Scheduling agreement with Consumption based planning

Dear Experts,
I Have a Scenario,
I need to Bulit a Laptop which is a Finished Material, and the Components like Hardisk, Processor, Ram, Casing, Monitor are my Rawmaterials. By using these rawmaterials we are building the parent material.
My Client requirement is 1) Plan and schedule the requirement
2) Replenish the stock based on consumption based planning.
My query is
1) How should i proceed for mm based procurement ?
2) Does i need to create scheduling agreement for rawmaterials and and maintain schedule lines ?
3) For which materials i need to run the MRP ? weather its parent material or Component material ?
4) What are the sequence of process need to be carried out ?
Required ur valuable inputs on this.
Best Regards

Hi
Consumption based planning and Scheduling agreement are two different functions.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption values and uses the forecast or other statistical procedures to determine future requirements. The procedures in consumption-based planning do not refer to the master production schedule. That is, the net requirements calculation is not triggered either by planned independent requirements or dependent requirement. Instead, it is triggered when stock levels fall below a predefined reorder point or by forecast requirements calculated using past consumption values.
A form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on predetermined dates within a certain time period.
With release documentation (in the standard system, document type LPA)
The schedule lines in the system have internal character. This means that you can change them in any way you wish. The schedule lines stored in the system are not transmitted to the vendor until you explicitly create a scheduling agreement release (which may take one of two forms: a forecast delivery schedule or a JIT delivery schedule).
The release documentation allows you to display the releases transmitted to a vendor over a certain period in order to establish exactly when you transmitted which information to the vendor.
Without release documentation (in the standard system, document type LP)
The schedule lines immediately have official character, i.e. they are immediately transmitted to the vendor the moment you save them (transmission time-spot 4 for messages). There is no release documentation in this case.
It cannot be explained in few lines. You need to study the below link.

Issue with Consumption based Planning( MRP )

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in my client to run CBP for Spares.
There is no issue till MRP run.
Background
MRP runs every night for Plant and new proposals in the form of PR are generated as per requirements.
After MRP run user wants to puts in Cost centre through MD06 in respective PRs generated .
The requirement is as follows
1) In MD06 the user wants to list only those items for which freshly created PRs last night are there.He will put in Cost centre one by one and mark the processing indicator.
2) Next day again MRP runs for the same materials and new PRs might not have generated but the material line item still appears on MD06 list for processing . This is unnecessary and should be avoided .
or
3) If we get a indicator suggesting for these PR costcentre has been put and for these Costcentre has to be put.
Please let me know if we can use the input parameters or exception msgs/lights or find function to my advantage.
Thanks,
Anup

Just make sure that you firm all those that you add CC (it should be automatic). Then system will not change them next run, and you can ask to see only not firmed (firmed already have CC).

Long Term Planning : Requirements from "Consumption based planning" missing

Hello,
I'm trying to use long term planning ( MSBT,MS01..) for simulation. In the scenario I've set up I want to have all actual requrements and orders as well as fixed orders.
The problem is that requirements(=forecast) for materials with consumption based planning ( MRP type =VV ) are not transferred from the operative planning. How can this be achieved ?
Best Regards
Bernt

Hi,
Hard to say... have you looked in the details of the VV MRP setting, your LTP scenario, or your copy transaction in case there is some parameter about this?
In case you are looking for information about this process, here is a good document with a detailed description of the Long-Term Planning Process in SAP (with detailed T-codes as well): http://expertplug.com/materials/training/long-term-planning-in-sap
You have a preview and a detailed description to see if it suits your needs.

Consumption based planning

Hi,
I need to configure the CBP based on Past consuption data of 3 months and also it should give me future forecast values for 3 months. also I want to use safety stock and Reorder level.
Which MRP type should be used and what are configuration setting required for the same.
Also pl.guide me on What will happen if there is sedden rise in the requirement is any month?
Thx

Hi,
MRP supports and helps the MRP controller in the task areas. These tasks include
determining type, quantity and time of the requirement, and scheduling corresponding
procurement elements. The automatic planning run for MRP determines shortage situations and generates the corresponding procurement elements. Possible
procurement elements of MRP are planned orders, purchase requisitions and
scheduling agreement schedule lines. The planned order and purchase requisition are
internal planning elements that can be changed, rescheduled or deleted at almost
any time.
In in-house production, the system creates planned orders for planning production
quantities. When planning has finished, the system converts the planned orders into
production orders. The system then converts the dependent requirements in the
planned order into reservations in the production order.
In external procurement, the system either creates a planned order or a purchase
requisition for direct planning of external procurement quantities. Whether purchase
requisitions are created for direct planning, or planned orders are created first, you
can use the creation indicator for purchase requisitions/MRP groups in the material
master record on the initial screen of the planning run. When planning has finished,
the planned order must be converted to a purchase requisition, which is subsequently
converted to a purchase order. The advantage of creating a planned order first is
the additional procurement proposal check that is executed by the MRP controllers.
Purchasing can only order the material when the MRP controller has checked the
planned order and converted it into a purchase requisition. Otherwise, the procurement proposal is immediately available for Purchasing.
Planning Levels of Consumption-Based Planning
Requirements planning takes place at plant level. In other words, the entire stock that
exists in the plant is considered in planning. However, the stocks of individual storage
locations can be excluded from MRP or planned independently. These stocks are then
not included in MRP at plant level. You can also execute requirements planning
for individual MRP areas. You can define the MRP areas yourself. This means
that several storage locations can be grouped together for one MRP area and that
requirements planning can be executed separately from the plant for these MRP areas.
MRP areas enable a differentiation of material requirements planning within a plant.
(MRP areas include the function of storage locations that are planned separately for
materials requirements.)
Planning Levels for Materials Planning is either
1. The Plant with Storage locations planned separately.
2. MRP areas
Basically, MRP areas are optional. You can plan all material requirements without referring to MRP areas.
There are three different types of MRP areas:
1. Plant MRP areas (obligatory) that are automatically created by activating
planning with MRP areas. Their numbers match the number of the plant. If no
more MRP areas are defined, the plant MRP area covers the entire plant.
2. Storage location MRP areas that are defined by the storage locations assigned
to them.
3. Subcontractor MRP areas that provide planning of the requirement of the
material provided for a subcontractor and are defined by the assignment of
this subcontractor.
Prerequisites for Consumption-Based Planning
The following prerequisites must have been fulfilled in order to carry out requirements
planning for a plant:
Requirements planning for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Planning u2192 Activate Material Requirements Planning.
T-code - OMDU
The plant parameters for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Plant Parametersu2192 Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters.
T-code - OMI8
In the material master record, you have to maintain the MRP data of the materials
that are subject to automatic planning.
I hope this may help u !

Procurement Scheduling Agreements in Heuristic-Based SNP

Hi,
I have a question about Procurement Scheduling Agreements in Heuristic-Based SNP. I was reading through
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/d6/07783b12fc9f20e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">this topic</a> in help.sap.com
The last paragraph: "If the confirmation quantity is less than ....... as described in step ", says that the first Heuristic run is executed, then plan is sent to supplier and he either changes or confirms the supply qty Then if the qty. from the Heuristics result is more than what he can supply, the Heuristics run is rerun <u>"taking supplier capacity into consideration"</u>.
As far as I understand Heuristics, it is a qty. based rapid cross plat planning that do not take capacities into consideration. But here it's saying that the Heuristics is rerun taking capacities into consideration. That confuses me! Can somebody please explain this to me? What difference in the second run makes the Heuristics take capacity into consideration?
Thank you.

Hi Visu
SNP heuritics based planning involves heuristics(infinite) and heuristic based capacity levelling (with constraints) together.
the first run and second run are run with different settings. the first infinite and the second with the capacty constraint.
in the help page you refer to pl see point 2
also see point 8 on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/4a/563a18305211d3b6270000e82de178/content.htm -
you can set up capacity constraints and still run heuristics (the real meaning of heuristics being a set of rules)
the terms being used sure make it confusing

Finding of materials in scheduling agreement with more than 150 lines

Dear Experts,
we are in need to find materials in scheduling agreement with more than 150 lines. In standard SAP, materials can be searched only based on item Nos. is there a way we can search by material in ME38. also we noticed that find icon is greyed out in ME38.
Please suggest.
One more request is, to create an uplaod program for maintaining delivery schedules for multiple SAs.
please sugegst if this is feasible.
Regards
Raghavendra MS
9886138875

I am also curious if anyone has found a solution to this problem.
We routinely have scheduling agreements that are hundreds of line items. Users find it difficult to find the line item they wish to work with. It would be helpful if we could search by material number or sort the line items by material.
As Raghavendra mentioned (ctrl+F) functionality is not available in ME33L or ME38.
Thanks.

Scheduling Agreement with LPA

Hi,
I am trying to generate schedule lines and release them to delivery schedules with doc type LPA.
I have done the settings in MRP2 view and done the settings in source list, info record and scheduling agreement.
I have created and Plnd Independent requirements in MD61 and executed the planning run in MD02 but unable to create schedule lines.
Could you please advise me if i am missing any settings or config's.
I wan to know how the zones work with LPA and how the whole cycle and the functions available with LPA.
Responses will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Mittu G

hi
These are the Prerequisites befor you go on to SA with release
Scheduling agreement releases (FRC and JIT schedules) can only be generated for scheduling agreements with release documentation (in the standard system, document type LPA).
(In the standard system, the Release docu. indicator is selected for document type LPA in Customizing for Purchasing under
Scheduling Agreement -> Define Document Types.)·
If you wish to work with JIT delivery schedules, the JIT schedule indicator must be set in the material master record (Purchasing or MRP 2 view) and the Additional data of the scheduling agreement item.
You create SA releases by means of the Purchasing menu via
Scheduling agreement -> Create release
Choose release type ->FRC and JIT delivery schedulesSelect scheduling agreements - Specification of plant
Scope of selection- Changed or next date
Creation- According to strategy in profile, Tolerance check active
On the days on which the next FRC date (1st. Monday in the month) or the next JIT date (Monday each week) is reached, scheduling agreements with the above profile settings are selected and SA releases (delivery schedules to be issued to the vendor) created (because the next creation date has been reached).

Consumption-based Planning Question

Dears,
I am working on a presentation for a client in order to help them to decide which SAP Planning Tool should be implemented.
Since it is not a production company and it can be considered closer to a wholesale or retail one my question are related to CBP and SCM:
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)? Are they independent? Could it be advisable?
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant. Has CBP the same constraint?
Thank you very much for your help.
L.C.

L.C.,
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)?
Not exactly. You will have to do some customization in ERP regardless of whether you additionally implement SCM planning, because all of the execution is done in the OLTP (ERP).
Are they independent?
If you mean are ERP and SCM independent, the answer is yes, they are independent. You can run SCM without ERP, and you can run ERP without SCM.
Could it be advisable?
Good question. Depends on your point of view. Establishing a new implementation of CBP is a substantial project. Adding on an implementation of SCM means additional complexity. The payoff is more features. The client has to choose.
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant.
Neither MRP nor CBP planning can create stock transport orders, they create stock transport requisitions. CBP does not have any more or less restrictions than MRP as far as the creation of stock transport orders or stock transport requisitions are concerned. STR/STOs between storage locations became possible starting, I believe, in ECC 5.0. R/3 4.7 did not support this feature.
Sounds like you are going to need a bit of help with your presentations. The following site contains quite a few high level presentations about SCM planning you might want to incorporate into your presentation:

Difference between MTO/MTS vs Consumption Based Planning?

Hi,
What is the Difference between MTO/MTS vs Consumption Based Planning?.
In what scenario we used these types?? could you please explain me with examples...
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
MTS = Make to stock, you are simply wanting to build up stock and so this will generate requirements even if there are no Sales orders or demand of any kind. This is the most common option
MTO = make to order, you only want these items when there is a specific
But consumption based planning is not completely different, you are still using MTS / i.e. you are creating requirements based on the settings in MRP instead of any demand (but the same applies to MTS)
So MTS and consumption based planning are more or less the same thing.
You would use MTO if you produce items only when you have an order.
So if you have warehouse space and sell a lot of an item, you can use MTS or consumption based planning because you know that you will always be likely to be able to sell the stock.
If you make things for specific orders (such as special sizes or specifications to match the customer's requirements. Or if you don't sell many of an item and the lead times for production are very short (or you don't have much warehouse space) then you would wait for an order before making the item (MTO

Scheduling Agreement with Kanban

I was looking in to the forum and as per my understanding FRC and JIT schedule, On the days on which the next FRC date (1st. Monday in the month) or the next JIT date (Monday each week) is reached, scheduling agreements with the above profile settings are selected and SA releases (delivery schedules to be issued to the vendor) created (because the next creation date has been reached).
In my case I like to aggregate the requirment daily and send to the vendor end of everyday .What setting I need to do and what will be the process.I am using this functionality with KANBAN.
thanks in advance

Eduardo,
We already decided to use Kanban with Scheduling agreement. We have some MRO parts which we move from one Main storage location to another storage location in production area and once someone will scan the main storage location and if it hits the reorder point it will generate the external scheduling agreement to the vendor. If we have agreement for different parts with same vendor it will combine all the parts in one scheduling agreement and the other thing business want send these scheduling agreement to vendor on the same day not in 14 days or once in a week.
Please let me know how what I have to do to achieve this functionality and we are using LPA agreement.
Thanks

Error in modifying Schedule Agreement with reference to contract

I have created a Schedule Agreement with reference to a contract manually.The contract is of type MK, while the SA is of type LP.
The contract contains one Material which was successfully added to the SA.
Now I am trying to automate the same using BAPI BAPI_SAG_CHANGE. This causes a short dump in the system -
Runtime Errors       MOVE_CAST_ERROR
Exception              CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR
Short text              Dynamic type conflict when assigning references
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR', was not caught in procedure "GET_CREQS" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause. Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the exception would occur, the current program is terminated. The reason for the exception is: It was tried to assign a reference to a rereference variable using the
    'CAST' operation ('?=' or 'MOVE ?TO'). However, the current content of the source variable does not fit into the target variable.
    source type: "\FUNCTION-POOL=MEOUT \CLASS=LCL_OUT_ITEM_SA"
    target type: "\FUNCTION-POOL=MEOUT\CLASS=LCL_OUT_ITEM_CON"
Information on where terminated:
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLMEOUT" - in "GET_CREQS". The main program was "RS_TESTFRAME_CALL". In the source code you have the termination point in line 105 of the (Include) program "LMEOUTP2F". The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_MOVE_CAST_ERROR" occurred in procedure "GET_CREQS" "(METHOD)", but it was neither handled locally nor declared in the RAISING clause of its signature. The procedure is in program "SAPLMEOUT "; its source code begins in line 101 of the (Include program "LMEOUTP2F ".
The following data was populated before calling the BAPI:(along with itemx table also)
item-item_no
item-agreement
item-agmt_item
The entire logic consists of updating the contract first with a new line item and then adding a line item in SA with reference to the new item in the contract.
The contract updation is working correctly [BAPI_CONTRACT_CHANGE].

Hi Bahrat,
I am also facing the same issue now. Is this issue resolved for you?
Please send the threads if any.
Can anyone plz respond for the issue?

Scheduling agreement with relase - doc type LPA with JIT

Hi
can any one give the steps for Scheduling agreement with relase - doc type LPA with JIT process.. and explain how the JIT will work in SA.
Pls advise what are config required and what the user tcode needed to perform the SA with JIT concept.

Dear Friend,
Without release documentation(Document type LP)
The delivery schedule lines have official character-that is to say,they are transmitted to the vendor as they are saved in the system.The system does not document in detail releases aganist the scheduling agreement that have been sent to the vendor.Therefore,in the case of the document type without release documentation,the message control facility should be set up in such a way that a message is immediately sent to vendor if any changes are made to the delivey schedule stored in the system.
With release documnetation(Document type LPA)
If you use scheduling agreement with release documentation,the delivery schedule lines are not transmitted directly to the vendor.Intially ,the lines of the delivery schedule stored in the system for an LPA scheduling agreement for an internal information only.A message informing the vendor of your material requirements cannot be transmitted to the vendor until you explicitly create an SA release,that is forecast (FRC) or Just in Time(JIT) delivey schedule.Through this process,you can change the way schedule lines are represented.With release documentation,you can disply the SA releases(delivery schedules) transmitted to a vendor over a certain period of any time.This enables you to trace precisely when you sent which information to vendor.
