Factory calender change in Production - Urgent !!!!

Hi,
I have a question about transporting the SAP calendar from Dev to PRD. I created a new factory calendar in DEV and want to transport it to QA and PRD. When I select the transport button I get a message saying that all calendars will first be deleted and then replaced.
1) The first question is "is there any way to transport just the calendar I created or do I have to transport them all?".
2) The second question is " If I have to transport all the calendars how does this affect the current applications and jobs that are scheduled using the calendars, will these jobs have to be reschedule using the new calendars or will the jobs be OK and get the calendar information at the time they run. Again I only created one new calendar all
the other calendars should be the same.
Thanks
Best Regards'

Hi,
The Calender which you have created in SCAL is not Client Specific. If you change anything. Each change takes effect directly in all clients.
You cannot transport the calender directly to another client.
Communicate with abaper & Fico guys before you do this.

Factory Calender for New Product

Dear Experts,
Pls guide me through this, there is one plant running 5 days a week for product A and there is an other product B should actually start for other two days on the same week, and after two months i have to incorporate product B along with A simultaneously, which results both the products getting manufactured through out the week.
How do i set factory calendar for this requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Arun.

Hello Arun
I suggest you to use time-phased planning with a periodic lot sizing procedure (e.g. PK) and define a different planning calendar for each material. The planning calendar can be created on transaction MD25.
For the first calendar, you should defined the 5 days where product A will be produced and assign it to material A. The second planning calendar will be created for the 2 days where product B is produced and assigned to material B.
When this is not necessary anymore, simply remove the periodic lot sizing procedure.
Check this document for a detailed guide to set up time-phased planning:

Prasanth,
the calenders are maintained in the source system and not in BW - if you have to change the calendar coming into BW - do the needful change for the related transaction in the source system.

Change of factory calender

Hi All,
I have come across a scenario wherein the factory calender are different in the plant and the shipping point. If i change the calender of shipping point on PRD what will be the implications of this ? What all aspects do i need to watch out for ? There is a PP integration in this plant too.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

hello again.
since calendars are cross client, prashant has a point. apparently it wouldn't make a difference whether you do this is PRD or DEV. you will see the changes in any environment within the global setting.
thanks for the correction.
regards.
p.s.
but shouldn't the assignment of the calendar to the shipping pt be done in DEV?

How to copy changes to Productive client? URGENT!

SAP has a note related to the payroll module which we had to apply to Client 000. We were able to use SCC1 to copy from Client 000 to Client 200 in our QA environment.
However in Production we are unable to use the same method due to our SCC4 settings.
SAP revert that we cannot use SCC1 in Production and that we should identify the changes and tie to table changes to a transport request and transport to Production.
Can anybody please advise what is the best way to copy the changes to Productive client?
Thank you.

Hi,
If that Org is with in the Parent Org unit, you can do.
Good Luck

Consideration of factory calender in threshold values

Hi,
I need to consider the factory calender in the threshold values to check the due date of a task or a checklist item.
For example:
The task/or checklist item is due in 11 days (and the factory calender should be condsidered)
Does anybody know how to implement these checks in the threshold values of cprojects?
Thanks for your help!
Isabella

Dear Friend,
Ideally you should not change anything on Production server directly.
The normal & universally acceptable way is to transport the changes from Development or Quality to Production.
Still if you want to make changes on Production Server Directly (which even i dont recomend) you need to make Production Server in change mode thru T-Codes SCC4 & SE03 & make necessary changes.
Let me know if you need to know how to use T-Codes SCC4 & SE03.
Thanks,

Transport for SCAL 'factory calender' or administer SCAL in prod system?

Hi togehther,
we could change the factory calender in the development system and afterwords transport this changes by using a transport request and STMS.
But our Consultants recommend not to transport these changes. They recommend to open the prod System with SCC4 to open status (Changes are allowed) and then make the changes in the prod system.
I think, this is the wrong way. How do you solve this probem?

Teamlead SAP-Basis

Hi ,
You are consultants are right because SAP clear tells that "You cannot transport individual public holidays or calendars. You can only transport calendar data in its entirety. When you do this, all public holidays, public holiday and factory calendars existing in the target system are deleted".
As from your mail i understood that in development system,all users have access to to SCAL transaction,if some users have craeted or changed the factory calendar changes.all this changes get in to trnsport request which in turn affect the calendars in production system.
Thats Y in some industries,Consultants will do the changes through fire fighter ID directly in production or in some industries for development system SCAL authorization will not be given to all.so that as Juregn pointed development and production system will be in SYnc and you can do transport.
In this situation you can try one more option,after generating the transport request go to SE01 ,go to change mode and edit the request (double click on the request).
then go to obects tab you will see lot of tables related to factory calendar.check each tables in SE16 for the calendar you made the changes.if entries are there retain the table else delete the table.
If entries are there,then double click on the table,you will get the table key.in that put calendar id if there is only one entry,if more entries are ther e put calendar id suffix star.and save.
Check this solution first intest system and ensure whether it is trnsaporting only the particular changes

Dear
Based on your business requirement , you should have the following set up :
1.One Factory Calender with Work Days Monday-to-Friday Let say FC1 .This will be used on all the organisational level starting from Materials Planning to Sales .But will not be assinge to Capacity Requirement Planning Purpose or Any Production Activity in Work Centre .
2.You should have one more Factory Calander with work Days Monday to Monday ( 7 days week ) with some special rule like Plan Shutdown Days , Breakdown Maintainnece etc and this should be assinged to all the work centres -CR02-Capacity Tab -Capacity Header -Factory Calader ID -Let say it is FC2.
You need to ceate Calander in OP03/SCAL .It does nto have any transport and it will be a Cleinet level changes which requires proper approval .Please rememeber , you need to assing only FC1 to Plant assingement in OP03 where as FC2 will be asisnged only in Work Centre level .
Steps : Goto -OP03
1.Identify all those Public Holidays frist with Fixed or moveable as per business requirement
2.Goto Holiday Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Add all those holidays as per Public holidays as applicable in your business with proper valididty and finally SAVE
3.Goto Factory Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Asisng Hioliday Calander . In case of FC2-Work centre Calander , here you can hit the Special Rules .Include Special Activity like Plan Shut down of factory with Validity etc and SAVE .
4.Come back to OP03 main screen -Assing the factory Calender in plant .
5.Goto -CR02-Capacity -Capacity Header -Available Capacity Header -Factory Calander-Assing FC2
I do not think you should have planning calander seperately if you do not have any specific reason .
Hope it helps

Menu path for factory calender. SCAL tcode

Dear all,
Please let me know the menu path for factory calender. SCAL tcode

Madhava
I cannot comment on Raghavendra's company's business policies.
User menus are user specific. SAP menu is generic (by default).
My personal opinion is that everyone should have full access to every branch of the standard SAP Easy Access menu. If you wish to prevent users from accessing certain transactions, it should be handled through standard auth objects, and not by 'hiding' branches of the SAP menu.
In most production systems, config change is locked down. Therefore, regardless of authorization, SCAL is only effective to VIEW calendars, and not CHANGE them in production. Pretty harmless, as far as I am concerned.
If your company wishes to add SCAL to a particular menu path, this can be done. In my company, this type of change is handled by developers.

Factory calender for Shipping Point

Dear,
if we change the Factory calender for Existing shipping point, Can i know what are the provlems will face??
Thanks in adv.

You can do this by using tcode:OVXD ( Define Shipping Point) -Initial step to create Shipping Point in Enterprise structure.
Select your shipping Point & Click on Details button - you will find Factory Calender field.
It will have impact on following:
- confirmation dates of Qty(Lead time)
- Need to check Public holidays.
- Confirmation Date on sales document items, may get re-calculated as the shipping point may have less/more days now to do backward/forward scheduling
- If you are on a MTO environment, the start/finish date of the manufacturing order may change, as now you may have more/less days than previously estimated
-The MRP demand may change, now requesting certain product to be available (material Availability Date) either earlier or later
-Your "Route" (Transit Time) may be off and if you have any "D" Incoterms that drive revenue recognition at different times after PGI, then they may be off now that the date is different.
One suggestion. Copy your client to a temporary sand box client, then do the change there and then try to ship some orders on the date that is/was marked as a holiday, also change some sales orders (anything that will re-trigger the scheduling like quantity or delivery date) and take a look not only to the sales document, but to the manufacturing order as well as get the MRP folks to be aware of the impact on their side . Having the compare client, you will be able to see what happen in your production system vs. how it behaves on your new sandbox with the new calendar.
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards
