Can use Scheduling agreements using VB/V1 reorder point MRP?

Hi,
Curretly client is using MRP PD with forward scheduling of 120 days and total horizon of 240 days (it is scheduling 6 months back and 6 months forward from current date) so that Vendor will always have at least 6 months of forecast requirement and client wants to use Min/Max and Reorder point as the key fields for inventory? will this is possible by changing MRP type VB or V1 or R1?
I have a taken a test material and changed MRP to VB and it did not ran for forward dates as the stock was not below reoder point? what are the points i'm missing here?
Appreciates everyone time and help.
Thanks
Siva

VB is consumption based planning and Scheduling agreements can be used only with PD MRP

When the new schedule divisions were create direct at MRP, the registries were not saved.
I searched for any configuration to activated this registry though without succesfully.

Is there any configuration to change the behavior of this transaction or another transaction I could see the information was changed, deleted or inserted?

MRP Strategies that work well with schedule agreements

Hello Experts, We are having a disucsion on using schedule agreements with our consignment process. What MRP Types and lot size keys work with scheduling agreements? One of our managers insists on using reorder point, and everything I have read seems to lead towards deterministic prodeure PD, and an exact lot size. I was hoping you could provide a proven strategy or tips.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

Hello, Thank you both for your quick replies. Our company strategy is a reorder point strategy, that we force our vendors to read off of a web page, but the settings in the system are PD, and usually a 4 week lot size. The MRP data is dumped to the same web page as the reorder point information. It is expected that our vendor is managing the inventory. We also use a PO for the year parked at the end of the year for the entire supply. This method does not allows us to measure the vendor performance.
We are currently have new proposal to use contracts and Kanbans with MRP. Where MRP is used for forecast information and Kanban controls the replenishment by sending a replenishment order to the vendor. This will give us a consumption based process, that can be measured.
The other proposal is to use a schedule agreement with the same reorder point strategy. This is why I asked my question. I don't think that the reorder point strategy works with this type of order. From my understanding the scheduling agreement controls the delivery of the incoming material based on forecast and real demand. Is my understanding correct?
The ulitimate goal is to have a system that provides our material on-time when it is needed. Easy for our vendors, and so we can measure the vendor against. On time delivey and stock outs.

Problems in sending Scheduling Agreement Change using ORDCHG

Hi All,
I am having problem while sending Scheduling Agreement change from a source system to a target system using ORDCHG in ALE,
Its going to ORDERS and creating a fresh new Sales Order instead of creating ORDCHG idoc's & creating a new order only for the chages.
Please provide some inputs on what Messge Types can support Scheduling Agreement change to Sales Order change.

Rajendra.

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for ur suggestion.
I have tried with DELINS message type, the IDoc is getting created but in the receiver side the status always remains 51 with message Vendor XXXXX not saved for the customer YYYYY.

Schedule line in Scheduling Agreement non modifiable

Hi Friends,
I'm creating Scheduling Agreement with VA31. The issue is that Schedule line category is coming as non-modifiable. Is it standard that in Scheduling Agreement, you can not overwrite default schedule line category? In customizing for Assign Schedule line categories, Manual schedule line categories are defined, but still I can not overwrite Schedule line category in VA31. Pl suggest what can be the reason. I don't have any ABAPer at my rescue.
Thank you.

Sgr,
For Sch.Line Agreement for component suppliers,we cant change sch.line category as of normal sch.line agreement.
Based on MRP for Delivery Schedule Types (Field available in Header Data under SALES view) and item category,sch.line category will be determined.

However,To decide which type of delivery schedule is currently relevant for requirements and delivery, the system uses the JIT delivery schedule horizon and the material requirements planning indicator in the scheduling agreement header
Try to change the MRP Indicator available in Header data to match your requirement.

Scheduling agreement without usage in MRP / MD04

Hello,
i want to use a scheduling agreement which isn't relevant for MRP. I use the standard agreement type LPA (Scheduling Agreement). The storage location for this process is marked as u201Cstock excluded from MRPu201D and the Source list record is also not relevant to MRP. Although I set these parameters, the schedules appear in MD04.
Is there any possibility like the requirement class in SD? In SD I can set the parameter "Transfer of requirements".
Regards
Andreas

It wont be possible to exclude seperate document type from MRP.
Excluding a Sloc wont work. MD04 list will show the Scheduling Agreement.
You can use a Custom 'Z' Logic to supress the Scheduling agreement from MD04. the program can be written in ABAP Code.

PR and scheduling Agreement related

Hi FreindsI
have a scenario wherein the client wants a scheduling agreement created. There is no MRP scenario here.
A scheduling agreement is created and sent to vendor
Whenever a requirement is there a PR is generated.
Based on this PR Schedule lines have to be created in the Scheduling Agreement.
How to go about it?
Regards

hi,
Make Schedule agreement from ME31L
Then You can have a source list for the schedule agreement..so that it will be automatically be determined while PR or PO...
Then Maintain the Delivery schedule on the given dates in the schedule agreement from ME38...
this can be generated from PR also....
To create PR from schedule agreement...enter the material...the system will automatically will show the source list no. in the item details..if the source is not fix,..then can check the n no. of sources...but for this use source determination indicator in PR , MMR ...
Hope its clear...

Raj,
Source List a Mandatory for Scheduling Agreement, if you want to create automatic Scheduling line.
Plz use (2) in MRP RELEVENT tab in ME01 (Source List).
rest of the thing is ok, make sure a material master(MRP 2 VIEW) in that view you have to give a planed delivery days. it is must.
HOPE IT WILL WORK

MRP supplier consignment create delivery for Scheduling Agreement

Hello,
We have a situation where MRP is used to calculate for a material which is subject to supplier consignment and also to scheduling agreement. When we run the MRP generates purchase requisitions for the consignment material , but it does not find the scheduling agreement for the material. We expected that it would create deliveries for the scheduling agreement.
The question is, is it possible to obtain deliveries from the MRP for the scheduling agreement?
Thanks a lot
Ignasi

Yes, it seems the problem was in Quota Arrangements which was not well defined for consignment material.
Thanks.

Movement Type 351 against scheduling agreement for future dates

Dear Gurus,
For stock transfer orders(Inter Plant Transfers), if the schedules in receiving plants are available only in future(say after 15 days), the sending plant is able to make 351 against such scheduling agreements today itself.
Is there any way to control 351 movements against these scheduling agreements.
Please reply.
Points would be awarded.
Regards
Shankar

Hi,
we are taking multiple GR against Scheduling Agreement hence for Parking Invoice we are using "Delivery Note" as reference.
but when we maintain delivery note system is not showing multiple GRs against Scheduling Agreement
Invoice Parking is not done against these Invoice
Please advce

Firm Zone and Trade off Zone in Scheduling Agreement

Dear All
Please explain in detailed the concept of Firm Zone and Trade off Zone in Scheduling Agreement, and it's effects in MRP run, i.e. If i take a MRP run for a material whci is having firm zone as 30 days and trade off zone as 60 days then what will be the result of MRP. The Material MRP type is VB
Thanks and Regards
Manoj

Hi,
Firm zone is the time frame in which you cannot change your orders (schedule lines) that you have ordered from a vendor in any way (Date change nor quantity change).
Trade off zone is time frame within which you can make changes to your procurement proposals, these changes are acceptable from vendor's side.
These time frames are agreed with the Vendor and then inserted for each scheduling agreement in 'Additional data'.
For your example if you take firm zone 30 days and trade-off zone 60 days, the check starts from current day on which MRP runs. For exampe current day is 1st Oct, all the procurement proposals with delivery date within 30 days that is till 1st September are firm orders, which MRP will not change in any case (You can find such orders with * in front of them in MD04 list). Beyond 1st september they are in trade off zone, in which MRP can modify them.
MRP types (VB in your case) have no correlation with these zones.

Scheduling agreement for customer?

Hi,
Similar to what we have in MM the scheduling agreement, which as i know is the substitute for long term purcahse order.
my question is whether we also have scheduling agreement between firm and the customer simliar to scheduling agreement?
there must be but terminilogy may be different. may i know what we call it SD?
Raj

Dear Friend,
-->Scheduling agreement is one type of outline agreement. (T. Code:- VA31)
-->Scheduling agreement means the agreement between customer and company which is having details about which is the quantity to be supplied for a perticuler date.
-->It is like a cotract but here we will have cofirmed quantity and delivery dates in different schedule lines for a perticuler duration or period.
--> From scheduling agreement we can create delivery directly without sales order.
-->Example -- If the customer specifies the date and quantity of the required material for a specific duration we will create scheduling agreement in the SAP.
Customer 'A' asked the company total required quantity is 100 but he wants supply in four instalments at specific dates in the month of March then we can create scheduling agreement for that requirement and we will supply according to that.
I hope it will help you. Reward points if helpfull.

Reorder Point Planning

Hi all,
Business Process is:
1. I am having 6 plants assigned to a single company code.
2. I had created material "A" and assinged to all 6 plants with
different manual reorder points, selected MRP type VB,.
Plants:                    1000      1010    1020    1030    1040    1050
Sloc                        A100     B100    C100       D100   E100   F100
reorder point      100         20        30       25        18       32
i have defined all MRP plant parameters for individual plants:
From my central stores A100 at Plant 1000 the stock will be issued to remaining all Plants, so central stores-in-charge will run an MRP daily or weekly, as we have set different reorder points for the same material at receiving plants
(1010, 1020,1030,1040,1050) so system first triggers the shortfall at all receiving plants and later triggers the Supplying Plant 1000.
Requirements:
1. If the avaialability stock at sloc B100 at Plant 1010 is 15, after running MRP the system is able to create an Auto PR for 5 quantity,. so its working fine,,,,
but my client requirement is:
if the avaialability stock at various plants are:
Plants:         1000      1010   1020   1030   1040   1050
Sloc        A100     B100   C100 D100   E100   F100
reorder point   100         20       30      25      18        32
avail stock          250         15       40      32      29        35
diff stock      +150          -5     +10      +7    +11       +3
so if we observe the above table,,, we can see the difference stock (Avail stock - reorder point) now if my stores-in-charge runs an MRP, a PR for 5 quantity at Plant 1010 is generated, however we are having excess stock at different plants.
what we want is, if my stores-in-charge runs an MRP, no PR should be generated to any Plant except a message saying that at particualr Plants(1020,1030,1040,1050) there are excess quantity of (10,7,11,3) at their individual storage locations.
i am not having much idea about MRP run,,,
1. how to map the above business process in system?
2. if i use planned order concept, ie. during MRP run a Planned Order for a Plant will be generated later my stores in charge will convert this planned order to purchase requisition based on the stock availabile at different plants? so how to work with planned orders/
3. Can i do total mrp run for all plants (1000,1010,1020,1030,1040) at a time?
can any one please help me out,,, its urgent.
regards,
urendra

Hi all,
1. In OM0E i have defined planning scope and assigned 6 plants as sequence.
2. In MD01, i have selected the same planning scope, create purchase requisitions - planned orders, i have'nt selected any Plants.
3. system has given a msg that planning run scope is only possible through parellel mode, now i have selected the parallel processing check box.
4. after pressing enter,, system gvs me the following msg,,,
Please check the destinations for parallel MRP
Message no. MD251
Diagnosis
No destinations have been entered in Customizing or none of the the destinations (application server) entered are active.
In Customizing for MRP, you define the logical destinations (servers) to be used for parallel processing.
how to overcome this,,,

MRP TYPE IN REORDER-POINT PLANNING

Hi
I would like to know the difference between the V2 and VM MRP type in the individual Material Master record.
Because, for me, both are for Automatic Reorder-Point Planning and I don't know which I have to choose.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Forecast program is used to calculate reorder point.
check this document
[http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/f4/7d257044af11d182b40000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Even when you the calculation is based on past consumptions, in the forecast view you maintain parameters for tendency (seasonal, etc), how many periods are to be taken into consideration and you may also manually adjust consumption quantities. You may refer consumptions to other materials (i.e. when you have a new material code, replacing an old one, you can use this old one historical consumption data to calculate reorder point).
Hope this helps

How to measure performance of supplier when using scheduling agreement ?

Hello all,
My client has an absolute need to be able to measure the performance of its suppliers based on delivery dates and delivered quantities. That is to say he needs to be able to compare what dates and quantities were asked to what has been really delivered.
Most of the procurement processes used are based on scheduling agreements : schedule lines are generated by MRP and forecast is sent to supplier while firm requirements are sent through JIT calls.
It seems that when doing GR in MIGO, it is done against the outline agreement number, and not against the call. Therefore, we have no way to compare dates and quantity with what was expected (in the JIT call).
Do you know if SAP proposes a standard solution to this, and what could be a solution to this issue ?
Thanks for your help
E. Vallez

Hi,
My client faced the same problem and we ended up developing an own analysis in LIS. Since the GR is not linked to specific schedule line (SAP does some kind of apportioning, but it doesn't have to correlate to the correct match), one needs to do assumptions. Our assumption was the closest schedule line, i.e. each GR is related to the schedule line with the closest date. Then all GR the same day are totaled together before the quantity reliability is calculated, since the very same shipment can be reported through several GR transactions in SAP (one per pallet).
If anybody has info about what SAP has to offer in this question (or is developing), please tell us!
