Co88 - for huge number of production orders -running for hours

Hello All,
I have a issue, in our manufacturing plant, we have huge number of production orders created every day, almost 1200 per day. During month end it takes almost 8 to 10 hours for running settlement, we find very difficult in doing month end closing. We also attempted parallel processing, it errors out.
I heard that, the co88 program looks each order by order checking the status, like closed, and thats the reason, its time consuming, i am not sure how far its true.
I am sure this general issue, people might have come across, can anybody share their experience. How to overcome this issue to run the settlement with possible minimal time, is there any note. please guide me
thanks
best regards
gj

Yes, this is a generic issue. Most clients manage by marking the orders as closed/deleted, so that these orders are not considered for period end settlement.
Also consider note 545932, and search notes fo further help.

FM to change Confirmation number of Production order

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to change the confirmation number ( which is already created for a production order) AFVC-RUECK. I could see that the confirmation number is not modifiable once it is created and no opition to change it by BDC. But my requirement is to change it for a production order.
1. Is there any FM or BAPI to change it?
2. Or directly changing in the database table AFVC is the only option?
3. Or is there any other method in which we can do it.
Awaiting your reply,
Balaji

Unique serial number during production order release for FG materials

Hi,
Actually our client is asking for serial number generation for each FG material during its production order release.
So that with this serial number he can track it in shop floor plus after dispatching to customer.
Here the scenario is Make To Order, this serial number will also be considered by SD during dispatch.
For serial number creation, I referred documents from SAP best practices(help.sap.com).
After this, now I am able to create serial number for specific material automatically.
Currently I am getting serial number with respect to material specific, i.e., serial number generating with respect to FG codes. Ex:- FG1 - 1, 2, 3, 4 and FG2 - 1, 2, 3, 4.
But as per my client requirement, they want serial number without material specific, i.e., common serial number for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1-FG1, 2-FG1, 3-FG2, 4-FG1 - - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Arman,
I Had got solution for how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no, just go through the below link it also gives how to use COIB transaction.
COIB transaction usage, how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no
But still I had not got solution for
how to assign common serial number for all FG codes automatically
Ex:- Sr No- 1 -> FG1,
2 -> FG1,
3 -> FG2,
4 -> FG1
- - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
Whether is it automatic serial number assignment is possible or not.
Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
Thank you in advance.

Serial Number. Production Order Confirmation. GR. UD. Sales Delivery

Hi Gurus,
Please help on this issue to get any user exits .....
As part of Serial number management, we have a certain issues on serial number confirmation, goods receipt from production order and quality inspection with UD.
Master data:
Finished product material master, Workscheduling view, Serial number profile maintained " ASRN"
Process flow:
1) Avalon Specific Serial numbers generation for finished goods through production order release status.
              (A11206000001)
                                    A - Avalon
                                    1   - PCB Unit 1
                                    12 - Year 2012
                                    06 - Week
                                    000001 - Running serial number for the week.
2) Production order confirmation through CO11n transaction.
3) Production order Goods receipt through MIGO transaction against order.
4) Quality Inspection with Usage Decision through QA32 transaction.
5) Goods Issue for Delivery.
SAP Product Error:
1) System does not track and control the operation wise confirmed serial numbers during order confirmation.
2) System does not track and control the finally confirmed serial numbers during order goods receipt.
3) System does not track and control the last goods receipt qty in Usage Decision.
4) For semi finished product, if we maintain serial number profile in workscheduling view, system is not showing goods issue material list in Co11n transaction for the finished goods.
5) Interfacing the serial number reading scanner with SAP, is not working without entering material number and serial number manually.
6) System does not tracking and controlling the last Usage Decision done serial number during Goods issue to Sale order Delivery.

Santha

Hi Santha,
This is a bit vast, but I'll try to address at least some of the issues:
1- serial number in operation confirmation is not possible, for the reason that serailization is part of stock management, and as WIP in an order, this is not stock yet. Actually you cannot confirm the manufactured material either, and those 2 go together.
For tracking specificly WIP, there's something called WIP batches; you may look into it to see if you can use it.
2- during GR system will propose those SNs that you have defined for the order at release or creation.
3- ?
4- GI in CO11N is provided only for BACKFLUSHED material components. Serialized materials CANNOT be backflushed.
5- You can use a barcode reader to read the serial number (instead of keyboard entry) when cursor is on the right field in the respective screen.
6- ?

Refrence number in Production order and purchase requisition

Dear All
This is MTO scenerio where sales order is created with refernce to quotation,
Subsequently in MRP run it creating sales order reservation for quotation number not sales for sales order number
similarly while creating purchase requisition it is displaying refernce number as quotation number
My requirement is instead of quotation number sales order number should display in production order and purchase requisition
All answers r suitably rewarded

Hi
Pl check schedule line category you have set for quotation.
In sch. line for quotation remove checkmark for transfer of requirement and remove automatic Pr generation.
This will give required result.

SD : Serial number in production order

Hi,
SAP doesn't copy my serial number set by function 'SERIAL_LISTE_POST_AU' into the production order. Why is this ?
When i go into the sales order i see the serial number, but after running mrp the number can't be found in the production order. When i go into the 'technical object' screen in the sales order and press 'ok' and then save the sales order, the serial does appear.
with regards.

Hi,
Pls find here some details about generating alphanumeric serial numbers in production order as below :
You can generate alphanumeric serial number with the following BADI / Customer Exit:
Name of Enhancement : IQSM0001
Name of Function Module Exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
Name of Include : ZXQSMU01
ZXQSMU01:
This user exit can be used to create the serial numbers automatically for material of a production order. Number of serial numbers generated will be equal to the total number of quantity. The purpose behind development of this user exit was to attach prefix in each serial number generated.
so as per your requirement you can generate serial number like ABC0001 etc.
Process Steps:
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get serial number profile for a material in respective plant.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If profile is u2018XYZu2019 generate the serial numbers for the given quantity of material in production order.
General Program Structure
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get the serial number profile using function module 'MARC_SINGLE_READ' for a material.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If the serial number profile is u2018XYZu2019 then generate the serial numbers for the given production order quantity of a material.
4. Concatenate ABC as a prefix to the all generated serial numbers
Provide above details reg. implementation BADI / Enhancement to your ABAPer and go ahead.
Hope this helps.

Serial number during production order release

Hi,
Currently I am getting serial number with respect to material specific, i.e., serial number generating with respect to FG codes. Ex:- FG1 - 1, 2, 3, 4 and FG2 - 1, 2, 3, 4.
But as per my client requirement, they want serial number without material specific, i.e., common serial number for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1-FG1, 2-FG1, 3-FG2, 4-FG1    - - according to production order releasing sequence.
Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
Thanks,

Thanks Glenn Larson,
This is the first time for me for creating serial number for FG materials.

Here the scenario is Make To Order. So this serial number will also be considered by SD during dispatch.
For serial number creation, I referred documents from SAP best practices(help.sap.com).
After this, now I am able to create serial number for specific material types automatically.
But here the condition is client wants serial number should not be specific to material codes but should be common throughout the plant for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1 for FG1,
                   2 for FG2,
                   3 for FG2,
                   4 for FG3
- according to production order releasing sequence.
Me dont know about Presort and IMB serial numbers.
Please tell me the appropriate approach I can make or any of links which I can refer.

Serial number in Production order

Dear PP colleagues,
I assigned the serial number profile to a finished material and create two production orders for it. I assigned two serial numbers ( A and B), in the first prod order, and in the second prod order (C and D). When I do good receipt by MIGO for first prod order, serial A and B are default there. But if manually change it to C and D, there is no any error or warning message. And this document can be posted in to stock.
That is to say serial number can be received that is different from in prod order header. Is this standard SAP function? Please help.
Regards,
Peng

Dear,
In the standard system,system allows us to manually alter the serial numbers in the MIGO screen eventhough the serial numbers have been assigned in the production orders.
But,please check with ur ABAPer such that we can make use of enhancements to have the required validation in this matter.

Joseph Charles Vaikathussery

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.

Order nUmber during production order create.

Hi All,
Please tell me the setting that I need to do so that Production order number is generated during Order creation. right now the number is generated during order saving and not during order create.

Hi,
You can do this in CORW, here you can maintain the value for your production scheduling profile as
Automatic Batch Creation at order creation, once you made this settings, just check that when you create the production order, the order number will generated in the Good Receipt Tab of the order.
Please check and revert.
Thanks,

Automatic capture of batch number as production order

Hi,
How to make the order number to capture automatically while confirming the production order.As it should pick the order by default in the goods movement screen.
Abap coding and user exit to perform this.
Regards,
Deepak GS

Hi,
Batch determination uses characteristic values assigned to batch classification for sorting batches and make a selection. A series of customization steps should be completed for batch determination. You will have to learn by reading SAP help or threads throughout this forum. Check out threads below.

According to which criteria do you want batches to be selected, order name? Are there batches in the system named after production order for components of the order? No matter what, selection must be based on batch characteristics.
