Automatic reorder planning

Dear Peers,
1. Please let me know if it is sufficient to switch on fields 'calculate safety stock' and 'calculate reorder level' in the configuration screen of MRP Types to switch over to Automatic Reorder planning from Manual reorder planning.
2. I also want to ask a flip question, do I need to maintain forecast for material / plant level in order to run automatic reorder planning.
3. Is there any other configuration besides manual reorder planning that should be taken into consideration to switch to Automatic reorder planning.
Much appreicate.
Syed

Dear Syed
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since this is one type of consumption based planning You have to maintain consumtion values in the forecast view of the material master to start with, Later the regualr consumption value will get update.

Automatic reorder point planning -forecast view

Hi
Our client want to implement automatic reorder point Planning.
Reorder point quantity was maitained from last 3 years but MRP type is 'ND' as they are not using MRP.
Now i am changing MRP type to:VM and in forecastting view: i maintained model as:D constant model period indicator:M
His periods:60 , forecast periods:12 initialization:X tracking limit:4000 selection procedure:2 reset automatically
Is it ok ? than can i run MP30. and the client wants to run for many materils(2000).
How can be run for many materials.?

srihari.M

Dear,
In automatic re-order oint planning , system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified in MRP2 view, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
From MP30 you have to executed forecast and system has generated forecast values and updated safety stock and reorder point also. Only thing to remember is you have to maintain service level in MRP 2 view of material master when you use VM- MRP type to calculate safety stock and reorder point
Find bleow the set up following set up for automatic re-order point planning :
1.Material Master Set up : Maintain all the relevent parameters from MRP1 to MRP4 view , Forecasting View
1.MRP Type -VM , Lot Size -EX
2.Procurement Type -E for FG and F for ROH
3.Planning Startegy -10 or 40 in FG/SFG and 20 for componenet
4.Planned Delivery Time in MRP2 VIEW
5.Indiviaul/Collective Indicator - 1/2 based on your requirement in MRP4 View
6.BOM Explosion -Keep it blank
7.Service level percentage -MRP2 view
8.Maintain Forecastin view data like model selection , Histry period , period indicator , Forecast control pramaters ,
10.Make sure that you have min 12-8 monhts total consumption update in Forecasting view .
Configuration : InSPRO -MRP -Check MRP Type -VM-check the details like Re-Orde point .Safety Stock both the automatic calcvualtion box are marked .
Finally as a sample test , select any material -mm02-execute forecast in mm02-forecasting view -exectute forecast -then save .Run MRP in MD03-1,1,3,3,1.NETCH indicator and check the result in MD04
HOPE IT WILL HELP. PLEASE REVERT BACK.

Re: Automatic Reorder point Planning for Finished Goods

Hi All,
I have some doubts regrading the Automatic Reorder point Planning for Finished Goods.
For testing purpose I have entered the consumption values for two month.
Say :
Nov-08=13
Dec-08=20
ROL level=5
Safety stock =4
Model =constant
Now when I execute the forecasting,The system gives me the forcast for the next two month jan & Feb.
But when I run the MRP I see planned order for 5.So how to fulfill my forecast for jan?
Please Advice.

Difference :Automatic Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based palning ?

Dear MM Guru's,
As we See in throtical Concepts that
Automatic Reorder point planning and Forcast Based Planning Used the prevuious Historical Data.
Please explain what is difference Between them.
regards,
A. S.

Hi,
Reorder Point Planning: -
Use: -
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
Features: -
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
- Safety stock
- Average consumption
- Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
- Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
- Vendor/production delivery timelines
- Service level to be achieved
- Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
Forecast-Based Planning: -
Use: -
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features: -
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
- Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
- Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
- Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
Example: -
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements.

Automatic reorder - forecast

Automatic Benefit Plans based on Date Types in IT0041

Hi
I am having an issue with a re-hired employee. We have two date types in IT0041. Current Hire date and Service Award Date. If somebody is hired for 1st time, both the date types are same( e.g 12/12/2008). and this case the automatic benefit plans follow the config rules properly and some start from the hire date and some from the 1st of following month as per the config ruel.
But If we are re-hiring an employee, in this case Current Hire date( 12/12/2008) would be different from Service award date ( because of his previous experience with this employer). In this case all the automatic plans are starting from the date when the re-hire action is performed, not even the re-hire date and do not follow the config rule at all.
We have never made any dependency of benefit plan on IT0041 anywhere in config, but why this is happening? Any suggestion would be appreciated,
Thanks
Wills

Nope. we never configured the dynamic eligibility part. So that makes it more strange. Because if all the date are same it works fine , but if the dates are different, it gives wrong result

How to LogOff Users Automatically in Planning ?

Folks,
do you have any idea about how can we Logoff all the users automatically in Planning.
the method i know is by going to the Planning web-Application settings and Switch to Administrator.
But I want to get this done Automatically for application maintanance and nightly backups.
any thought would be highly appreciated.

We had a similar scenario where we had to logoff users from planning app on the essbase side to run a cube fresh.
We have a job that would accomplish the tasks in the following order:
1. kill requests on planning app
2. Disable connects to the planning app
3. unlock all objects
4. run a cube refresh and security refresh from planning web(through command line using cuberefresh utility)
5. enable connects to the planning app.
If you wish to do it manually you can always push the planning app into maintenance mode which can be done by admin the Planning application owner.
Hope this helps!!

Min Max Vs Reorder Planning

Hi All,
What is the difference between both, Min Max & ReOrder Planning?
Thanks

Hi,
Min-Max planning will be either maintained at Subinventory level or Organization level.
If the onhand Qty falls below either minimum or Maximum level then system will generate either Purchase Requisitions or Work Orders in WIP module to replinish the inventory.
On running the Min-Max report system will consider the existing Onhand,PO qty or the Sales Order demand as per the input parametres.
Reorder Point is an alternate planning method for Min-Max planning method.
This will replinish once the Item Onhand falls below {Safety Stock+(LeadtimeX Demand)}.This will also produce Purhcase Requisitions for replinishments.
Thanks
-Arif.

Reorder Planning vs Min Max planning

Hi,
In what business scenarios should we use:
Reorder planning (ROP)
Min Max Planning?
We are implementing INV/PO for a bank where mostly expense items should be used. Also no manufacturing modules are used.
So which planning will be recommended and why?
Also, if re-order planning is suggested, share the set ups (with screen shots), as to how to set up & get the Requisition qty.
Thanks,

Hi,
Reorder planning is like two bin system. When one bin is empty, the demand is fulfilled from the second bin while the replenishment order is generated for the first one. Reorder Planning uses Oracle Inventory forecasting information to calculate average demand.
In min max planning, we maintain 2 levels, minimum and maximum. When the stock goes below the minimum level, the Requisition is created for the Qty =Max level - Qty already in PO/Req - On Hand.
However, option is available while running min-max to include or not include Qty alrady in PO/Req.
In min-max, the min-max levels have to be maintained manually and the demand forecast is not taken into account.
Hope this answers the question.

Automatic Revenue planning

Dear Experts,
I am using Automatic Revenue Planning through Sale Order ( Required Customization Done in Planning Profile-OPSB & also Sale Order Check in "IMG- Revenue Planning Update from Sales Doc"). Now the problem is when i am creating a Sale order & Saving it..Its only updating CJ42-Yearly Values but not the Overall Values. Can you throw some light on Causes & Actions.
Thanx in advance!
BR
Rohit

Hi,
For CO-PA updation, you need to customize value categories. It is basically mapping the sales order conditions to value categories, and give cost element ranges for the value categories.
I do not have access to system now, and hence not able to provide any more details.

Automatic Reorder based Planning

SAPers...
I am trying to update re-order point automatically but with the following calculation:
The Calculation is: (Usage x Lead time / 7) + minimum stock
Is there any way to build these custom calculations into re-order points to populate/update on an adhoc basis
If not then......
Can anyone give me some suggestions of how to map this best in SAP?

Normally reorder point is calculated as below
X = average consumption per day*Lead time in days+safety stock.
Hence if your per day consumption is 10 and lead time is 100 days, safety stock is 500, then
Reorder point is 100*10+500 = 1500. Hence if stock comes below this point, then system should create a PR with specified lead time and qty as per lotsize.
pl come back if required.

How To Automatically Create Planned Orders When Sales Order Is Saved

I have a MTO sceanrio where we need to create planned orders when sales orders are saved without running MRP.
I have the Planning Strategy Group set to 81 in the material master, but it didnt create the planned orders.
Could you tell me other settings I should review to make the planned orders create automatically?

Tony,
At the "Requir. Classes" (OVZG) customizing screen, field "Automatic start of make-to-order in background mode" affects the automatic planning. See fields help doc. below.
    If you select this indicator, the system automatically carries out
    single-item, multi-level planning for a sales order if a sales order
    item is either created or changed.
    This function can only be used for make-to-order production.
So check out the Req. Cl that yr Req. type (req. type is part of a strategy).

Elly

Change over from reorder planning to forecast -reg

Hi,
Currently we are using for some parts manual reorder point planning wth MRP type V1 and strategy 40
We require to change to forecast based planning where in we can change MRP type to VV and what strategy we have to put
any specific for forecast based planning
we use make to stock scenario only
as of now the requirements are calculated based on the customer orders and reorder point as per the current settings
we need the requirements calculation with past consumption values only then is it required to change the strategy to 10 from 40 ?

I do not think so.
