SNP Heuristics to generate planned orders

Hi all,
       I have the demand in months for five years & once demand came in i take Heuristics to generate the Planned orders.I have a specific requirement for a specific location  Heuristic that SNP Heuristic should generate planned orders only in month of January to March for all the five years.
I am using SNP PDS .The PDS do not contain resource.
Can you suggest a good solution for the above?.
thanks
Kumar

Hello,
1) SNP PDS Does not contain resource?
SNP pds contains resourse in line with PPM. Please check the Resource definition. It may not be of "Mixed type" hence SNP pds is genertaed w/o resourse.
Plz modify the resource definition & generate PDS afresh.
2) Order creation for limited period?
You can control this by using Factory calender assigned to resource or putting doen time for the period for which you want to restrict order generation. Hence Orders will be generated for the period for which resource is workin

  • SNP Heuristics deletes PP/DS orders and PIR's

    Dear Experts,
    We use a 4-day horizon for PP/DS and a 5-day horizon for SNP. Nevertheless, when standard location heuristic is run in SNP, PP/DS orders and Planned Independent Requirements are automatically deleted for first 4 days, working correctly from 5th day.
    Any suggestions to avoid this effect??
    Thanks in advance.
    Rafael.

    Hi,
    Heuristics should create Planned orders out 5 days, if this is happening then please check if the master data settings in SNP1 tab arte correctly defined. However PP/DS orders are firmed hence in no case be deleted. If that is happening please raise an OSS with SAP there may be some note which needs t be applied.
    Which APO Version are you currently in ?

  • Quota arrangement in R/3 for APO generated planned order materials?

    Quota arrangement for the planned order materials generated from APO and when
    it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF i.e.
    u2022 Once the Planned order is created in APO and when it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF u2013 the system will first check in the table(EQUK) against the material and plant whether there is any valid u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D(EQUK-QUNUM) .
    u2022 Then from the table (EQUIP) against the u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D the system needs to calculate the percentage quota(from QUOTE field) of the material concerned against each production version.
    u2022 Finally the Planned order of the material needs to be converted into more than one Planned orders as per the production versions and in the ratio as mentioned in the quota arrangement.
    Actually Functionality exists today in R/3 whereby MRP will generate more than 1 planned order if production version quota arrangements exist. For example if via MEQ1 a quota arrangement exists to split requirements 60-40 between production version 1 and production version 2 then MRP will generate 2 planned orders using the 60-40 split.
    Does this still occur if APO generates the order materials and CIFs it to R/3?
    *I mean I had a requirement where APO generated planned orders to be split automatically and the correct PVs(Production version EQUP-VERID) to be assigned if quotas(EQUP-QUOTE) exist in R/3 side??*
    please help me asap this will b really appreciated and high points will be given....

  • How to block changes in system generated Plan orders

    Hi,
    As after MRP RUN we get Planned order generated by the system,  with type LP  , I have a requirement that system generated plan order quanity cannot be cnhage by the user if plan order is generated for quanity 85  user should not make it 100 no quality chnages,  also the manual plan order type LP cannot be create manully it should be creat by system only,  and for manul other type of plan order type should be use,
    How to do this.
    regards,
    zafar

    Hi
    Firming can be used when you don't want certain planned orders to change during subsequent MRP runs.
    Say today you have created certain palnned orders.
    In a normal scenario, when you do the MRP run again, the planned order may get changed if the requirements have changed.
    However as a normal business practice, it is not desired to change the production plans everytime there is a change in the requirement...especially in the immediate future (maybe a week or so).
    We set this as the planning time fence depending on the MRP type settimg in the material master, you may have firm orders.
    MRP will also generate firm planned orders for materials with MRP type P1 to P4.
    In addition to the above, any planned order that is manually changed is also firmed.
    Hope this may help

  • After MD81- what will happen to already generated planned Order

    Dear Experts,
    I have few doubts,please check the details below.
    1.After MD81 for Finished Material, what will happen to already generated planned Order.
    2. For Standard finished material, can MTS material  planned order be clubbed and generate one planned order.?
    3.For standard Finished material, can MTO materials, planned order be clubbed and generate one planned order.

    Hi,
    MTO -
    The materials are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
    MTS -
    The materials are not assigned to specific sales orders.
    You can manufacture material and keep in stock without any customer requirement.
    Basically for MTS you need to use Strategy 10 and for MTO you need to use strategy 20 in material master.

  • PPDS Heuristics generated planned order

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to control the result of the PPDS heuristics, I want the planned orders generated by the heuristics falls on a specific day for its start date eg. Monday. My heuristic strategy is Infinite scheduling and time continuous capacity; also my lot size setting is weekly buckets and heuristic is Planning of Standard Lots.
    Is there a setting that will help me control the start date of planned orders result of PPDS heuristics?
    Appreciate your inputs
    thanks

    Since you are using Period Lot-Size, you can maintain a Planning Calendar in the Product Master (Lot-Size tab, Procedure subtab) and set the indicator "Use Period Factor" (also in Lot-Size tab, but in Quantity and Date Determination subtab).
    The planning calendar will, then, be used to propose the availability date of the newly created orders. The dates can still be changed because the capacity of the resources still has to be taken into account when the orders are scheduled, though.

  • Define start date in SNP interactive table of planned order

    hi,
    does anyone know how to control the start date and the scheduling of planned order created in the SNP interactive table?

    Hi Arieh,
    For SNP Pl.Order the standard SAP APO behavior is to control the availability date (End date).
    To control Start date you have to convert SNP Pl.Order in PP/DS Pl.Order. Then in the PPT1, production periodic view you can change by start date if you change the strategy to Forwards.

  • To generate planned orders throught MRP even without forecast/sales orders

    Goor morning, we should send long term plan forecast to the suppliers, but in the system we're able to see just few weeks demand (lng term horizon is not still implemented). Do you think is possible to generate some planned order as MTS policy (based on the past consumption), even without any sales order or forecast inside the system? Tks in advance

    1) create a Plan IN MD61 with inactive version select the period as you want & enter  W- week in initial screen
    2) create a plan In MS31 and assign the created in active version plan in MS32 assign the plant and activate  independent requirement
    3) Run MRP in MS01, system will create a plan order for LTP
    4) and do the evaluation for created plan order in MS38.

  • Where/ how do I set SNP to create Planned orders with multiple line items?

    Hi
    Currently our SNP is generating planned orders on a daily basis, it creates a single order with a single line item per location.
    Where/ how do set SNP to create planned orders on a daily basis to generate a single order with multiple line items per location, so therefore one planned order with multiple line items for a single location.
    Thanx
    Keegan

    Hi Keegan,
                   In SNP (APO) it is not possible to create order with multiple line items.
    But you can do some settings so that while planning system can do aggregation and disaggregation.
    But your requirment should be set on Aggregation/Dis-aggregation logic.
    Please follow the follwing links:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/2c/c557e9e330cc46b8e440fb3999ca51/content.htm

    You can't change aggregation/disaggregation logic further.

  • Planned orders not getting generated

    Hi friends,
    we are running material level MRP  MD02 (make to `order scenario).
    when we run MRP instead of generating planned orders, it is generating Purchase requisition . i can see purchase requisition generated instead of planned orders in MD04 screen.(we are facing problem with only one material).BOM of FERT Contains 3 HALB.all the mrp parameters have been maintained.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi
    1. Since you are telling it is MTO scenario you need to use the MD50
    2. Also in the MRP screen check the Create Purchase Reqn try the setting   "" 3     Planned orders"""
    3. As you have mentioned only for that particular material - kindly check if any scheduling margin key has been maintained. ??
    check and revert back

  • Planned order not getting generated at plant level

    Hi experts,
          When i run MRP for a particular plant in T- code (MD01) Planned order is not getting generated but when MRP is done against a material in T - code (MD02) in the same plant planned order gets generated... Is there any customizing  to generate planned order in plant level.....

    Edited by: joseph5885 on Aug 12, 2010 9:23 AM

    Dear Joseph,
    No it is not recommended. only in emergance cases this will be done
    Usually in MDRE and MDAB will be scheduled before MRP run at background for inconistancies in planning file enries
    So the above said t-codes will take care of the same

  • After firming planned order, new planned order is generating in MRP run

    Hi Experts,
    I am using SAP AFS. Planning strategy is 21- MTO with Project settlement. MRP type is PD. Lte size is EX. Procurement type is X.
    We are using the production versions. Individual / collective reqmts is 1. Planning time fence is not maintained.
    In sap AFS T.Code for MRP run is /n/afs/md02. After receiving the Sales order, MD04 screen gets updated accordingly and I am running the MRP.Planned orders are generated accordingly. I am firming the planned order manually through MD04. The satr mark is also appearing.
    My problem starts now. If I am running  the MRP again for the same requirements another planned order of the same qty. is getting generated. That means after the second MRP run, I am having two planned orders (one firmed plnd order) and second is the new planned order. My requirement is that MRP should not generate any new Plnd. order / PR's if there is no new Sales order.
    The parameters for MRP run are "1" for "Create PR's", '1" for "Plng Mode" and '"1" for "scheduling ".
    I have tried in all the possible ways, but of no use. Still new plnd order is generated after firming the 1st plnd. order in MRP run.

    Thanks all for your feedback..
    @ Vishal
    1. Yes, Both Old firmed planned order and newly generated planned order have the same grid value
    2. For both the planned orders :
    Special Stock is E u2013 Orders on hand,
    Consumption is V,
    Sales order is the same (As we are using MTO , Strategy 21) and same WBS element.
    3. First planned order is not in the assigned tab of MD04. This means that has been allocated to some object. u2013 I didu2019nt got this point. Can u please elaborate?
    @ Nikhil
    1. Quantity of sales order is not reducing after firming the sales order
    2. Account assignment category for both the planned orders is u201CZu201D - Indiv.cust./project
    I have made some more observations and found the following differences between the two planned orders
    From  MD04 , keep the cursor on corresponding planned order
    & click on upward arrow ( available on bottom side of the report).
    It will show what will be the originating requirements i e. for which requirements this planned order generated.
    For Firmed planned order it is taking me to screen u201CPegged Requirements
    u201D*And the following data is present:
    Planned dates: 04.07.2010
    MRP element No. 3100001185 (Sales Order No.)

  • Planned order and Purchase requistion both is generating in MRP

    Dear All,
    At the time of MRP explosion for Finished material, system is generating Planned order and purchase requistion, both,  for detailed material, (e.g. the BOM is a single level BOM). Whereas, I want to generate Purchase requistion for all. I am not getting that for which logic it generating Planned order as well as purchase requisition.
    Pl. explain.
    Thanks,
    Prasun.

    Hi Prasun
    The procurement proposal indicator dependes on the procurement type assigned in material master. If you assign prod Type F it will automatically generate PR. If the procurement type is E or X the system will generate plan order .
    This configured in Plan order type LA means it should be for in house production E.
    There are two ways of solving this. If you want always PR for FERT. Assign Proc type F in material master MRP view. It will always generate PR for that particular material.
    Or
    You can run MRP with planning mode 3 create PR in front screen.

  • How to have a default generated operation in a Planned Order

    Dear Sir,
    We execute MRP run to generate dependent Planned Orders for a FERT having multi-level BOM . In the BOM there may be few components against which the Routing has not been defined .
    So we desire that generated Planned Order should have a default operation against those components which have no routing available .
    Kindly guide us as how can we achive the same .
    With Thanks & Rgds
    B Mittal

    Dear Mittal ,
    I will be interted to know about your material structure based on the BOM Level :
    For an exmaple : FERT-HALB-RAW .There may be as many HALAB , RAW as per your business process.
    For any FERT/HALB if this has to be produced in-house , generally , it should have valid BOM as well valid routing with sequence of operation and BOM compoenet assinged to those operation because , when you will run MRP-MD02 , it will generate Planned Order for both and subsequncelt it will allow you to convert the planned Order to Production Order .In case , routing is missing or BOM is mssing , while converting planned order to PO ( FERT/HALB) , it will flag you exception masg and ask you to create the same before proceed farther  or you can generate Operation based on the Option refelected while productioin order conversion .
    we desire that generated Planned Order should have a default operation against those components which have no routing available -As you stated , if there is no routing avaliable for those component ( must be HALB /FERT) , there will not be any Routing copied to Planned Order in Master Data Tab  when running MRP in MD02.Basically  , in your case , Planned Order of FERT will be having routing with operation where as Planned Order for BOM compoenet which are HALB  , will not be having any routing master data .U have generate operation or create routing beofre conversion of production order .
    Hope it is clear
