Batch Numbering vs. Production Order Creation

Hello
I am in a Pharma environment and have the following question / issue:
Batches are auto created at Production Order creation/release. In several cases the batches are not numbering chronologically?
A few givens / assumptions:
No deletions
No transfers
No combinations
This is affecting the sample assignments / sample sizes, as well the Dyn. Mod. functionality,but I pose the question straighforward as I've posted above.
Thanks for any thoughts..
V.

Please search:
Batch Numbers Skipping in Internal Number range Assignment
Anytime numbers are skipped it is usually due to buffering of numbers which is a BASIS function and is done to optimize system performance.
Please have BASIS look into this for the objects mentioned in the above link. Your BASIS people should be well-acquainted with the process of number buffering across servers.
I am howevr curious as to how not having consecutive batch numbers affect the items you mentioned like sample sizes and DMR's. Can you elaborate on that? I can only imagine this is due to some customization or development you have done.

Batch no assigning during production order creation

Sir,
We are manitaining the batch management for inut raw materials. During production order creation it is mandatory to assign the batch no for raw materials then only production order releasing is possible.In our case due to batch assignement to production order while order creation,we are facing the lot of problems like batch no not assign for full req qty and also if unavailabilty of stock for particular batch no it will come to COGI.hereby i need experts help for,
1.I want to determine the batch no during confirmation instead of order creation and also allow to release the production order even batch should be in blank.
Kindly help
Regards,
PS

Hi
For Rawmaterials why cant'n you assign Batch nos buring GR of purchase order.
Then you can do automatic batch determination during confirmation of order for mvrmt type ;261...
This is easy to handle.
Please check and come back

SERIAL NUMBERS IN PRODUCTION ORDERS

Hi All ,
I am entering the serial number manually at the time of Production Order Creation . For Order1 i have entered the serial number as ABC1 and for the next order i enter the same serial number it is allowing . so my requirements is system should not aloow to accept the same serial number which i have entered earlier .
Thank You

Hi,
This is the standart behaviour of SAP and you have to write a control in a user exit. In exit EXIT_SAPLIPW1_004, you can check if the serial numbers are already created, or used in a prodcution order before. You must join tables SER05 and OBJK to query assignment in a production order.

Serial number in production order creation CO01 Transaction

Dear All,
we are maintaining serial numbers for each product by using serial number profile .
For some products we creating serial numbers automatically during production order creation.
For some products we are selecting predefined serial numbers from IQ03,during production order creation.
But some products , we are maintaining serial numbers in excel sheet ,when ever production order created , we used to copy the required
serial numbers from excel and pasting in CO01 serial no provision fields.Here it is allowing to paste 20 serial no's at a time, but we want to
give more than 20 serial no's at a time
please find the attached screen shots and provide solution
Production order creation
Execute Transaction : CO01
After entering qty , we usually go to Header and select serial numbers
then it will populate provision to enter serial number for 30 sets
Here we are entering required serial number manually fro few products
The serial number to be used for this production order against this product like below
M1001
M1002
M1003
M1004
M1005
M1006
M1007
M1008
M1009
M1010
M1011
M1012
M1013
M1014
M1015
M1016
M1017
M1018
M1019
M1020
M1021
M1022
M1023
M1024
M1025
M1026
M1027
M1028
M1029
M1030
Then we will copy all 30 serial number and try to past in below screen
But it allowing only 20 serial number at a time not for 30
After pasting 20 serial no's , user manually selecting remaining 10serial numbers and pating in the same screen by scrolling the page
For example if production order quantity is 500 , then user put serial numbers 25 times it consuming more time
Requirement:
System should allow to paste all serial numbers at a time
Regards
Satya

Hello Satya,
I checked this requirement and did not find anything relevant.Even for MIGO there is a note 1883420 - In the transaction MIGO only 6 serial numbers can be entered at the same time .So as per my view you can either
1. Create serial no's before hand which you want to paste from Excel or
2. Some custom/alternate development for CO01,discuss with your Abaper. or
3. Raise OSS messge to SAP.

Filter for batch determination of production order

Filter for batch determination of production order
Dear guru ,
We trigger batch determination manually for every production order using CO02.
How can I understand whose are the production orders arenu2019t taking place batch determination?
Checking all the production orders is too heavy ?
Does exist a massive transaction (coois or others) where I can select the production orders with components not assigned to the batch ?
Thanks in advance

Hi
In COOIS > In the initial screen select Documented Goods movement in the list Field along with and other selection criteria and run the Report
In the list of orders > Expand corresponding order to view Documented goods movements list with the components with and w/o batch numbers

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,

IDOC/BAPI for Production order creation from Legacy system

Hi all
We are using an interface to create Production orders from legacy to SAP. Would you recommend an IDOC or a BAPI to create Production orders. If IDOC or BAPI then could you please mention which one?
thanks a bunch

Hi John,
For your purposes, please use BAPI for production order creation from legacy system. There is no standard inbound IDoc available to use. SAP has an IDoc for outbound interface only (message type LOIPRO).
If there is an inbound IDoc available, I would recommend to use an IDoc.
IDoc technology has excellent error handling and will allow you to reprocess an error (if any).
BAPI is also good approach to use and fast in term of processing.
For BAPI approach, you can use BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE.
Hope this will help.

Batch Determination in Production Order Component Overview Screen on the basis of FIFO, Thickness, Grade, width etc.

I am facing a difficult scenario. Pl. help me out. In my Business Process I am assigning Batches in Production Order Component Overview Screen. Here I am assigning relevant batches to BOM Components manually, My Management want SAP to suggest batches automatically on FIFO basis, thickness, grade, width & first batches should automatically assign to Production order. Can you pl. tell me how to configure this scenario.
Or can I pull stock overview screen at Production Order Component screen to assign relevant batch to BOM Components
Once batches assigned in Production Order component screen cannot be changed. It can be changes by specific persons only.

Hi,
Automatic Batch Determination for production order components is possible by configuration.
You can also refer below discussions to map your scenario.

Selection Of BOM & Routing at the time of production order creation

Hi guys,
Please clarify how i can go about for the following mentioned scenario
I have one Master BOM(Finished Product Level) & alternative BOMs for that,similarly i have one Master Routing & alternate routings for the same finished product
At the time of production order creation is it possible for me to choose one of the BOMs & One of the routings of that particular finished product without creating a production version?
Awaiting for a quick response
Vijai

Hi vijai prasad shanmugam ,
In the material master MRP-4 view under the BOM selection you can maintain on what fatcors you want the BOM to be selected Viz. Selection by order quant.,Selection by explosion date.Selection by production version etc.
As far as the master recipe is concerned ........ I guess that if there are more than one valid master recipe maintained then SAP will prompt to select the one manually.........
But it the standard practice to maintain the production version ....... for the similar situation to the one that you have mentioned.
Please Let me know if I can help you in any way regarding this........
Please reward the points......... in you find the ans helpful.....
Thanks

Automatic Batch Determination in Production order

Dear All,
We are using automatic batch determination is based on FIFO (first Mfg first out) for components..After releasing the order.
I have maintained Batch Class in all the materials which are used as a all material special Characteristic LOBM_HSDAT as a one of the class characteristic. as we want batch determination on GR date for few material and for few material LOBM_VFDAT for self life material and its class.
Then create Sort Rule CU70 mainatained the same LOBM_HSDAT in it. and one with LOBM_VFDAT.
Then create Batch serch Strategy (USE T.Code COB1- search strategy CO01the respective sort rule and selection critoria.for All ROH HALB and Finish material.
In Material Master of all component in MRP 2 view select value 3 (Automatic Batch Determination) for BATCH ENTRY. All ROH HALB and Finish material
After mainting above all prerequisite I should able to do the Automatic Batch Determination as per my selection Rule.
But Automatic Batch Determination in Production order after release is not working.
Please need your help.

Manish
Edited by: manish gurnule on Dec 30, 2008 5:26 AM

Dear,
Define the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1 with sort rule in CU70.
On the initial screen of your application choose Logistics>centrel function>batch management>Batch determination>For process order -->Batch search strategy --> Create.
On the initial screen of your application choose Batch search strategy -->Create.
Choose the strategy type, say choose co02
Choose the key combination-
Enter the required dat-->say plant ,production order type, product,valid from and component for which you want to have this
Choose Selection criteria push button. Choose a sort sequence.
If no values have been entered, enter the selection class and the characteristic values.
Go back to the screen on which you create a batch search strategy.
Choose Sort if required(it should be defined earlier(in CU70- here you are giving the charateristic name on which you want to sort)
For component you need to use MBC1 with search stratgey as ME01 for your plant movement type and material and assign the sort rule and search procedure here.
Check also in COR4, for the combination of plant and order type...you have selected search procedure-CO0001
Batch management> Batch serach procedure allocation and check activation
T.Code to be looked specifically OMCG , CORC
Hope it will help you.

Hi Michal,
I know that it is the old thread but still want to get clarified from you out of curiosity.
Unlike other IDOC, i actiavated change pointers for LOIPRO
1.message and idoc type is linked
2.function module , message type , idoc type is linked
function module used is CLOI_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_LOIPRO
3.BD64, distribution model is created and distributed
4. port and partner profile is in place.
5. IDOC is not getting generated after creating the process order.
do we need to activate the change documents for the message type in BD52,
if yes can you please provide the object types for the same.
or i am missing something else. please guide me in this regards.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Notify of Production Order Creation service

The SDN WIKI for Integration of Manufacturing Execution Systems states that...
"Now, as of Enhancement Package 4, each time a production order is created in SAP ERP, that action automatically invokes the Notify of Production Order Creation service operation, which informs the MES system of all the details of the new production order. "
I am not able to locate any further documentation and definition of the Notify of Production Order Creation service. Please provide assistance on where to find documentation of this service.

Look at these links , may get some help ....

Multiple batches for a production order and mapping with components

Hello Gurus,
Our business requires to create multiple batches for one production order + they want to trace which component in the production order has been issued to the main equipment.
For example, I am creating production order for 'A' equipment for 4 qty. Business wants to create 4 different batches for these equipment
Lets say now 4 batches are created A001, A002, A003 and A004.
Now lets assume 2 nos of 'B' component are required for 1no of 'A' component. So the requirement of B component is 8.
Lets say 8 batches are generated B001, B002 ......B008
Now lets say batch B001 and B002 are issued for A001 and packed together. How do we map this?
I understand we can do some enhancement for creating the multiple batches but I still dont know how to map them with each other.
Please help

Hi Ethan
There is a functionality called WIP batches, that allows you keep the batch traceability within an order.
With WIO batches you can track which batch of component was used to produce each batch of finished product.

Manual production order creation in MTO

Dear collegues,
I am stuck in a scenario:
I have a finished item A. strategy 20 is used.I created sales order for A in plant 1000. MRP run in plant 1000 happens. Through special procurement key 40, system generates planned order in plant 2000. Planned order is converted to production order. I can see in assignment tab of production order, Production plant is 2000 and planning plant is also 2000. Till here it is ok. I will do GR against production order in plant 2000 and through SD route I will send it to Plant 1000.
But when I create manually production order in CO08, always system sets in assignment tab of Production order , production plant as plant 2000 and planning plant as 1000. How to avoid this? Why manual production order is not like MRP generated planned u2013production order?
Kindly help.
Regards.

Give below a try in sandbox (Not from experience, so not sure if it works):
At the time of production order creation, maintain the production plant in Sales Order & ensure the demand flow to MRP is switched off at schedule line (If you're not sure, take help of your SD person).
The order created in CO08 should now have production & planing plant as same. Once that is done, switch back the plant in Sales Order & release the demand to MRP. (I hope the cut over plan has addressed the sales & MRP flows, so no inputs from my end)
If the above does not work, then revert with details.
