MRP Type P1 and late firm schedule lines

Hello All,
     We are using MRP Type P1 which firms our schedule agreement schedule lines within the planning time fence (as desired). However, sometimes the supplier is late on delivery and the firm schedule line goes into the past.
     Is it possible to have MRP move the firm schedule line delivery date to today instead of going into the past?
     Thank you,
     Jerry

Hi ,
Bring process forward (reschedule in)
Within this rescheduling horizon, the net requirements calculation checks whether, after a requirement, a firmed receipt exists, which can be used to cover this requirement. Then the system displays a rescheduling date as well as the exception message Bring process forward for this receipt. The net requirements calculation then uses this receipt and the system will only create another procurement proposal if the receipt quantity is not sufficient to cover the complete requirement. Several firmed receipts can be used to cover one requirement.
It does not take in to account the GR processing time and it is purely based on the stock requirement date , parameters in Procurement and Scheduling in the Material Master
So it will consume the requirement backward scheduling and bring the Process forward.
Kumar which strategy are you using ? scheduling agreement is of weekly , daily or monthly bucket ?
How many days SA bring to Production and How many days SA for forecast you are doing ?
Are you using any Program to convert these SA in to PIR and upload ( using any program ) .

System is not firming schedule line automatically

Hello,
I want to know how the end and start date of planning time fence is calculated and why system is not firming schedule line automatically.
In Material master I am using MRP type P1 and GR processing time 1 day, planned delivery time 1 day, planning time fence is 7 days. Lot size key EX
Today is 19.11.2008. And I have requirement of this material coming from FG on 20.11.2008.In MD04 transaction system is showing End of planning time fence is 28.11.2008 which is fine as per material master (+ 7 days excluding sat & Sunday).
When I run MRP for FG, system generates schedule line for this material procured form vendor for the required qty on 28.11.2008 with exception message (30-Plan process according to schedule20.11.08).
As per firming type P1 system should automatically firm the order since requirement date is on 20.11.2008 and it should show the schedule line on 20.11.2008 not on 28.11.2008
But when I change the delivery date manually from 28.11.2008 to 20.11.2008 it firms the schedule line.
Please suggest what can be the solution

Dear,
Check your MRP type and Planning time fence defined in mrp 1 view of material master?
Firm zone (go-ahead for production)
One of two periods specifying the degree to which the delivery schedule lines of a scheduling agreement release are classified as firm or semi-firm.
Use
! Firm zone I Trade-off zone I
!--!-II> Days
SA release creation date Schedule line date
Firm zone: (go-ahead for production)
If the date of a schedule line lies within the firm zone, the vendor has the go-ahead to produce the relevant quantity with the assurance that the orderer will bear any and all material and production costs associated with the scheduled quantity in the event of subsequent cancellation by the latter.
1. Another way of handling your issue is by using the manual firming .
2. In mdo4 in the Edit menu u will find a Set firming date.
3. Now you can select this and this will give u a popup for entering a date.
4.When u give a date in this and hit enter.
Also please note delivery schedule lines in ME38 (even it is created automatically), in Planning time fence, will get affected by MRP run.
Hope clear to you.

MD04 firm schedule line - ME38 schedule line manualy changed

Hello Gurus,
many users change manually quantity in schedule lines but then the schedule is locked and becomes firm in MD04 ( * ) so that MRP does not take this quantity into account.
How to change this behaviour as I want the MRP to take this modification into account ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
When your users change a schedule line they are automatically firmed as the system can only assume that they know more about the supply position than it does.
MRP does take the quantity into account, however, it is not allowed to change the date nor the quantity, so any increase or decrease in demand is reflected in the first unfirmed schedule line.
This behaviour is not configurable.
If the firmed schedule line is not correct because the user has made a change in error then you need to set the quantity to zero so that the schedule line is deleted. MRP will then create a new schedule line in line with the planning parameters and current stocks / demand.
Hope that has answered your question

Link between Delivery and Sales Order Schedule Line

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement in which i need to display quantity and amount at schedule line level and also the delivery and delivery item for each schedule line.
For example, if there is a sales order O1 and item 10 for which we have 3 schedule lines and 3 deliveries as well say D1, D2 and D3.
Report should be something like this
Sales Order    Item   Schedule Line    Delivery    Del Item   Confirmed Order Qty
O1                 10      1                       D1           10            5
O1                 10       2                      D2            10            5
O1                 10       3                      D3            10            4
How can i determine that a particular delivery corresponds to which schedule line of that saler order-item?
We have the link between delivery and sales order but is there any way that we can get the link of delivery at schedule line level?
Please help.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
I suppose you must check with SD functional consultant and the post should also be in the logistics SD forum and not BI. But I suppose there is know specific link between the schedule line of SO to the Delivery. It is more like a bucket flow for ex.
Sale order   Item    Schedule line qty
SO1            Item1     Sch1            10
SO2            Item1      Sch2           10
Delivery Item QTy
DO1       IT1   15
DO2       IT1    5
In this case qty 15 is distributed over both SO1 and SO2, and SO2 ITem1 Sch2 has link to both the DOs
So I am not sure if you can establish a one to one link, please check with your SD consultants.

Deletion and creation of Schedule line for Line Item

Hi BW Experts,
In P.S.A. when i have checked for first schedule line 001 reqdelqty is 50 , after deleting 001 and after creation of second schedule line in R/3 there are two records transferred from R/3 for schedule line 002 first with reversal indicator 'X' and delivery quantity -50 and next record with Reversal Indicator blank with value 50. which in turn results Reqdelqty zero.
Reason of wrong data in BW: -
Schedule line category for an item is being deleted forcefully. R3 doesnt allow deletion of a schedule line category if delivery is already created. Here user is creating one same schedule line and then he deletes the order quantity from earlier one. This forces system to pick up schedule line 2 in the document flow
· User shouldnt delete schedule line.

Hello Ganesh,
Schedule line number sequence will not be in control of the user.
once delivery for a schedule line is completed, no way you can delete the schedule line (except renumbering case). This is general SAP logic relates to schedule lines.
Let me know how they are deleting the schedule lines even though delivery is completed.
Now coming to Data load problem in BI.
When you delete schedule line 001, the generated record should be with schedule line 001 with Reversal Indicator as R and delivery quantity -50.
And for new schedule line 002, reversal indicator as blank and delivery quantity 50

Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines

All,
I'm using SQVI to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.

Hi Mark,
I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.

MRP - PRs being generated along with Schedule lines

Hi
Problem statement - PRs also getting generated alongwith schedule lines in MRP.
We have 'PD' MRP type set up for externally procured material with 'F'. I had set up to generate schedule line using the sourcelist. and during the planning run MD03, I am selecting the following values
Create PR - '2' Purchase requisitions in the open period (any value in the three generates a PR/Planned order in the open period)
Delivery Schedules - 3 Schedule lines.
The client requires only generation of schedule lines. How can I get this done.
regards
Nagaraj

Dear Nagaraj,
For MRP to create the schedule lines automatically, please change to the following settings.
1. Create Scheduling agreement for the vendor,Agreement type LP.
2. In ME03, Source List: Maintain MRP = 2 Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
3. Run MRP
Hope this helps you.

Sales Order is not consider for MRP in MRP Type PD and Strategy 40

Sales Order quantity is not consider for net requirement calculating in MRP.
My MRP Type is PD and Strategy 40.
Also in MD04 Sales order is not appearing.

Dear,
Requirements to MD04 will flow based on the settings you maintain in OVZ9 for the combination of "Availability Check" and "Checking Rule". Here whatever fields you choose under the tab "In/outward movements", that will be considered.
It may be because of Requirement type Missing at schedule line category level . In MD04 requirement are pass on Either Individually or collectively . In Case of Individual each schedule line create one entry in MD04 ( Stock Requirement list)
So check the materail master for checking group is maintain or not?
Please refer this thread also,
Re: Sale order not reflecting in MD04
After that run MRP again and check the result.

MRP Run Error creating Requisitions instead Schedule Lines

Hi Folks,
I am facing a typical issue with MRP Run.
Every time when I am running the MRP for a particular material I have made settings such that Schedule lines to be generated by maintaining the Source list and MRP relevancy as 2 in source list. Also I have fixed the vendor. Now my problem is I am getting Schedule lines for first run and Combination of Purchase requests and Schedule lines or only PRs for the next MRP run.. This is keep on repeating in such as way that the planning is shifting as said above for subsequent MRP Run.
Note that the initial settings during MD02 remain same for all run.
I want only schedule lines to be generated but not PR.
Pls advise and provide input where the wrong might be.
Quick responce would be appreciated.

Difference between MRP Type PD and VB

Hi All,
I have a scenario, in which i have some doubts which i have mentioned below.
1. MRP Type 'PD' with maintaining Safety stock for the materials which have longer lead time. Will the safety stock which exists will cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays.
2. MRP Type 'VB' with maintaining Safety stock, reorder point, Maximum stock level for the materials which have longer lead time. Here the safety stock which exists will cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays.
3. MRP Type 'ND' with maintaining Safety stock.
Of all these 3 MRP Types, what will be the outcome after doing the MRP Run? Should I go for separate MRP run for VB type materials?
Please give the solution.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
PD: this requirement type considers teh requirements in terms of Sales orders,PIRs stock transfer requireements etc for the material and then does the net requirement calculation and creates procurement proposals accordingly. it also considers safety stock while doint the net requiremetn calculation.
VB: generally used for items with a fairly consistent consumption pattern. here the requirement depends on the safety stock and the current stock. if the current stock goes below the reorder point, then only a requirement is generated. besides the safety stock it does not consider any othe requirement.
ND; these items are not planned. so no effect of MRP run
normally for the VB type materials, a background job is scheduled that does the MRP run at predefined schedules.
even for items with PD, the MRP job can be scheduled at predefined intervals according to the MRP controllers or some other parameters like production schedulers, MRP group etc.
please let me know if u need more details

Link between Prod Order and Sale Order schedule line

Dear all,
Ours is a MTO (81).
In Scheduling Agreement / Sale Order , there are multiple schedule lines for a single item .
Production Orders are generated for every schedule line of the Item.
The client wants to know (for a custom developed report) , against which schedule line of the Sched Agreement/ Sale Order, the Production Order is generated ?
This Information can be seen in MD04.But I am not able to fetch from the tables .
The schedule line field (KDEIN ) is not updated in AFPO table & the order no (AUFNR) is not updated in VBEP table .
Say,
Sale Doc No : 42000506
Schedule line/Dely date            Order qty          Prod Order No
06.10.09                                    500kg               100170
15.10.09                                    300kg               100171
Pls give your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Only Sales Order No & Sales Order Item No is updated in the table.

MRP Type PD and VB combination

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have one req. as below,
I have one material which i want to run on both PD & VB type.
Means,
for simple example
1. I have one fert item in that one roh item bom.
first case:-
1. Roh item has min, max level is 500, 1000 ea. i.e. reorder level is 1000 ea.
2. if my roh has stock 400, system should generate requirement of 600.
3.& also if my fert item has 2000 requirement & if I take MRP RUN then system should genrate roh requirement is 600 & then 1000 nos.
Pls. advise me how i can achive this????
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vinayak

Hi Vinayak,
I guess you dint get an ans to your previous posting on the same issue.
Anyways i see a fundamental mis-alignment in your need.
You specify Min stock level as 500, Max as 1000. If present stock level is 400 & req. coming for 2000, you want the system to propose 600 + 1000, which implies, when you issue the entire 2000, the system will have 0 stock, is that what you're looking for? Can you justify the same?

Vivek
