Consumption indicator

Dear all
ours is planning with final assy(stratagy is 40)
while creating PIR through md61, what is the consumption indicator to be used 1 or 2 or 3
what is the difference
in our case it is taking bydafault it is taking 1 (consume only with customer requirements)
when can we use forecasting in MD61
In addl data what is the use of acct assignment category

q1.Consumption indicator :
*The consumption indicator controls which requirements (customer requirements, for example) are used to consume planned independent requirements
*.This consumption indicator is only dispalyed int he md63 screen - this is displayed as per the configuration set up for the strategy.
q2:account assignment category
*The account assignment category determines which account assignment data (such as cost center, account number and so on) is necessary for the item.
*Let us say if we are working with a MTO configurable material then we will have a sales order as the account assighnment category.
revert back for clarification.

Determination of Consumption indicator in Material document (MSEG)

My question is about how the Consumption indicator gets set in a material document. Everything comes from somewhere in SAP...
I have two movement types, 901 and 900. 900 is configured to be the reversal movement for 901. Both these movement types have Consumption posting indicator "G - Planned withdrawal (total consumption)" in OMJJ movement type configuration (field T156X-KZVBR).
When the 901 movement is done, the consumption indicator in MSEG is [[blank]] (field MSEG-KZVBR). When the 900 movement is done, the consumption indicator in MSEG is V = Consumption. Why are they not the same? How does the entry in MSEG-KZVBR get determined, if not from T156X-KZVBR?
Other information: both movements are delivery movements. 901 is typically done from transaction VL02N Delivery change or VL06G Goods issue due list, while 900 is done using transaction VL09 Reverse delivery goods issue.
Thank you in advance if you are able to help.

@Esther,
For the delivery in question, LIPS-KZVBR is blank. This corresponds fine to the related field in MSEG being blank on the goods issue. But where could the the "V" indicator on the GI reversal come from? Both movements are for the same delivery item.
I have tried clearing out the "G" indicator in the movement type config (T156X-KZVBR) for first the 900 reversal movement, and then the 901 GI movement too, and still they post the same way, with the 901 GI having a blank and the 900 reverse GI having a V. Based on this I'm ready to conclude that the movement type config Consumption indicator does nothing, which shouldn't be the case?
@Indraneel,
I'm aware of the configuration of account assignment categories in Purchasing (in table T163K) and the Consumption indicator there, but how could that be playing a role in these Delivery-related movements? If there's a connection, maybe that's the missing link I'm seeking?
Thank you both for your replies!

Consumption indicator in transaction MD61

Hi,
I would like to know where I can control the setting of the consumption indicator (PBPT-VERKZ) in transaction MD61, Creation of planned independent requirements (the consumption indicator is found in the header of the transaction).
I want it to be set to 3 (Consume customer reqmts, reserv., dependent reqmts) and I am using planning strategy 40 for my material.
Anyone knows?
Regards,
Ola tornblom

Krishna,
I have tried to change the consumption indicator to 2 and 3 for requirements class 101, which is the requirements class used by requirements type VSF (for planning strategy 40).
It does not affect the default value of the consumption indicator in transaction MD61, for some reason. I think these are two separate settings, and the consumption indicator settings in the requirements class is not the same as in transaction MD61.
Try for yourself and you will be surprised!

Ola

Consumption indicator PIR Requirement class

In OMP6 and in md61 user parameters settings, i see these following options for consumption indicator for requirement class
Consume only with customer requirements
Only consume reservations, dependent requirements
Consume customer reqmts, reserv., dependent reqmts
Flexible Consumption for Different MRP Elements (BAdI)
No Allocation
but in "define strategy" configuration node, I see different options for consumption indicator for the same requirement class
No consumption with customer requirements
Consume planning with assembly
Consume planning w/o assembly
Consume planning material (w/o assembly)
what is the difference?

Hi Swathi,
I hope my explanation can help you.
consumption which you set in planning strategy and per requirement class has different function.
as we know, consumption in planning strategy has option:
No consumption with customer requirements
Consume planning with assembly
Consume planning w/o assembly
Consume planning material (w/o assembly)
This option has function if your planning will be consumed by sales order or not.
No consumption with customer requirements -> this consumption make your planning will not cosume by customer requirement, such as using strategy planning make to stock (strategy 10)
Consume planning with assembly                  -> This consumption make your planning will be consumed by customer requirement
Consume planning w/o assembly                   -> This consumption make your planning will be consumed by customer requirement, but only use for planning without assembly (strategy planning 50)
Consume planning material (w/o assembly)   -> This consumption use for planning with planning material (Strategy 60)
Consumption in requirement class, is to define what kind of requirement will be consume PIR. (This indicator will be usefull if you set consumption in planning strategy) :
1. Consume planning with assembly
2. Consume planning w/o assembly
Actually, for planning strategy planning with final assembly (strategy 40) and planning t/o final assembly (strategy 50) consumption indicator will be set to 1 (consume only with customer requirement).
for strategy planning, planning at assembly level with final final assembly (strategy 70) and planning at assembly level w/0 final final assembly (strategy 74) consumption indicator will be set to 2 or 3 . why strategy 70 and 74 is set to 2 or 3, where will be consume by dependent requirement and reservation?
because with strategy 70 and 74, we plan not the finish good, but in semi finish good level.
so if we already plan in semi finish good, and there is requirement for semi finish to produce finish good, PIR that already create before (in semi finish level) must be consume with dependent req/reservation of finish good (to prevent duplicate production order in semifinish good).

Consumption indicator and allocation indicator

Hi,
I have a basic question,
In planning strategy we have two parts:
a. Requirements type for independent requirements
b. Requirement type of customer requirements
In the first part (reqmts type for indep. reqmts) we have consumption indicator which controls the consumption of planned independent requirements with customer requirements.
Similarly in the second part (reqmts type of cust. reqmts) we have an allocation indicator. I understand this controls the consumption of customer requirements. Can anybody explain me how this is different from the consumption indicator in the first part and how the consumption of the customer requirements takes place?
Thanks in advance!!
Snigdho

Hi,
1. First Planning indicator :
Controls the consumption of planned independent requirements with customer requirements
2. Allocation indicator:
Controls the consumption of customer requirements with planned independent requirements
3. Both of the values flow from the respective Rrequirement Clas, which is attached to a requirement type.
4. Your question.
Can anybody explain me how this is different from the consumption indicator in the first part and how the consumption of the customer requirements takes place?
The first part deals with how to reduce the PIR only where are the secnod part deals with how the Customer requirement/
Ex: Strategy 40.
Allocation ind and Planning ind will have 1-Consume planning with assembly
if you have a PIR on Oct 30 100 qty, when you create a sales order for 50 qty
after the mpr run you can see the PIR qty reduced to 50 in the md04 screen.
Kindly let me know for any clarifcations..

Consumption Indicator "V" and follow-on activities

Hi,
We are considering using Consumption Posting Indicator = V for sales orders due to a technical issue we have passing data from CRM to ECC.
I am not sure what V is used for normally and what unwanted processes it may trigger. Using V, I have been able to run SO's through VL01N GI and 3rd party SO's through procurement with no apparent problems so my quesiton is:
1. What is V normally used for
2. What issues can I expect creating SO's as V and then doing normal PR/PO activities against these SO's
Thanks in advance!
Mike

PIR Consumption - Sales Order & Service Order

All -
I've come across an issue in our system as it relates to PIR consumption. We create a PIR forecast which is designed to be consumed by orders. (MM strategy group 40, PIR consumption indicator 1). PIR is successfully consumed upon sales order creation.
In the same area of our business (aftermarket service and repair), we also require PIR consumption when component requirements are added to our repair service orders.
With the current setup (strat 40, CI 1), the PIR is not consumed after service order component addition. It adds to the total material requirements.
I've altered our settings across the board to account for both order types, however, i am hitting a wall as to if my new settings are a help or a hinderance.
New settings are (MM strat 40, MM mixed MRP mode 3, PIR CI 3).
Visually, i can see that my total PIR count is actively reduced via MD04 monitoring, however, when looking at the PIR directly, I see that the PIRs have not been consumed. Instead they are still active and the reqs are hidden.
I don't know if consumption of PIR is allowed for multiple order types. I know that strat 40 directly relates to sales order requirement planning. I do not know if there is a strategy that works similarly for both sales order AND service order types. I'm also very skeptical of using mixed MRP mode 3 to accomplish the PIR consumption.
Could anyone enlighten me on this? I can't find any information on this sort of order types with consumption. If it's not possible to combine order types with PIR consumption, so be it. I'd just like some info.
Thank you in advance,
Ehren

Sure thing. I'm running in our test client for the results, but my settings are identical:
Image 1 = MD04 result of addition of PIR using VSF with consumption indicator 3:
Image 2 = Addition of sales order requirement for the same part, VQTEST1. Successfully consumes qty 1 of PIR material:
Image 3 = Modification of service order to add qty 1 of component VQTEST1. Rather than consuming one of the remaining PIRs, the order created a new requirement above the PIR forecast:

Restricting PIR consumption based on custom Order Type

Hello Experts,
We have implemented BADI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS in our system ( Version 4.7 )so that we can restrict the consumption of Order Reservations.
For this we have added code as per OSS Notes# 608760 and 127370 for the BADI Interface.
We have included MRP Element "AR" so that consumption can happen for the order reservations.
The BADI is restricting consumption of PIR now for the order reservations, but now we want to restrict the Consumption of independent requirement only against reservation generated by customized Order type ( Say ZXXX ).
Does this functionality exist for this BADI? If yes,then how can we implement this?
Regards,
Debasish Sahu

Hello Prakash,
Thanks for your response.
The Def. Documentation does not describe how the process is carried out.
The documentation is as follows:
Application component: PP-MRP, PP-MP-DEM, PP-MP-LTP
Function group: M60A, M61X
You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to make the consumption and reduction processes for planned independent requirements more flexible.
In the SAP R/3 standard system there were previously four possibilities for consumption and reduction of planned independent requirements (planned independent requirements consumption indicator):
SPACE     no consumption
'1'     Consumption with customer requirements (planned independent requirements)
'2'     Consumption with dependent requirements, dependent and manual reservations, release order requirements from stock transfers (dependent requirements)
'3'     Consumption with planned independent requirements and dependent requirements
You can use Business Add-In MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to realize consumption processes in which there are controls to define for each MRP element whether consumption or reduction should occur.
This Business Add-In replaces modification note 127370 in release 4.70.
&PRECONDITIONS&
&STANDARD_SETUP&
o     The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.
o     The system cannot be used multiple times.
&ACTIVITY&
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_MRP OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_IMPLEMENT OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
&EXAMPLE&
In the sample-coding, planned independent requirements with consumption indicator '4' (see method documentation) are consumed against all of the consumable SD document types (sales orders, SD scheduling agreement schedule lines, deliveries) and release order requirements from stock transfer purchase procurement proposals (purchase orders, purchase requisitions, scheduling agreement schedule lines, planned orders).
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
<DS:IO.IF_EX_MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS        CHECK_PIR_CONS_REDUC> Documentation on BAdI method CHECK_PIR_CONS_REDUC
There is no details on the manner in which we implement this functionality.
Please let me know if this is of some help.

Requirement class- consumtion indicator and requirement reduction indicator

hi
in DEMAND MANAGEMENT WE CAN SET REQUIREMENT CLASS
can any one elobrate whats the difference between the consumption indicator and requirement reduction indicator.
in help i dint get any explanation regarding the indicators which we need to se at requirement class
in siemens material i got the diff on between but i couldnt understood
can any experts elobrate the issue.
the explantion is like that
consmtion is not the only integartion between actual sales requirements and PIR. reduction of the PIR will also takes place asa result of the sales requirement.
Reduction is the process of actual reducing the value of PIR and its stored in the system. where as during consumtion the actual value stored was not changed, only the quantity passed to planning was lowerd.
can any body elobrate the above statement
regards
sasikanth

HI
Consumption indicator
The PIR are consumed with respectve to sales order
requirement reduction indicator
make-to-stock production is reduced by customer requirements which are planned as sale from stock

Consumption of requirement against stock transfer PR

Dear guys,
I have a scenario in which in plant 1000 receives stock transfer PR from plant 2000. I put PIR of 100 qty. in plant 1000.
I am receiving stock transfer PR of 50 qty. from plant 2000.
In plant 1000 it creates additional requirement of 50 qty. apart from 100 qty. against PIR.
iS THERE ANY SETTING SO THAT IT WILL CONSUME MY PIR QTY.
Regds
Laxmikanth

HI
You need to activate BAdI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS and in OMP6 change consumption indicator to 4,Also ur mixed MRP indicator should be 1. Then only ur PIRs will be consumed by STO.,Also while giving MD61, in user parameters the consumption indicator should be 4.
Check and revert

Distr. Key GLEI in Prod. order not getting reflected in SCM product view

Hi,
We have the CIF integration model active to transfer production orders from R/3 to SCM-APO.
When we create a production order in R/3 it is getting transferred over to SCM and can be seen in Product view for the material-plant combination.
If we have the distribution key as GLEI on the production order in R/3, and we looked at stock requirements list-MD04 the receipts were split across evenly from the start date to the end date of the production order.
However, in the product view of SCM, the material was shown as available only at the end date of the production order with the full quantity.
Please provide any pointers as to something we might have missed out that made the CIF'ing not work properly...
Thanks & Regards,
Renjith John Andrews

Hi Renjith
Yes I do mean the Production Process Model. To check setting you need to do the following:
Transaction /sapapo/scc03
Click on choose plan via PPM and enter your material and location and press change.
Double click your operation
Double-click your activity
On the components tab you should see your "Output" material (Type O in I/O Indicator field), next to this should be the consumption indicator field. This is the one that has to be set to 'C'.
Hope this helps.

Error while doing outbound delivery against Purchase Order

hello
i m getting error while doing Outbound delivery for purchase order as follows
EKPO-SOBKZ=E; EKPO-UMSOK=_; EKPO-KZBWS<>_ EKPO-KZVBR<>E (Note 305582) not supported (check your entry)
Message no. M7146, i m not getting wht will be the reason,
Regards
NISHJ

Please go through the note - 305582. It is clearly given the direction.
Symptom
You try to post a goods movement for a stock transport order from the unrestricted-use stock into the sales order stock or project stock.
During the goods issue, the system displays error message M7146 with a text along the lines of "EKPO-SOBKZ=E; EKPO-KZVBR<>E; ... not supported".
Cause and prerequisites
In the goods issue for the stock transport order, the system may have to create a stock in transit which is deconstructed during the goods receipt. If the withdrawal takes place from the special stock, it is clear which is the receiving stock.
However, if the withdrawal is carried out from the unrestricted-use stock ("Collective requirements", controlled by the dependent requirements indicator MARC-SBDKZ in the material master of the issuing plant), this results in the design problem that the control tables of the goods movement do not have any key field for the receiving stock. Therefore, the control for the receiving stock is controlled via the consumption indicator in the account assignment category of the purchase order. The consumption indicator therefore requires a specific default setting (you may have assumed you could change the design of these control tables, however this is not possible).
Using an inappropriate consumption indicator then causes for the goods issue an incorrect or no stock in transit to be created so that the goods receipt fails.
Solution
Implement the program change in accordance with the correction instructions.
Afterwards implement Note 413908 immediately if this is relevant for your release.

MTS Scena. but after creation of SO & mrp run ,double requiremnt generated

Dear Gurus and Sir,
Good morning,
Client Has Make to order scenario. Scenario is as stated below
company is into making "Machines which manufactures bottles" which is a standard product for client.
Hence as per experiance, Client manufactures the Machines in adavance for the Stock.
As and when sales requirement is observed, machine is assembled with the changes asked by customer.
For Make to Stock Scenario.
Standard Machine code (11digit) is avaialble with BOM. The same code is used for Long term planning.
After receipt of order, customer wise MAterial code is generated. The above stadard code becomes child of This new material code.
The changes are addressed to customerwise material code.
This customer wise material code is nothing but dispatchable assembly as per customer requirements.
The Stratergy used for Stad. M/c code in MRP3 view is 40 and in MRP4 collective indicatior as 2.
The stratergy used for customer material code in MRP3 is 50 and w/o collective indicator.
Hence there is a std. bill of material for standard machine. MD61 plan will run against the same std. code.
MD61 is having Consumption indicator stated as 3.
As soon as Sales order is received, The MRP run is taken with command MD50.
During this MRP run, system consideres the Sales order requirement as a seperate Demand apart from Planned demand through MD61.
The system should not generate double requirement.
Needless to quote that raw materials and semi-finish items are planned in advance due to make to stock strategy.
"I have got one solution presently
that using MD02 take MRP run for common components
after receipt of sales order take MRP run MD50 for final assly.
system will not generate double requirement .
When MRP RUN taken through MD01,system generates double requirement. MRP run through MD01 run is required for VB marked items.
The std user Exit M61X0001 is available in standard SAP.
What should be the appropriate/correct solution for above stated problem.
Advance Thanks & regards,
Vidyasagar

Hi Vidyasagar,
In your case, MRP Creates sepearte dep requirements for customer demand.
As per ur settings, yor are doing procurement for std material before the receipt of sale order of customer material code.
u need not worry about dep requirements created against custome ordder. Bcz once u issue the std material to production order (while confirming production order created for custmer material from planned order) it will be reduced.
Please comeback

Account-assigned purchase order KBS is not activated

Hi Friends,
please expalin me maintain FI configuration; automatic postings procedures Account-assigned purchase order KBS transction account detemination is not activated.
Thanks
E.vasu

Hi,
KBS only define posting key (to which account the postings to happaen).In any account assign purchase order, system prompted to enter GL account (and CO object), which defined the account posting. Ex: Check in OMJJ - For mvt type 101 - update control - GR for acct. assgt. (consumption indicator V with quantity and value updation) - system defines postings as KBS and WRX, KBS refers to the consumption GL account.
KBS key doesnt require any additional settings in OBYC. It only looks for account specification in PO (say K /C/P) and GL account and can be assigned in OKB9 T.code.When we do GR for PO with account assign {KBS (consumption)}, it will debit the given GL account (assigned in OKB9 t.code) and credit GR/IR account (which define in OBYC).
