Creating a production order for a semi finished product

Hi
I am having a multi level bom scenario over here.
one of the bom components of the header material is a semi finished product.
I am using the planing stratagy 40 for that material.
in standard sap when i create a production order for header material. the requirement gets transerd to all the components. if the components are not available then only a requirement is placed. when i run MRP that requirement gets converted in to a planned order. which converts in to a purchase req or a production order,
well for my semi finished product. its a Work in process item. there wont be any stock for that item in the storage location any time.
what my requirement is. when i create a production order for my finished product it should automatically create a production order for the semi finished product.
is this possible with some configuration settings.

Dear Deepu,
for ur requirement u need to maintain MRP type PD for FERT material and also for ur HALB.
If u run MRP only, it will create planned order for FERT and for all its dependent requirement(for PD).
If u create order manually for FERT material then it will not create order for HALB material, u need to create manualy for this also.

Automatic creation of purchase requisition for semi-finished product HALB

Hi Gurus,
We want the MRP to generate automatically a purchase requisition, instead of a planned order, for a semi-finished product. Of course, we still want to be able to convert it to a planned order.
thanks
Jean-Francois Millaire

Hi Jean-Francois Millaire,
You want a purchase requisition after MRP run & you should also able to convert that purchase requisition to planned order,If i understood correctly, hope this is your requirement
First one is possible -in MD01/MD02 maintain create purchase requisition as "1"
Second is not possible,its not possibel to conver a PR(purchase requisition to Planned order where as vice versa is possible
confirm my understanding,pls revert if you differ

Valuated Sales Order stock for Semi-Finished Products

Dear Gurus,
One of my client faced the issue that the semi-finished products is valuated-sales order. We are in Mill Industries, downstream (steel processing). The situation is:
1. We use configuration material for both finished and semi-finished products. Both are valuated at standard costs with valuated sales order stock.
2. Once the sales order is created, the cost estimates are created for both Finished, and semi-finished products.
3. The production orders is created for the semi-finished products. During production, several semi-fg and fg can be manufactured at the same time. We are using the co-products feature to cover that.
4. During the goods receipt of semi-finished products, instead of using the standard costs in sales order cost estimate, it use the planned costs in production orders which against our design.
I tried to use the user exit COPC002 and influence the standard costs. But it seems that the routine is not called for semi-fg at all. Anyone has any light on this?

Hi
I think you are talking about Special Stock "E"...ie) Sale Order Stock...
If my understanding is correct then,
If you go and see the Table T156....For the
Movement Type: 101,
Special stock Indicator : E,
Qty. Updation Checked,
Val. Updation Checked,
Movement Indicator : Against PO,
Consumption Indicator: Sales Order Stock.....combination....the transaction Event Key....GBB only has been Assigned....these settings you cannot change...
This linkage you can view in OLMW-----> Account Determination -
> Acc. Determination W/O Wizard -
>Account Grouping....also
Reward if useful

Creating finished-product with necessary semi-finished product with BAPI

Hi,
I really need help to be able to save materials made up of several parts with BAPI.
Let me show you the idea by using the example of car (finished product):
Car is built from a lot of components, for instance:
- 1 engine
- 4 tires
- 2 front lights
etc.
My task is to implement a method responsible for creating a finished product and all necessary semi-finished products which are connected with ready prod and save them in SAP. Furthermore I've got to create a bill of materials.
Has somebody faced such a problem? How have you solved it?
Looking forward your answers.
BR,
Rafal

ok....but do u know which option I am supposed to enable to create BOM?
According to my best knowledge there is no BAPI to create BOM...i tried to find.
I found out that I have to create material master record for trading goods(type: HAWA ) and create Semifinished products (HALB) by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA (hopefully I'm right), but I still don't know how to connect them with each other and then use to create BOM.
Every help will be warmly appreciated.
If somebody may provide me an example it will be great.
BR,
Rafal

Posting of semi finished products

Hello Everyone,
I had an issue regarding posting of semi finished products. Earlier during production, Production executives had created some production orders for semi finished products and had not transferred the corresponding quantities to the store. Still production continued for the top level finished products and GR has occured for the same. Later these production orders for finished products were also set the status TECO.
Now upon analysing the system still shows the production orders open for the semi-finished products. Now its practically impossible to trace back against which superior level order this semi finished order is raised.
Moreover since these orders are still open, the system does'nt raise additional orders for the corresponding quantities wheras these orders were raised earlier for previous orders.
I would greatly appreciate any help to tackle this issue.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hi,
Pls run the optimiser with prod = A and Loc = A+B
It should work fine. Also in the t code /sapapo/mvm, check if the check box for 'No planned orders without source of supply' is clicked or not. If it is clicked, then you need to maintain a PPM for prod A at loc B. If it is unchecked, optimiser will create planned orders for A at loc B even without a PPM.
Pls let me know if this helps.

Hi,
A suggestion:
Since you mention the children were not issued to the parent orders, but yet the parent orders were completed & TECO'd in the system, run COOIS report by selecting Components as the list option & entering the components for component & tick the checkbox reduced reading for which you're facing this issue.
Now using filters, exclude components which are deleted & issued completely. This should give you a finite list of orders for which these components havent been issued. Now you will know to which orders these components need to be issued. Having said that, before proceeding to post these components to the SFO's check with your finance personnel as many of these SFO's could have already been settled.

STO for semi finished product along with returnable package

Dear Experts,
I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
Regards
sai krishna

The packagings material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method.
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material

Creation of Production order for FInished Product through Project

Hi,
Pls clear me on how we can create a Production Order for finished product.
If we confirm the production orders in PP, cant the same be confirmed in PS.. Should we consider the same activity types in both PS and PP
Pls clarify

hi srikanth,
your answer has been very helpful... but could u clarify why MRP is run in MD51 for WBS element and in MD02 for network..
Pls clarify... My scenario is like this ...
A
                        B                                                                                C
                D E F G H I                                                                                J K L M N O
I have a Assemblies B and C which are always delivered in sets.. under assemblies B and C, we have 6 sub assemblies which has its own components. I am assigning sub assemblies to differenet WBS elements 01 and 02. so, initially these sub-assemblies are produced to stock. this should happen in PP i.e., through production orders generated in MRP run ( MD51 ). In the next phase i will assign Assemblies B and C to another WBS element. Again system should generate two Production orders thru MRP for this. Here the 6 sub-assemblies produced earlier will be consumed in confirmation of the production order...
What i am doing is this correct...
and the procurement for the components is happening thru the purchase requisition generated via MRP. the components themselves are not directly assigned to the project..
Pls advise and clarify?

Moving average price for semi finished products

Hi
Could anyone light on this issue,
Our client maintain moving average price for the semi finished material, need clarification on below points
1) What is the advantages and disadvantages due moving average price,
2) Which price in the material master after the production order settlement,
3) Is there any impact of this on WIP calcaultions
Thanks in advance
Mohan M

Hi
there are no advantages of it, ONLY Dis Advantages!!!
That will ruin your inventory valuation forever.. Consider the eg below if your price control is V
1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and at period end if Qty is lying in stock, 10 variance will also be inventorized
BUT, now consider this
1. 1. Your moving price in mat master is 100 USD
2. You Mfr on Jan 1 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
3. You Mfr on Jan 10 @ Actual cost = 110 in Prod order and Qty = 1.
Upon GR, GR will happen @ 100 and variance lying is 10 in prod order
4. On jan 15, you consume Qty 1 and qty lying in stock is 1
5. In period end, when you do settlement, following will happen
a. For prod order 1: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price will shoot upto 110
b. For prod order 2: Qty Mfd 1 and Qty lying in stock 1 - Result: variance 10 will be inventorized.
Mvg Avg price (MAP) will shoot upto 120
System wont check whether the qty lying in stock pertains to prod order 1 or 2... It will simply check if the Qty of prod order matches with qty lying in stock. hence, it will keep on inventorizing variance in this case.... and your MAP will touch the sky

Authorisation for Semi Finish Product Only....

Hi Experts,
I want to give authorisation for MM01 transaction and for only material type 'Semi Finish'. How to give only for Semi Finish to create?
For display I want to give full authorisation ?

1. Use transaction MMB1 which is specially designed for creating semi-finished products. However I don't know of this really blocks the road for creating materials of another type.
2. If you really want to authorize on Material Type you need to set an authorization group on the material type. In SPRO: Logistics - General --> Material Master --> Basic Settings --> Material Types --> Define Attributes of Material Types. Select Material Type HALB and type in a ctext of your choice in the Authorization Group field (tip: just use the name of the Material Type: HALB).
Restrict on Authorization object M_MATE_MAR as follows:
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    01, 02
Authorization Group HALB
M_MATE_MAR
Activity                    03
Authorization Group 0-HALA, HALC-Z
Good luck!
Points are always appreciated!
Kind regards,

How to create production order for multiple items having common raw materia

Dear all,
We are running a sheet metal fabrication company at Vadodara Gujrat.
Please guide us how to create single production order for multiple items using single raw material??
For example, We want to produce baby shirt(item code AAA001), shirt with full sleeve(item code AAA002), shirt with half sleeve(item code AAA003),shirt slim fit (item code AAA004),shirt loose fit(item code AAA005) from single raw material say(item code XXX001).
Right now we have to create 5 production order to produce above 5 items of single sales order in SAP B1 though it is made from single raw material which is foolishness and time consuming too. (Please also note that to produce any finfish good item, raw material required for that item may vary every time in our process.)
Kindly guide us how to solve the problem.
Thanks.

Hi Rupesh Gorashiya,
This is possible through MRP for that you have to put Sales Order first and Run MRP Wizard
MRP Wizard Put Multi Production Order as per Item Taking in Sales Order just click it on and execute.

Create a Production order for rework

Hi,
I would like to create a Production order for rework.
But I don't want to do it in the master PO with trigger point.
I would like to create a new PO for rework and asign to account to the old or master PO.
I've tried to do it but I want to know if it's correct.
CO07, maintained the qty, in the settlement rule maintained (category= order,settlement reciever= master PO number) released the order and by confirmation where can I maintain the qty? (as Yield or as rework qty)
Thanks

Hi,
Use T code CO07- creation of PO w/o material, settelment rule as u mentioned and the quantity has to be maintained in rework.
When u confirmed the order and settel it, it will be settel againts the main order.

Is it possible to create a Production order for consignment fill-up?

Dear all,
As you know, the consignment fill-up is for delivery the own stock to customer special stock.
But our customer request, they want to create a Prodcuction order for the consignment fill-up.
The design flow is like below:
Consignment fill-up -> MRP -> Production order -> GR the FG to local storage location -> Outbound Delivery to customer special stock
So could any one tell me is it possible?
Because I have tried to change the configuration for it, but always failed.
Tks
David

MIC's of finished product should get transferred to Semi-finished product

Hi all,
I have the following requirement
Based on the Customer requirement, sales order will be created. Two line items will be created in the sales order.
First item: 100kg
Second item: 5 kg (this will be the sample to be sent to the customer for approval)
first item and second item will have different material codes.
Now the process order will be created,released and confirmed. 04 inspection type will be activated for the material.
The MIC's of the finished product ( A) should get transferred to the semi-finished product (A1)
For X customer the MIC's for finished product (A) is a1, a2 and a3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
For Y customer the MIC's for finished product (B) is b1, b2 and b3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
The material code for the finished product will be different, but the semi-finished product (A1) will be same always.
When ever inspection lot gets generated the MIC's of the finished material should get transferred to semi finished product
Kindly provide your valuable inputs to address this scenario
Regards
Hari

I think I understand what you are attempting to do. The bottom line is that you are trying to use one material number to serve as the "sample material" for all your products. Lets call the sample material mrtrl# 9000122.
You have a make to order process so you first create a process order for the product and inspect it according to the customer's requirements. You make the UD.
Now when you make product A, you want those characteristic MIC values to copy to the sample material 9000122 inspection lot which is created from a separate process order using product A as the raw material.
When you make product B, you want those MIC charcteristic values to copy to the same sample material 9000122 to an inspection lot created from a separate process order using product B as the raw material.
I am guessing the intent is to keep the batch number the same between the FERT product batch number and the sample material.
I would like to suggest to you two other alternatives which I'm not sure will work for your design but I think it is worth a try and might save some work.
1) Have you looked at setting up your sample product as a by-product of the first process order? You can confirm the finished qty and the sample qty from the same original process order. This will then create your two 04 inspection lots. You would recrod results on the first primary product. Then enter results recording and I think you'll be able to have that set up to copy over the resutls from the primary product. If you can't with the standard SAP, I beleive you'll find the ability in copy inspection results to add your own custom FM that would do the copy for you that you are looking for.
Of course the inspection plan for the by-product sample will have to have all the characteristics in the plan that could ever be expected from any primary product using this process.
2) The other possibility would be to just have the person making the UD on the primary inspection products inspection lot, to post a sample qty "to other quantity". They would always of course post to the sample material. If the characteristics in the lot match up to general characteristics in the batch class for the sample, the resutls will be transferred to the batch. Report your sample reuslts from the batch record and the specs from the inspection lot in the COA.
