Automatic conversion of planned orders

Hi PP Gurus,
I have a requirement to convert planned orders to production orders automatically. I believe SAP standard does not offer this functionality.
The possible solution seems to be writing new program which could be a copy of C041 transaction code.
Did someone ever worked on this functionality?
Request to share your experience and possibilities on this - Thanks
Regards
Seshu

Dear Seshu,
In my understanding there is no T Code for making the conversion of planned order into a production order as an automatic
process.
But you can use the T code CO41 for converting a list of planned order's into production orders.
In many cases the planned order is only a proposal and only after converting it into a production order and releasing it then the
exact shop floor activities starts like Good's issue.This activity is done by a production scheduler.So in case if you develop a
program to convert automatically,then reservation gets generated for all the production orders, which is not recommended.
Also check this link,

Check and revert back.

Hi Dutta,
In Standard SAP it is not possible, all you can do is to create your own program which is copy of std CO41 or COR8.

Conversion of Planned order to PR

Hello everyone,
I had a question regarding automatic conversion of Planned order to PR.
When system runs an MRP, System is supposed to automatically convert the planned order to PR in the opening period. But System does not convert the same. Am not able to figure out why.
And what does STPO mean?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji

When system runs an MRP, System is supposed to automatically convert the planned order to PR in the opening period. But System does not convert the same. Am not able to figure out why.
During MRP run, system will create a PR in Opening period, if the material is externally procured material.( System won't convert plan order into PR in the opening period, system will Propose PR only ion opening period, if u maintain a create Purchase req as 2 Purchase requisitions in opening)
And what does STPO mean?
STPO related to stock transport order

BUG in Conversion of Planned order to Production Order.

Dear all,
I got an error while conversion of planned order to production order are as follows,
No Default values maintained for op.generation for order type ZFT1(matlPILSF002).
Can anyone please guide me to proceed further.
Kumar.

Hi,
Root cause behind this problem is, no Routing found.
First complete below settings.
- Go to OPJG And create defult Operation creation in case of no Routing found.This setting will generate the default Operation incase of no routing found during Order creation.
- In T.code OPJF Create automatic selection parameters (Selection ID) for Routing.
- In T.Code OPL8 Maintain Selection ID for Routing and also maintain type of Routing selection (3 - Automatic Routing selection)

Partial conversion of planned order into production order of AFS material

Dear Experts,
I am working with SAP 6.0 EHP4 with AFS add-on. My material is AFS specific material. I am not able to convert planned order into production order partially from MD04 screen as all the fields in the CO48 screen is grayed out.
Please help...

Hi,
I am not able to get what is passing the start date.
Second thing is how you are generating the serial number - manually or automatic?
If you are generating serial number automatic, then it is not possible to generate it considering the basic start date.
But if you are entering the serial number manually, then there should not be any problem as system will accept that serial number which you enter at the time of conversion of planned order to production order.

Conversion of Planned order into a Production Order.

Hi All,
I have one ticket in which I have to change the format of generating serial no.s.This format has to consider
Basic Start Date while generating it.In our project Serial No is getting generated at the time of Production Order.
So I have to pass this start date before Prod Order is getting created from a Planned Order.What i want to know is it possible to pass a start date when a Planned Order is getting converted into Prod Order as i think it will be a standard SAP program which will convert a Planned Order into Prod Order.Any suggestions on how to achieve this is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket

Creation of production order from manual or conversion from Planned Order

Hello Guru,
i would like to know why does the production finish date differ when we do manual and conversion of planned order into a production order?
Thanks

Ryan,
When a planned order is created it just uses the Inhouse production time defined to derive the dates, whereas incase of production orders, it would try to schedule the operation and based on that the scheduled dates are derived. The other possibility is the different scheduling types are used for Planned order and Production order. Check transaction OPU5 and OPU3

Automatic Creation of Planned Order in PPDS Horizon

Dear Experts,
Kindly answer my following query.
I have created PIRs before/inside my PPDS Horizon (its also falling outside horizon as SNP horizon is shorter than PPDS Horizon). If I check the PIRs created by me in /SNPAPO/RRP3, it also shows me planned orders corresponding to them. However, if I create PIR outside PPDS horizon then system is not automatically creating the planned order.
Kindly let me know which master data/configuration setting is responsible for automatic creation of planned orders within PPDS horizon.
Best Regards
Rinju

Dear Rinju,
Check in Product Master PPDS view the Planning procedure maintained? if it is balnk check in the heuristic, the palnning procedure maintained.
Since automatic planning procedure(3) is maintained, that is the reason it is creating order proposals, it self.

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:

Field setting when collective conversion from planned order to PR

Dear expert:
Is there any way(except ABAP enhancement) to add the field "tracking number" in MD15 when I conduct collective conversion from planned order to PR. Seems in standard config this field in not included in this screen. I have set this field as a mandatory field, but even though when I conduct the conversion, this field still can not be displayed in the MD15 conversion screen.

Hi,
There are following T. Codes to convert Planned Order to PR;
MD14 - Individual Conversion
MD15 - Collective Conversion
MDUM - In Background
Also MD04
User Exit is LMDZU001 - User exits in additional planning

Conversion of planned orders to production orders

Hi,
we are doing mass conversion of planned orders to production orders and performing capacity availability check, how system will give log information based on these two things,
when i perform availability check at time of order creation and will not allow to create if anything is missing (i selected user decides option in configuration), does it show any error log report and where can i see.
When i perform availability check at time of release, if anything missing it will not allow to release and give a choice for a user to release in normal production order creation process, how it will work in mass conversion. is there any standard report to look at missing planned orders so that users will come to know and then decides whether to convert to production order or not.
thanks in advance.

Dear ,
In SM38-Enter PPBICO40 -Execute -Here you need to Mark the Output log option with Erros only or Error Folder for each MRP controller .Frist you do it in test mode and then remove test mode , mark the Output log option as per requured field and check the result .
refer this useful thread : Program PPBICO40 for conversion of planned orders to production order

Order type for conversion of planned order

Hi gurus,
I have configured 6 different order types for PPPI and not maintained any default order type for conversion of planned order into process order. But when I am trying to convert planned order into process order by branching out from MD04 to COR7 via the popup window, default order type PI01 gets selected which cannot be changed. However, if I am converting the planned order into process order directly through COR7, then choice of order type is available.
Could you please tell me how to ensure choice of order type while branching from MD04 to COR7?
Regards,
Abhik

Hi Datta
The order type is selected as below
First it will look for any scheduling profile is maintained. If so it will select default from the profile.
Next if the profile is not there it will look for any scheduler is assigned in material master. Through the scheduler it will select the profile and default order order type.
Next it will look in plant parameter. With conversion from plan order to prod order order type
Next it will look in MRP group conversion order type, if you have mainted it in Material master.
This is the sequence. Please check have to maintained any of these.
Hope this is clear

Partial conversion of Planned orders to Production orders

Hi all
I wan tot partially convert planned order to production order. I am able to do this with MD04. Is there a tcode for mass partial conversion. CO41 does not allow a partial conversion. Is there a way I can collectively do a partial conversion.
thanks

Hi John,
To the best of my knowledge there is no t-code to do a mass partial conversion of planned orders.
You can try with a lsmw recording of t-code co48 & then input your planned order numbers with the qty to be partially converted or alternatively use co41, change the qty & convert the planned orders, but with this you will need to re-run MRP to create another planned order for the balance qty.
Hope the above helps.

Vivek
