Costing - Multiple Production Versions and Recursive BoMs

Hi All,
We have a production and product costing scenario as follows:
Production versions 10, 20 and 30. It takes all three versions to manufacture the finished material and there are no intermediate products in this scenario. 10 and 30 are to be costed and 30 is a recursive BoM with the input from version 10 also being the output. 10 is the main production step with components but 30 is a recursive BoM sometimes only with the output material as the input and sometimes with a more complete BoM but which includes the output material as an input component.
The quantity input appears to be the same as quantity output for the recursive element.
If anyone has come across this scenario and you can let me know what design principles you followed I would appreciate it.
We are getting iteration error messages when costing production version 30 and even reducing the input quantity below 95% of the input as per the SAP documentation does not fix the error message.
Any help you can give will be greatefully received.
Thanks.
Regards,
Tim

Murali - Its possible to use multiple PV in sub contracting.
Settings in ERP :
1. In CFC9 activate the - Transfer multiple selection of PDS indicator. When you select this indicator, the system allows you to select several productions versions in the integration model; it also creates a Production Process Model (PPM) or Production Data Structure (PDS) for each production version in SAP SCM
2. Assign the PV's to the subcontracting info record through - Logistics - Central Functions - Supply Chain Planning Interface - Core Interface - Advanced Planner and Optimizer - Environment - Data Transfer -Assign Multiple Production Versions
3. When you select the integration model parameters for PDS, you have selected PP/DS Subcontracting as the PDS Type value. Similarly, for PPM, you have selected Subcontracting PPM as the Type of PPM value.
Subcontracting with multiple production versions is supported. However, the integration with an SAP ERP system requires at least SAP ERP 2005 with Enhancement Pack 03.

Receiver Determination when multiple Product Versions / identical namespace

Hi,
How would the receiver determination be done when we have multiple product versions with identical namespaces and interface names ?
During development, when we do a release transfer to another product version, the namespaces and interface names remain same as the current objects.
How would XI resolve the correct interface in this case ?
thanks,
Manish

The XI does not care about the application systems. When a message is received by the application, it knows, what to do with the messages.
The receiver could be an RFC call, an IDOC, an Abap Proxy, here the correlation between interface and Abap code is unique.
The receiver could be a File, or JMS adapter, here the correlation between interface and communication channel is unique as well.
You might reuse IDOCs or RFCs or in rare situations other interfaces in different software components and install them for the same application system. But you can only generate proxies from one interface.

Can we get Multiple production versions in APO

Hi,
Is there a way to get multiple production versions into APO, as the info record( we are using) is what drive the creation of the PDS in APO from ECC
Is there a way to find out how we can have multiple production versions in APO.
Thanks
Maddy

Maddy,
Standard functionality in APO is to support multiple production versions.
Production Versions are a standard object in ECC. They consist of a combination of a Bill of Materials, a Routing, and a few other bits of data. For a given material/plant combination in ECC, there can be many Production Versions.
Production Version - Repetitive Manufacturing (PP-REM) - SAP Library
These Production Versions are integrated in standard CIF via either Production Process Model or Production Data Structure.
Integration of Production Process Models - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library
Integration of Production Data Structures Generated from R/3 Mas - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library

Multiple Production Versions in Subcontracting Inforecord

Hi Gurus - I have a question on how to assign multiple production versions in Sub-contracting Inforecord?
I heard this functionality is available in ECC 6.0 is that true? If so how can I assign multiple production versions? What happens after we CIF across to APO? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

MRP Scheduling with a material with multiple production versions scrap rate

Greetings all.
I have a problem with MRP scheduling. How do you account for different loss rates or scrap rates on a material because of multiple versions of a material that are in production. For example, we have an item. There are two differen ways to make that item and both have different loss rates or scrap rates. How do we account for this. And whatt happens when you have these with multiple routings. Thanks.

Dear,
It can be handled in 3 ways.
1st way - Create 2 versions to represent 2 ways of production. Create a 3rd version name it as total and make it as a first version so that MRP will take this version for scheduling. In total version give the most correct scrap qty and timming in routing. Hence when you run MRP system will consider the total version, then change the varsion in planned order as per your requirement.
Second way - Create 2 version and if you are using Demand planning, in MD61 against the qty represent the version number so that when youn run MRP, the planned order will carry the version.
3rd way - Create 2 Production version and create a quota arrangement and assihgn these two Production version as Quota items and give the % share. Hence when youn run MRP system will share the demand qty into two different version as per Quiota arrangement(setting in MRP2 is necessary fir planning).
Please come back which one you are looking for so that we can give furthur information

LTP consider production version and not consider selection id for routing

Dear guru.
I run mrp long term planning for a material.
The material have a production version linked to a specific bom and routing.
In trx OPU5 I have defined that the planning scenario consider a specific selection id for routing , this routing is different from the routing of production version.
The result is that for this material ltp donu2019t consider any routing and no evaluation activity is possible.
Do you know a solution in order that for LTP the system donu2019t consider production version and instead only consider OPU5 settings ?
Thanks for your interesting.

Dear CONS SAP,
Create a new planning scenario in T Code MS31 and then maintain the scheduling parameters for this planning scenario and
assign this selection Id and then execute and check.
Check and revert

Best production version and master recipe?

Is there a way in SAP (ECC.5.0) to choose the best production version on its own besides the date?
Can MRP choose the best production version and master recipe on its own based on cost?
If so How? Config?
Please advise
thanks
Walter

Hi,
    MRP selects production version based on   Lotsize,Validity date and status.In R/3 ,we dont have functionality like
   1. Simultaneous MRP and Capacity Planning
   2. Best Optimum route of production.
This is very much available in APO only. You can use either of Quota arrangement or Capacity evolution functionality to distribute planned qty into other resources based on past experience.

Difference between production version and routing

hello pp experts,
                        why do we create production version, and what's the difference between production version and routing?

Dear sarfaraz lodhi ,
Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in the case of Discrete Manufacturing and it's a
combination of BOM & Rotuing/Rate Routing in the case of Repetitive Manufacturing.
Created either through MM02 by selecting MRP4 view or else through C223
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material.
It defines the following information:
·        Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
·        Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
·        Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
Routing contains the set of operation that's required for producing a product either a HALB - Semi-
Finished product or else a FERT - Finished Product.
The T code for creating Routing is CA01.

Hi Jan,
For the error "The product version and database version are not compatible", as Emma said, the version number of the Service does not match the database schema version.
In your scenario, which version of database are you using? Please note that MDS update required after SQL 2012 SP1 installation, please refer to the links below to see the details.

Adding fixed cost in production order and creating liability

Dear All,
We are manufacturing one of our grade of material in a plant which we do not own.We pay some fixed charges to the owner of that plant @ Rs150 PMT produced in that plant.This fixed charges is to be included in the production order and at the same time liability for that fixed charges is also to be created so that payment can be made to that vendor.
For charging this expenses to the production order we have created one activity type and one secondary cost element.But with this the liability can not be created.
Please advice how to proceed in this circumstances.
Regards,
Shivaji

hi
I am following this thread...but want to add some views on this..
As I understood from your requirement that you are sending this material to a third party for some conversion with a fixed charge...so you must have a conversion contract with that party. In my views the process should be...
1. Conversion contract with the party (MM)
2. Material will be received from third party with conversion cost at the time of GR (MM)
     Example... Original cost + fixed conv cost = GR value
3. Invoicing ... MIRO ..Party will be credited at fixed conversion cost
4, When the same material is issued to another prod order the GI will be at cost as per sl.2
   Please revert back if you have any question

Urgent :-PIR Saving w.r.t multiple Production version/Month wise

Hi,
1) Please let me know whether It is possible to enter Planned independent requirement saving in MD61 Txn code month wise & with respect to three Production version..
i.e. in detail,
I am having 3 alternative BOMs of the same finish material. I want save the Independent Requirement in a particular month with respect to 3 BOMs /3 Production Version wise in the same month.
After that I want to run MRP multilevel planning which will create planned orders of Finish Products & Dependent materials exploding corresponding BOM with respect to the particular Production Versions.
2) Please let me know the best suitable strategy which will not consider present stock & Production/Planned orders in hand , will only create planned orders from the PIR saved in the Demand Management.
Please sugggest the best way to do. I am in pressure from the client.
Regards

Hi
PIRs cannot be created for 3 production versions.
In MRP documentation, check for quota arrangement. Planned orders can be assigned to three different production versions in equal quantities by the quota arrangement.
MRp run reads the quota file MEQ1 when it has to distribute planned orders across three production versions.

Multiple LabView versions and file associations

I know this is a Windows problem more than a LabView problem but...
I have LV 8.21, 8.6, and 2009 installed and seemingly Lv 8.6 is the only version that is associated with .vi .lvprog, and the other LV files.
Really makes it a P.I.A. when doubble clicking on a LV 2009 project file and LV 8.6 starts.
I have tried changing the associations to the labview.exe in the Lv 2009 directory but it does not change the Windows file associations.
Has anyone else delt with this and come up with a soultion?

Here is my solution. (And, incidentally, the one point I DRIVE home to my co-wirers at work!)
Never ever ever open a LabVIEW object from Windows explorer! Always open them from the IDE.
Sea-Story time
Once upon a time I migrated from LabVIEW 5.1 to 6.i followed almost immidiatly by 7.0 (finally a stable VISA API) and in 3 months we jumped to 7.1. 4 versions in 6-9 months with projects in each. With 8 developers and 15 test stations all "synchronized" to a single SCC database. We learned some painful lessons about version control. After a few weeks of Windows choosing randomly what version of LabVIEW to launch each vi in we had pretty thoroughly corrupted the libraries on every machine. Reuse Vic's from 5.1 recompiled to 7.0, vi's in 7.1 cross linked to sub vi's in the 6.i area etc.... NIGHTMARE! We actually SHUT DOWN the lab for about 10 days while we reconstructed ALL of our code and re-assembled the SCC database from the ground up.
At the risk of repeating myself- in a multiple version environment Never ever ever open a LabVIEW object from Windows explorer! Always open them from the IDE.
In a single version environment - Never ever ever open a LabVIEW object from Windows explorer! Always open them from the IDE. it will teach you bad habits the will hurt later.

MRP Run with production version.

Hi Experts;
I am working as a member of a SAP implementation supporting team. The client wants to run MRP with alternative BOM, not with the 1st BOM. As a solution for the requirement i created production versions and assigned to MD61 schedule line tab. It is working properly.
But the user maintain some quantity as a safety stock for finished materials also. To cover the safety stock requirement, system create planned orders with the 1st BOM, not the production version.Already i have maintained the selection method "3" in material master.
Is it possible to cover safety stock with alternative BOM.
Please help..
Thanks,
Malka

Hello Malka,
For your issue,,
As per other expert suggested you can block the first production version but if in future you want use first production then,,
In these case you maintain production version in many way
Ex.
1. Lot size .(if production version using for specific lot)
    Maintain the Lot for both production version, so Production version 1 lot completed system take       second production version.
2. Production version validity date (If production version using for specific period )
    In this case after completion of 1. Production version period system take second one
3. Manually selection of production version (If multiple production version and all have same condition)
    Whenever you convert the planned order to production order, one pop up come and ask for                manually selection for Production version, for this you go to OPL8 and select the Manually                production version
I hope this information cover your all requirement, No need to go with quota arrangement
Still you want know about the Quota arrangement, Please create new thread so other expert also provide their view

Quality plan as per production version

Hi SAP gurus,
My client has multiple Production versions and they want to use different Quality plan as per version , how I can map this process in SAP.
I tired using in production version by putting Qualiity plan instaed of routing, Inpection lot is created but when it come for the production order it was asking for the routing / or operation generation.
As few specfication of Quality plan is different , that is the reason Plan has to be specific to PV.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Even if you create a Inspection plan you might have observed in the production version you have to specify the Routing.
Reason is syem will check the routing for cost collector in production order.
what you can do is may be you can carry out inprocess inspection with routing & specify the char in the task list
or
You may have to go for userexit while selection of the task list you will select the appropriate task list with appropraite prod version
Also if you creat two inspection plan with two gr counters & do not tick on "Auto Assign" in the QM view,
System will create a lot of 04 with CRTD status.
In QA02 you can go & manually attach the relevent task list.
What you can do is create a Group with name of "prod version" itself.This will ease the attaching of the tak list to the the lot.
I hope this will add some value.

Sujit
