ASCP in 11i Discrete Mfg

Hi,
We are upgrading from 10.7 NCA to 11i. We are going to implement ASCP in 11i, and we'd like to know if anyone else has done it!
Our plan at this stage is to run the ASCP planning in a single global instance on a single server cluster. Has anyone done this? I know Oracle recommend a separate server but we think this is only really for user who want a multiple instances and/or 10.7 and 11 instances to be included.
Any comments, ideas, war stories etc would be much appreciated.
I will post how we get on as the project progresses.
Thanks
Mark

We are still looking at implementing ASCP. Any words of wisdom? You know our environment and you know the software. What are the gotchas?

Process loss in Discrete mfg.

Hi experts,
My Input material (raw material) for a product is 40g and the out put (Finished product) weight is 20g. where we will show the material loss in discrete mfg. MTO Or MTS manufacturing scenario.

Hi,
There are two parts in scrap posting:
1) Inventory
2) Costing
If there is no physical scrap generation or no inventory recording of scrap is required as well as there is no cost credit of scrap material is involved then you can simply maintain BOM data as 4 kg of SFG for 2 kg of FG. So, if backflush is activated then during confirmation of 2 kg FG as yield system will issue 4 kg of SFG.
If inventory of scrap material needs to be recorded or cost credit of scrap material to FG production is required then you need to:
Step 1) Apart from SFG maintain material master data for scrap material (not sure backflush require or not)
Step 2) Along with SFG component maintain scrap material as component for FG BOM but with -ve quantity (i.e. - 2 kg of scrap material for 2 kg of FG)
As scrap material is maintained as component in FG BOM, system will add one row for scrap material receipt in Goods Movement list during confirmation. And system will also credit cost of scrap material to production/process order (debit SFG component cost).
Try this and if require get back with your query.
Bye for now,
Devang

What is Discrete Mfg and MTO,MTS

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell What is discrete mfg. And what is MTO and MTS in Discrete Mfg.
Thanks
Kevin

Discrete Manufacturing pertains to industry which frequently switches the manufactured products for eg: Speciality Electrical products, Heavy engineering products(Pressure vessels, Fermentors etc), Computer assembly etc. So every product you make in discrete manufacturing industry will have different components, work centers, routings etc. This is in contrast to repetitive / process industry where the product configuration and process remain fairly constant over a period of time.
MTO (Make to Order):
In make-to-order production (strategy 20), every sales order is planned individually and managed in its own segment in the MRP list or the current stock/requirements list.
The system does not perform a net requirements calculation between individual sales orders or with the anonymous warehouse stock.
The lot-for-lot order quantity is used as the default setting for the lot-sizing procedure, regardless of the entry you have made in the material master record. You define the lot-sizing procedure for make-to-order production in Customizing for MRP in the workstep "Checking the lot-sizing procedure" in the field "Lot-size calculation for MTO production". Depending on the setting of the lot-size indicator in the material master record, you can define a different lot size for make-to-order production from the one used in make-to-stock production.
MTO (Make to Stock):
The demand program is defined without reference to sales orders.
Sales orders are not relevant to MRP, but can be displayed for information purposes. You make this setting in the "No MRP" field in Customizing for the appropriate requirements class (workstep, "Defining Requirements Classes" in Customizing for SD).
Sales orders are covered by warehouse stock. In Sales and Distribution, you can carry out the availability check according to ATP logic. Material withdrawals for a sales order reduce this sales order's quantity.
The consumption of the demand program (that is of the planned independent requirements) is carried out at goods issue (the indicator "PIR reduction" in Customizing of the requirements class 30 must be set if you want to reduce the demand program when delivering to a sales order). The oldest planned independent requirement is reduced first according to the FIFO (first-in-first-out) principle using the requirement date. Future planned independent requirements are also reduced by goods issues, if allowed by the consumption mode and the forward consumption period.

11i Discrete Manufacturing with EDI

Has anyone implemented 11i Discrete manufacturing using EDI for their Order Import source?
Are there any problems to watch out for with 11i Order Management?
Thanks.

We intend to also implement EDI order import but I hve been unable to collect any information as to the completeness of EDI standard formats. Any information would be appreciated.
Current requirements are 810,830,850,855,860,865,846

Process Mfg and Discrete Mfg

Hi,
I want to know Wat is the basic difference between Process mfg and Discrete Mfg. ?
thanks in advance

hi namitha,
in both case prodcution is carried out as per production quantity
process industry has master data as follows
1. material master
2. bill of material
3. resource
4. master recipe
there is one more functionality in SAP PP PI is Process instruction sheet,
transaction data
1process order
and for descrite manufacturing
master data is as follows
1. material master
2. bill of material
3. work center
4. routing
transaction data
1 production order

What is diff between OPM modules, MFG Modules, discrete mfg modules, regular supply c

What is diff between OPM modules, MFG Modules, discrete mfg modules, regular supply chain modules.
As a techi guy I have worked on OM but not able to answer the difference between
please help
Thanks

Process and Discrete industries have some fundamental differences in their product development, materials, production procesess and planning procedures. Process industries need to deal with Variable Ingredients, By & Co-products, UOM are that are Material Specific. Multiple Recipes and Formulas are used to make a single product due to seasonality or plant equipment variations. Process industries need Lot, Grades, Potency, Shelf-life.
Manufacturing is different too...think of industries where materials are blended together like paints, or food products, beverages. Also unique is decomposition...breaking something apart, like a chicken into its components: legs, thighs, breasts etc and be able to track the costs.
The Oracle Process Manufacturing suite is capable of supporting all of these industry requirements.

Production Campaign in Discrete MFG

Folks,
I know it is possible to use/run Production Campaign Planning in PP-PI. However, I had a similar requirement to run production at certain work centers on a campaign basis. However, I'm running discrete production & not Process.
Because of the large set-up time involved we need to run set of certain finished products in an ascending sequence & then bring the line down in the exact opposite descending sequence (1ton, 3 ton, 5 ton while bringing it up & 5 ton, 3ton, 1 ton when taking it down). Can this be mapped without a Campaign?
Cheers

Hi Andy,
You can read more about this strategy in SAP help ....(Planning w/ a Planning Material and w/o MTO (63))
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_di46c2/helpdata/EN/a2/4e799a927d11d1800f00c04fadcb73/content.htm.
Apart from this, you will have do developments which will capture the campaign number (not available in standard SAP) against a group of planned orders which you have to choose manually and change dates manually and put in the campaign plan development screen. These planned orders will be the one which are generated for specific sales orders (if MTO) or collective planned order (if MTS).
So you need to generate a campaign number for this group of planned orders and execute and monitor your production against this number.
I hope this will give you thought direction .....you need to think in detail as to how you are going to map the development as you are better aware of your business scenario ..:)

Yogesh

Discrete Mfg

Hi Gurus
I m very much new in the world of Oracle Apps implementation. I got a responsibility of implementing discrete Manufacturing module for one of our client.
I m looking for a basic setup plus transactional level guidlines that can help me in implementing the same. i request to all of u to please help me on this. If u guys r having any kind of docs (Specially Planning part) thn please forward it on my mail. its [email protected] .
Looking for a positive response.
Regards ,
Saurabh

Soma, it is not clear if your 5 mt. Shell is another product, different from 2 mt. Shell. I hope it is a different product code.
a) work center: is the same work center (machines, people) used for producing the new material ? If so, no need to add a work center (unless some new service or activity is required when you produce 5 mt shell)
b) Routing: if standard values and operations are the same that inthe 2 mt product, so no need to change. Just add the new product in teh material assignment of the routing. If there are structural changes, so you will need to create a new routing, eventually using the new created work center (if necessary) .
LEt me know if I understood your issue.

hi
i agreed with u all , but iam doing goods recipt by MIGO WITH RESPECT TO ORDER BY MOVEMENT TYPE 101. i have tochange in controle key like pp01 , pp02,pp03 , in this control key i have to change as to conformation is required.
my reuirement is goods recipt by MIGO 101 with respect to order system should allow after operation conformation by co11n .befor conformation by co11n , system should not allow to goods recipt.
so pl tell me where i have to change in controle key .

Discrete scheduling help 11i

Looking for some creative use of standard functionality. Discrete manufacturer in what is a make to order and fabricate/purchase components to stock environment. Somewhat of a vertically integrated structure. We are in the process of implementing the 11i discrete manufacturing suite. Have four assembly divisions that sometimes feed one another to ship end product as well as sometimes ship end product out on their own under one roof. These assembly operations are being served by one central fabrication division also under same roof. In our current legacy system assembly has a way of assisting fabrication with priorities. If fabrication ran strictly by due date the assembly operations furthest past due would consume the majority of the resources. An example would be if Division A is 3 weeks behind and Division B is current Division A would get 3 weeks of parts even though they wouldn't have the capacity to assemble all the additional inventory. Division B would sit waiting for parts. Hopefully I am making sense to you so far. Is there any thoughts short of building a custom form and use of dff's to continue along these lines?

Michael-
1) Job is issued for 100 and at first operation
(shear) you realize that you can only make 85. There
are 3 more subsequent operations.You could reduce the job qty to 85 if for instance you decide to only make 85 because you only have components enough for 85.
2) Job is issued for 100 and after last operation
(plating) you have only 95 pieces coming out of
kettle.You should be issuing 5 pieces to scrap. This will account for all pieces and the job will close on it's own.
3) Job is for 100 and after kitting all components
you assemble only 85 pieces and deem job finished due
to other priorities.You could leave 15 in the kitting queue and change the status of the job to complete but of course you'll get a variance.

I had TAR with Metalink and we did go back and forth and could not resolve this issue till i found that the patch zip file p2133107_11i_SOLARIS.zip had the wfcoreb.sql and wfcores.sql script files for package spec and body which caused the problem.
Analyzing both spec and body, i found that the body had 4 parameters
procedure Get_Error(err_name out varchar2,
err_message out varchar2,
err_stack out varchar2,
maxErrStackLength in number default 4000);
whereas the spec had only 3 parameters.
procedure Get_Error(err_name out varchar2,
err_message out varchar2,
err_stack out varchar2)
Discrepancy between spec and body was the cause of the worker to fail. By adding the missing parameter i was finally able to continue with the install.
I even checked the latest update to this patch at Metalink and still find that the above error is not fixed.

In-process inspection in repetitive mfg- Inspection type - 13

Hi there,
Can any one please tell me what is the differrence between the inspection type -03 & 13.
As per my understanding the only diff is that 03 is used in discrete mfg & 13 in repetitive mfg...
what is the other differrence ........??
Regrads
Kaushik

Hello Kaushik,
actually you have already found out that 03 is for descrete and 13 for repetive manufacturing. What is the difference?
03 Descrete Manufacturing : Limited production numbers and can be assigned to a customer order. Example: A computer built with various extras (built to order).
Accordingly inspection plans and inspection points assigned can be configured rather freely.
13 Repetitive Manufacturing: Production lines produce the same product in an unlimited number over a longer period of time. Example: Screws M8 x 40 mm (Mass production). In this case inspection plans need a relation to either time, numbers etc.
I hope that this information answers your question.

Isabelle

Process Manufacturing Vs Discrete Manufacturing

Dear All,
I am new to Oracle Applications, it will be very helpful if anyone can guide me on what are the conditions need to be looked at when selecting one of the above two manufacturing with relation to an Automotive spare parts manufacturing company or can i maintain both the process?.
Regards
Naresh

Dear Pavan,
Thanx for responding to my query.
i am completely knew to oracle apps, so my question may be a stupid questio, lets say i have assembly line as well as painting line as in any manufracturing unit, can i implement discrete for assembly line and process for painting line?
Second question : What advantage i would get if i go for discrete mfg for batch products and what would be the bottelnecks if i opt for process? and viceversa
Once again thanks for responding.
