ATP for manufactured and procured materials

We have a scenario that we have essentially a make-to-order process but occassionally, due to setup costs, manufacture more than what is needed to satisfy the sales order line item that triggered the planned/production order.
In other words, when sales order ATP executes, we would like to first check for unrestricted inventory to supply the order. If there is available inventory, it should be used on the sales order line item.
If there is no inventory on hand, we want MRP to run and create an order using the Make-to-order process.
Can someone help wtih this?
Thank you,
bak

Hi Bak,
The only way i have seen this done in the past is to create two materials codes for the sames material one is the stock item and the second is MTO, so when you have stock you can use the stock material code or there is none in stock to use the MTO material code.
The second option is too have one material that is MTO but when the order is placed to check if there is available stock and then to do a Stock to sales order stock material transfer. then when you run the ATP check the stock is available and no production is generated

Statment for WIP and Semifinished materials

Hi,
I want statement for WIP and semifinished materials during specific period,
can somene help me with the Tcode?
Thanks

Hi
What do you mean by WIP?
Have you created any Storage location as WIP?
you must be issuing the material to production / production line, which storage location you are issuing? treat that as a WIP.
as long as finished product is not decleared, you can treat the stock at that particular st location as WIP.
once product is declared, you stocks are going to reduce from that particular st location.
in other wards,
from which st location, you material is getting backflushed, treat that as a WIP.
take a stock via MB5B for that particular st location
Hope this help you

103 movement inspection for spares and engineering materials

can any body tell me how to control engineering and & spares materials when i done GR against 103 movement inspection lot is created but there is no control of goods is keep in quality but system allow 105 movement total quantity also how we will control the quantity if it is in quality stock any settings is required kindly send me guidelines

Hii,
103 movement is GR w.r.t P.O into GR blocked stock. Generally GR blocked stock means keeping the material outside the plant. The stock displayed in GR bloocked does'nt considered into inventory stock.
103 movement will be activated were the stores want to put some Quantity check on the material & where the Purchase dept does'nt want to take any accountability for the supplier deficit stocks. (In 101 immediately accountability take place and reflected in the inventory and FI document gets generated).
In MIGO after 103 movement, user can immediately release stock from GR block stock in the same screen (A05 Release from GR blockd stock). From Quality point of view u need to go with 103-105 movement type. Here don't activate Quality for 103 movement but activate quality for 105 movement type.Bcoz in 103 after inspection, u cannot show defect material in Blocked stock and it will remain in GR blocked stock. Confusion remains between new material and defect material where bothe will remain in GR blocked stock.
In short 103 - Quantity check (stores activty, no Inpsection lot)
105 - Quality check (Quality activity. Inspection lot)

Calendars for manufacturing and finance

hi,
we have a situation here in which we have gone live on financials with the calendar having 13 periods, periods coinciding with calendar mths. in manufacturing, we are going to have the 4/4/5 calendar: we believe manufacturing calendar cannot be anything but 4/4/5 or 5/4/4.
any gotchas there?
now, the client wants to switch over to the same calendar (4/4/5) for financials also, to have manufacturing and financials reporting in sync. question: is it necessary to do so for the sync to happen? what are the pros and cons of making/ not making the switch?
what could be the possible gotchas in the switch? need your opinions on this.
if any of you feel like responding on my personal mail id you can, at <[email protected]>

Read Macworld or Maclife and you will get a good flavor of the many aftermarket companies out there. Patenting anything is really outside the scope of this forum and so is marketing for that matter. Get a lawyer for the former as a start.

Lead Time for manufacturing and its corresponding Quantity in Material Mast

Hi all ,
Do we have any feilds in SAP Material Master
which are useful for
1) Lead Time for manufacturing
2) Manfactured Lead Time Quantity
if the mateials are produced inhouse.
thanks
ksr

Dear,
There are no such a fields in material master, But in MRP 3 view you will get theotal replenishment lead time field.
Which use for the produced in-house if the replenishment lead time is included in the availability check:
This is nothing but the in-house production time and, if available, the goods receipt processing time.
Also refer this link to calculate the in-house production time correctly,
Total Manufacturing time for assembly

Quota between inhouse Manufactured & external procured materials in APO

Hello All,
Scenario is like this:
I have semi-finished material. Suppose it is 'AX'. Now this 'AX' material I am manufacturing & procuring from external sources also. Material 'X' is APO material(MRP Type='X0'). Now I transferred MM scheduling agreement of same part in APO also through Integration Model, to get schedule lines as well as manufacturing orders after Heuristic run. When I checked in APO, MM scheduling agreement was transferred to APO but the Quota which I maintained in R/3 in MEQ1(% between in-house production & external procurement) was not in APO. Now in this case if I do the Heuristic run I got only Planned Orders(manufacturing orders), not any schedule lines against the MM Sch. Agreement. Now at this moment I was able to convert any planned order into MM Schedule line.
After this I created the quota in APO itself. After creating the quota I was able to get the planned orders as well as MM schedule lines based on maintained quota.
Regarding the above scenario I have some doubts. Please answer:
1. Is it a correct practice, what i did ?
2. I was very confused that when we maintains each Master Data of APO materials in R/3 why we need to create the same quota in APO also.
3. Is there any way to transfer this quota from R/3 to APO ? If yes please tell me the steps. This will save a lot of my stuff.
Thanks in Advance !

Hi,
1. Yes, as per the scenario mentioned and since the planning is taking place in APO, quota is needed to be maintained in APO itself.
2. This is because planning needs to input like proporational planning to to find out the right sources using quota and transportation lanes. But its master data intensive.
3. In other way, I would see no need of maintaining the quota in R3, instead you maintain the quota only on APO. (if I understand requirement correctly).
there is one way, you can avoid quota maintenance in APO. Here you need to use CIF user exit (APO outbound, C5) to modify the the procurement proposals of APO while getting transferred frm APO to R3 based on the quota maintained in the R3 side. This seems to be bit complex.
Hope this helps

Plan Drive Procurement - Splitting PR for Sourcing and Procurement

We have implemented SRM - Plan Driven Procurement Scenario.
Example of requirement
Material - XXXX
Material Group - 1000
Pur.Grp - ABC
If this Material Group 1000 and Pur.Grp ABC are setup in R/3 for External Procurement, all Purchase requisitions in R/3 will be routed to SRM.
However we would like to create Purchase Orders in R/3 for those Purchase Requisitions that have a Contract/Outline Agreement.
Can anyone suggest alternatives

Hi,
Kindly check OSS Note 648074. I believe this could be a solution or workaround for you

Sales order for noraml and VC materials with BAPI_SLSTRANSACT_CREATEMULTI

Hi all,
I created a sales order in CRM with Zfuction module in which I used the bapi BAPI_SLSTRANSACT_CREATEMULTI for a configurable material. I dint hard coded any thing and passed the product data and partner data using import paramters.
Now I am using this function module to create a sales order with normal item and it does not work and throws a runtime error.
My actual requirement is to create a Zfunction module that creates a sales order in CRM for both noramal material and VC material.
What modification should I do?
Edited by: jessica sam on Jan 19, 2009 2:09 PM

You are almost there..
Here are some tips about what data needs to be filled and where. Check this out. Use the report program (not function module) CRM_ORDER_READ. Use a transaction that has all the required information you are interested in. In your case - The requested delivery date.
The program displays the transaction data in a nice way - browseable data sets - run and see to know what I am talking about.
Look for the RDD, where it is found.... Use that as a tip to popluate your sturctures in your function module... Use this tip for any data in the transaction.

Procedure for inwarding and sending materials if i am a sub-contractor

Dear friends,
We are doing job work for our customers. They are also having SAP, so that they are sending the child material through MB1B - 541 mov and receiving the finished goods throug GR against the PO placed on us.
Now my query is how can i inward the child material inside of our organization and how can i send the finished part to my customer.
Inward the chils part > Converting to finished part (Activity to be captured)> Send it to customer through invoice.
What is the SAP standard procedure for the above process..
Kindly send the actual procedures and what is process you are following to do sub-contracting operations for customers.
Regards,
M.Selvaganesh,

Is your system is also SAP.?
When you receive components in system, you need to take to your stock, may be same material no. or different as per your wish.
Here actually the components are logically stays with the owner as Subcontractors place.
Upon receipt of finished good, it will be consumed.
So both are stand alone system.

Valuation class for imports and domestic material

Hi,
We wanted to hit different GLs for domestic and Imported materials inventory and therefore we have defined two valuation classes for Domestic and Imported material and these valuation classes are attached to respective materials in account view 1.
But now our problem is , we have few materials which are procured from domestic market as well as Aboard market.
Therefore now we are facing problem how to hit correct GLs based on the nature of procurement.
Thx in advance...
Regards
Sandeep marwha

use split valuation , since materail details is a master record we cant dupoicate .
so use split valuation and give a diffrent valuation class which correcponds to a diff gl account .
so when ver u create a Po givethe valuation type also , so that at Gr doing time , the stock will hit that gl act only. other wise will create issue , it will be grayed out while doin Gr .

Material Availability check for Networks and Projects

Hi,
How do I get the material availability for a Network or Project. I am currently using fm IBAPI_ALM_ORDER_ATP_CHECK but the result are not satisfying.
Do let me know if there's another way for it.

The BAPI that I am using .. internally it uses the FM that you have suggested. The issue is that I want to check ATP for a bulk of materials and using this BAPI slows down the execution.

Possibility of giving match code for Manufacturer in Equipment Master

Hi -
We can have a field exit on fieler HERST of Equipment Master.
Is there any possibility of giving a match code on this filed? so that we can maintain a table for manufacturer and user can select any one entry from this table.
We do have activated filed exit for manufacturer check, but need to further restrict the entry so that there is uniformity of entry maintained in this field.
Kindly advice.

hi narendar,
some information :
In addition to the above mentioned exit we have also created a custom match code for this field in one of our project ... the exit gets triggerred whenver user hits enter and the value entered here is used in selection criteria that displays the custom popup window ... the data is picked from vendor master table the selection createria we used was vendor name and description and vendor acount group MNFR - for manufacturers would be defaulted and displayed.So you can go with creating a custom match code which is invoked whenever user selects F4...

pushpa

Parallel MRP run for Internally and Externally procured materials

Hello all,
we want to run MRP with different settings for externally procured materials (create purchase Requisition) and internally produced materials. The choices provided my MRP run is either create planed order or Requisitions when run background. Is the activation of user exit M61X0001 the solution to this issue? I can recall that we had done this is some project in the past, not 100% sure to be sincere. Can anyone help on this?
Thank you for any help.

MRP - Create Planned Orders only for Externally Procured Materials

Dear All,
We have a scenario that our client gives us the daily requirement schedule for the current month and a monthly forecast for future months so that we can plan our externally procured materials based on the forecast.
Now I only want the MRP run to create Planned Orders for HALB and FERT based on my current months daily schedule and planned orders for ROH (Externally Procured) based on the next months forecast (monthly).
I dont want the system to create planned orders for HALB and FERT from the forecast. The requirement for the ROH are however derived from the Finished Good BOM and the forecast is also given for the FERT material. I know its a long shot but is there a possibility in the system to do such a thing or a work around?

Your business case is not clear; MRP will create planned orders for inhouse produced materials, and either planned orders or purchase requisitions for external procurement.
You can choose to convert or release external procurement for a long time ahead (eventhough taht if you have proper lead times defined you can release by lead time), but convert inhouse planned orders to production orders only for next period (week, month). Actually this is common practice.
So I fail to understand your problem.
