Alternative item quantity greyed out on Production order creation

I'm creating a production order. One of the materials in the BOM uses an alternative, the discontinuation indicator = 1 on material MRP4 view.
The production order is using the alternative which is ideal, but the quantity for the alternative is greyed out so the quantity cannot be changed? Ordinarily the quantity for a component in a production order can be changed. Can the quantity field be configured so it changeable for alternatives? Where is the discontinuation indicator configured please?
Thanks in advance.

In the production order both the original and the alternative material are listed. The original item has a blank qty in the field and the alternative has the required qty (greyed out though), say qty 10.
If I want to issue say just 8 of the alternative and 0 of the original , why would I enter a qty for the original material? The shop floor found 2 hanging around so I want to change the alternative qty to 8 if possible, and thats all I wish to issue against this production order.
Thanks for your help

Change Alternative Item Quantity in Production Order BOM

Hi Gurus,
I woould like to ask how can I make the Alternative item quantity to become editable. As of now, the system will calculate the percentage in the BOM and default it in the Production order.
Now I have a requirement that in the Production order Change, the user can change the quantity of the Alternative Item based on the situation with out changing the BOM. Just change in the production order. What settings do i need to change?
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
Can you let us know why you want the user to make the changes manually ?
Not in front of the system at the moment, but just do an Av. Check to see if you're able to get the switch if the stock situation has changed for the alternative items.
Based on what i know, the field will not be editable & there is no specific setting to make it editable.

Vivek

Print out of production order from co02

Hi All,
How do I take a print out of production order from co02. If I go to co02- Functions-Print- I get an error that after the next update the order will be printed. Since the production order is already in the released state how do I take the print.

Priya,
What system is prompting is that once you use the print function in the change mode of the order, system prints the papers to Spool or Printer once it is saved, that is the reason it is giving you a message.
Please save the order after using the Print function in the change mode of the order, I am sure that you would get the print output either directly to the printer configured or to spool. If it was configured for spooling, use the transaction SP01/SP02 to print the spool request.

Can sales order line item text be replicated into production order

Hi
Can sales order line item text be replicated to production order through standard PP configuration? If so how can it be done?
If that is not possible through standard configuration then can it be possible to read both sales order line item information and production order information using a BAPI or a program?
Please help me, i have been trying hard for this and also searches sdn for relevant posts but could not find any, I thank all people who can help me with some information on this.
Regards,
Jessica

Sample code:
DATA:
wa_order_objects    TYPE bapi_pp_order_objects.
DATA:
it_order_header     TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapi_order_header1.
*--Setting Flag to get details of BAPI
wa_order_objects-header         = c_x.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PRODORD_GET_DETAIL'
    EXPORTING
      number           = "Order number"
      order_objects    = wa_order_objects
    TABLES
      header           = it_order_header.

'Repeat Subform for Each Data Item' is greyed out

Hi there,
I need to make a certain subform repeatable but the 'Repeat Subform for Each Data Item' is greyed out. It's parent subform is not greyed out so I can make this repeatable but this is not the requirement.
Is there another setting that prevents a subform from being repeatable?
Many thanks,
Kieran Kelly

I guess you need to set the set the content flowed instead of positioned for which subform you want to repeat.
Click on the subform you want to repeat in the hierarchy panel , then in the object panel click on the content and set in the flowed format.
Hope it helps .
Thanks.

APO: RRP3 automate Production order creation from planned order ?

Hi everyone ,
I have got a business requirement in APO where in Open sale orders uploaded in R/3, needs to be converted to Planned order and subsequently to Production order in APO-PPDS tcode RRP3 at all stages. They want to automate this process rather than doing it
manually.
Can anyone tell how is this possible . Any BAPI or function module available to do this . Please help.
Regards,
Syed

Hi,
1.You need to run the heuristics Planning of standard lots SAP_PP_002 in /SAPAPO/CDPSB0 by specifying the time profile
and strategy profile, planning version and propagation range, product and location.
2. Convert PPDS Planned Orders created to process orders thru /SAPAPO/RRP7 by specifying the product location start date of the order for production order creation.
Out put of step 1- For sales order requirement, PPDS Planned orders gets created.
Out put of step 2- PPDS Planned orders are converted to production orders.
Thanks,

Selection Of BOM & Routing at the time of production order creation

Hi guys,
Please clarify how i can go about for the following mentioned scenario
I have one Master BOM(Finished Product Level) & alternative BOMs for that,similarly i have one Master Routing & alternate routings for the same finished product
At the time of production order creation is it possible for me to choose one of the BOMs & One of the routings of that particular finished product without creating a production version?
Awaiting for a quick response
Vijai

Hi vijai prasad shanmugam ,
In the material master MRP-4 view under the BOM selection you can maintain on what fatcors you want the BOM to be selected Viz. Selection by order quant.,Selection by explosion date.Selection by production version etc.
As far as the master recipe is concerned ........ I guess that if there are more than one valid master recipe maintained then SAP will prompt to select the one manually.........
But it the standard practice to maintain the production version ....... for the similar situation to the one that you have mentioned.
Please Let me know if I can help you in any way regarding this........
Please reward the points......... in you find the ans helpful.....
Thanks

Thanks in advance
Dhanabal T

Hi Michal,
I know that it is the old thread but still want to get clarified from you out of curiosity.
Unlike other IDOC, i actiavated change pointers for LOIPRO
1.message and idoc type is linked
2.function module , message type , idoc type is linked
function module used is CLOI_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_LOIPRO
3.BD64, distribution model is created and distributed
4. port and partner profile is in place.
5. IDOC is not getting generated after creating the process order.
do we need to activate the change documents for the message type in BD52,
if yes can you please provide the object types for the same.
or i am missing something else. please guide me in this regards.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Manual production order creation in MTO

Dear collegues,
I am stuck in a scenario:
I have a finished item A. strategy 20 is used.I created sales order for A in plant 1000. MRP run in plant 1000 happens. Through special procurement key 40, system generates planned order in plant 2000. Planned order is converted to production order. I can see in assignment tab of production order, Production plant is 2000 and planning plant is also 2000. Till here it is ok. I will do GR against production order in plant 2000 and through SD route I will send it to Plant 1000.
But when I create manually production order in CO08, always system sets in assignment tab of Production order , production plant as plant 2000 and planning plant as 1000. How to avoid this? Why manual production order is not like MRP generated planned u2013production order?
Kindly help.
Regards.

Give below a try in sandbox (Not from experience, so not sure if it works):
At the time of production order creation, maintain the production plant in Sales Order & ensure the demand flow to MRP is switched off at schedule line (If you're not sure, take help of your SD person).
The order created in CO08 should now have production & planing plant as same. Once that is done, switch back the plant in Sales Order & release the demand to MRP. (I hope the cut over plan has addressed the sales & MRP flows, so no inputs from my end)
If the above does not work, then revert with details.

Serial number in production order creation CO01 Transaction

Dear All,
we are maintaining serial numbers for each product by using serial number profile .
For some products we creating serial numbers automatically during production order creation.
For some products we are selecting predefined serial numbers from IQ03,during production order creation.
But some products , we are maintaining serial numbers in excel sheet ,when ever production order created , we used to copy the required
serial numbers from excel and pasting in CO01 serial no provision fields.Here it is allowing to paste 20 serial no's at a time, but we want to
give more than 20 serial no's at a time
please find the attached screen shots and provide solution
Production order creation
Execute Transaction : CO01
After entering qty , we usually go to Header and select serial numbers
then it will populate provision to enter serial number for 30 sets
Here we are entering required serial number manually fro few products
The serial number to be used for this production order against this product like below
M1001
M1002
M1003
M1004
M1005
M1006
M1007
M1008
M1009
M1010
M1011
M1012
M1013
M1014
M1015
M1016
M1017
M1018
M1019
M1020
M1021
M1022
M1023
M1024
M1025
M1026
M1027
M1028
M1029
M1030
Then we will copy all 30 serial number and try to past in below screen
But it allowing only 20 serial number at a time not for 30
After pasting 20 serial no's , user manually selecting remaining 10serial numbers and pating in the same screen by scrolling the page
For example if production order quantity is 500 , then user put serial numbers 25 times it consuming more time
Requirement:
System should allow to paste all serial numbers at a time
Regards
Satya

Hello Satya,
I checked this requirement and did not find anything relevant.Even for MIGO there is a note 1883420 - In the transaction MIGO only 6 serial numbers can be entered at the same time .So as per my view you can either
1. Create serial no's before hand which you want to paste from Excel or
2. Some custom/alternate development for CO01,discuss with your Abaper. or
3. Raise OSS messge to SAP.

How to ignore Assembly Scrap of MRP during Production order Creation

Hi All,
We want to ignore the Assembly Scrap maintained in MRP View during production order creation.
We are maintaining assembly Scrap for planning so we do not want to remove that.
Please let us know if any User exit is there during Production Order Creation.
Thanks,
Amit

Dear Amit,
Assume in CO01,once after entering the total order quantity the system proposes the scrap quantity field separately,now
remove this quantity for scrap field and press enter and once again adjust the total quantity and check for what quantity the
system is proposing the BOM components.
check whether this works for your requirement.

Production order creation , release and confirmation cycle

Hi All SAP Gurus,
I am trying to set Production order creation , release and confirmation cycle integrated to xMII.
I am sure there must be many among you who worked on this before.
So can you please share your experience.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
I'll give you what I have been using:
- Transferring orders to MII
You can trigger the orders by tcode POIT or an equivalent BAPI (BAPI CLOI_DOWNLOAD_TRIGGER_TRANS) or have the iDOC being sent automatically whenever someone creates a new production order in R/3 (using change pointers). In both cases you will receive an iDOC in XML format from SAP with the production order information on it. After receiving this file a BLS transaction will be required to read the XML file and store it in your local DB.
- Releasing orders from MII
You can release the orders from MII using the BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_RELEASE (it will update the order status in R/3 to REL). After that you might want to update the production order status in MII local DB as well. Usually I have the bapi BAPI_PRODORD_GET_DETAIL in place in order to read the production order details whenver I need.
- Doing confirmations from MII
After the PO was released, you can do confirmations against each operation using the BAPI BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT. You can send up to SAP good quantity, scrap quantity, labor/machine time, etc. It's a pretty intuitive BAPI.
If your system is not ready to do goods movement automatically you will need to use BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
This is basically what I use in this kind of project. If you have any questions please let me know.
Regards
Ricardo
