Delivering against Safety Stock

Hi,
When creating delivery documents for a sales order, we are unable to ship from safety stock. Is there a way to move products from a restricted stock segment (safety stock) to unrestricted stock in order to create the delivery document?
Thanks,
Govindappa.

Hi,
You should be able to ship against safety stock. Check your ATP settings or have your consultant click on the check box.
Reward points if found helpfull...

Delivery Against safety stock

Hi All experts,
In my REM buisness scenarion, I want to deliver the quantity from safety stock for sales order. I did setting for MRP group :- Share saety stock 100% and assigned this MRP group to finish product. But delivery takes place but picking quantity is not coming as per the sales order quantity. Thats why delivery is not taking place for sales order quantity.
How to solve this issue? is there any setting in MM or SD side?
Thanks in advance,
Milind

Auto-release Planned Orders is not creating WIP job after zero on-hand (i.e. Level Below safety stock)

Hi
The time release fence in defined at item level as 1 day also safety stock level is defined in inventory safety stock form.
Once MRP launch it should create the discrete job against item as zero onhand for that item but MRP workbench is showing planned order for the item instead of creating item.

Refill safety stock based on a certain leadtime

Hello,
is there a way to refill / replenish your safety stock based on a certain leadtime ?
as now MRP requests to get in components today or in a week , while they have a leadtime of several weeks.
for example :
i have put a fixed safety stock of 300 pcs on a component.
This component has a leadtime of 5 weeks
i received an order for 50 pcs to be delivered in 1 week.
So we ship this from our safety stock.
Now MRP is creating demand to get 50 new pieces of this component to be delivered in 1 week ( to fill up again the safety to 300 pcs )
But i would like that MRP asks to order this component on the leadtime of 5 weeks
As it will not be possible to get this component in on 1 week.
best regards

Thanks Avinash for your reply,
i also noticed that safety stock gets the highest priority demand and that's probably why i couldn't find a solution using safety stock.
Is there an other way how i should handle this?
Is there a way where a replenishment in oracle is done based on leadtime?
as i mentioned before, i want to get my stock automaticly replenished based on a component/product leadtime when i get under a certain stock level.
I'm currently thinking to change the planning to min-max planning or reorderpoint planning and as soon as my stock comes under the minimum level, oracle will propose to refill the stock. But also here i don't know if oracle will use the leadtime to create new demand.
i still need to test this.

Safety stock, forecasting doubts

Can anyone guide me on my doubts,
1) Safety stock : While describing safety stock in oracle, we are mentioning date and quantity. Take a example - item = xyz, Date = 01 Jan 2012, Qty = 10. is it means that 01 Jan 2011 onward, stock level of item xyz should be atleast 10. If it is less that 10 after 10 Jan, then suggest planned order from ASCP.. ?
2.1) I can see that we can manually mention safety stock, system will calculate safety stock. In case of manual, xyz item attribute should be 'Not MRP" Planned. I can mention item, date and qty for in safety stock form.
2.2) In case of system to calculate Safety stock, I have mentioned attribute value as " MRP planned", mentioned safety stock days as well. Here I have created a forecast and ran "Reload safety stocks" with method as "User defined %" with forecast created for SS calculation. Now I can see corresponding newly created SS in system.
Now I have ran data collection with calculate safety stock = Yes, and after than launched plan as well. But I am not able to see both type of safety stock in ASCP workbench. I will say, I am not able to see any safety stock demand in workbench in any one of organization. Like to inform you that while doing collection, I have selected all organizations which are enabled and also same was selected while launching plan.. so whats wrong and so not able to see any safety stock demand in system.
3) Forecasting: I can put forecasting at component instead of products level ( ie finished good). Now suppose, I have kept forecasting at component level, means I have mentioned component item, qty and due date in forecast form. Now ASCP will consider this as demand and drive material, may suggest planned order. Now same time, I have booked a SO, having a products, which requires that forecasted component to do assembly. As there is demand against forecast and demand for SO, will drive material and this will be duplication. So netting of forecast is must, which we can do through forecast consumption. Now in my scenario, I have mentioned forecast for child in forecast and SO is booked against finished item. Now my question is - is there any provision for component level consumption based on finished good SO.. ?
Let me know if anyone needs more clarity on above case,
Thanks and Regards,
Dipak

Thanks Partha your help. Following solution is working on MRP, but it seems that not working on ASCP. I am pasting process here, Here V is long LT item.
1) Define a planning bill forecast, consider FC00. This contains aggregated demand of V against a particular date.
2) We will explode forecast from FC00 to FC01, where you can see forecast against component of ‘planning bill item’ along with Qty and date. Qty will be derived from planning percentage mentioned in planning bill.
3) In order to convert these forecast demand in purchase order, we have to use a plan.. say ‘Small Plan’. Purpose of this plan is to consider ‘Forecast FC01’ only as demand ( ie do not consider any SO, On-hand etc for calculation ), and create a supply by release planned order. Here needs to run collection and also needs to mention demand schedule as ‘FC01’ in plan parameter.
4) Now all planned order as per forecast will be released and converted either requisition / PO. This may be firm / non firm.
5) Now define another Master plan, ( in order case, this plan will be global plan) which consider all supply and all demand sources. But ensure that we will not mention FC00 / FC01 forecast in this plan demand schedule. This plan will consider PO / requisition supply created via ‘Small Plan’, and will peg to actual SO. This will not peg to FC 01 as we have not attached this forecast to master plan demand schedule.
6) Now if SO dependent demand of V is less than PO qty, then master plan will suggest to raise PO vice versa it will suggest to cancel / re-schedule in –out. We can filter such suggestion by exception / action / supplier name etc. So we will NOT do cancellation / reschedule out, but we will do re-schedule in if possible. This will ensure that we will have enough supply of V irrespective of SO demand.
From above, we can use planning bill as input for long LT items planning and output will purchase order in advance of SO, also consumption ( indirectly) of forecast can happen. If we will mention ‘include past due forecast = 0’ in planning parameter, then automatically past forecast will be excluded from planning.In addition, we can use master plan ‘supply-demand’ workbecnch output for monitering SO demand trend with forecast entry done by planner.
Now am checking on ASCP and believe that it will work in ASCP as well.
Thanks for support ,

Whether it is possible to make auto goods issue below safety stock level

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am implementing MRP for generating stock transfer Planned orders from a Main Mother Plant to different Plants. We have defined a Safety stock level for materials at main Plant level.
There is a auto program available for generating auto goods issue against Purchase orders.
System picks up Qty as long as unrestricted stock exists for the material during auto goods issue.
System dont pick up any Qty below safety stock level (manual goods issue works below safety stock level).
We are defining safety stock to meet sudden requirements and have time for new procurement.
But it should allow us to do auto goods issue below safety stock level.
Whether this is possible and what need to be done ?
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Hi Velmurugan,
I don't think auto GR is a problem from safety stock. Auto Gr can be done by two ways.
1. Control key and assigning the control key in operation(Preferably in last operation)
2. In production scheduling profile you can do it. You have to assign the production scheduling profile in material master work scheduling view.

Stock reservation against Sales order and deivery against reserved stock

Hi SAP Gurus,
e We are trying to provide a solution for thscenario where user wants to reserve stock immediatey after SO creation...and deliver same reserved stock.
i am recommanding Reservation where reservation will be created with 231 immediately after SO creation but the rea problem is that how to create SO delivery against that reservation/Reserved stock so that document flow remains intact for the SO.
Thank you very much in advance,
Regards,
Dharmesh.

Hi Lakshmipathi,
I had the same question and search landed to this thread but I ask again with the different perspective
The reservation concept is really an MM functionality but you really dont reserve stock against any order or delivery (other than using special stock movement types like 412E) but unless you create a delivery immediately (and include deliveries as requirements in case of ATP check) you have no real way of establishing the hard reservation. If you do a non-order reservation i.e. you reserve something in anticipation then reservation needs to be used as a receipt in ATP check for both sales order and delivery.
Alternatively what you can do at most is to conserve the pegging relationship (fixed pegging) that has been established once the order is confirmed (with or without ATP check) but this can get really tricky when you have batch determination to be done is delivery in which case you find that there aren't enough batch stocks conforming to customer specifc SLED to pick. So both ATP check and pegging looses its purpose of hard reservation. So that leaves us with having to determine batches too at sales order creation and let pegging not change.
Is this is a good idea in general.. 1) in Make to stock segment, 2) In make to order segment..
Does the concept of resevation stocks at sales order creation does more harm than good ? in general.. Implication in planning. inventory build up .MRP. Another issue is how long should you reserve stocks against order or against specific customer or country and such.

Mrp requirement qty including safety stock

I have tested and got results as follows with VB/EX:
RO Point = 10 ea
Safety stock = 5 ea
Stock = 5 ea
But the mrp element generated for 5 ea only.
I need to get requirment qty considering the safety stock also.
HOW TO INCLUDE SAFETY STOCK IN REQUIREMENT QTY?
warm regards
marias

Hi,
the safety stock is relevant when you are carrying out goods issues.
the system will stop you from placing orders against the safety stock (because you don't want to sell this you want to keep it for emergencies) and yet it will allow you to goods issue to a delivery from safety stock (because that is why it is there, to ensure that you have spare items in case of shortages).
You control what can and can't issue safety stock by using different configurations for the availability checks for each function..
So even though the reorder point MRP seems to ignore safety stock it still warns you when you fall below this (with an exception message) and it is still used for goods issues and transfers etc.

Report for Reorder point, safety stock, current stock and fixed lot size

Hi,
Purchasing Dept. is looking for a report which can give list of materials falling below the reorder point, so that they can go ahead and create procurement proposals for those materials.
They also want to see the Reorder Point, Safety Stock, current stock and fixed lot size in the same report.
Let me know if there ia any standard report availbale which displays the same or any approach to get the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shankar Goud.

Hi,
There is no standard report because this is meant to be managed by the MRP run.
The MRP lists show all materials that have a problem (such as stock below reorderpoint) but MRP generates requirements for these anyway and so all you need to do is to look for the MRP generated requirements (requisitions?) and you have your list?
Are you using MRP?
If so then please use the standard functions in MRP to get this.
If not, then WHY NOT?

Report on current stock and safety stock

Hi,
I want to have the report on current stock and safety stock.
In MC.9 it gives wrong safety stock. When I go to cross check the safety stock in material master & in MC.9 I see differences.
Thanks,
Kiran

You can user tcode MC.9 or MC.5 to know valuated stock available at given plant. Stock lying in Returns (MB52) will not be a part of this report as it non-valuated stock.
The stock in the accounting view of the material master considers stock at plant level including stock in Transit (Intra & Inter plant stock trasnfers) & special stock like stock issued to vendor , consigment stock etc which is valuated at plant level.
whereas and stock in the plant stock view of the material master does not consider such special stocks hence there will always difference in both veiws.
For Physical stock as on particular date you can consider MB5B report with radio button "Storage location/Batch Stock" wherein you will get Quantity issued & Qunatity received in those SLOC along with Opening stock & Closing stock for the specified period.
use tcode
MBLB to know stock at vendor.
MB54 - Consignment Stock.

Hi Mani ,
Are you taking cylinder as returable packing item or not?

Safety stock not covered by schedule lines in planning run

Hi !
In our organization we are trying to implement scheduling agreements and automatic creation of delivery schedule lines through MRP. We have MRP type PD and it considers the reservations created by PM orders and Production orders as requirement elements. When I do the planning run, it creates schedule lines for the PM order reservations and purchase requisition for safety stock. I need it to create schedule lines for all scenarios. Kindly help and suggest a solution.
