PIR consumption issue

We have been having intermittent problems with our R/3 implementation (4.7C)for a long time. PIRs get consumed without explanation (i.e. no sales orders coming it to consume the forecast, which is expressed as PIRs). We suspect it might have something to do with our delivery process, but have been unable to pinpoint it, or re-create it for showing SAP, or anyone else. Has anybody out there experienced something similar? We're at the end of our rope!

I am sorry for the very late reply Senthil.
Yes PIR is basically a requirement that is created manually ( t code :MD64) on the manufacturing plant. This enables the manufacturing plant to produce materials to stock ahead of actual customer requiremnts( the sale order).
The advantage of consumption mode is that it prevents dual planning. To better explain if the sale order is created when actual customer order is received it will first consume the PIR requirement as stocks have been produced ahead of time
(made to stock strategy) against the PIR. If the sale order qty is over & above the PIR reqt then only system will plan for additional qty to meet the remaining sale order qty.
For your case
Lets assume unconsumed PIR for last month was 10. This month PIR is 20.
now sale order comes this month for 10. It will consume the PIR of this month & not consume PIR of last month as your backward consumption is only 5 days. Then your earlier month PIR remains unconsumed & will cause excess planning.
Lets assume another sale order comes for 20. System will consume the remaining PIR (of this month) =10 & replan for additional 10 to meet actual Sale order.
So my advise for consumption periods is backward =30, forward = 30 or 60 days if you create PIR monthly. If your PIR is for weekly or daily buckets then consumption periods as per your selection should work well.
Lastly enusure that unconsumed PIR reorganisation run is carried out to avoid excess planning( tocde: MD74)
Hope this helps you. If you have further doubts please send me an email on [email protected]

PIR Consumption - Sales Order & Service Order

All -
I've come across an issue in our system as it relates to PIR consumption. We create a PIR forecast which is designed to be consumed by orders. (MM strategy group 40, PIR consumption indicator 1). PIR is successfully consumed upon sales order creation.
In the same area of our business (aftermarket service and repair), we also require PIR consumption when component requirements are added to our repair service orders.
With the current setup (strat 40, CI 1), the PIR is not consumed after service order component addition. It adds to the total material requirements.
I've altered our settings across the board to account for both order types, however, i am hitting a wall as to if my new settings are a help or a hinderance.
New settings are (MM strat 40, MM mixed MRP mode 3, PIR CI 3).
Visually, i can see that my total PIR count is actively reduced via MD04 monitoring, however, when looking at the PIR directly, I see that the PIRs have not been consumed. Instead they are still active and the reqs are hidden.
I don't know if consumption of PIR is allowed for multiple order types. I know that strat 40 directly relates to sales order requirement planning. I do not know if there is a strategy that works similarly for both sales order AND service order types. I'm also very skeptical of using mixed MRP mode 3 to accomplish the PIR consumption.
Could anyone enlighten me on this? I can't find any information on this sort of order types with consumption. If it's not possible to combine order types with PIR consumption, so be it. I'd just like some info.
Thank you in advance,
Ehren

Sure thing. I'm running in our test client for the results, but my settings are identical:
Image 1 = MD04 result of addition of PIR using VSF with consumption indicator 3:
Image 2 = Addition of sales order requirement for the same part, VQTEST1. Successfully consumes qty 1 of PIR material:
Image 3 = Modification of service order to add qty 1 of component VQTEST1. Rather than consuming one of the remaining PIRs, the order created a new requirement above the PIR forecast:

ISE 1.2/1.2.1 license consumption issues

Hi all, I know this topic is somewhat done to death but I want to know whether anyone else is experiencing this issue. In summary my ISE deployment (right this minute) has 17 Active sessions with 17 base and 17 plus licenses consumed. My issue with this is that of the 17 active sessions only 8 of these sessions are utilising a plus feature ie the registration status in the authorisation policy. In short at all times the plus license consumption always matches the base license consumption.
I have continually had this issue with all ISE deployments whereby the license consumption does not reflect Cisco documentation and my configurations. Without giving screenshots I can say with certainty that the only plus feature been used is the BYOD onboarding and subsequent registration status in the authz policy. The rest of my policies are straight forward CWA guest and EAP-TLS machine cert authorisations with no profiling information used in the policy. I have gone so far as to turn off profiling and removing BYOD policies with the same results.
The following document clearly states what should and shouldn't consume a license:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/datasheet-c78-730772.pdf
Any input would be appreciated.

The bug is listed as fixed, but I don't see which software it is fixed in. I must admit I've seen this problem for months, probably over a year now. It was already the case on 1.1.4 at least. I have some customers using 1300 of 500 advanced licenses.
It would be nice if it functioned exactly as the documentation always said. It would give you a warm feeling that things will keep working when the advanced license expires entirely (I'm sure we'll find out soon).
At one point I was told it was under discussion whether to fix the problem, or to fix the documentation to fit the problem, but last I heard it would be fixed at some point in the future. Every time we get a call regarding new software (1.2.1, 1.3) I make sure I ask them that the trust based licensing continues. We're OK as long as trust based licensing continues, but it's scruffy and hard to explain to customers why it shows 3 times as many advanced users as they already have. And then on occasions you see their eyes light up when they realise they can run 3000 advanced and Cisco will be none the wiser, or alternatively that they could have got away with a 100 user license and you've just cost them a 5000 user license that nobody can tell if they are using or not.

ABC Analysis of Planned Consumption(Issue against Reservation).

Hi Experts,
Is there any standard report is available for ABC Analysis of Planned Consumption(material issued against Reservation)?
thx in advance...

Hi,
I allready tested with Tcodes such as MC.9 (gives details of total & unplanned consump. not for Planned consump.) & MB51(gives details for only one Mov. Type say either 261 or 262 not possible to do ABC ana. for balance of both)
Is there any other std report as ABC analysis of planned consp.
Thx in advance...

FM : For reduction of PIR /Consumption

Hi.
Is there any FM for reduction of PIR <Forecast> quantity for consumption mode forward/backward> .

Hi ALL experts,
I can send my screenshot to you guys, but I cannot upload them via picasaweb.
Is there any chance that SAP made some "upgrade" and make it happen by using "consumption 3+Mix MRP 1".
I use a customized strategy and I compare it with 40, here is the defferences:
                 Reqmts type (indep./customer)    Reqmts class (indep./customer)
40                        VSF/KSV                                       101/050
ZZ                      VSFB/KSV                                      105/050
default values for consumption type per reqmts class, VSF(101) is 1; VSFB(105) is 3.
Thank you.

Use of PIR consumption for advance material order (MTO prototype)

Hi planing Gurus,
I am investigating the possibility to use PIR to trigger replenishement long lead time sub level mfg or purchase products in the context of building MTO prototype. I believe I could use planning strategy 70/consumption mode VSFB to handle eventual actual requirements that will be created at higher levels.
Q1. The parameters Fwd and Bwd consumption in MRP 3 are limitted. For instance, if I set 7 days each the system will only consider actual demand in this timeframe. I am not too in favor to set large value there to manage the fact that actual demand may not occur exactly as planned by the PIR. Is there any way the consumption can be iterative (eg. bwd 7, fwd 7, bwd 14, fwd 14)?
Q2. Is there another mean to trigger replenishment of long lead time mfg part/purch part in the contexte of MTO prototype and manage consumption.
Your help is greatly appreciate and speed up my curve to learn SAP PP architecture (I have experience with other mfg systems).
Francois Paquet

You had another question
Q2. Is there another mean to trigger replenishment of long lead time mfg part/purch part in the contexte of MTO prototype and manage consumption.
FOr this I would suggest even looking at Planning strategy (PS) = 50.
This strategy are probably the most widely-used strategies in a make-to-order environment.
Procurement of the long lead items (components) is planned by means of planned independent requirements entered at the finished product level. The system creates special planned orders at the finished product level for these planned independent requirements. These orders are only relevant for production once a sales order for the finished product exists.
The assemblies are, however, produced or procured before the sales order is entered. Production is carried out up to one level before the finished product level, and the assemblies and components required for producing the finished product are placed in stock to await the incoming sales order.
Final assembly is triggered once a sales order has been entered.
Hope this helps you take a good decision.
Thanks,
Ram

Restricting PIR consumption based on custom Order Type

Hello Experts,
We have implemented BADI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS in our system ( Version 4.7 )so that we can restrict the consumption of Order Reservations.
For this we have added code as per OSS Notes# 608760 and 127370 for the BADI Interface.
We have included MRP Element "AR" so that consumption can happen for the order reservations.
The BADI is restricting consumption of PIR now for the order reservations, but now we want to restrict the Consumption of independent requirement only against reservation generated by customized Order type ( Say ZXXX ).
Does this functionality exist for this BADI? If yes,then how can we implement this?
Regards,
Debasish Sahu

Hello Prakash,
Thanks for your response.
The Def. Documentation does not describe how the process is carried out.
The documentation is as follows:
Application component: PP-MRP, PP-MP-DEM, PP-MP-LTP
Function group: M60A, M61X
You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to make the consumption and reduction processes for planned independent requirements more flexible.
In the SAP R/3 standard system there were previously four possibilities for consumption and reduction of planned independent requirements (planned independent requirements consumption indicator):
SPACE     no consumption
'1'     Consumption with customer requirements (planned independent requirements)
'2'     Consumption with dependent requirements, dependent and manual reservations, release order requirements from stock transfers (dependent requirements)
'3'     Consumption with planned independent requirements and dependent requirements
You can use Business Add-In MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to realize consumption processes in which there are controls to define for each MRP element whether consumption or reduction should occur.
This Business Add-In replaces modification note 127370 in release 4.70.
&PRECONDITIONS&
&STANDARD_SETUP&
o     The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.
o     The system cannot be used multiple times.
&ACTIVITY&
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_MRP OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_IMPLEMENT OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
&EXAMPLE&
In the sample-coding, planned independent requirements with consumption indicator '4' (see method documentation) are consumed against all of the consumable SD document types (sales orders, SD scheduling agreement schedule lines, deliveries) and release order requirements from stock transfer purchase procurement proposals (purchase orders, purchase requisitions, scheduling agreement schedule lines, planned orders).

PIR consumption at different plant

Hello dear gurus,
Here's a tough one; I have a situation (quite common) where there's a supply chain with one manufacturing plant and a number (like 4) of distribution plants. (CPG)
Normaly in SAP in such a situation you need to maintain PIRs for each distribution plant (there's where sales take place), and with special procurement key relate the supply to the manufacturing plant.
Thing is that in my case customer is not willing to maintain PIRs for each DC, but rather have one global forecast (at manufacturing plant level). To accomodate that I made a development that reflects the available stocks in DCs as supply elements in MFG. plant, so we can run one MRP planning run to get production planning.
My yet unsolved problem is the incorrect consumption of PIRs. I use strategy 10.
Ideally was if I found a way to consume planning in the MFG plant with sales in the DCs.
Any ideas?

Dear,
If you are maintaining the PIR in manufactering plant system will take the stock of manufactering plant.
Requirement will flow from DC to manufactering plant, In this case you maintain the requirement from in the form of PR from DC, how the system will understand the requirement from DC.
Hence correct and stright forward way is you need to maintai n stg 40 in C and maintain special stock indicator. Hence system will create PR after considering the stock at DC.
If this is not the case, you need to go for ZMRP.
Please come back your view is different and looking for some thing different

I915 power consumption issue after switch to systemd?

After switching to systemd I noticed a massive increase of power consumption on my Thinkpad X220 (i5 Sandy Bridge).
The strange thing is, that after some reboots it randomly seems to catch the i915 power saving mode and the consumption gets from ~24W to ~7W at idle. But only after several reboots.
Adding the good old i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 to the boot parameters doesn't make any differences. But looking at the powertop detail outputs it seems to be a i915 issue.
Using the latest linux kernel from core (3.6.4) and latest intel drivers (2.20.12).

I started to get suspicious because I have only ever had the issue in my office. Last week, when I encrypted my drive, my machine wrote to disk for more than 14 hours solid. I then did all the set up and all the restoring from backup etc. with no issue whatsoever. Lenovo ran the thing for 48 hours straight with no problem. But once in my office...
So I asked the local IT people if they could think of anything other than overheating and explained the issue. They took my laptop yesterday , booted it from a hardware testing CD and ran it for a couple of hours sitting on top of a hot computer in the server room which is definitely hot. (It has a whole bunch of computers, I guess.) No issue. They then ran stress tests for a while in the same place. No problem. Highest recorded temp: 65C.
The head of IT then took my power adapter to a more general IT service to be tested and inspected. They looked at it, they opened the plug to check the fuse, they tested it. No problem. Of course, the guy also explained why he was asking and the other IT person said, "Oh, is that on level 1?" "Yes..." So apparently there was another machine (a Mac), I think, doing just the same thing in an office in my part of the building. Testing showed that the power spikes and when the power spikes, the laptop shut down as a safety measure. Solution: they installed a UPS for that one laptop. They didn't tell anybody else, including the local IT people.
What the local IT people were going to do was to install equipment to monitor the power in my office and see if anything weird was causing my laptop to react. However, that was when this was an extremely-unlikely-but-we-are-getting-desperate-for-theories scenario. Clearly, that theory no longer seems wildly implausible at all. So the current hypothesis is that it is most likely that my machine is also reacting to the spikes in power by shutting itself off. (I'm not sure why it should have just started doing this but who knows what the state of the electricals is and how that might vary?)
I have been told that a surge protector will do no good. (They've given me one anyway but apparently it will not deal with spikes in phase 3 power or something - I didn't understand this bit but the head IT person said he didn't understand it either but the electricals IT person showed him with graphs on the whiteboard. So it must be true.)
The current plan is to try to get the UPS from central IT which was provided for the other laptop since that person's discipline has since moved to another floor of the building so the UPS probably went back to central IT. They are going to ask during a meeting tomorrow about this possibility. Otherwise, they are planning to order a UPS for me on Monday.
I'm somewhat surprised that the abrupt shutdowns haven't screwed my data. I've lost work but not seen fs corruption. I didn't take my laptop today. I'll need it next week but I do not plan to plug it in in my office until I have a UPS.
I'm pretty annoyed, to be honest. I've wasted hours on this and got incredibly stressed about it. The IT people have also wasted a (smaller) amount of time. I hoped to have a new draft of an article I'm working on written by the end of reading week but that didn't happen due to all of this. And they *knew*. It would be different if this was an unknown problem just discovered - of course, one could understand that. But there's a known problem which can cause this type of problem and presumably could well damage equipment without these sorts of safety shutdown features and they don't tell anybody.
And, no, I doubt very much indeed that a damaged personal machine would be considered the institution's liability. (Maybe if it was a student's machine and the student was required to use it or something but even then...)
I can't believe it does much good to their equipment either.
The local IT people did know there was an issue with some burnt out devices but that was about eight years ago and only got mentioned as a outside possibility when other diagnostics turned up no result.
What gets me is that the proposed solution will only solve the issue for me - not for anybody else in my part of the building on level 1.

REM PIR consumption.

Hi Gurus,
Previously material has strategy 10,now i changed to 40 but the PIRs are not consuming by incoming orders.
In other plant materials having strategy 40 working fine,the same i wanted to do in different plant (in which strategy is 10)thats why i made changes from strategy10 to40.But it dosent works i.e. PIRs are not consuming by incoming orders.
Pls help
Regards,
-Deven

Hi Deven.
check in "Requirement Class, Tcode : OVZG, The "Transfer of Requirement should " (Rq) should be clicked (on). Also check the Allocation Indicator (Allln).
The Allocation Indicator Controls the consumption of customer requirements with planned independent requirements whereby the customer requirements type is only allocated one consumption st
Also check in Requirement Class, whether the Right Requirement has been Assigned to Requirement class. Tcode : OVZH.
If solved, reward point & close the Thread.

Iphone 6 idle time battery consumption issues

My new 1 month old iphone 6 seems to have pathetic idle time power consumption. When i got to bed around 11 AM lets say the battery is around 25% by the time i wake up by 5 AM it drops to 2-3% if wifi is turned on. Just to check if its a wifi issue i tried the same thing without wifi turned on and the results show the drop to be from 25% to 8-9%. I have owned a 5 and 4s previously but never faced any such weird issue. Is this a known issue? Funniest part is all through the day the consumption seems to be pretty much okay, but only during nights the drop seems to be pretty high. Let me know if anyone else is seeing the same issue.

Mixed MRP indicator 1 for PIR consumption of STO

I am aware that Mixed MRP indicator is used in planning strategies 70, 11 and 74.
could some one please help me understand the rationale behind using mixed mrp indicator 1 for consuming PIR by Stock transfer documents using BADI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/PIRconsumptionwithStockTransport+Documents

Question is
what is the technical reason behind using mixed mrp setting in material master for consuming pir with STO using badi dm_pir_flex_cons. I do not see how they are related??

PIR consumption

Please suggest me with effective planning.
I have a FG "A" having phantom A_PHAN which has a component "B" (planning strategy 70). when i plan for B, lets say i entered 600 qty in a planning table for 12/2010. now i got a sales order with 2 schedules line item for same material A with delivery dates as 10.12.2010, 15.12.2010, when i ran MRP before sales order i got a planned order for qty 600 on 1.12.2010, after SO when i re ran MRP i got 2 planned orders, 1 for qty 100 on 1.12.2010, second one for qty 500 (200+300, 2 dependent requirements of A) on 10.12.2010. what should i do to get one planned order with 600 qty and rest are as dependent requirements of 200 and 300.
when i used PS 40 it will generating 3 planned orders one with 100 qty others 2 with 200 and 300 respectively. what strategy di i need to use for component "B". is there anything to do with consumption periods lengths.
if i have multiple similar components (d,e, f) can i put them in phantom assembly A_PHAN, can i plan for A_PHAN for 600 qty for 12.2010 will they transfer to all components, in that case what strategy do i need to use.
Thanks in advance.

7,
For your component part, you are saying that you have two requirements, each of which is on a different day, you have no stock, and you want MRP to create only one planned order which will 'cover' both of the requirements..
The creation of planned orders is dependent upon the Lot sizing procedure. I will assume you are using EX lot size in the Material Master of your component. If you wish to consolidate planned orders, you probably want to use a "Period Procedure" based lot size, such as "weekly" (WB), Monthly (MB), or a custom built Period procedure lot size. You can create new lot size strategies in OMI4.

Capacity consumption issue

Hello friends,
I have the following scenario:
II am using PP-PI model, Recipe for a Material A has fixed duration of 10 hrs for Capacity consumption.
When there is 1 process order created for 3 pc of A, system consumes 10 hrs of capacity. This works fine.
However if there are 3 process orders for matrial A each of 1 PC, system consumes 30 hrs of capacity. But actually it should consume only 10 hours of capacity.
Has anyone handled this using some special capacity formula or any other workaround.
Thanks in advance, Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Ram

Hi,
Please check for the time wheather you have given any inhouse production time which is indpendent of the lot size , normally if we give this time the system will not consider the lot size , it taked constant time per order , please check and let me know so that i can guide you further .
Thanks and Regards,
Mallikharjun.
