How to implement the WIP in production planning module?

Hi Gurus,
Good afternoon! We are planning to Implement the WIP in Production Planning Module. Current set-up, we create production order and confirmed for all process in production transaction especially the consumption of raw materials and Goods receipt of FG from one Production order. We have two activity in production transaction. But we would like to separate the process per activity. Can we ask on how to separate the transaction or implementing the WIP? To create production order as semi-finished goods and one production order for final finished goods. We would like to ask for your expertise and advise on how to implement WIP in SAP PP that there is no duplication of manufacturing FG cost.
We would like also to know all FI entries per transaction to make sure there is no double entries in manufacturing cost of FG.
thank you,

REGARDING THE PRODUCTION PLANNING FLOW IN IMPLEMENTATION

HI,
PLS TELL ME THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
FROM RAWMATERIAL TO FINISHED PRODUCT ( FROM ONE
END TO END IN IMPLEMENTATION )
REGARDS & THANKS IN ADVANCE,
MURALIDHAR

Hi,
Assume FERT below HALB below ROH.
1. Create a demand in MD61 for FERT material.
2. Run MRP by MD02.
3. Check the stock evaluation by MD04. System will generate planned order for req. Convert the planned order to prod order by double clicking planned order.
4. Same will apply for HALB also.
5. For ROH, system will create pur requisition, check in MD04.
6. Convert this Pur.Req into P.O. Do goods receipt against this P.O by MIGO.
7. Stock will increase for ROH. check the stock in MMBE.
8. Issue the ROH material against HALB prod order by MB1A 261 mvt.
9. Confirm the prod order by CO15. Do goods receipt by MB31 101 mvt.
10. Same is applicable for FERT material also.
11. Check the the stock in MMBE.

Implementation of exit APOCDPS1in the Production Planning Run

Hi Folks,
I am trying to implement the exit APOCDPS1 in the Production Planning Run transaction /n/sapapo/cdpsb0.
Can anyone throw some light on the implementation methodology ?
Further Inorder to use the exit in the production planning run , i need to select an option " Planning Object = 5 Copy objects from Customer Exit APOCDPS1". And then I need to select "Selection ID". Where can I configure this selection ID ? Should I need to build this in the exit?
Thanks for your support.
Best Regards
Yoge

Hi Yogeswaran,
Kindly contact your ABAP consultant for implementing the said user exit. This user exit is called when production planning run is executed.
The selection ID needs to be mentioned in the code. And here for particular selection ID you can write specific selection criteria. For example, we wanted to select orders of particular date which is not possible in standard selection.
Best regards,
Vaibhav

G/L's in production planning

Dear all,
i have on question kindly answer me if any one knows.
in standared practies of (SAP) PRODUCTION PLANNING how maney G/L's has to be assigned and what are they.
thanks in advance.
best regards,
irfan

HI
generally it depends on your production process. at the time of implementation, consultant maps as per the requirments given by FI team
for example if you have production stages like finished product(stage 1 ,stage 2) this willl have one GLs,other semifinished (stahes) will havwe GLs, RMs,and consumptions GLs,GRs GLS etc.

Product Costing and Production Planning

Hi,
Is Product Costing absolutely required before implementing Production Planning, specifically PP orders? My client does not want to plan costs or need any cost estimates. They want to use a PP order to check availability for a BOM, and then issue it out to an external vendor for services. After this material is processed by the external vendor, he would ship it back and we would be doing a goods receipt at the parent level of the BOM. The whole purpose of this is to get the accurate price of the BOM parent which would include all service costs. This parent would finally be sold via the regular SD sales order process. Our Logisitics consultant suggested that the only way this could be accomplished is a PP order. All this looks okay, but he also mentioned that a PP order cannot work without Product Costing and the process cant be accomplished CO-PC. I am unable to grasp why SAP would force us to have costing when the client doesnt need any cost estimates, planning etc. Could any one please tell me if we need CO-PC for this scenario?

Dear SAPFicon,
Technically, to run PP without using product cost planning would cause a lot of problems during business process of production order. Because, once a production order is created then the data structured is freezed in the PO and if there is any missing data it will cause errors. Any errors in production order would stop the following transactions. We never know what would be the error level of the production order. The worst case, the production or should be cancel and start it all over again.
But by using product costing or product cost planning, this is a preliminary step to prevent and eliminate any error of the products tobe produced.
So, ideally, there is one person in charge to ensure that the products which be produced in the production orders are free of error.
So, the product costing is an integrated module that take data from variouse module such as PP, MM, CO, HR.
The product costing use the Logistic master data such as folllowing;
1. Bill of material
2. Routing
3. Work center
4. Material master
How you can say, that running PP without PC will run, while the to run the smooth production order, you need to mandatory parameter in Material Master that belong to Costing area.
Without having product costing, I can assure that your client will trap in a lot of troubles with their business process.
Please see the online documentation for product costing for a better overview or you are welcome to ask again

Irhasni

Find production plan daywise

Dear experts,
I would be grateful i someone has encountered and solved this issue before and
could help me out here.
We had MRP module recently implemented and been asked to calculate plan
qty datewise for given matnr.
Having looked at table plaf,i was quite hopeful.But later on i realized that once
that moment i confirm any production order ,quantity for that gets subtracted.
that is record gets removed from plaf.
The reamining plan qty is not something which i am looking for.
I want total planned quantity till given date.
I found that i get record in mseg and qals also on confirming production.
But still not able to compile sum total for these tables additional to plaf as i couldnot find
suitable linkage between plaf,qals or mseg.
Thanx in advance.
Regards to all..

Hi,
Plz excuse me,what is the point implementing MRP by companies when a person can't even
tell the planned qty daywise technically or by developing a report.
You asked that you want to get PldOrds from SAP I just suggested some tools. Why then are you saying this?
Please understand:
- Planned orders doesn't mean "production plan" generally. The planning might be much more sophisticated (just think of purchase orders, stock transport orders, production orders as GR-like element)
- in MTO einvironment it would be important to get information on SOs, or in MTO enironment information on PIRs - these are also important factors
- stock level might be also very important
- etc
What's the sense of getting the day-wise PldOrd list? What's its purpose? In itself it may say nothing.
I just want to say that the whole planning situation should be considered and it might be very complex.
I think MRP concept is:
- proper input (requirements) + proper master data maintanace > proper output
(so, you don't have to check the PldOrd quantities day-by-day)
Of course, SAP PP module has many deficiencies, reports are far from being perfect (or doesn't exist at all) - but first please examine MD04 and try to understand how MRP works.
In my opinion a mass-MD04 would be more important than the list you want (and filtering the mass-MD04 list you could get the desired PldOrd report as well).

Csaba

How to Reconcile Production Planning & Controling Data

Dear Experts,
Currently we are implementing the below Production Planning & and Controlling cubes.
1. Capacity Load Utilization (0PP_C13)
2. Plan/Actual Comparison Operation/Work Center View (0PP_C03)
We have updated the data in C13 and cube and doing the reconcile with standard reports.
In R/3 which T codes are usefull for C13 and C03 cube data reconciliation.
Regards
Ramu

Dear Suresh,
The View of CRHD_V1 is not giving the available capacity information.
I need to reconcile available & Target capacity information WITH Plant and work center wise.
BW Query names are 0PP_C13_Q001 & 0PP_C13_Q002

Ramu

S there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & exec

ear All,
Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & execution module and CO-PC product costing module ??
Meaning.. any Power generation/Transmission/distribution or water production/Transmission/distribution company is using SAP PP or APO for their operation business processes.
Our client is actually an integrated Utility having very much integrated product lines like Processed Sea water for cooling, Process water for Industries, Potable water & Power for the communities/ industries.
Please let me know.. as we are planning to implement the PP and CO-PC for product costig..
As I know Tata chemical, Gujarat-India is using SAP PP module for their captive Power generation.(I have worked there as SAP CO consultant). But there is no transmission and distribution as such.
But production processes are covered by PP and product costing CO-PC is also implemented and it is giving very accurate cost per unit both for plan side and actual side.
regards,
George

Hello George,
I would not be able to provide you much detail about the PP solution as I was taking care of the controlling part. The BOM of power and water were defined as you have mentioned only thing we had additionally was Gas was also mentioned in the BOM since we had 6 gas turbines. But all of them were mentioned as not relevant for costing. So there was no cost being calculated from the material side. We had formula planning template (CPT1) that used to calculate the costs under the following heads which were defined as activity types.
a) Gas
b) Employee Costs
c) Consumables / Supplies
d) Operating Expenses
e) Depreciation
These components were planned at a initial price in KP26 and the quantity for them (except Gas) was units of power generated (for cost component it was 1 MW and for actual based on the quanity in the product cost collector). Power cost estimate used to be created at the begining of each period with help of this template and per MW cost was used in valuating the power generation in each of the product cost collectors (the turbines were defined as separate work centers as well as product cost collectors).
In the actual execution the power material used to be generated in all the product cost collectors and the usage of gas was confirmed. The template used to be executed in the month end (CPTA) and the same would allocate the costs posted in the power generation cost center to the product cost collectors (the amount would be the power units generated multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for Employee Costs, depreciation etc. and for gas it would be Gas units consumed multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for activity Gas). The power material generated would then be issued to the generation cost center along with the usage of gas for power as well. The next step is execution of the splitting transaction which would allocate the amount posted in the cost center to the various activities and then the actual price calculation would be carried out for the activities and the product cost collectors get revalued with the actual price. Upon settlement of the product cost collector to the generation cost center you would have the power material issue cost + settlement account. The amounts posted in these two accounts would be transferred to the water cost center using a assessment cycle with SKF that mentions the usage of water in power and another assessment cycle taking the costs in water cost center with help of SFK that quantifies usage of water in power. Now the power material cost + settlement amount - sent to water + received from water is sent to another cost center called power - distribution and from there the amounts including any distribution costs booked therein is transferred to other user cost centers using usage units defined as SKF.
What I feel later is the water activity could have been done before settlement and an activity type could have been defined for that purpose.
At the moment I can remember this much and would be happy to answer any more query which you may have. That was a good design though it had lot of scope for fine tuning.
Kind Regards // Shaubhik

Dear Pavan,
Thanks for the reply..
Yes, as you rightly mentioned..It is not very simple...Utility production is bit complicated than normally believed by majority.
But for captive production of power & water, we had used PP/CO-PC successfully for may be more than 12 years(in tatas)..
What was done in Tatas, power as a material(finished good) and BOM/ recipe for it in the PP.
(because we had used PP-PI there) and Power's BOM water is an input material and in Water production BOM power is an input material..i.e recursive BOM and system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And main product was input for itself in its third stage.. And steam is input for itself and input for power/water and opposite also true..
And we got 5 different steam, like 50 pound, 100, 250 pound ..Still with all these complexities PP/CO-PC is able to give actual cost per unit accurately. So for production/generation standard PP/CO-PC will work fine...we are 100% sure...but for transmission and distribution is there any better way or solution model ??
But the main thing or the question is that whether you are able to get the actual qty of production consumption in process.
Then system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And on the actual side of product costing, we have to use the material ledger functionality, wherein we can use multilevel settlement by which we can settle the actual cost variance at each stage of production to the next stage of production.
But the first reaction, when people hear about utility...it is very very simple...you are only producing one 2-3 final products..only 2-3 technologies involved...
But reality is quite different...and currently all the major utility company's production processes are outside SAP system, even when they are using SAP for all other functions/departments...but their main function is to produce water/power is outside the system..and like any other company production/generation processes are the most repeated activities in their company.
And if you see..even two repair works in say SAP PM module processes are different to each other..(still we are using a SAP module-PM for that to have historcial data and to learn from our from experience)
But production of desalination water from desalination plant is same today, tomorrow...day in ,day out...it is same..
And if we are saying we cannot co-relate input quantities with output quantities..we are essentially saying we have no control over production processes and we don't want to standardize our most repeated activity(production)
Anyway, since production processs is out of the system means, no quantitative data-production related is available in the SAP system and most of the organisation using excel for reporting of quantitative data-production related..

George

Production planning run

Hi,
I have a continous supply of raw material with predifine schedules like 1000Lt at 7AM,1200Lt at 8AM etc. till 7.00PM. When i run the PPDS heuristics how the system accounts these expected planned receipts.Shall we have to created any STR or Schedule agreement...System has to consider these receipts and then only it has to generate further supplies if these are not sufficient...
Regards
Hemanth

Hemanth,
OK, SAP_MRP_001 is one of the standard 'MRP' type heuristics. I will assume that you know that this heuristic will perform MRP Demand-type planning.
For this heuristic to function, I will further assume that you know you need to have demand elements in place (dependent demand, Independent requirements, sales orders, etc etc).
When this heuristic runs, it will perform a net requirements calculation. This means it will look at all existing supply elements (stock, planned/production orders, purchase reqs/purchase ords,etc), and at all existing demand elements, and will determine in a time-phased fashion each place where demand is not met with supply. It will then look at the ordering policy of the material, and create procurement proposals.
So, to your issues:
Now i have to prepare a production planning schedule for tomorrow utilising the stock quantity first and based on the expected quantity schedules.
This is standard MRP planning. SAP_MRP_001 will do this, provided you have sufficient demand in place
I dont want the system to create Purchase requisitions.It should check the expected supplies and create planned orders for production planning.
The procurement proposal type will depend on the settings in the product master. Generally, if the material is 'externally procured', you will get a purchase requisition. If it is internally procured, you will get a planned order. Also, SAP_MRP_001 standard functionality is to check existing supplies during its calculations.
Now my question is how should i capture the expected supplply hourly schedule in APO and whether this Heuristics check these quantity schedules?
The exact timing of the procurement proposals will depend on when you actually have a shortage. This in turn is dependent on the timing of your demand elements. You can set the SIZE of the procurment proposal by setting the Lot Size procedure in the Product Master. In your case, I believe a time-based policy would be in order, such as 'by period', period = hour; number of periods = 1.
In your post you didn't mention:
Fin goods, Assembly, Raw materials
MTO or MTS
Process or Discrete
Demand or consumption planning.
Capacity Issues.
How to execute the plan
I am going to stick my neck out and make the assumption that you do not have a lot of experience in the area of PP/DS, or planning in general. If you are asking these questions because you are trying to learn about planning, fine. This is what these forums are for. On the other hand, if you are in a position where your job requires you to create these planning scenarios for your client, or for your business, then I strongly advise you to go to your supervisor and ask for help. SAP offers many fine schools to learn about these issues, and there are many consulting companies that will guide a company through the implementation of PP/DS planning.

Sales order reference at the time of Production Planning

Hi all,
Is there any Hard check (or) Validation at the time of assigning sales order in Production order?
to be more specific
At the time of creating production plann, we assign open sales order to that. Again if new production plan is created and with out knowing if he assign the same Sales order number system should block it.
Is there any solution for this
Regards
Shashi

Shashi,
Couple of important things to be noted.
1. How could you determine if the first user linking the SO to the Production Order really selected the correct one. It could be very much possible that the same Sales Order linked to the another Prod Order is actually correct.
Unless you have a business validation procedure to check this it will not be of much value to prevent duplicated.
You can read about the transaction notification stored procedure using the link below
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1011154
This transaction notification is a stored procedure available in a company database and can be accessed from SQL Server Management Studio

Table for Product Plan Status

Hi,
In "Basic Data" tab of Product Plan Detail, there's Status field which is the "User" status for the Product Plan. I am looking for the table which contains this Status field. DPR_PROJECT table only contain "System" Status field.
Thanks & Regards,
Tony

Hi
PO status is stored in Structure not in the table.
Please use the List displays to get the information like ME2N,ME2L, ME2M, ME2K etc
You can also get the information from the table EKKO, EKPO, EKET,EKBE
Hope it helps

Sending Production Plan to Vendor / Supplier

Dear Sir
Ours is a production unit (assembly line) we use lot of components. So I want to know is it possible to send plan directly to Vendor by E-mail from SAP.
Thanks & Regards
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Sending out Production Plan to Vendors by email is possible but given nature of dataset involved (not documents in form of Production Orders) it may not be a very feasible option. Instead either develop a report to extract relevant Production Plan data and send it out as email.
But better look at Supply Chain Collaboration applications like SNC Supply Network Collaboration that has Outsourced Manufacturing processes catering to these kind of supplier / vendor collaboration requirements.
Hope this helps.
