CTM planning generates excess stock
Hello experts ,
We are using CTM planning and we have given build up safety stock and the lot sizing procedure in product master is by period (W). Now CTM planning is generating excess stock for this material . Why is it ?? Can anyone help please
It is not clear in your Q whether the excess stock created while running CTM is lesser or greater in magnitude than the Lot Size. I would not be too surprised if the excess stock is lesser than Lot Size. Not that lot sizing restrictions only apply on supply side and hence there could be a situation where supplies are created in excess.
One other situation where this can happen is when there are unpegged fixed supply orders in the system. In that scenario the order may not be sensed as a supply order by CTM. You can verify that by looking at Pegging Overview related transaction in PPDS. Or do a supply simulation in CTM profile. It can clearly let you know the supply orders considered.
Excess stock can also be generated if there are Quantity Based Safety Stock requirements in the system.
To isolate the problem, I would also try out scenarios with standard lot size instead of periodic just to make sure that there is nothing funny happening with the latter setting.

MRP Exception Message 26: Excess stock in individual segment
We would like to modify the logic relating to MRP Exception Message 26: Excess stock in individual segment to allow for a material-specific tolerance threshold, within which no exception would be generated. An alternate approach might be to deactivate message 26 and create a new custom exception that accomplishes the same thing.
The reason is that we fabricate and procure a large number of materials in a Make-To-Order environment, with some planned scrap at multiple levels of sub-assembly. The result is that we often have small residual quantities of components & sub-assemblies in sales order stock when the project is complete. Some of these may be useful on future projects so we want them to remain in stock, but we donu2019t want them to continually generate exception messages that distract our planners from the exceptions that truly need attention.
I have tried setting up a storage location that is excluded from MRP, and this works only if the material is in General Stock, but not if it is in Sales Order Stock.
If anyone knows of a way to either set up an allowed tolerance, or exclude a sales order segment from MRP, please let me know.DB49,
I have previously suggested just what you have indicated (ie. to move the parts back to unrestricted geneeral use stock). My company's objection is that the materials were either produced or procured for that original sales order and that the costs for these materials are in that sales order as well. Using a 411E transfer posting will not only move the stock, but also the cost (as if we are buying it back from the sales order). Since there is no guarantee that we will be able to sell it again, our accounting department will not allow us to do this.
So the bottom line is:
We do want to retain visibility to these stocks.
We don't want the cost for these stocks back on our books
If the opportunity presents itself, we want to move them to any future sales order for the same material.
We don't want the hundreds of exception messages for "excess stock in individual segment"
However we do want to see this message for actively planning sales orders that may have too much stock
There may be no way to get this, but that is the goal. -
How to know the excess stock with in a sales order and line item
Hi,
i am running an MRP against a sales order and sales order line item. the materials are getting planned based on the requirement. but due to some reasons the production orders are confirmed with out consumption of the actual required quantity of the components. so the stock is kept ideal in the sales order though it is not required further.
do to some othere reasons also the excess stock of componenets exist. the PR or POs may also exist for the materials though they are not required further.
i am in need of a report for the excess stock or excess PR or Purchase order for a sales order.
please give me logic to find the excess things in that sales order and sales order line item. the Expensional message 26 is there in stock requirement list . but it does not give the excess quantity existing.
regards
madanhi rajesh,
thanks for your reply. please tell me the logic to see when only partial quantity of sale sorder are delivered and also when no delivery is made also.
but manufactured and placed in stock.
please tell me the tables to follow and logic of going ahead with them.

Planned Order for stock and planned order for customer requirement
Hello everybody
I want to make a different, in MD04, between the planned order for stock and the planned order created for a customer requirement
Thank for your helpHi,
True planned order are generated for both the cases but the planned order generated for sales order will have sales order number in the below column and for stock will show independent requirement. Mainly no sales order reference will be there for make to stock scenario.
Hope it will help.

Exclusion of Sales Orders from CTM Planning
Gurus,
Without customizing, is there a way to exclude selective sales orders, say by certain delivery priority number, from CTM planning? Is there any standard configuration setting that SAP APO offers for this?
I want to exclude the SOs with delivery priority no. X from being identified and planned by CTM.
Appreciate a quick response on this.
Thanks,
ChandraHi Chandra,
1) If the sales orders that you want exclude are falling under certain
fixed time period, then you can restrict selecting those orders
using transaction /SAPAPO/CTMORDSEL - Order Selection
and in the selection tab, you can filter those under radio
button "fixed time period" and select the ATP categories
2) In material master, if you provide very low priority and also if
you maintain time based priority in SNP 2 tab, till that period with
that low priority, the system will consider that item for lowest
priority during planning

OptimizeServer says GOOD BYE
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
KhadarHi Khadar,
1) The information you have provided is the CTM optimiser log.
Run the job in background and in sm37 and click on job log &
analyse the exact error happened. In case if you are not able
to do, please provide the error log.
2) Check the livecache is stable in its operations when the job
runs (check with basis team)
3) Run consistency check for master data before CTM run
4) Check for any struck queues and clear those and rerun
5) If you feel more inconsistencies in system, run livecache
consistency and rerun CTM run

Portal generate excessive cookies in HTTP header
We are using SUN jes 6.2 and found that it generates excessive number of cookies when we use the client property method on ProviderContext. It looks like, it creates a cookie for each property.
This is causing proxy servers to reject our site. Has anyone had this problem before and able to solve it?
Thanks,
DamithaAccording to the javadoc for 'ProviderContext'
A session property is shared between all clients using the session. In the case of authless, a session property is shared for all authless clients. In some cases it is desirable to set properties such that there is a 1-1 mapping between client and property. An example of this is a selected tab name. In the case of authless, it would not do to have the selected tab name shared between all authless clients because this would cause all authless clients to have the same selected tab. To set / get properties per accessing client, use the setClientProperty() and getClientProperty() methods.
SUN support center informed us that the portal software creates a cookie per portlet to store the properties related to the portlet. However, it looks like whenever we call the setClientProperty method, it creates a new cookie.
Has anyone else noticed this? -
Hi ,
For operational purpose ,we are maintaining excess stock process, below is the formula for the same,
Opening stock- (Backlog order +current month order (n)+N+1 order .
Can we get this type of report from SAP ?
Regards,
VijeshVijesh,
As the other experts have stated, I don't believe that there is any standard report that exactly meets your requirements.
However, many planners instead use MRP results to help them understand where (among other things) they will have future excess stock.
SAP's standard report MD06 can be used to select, view, and address specific MRP Exception Messages. One Exception message is "20 - Cancel process" (means cancel an existing supply order) and "15 - Postpone Process" (means move one of your existing supply orders farther into the future). These two messages typically are related to excess stock. If you review and address these exception messages, you may not need an 'excess stock report'.
Best Regards,

Consolidation of Planned orders after CTM planning run
Hi everyone,
We use CTM planning engine and create planned orders for the unfulfilled demand. Since Demand is coming from various locations multiple planned orders are created at the supply location. But the requirement is that all these planned orders need to be consolidated to 1 planned order.
How can we acheive this without disturbing the existing pegging relationships?
For example:
Current scenario:
3 planned orders at location X based on the demand from locations A, B and C. Then a pegging relationship exists (Purchase Requistions) between A and X; B and X; C and X.
Requirement:
Above 3 planned orders need to be consolidated to 1 Planned order and still the pegging relationship to supply the demand locations should exist.
Please let me know if anyone has similar business scenario and has working solution approach
ThanksHi,
You can increase the lot size to club your demand requirements. You can also try using period type lotsize to club daily, weekly, monthly requirements.

Excess Stock Soloution Required
Good day.
I currently have the issue of excess stock in inventory where we have materials over the maximum stock level. This is due to the cancellation on jobs or inheriting free stock.
Ideally i would like to set all the levels to PD until the maximum level is reached again. The fear is that i cannot track every one. When the max level is reached again, the v1 setting should be re entered into MM02.
have you guys ever cam across a similar situation with excess stock. your solutions would be extremely helpful.
PaulSpeedy,
MRP doesn't use up excess stock. Only execution will use up stock.
If your stock is Finished goods, the standard way to reduce excess stock is through a promotion (influence the customers to buy more).
For subassemblies or Raw materials (assuming that they can't be resold) the classic method is to look for alternate uses. If the material is similar to some other materials, you can sometimes create/change Bills of materials so as to include your excess materials in BOMs that are actively being built.
Good Luck & Best Regards,

CTM planning for process industry
Hi,
We are taking CTM planning run in a process industry scenario where we are having continuous processing. But when we do CTM planning CTM creates PP/DS planned order to meet the delivery date of orders and for some orders their are unscheduled gaps between operation due to non availability of next resource.
Is it possible to create orders in CTM without any unscheduled gaps between the operations as is the case in case of orders created using PP/DS?

Sanjog MishrikotkarHi kiran Ghule,
With the functions of the Quality Management (QM) module, you can implement it.
The QM application component supports tasks associated with quality planning, quality inspection and quality control. In addition, it controls the creation of quality certificates you can do this
Explore your self in this module if any problem then come back.

Hello,
I tried to execute CTM planning run, it prompts me with this error message.
"Check the settings in SAP APO Customizing for the optimization server."
I already assigned "CM01" as Optimization Server Id in CTM Profile, but it still prompts the error message.
Does anyone encountered this error ?
Thanks in advance.
D'GeePlease go through Note 886103 - System Landscape Copy for SAP SCM and make sure you did right settings .

Edited by: MadhuNambu on Apr 29, 2011 1:27 AMHi,
Check whether the supply category defined is included in the search strategy..
If this is not defined then the system cannot consume the surplus receipts created during CTM planning.
Thanks,
