APO Planned Order

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with the generated planned orders whenever i run location heuristic. It produces planned orders more than the demand. I have Push deployment Horizon defined, and also Pull deployment Horizon both at 150days. But in the Deployment Profile, Push Distribution, Pull is defined. Could it be because of that?
I really hope that you can help me.
Many thanks.
Best Regards,
Ria

Hi Ria,
I am a little confused looking at this post.
The deployment settings have got nothing to do with SNP location heuristics.
The amount of planned order generated is based on the lot size profile and the rounding defined in the material master lot size tab.
Deployment settings are only effective for the deployment part of the planning.
I am also confused looking at your comment: "I also noticed that there are no requirement pegged to the snp planned orders created. Only the ppds planned orders."
You mean the SNP and PPDs orders are created for the same horizon?? This is impossible.
If you have a SNP order generated based on a forecast and then a PPDS run is done, the PPDS order deletes and replaces the SNP order. They don't co-exist.
Unless created manually you should see all system generated receipts to be pegged to requirements in pegging tab in product view (RRP3).
Please clarify so that I can may be clarify.

Conversion of Planned order in APO

Hi there ,
I am SAP PP consultant & learning APO ...... I will ask many question that may sound very simple but please excuse me.
As per my undrestanding we can create planend order in APO & then transfer that to R/3 or other way we can do the conversion to production order also in APO & then tranfer that in R/3.......
What is the relative advantage & disadvantage of both the methods.....
Please suggest me

Hi,
Just to clarify, the transfer of data from the execution system (SAP R3) to the planning system (APO) depends on the configuration and settings carried out in the two integrated systems.
When an APO planned order is converted into an R/3 production order, certain APO and R/3 data is merged. During this merge, certain information from the APO planned order is copied to the production order.
When the data has been merged, the production order has been saved and, if necessary, the R/3 planned order has been deleted, the R/3 order number is returned to APO (assuming there is an active CIF integration model for production orders). This ensures that orders in SAP R/3 and SAP APO are known by the same order number. An order that is created in SAP APO and published to SAP R/3 is assigned its own number in SAP R/3. The number that is assigned in SAP R/3 is always different to the existing order number in SAP APO. The R/3 order number is sent back to SAP APO and assigned to the original order.
This return process is carried out for planned orders and manufacturing orders.
If an order is transferred from SAP APO to SAP R/3 and is assigned its final order number there then the order is automatically sent back from SAP R/3 to SAP APO so that the order number assigned by SAP R/3 is also available in SAP APO. This process is called key completion.
In some cases it may also be necessary to return the order number to SAP APO if no new order number is assigned in SAP R/3, for example if components have been added in the production order.

PPDS Planned orders with setup driving requirements in R/3

Hi Gurus -
We plan Finished Goods and Semi-FG in APO and send the planned and process orders over to R/3. We use the change-over matrix(set-up)matrix to create the set-up times for the finished good planned orders.
For a material I have 24 hours change-over time. Lets say material runs on tuesday 3 PM, the setup time is 24 hours before that.
Setup time: Monday 3 PM to Tuesday 3 PM
Run Time: Tuesday 3PM onwards.
Unfortunately the Packaging requirements are being shown on Monday itself. While I have setup or change-over time, I don't really need the packaging materials on monday. So what can we do to avoid this?
Basically as soon as the APO planned order hits R/3, the BOM in R/3 is being exploded based on the order start date/time and not based of actual runtime of the order.
For MRP folks, its misleading since the packaging items are not really needed on monday.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi Varun,
Have you mapped setup and run as two activities in same resource or seperate operations all together.
If compoenents are assigned to run then are dates getting calculated correct ly in APO and only getting chaged in ECC?
In ECC there is configuration for production/process order under scheduling parameters for production order where you can decide whether component should be assigned to run activity or set up activity but unfortunately this config is not available planned order.
If you have defined set up and run as seperate operation then there shold not be problem check config in ECC
Define scheduling parameters for planned order- adjust dates- adjust schduling should be adjust basic date and dependent requirement to operation date.

Date Mismatch of Planned Orders and Production Orders in APO & ECC

Dear APO Experts
When i am performing /SAPAPO/CCR , we are getting errors for Few Materials
Please kindly advice.
Following error for Planned Orders:
Order 0026037355 difference for receipt date: 06.02.2012 01:05:53(APO) <-> 04.02.2012 01:05:53
Message no. /SAPAPO/CIF161
Diagnosis
Order 0026037355 for material yyyy has a different receipt date in SAP APO and SAP R/3:
Receipt date in SAP APO: 06.02.2012 01:05:53
Receipt date in SAP R/3: 04.02.2012 01:05:53
Procedure
This data inconsistency can be rectified by choosing Send to R/3.
Note that the receipt date of the primary product is compared without taking into account the goods receipt processing time between SAP APO and SAP R/3.
Note the following if this message is issued for production/process orders:
In SAP APO, if the receipt date of the primary product deviates from the end date of the last activity of the order (for example, due to an offset or scheduling at the end of a fixed block), the receipt date always identifies this as inconsistent. You cannot rectify inconsistencies of this type by using the reconcile provided in the CIF compare/reconcile function.
In this case, you should deactivate the receipt date comparison. Alternatively, you can activate the order end date comparison if the primary product is assigned to the final operation.
Procedure for System Administration
You can use the business add-in /SAPAPO/CIF_DELTA3 Enhancements Comparison Report to deactivate individual comparisons.
In SAP Note 645597, you can find example coding with which you can activate the order end date comparison.
Following Error for Production Orders:
Order 000100163960 difference for receipt date: 14.01.2012 08:30:00(APO) <-> 23.01.2012 18:29:59

Hi,
Kindly check the SAP note mentioned on the message. Or you may reconcile the data by selecting the "send to APO" or "send to ECC" button on thhe CCR.
Also please check oss # 453244 if its releveant to your current system, otherwise please disregard.

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,

Error while creating manual planned order in apo

Dear expert
While I am creating manual planned order i am getting error as message /sapapo/rrp251
Every thing is correct BOM and PV's no error after consistency check and it getting succesfully transffered to APO and it is also visible in APO
But while creating manual planned orders planned order are not getting generated I am using BLock planning with PPDS
Please help How to resolve it
Regards
Virender

Hi
The error message /SAPAPO/RRP251 - Error occurred while creating order means While creating an order, the system encountered problems, such as, for example, no available components or components that are available late, orders that could not be scheduled, and so on.
I think system attempted to solve the availability problems by using alternative procurement options. This was not successful. The order could not be created. Check the exceptional situations in the planning protocol, under Goto -> Planning log, and deal with the causes of the exceptional situations if this is possible or necessary.
Thanks

How to find out manual deletion of planned orders in APO.

Planned orders are created on multiple bom levels when we call CTP from GATP for sales orders. For particular sales order there is no planned ordere at lower level. Dependent requirement is there which is uncovered.
I want to find somebody has deleted this planned order manually in apo. How to find out the same?
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
If you suspect that the planned order was created but later on deleted manually, there is a cross check you can do to determine that.
In case of MATP, System uses the higher level Planned Order number to create the Dependent Demand at the lower level and only when this dependent demand is covered by a planned order it assigns the corresponding planned order number to it. So if you see the dependent demand number with same number as the higher level planned order for which it was created, you can be sure that a planned order was not created to cover the dependent demand that you see uncovered.
If the dependant demand number is not same as the planned order at higher level, then the planned order to cover the dependent demand was deleted.
I guess CTP also works the same way. If you're unsure about this, test it out.
Hope it helps.

Mohan

Automatic creation of planned order in APO

Dear Gurus,
I originally posted this in PP and SD, however, it does now seem to be APO related.
Hence my posting here. Can you help? This is the question:
"How can we prevent that APO immediately creates a planned order when the purchase requisition is put in the system.
(apparently they set up the system as such that a flow then starts and automatically transforms the planned order into a production order).
We want to prevent APO to automatically create a planned order from the purchase req, we only want a planned order at a later stage, i.e. the finalised purchase order.
If a setting like this exists, can we activate this per plant?"
Thanks!

Hello there,
The control that you mentioned can be maintained at a product level, which is more granular than what you have asked for. Refer to the PP/DS tab of the product master and you will find a filed for PP planning procedure, which determines various actions that PP/DS executes for a specifi type of event. There are standard planning procedures (procedures 1-9) and ofcourse you can configure your own procedures as well.
The configurations here define if your dependents requirements have to created immediately or just a planning file entry has to be created or a product heuristic has to be started immediately or no action has to be taken!
Refer to below link for more info:

Read the characteristics of a planned order in APO

how can we read the characteristics of a planned order in APO.What Function Module can be used for this?
how can we manually schedule the order activities based on the characteristics. Can we use the function module
/SAPAPO/OM_ACT_SCHEDULE by copying and making some changes in it for this purpose?

Hi,
if there are any orders in your system with characteristics (in planning version 000) then this report will find them:
report get_char.
data:
   ls_genp     type /sapapo/om_gen_params,
   lt_orderid type /sapapo/om_orderid_tab,
   lt_char     type /sapapo/om_charact_val_tab.
ls_genp-simversion = '000'.
call function '/SAPAPO/OM_ORDER_GET_ALL'
exporting
    is_gen_params = ls_genp
    iv_simsession = ''
importing
    et_orders     = lt_orderid.
call function '/SAPAPO/OM_ORDER_GET_DATA'
exporting
    is_gen_params       = ls_genp
    iv_simsession       = ''
    it_order            = lt_orderid
importing
    et_charact_val_acts = lt_char.

SNP planned order deleted in APO, but not in R/3.

OK Guru's,
We have a situation where during the weekend SNP planning runs, SNP Planned orders are deleted in APO, but the order is never deleted in R/3. The change pointer is not in CPP and there are no failed queues. Also, when you run CCR on planned orders, we will get an error on some orders saying "Not in APO" and the only option to reconcile that order is to "Send to APO". The option that should exist is "delete in R/3" becuase the deletion never occured in R/3.
If you send the order back to APO, the order will show in the "Production Confirmed" line of the Planning Book. This is because APO is thinking that this order is an order that was created in R/3 when in fact is it really is a SNP planned order.
Any clues to why this would happen?
thanks,
Brian

How are you getting the SNP Planned Orders to R/3 in the first place.
If you are transferring them using /SAPAPO/RRP7 then I guesss its a manual transfer and system does not consider SNP Planned Order deletion flag relevant for transfer to R/3.
You will need to look into CIF enhancement to send the deletions to R/3.
Normally SNP Planned Orders are not relevant for transfer to R/3 unless its replaced or converted to a PPDS planned order.

SNP planned order availability date difference between APO and ECC

Hi,
I have observed that SNP Planned order availability date is not matching between APO and ECC. Details are as follows.
I ran SNP Optimizer with bucket offset of 0.5. After publishing the optimizer created planned orders to ECC, only start date is matching.
Example:
I am using PDS as a source of supply.
Fixed production activity in SNP PDS is 1 day.
GR processing time: 3 day
After running optimizer planned order is created with dates explained below.
Start date/time: 09.05.2011 00:00:00
End date/time: 12.05.2011 23:59:59
Availability date: 16.05.2011 00:00:00
Because of bucket offset defined as 0.5 optimizer planned order availability is start of next monday.
After publishing this planned order to ECC dates on the planned order is as follows.
Start date: 09.05.2011
End date: 09.05.2011
Availability date: 12.05.2011
I have not maintained any scheduling margin key in ECC. Also if I dont define the GR processing time, planned dates between APO and ECC always match. Can anyone explain the impact of GR time on the availability date.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkadesh,
What's "state stamp"? Do you mean different time zone?
note : 645597 mentioned by Nandha is very helpful:
In standard, CCR will use duedate - "the available date of the output product".
Nandha's words "In SAP APO, if the receipt date of the primary product deviates from the
end date of the last activity of the order, the receipt date
always identifies this as inconsistent. You cannot rectify
inconsistencies of this type by using CCR."
I guess in your PDS or PPM, the output product is not assigned to the End of the last activity. Someone changed it?
Please CIF the PDS or PPM again.
If you really want to apply a note, please use note 815509 as you're using planned order,
and system will use order end date in CCR instead.
GR time is always considered. BR/Tiemin

Create Planned order based on qty in APO or SCM

Hi All,
I am working product view in APO or SCM system .
Requirement is create new planned order with sales order individual length and planned order pegged to sales order in APO system.
Example
Sales order has factor 4 and individual length 1000( 4 x 1000 ). Total quantity is 4000M.
We need to create 4 planned orders. Each Planned order has a quantity of 1000M.
Please help me and let me if any function module is there.
Thank you,
Durga Vinta

Hi All,
Thank you so much for your response.
I have placed a X pushbutton in product view- > Element tab.
If the user presses X then screen will display with sales order information based on Factor
Example Sales order has 4 x 1000 = 4000M
Factor individual length
1         1000
1         1000
1         1000
1         1000
If the user selects the 1st and 2nd and presses save button. We need to create two planned order for sales order. Each planned order has 1000 qty.
Please let me know if any function module or BAPI in APO system.
Thank you,
Durga Vinta

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....

Planned order to production order conversion in APO

Hi Gurus,
Can you please tell me how i can convert planned order into production order in APO? How that production order will be transfer to ECC?
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hello Rajib,
The following are required -->
1. Active Intergration Model for production orders in R/3 .
2. Distribution definition (T.Code /sapapo/cp1) in APO.
3. Retransfer settings (optional, read the F1 help here,before setting one) (T.code /sapapo/cp3)
Also make right setting for transfer for inhouse production in /sapapo/rrpcust1 in APO.
Then create a planned order and check the "Conversion indicator" in the product view (/sapapo/rrp3). or use transaction /sapapo/rrp7 to convert orders in mass.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Pls help - Urgent - Planned order transfer from APO to R/3 - inconsistency

Hello experts ,
         Iam creating planned orders in APO using CTM planning. The planned order is getting transferred to R/3 but the order number is different in APO and R/3 .
         I tried deleting the application logs in R/3 and APO using transactions CFGD and C6 and running CTM planning again. But it did not work.
        Kindly suggest a solution. Thanks

As other members adviced
Please check the following as a list
1) Check first fi the Material is in APO relevant
2) Check if it has active integration model in cfm5 (R/3)
3) Check if the material has no blocked queues in /n/sapapo/cq (APO)
If there are any blocked queues please clear them accordingly.
4) After that perform a reconciliation of the transactional data through.
/n/sapapo/ccr(APO). perform it only for that material and on planned orders.
If there are any errors it will usggest you to follow few steps.
5) then again go back and check the /n/sapapo/cq transaction.
6) Check if the material and its location has publication Types maintained in SPRO transaction.
7) Check if the change pointers of this Planned order exists in /n/sapapo/c5
This si change pointers transaction , soemtimes you can release ti from there also.
If you still have problem, give the resutls of the following for reference.
Let us know once you perform all these.
8) Incase you need to perform the consistency checks externally.
