Considering stock for MTO

Hello Everyone,
My current client is using MTO strategy 20. As part of earlier production runs I would have built up for a specific sales order say 100. I would have delivered 80 and I would have closed the sales order.
Now imagine a case where I have received Sales Ord 2 for 50. How can I use the balance 20 stock for sales order 2? This has to be automatically assigned to the next sales order during the next MRP run and as a result, raise a planned order only for the shortfall of 30. Then I need not manually assign stock to sales order stock of SO:2.
How can this be achieved?
Sincerely,
Aji

Aji,
Or is there any other strategy group I can use where the sales order reference is automatically referred to the second sales order?
Of course. Any MTS strategy will automatically plan to use any stock overruns from previous production. Strategy 40 is extremely popular in this case.
If you wish to continue to use MTO, you must also consider what happens after the MRP run. If you figure out how to torture MTO MRP so as to consider MTO stock from a different segment (e.g., built against a different order), you still need to find a way to issue the stock, once the order comes due. In standard SAP, the system will not allow you to issue FG stock to a sales order, if the stock was created for a different sales order.
You owe it to your client to let him know that his business process is actually MTS. Once you have made all requirements to be anonymous, and all FGs stock to be anonymous, it is standard that overruns will be used to plan the 'next' sales order.

Consumption from Unrestricted Stock for MTO

Dear Experts,
Kindly help me in meeting the below requirement:
When I create a Production Order with reference to sales order (T Code Co08), the GI (MB1A - 261 Mvt) can be done only from the Sales Order Stock. The system doesn;t allow the unrestricted stock to be issued to production order.
The RM is batch managed, so the system only allows the Sales order batches to be issued only.
The requirement is to consume the RM (GI to Production Order) from the unrestricted stock.
Please help me with what class and requirement type should be used to meet this reuirement. And if there's a need of new class, kindly help me with the config steps (as detailed as possible) required.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit.

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for the quick response.
The Ind/Coll indicator in MRP4 view doens't help. Morover the production order is made manually (not through MRP run).
The special stock indicator in Prodcution Order can be changed but my requirement is to defualt that with a blank to allow unrestricted stock to be issued. It flows to production order through requirement class and type. That config I am looking for as changing it manually would not be acceptable to the client.
Regards,
Rohit.

Moving Average Price and Total Stock not updated for MTO scenario

We are using MTO with planning strategy 20, individual collective indicator is 1 (individual requirement only) and price control is V for finished goods. We are facing the following problems after we perform GR of above FG from MFBF (Repetitive -run schedule header):
1)Total Stock field (LBKUM)in Accounting View 1 remain as blank but the sales order stock is appear in Stock Overview screen.
2)Moving average price does not updated after periodic settlement is carried out.
It seem that problem can only be resolved if we change the planing strategy to MTS (ex:40), appreciate that if any of you can provide the solution.
p/s: on ECC5 system.

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
The standard SAP says as below
The Raw Materials should have MAP 'V' and the SFG and FG should have the price control as 'S' basically because the standard costing variant PPC1 uses the sequence of Standard Price as the first update at the time of price update and settlement.
I presume MFBF is used for Repetitive Manufacturing and not for MTO scenario...Repetitive Manfuacturing is MTS scenario...Goods receipt of production order is normally done through MB31.
If you still want to use the MAP for FG and SFG then you will have to change the costing variant appropriately to pick the MAP first at the time of goods receipt and settlement.
Please reward points if found useful.
Thanking you
With kindest regards

Considering Customer Stock for planning in factory location

Hi,
We have 2 customers which send us files with the forecast and the stock figures in their storage locations. When planning, we need to consider both together with our own stock for those articles. However, note that flows are not cross company, neither VMIs.
Stocks are only considered for planning so the idea would be to map the stocks directly in APO with IDOC Proact or a BAPI. Have you ever worked with a solution like this?
Article number are exclusive for each customer so I think that a solution could be to plan considering both stocks (at customer and in our plant) and the forecast that they send. Suggestions about creating stock in our plant which belongs to the customer?
Other alternative is creating the customer locations in APO but I am afraid that it is not fully compatible with R/3 and moreover, sales will be in our plant, and forecast in another (customer). P.e: when sales would create the Sales Orders in our plant to process the delivery, we would have double demand in our plant: from the customer purchase req and the sales order.
Could you please advice if you have worked with any similar flow? Which alternative might work better? Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Carlos

Hi,
Since you mention the value of the parts is very cheap, I would suggest to flag these materials as Bulk and plan them via ROP (say VB) & max lot size (HB). Maintain a suitable ROP, safety stock & max stock levels.
If you want you can also think of using ROP with ext. reqmts. (make a copy of V1 to say Z1) where-in you have flagged order reservation to be considered.
Do a test in your sandbox & if it meets your need adopt the same.

Vivek

Sales order to consider for MTO scenario

Hi PP experts
How to ensure the consideration of sales order requirements for MTS or MTO.
Is it possible to distinguish by order types.
I request please indicate the config requirements for this.
warm regards
sairam akundi

Sairam,
I am not sure as to what excatly you are looking for.
However please note the following with respect to sales order requirements for MTO and MTS:
For MTO: The requirements type in the procurement tab of the sales order should be KE or any other requirements type that supports procurement from sales requirements. To be able to enter the KE requirements type in the sales order the material master should have Planning strategy group which suppotrs MTO Example: 20 which is specified in the MRP3 view.
For MTS: The requirements type in the procurement tab would be KSL or any other which supports make to order. The Planning strategy group for this in material master should be 10.
The configurations for this include the
1) configuration of the Planning strategy group which contains a list of planning
strategies allowed.
2) configuration of individual strategies which combine the requirements types from Production and Sales. The requirements class which is keyed in the requirements type determines excatly how the planning and procurement occurs.
The above configurations are pre-defined in standard SAP. You could change them if you require to.
Check the configs under:
SPRO>SD>Basic functions>Av check and transfer of requirements.
With the above basic settings, in case of MTO sales order would drive the production. In case of MTS production is carried based on forecast values (Planned independent requiremts irrespective of sales order requirements). The warehouse stock is then allocated to the sales order at the time of delievry.
For more help check the SAP online help on Planning strategies.
Hope above is useful.

the date is from 15.01.2010 to 15.03.2010 and for one plant
considering this example,
am having the opening stock from as 15.01.2010 to 15.03.2010 as 10,000 and the closing stock as 15,000.
but i need in month wise like below,
from 15.01.2010 to 31.01.2010 what is the opening stock and closing stock?
from 01.02.2010 to 28.02.2010 what is the opening stock and closing stock?

this is purely based on plant wise and not material wise?
could anybody say clearly how can i acheive this scenario?
i have referred MB5b,mc.9 transaction programs but still confused how to go with plant wise for a particular period?

Exclude QM lot stock for a perticular material and location for PPDS run

Hi Experts,
I would like to exclude QM lot stock for a perticular material and location for PPDS run. I have unchecked stock in quality inspection under productmaster/ Demand / availability stock in APO, but still QM lot is appearing in RRP3 view and considering for PPDS heuristic run.
Can you plesae explain how to exclude QM lot for a PPDS run.
--Kishore

Hi Kishore,
Some companies do not activate the iModel for Inspection Lots and manage the Inspection Lots as Quality Inspection Stock. For example this how it looks an Inspection Lot in RRP3 if you manage the Inpsection Lots as Stock in Quality Inspection:
Because you are using the iModel transferring Inspection Lots as QM Lots, you can not use the Stock in Quality.
You can read about it in the help of the field Inspection Lots in CFM1. This is the help:
Inspection Lots in Integration Model
You use this indicator to activate the transfer to SAP APO of inspection lots
that are relevant to stock.
Dependencies
You can only activate an integration model for inspection lots if you have
set in CIF Customizing that inspection lots should be transferred for materials
relevant to inspection lots instead of qualitiy inspection stock.
If the inspection lots in SAP APO are to contain the characteristic value
assignements of the batches assigned to them, you have to transfer the
characteristic value assignments to SAP APO before activating the integration
model for inspection lots. You can do this by activating an integration model
for stock.
Hope this clairy your doubt.
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Special stock for an STO and MRP segment

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein I need to differentiate between stocks for two diff. STO's in manufacturing plant coming in from 2 diff. plants. The demand at the recieving plant is through reorder point which then drives creation of an STO. I cannot use a MTO strategy as its on ROP. This material is on a MTO strategy at supplying plant while its on ROP (make to stock) at recieving plant.
Is there any way I could create a separate MRP segment or special stock for each STO at supplying plant?
Each STO has diff. label info hence we need to differentaiate stocks between STO's.
Das
Edited by: das k on Jan 26, 2008 12:12 AM

If you want to differentiate a stock .only way is to monitor is maintain 2 material code.

Interview Questions for MTO from SD point of view

Dear SAP Experts,
I would like to know in detail the Interview Questions for MTO from SD point of view.
Thanks
Bhushan

Hi,
Since MTO is more a conceptually driven scenario first you need to understand what exactly happens in a business.
1) Be clear on the strategy groups.
2) Be clear on the cost center assignments since sales order is cost object in case of MTO
3) So you need FI interface idea to execute MTO process.
4) Understand how the SD is informed after the production is completed for an MTO order.
5) Understand the movement types involved, since sometimes it may be required that this special stock may be needed to sent to unrestricted or perhaps assign it to some other sales order.
6) Know clearly about requirement type since thats the key which identifies an MTO order.
Make sure you als read the library. Hope it helps.

Planned cost for MTO

Dear,
Here in the company have the following situation:
The system appropriates the planned cost for the production order when the process is MTO.
Anyone know any way to settle the planned cost of the stock of free stuff and not the planning of the Order of production?
thank,
Sergio Navarrete

Ajay,
Here's an example:
This material is the planned cost for the stock free: Process MTS.
Standard Price 12,96
In the same material (special stock) planned cost came with the Production Order Sales Order. MTO process.
Standard Price 100,96
Order 20232271
So we can see that the cost calculated by the planned production order is very different from the planned cost of the same material for free stock.
Question:
You can make the system use the same cost of the planned free stock for stock of the particular process, such as material inventory value free, 12.96?
thank,
Sergio Navarrete

Settle ment rule for MTO

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me which settelemt category and who will be a reciever for production order in MTO.
i have bit confusion.
here i got the material as a receiver in settlement.
Please clear me.
Nilesh

Hi,
Which order type you are using and which settlement profile is assigned to it. To check it, please use KOAL T Code. Now double click on Order Type and check which Settlement profile is assigned? Now to check that settlement profile go through the following path
IMG > Controlling > Internal Orders > Actual Postings > Settlement > Maintain Settlement Profiles
Click on Settlement Profile. Now check that settlement profile which is assigned to that order type.
Now check the Default Object Type. it must be MAT .
The system considering the profile from strategy ex: SD1 - Sales order profile.This settlement profile itself settlement rule is assigned for MTO.
The settlement profile assigned to order type with standard sett profile (PP01) at OK07.
Hope clears to you.

Separate stock for Exports

Dear all,
I have a Make to Stock scenario requirement as follows:
The client manufactures a particular material A as per demand planning. This material is maintained in storage location 1 in which there is 50kgs of material A available as on date.
Now an export order comes for material A for 10kgs. They dont want the system to consider the stock in storage location 1 as this is meant only for domestic orders. For exports the same material is manufactured with an alternate BOM. They want to maintain this export stock separately and the sales order must only consider the export stock and not domestic stock for export orders.
I tried giving a special stock indicator for the item category in export oders, but I am facing some issues with it during production and delivery. Can you please suggest me how to make an approach to this?

You can consider the following:-
1) exclusive storage location one for domestic and another for exports.
2) one shipping point each for domestic and exports
3) assign these combination in OVL3. That is for domestic shipping point, assign domestic storage location and similarly for exports.
thanks

MRP configuration Settting for MTO & MTS

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario.When we are running MRP for MTS,It should not consider the sales order so ,what are all the configuration settings should maintain to get result.
For MTO, sales orders should be considered.so what are all configuration settings have to maintain.
In this scenario, same Materials we are taking for MTS & MTO.
Flow chart,for your reference.
Plz guide me.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhargavi.

Hi Bharghavi,
In case of MTS, if you do not want to consider sales orders then you can use strategy 10 or 11....settings in the material master MRP3 view as shown below.....
In case of MTO use planning strategy 20 and make settings as shown below.....
as these are standard planning strategies no need to make any configuration....If you want to use both planning strategies for same material then check the link posted by Mr. Caetano
Using two planning strategies for the same material
Thanks
