Dear PP Gurus,
Is there any program / functional module which i can execute in background to release production orders.
I would like to release the production order automatically in background (I do not want to perform custmization setting which relase production orders when created). I would be glad to have a program / logic to perform the same - 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.

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.

Control availability check during release of production order

friends,
Can you guys help me find the user exit/BADI which will allow me to control the release of production order after the availability check is complete.
In detail, the scenario is that : based on a flag on material master, I should be able to ignore this product's availability during release. I cannot change the availability check to "KP" ( No check) as this product can be sold seperately. So what I thought was that if I get to control the availability check during production order release I would be able to ignore this product before check or may be after check and before the status change.
I found PPCO0021 exit and function module EXIT_SAPLCOZR_003 which is actually intended for release control for automatic batch determination. I am not sure if I can use this.
Please let me know if you guys have any idea.
Thanks
Prod_Planner

Let me rephrase the scenario :
I have a production order for a product P1 which consumes raw materials R1 and R2. R1 is supplied by a nearby vendor every 1 hour to my plant so I do not need to worry about the availability of it when releasing the order but R2 availability should be taken into consideration. So, function 1 or 2 in OPJK will not work (as release need to be stopped if R2 not available) hence I will be using 3. If I use 3, R1 availability is also considered hence the whole order is not released. I will maintain a flag on material master so if R1 has flag, I need to ignore R1's availability but still considering R2.
As mentioned, I found PPCO---21 which could help me but need your help to understand if there is any other way.
Thanks

Batch no in production order

Hi Experts,
when i am releasing a production order (via co02 ) it is generating a batch no as 000000002 how ever i want to generate the batch order as first two digit should be year of the order (ex:11 for 2011) then next two digit will be month (ex: 01 for jan 02 for feb and so in on.) rest should be as it is. i found a fm CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT' which is generating this batch no as (NEW_CHARG) field can any one help me that what code should i write to generate this format and where should i write it .
thanks in advance

let me tell u exact requirement
After the release of a production order an internally assigned batch number will be assigned to the material being produced.
The internally assigned batch number will have u201Clogicu201D incorporated within it. The logic will be the last two digits of the u201Csystemu201D year (ie: 11), the month in two digits (ie: 01), and a sequential number (ie: 000001).
The sequential number will change back to 000001 with each month change.
Examples:     1101000001 (2011, January, sequential number beginning with 1)
          1101000002
          1102000001 (2011, February, sequential number beginning with 1)
The batch number should be defined as alpha-numeric.

Error while release of production order u201CNext period is not openu201D

Hi Experts,
Need your opinions on this issue where my client is facing a problem while create and release a production Order on the last day of the month (Last day of period change).
While create and release of production order for Plant xxxx, system uses to give the error; period Next (e.g. 12) is not open. Same thing if I have created the order using T. code CO01; but when I tried to release and save the order through T. code CO02 then it gave me the same error (Next period is not Open), it checks for the next period to open.
The above scenario happens only on last day of the month. Earlier this kind of error was not there so the question is why the period check is happening while saving the production order.
After speaking to the user, it is determined that they are facing this problem since upgrade (Since last 8 month). Hence need to check what additional check has been implemented with upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.
Error Message No F5201
Appreciate your help how to dig up this issue.
With Regards
Anant

Hi Guys,
Please throw some light why on the last day of the month (Last day of period change) at the time of release the order user is getting error: Period Next (FI Next period) is not open ( message No. F5201).
My question is why system carried out period checks at the time of release of Production Order.

Re:No release of production order without standard cost estimate

Hello Experts
I do not want to release any production order without standard cost estimate
I have come acroos the same problem raised by some other users and can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Is there any way to achieve this without user exit?
Thanks and Regards
Subbu

Hello Subbu,
In this case, you need to put the status as "B4" Blocked in costing 1 view of material master, when you create the costing view and change it to "03" status when you released the cost estimate.
Please note that this field can be overwritten in MRP view also. Hence please get the good control of material master and good coordination with PP team to achive this.
Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
Thank you,

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.

Or Use Transaction SE38 to create the variants for program PPIO_ENTRY and schedule it through SM36 or use standard variant as SAP&RELEASE.

Query on Batch Determination in Production Order

Dear Gurus
I have one query on batch determination in production order against the scenario given below, which need your help .
We know that it is possible to allocate the same component batch to two concurrent production orders at the same time in SAP. But as per the business requirement its not possible physically. So business want to update the batch selection logic to exclude the already allocated batch to any open production order.
In my understanding it cant be done without any enhancement, but require your expert opinion before coming to any conclusion.
If you have any idea to achieve the solution kindly let me know.
Thanks

Dear
I am not sure whether you can change the Batch SELECTION logic for concurrent production order .As far as I know batch selection is done on Batch search strategy /sort Rule

Problem while releasing the production order.

Hai gurus,
When i release the production order , SAP doesn't block when i have a deficit of stock for some materails.I checked all the customizing and found every thing is fine.
As the materials that has defict stock has back flush indicator, is that the reason why the system is assuming the stock when releasing.

Hi,
You need to consider the following customization settings
(1) OPJK - For the Plant/Order type/Availability check-2 for the material availability - Release material - set the indicator '3' No release if parts are missing
(2) OPJJ - For availability check & checking rule - check what all elements are considered as part of ATP check.
With these settings - in the production order if the order header has status MSPT - Missing parts (i.e. components are missing) only then system will stop the release of the order.
I hope this addresses your query
Warm regards,
Umesh

Error when release the production order

Hi all,
while release the production order i am getting the error :- Plant 1000 is not the only plant assigned to valuation area 1000 , how to resolve this error .
& can we release the prod order without calculating the cost ?
Thanks & regards
satish

Hello,
I'm facing the same issue when trying to create a production order using tran. CO01 with inputs (Material: P-100, Production plant: 1000, Order type: PP01. Next the total quatity of material is chosen freely, Dates/start is set to todays date, Scheduling is set to Forwards scheduling).
Error message :
"Plant 1000 is not the only plant assigned to valuation area 1000"
Message no. CK238
As explanation SAP says:
"Diagnosis
You are attempting to use material costing or order costing. However, the system has determined that plant 1000 is not the only plant assigned to valuation area 1000.
Costing is only possible when each plant has its own valuation area to which no other plants are assigned.
System Response
It is not possible to cost in your system.
Procedure for System Administration
Go into Customizing for the Corporate Structure and check the valuation level. The valuation level must be the plant level"
The error message implies that the user is not given the opportunity to create and save a production order.
I have secured the followings:
1. Valuation level is set to Plant level so that the valuation is now done at plant level. (The other option was at Company code level, which is not checked.)
Question:
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks and Regards!
