MRP for make to order

Dear All,
I have a material with make to order strategy 20. now when sales order comes, MRP plans material on the basis of that order. but client wants that when order comes then they can start production. but in sap, after order mrp plans material then procurement starts and after procurement production is started.
Now my requirement is that though material is make to order but is it possible that we can plan materials before order. otherwise guide me how can i cater client's requirement.

now when sales order comes, MRP plans material on the basis of that order. but client wants that when order comes then they can start production.
assuming: once the production order is received, they will start production means, Dependent material have stock, In that case use Strategy 82. once sale order received, production order will create automatically.
For dependent material use strategy 70
Or use strategy 50, Enter PIR to start producing Dependent material, once the sale order received, you can convert the plan order into production order

Mrp for make to order scenario

hi gurus,
I have got a different and challenging scenario in make to order planning. production planning has to be made on sales order basis.for eg : a particular finished product, a sale order of 100 nos is generated. but all 100 nos cannot be produced in single plant. so it has to be distributed to 2-3 plants. one more thing is, for make to order scenario, there is no fixed lot size. based on sale order quantity, planned order is created irrespective of fixed lot size maintained in material master. IF my batch size is fixed, for make to order also based on fixed based size, planned order has to be created.
Can anybody suggest a better solution for this scenario?
Thank you all in advance. all useful replies will be rewarded.

senthil

Hello,
For MTO, Lot for Lot order quantity is defaulted..
So your receipt element will be as per your Sales Order.
Try this:
In T. Code : OMI4, for Lot Size : EX
Change the MTO Lot size to "1" Lot-for-Lot with rounding.
(Which is Blank by default - lot-for-lot)
Maitain the Rounding Value in MRP-1 Screen or Use Rounding Profile..
This Helps..

Unable to carry out MRP for make-to-order

Dear All,
I have a six level Bill of Material ( BOM ) .I am using planning strategy 20 make-to-order producton.
There is no stock for any of these materials.
Now when i try to run mrp on sales order basis it is not planning for all the levels of the BOM.The MRP Stops planning at 3 or 4th level.The MRP Run does not give any error.
Is there any setting to carry out MRP out MRP for all level of BOM?
I checked the setting in 0001 plant and compared them with my plant they are same.THE SYSTEM IS DOING MRP IN 0001 PLANT FOR ALL LEVELS
so pleses help me on these issue.
Regards
Prashant

Hy Prashant,
If you want to carry out MRP with MD50 for all levels of BOM then check this things,
For all the BOM components (up to last level) check in MRP 4 view of Material master
- Individual / Collective - It should be Individual or Individual/Collective.
If is maintain as Collective then you will not get planing Proposals though MD50.
- For all BOM headers Materials (Fert , Halb ) check in MRP 4 view for MRP for Dependent requirement should be maintain as Dependent requirement are Planned
Check the above things and if not maintain then maintain it and then run MRP with MD50.You will get the Planing proposals for all levels of BOM.

Explanation on use of Strategies for Make to Order/ Make to stock scenario

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario. In the BOM, the final Finished Product was to be made for make to order. There are two semi finished material below that. One I want to use it for make to stock and another for make to order. There is one more raw material at the bottom level which I want for make to stock. So I want to know what are the strategies I can use in the material master at all the levels for this scenario. Can anyone explain how can I do it in SAP?
Regards,
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
This indicator will determine the component how it should get produced either individually or collectively
Example
Fert 1 - strategy 20, requirement for this fert Via sales order is 10
Fert 2 - strategy 40 requirement for this fert Via sales order/demand management is 10
ROH is used in both Ferts and mainatined in BOM and also set to indicator 2 ( Colletive ) in MMR
ROH requiement for fert 1 -1 ( BOM )
ROH requiement for fert 2 -1 ( BOM )
after MRP system will create only 1 PR for total qty 20
If ROH is set to 1 ( individually ) then
after MRP system will create 2 PR's as 10 each
Hope it answers your query

User Steps for Make to Order & Make to Stock

Hi Sapians,
Please guide me as to the users steps to be done in product costing for make to order & make to stock.
Regards,
Viki
Moderator: Please, read the rules of SDN before posting. You can search for Wiki material or explore help.sap.com for basic process description

Hi there,
Make to order is when you manufacture or procure the material only upon order. Stocks are not maintained for those items in the storage loc. As & when the order comes, a production run is triggered through MRP. After the production, stock is posted as reserved sales order stock. Stock is then made available to fulfill the delivery.
Other items are make to stock. Usually for fast moving or consumer goods, stocks are always mainatined in the plant storage loc. As & when the order comes, availability check is done. If stock is available to meet the delivery date, delivery is proceesed or a confirmed delievry date is proposed basing on the replenishment lead time in availability check.

Item category determination for make to order item

Hi experts,
how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Neel,
Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

Serial Number assignment in Delivery Note for Make-to-order

Hi experts,
In our current design, we have made it obligatory to enter the serial number in the delivery note for make
to order stocks.
We are also implementing PP and we would like to capture
the serial number specified in the production order and
automatically populate the serial number in the delivery.
Any suggestions on how I can do this is greatly appreciated.

Hi Karun,
Thank you for your kind advice all the time.
I have been looking into it but the LIPS structure does not contain the serial number field...
I have been looking for the routine in the copy control
but have no luck finding such routine...
Thanks for your continuous help and assistance.

Invoice Correction Requests for Make to Order

Dear Gurus
I am creating an Invoice Correction Request for an Invoice which was generated for Make to Order material. I am using Document type RK . I can save Invoice correction Request. But when I generate a Credit Memo it gives message that
000010 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000010)
000020 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000020)
It should not ask for costing here in Credit memo Request.
Even if I do costing for Line 20 it copies only Line 20 in Credit note which gives wrong calculation. Because I cannot change line 10 in Invoice Correction Request.
Pl can you advise whether costing is required in Credit memo request. If not how can I handle this scenario.

Hi,
Just check if you attached status profile to either your sales order header or item.
Just release that first and try again.
Let me know if it helps.

Consumption for make to order

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement ...." When I run MRP for the sale order for the finished product , system is creating palnning praposals for FERT material BOM and next level BOM'S also. But my requirement is If stocks are there , system has to consume the stocks first of all RM's and HALB materials" .
I have maintained Collective requirements in MRP4 view for all materials , but still system is not considering my stocks .
Plz suggest me how to achieve this .
Thanks & regards
Prabhakar

Hi,
MRP will create dependent requirements for Raw Materials and HALB materials based on the FERT requirement. If system does not find available inventory for Raw Materials and HALB to meet the demand it will create the planning proposal (Planned Order) for lower level elements also.
Go to MD04 screen for the HALB materials and check what is the current situation (stocks...dependent reservations etc...)
Try and revert back.

Condition P101 for make-to-order

For stock transport orders, you can use condition type P101 to pull the standard cost of the shipping plant into the purchase order. Is there a similar condition type or routine that can be used for make-to-order product where we can pull the value from the EBEW table of the shipping plant?
thanks,

Hi,
For transfering sale order stock to sub-contractor the movement type is 311-E. Here, you have to create the sub-contractor storage location & then transfer the stock (of BOM material) to sub-contractor storage location by movement type 311-E in transaction MB1B. While posting GRN of the upper material, system posts the consumption of the BOM material against the upper material.
Hope this works.

Schedule line disappears for Make to Order Item

Hello,
In make to Order process, there are 2 schedule lines created, while creating the order in VA01 transaction.
But when i save order and see it change mode (VA02), only one schedule line with 0 quantity confirmed for the requested delivery date is seen. the order schedule line with 120 confirmed quantity for the futhur delvery date disappears.
Can some body please comment why this is happening. I am not able to understand this.
Will this schedule line be created after MRP run. I have also executed MD02 for MRP run, as well as created the planned order to Production order. But still the second schedule line is not getting created which was seen at the time of creating the order.

u2022     System will not perform net requirement calculation between individual sales orders
u2022     Produced quantities canu2019t be switched between one sales order to other
u2022     System creates individual planned orders against each sales order recd. With ref
u2022     Individual & collective requirement indicator controls the level up to which MTO is applicable
u2022     Goods Issue against the sales order reduces the requirement
u2022     System manages the production & procurement costs specifically for each sales order in settlement order
u2022     Lot for lot order qty, is the default lot size followed in MTO, irrespective of the settings in MRP1
==================================================================================
Create a material(MM01) with Strategy Group :20 ( MRP3)
You can check & confirm all those properties by creating a Sales Order (VA01)
See the effect of it after running the MRP ( MD02),
Check the Results in Stock Requirement List ( MD04)
Also, check the stock level of the same material before the Sales Order &
after the Sales Order
If possible, Create One more Sales Order &
see how the quantities of the individual sales Orders are managed.
You can verify all the prosperities of Make to Order (Strategy :20) by yourself
Hope this may Help
