Daily and Monthly Production Allocations

Does anyone out there have experience with using PRA for daily production allocations?
I know there are lots of companies using PRA for their monthly production allocations but I was hoping to get some feedback as to why companies have avoided doing their daily allocations in PRA. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I am working on a project that is considering moving their daily and monthly allocation from TOW (Landmark Graphics) to SAP.

Hi Polaris,
Instead of hard coding the HRS as 8 in PCR please try to read the hours from Info type 0007. Sample PCR is as below.
where EG-1 is intern
Z105-Time type
For permanent employee complete calculation will be based on the IT0008.
Please explain with an example if you still have any queries.
Hope this helps:)

Daily/weekly/monthly production reports

Hi Experts,
IMy client needs daily/weekly/monthly production reports with graphical representation. I want to know in acase there are any standard reports which will be a work around solution for the above said reports.
Thanks

Hi nandi6346,
Yes, COOIS : Order informaton system, it self gives graphical representation for production reports.
Go to COOIS - execute as per required date, to get grafical representation select the coloumns you required, e.g. Production order, target qty, Confirmed Qty, Delivered Qty, Scrap Qty, etc and the click on "Display Grafic" tab, it will show you grafical report.

GL Tables Partitioning with daily and monthly periods

This implementation(bank) has a requirement for 'daily periods' (01-Jan-2010 ...31-Dec-2010 ) and 'monthly periods' (Jan-2010 ...Dec-2010)
They are also using multiple sets of books, multi-org.
Please advise how to best partition GL tables to best serve those requirements.
Secondly,
Has anybody tried using an on-update trigger on GL_PERIOD_STATUSES to automatically create partition?
if CLOSING_STATUS changes to 'F' or 'O'
and period_name not in dba_tab_partitions
create partition
We plan to use GL_PERIOD_STATUSES because GL_PERIODS.period_name
still changes until the period_name becomes used.
Is there a much better way of doing this?

Thanks for the reply Sandeep.
Banks in our location are regulated by central bank and subject to daily report requirements, therefore the daily periods.
gl_balances and gl_je_lines are the two tables we are looking to partition.
estimated records for daily is around 500K to 1M.

Daily and monthly performance view

Hi,
I have problem with the built in performance view of SCVMM 2012 R2 U4.
The environment consist of 5 hyper-v hosts in a cluster configuration.
Problem:
Four of the five hosts does not show network and storage performance counters.
One host show the storage and network performance counters.
This is only in SCVMM GUI. From the powershell I can see the performance counters and history of all the hosts.
The aggregated value of e.g. used memory is not correct in the GUI.
The performance counters of the hosts are working correctly. SCVMM have access to the servers as well and can read all the counters since it's working from the command line. This has to do something with this SQL database. I need to reset the collected performance
data or rebuild the performance tables and stored procedures some how.
This is driving me crazy. Any help is appreciated!

APO product allocation and customer hierarchy groups

Hi,
we have customer hierarchy groups. In the future we want to use product allocation in APO.
The values of the customer hierarchy groups will be changed often.
How can we map the customer hierarchy group to a product allocation group?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Not sure it is the only way but you can try the following,
1. maintain the field catalogue and the product allocation group in APO
SPRO
Advanced Planning and Optimization
> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP)
> Product Allocation
2. Maintain the planning area accordingly
(+ the connection to the PA - still in SPRO...)
Now start the real thing:
3. pass the customer hierachy to the sales order in R/3
You can use exit: MV45AFZZ u2013 form USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK
4. Pass the information to APO
A new exit: FV45VFZY form USEREXIT_CATALOG_VALU - Adding to the APO field Catalogue
Now you mentioned frequent hierarchy changes... that I don't know how to handle. When you change the hierarchy how do you want the consumption to happen? I guess the new sales order should consume the new hierarchy, but what about the old assignment?
If somebody know ho the system handle that, that would be great!
Thanks and Regards

Product allocation error while creating a sales order

Hi Gurus,
My client is using the availability check against product allocation functionality in sales order.while I am creating the sales order and entering the material system is throwing the error message product allocation XXX is invalid,after pressing the enter button system has thrown another error "incorrect index structure for table XMVERF_POS/000010" and unable to save the order.
I have checked the material master and the product allocation is assigned in basic data 1 view,I have also checked the IMG settings it has maintained and assigned to infostructure.Please let me know is there any config settings are missing related to product allocation.
Regards,
hari challa.

Please check if storage location is populated for the material. Also may be this material is a non-stock material and not relevant for storage location check.. If you have any non-stock items in your order and if you are populating the storage location in the order automatically, then this happens. Please check your code and bypass the check for non stock items.
Hope this helps

Product allocation determination procedure error

We use product allocation determination procedure in material master
I made SIS(S603)
when an order item is created and changed and deleted, Quantity of the incoming order is updated in Sales Information System(S603). key figure of S603 is sales organization/material code/sales group
But sometimes error is occured
when i check up quantity of the incoming order in s603, quantity is not correct
(i usually use t-code MC94 or mcsi)
in my opinionm when an order item or order is deleted, quantity of the incoming order is not updated is SIS, Quantity of the incoming order in s603 is more than confirmed quantity of order in the delivery date of the schedule line.
What is problem?
Edited by: SD User SD User on Aug 23, 2010 10:44 AM

Hi,
Please check consumption period configurations whether s603 info structure are defined or not from the path of ( SD > basic functions > Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements > Availability Check > Availability Check Against Product Allocation
> Define Consumption Periods). and
in product allocation control configuration screen, flow according to requirement category flow for schedule line, check whether product allocation is active or not.
and other needed configuration should be checked again to solve this problem.
Finally, you can check your product allocation determination procedure from SD > basic functions > Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements > Availability Check > Availability Check Against Product Allocation > Check Settings In Product Allocation. by this way, you can figure basic problem out.
I hope these will be very useful for you. Please share with us effects

Can I use the fields Product allocation and Basic material for bifurcation of material

Dear Users,
We have a requirement for bifurcation of material so we need two field in material master for fulfilling the requirement. First requirement is material category like insurance or revenue etc., second requirement is department wise like electrical, maintenance etc, so i have choosen the fields 'Product allocation' in basic data 1 screen in material master for fulfilling department requirement and then in basic data 2 i have choosen 'Basic Material' field for fulfilling material category requirement. My doubt is whether this change will effect the reports and i need to know the effects of such changes.
Thanks,
Manoj

As you are trying to use the standard fields, so you can read the F1 help for these fields.
Also check in which table and program, the fields are used.
Read the F1 help and find the table and program by using this document How to find Table name for a Field which is shown structure name on press F1.
After reading this, If these fields are suitable for your requirement, then you can continue.

HT201250 If time machine backups hourly. Why does it need to backup daily, weekly and monthly

If time machine backups hourly. Then why does it need to backup daily, seekly, and monthly?

It doesn't.
What it does is discard intermediate backups at the end of 24 hrs and keep just three spaced backups from the previous day.
At the end of the next day, that day's will be reduced to 3, and the previous 3 trimmed to one; the last backup of that day.
Daily backups are kept for a month, then trimmed to the last backup of the week.
The weekly backups are kept until the disc runs out of space and TM starts deleting the oldest ones.

Can I get a list of users that visits a certain page on a Sharepoint site on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

Hi, We need a list of users that visits a certain page on a SharePoint site on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
Now the question is, is that possible out of the box or through the custom web development.
Thanks

GATP Product allocation status report and backorder processing

Dear Experts,
We are using product allocation as the first and only step in GATP check.
The scenario is like this:
Sales order total quantity = 200
Planned allocation quantity=150
Thus
Confirmed sales order quantity=150
Questions:
1.Now how can see the confirmed/unconfirmed situation for all sales orders.
Is there any standard report.
I understand that this report need to show the planned allocation quantity,total sales order quantity and the confirmed sales order quantity may be bucket wise.Also this report can show the details of all sales orders in the bucket.
The GATP planning book only shows confirmed sales orders in the "sales order" keyfigure until you have introduced another order series key figure for sales order(not related to GATP) which has sales order/scheduling agreement category group assigned to it.
2.Can I do backorder processing of sales orders assuming that after the above report is run,I have changed the planned allocation quantity from 150 to 200 and I need that the sales order can be confirmed now by this program rather than by going into ECC and triggering the GATP check again.
Note that the stock availability situation may remain the same.
Request you to kindly suggest if this is possible in backorder processing.If yes,then what are the settings and the transactions to execute this.
Thanks,
Chandan

Thanks so much Michael for a prompt reply.
Couple of points.
1./sapapo/ac42-This report is helpful but this has 2 issues.
It has to be run at individual CVC level.Thus it is not a comprehensive report.
It does not provide sales order original quantity.It just provides the planned allocation quantity,confirmed sales order quantity and the remaining quantity.This is normally already available in interactive planning of GATP planning area.
What we need is a report which must say what is the original sales order quantity and how much has been confirmed and how much is the bucket planned allocation quantity.
2.Running ATP in product view or interactive backorder processing view may not help as they seem to be working with ATP group and not with check mode.Note that product allocation gets triggered when check mode comes into play.
Do you know if we can make it work with check mode.
3.The batch backorder processing is working when I am using the "update changes" option.I am still evaluating the results as I don't understand many settings here.It will be nice if you can elaborate on some of the settings used in this transaction please.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Chandan

The daily, weekly, and monthly maintanence scripts

Hello All,
I have a power mac G4 Digital Audio at 733mhz, my question is why am I not seeing the automatic maintanence scripts coming on at 3am in the morning? I am usually up on my computer at those times, but still have yet to see the system go into automatic maintanence scripts at that time of the morning? Is there something wrong with my configuration file for the scripts, or is there something I need to do in order for it to work?
Nadav

Hiya,
Just a quick check: have you looked in /var/log/daily.out to see if the daily jobs are outputting anything to the logs, or maybe that's what you're talking about? Nothing logged?
Um, if there's nothing in the log, then you may have a /etc/daily.local file overriding the default script in /etc/periodic/daily in someway. A quick check of /etc/periodic/daily/500.daily may prove helpful. It should be doing all it's normal log rotations and jazz... If the file looks normal (not corrupted or just blank say) maybe try putting a little command to write something to /var/log/daily.out to tell yourself it's working like (you'll need to sudo this):
echo "this is daily.out working like a champ"
or whatever. Same thing for the weekly and monthly scripts...
If you've done all this already and haven't looked yet, check out the manual pages for periodic, periodic.conf, cron, crontab, and so forth...maybe there's some goofy setting hosing things somewhere.
Hope that helps!

Global ATP with product allocations and SD returns

Dear all,
We have been setting up an implementation scenario with an ECC 6.0 and SCM 5.0 system which verifies SD orders versus SCM product allocations.
With SD orders and SD contracts everything works fine. But we have a problem with using SD returns (same material and plant used like the SD orders): We would expect the system also to check the returns for product allocation quantities but it seems that the SCM availability check does not enter the product allocation procedure at all (we have some user-exits in use but these are only accessed when we go via SD orders, no access at all for SD returns).
Is there any special setting which we have to activate in order to have the SD returns properly processed with product allocations? (Customizing "Set the Transfer of Returns to SAP APO" within ECC is activated) The system somewhere gets stuck during the check within the SCM system.
Thanks for providing assistance regarding this matter.
Kind regards,
Klemens

Hi folks, did you resolve your issue here? I assume what you are wanting is for the Returns order to free up allocations qtys that had previously been consumed by the originating sales order, that is, incoming orders qty should be reduced by the amount of the returns order. I know that when a sales order line item is rejected the incoming order qty is reduced, but I'm not sure it is possible for a returns order to do this.
ATP Man, are you saying that as category BZ is not supported by Allocations that it is therefore not possible for the Incoming Orders Qty to be reduced by a Returns Order? I have a business reequirement to do exactly that.
If it is not possible to do this through the automatically via the ATP check, the only way I can think to address this, would be to try and transfer the Returns qty to SCM after the order is saved and then to have a macro that reads the returns qty and reduces the Incoming Orders qty by the qty of the return.
Paul.
