Creating PPDS PPM

Hi, While trying to CIF PPM in APO 5.0, getting the error "Activity Network is not complete"
Message no /SAPAPO/PPM_MAINTAIN517
Diagnosis
The activity network does not include all activities of the PPM.
Procedure
Check that the activity relationships of your PPMs are complete.
Any remedy??
Regards, Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,
You need to check the activity relationships. Suggest you check each activitiy relationships (SS, SF, FS, FF) from Reference Type field and draw them out on a piece of paper to see if there is any activity which is not properly linked.
Remedy is to rectify any missing relationship in the PPM.
Thanks,

PPDS PPM to SNP PPM

Hello Experts,
I am CIFfing production versions to create PPDS PPMs in APO. From there I am creating SNP PPMs.
The question is, when I do initial CIF of all the production versions(some production versions are old and some are new), how do I find a list of the PPDS PPMs that are still not converted to SNP PPMs.
Also is there a list which shows PPDS PPM plan along with the respective SNP PPM plan?
I tried referring the table /sapapo/plan, but it just gives the plan number, date of creation etc etc. Not even the Input/ouput products and the location.
Regards
Manotosh

Hi,
Use the BAPI : BAPI_PPMSRVAPS_GETLIST to get the PPM details.
/SAPAPO/PLAN_GEN to get the details of SNP PPM generated from PPDS PPM in the coloumn Plan generated.

SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM and manually creating PPMs in SNP

I am a new user to APO and have a small question. I will appreciate if you could help me out.
We are implementing SNP, with plans to implement PPDS in the future.
Could you please explain the difference between converting SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM or manually creating PPMs in SNP.
Thank you

Manual creation of PPDS PPM in SCC03

Hello Experts
We are currently in process of experimenting PPDS PPM, since we have multiple components to sourced and produced from subcontractor. I need a step by step instruction of how to create manual PPDS PPM.
I did tried SCC03 and create Activity, resource and PPM but still I am missing something, and I am not able to acitvate my PPM. I used use of plan P to create PPM.
This is the scenario which I need help
I have 1 final SKU which has two components (Welcome Kit and Device)
Welcome kit delivered from a supplier
Device is assembled in one of our plant or we may decide to assemble at subcontractor location (we are still finalizing)
The above device has 100 to 150 components and sub-components which will be produced and delivered by the sub-contractors.
Thanks in advance!
Ash

Hi Ash,
I assume your execution takes place in R/3 / ECC, right?
Why you don't maintain the BOM, the Routing and the Production Version in R/3 / ECC and then create the PPM through the CIF? I think this is much easier.
Kind Regards,
Mariano

SNP PPM Generation after the delta change in PPDS PPM

Dear Colleagues,
In oss note 1172838 SAP AG states that there is no auto link to
generate SNP PPMs from PPDS PPMs,when PPDS PPMs are changed from R/3
and recommends the customers to do that manually.
Yes, that is possible if the company uses not more that 50-100 PPMs,
but that is not the case in our business.
We have ~10000 SNP PPMs and it is impossible to track the changes and
update the PPMs manually.
What we need (when there is a change in PPDS PPM) is a report which will:
1. Delete SNP PPM with invalid mode combination and the Production
(Planned) orders which use that PPM. The old SNP PPM must be deleted as
the existing name of SNP PPM is required.
2. Create a new mode combination taking into account the changes in the
PPDS PPM.
Then we will run transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_CONV_310 and generate the new
SNP PPMs.
Task in point 1 can be done with transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_DEL,
but it does NOT give us the possibility to select only SNP PPMs
with invalid/obsolete mode combinations. Besides that it can not be run in
background, but in foreground.
Would you share you experience if you have faced the same/similar problem.
Best Regards,
Alper Myumyun

Hi Senthil,
The problem is that the mentioned check does not work. I have even opened an oss message where I have got the following answer:
First you have to re-generate the SNP PPM (invalidity of the old mode combination will be generated) and then the
check will warn you about the invalidity.
This is so because at the first stage there is no issue of it being obsolete until a new one is created.
At the point that you Generate SNP PPM is when the mode invalidity is generated and not before. So its not possible for the warning to have come when there is no invalidity.
/SAPAPO/SAPLSCC_CPIT2 looks scary. There are tons of includes in it. Would you specify which one is used for the mentioned check? INCLUDE /SAPAPO/LSCC_CPIT2F09?
Thanks for your help.

PPDS PPM is deactivated

Dear Experts,
As we know whenever we put to (lock for any usage) a Production Version in R/3 this change is logged in table CIF_PPM_CHANGED which is then picked up by program RSPPMCHG. After running program RSPPMCHG the PPDS PPM in APO in return gets inactive and the description is changed to: Plan Invalid (Prod.Vers. Deleted in R/3).
The problem is our PPDS PPM is in inactive status and has a description: Plan Invalid (Prod.Vers. Deleted in R/3).
The change in PPM is dated 6/20/2011 in APO.
We already checked MM04 to display any changes for the material and the last change was dated 4/20/2011 for C223.
There is no change from 6/20/2011.
How come the PPDS PPM in APO gets inactive if there is no changes in the Production Version in R/3? Is there any other way to deactivate the PPM aside from running program RSPPMCHG? is there a log in APO to see the changes made in the PPM?
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks and best regards,
Marcus

Hi Nandha,
The Production Version is Not locked in C223.
I checked MM04 just now and the last change I see is dated 4/20/2011.
But in the PPM the change happened on 6/20/2011 and is now still Inactive.
We have a batch job running RSPPMCHG everyday.
Thanks,
Marcus

User exit to create template PPM

Help us to find the User exit to create template PPM.
The user exit need to have PPM type T so that when production version is CIF to APO , system will create template PPM.
Regards.

Please see if the user exits: EXIT_SAPMMDUSER_006 or EXIT_SAPMMDUSER_003 work for you.

SNP PPM Generation from PPDS PPM - Time less than 1 sec. in snp bucket con

Dear All,
Request immediate help .
(a) My PPDS PPM have time elements less than 1 seconds towards processing time and there are operations without a set up time .
(b) While converting such a PPM PPM into an SNP PPM I get an error of bucket consumption as SNP cannot convert less than 1 second into a daily bucket .
(c) I have to maintain the base qty in BOM and Routing as 1 unit hence cannot increase the same .
(d) Is there a way in which SNP PPM can be generated from a PPDS PPM wherein the PPDS PPM has only a processing time of 1 second and no set up time .
(e) Infact I have tried to convert the PPDS PPM with a time of 1.5 seconds but now I have lot of products where the routing suggests a processing of less than 1second and no set up . This is leading to a PPDS PPM of time less than 1 second and SNP PPM is not getting generated as guess it cannot convert a PPDS PPM with less than 1.5 seconds in a day .
Would appreciate a quick response .
Thanks and Best Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Hi
Firstly, can I ask why the base unit has to be 1, this seems a strange restriction?
If it has to be, then two possible solutions:
1) In the CIF enhancement CIFPPM01 you could multiply all values by, for example, 100 to give you larger values in the PP/DS PPM in APO and hence of a size that SNP conversion can cope with.
2) In one of the BADI's /sapapo/ppm_calc or /sapapo/ppm_gen you can do the same conversion factor if the PP/DS PPM has to also be 1 unit.
Hope this helps
Ian

Converting PPDS PPM to SNP PPM

Hello,
On converting a PPDS PPM to an SNP PPM which has multiple activities(operations). Is there a way to generate the SNP PPM the same number of activities included in the PPDS PPM to capture one Resource for each SNP PPM. Or it has to be converted multiple times?
Thanks.
Edited by: Wilian Segatto on Aug 18, 2010 3:19 PM

Hi,
Below is an example:
PP/DS PPM A
Activity 1 - Resource A
Activity 2 - Resource B
Activity 3 - Resource C
If PP/DS PPM is set-up like the example above, can this be converted to 3 different PPMs for the 3 different resources in one conversion? Or i would need to do the conversion three times to generate the SNP PPMs (examples below)?
SNP PPM 1A
Activity 1 - Resource A
SNP PPM 1B
Activity 1 - Resource B
SNP PPM 1C
Activity 1 - Resource C
SNP PPMs are set-up per resource to monitor utilization and capacity per resource. Also, resources are set up per production line in ERP.
Thanks

Unknown exception while creating Item: PPM 5.0 (SP11) + NW 7.41 SP03 + ECC 6.0 EHP7

Hi we recently upgraded from PPM 5.0 SP 9 to SP11.
Along with that we did below updates as well.
NW 7.02 SP10 --> NW 7.41 SP03
ECC 6.0 EHP5 --> ECC 6.0 EHP7
During creation of Item we are getting below error
Exception occurred in the update of the application object
Some points I have checked already:
1. New configuring: the complete new set of configuration right from New Portfolio type to item type and related master data.
2. Authorization: I have ACO_SUPER and also ACL access ADMIN and Write at Portfolio and Top bucket, which shows as Inherited. tried adding Create manually at lowest bucket.
3. Old Portfolio's (before upgrade): face same issue for new create however the old ones I can update and save works fine.
4. Basis: There is no Trace we could find relevant, No ST22 dump.
5. Trace: show CuaOwnLuwErrorReset which Im not sure nor is our Basis guy.
6. Market place: Tried searching service market place for CuaOwnLuwErrorReset, No use, tried with spaces too.
7. Basis: Tried verification of Database tables
8. Old Items > Financial Planning shows dump at CX_RPM_DB_UPDATE, developers are checking it out.
9. Developments: No BAdI is called during save.
Any pointers highly appreciated
Rgds,
Niranjan

Ravi,
Thanks for the pointers. But from configuration perspective its all good I believe.
Answers in bold
1) Is this issue persisted before upgrade also?
    NO. Earlier it was working fine.
2) Have you enabled automatic project creation in the item type?
     a) If yes, then can you check with an item creation where automatic project creation in not enabled.
          Already tried creation of Item only. Same error. With Check box or without. With template or without.
     b) If issue persists only with automatic project creation,then are you trying to create PPM project or PS project?
          PS is not in picture now, as its linked to release strategy of cProjects (PPM project)
     c) If PS project, can you check for the object links RFC connections?
          The cProjects (PPM project) and PS RFCs are fine. We are on same server so its all good. NONE is what is verified in SM59 already

Production Within a Shift - field in the PPDS PPM

Hi ,
We have two shifts per day.
Our requirment is; Planned Order should not exceed shifts.
We are using PDS. Shifts and Breaks are defined in APO
Please help.

Hi,
There is equivalent field in PDS as there in no analogous feild in ecc routing and you cannot maintain values directly in pds you can set required value in pds using exit/Badi.
APO BADI-:/SAPAPO/CURTO_CREATE, Method CIF_IMPORT
or ECC badi

Connecting Transport lane when creating model PPDS

H Gurus,
I wanted to share scenario .
I have 1 plant -
Production plant
I have 4 resorces--a1,a2,a3,a4
in a1 resources-i have 3 material
in a2 resources-i have 2 material
in a3 resource- i have semifinished products
in a4 resources -i have raw material
For A1, & A2 i need to have same semifinished products and same raw materials.
When i am trying to connect from a4 -a3 , a3-a2, a3-a1 but i am not able to do that as i ahve only 1 location for it.
My question is how i need to connect this network for PPDS planning run.
in a4 -raw material and at a3 it will come that and convert into semifinised product , semifinished product is consumed at a2 and a1 and out put will be finished products.
Please let me know is it mandatory to connect the process and prepare PPM and run my finite planning run?
Thanks & Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
As this is a scenario for Inhouse production consuming the BOM components, you need to create PPMs. Create a PPM with the header products for each resource i.e for 3 products at A1 and 2 products at A2, semifinished products at A3 etc. Run the low level code job prior to planning run and then in the heuristics run Planned orders would be generated on header products and dependent demand on component products on each resource. you can later on also use detailed scheduling for scheduling of orders within the day.
Let me know if it helps.
Regards
Gaurav

Can't create PPM plant for SNP usage from PP/DS

Hi All,
I can't create SNP plan from PP/DS in PPM via SAPAPO/SCC03 and further Goto, SNP PPM generation.
The error message is "order has no activities" Check your master data (PPM or iPPE). Message number /SAPAPO/OM082.
Need help.
Regards, Andrey

Hi,
1. Tcode /SAPAPO/OO_PPM_CONV.Enter Product an location and execute.
2. Create SNP name.
3.Select the line item, click on mass date change,enter today's date ,flag the PPM for conversion and save.
4.Select Goto----> Genrerate.Inthe initial screen enter the start date of the generation period,Bucket size, typical order size and Maximum no of modes and priority.
5.Alternatively you can do this step 4 in tcode /SAPAPO/OO_PPM_CONV_310 after flagging the PPM directly in this tcode.
6. Genrerate the SNP PPM.
Note : Execute /SAPAPO/SCC03 and enter Loc Product and Usage P and execute and enter . You will have the PPDS PPM screen.
If you want to have SNPPPM enter Usage as S.
Thanks,

Difference between PDS and PPM and which one should be used for SNP /ppds?

Hi Gurus,
Just wanted to know what are the difference between PDS and PPM ?
1. For what industrial products we use PDS and PPM in SNP and PPDS?
2. which one can be refered to clients?
Please let me know it will be really great if anyone let me know the answers
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajkumar,
I have given below the detailed comparative account of PDS Vs PPM. Please copy and put it in an excel sheet in different columns and then read which is easy to understand.
PDS
1. Production Data Structure (PDS) in APO 3.1 & Run Time Object (RTO) in 4.0 and above versions
2. Master Data Object
3. Useful for scenarios where the compoenent has got different validity periods
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data from iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) generated from a production version
6. PPDS PDS & SNP PDS can be used as master data for planning
7. Change Management, variant configuration & Phantom assemplies are supported in PDS
8. Sub-contracting in SNP is fully integrated with R/3 is supported in PDS
9. Direct transfer of SNP PDS from R/3 is possible
10.Rapid Planning Matrix can be generated
11. Not possible to maintain PDS directly in APO and can be used only in combination with R/3
12. The transfer of data changes is simpler
13. Not possible to create alternate SNP-PDS in std system for different mode combinations
14. PDS can be automatically generated from two sources ie R/3 and iPPE
PPM:-
1. Production Process Model
2. Master Data Object
3. Cannot be used for scenarios where the component has got different validity period
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data generated from the combination of routing (BoM & receipe) and production versions
6. PPDS PPM & SNP PPM's can be used as master data for planning
7. Not supported by PPM
8. Not supported by PPM
9. Not possible here. SNP PPMs will be generated via PPDS PPMs
10. Not possible
11. PPMs can be directly created in APO and can be modified without R/3 also.
12. Little Complex when compared to PDS
13. Alternate SNP-PPMs can be easily created
14. PPM can be generated automatically generated only from R/3
PDS is used in industries wherein there are multiple components or assemblies having diffeent production versions whose validity periods are different. PPM is being used typically in process industries, chemical industries. PPM is very simple in its usage and very flexible in operations in terms of modifications at APO level and can be referred to client depending on the business requirement

SNP PPM need to be created

Hi
I want to create a only SNP PPM when a Routing is CIFed from R3. currently, we are getting the PPDS PPM.
pl let me know, where will be the setting to create SNP PPM directly in APO.
Thanks
JK

Hi JK :
SNP PPM can not be generated from R/3 directly .
It can be manually created in APO through transaction SCC03 .
Also if you dont want to create it manually then you can do through this , when you CIF BOM & routing , A PPDS ppm gets created in APO .
This can be converted into SNP PPM , It is also possible to convert for the whole plant in one go or can select certain products for a plant.
SNP PPM is generated in APO based upon existing PPDS PPM . So, every time an R/3 recipe or BOM is changed, the PPDS plan will automatically be updated. However the equivalent SNP plan must be regenerated manually to account for the R/3 changes.
there are two steps :
selection of the required plans via /n//SAPAPO/OO_PPM_CONV
& conversion of those selection plans /n/SAPAPO/PPM_CONV_310.
