Grouping of Production orders

In Assessment or distribution cycle, we have production orders as the receivers. Since the list of production orders can be huge for month, creating the group through menu Extras/ Create group is not practical. I also tried to make set for the prodcution orders. But then this is set is not taking in the Assessmement cycle or distribution cycle.
I am getting the error message like:
Set PRD1 may not be used
Message no. GS076
Diagnosis
In this transaction, only certain set classes are permitted: Order Groups. PRD1, however, belongs to set class Set.
System Response
The entry is rejected.
Procedure
Use a set from set class Order Groups.
Or do we have any other method of assigning the groups.
How to solve this.
Please help.

Kami

Hi Kamijha,
I think you will find that the follwing should work for your purpose:
Go to Transaction OKOV. Choose a name for your variant and hit "create".
Now you can define the orders you want to select in your cycle not only by numbers or number ranges, but dynamically by characteristics such as order type, release date, anything you want. I suggest selecting by order type and additionally any characteristic that you find allows you to determine if the production order was "active" in the current period. If you only select by order type, the cycle will take much longer. Restricing to "active" orders in the variant may make it necessary to adjust the variant once per month before running the cycle though.
The selection variant you create here can be used as order group in your cycle.
There is just one more little thing you need to know: When you created the selection variant in OKOV and you chose the name "NAME" there, in your cycle, you will have to input ".NAME" for the group.
The same is true when you want to use the selection variant created in OKOV for the selection for a report in the internal order info system: you always need to put a "." in front of the name you gave the selection variant when you created it.
I just ran a test run with a cycle like yours in our system and the production orders were successfully selected.

Is there a way to collectively VCAL and settle production orders?

I'm wondering if there is a way to collectively settle a group of production orders by copying a group of PO numbers. Please let me know if there is a better way to do this than by doing it individual through KKS2 and KO88. Thanks!

Hi Nalin,
The fresh receipts during planning run will be planned based on ATP categories & category groups which are defined under customisation. If we exclude stock on hand while calculating planned orders by removing the ATP category attached to it, fresh receipts will be planned excluding stock

Use Handling Units to group production orders?

Hello,
can I use Handling Units to group production orders together? We have a workcenter where all our orders go through and we'd like to group, say, the morning's orders in a single HU on which we could post a single transaction (batch?) instead of posting on each and every order.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Consumption acct of materia which issue to maint. ord. and production order

Hi all,
I have one problem with the cost report for maintenance orders.
I have one material code, such as we call A.
Mat. A is issued to production order and also maintenance order.
For production order, consumption account is 123
For maintenance order, consumption account is 456
I have defined new movement type for issuing to Maintenance order is ZB1
in OBYC:
      GBB - VRB --> 123
      ZB1 --> 456
So for accounting purpose, I can slit these consumption accounts
However, when I go to maintenance order cost reports, systems slit these cost into 2 line
Material A        Acct. Cons 123        Plan cost 100        Actual cost 0
Material   A        Acct. Cons 456       Plan cost 0            Actual cost 120
How can I group into 1 line ?
Edited by: Emily Nguyen on Jun 2, 2009 12:15 PM

Hi Emily
In OBYC you can configure GL accounts per valuation class.
You cannot configure Movement type wise. Each General modifier is linked with movement types.
We cannot give two consumption accounts for one valuation class in VBR.
Run your plan cost again.

Open TRs show in LL01 for Mvmt type 261, wrong SL on production order

Hi all,
I have the following issue
We have roughly 2000 open transfer requirements related to movement type 261 GI to order. They all show up as critical processes in LL01 (Warehouse Activity Monitor)
I have looked at the production orders being created and some of the components in those production orders show the wrong storage locations, which I am almost sure is the reason for the stranded TRs
But I cannot seem to find out where that list of wrong storage locations is getting populated from!! I have checked the material master and the storage types where these materials are stored in WM. In all these places the storage location is correct. Yet in the production orders some components show the right SL and some don't..
Does anyone know what could be the reason?

Hi,
What i have understood is Open requirement has created for wrong storage location which u donot trace.
U can see the that incorrect storage location at Component Overview of Production order.
The possible area from which the issue storage location can flow.
1.Issue storage location defined for Bom components at Header Material Bom.
2. if header material has production version , check wirh issue storage location at Pv.
3. Default supply area defined at workcenter related that component.
4.stock determination Group at MRP view.
i hope this will help u to fix your problem

Adding Labour charge to an open Production order

Hi,
How do I add a labour charge (for time spent on the job) to an open production order created in CO01?

Thanks.

Why user can not open Production Order form with readonly privilege?

hi guys,
today I got a problem when I assign the minimize privilege for a new user.
the user only want to query status about Production Order, so I assigned the privilege with readonly on Production Order, and disabled all others.
But when user logged on, and click on the 'Menu -> Production -> Production Order', there pops up an error message said 'To generate the document, first define the numbering series in the Administration module'.
Do I have to find some other privileges to assign for the user account?
thanks for your help.

Thanks.

Confirmation of production orders with several operations

Hello,
I am using transaction CO11 in order to perform confirmation of Production orders that has 3 operations...
with this transaction, I have to enter 3 times the transaction for each operation...
could you please tell me a transaction where I can make the confirmation for all operations in one step ? ( a kind of screen where I can access all operations and manage the hours and quantities before saving.)
thanks and regards

Dear,
How many such orders would you come across everyday for the confirmation to happen?
Does the operation sequence remain the same across all the orders?
Then,i would like to suggest a method,Im not sure how it can be adopted to your scenario
Try this!!
We can group all the production orders on daily basis or in shift basis in a EXCEL spreadsheet.
Through a BDC,we can migrate the information on a daily basis to SAP.

Issue with production order linked to quote instead of sales order

Hi Gurus,
I did a lot of digging through SAP notes and accross the internet. Before I contact SAP, just wanted to give a shot @ SDN. Please help.
Background- for ATO (VC assemble to Order):
i) Created a quote
ii) Created a sales order with reference to a quote
iii) MRP created a planned order and the planned order is linked to the quote
iV) Production order created and it is also linked to a quote
v) All reports, MD04/COOIS shows that the plnd order/prd order is linked to the quote
My issue - print a shop paper or a customer specific product ID label....guess what 'it prints the quote number everywhere'.
Everything is tied to a quote - which is not a real demand. All purchase orders are tied to the quote. THIS IS STUPID.
I refered to SAP Notes - 181685 and 459734. But I need details of what config settings I should do and where?
I'm a pure PP guy, getting into SD requirement type & account assignement settings. Please help me with details.
http://scn.sap.com/message/8018953#8018953
This guy also had the same problem and his issue was never resolved.
Thanks,

Hello
Take a look on the following note where this scenario is described:
16658 - Generate sales order stock based on quotation
The note proposes the following setting as a workaround to this issue:
"As of 3.0, when the requirements type is assigned to the transaction
during requirements type determination, it is possible to assign a
requirements type to the quotation that does not represent make-to-order
production."
Therefore, please check your customizing settings and make sure that a requirement class/type (transactions OVZG and OVZI) without MTO is assigned to the quotation item category (transaction OVZI).
On transaction OVZI, there is a field called "Origin of requirement type in requirement type determination". Please take a look on the information provided on the F1 help of this field:
========================================================================
Origin of requirement type in requirement type determination
In the standard release, the requirements type is determined according
to a certain search strategy depending on the strategy group of the
material.
In this field you can select an alternative search strategy (source):
Source 0 = Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type
Source 1 = Item type and MRP type strategy
Source 2 = Item type and MRP type strategy (as for source 1) with
additional check of the allowed requirements type
========================================================================
Therefore, my suggestion is to set this field to 1 for the quotation item category and assign an MTS requirement type on OVZI.

Duplicate production order due to sales order on credit block

Dear Experts !
Need feedback on the following scenario:
- Sales order is entered for material which is produced in-house specific to the sales order (ie customer's logo is on product).
- Schedule line in sales order creates a production order specific to the sales order.
- Customer runs into credit check a few days later and consequently the schedule line in the sales order is removed due to credit block, however the linked production order still remains and is produced by factory.
- Sales order is released from credit check and a new schedule line is created resulting in another production order being released.
Any ideas on how to prevent duplication of production order?
Thanks in advance!
-Alvin

Hello,
Apologies for the confusion, let me explain it a bit more.
- Sales order is entered for material with planning strategy group of make-to-order, the schedule line initiates new production order for make-to-order material.
- A few days later - the customer goes over credit limit or has overdue invoices, etc..
- During background rescheduling (or any sales order change) the sales order gets a credit block due to static check.
- Sales order block deleted schedule line in sales order, however the production order remains active.
- Once the sales order is released from credit block, a new schedule line is created which initiates a new production order.
- Duplicate production order is now being made in shop floor.
I hope the above explains my scnario a little clearer.
Thanks and regards,
Alvin

Automatic production order creation for remaining sales order quantity

Hi All,
My requirement is to create automatic production order for a particular material when the available quantity ( Stock in MD04) is less than the sales order / Delivery quantity.Automatic production order should only be created for deficit quantity.
For example if i have stock of material A 100. I have recieved a sales order for 120 pieces. Now automatic production order should be created for 20 pieces only.
Any inputs/ suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks in advance !!
regards
Pawan.

Hi Pawan
In Material Master MM01 / MM02, you need to maintain 20 in MRP3 --> Planning --> Strategy Group.
If you maintain this, items can be produced only against sale order you are creating.
Dont forget to reward if this helps you.

Automatic production order creation and confirmation

Dear all,
I am in a situation where i have to configure the SAP system in the following ways:
1. From the planned orders automatically production order should be created today for the next day production and the end user will re-declare the quantity if there are any changes in the production order.
2. If there are no re declarations to be done SAP should automatically release production order and save it.
3. After the goods are produced the confirmation of the order should happen automatically from the measuring points.
4. In the order confirmation, the storage location for goods issue should be automatically captured from the goods issue slip.
5.After the confirmation of the order the goods receipt should happen automatically.
Please suggest me whether these are possible in SAP or not. If yes please tell me the procedure.

HI,
I hope this will give you the clear picture
actually my scenario is:
Finished good= x
work centers involved = WC1, WC2.
HERE BOTH THE WORK CENTERS ARE IDENTICAL, INPUTS ARE SAME AND OUTPUT IS THE FINISHED GOOD "X" FOR BOTH THE WORK CENTERS.
I HAVE A ROUTING FOR THE FINISHED GOOD "X" WITH TWO GROUP COUNTERS AS (1)WC1 AND (2) WC2
When i create plan in md61 for 1 month and when i do mrp run in md02 it will create the planned orders and we can see the stock requirements in md04 and when we double click on the planned order we can convert them into production orders.
But my users requirement is, he want to run the mrp in md01 and after that automatically each day the production order should be created.
example with the above work centers and materials:-
i have done the mrp run for "x" for November and December months
i want to produce "x" of 200 kg on 30.11.2011.
so SAP should generate production order for WC1 AS 100KG AND WC2 AS 100KG on 29.11.2011 at 5 pm automatically and the user will release the order.
similar example:-
i have done the mrp run for "x" for November and December months
i want to produce "x" of 400 kg on 03.12.2011.
so SAP should generate production order FOR WC1 AS 200KG AND WC2 AS 200KG on 02.12.2011 at 5 pm automatically and the user will release the order.
Please suggest me how to do the configure settings for my users requirement.
Thanks,

Multiple production orders are generated for same requirement

hello guru's
For a MTO (make to Order) scenario, where the Material requirement quantities are generated from Sales Orders.
Ex: Sales Order created for 500 Qty.
I had run the MRP using MD03 with the following parameters
Processing key              NETCH      Net Change in Total Horizon
Create purchase req.     1                  Purchase requisitions in opening period
Delivery schedules       3                  Schedule lines
Create MRP list            1                  MRP list
Planning mode              1                  Adapt planning data (normal mode)
Scheduling                    1                  Determination of Basic Dates for Planned
System had generated Planned Orders for Qty 500 and these are converted to Production order for Qty 500 for which the Purchase Order for 500 are created.
Goods receipt of 480 has been made against the Purchase Order for the Ordered 500 Qty.
When I re-run the MD03 the system is generating the new Production Order Qty 0f 20 which is not supposed to be as this 20 Qty was already part of the existing Purchase Order and yet to be delivered .
Could you please explain me why this is happening?
regards

Dear,
MRP will consider the firmed PR for the completion date contained in the PR. If the requirements date is different, then MRP will create a new proposal (PR).
If you wish for MRP to RESCHEDULE the dates of existing firmed purchase reqs, instead of just creating new proposals, you have to set the Rescheduling horizon. OPPQ> Rescheduling (plant) or OPPR >Recheduling Horizon (MRP Groups). Start with a small horizon, Also check the tick mark for firm reciept there.
Are you getting any expection message in front of PR?
MRP will 'assume' rescheduling by configuration, by managing the rescheduling horizon, and by setting the rescheduling tolerances. These config can be found in
OPPQ select Rescheduling
or, for MRP groups
Please check and come back.

Budget error while issuing stock to the project based production order

Ours is project based Engineering company, we mfg euipments for the client which is part of the project.
We define separate WBS element for equipment to be manufacture & create reservation under this WBS element.
Secondly we follow production process through PP & define BOM for equipment which contains component rquired to mfg the equipment. To control cost(budget) component group wise we create separate sub WBS element for each component group(plates, motors etc) under above equipment WBS element
Kindly refer e.g.below
1. Equipment (Finished code) to be manufacture is attached on WBS MYC-210952-06-03
2. Production order(1003780) created with reference to above WBS element
3 Material procured under WBS MYC-210952-06-03-001
4. Stock available under WBS MYC-210952-06-03-001
We would like to issue material available under MYC-210952-06-03-001 to production order which is attached to WBS MYC-210952-06-03. (Tcode MB1A)
System allows to issue stock, but gives budget error.
Is it possible to transfer budget auto in the transaction MB1A itself from MYC-210952-06-03-001 to MYC-210952-06-03 or what is the best solution available for above situation.
Kindly confirm.
Thanks & regards
Sanjay Karnekar

Hi Sanjay,
You have consumed a budget at lower level WBS for material procurement. And at upper level you want to do stock transfer.
But while doing budget allocation you have distributed the budget from Upper level to lower level so there is no distributable value is avaialble at upper level for the amount of the materail stock you want to transfer.
In this either you have to keep your all budget values at upper level where your doing equipment aeembly and not distribute the budget further at lower level.
Now you alredy this so you cant do anything.
Now you have following option available with you. You have perform following activity by the given sequence.
Deactivate the Budget check by CJBW
Do your stock transfer
Do budget return by CJ38 from level WBS to upper level WBS
Now Activate the budget check by CJBV.

Pradeep

Hi shankar,
For your case (in service subcon), check routing with operation 20 (PP02), subcontracting check box have tick, pls remove tick mark and save production order, now you convert PR to PO
