step missing ? please suggest if any .
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
As others suggested standrad SAP will not create PO as output of MRP.
You need to check why you need AUTO FUNCTION.however you can use T code ME59n to create auto PO from Preqs.
About AUTO PO
One example is that while taking delivery of the raw materials which are delivered by trucks and since it is not possible to capture the actual receipted quantity at the time of PO creation.
To create AUTO PO
Check in customizing whether you have maintained creation of automatic PO during good receipt.
Menu path : MM -> Inventory Management -> Goods Receipt -> Create Purchase order Automatically -> Activate Auto PO creation for Mvt type and then activate Auto PO creation in vendor master.
Hope this helps.

Define Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HUs

We are using full blown HU management and in the customizing for the Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HU's you define the packaging materials to use. The help in from of this customizing says that if this is blank the system attempts to find a common packaging material for all materials in the transfer order.
My issue is that when I leave this blank the packaging material that the system proposes is not the packaging material that is contained on the source HU nor is it the packaging material that is contained in the Packing Instructions.
How does the system determine the packaging material on the destination HU? Am I required to maintain a value in this customizing?
Thanks
Nick

I found my own answer so i will give myself many points. See question to get answer.

Automatic creation of Service Arrangements in SAP CRM 2007

Dear all
we're using SAP CRM Resource Planning with HCM integration, so get the Employee Master and requried Availability Info Types replicated from HCM via ALE.
Unfortunately, between the creation of an Employee and the Time Distribution, a Service Arrangement must be created manually. As both the HCM-side steps are executed automatically as background job, we are trying to find a way to also create Service Arrangements automatically. We do not need to maintain any data other than ID and Name for the Service Arrangement in the first place.
Can you point me to a way to do this - eventually a function module that would be available for this purpose?
Many thanks in advance!

Automatic creation of debit or credit memo

Hi All,
I have a requirement of automatic creation of credit note with reference to sales order when i click save at transaction VF01 after generating billing document against delivery number.
I used the include ZXVVFU08 it is triggered when the save button is pressed in VF01. i have wriiten BDC code in this include. At the point when i click save, the billing number is getting generated but credit memo is not getting generate.It is giving an error 'No billing documents were generated'
How do i ensure that the invoice number is already saved before the BDC starts?
Need help. Thank you!

Dear seetharamsapsd ,
Create a new document type for both credit memo and debit memo requests.
Copy control to the respective credit memo and debit memo should be there.
Pricing procedure should contain provision to map the difference amount.
Create a Z program recording a BDC for the creation of Debit and credit memo request.
It is better to keep have only one Z program.
In the program write a logic to check the price change comparing the values of previous month created orders and
this months condition record values.
Based on whether there is increase or decrease , system should run the respective BDC for the debit or credit memo request.
This program can be set in background maybe at midnight.
Also save VF04 as a background job (so that the debit / credit memos as also created automatically)
Set this VF04 background job to run after say 1 or 2 hours from the time our Z program is running.
I hope you know the different tables/fields from where you can get the desired condition to run the program.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal K Charles

Automatic creation of billing from VF04

Hi all,
i want to automate creation of billing document for all the deliveries for which PGI done.
i think we have to define a job which will call VF04.
my question is when we do VF04 manually, we have to give selection criteria like sales org etc and then it displays the list of all the deliveries and then we have to select the deliveries manually and press collective billing/individual billing.
so when the batch job calls the VF04, how will the batch job tells VF04 to select all deliveries and generate the invoices.
regards
sachin

Hi there,
When you schedule a job, there is something called variants that you maintain for each prog in the job. The variants wiol take care of all the entries that we manually do in VF04. In the variants you will mention the shipping points, sales org, dates etc.
In SM37,search the relevant job, select the job & click on steps. It will display the progs of the job. Next to the progs you will find the variants. Select the prog in the step & display variants. It will display the variants will all the selection options.

Lot quantity to order for a material set as reorder point planning

Dear All,
Suppose the requirements of a material are as follows:
Week1 Required quantity - 100
Week2 required quantity - 150
Week3 required quantity - 300
Week4 required quantity - 500
This material is set as "VB" (Reorder point planning in the material master)
My questions is:
Can we use periodic lot sizing procedure for a material planned based on reorder point planning , so that MRP run will consider the requirements of a month (1050) and use that as the lot size to order material.
We want to plan the material if it falls below the reorder level, but we want the system to dynamically calculate the quantity to order based on the actual demand (and not on either fixed lot size or maxmimum stock level).
with regrds
Laxmipathi.G.V

Hi
Use Anyone of the following
1. Use automatic reorder point with forecast planning requirment.Where ssytem will calculate reorder point automatically based on weekly /monthly Forecast req.In this case Lot size you can use EX itself.
2. Use Planning type PD and lot size EX and Instaed of ROL use safety stock so that system will consider weekly sale req. and also safety stock according to that procerement proposal will be created.
