Cross Plant Planning for External procured Material in MRP with their stock

Dear Gurus,
I have one requirement my client want Cross plant planning in MRP. this plants are only site plants no Manufacturing. All materials in these plants are Externally Procure Materials(F). Now they want cross plant planning for Externally Procure Materials or cross plant planning for Externally Procure Materials with consider all plant stock details while planning.
can you tell me procedure for this,
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Devraj

Hi,
In R/3 you cannot consider all plants in planning, you have to use SAP APO to achieve your goal (if your goal is to optimize the procurement in your plants). When you execute MRP run in R/3 it will only consider the details of one single plant.
I mean if you have several plants used for external procurement, and you want to make an optimal decision considering all the stocks and open transactional data, requirements in those plants, it is not possible in R/3 as per my knowledge - multi site/plant planning won't give you such optimal solutiion.

Capacity Planning for External Procurement Material

Hi, I have the following requirements.
MRP Scheduling is getting executed material level (material no, plant) with scheduling type 2 which means lead time scheduling using MD02 Transaction Code. This is works fine for the Inhouse Product. In order to achieve lead time the functional team has maintained the necessary routing/workcenter configs.
The business needs the same functionality "Capacity requirements calculation" for the external procurement material. Business is willing to maintain routing/workcenter config.
Currently standard program (MD02) is not considering the Capacity planning for the external Procurement material.
Could you please suggest is it can be controlled through programming.
Kindly suggest the function modules for Capacity Planning - materialwise, plantwise.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri
I think the requirement is not mentioned clearly. Capacity is required only if the material is assembled/produced in house.
Anyway try this. Set the Procurement type to X in the MRP views in material master. You might have to define your custom material type so that it does not force the procurement type to F. Try the feature called "Quota arrangement". The idea is to define the material in such a way that it can be procured externally or produced in house. With quota arrangement you can say what % has to be bought and what % to be produced in house. If it is produced in house then you can have capacity requirements.

Schdelung for externally procured material.

Dear Gurus,
We have defined planned delivery time for externally procured material. After MRP run system is generating delivery dates for that.
We want if there is capacity constraint at supplier's end then how to handle this issue in MRP run.
Example -
PR generated after MRP run for XXX material code for 5000 kg and required date is 15/06/2009.
Supplier's manufacturing capaicty of this material is 500/day i.e. from today he will be produced only 3500kg.
In case shop floor plan will not executed due to shortage of supplies.
How to map this scenario in SAP so that MRP controller will come know that the said material will not be available on required date and he will have plan some thing else during that period.
Regards,
Abhay

Have you tried with Lot SIze Data in MRP 1 view
you can give 500 in Maximum Lot Size
and lot size as per your business need for example 7 days no split quota something like that
After MRP run, your planner can see the next material expected availablity and plan the production
otherwise, if company permits for surplus inventory , then keep some buffer as Safety stock and plan accordingly

MRP planning for external procurement

Dear all,
How do i make my system, upon MRP, trigger a purchasing requisition for external procurement of a external 3rd-party vendor?
How to setup this in the system and master data?
thanks,
tuffy

Dear Tuffy,
For all the externally procured items,maintain the procurement type as F in MRP2 view.
Maintain Purchase Info record for the material and vendor combination in ME11 and then assign the vendor for the material,plant
combination in the source list in ME01.
In this case the Purchase Info Record should be created for standard Info Record.
In the case of sub-contracting assign the procurement type as F and special procurement value as 30 in the MRP 2 view of the
material master and create Subc-ntracting Purchase Info Record in ME11 and assign the vendor in source list in ME01and source
list usage as 2 in both the cases.
The above sub-contracting is assembly sub-contracting process.
Check and revert

Planning for externally procured products

Hi!
Most of our products are planning strategy 52 (Planning without final assembly). We are considering changing some of our products to be externally procured, however the business wants the planning logic to stay the same - do not order unless there is a sales order.
Any ideas ???
THANKS !!
Dianne

Strategy 20 in my manufactuing plant - no luck because planning strategy 20 is standard MTO.
"The planned orders for the finished products are correctly "non-convetable" if the original warehouse does not have a sales order. " What about tried some strategy like 72? I'm not sure can 72 work for FG but i'm very 72 can work for SFG because i used before. Else you need to check how's the strategy 72 & customize it one by yourself.
"However, they also do not want to order the raw material UNTIL there is a Production Order, not a Planned Order."
This is very easy , you not create the planned order for the purchasing department , until they firm the production order only the purchasing department buy the raw material , but you do need consider the lead time for raw material delivery.
Unless there's huge safty stock to cover.
Hope can close your issue.
Thank you.

Cross Plant Planning- MRP activation indicator turned after the creation of Material code

Dear Experts,
Working on Cross plant planning, where 1001 Production plant will stock transfer material to 8 different plants.
Right now, only 10001 plant had MRP and planning file entry ticked in customizing OMDU.
The other 8 plants have Materials codes created and MRP views extended but no MRP activation is ticked.
Now, to have Cross plant planning MRP set, I have done necessary configurations, Scope of Planning, Special Procurement 40, and parallel processing is configured. All master datas are set properly. Tested few scenarios in IDES, working fine.
If my understanding is clear, than I thin I need to run MDAB, activation of planning file and MDRE, Planning file Consistency Check, because MRP will run in background?
Is this correct or something more needs to be done ?? Please suggest
Please also tell what is the use of MDRE t code.
Best regards
Shailesh

Hello Shailesh
MDAB (RMMDVM20) is at plant level, you need to create different variants as per your plants
Create a variant for the new plants and then schedule a job for these variants.
Check customizing transaction OMDU -> set up planning file
entry and consistency check of planning file entries.

MRP - Create Planned Orders only for Externally Procured Materials

Dear All,
We have a scenario that our client gives us the daily requirement schedule for the current month and a monthly forecast for future months so that we can plan our externally procured materials based on the forecast.
Now I only want the MRP run to create Planned Orders for HALB and FERT based on my current months daily schedule and planned orders for ROH (Externally Procured) based on the next months forecast (monthly).
I dont want the system to create planned orders for HALB and FERT from the forecast. The requirement for the ROH are however derived from the Finished Good BOM and the forecast is also given for the FERT material. I know its a long shot but is there a possibility in the system to do such a thing or a work around?

Your business case is not clear; MRP will create planned orders for inhouse produced materials, and either planned orders or purchase requisitions for external procurement.
You can choose to convert or release external procurement for a long time ahead (eventhough taht if you have proper lead times defined you can release by lead time), but convert inhouse planned orders to production orders only for next period (week, month). Actually this is common practice.
So I fail to understand your problem.

For Externally Procured Materials (ex - ROH) - SG's are maintained or not?

Hello
Do I need to maintain SG's ( like SG10, 40, 70) for ROH as these are externally procured?
As I see since ROH are externally procured, no need to maintain the SG (10, 40, 70,etc) in MRP 3 view of the ROH* material master as SG's (10, 40, 70)* are meant for maintianing PIRS & PIRs means it is inhouse production
Iam not limiting myself to SG's (10,40, 70) for ROH, instead any SG need not be maintained for ROH (externally procured)
If I want to see that ROH materials get consumed by the FERT then maintain SG 40/70 for the FERT/HALB (inhouse production) that should consume the ROH (externally procured)
Questions:
Q.For externally procured materials do I need to maintain the SG?
Q. If no need to maintain SG's for externally procured materials then what fields do I need to maintain to see that externally procured material which are used in the finished product gets consumed by sales orders?
Please clarify
Thank You

Pradeep
Thank you for your reply & time
If the component is semifinished & is externally procured, then following settings needs to be maintained
Procurement Type : F
Special Procurement Key : 30 (subcontracting)
But Subcontracting(30) is used when we want semifinshed product to be manufactured outside the company from a raw material issued by the company
& control key we maintain is PP02
In above scenario, then we go for subcontracting or else we need not maintain the subcontracting
Please clarify
In your answer (" u have to set Individual/coll = 1 or blank at MRR of Down level material.")
what does MRR stand for

Plant Determination for Third Party Material as Child Item in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have an issue with the Plant Determination for Third Party Material as Child Item in a Sales Order.
Even when a Delivering Plant is maintained for the child item which is a Third Party Material, the plant of the Parent Item is only populated as the Default plant in the Sales Order
Can someone explain the reason behiind this determination.
P.S.- For all non -Third PartyChild Items (with non-Third Party Item Catefory & Material Type), the Plant is population correctly as per Delivering plant in Material Master.
TIA.
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi,
Thanks everyone for the feedback.I agree with Samir Danish.It is a standard functionality of SAP which does not allow free goods for BOM material.
However, can someone suggest work around to deal with this issue.I mean if any one has been doing any work around for this issue then please let me know.It s becoming critical for me.

Error in BP for External Procurement

Hi together,
I've set up the BP for External Procurement 60.2 as described in the manual. From all pages only the iViews "Overview-Purchasing" and the iView Vendor Confirmations on the Overview works without error. The other iViews wouldn't displayed (Page cannot displayed).
I'm using EP 6.0 SP13 and ECC 5.0. The BSP's are activated in SICF.
If I test the iView i got in the default trace the error "java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "10985373858"". I haven't any idea, from which point this number will come.
Have anybody experince with this package?
Regards Thomas

Hi Olaf,
please see Java-iViews-Errors in BP for CRM and CRMContextException (here especially Michael Healey's reply).
Hope it helps,

Quota for External Procurement

Hi,
Can any One please tell me how to create quota arrangement for external procurement relationships using BAPI.
Thanks In advance.
Thank you..

You can always use BAPI BAPI_QTASRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2
Go to SE37 and test out the BAPI. Ensure there are T Lanes and mode for creating the inbound QA for external Proc.

Purchase Requisition are not getting generated for External Procured Materi

Hello PP Guru,
The is a issue which the client is facing.
The requirement is as follows
There is material which is externally procured.
They do the MRP run by using MDBT.
Now the problem is Planned orders are getiing generated instead of Purchase requisition.
It should always generate PR instead of planned Order.
When the check in ME57 the PR is not reflecting, but when the check in MD16 the planned orders are getting reflected.
Every time they have to convert the Planned order to Purchase Requisition in MD16.
So can you please let me know as to why is this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh

In the variant which you use in MDBT, modify the value for Create purchase req. to 1. Now if you execute MRP with the new / modified variant system will always trigger PR irrespective of the opening period.
But if you want PR within opening period & outside of it should be planned orders, then maintain 2.

Query regarding cross-plant planning

I have two manufacturing plants P1 and P2
Raw material RMA is procured for P1
Finished good FGA is produced in P1.
Finished good FGB is produced in P2 and uses RMA and FGA as BOM components. It is planned using strategy u201810u2019.
Following options exist for planning RMA & FMA
Using special procurement key 70
1.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant)
In plant P1 it has procurement type F.
1.b. In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
I maintain SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E.
In this case all dependent requirements for RMA & FMA (when BOM of FGB is exploded) are created in P1, not P2. Also all procurement proposals are created in P1. No stock of material must be maintained separately in P2, since MRP will not consider this stock.
How will person in plant P2 know how much stock of RMA & FMA is physically lying in his plant P2, since in SPK 70, only stock in P1 is considered.
Also, person in P2 must be able to withdraw RMA & FMA from P1 only after getting approval from P1. How can this be achieved?
Using special procurement key 40
2.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 40 (proc.from alter.plant)
In plant P1 it has procurement type F. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?
2.b.In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
I maintain SPK 40 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?.
3. Is it possible that instead of using SPK 70 or 40, system automatically creates reservations for material (MB21), for plant to plant transfer (mvmt 301)? I can then do a transfer posting against this reservation.
Awaiting your replies. Thanks in advance!
