Consequences of maintaining Plant Parameters

Dear All,
I would like to know that what could be the consequences for maintaing plant parameters under ' Inventory Mangement and Physical Iinventory ' for the plant which is copid from the existing plant for which plant parameters have not been maintained.
This is what SAP is saying (the extract is from spro implementation guide)
Plant Parameters
In this step, you make the general plant settings for
Inventory Management. All settings are also contained in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide for Inventory Management. If you want to allow negative stocks in your plant, you have to set the XBKNG indicator in addition to the settings in this step. To maintain this indicator, choose the step Goods Issue/Transfer Postings -> Allow Negative Stocks in Customizing.
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you do not make the plant settings here, but in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide, so that the settings here are not without a context. Dependent settings are not contained in this step.
Activities
If you have created a plant in the enterprise structure using the Copy plant function, you do not need to make any settings.
If you have created a plant manually, you have to create a new entry for the plant parameters.
What should I do? Should I go for it or not?
Thanks and regards,
Saleel Kulkarni

Hi,
If you created a plant by copying the standard plant 1000 , the plant paramaters foe inventory management will automatically come to your newly created plant. N o need of creating parameters separately in inventory management. If you create the plant without copy function you have to maintain plant parameters. I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

Difference between To maintain and initial in plant parameters in MRP custo

Hi, Gurus,
Can anyone explain me about the difference between status showing
to maintain and initial in plant parameters in MRP customization
Thanks & Regards
sathyanarayana

Dear Sathyanarayana,
In T code OPPQ - Maintain Plant Parameters,it does not
mean we have to maintain a value in all the parameters
present under different tab keys.
IF you check generally MRP controllers,Floats,Number
Ranges,BOM/Routing Selection,Planning horizon,Available
stock these values will be maintained.
Some of the settings like Start in Past will be as Initial(not
allowed in the past).
IF you use some special procurement key,then that settings
has to be maintained.
I hope this will help you.

Plant Parameters

Hi ,
Pls tell me how to maintain plant parameters?
And who is defining this Plant parameters PP or MM?
Regards
Gitesh

Dear,
Plant parameter you need to define in OPPQ. As it is relevant to MRP so its PP person responsibility but it is integration between PP and MM like number range for Purchase requisition. availability check etc.
Hope clear your Doubts.

Plant Parameters in GR Conversion

Hi All,
During GR conversion, we got the message,
"Plant parameters not maintained"
Any guess which plant parameters will have effect on GR conversion?
Thanks

How did you create a Plant. I mean to say Whether you have created a Plant with reference to another Plant. If this is the case Plant parameters will be automatically copied.
If you created a Plant using Create function You should maintain All the Plant Parameters in the SPRO -> IMG ->Mat Mgmt -> Inventory Management & Physical Inventory -> Maintain Plant parameters.

Hi
Go to SPRO>Production>Material Requirements Planning>Plant Parameters> Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters and execute. (Transcation OPPQ)
Select Maintain and give the plant

But, you need account assignment for non-valuated material for external procurement.
Hope it solves your issue.

Difference between MRP group and plant parameters

hai friends,
please let me know, what is the main difference between the MRP group and plant parameters?,
what are the extra activities or features with one, when compare to the other?.
Edited by: Mourya.v on Sep 22, 2010 6:36 AM

Dear Mourya,
Why to assign MRP group? - If planning for each plant is not specific enough for your purposes and you would like to assign
control parameters that differ from the control parameters defined for the plant to certain material groups.
1.For all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters that is the settings present in OPPQ, or the
entries in the initial screen of the planning run.
2.For all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group that is the settings in OPPR.
3.The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of
materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want
to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are
defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
4.The MRP group, groups material from the material requirements planning point of view to allocate them control parameters for
planning.The control parameters include the strategy group, the planning horizon and the creation indicator for the planning run.

About plant parameters

hi
   everybody
    plz. tell me
wat is mean by plant parameters
whrer we maintain it
wat functions or values we maintain for this
wat it effects in SAP
   where we use it
   give details
   thanks in advance

Plant parameters carries important control parameters during MRP run
when you convert planned order into a prod order, the order type is copied from the plant parameters (oppq>>planned order coversions)
During MRP run ( if MRP run type is NETPL - Net Change Planning with Plannign Horizon), the planning horizon period
is defined in the Plant Parameters (OPPQ>>Planning Run>> Planning Horizon)
If Order start date is in the past, the system automatic does forward scheduling. In some scenarios if its ok to
have order start date in the past then you make setting over here (OPPQ>>Planning Run>> order start in the past)
Like wise, Special Procurements key from issuing plant are maintained in the plant parameters
SMK is also maintained in the plant parameters
Under the setting of Available stock, what type of stock you consider as Available stock ( like Stock in Transfer, Blockedd Stock, Restricted Use Stock) is considered as
available stock
The plant parameters are maintained in OPPQ
Also, Before maintaining MRP plant parameters, you need to activiate MRP for the respective plant in OMDU

MRP Plant Parameters

Dear Sir,
What are MRP plant parameters?Pl.Explain in details?
Points will be rewarded......

Hi,
The In this step, you can maintain all the plant parameters
1.Environment : Here you define the number ranges and the Backorder checking rule.
2.Master data: Like mrp controller,Speical procurment type and the Float - scheduling marging key can be configureed here
3.Conversion of planned order to productin order /Purchase requistion can be configure here
4. Planning urn : the selection of BOM ,Bom explosion,available stock etc and lot more can be configured here
Even though we have separate areas where we can define each of them separately here we can define most of the mRP related to single plant can be configured at this one.
Kindly let us know if this solves your query or if you are looking for anyother thing.

Error "maintain plant 3000 for sales area

hi,
We had two companies, 3000 and 9000. Sales order is created in company
9000, and delivery plant is 3000. however, the error message is
displayed " maintain plant 3000 for sales area". pls advice.

Hi Jojo,
Sales processing is carried out with respect to the sales area.
For a sales transaction, if u r using plant....then, plant has to be assigned to the sales organisation and distribution channel.
To assign the plant to the above stated org.units, U need to have plant in the list. Since the plant have created in other company code, U can never assign plant to the sales area of other company code.
U create a new plant in relevant company code...asign plant to company code, sales org. and dist. channel

Maintain plant specific safety stock

How to maintain plant specific safety stock for the same material.

Hi swetha
First Go to T : code : MM02 : change Material
Enter plant number for which u want to enter Safety stock
Goto MRP-2
Net Requirement calculation
enter safety stock
Use of safety stock :
Safety stock
Specifies the quantity whose purpose is to satisfy unexpectedly high demand in the coverage period.
The risk of shortfalls is reduced by having a safety stock.
Procedure:
With manual reorder point planning, you can enter a value in the material master record. However, it is merely for information.
With automatic reorder point planning and forecast-based planning, the system determines and adjusts the value automatically for forecasting purposes.
Hope ths solve ur problem

Error -maintain archiving parameters for outgoing documents in archive link

Hi,
I am trying to archive an outgoing document from SAP i.e. an invoice to a content repository using archive link and getting the below error:
Maintain archiving parameter(s) for output type RD00 (appl. V3)
Message no. VN096
Diagnosis
At the time of output determination, the archiving parameters for output type RD00 (application V3) were incorrectly maintained in Customizing.
Additional information:
SAP object:
Archiving object:
Procedure
Maintain the archiving parameters and repeat output determination for the required document.
Kindly help as to from which transaction I can maintain archiving parameters for this transaction ???
With Regards
Neha

Hi,
Which storage device are you using? I can only speculate the problem. Ok. So output type is configured properly. Can you check the object type for your document type in Transaction code OAC3. Check it should be VBRK. If it is not then change it to VBRK. Now go to transcation code OAD5 and check every thing is configured there or not. If it is all done then it should work. I presume that all basic customization is done in your system.

Carry out plant parameters

Hi Gurus ,
In SPRO -> MM-> Consumption based planning ->plant parameters -> carry out overall maintenance of plant parameters.
I am copying the plant parameters from plant 'X' to plant 'Y ' . But both of these plant are from different company codes .
What is the impact if the two plants are from different company code ? what changes do I need to do in plant 'Y' parameters after copying ?
Please explain in detail
Regards,
Saurav

Here is used to specify plant parameters for the material requirements planning, I also don't see the potential impact which might caused by different company codes.
In
Enterprise Structure
Definition
Logistics - General
Define, copy, delete, check plant
You could copy plant refering to template, which has company and plant's combination.

Maintain plant wise purchase document type

Hi,
I want to know that is there any way where I can able to maintain plant wise purchase document type.
Thanks.

Please make the following settings
Scenario:
Plant 0001 Should create only PO type NB and PR type NB
Plant 0002 Should create only PO type ZNB and PR type ZNB
TCode : OLME
Create new PR type by copying NB (all dependencies): ZNB <<<Separate number range can be used
Create new PO type by copying NB (all dependencies) : ZNB <<< Separate number range can be used
To avoid accidental assignment of (by users)
Remove linkage of NB PO type to ZNB PR type
Remove linkage of ZNB PO type to NB PR type
TCode: OMDT
Assign PR type per plant per MRP Group for MRP generated PR's
Once MRP is run for materials PRs are created as follows plant 0001 type NB and plant 0002 type ZNB, when they run ME57 to create POs from PRs, ZNB PO type will default to PR types ZNB and NB type to NB.
Authorization objects to be changed for each plant respectively (go to SU21 to look up)
Users of Plant 0001 can only create NB type PR and NB type PO
Purchase Order:
M_BEST_BSA   ACTVT=01; BSART=NB;
Purchase Requisition:
M_BANF_BSA   ACTVT=01;BSART= NB;
M_BANF_WRK ACTVT=01;WERKS= 0001 ;
Users of Plant 0002 can only create ZNB type PR and ZNB type PO
Purchase Order:
M_BEST_BSA   ACTVT=01; BSART=ZNB;
Purchase Requisition:
M_BANF_BSA   ACTVT=01;BSART= ZNB;
M_BANF_WRK ACTVT=01;WERKS= 0002 ;
Ofcourse you need to create output message config for each PO type.

PP- Authorization check to set plant parameters

Hi team,
I have created Ztransaction to maintain some plant specific parameters. I have assigned this new ztransaction to single role. Currently i have 12 plants and the user is requesting that only the respective plant users can able to maintain the entries for only the respective plant and not for all plants.
How to implement this?
your input will be very much appreciated.
thanks
psk

Hi,
As per my undestanding it's not fesible to define user-specific roles in SAP.
You can have SAP process-specific roles like purchasing/production/sales etc.
Each transaction related to above processes will have a authorization object linked to it which further will have different parameters on which we restrict the authorizations to users like plant/pur org/sales ord etc.
So looking at your scenario, define Plant specific roles with required authorizations and assign only roles of Plants to which you think that a user should get access.
For more inputs talk to your basis consultant.
Hope it will help.

Anup
