Demand Management: single Supplying Plant to multiple Demand Plant

Dear All,
I have following scenario to mapp:
There is one supplying plant (Plant A) and 3 demand plants (Plant B,C,D). Out of 3 demand plant, two plants (Plant C and D) are assigned to different company code then supplying plant while one demand plant (Plant B) is assigned to same company code as of supplying plant (Plant A).
Material M1 produced at plant will be consumed at plant A to produce material M2 as well as will be supplied to plant B.
Material M2 produced at plant A will be supplied to all three demand plant B, C and D.
As plant A and plant are assigned to same company code and are in same campus, materials will be transferred using Transfer Posting (material movement 301).
Material from plant A will be supplied to transfer to Plant C and plant D using Stock Transfer (movement type 351) or using standard sales cycle.
Plant A will use total SAP but plant B,C and D don't want to use any planning functionalities of SAP (no MRP run) as they are using i2 product for planning.
As except plant A no other plant wants to use SAP for planning run, it was suggested to enter demand at Plant A directly for all plants using Demand Management functionalities using different planning versions. But now the issues are:
A) As demand from each plant (plant C and D) will be entered at Demand Level using different planning version for each demand plant, how to reduce PIR of corresponding demand version for delivery against sales order of corresponding plant.
B) As materials will be transferred from plant A to plant B using transfer posting and not stock transfer, how to reduce PIR. As PIR is not reduced but stock reduces then system will create new planned order for PIR which already supplied to plant B.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Mario,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you explain in bit detail what is option 2 and how can I do same in system....
I tried using Special Procurement Key 40 in demand plant and maintained PIR in demand plant with MD61 which results into Stock Transfer Order created in demand plant. Now the problem is when I issued material from supply plant to demand plant against stock transfer order, system also reduced the PIR for external sources I maintained in supplying plant. Hence there was two reduction in Supply Plant, one for Stock Transfer Order reservation and second for PIR maintained for external demands (other than demand plants).
How can I stop reduction of PIR maintained for external sources while delivering against stock transfer order?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.........

Demand Management- Distribution of demand to supplying Plants

Hi
We have Plant 001 where demand is being loaded and sales orders are being booked for a single finished good.
This finished good is to be supplied by two Plants say 002 and 003 (Plants are within same company code) with a ratio say 30% and 70%.
Since there are 2 Plants so we cant use sp proc key for distribution of demand to supplying Plants.
Please suggest how to map it?
thank you
V

Hello vineet,
You are right , if your spliting the requirement more than one plant means you cannot use the SPK.
Inthat case you can use quota arrangement MEQ1.Steps as below
1.Create quota for each plant ( 002 ,003) for demand material at plant 001. There you can assign the share for each plant.
2. Assign the quota = 1 at MRP view of Demand material at Plant 001.
Now create the demand and run the MRP.

Does STO create demand in supplying plant with Strategy 40 ?

Hello friends,
In our system, STOs do show up as a procurement elements at the receiving plant, but they do not create a demand at the supplying plant. Supplying plant is using Strategy 40. So my question is - Are STOs supposed to create a demand in supplying plant with Strategy 40 ?
Thanks,
- Chetan

STOs should create requirements in the supplying plant, no matter the planning strategy.
There are though some possible definitions that will alter that, the business case being that you have created PIRs in the supplying plant, and you want these STOs to be included in the scope of your sales plan. In this case, especially with PS 40, STO will not create additional requirements (on top of the PIRs), but rather consume the PIR like a customer order.

Mario

Send Separate Remittance Advice - Can I send multiple files to single supplier based on custom groups

I want to send multiple emails to single supplier based on the Legal Entity of the invoice paid.
eg. If a supplier has two invoices in a payment, both are paid by different legal entities of invoices payable .. then I want to send to different emails to the same supplier
I am able to create 2 pages in the RTF using <?for-each-group:OutboundPayment;DocumentPayable/DocumentPayerLegalEntityName?>
But I am unable to send 2 emails
please help..

When I know i'll be transforming or adding additional filters, I prefer to go directly to creating smart objects rather than grouping them first, since the relevant layers are automatically "grouped" by being pulled into the smart object. My thought is that the default name for a smart object (or a group, for that matter) should be the lowest layer on the selected stack that has a non-default name, since in most cases that's the one you'd want to use for the new smart object. I don't know exactly how Photoshop recognizes layer names, but since it knows what number to assign to new layers or individual types of adjustment layers, it should also be able to recognize when a layer name is not a default name.

Donot want Planned Order to be created for STO in supplying Plant

Hi Gurus,
We have material A which in being produced in Plant 1000. This Material A is being used as a Component for a product in plant 2000. By Using Stock Transport order we get the material from supplying plant 1000.
when we run MRP for the plant 2000, schedule line is generated for the plant 2000. at the same time planned order is generated for the Material A in plant 1000.
My requirement is i dont want planned order to be created in supplying plant i.e plant 1000.
Afzal

Hi,
Let me Clarify my requirement again.
Material A is being Produced in plant 1000(supply). The same Material A is being used as Input material in plant 2000(Demand) for product B.
Master Maintained.
Material Master
I maintained Procurement type as F and Special Procurement as 40 in Plant 2000 for Material A.
I maintained Procurement type as E for Material A in Plant 1000.
Schedule Agreement
Schedule Agreement created in Plant 2000 referring plant 1000 as supplying plant and agreement type as LU.
Source List
Source List Created based on the schedule agreement and maintained MRP indicator as 2.
MRP Run
During MRP run for Product B in plant 2000, It creates schedule line for the Material A in plant 2000. At the same time it creates planned Order for material A in the supplying plant 1000.
My Requirement is we don't want the planned order in supplying plant 1000. The reason behind is that we want to run MRP in plant 1000 seperately at a different frequency.
Running MRP in plant 2000 should limit the requirements raising in plant 2000 only and the MRP run for 1000 should limit to plant 1000 only.

Single Transfer Order for Multiple Handling Units

I have been researchig the ability to create a single transfer order for multiple handling units. My assumptions are if it can be done that:
1) A transfer order can have a single source, so if the source document for the handling unit (delivery) is different, that means different transfer order
2) A TO can have multiple materials (line items) with different destination bins and quantities per bin
I looked at the configuration for TO Split, but it's not clear that this will handle my requirement.
I also saw this http://aq33.com/material-management/Articles-005798.html and it also says that my requirement can't be meant. I'm just checking before I tell my customer this cannot be done.

Yes you are right, if Source document is different, you need to go with different TO.
But you can choose the Handling unit split, while creating a TO itself. i.e., You can quantify the goods for each handling unit.

Single ERS Invoice for multiple POs with different GS and same IP

Dear All,
I have a Requirement as per the below scenario:
We need to have single invoice created using ERS (MRRL) functionality in the below scenario:
Two POs created with different Partner function GS (goods supplier) and same IP (Invoice party partner function).
Ex:
GS IP PO GR ERS
vendor1 10001 4500001 500001 Yes ( GR-IV-Yes, GR done- Yes, same payment terms - 001)
vendor2 10001 4500002 500002 Yes ( GR-IV-Yes, GR done- Yes, same payment terms - 001)
When I run ERS for last 1 week (GR) and select the option (Doc selection – per IP or other criteria like GRs posted in last one week) , system should create 1 invoice document. Standard SAP posts 2 documents for each GS.
I have tried using 2 user exits for MRRL, but none of them work for this functionality.
Thanks,

Hi,
Go for MIRO without MRRL.
Instead ERS, you can post single Invoice(MIRO) for multiple POs for one vendor.
OR
Check with Technical consultant and go for development to have single ERS output for multiple ERS invoice documents for single vendor.

Can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not set up as a virtual disk?

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any definitive information after having done many, many searches. Short question is - can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not in a storage
pool or some other RAID/JBOD structure?
Background:
I'm running Server 2012 Essentials with all Windows Updates installed. I have been backing up approx 2.8TB of data (Bare Metal Recovery, C:, S: (shared folders), and system reserved) for the past year+ onto a storage pool made up of two-2TB external
USB drives. Backup is slow (takes approx 1.5 days to complete), but generally works. Not surprisingly I was constantly getting capacity low messages so I decided to increase my backup storage pool by adding a 3TB drive and another spare 750GB drive
for a total of 7.75TB. Instead of having four separate external USB enclosures, I bot a 4-bay enclosure - Startech.com model #S3540BU33E to simplify this (or so I thought!).
The first problem I had was adding the two new drives to the existing storage pool. I think that is because the Startech uses a JMicron USB controller that reports identical uniqueid's for all drives so only one shows up in the GUI interface for creating storage
pools. After doing research on this, I set up a new storage pool and virtual disk using all four drives via Powershell and thought I was good. However, when the backup ran, it failed after filling the first drive, saying there was no remaining capacity. In
reality there were three remaining empty drives and there storage pool reported almost 5TB of avail capacity. I assumed this was due to the identical uniqueid issue so I decided to try a different tactic.
Instead of using a storage pool that combines all four disks into one virtual disk, I just added each of them to Windows Server Backup as individual drives thinking it would manage them collectively. I.e., when a drive filled up during a particular backup,
it would just start using the next drive and so on. Apparently this was a foolish assumption because the backup failed again as soon as the first disk filled up.
So now I don't know if this is still an issue with the identical uniqueid's or if Server Backup actually can't spread a single backup across multiple individual drives that aren't in a pool or other virtual disk implementation. Hence, my original question.
My guess is that it does *not* spread them across individual disks, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
Thanks

Mandy,
Thank you for following up on my question.
Unfortunately the article you referenced doesn't address what I am trying to accomplish.
The article focuses on saving the same backup job to multiple disks and rotating the disks between on and offsite for enhanced protection. However, it still requires that an individual backup job fits on a single disk.
What I am trying to determine is if a single backup job can span across more than one physical disk (during the backup process) without those physical disks being in some type of virtual disk implementation (e.g., storage pool, RAID, etc.).
Thanks,
Gerry

Can we use single DB Adapter for multiple tables

Hi,
I have 3 tables. ONE is the Master table and other 2 tables having Primary and foreign key relationships with the Master Table.
Data is enter in the Tables 2 & 3 (based on Master Table Primary key)
I have to use a DB Adapter in BPEL Process which will be in Transaction (what type of Transaction is Best in such a Scenario).
- How do i implement it in BPEL.
- Can i use a Single DB Adapter for Multiple Tables ? (*Views* should not be created for tables 1, 2 & 3),
as we want to avoid using multiple DB Adapters, as in future Tables may increase or decrease...
- while in Transaction if Table 2 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back on error and also if Table 3 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back table 2 and Table 3.
- how access to concurrent users is maintained / managed in such a scenarios.
But everything should be done using Single DB Adapter without creating a separate view.
Is this Possible in BPEL..
If not, How do we design, Implementation such a BPEL Process in Transaction with a best in Performance (both BPEL Process & DB Resources)
thanks in advance
thanks & regards,
anvv sharma

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have few quires.
If we use PL/SQL, how do we implement transaction and Exception Handling appropriately based on the Error / Exception in BPEL.
If the Table 2 or Table 3 gives out Error / Exception, i have to handle it separately and intimate accordingly.
Suppose, if Table 2 got Error / Exception - Error Handling would be 'Roll back due to error in Table2'
Thanks & regads,

Single Business Area versus multiple profit center issue

Dear Experts,
My client is basically an infrastructure company. We have received a roll out
project under a department which inturn is billed to another department
under the same company code. Now I am planning to create a single business
area and multiple profit centers under that BA. This is because the business
is same but responsible areas of profit are two different departments.
Now I am not sure on the set up process and how do knock off etc are achieved
to get the financial reports balanced.
Cost of dept 1 is revenue of dept 2. For this I create a BA and also
2 profit centers. I do assignment in OKB9. What are other settings required.
Which profit center would be assigned in the material master?
My whole idea is to use a single BA with multiple profit centers, if one to one
relationship is the best way of approach then I shall follow that. But kindly give
inputs if I use single BA with multiple PC's how effective usage can I make of the
whole system. client is using MM, SD, PM, PP, FI, CO, PS modules.
Regards
Komal

Hi,
Recently we have got a business requirement for the concept of Single Plant which is assigned to multiple profit centers. I would request any of you to help me with any points which has the pros and cons of this set up.
First think why many profit center required for one plant explain it ?
Now you know from where system will take profit center in accounting docuement ?
as per me system take from Material master costing view
you have project base company or client or WBS at your end ?
In one material we can assign single profit center
In on cost center we can assign single profit center
so can you explain your requirement exactly

Assignment of single Sales group to multiple Sales offices not possible

Hi all,
We need to assign single sales group to multiple sales offices in CRM. When we try to assign a Sales group to more than one Sales office the first assignment between Sales group and Sales office is removed. Only the new assignment is available.
Instead of having two assignments I still only get one.
First I transfered the ECC organization as Standard backend integration. When I realize I needed multiple backend assignment I ran the Conversion to multiple assignments. However, I am not able to realize multiple assignments.
Is it not possible to realize multiple assignment if you first transfered the ECC organization as standard (single) assignment?
Please let me know how to overcome this problem.

Anders

Hello Anders,
Starting CRM 4.0 multiple hierarchy with this enhanced org data model
works the following way:
- 1 R/3 org data mapped to ONLY 1 CRM org unit.
- multiple hierarchy (1 sales office assigned to several sales org,
1 sales group assigned to several sales office) is managed in the detail
of the org unit with tab Function and with sub tab sales office
and sales group.
For example if you have following R/3 org structure:
Sales org SOr1
_ Sales office Sof1
_ Sales Group Sg1
_ Sales office Sof2
_ Sales Group Sg1
Sales org SOr2
_ Sales office Sof1
In PPOMA_CRM you have to do the following:
For the R3 mapping :
Sor1 mapped to org unit 50000001
Sor2 mapped to org unit 50000002
Sof1 mapped to org unit 50000003
Sof2 mapped to org unit 50000004
Sg1 mapped tp org unit 50000005
And for the multiple assignment
- For sales org 50000001 and 50000002 you just have to maintain in tab
function, sub tab Sales org the Distribution channel division values
- For sales office 50000003 in sub tab Sales office the assignment to
sales org Sor1 and Sor2
- For sales office 50000004 in sub tab Sales office the assignment to
sales org Sor1
- For sales group 50000005 in sub tab sales group the assignment to
sales office Sof1 and Sof2.
If you have different division distribution channel on sales office sale
group compared to the sales org you can maintain manually the values.
Or if is it always the same values you can use * value for distribution
channel division (in that case please read carefully notes
691015 and 735020 if needed)
In addition regarding report CRMC_R3_ORG_GENERATE I would like to
clarify that this report can only be used for initial download, as
written in the customzing documentation of this report (spro-CRM -
master data - org management - data transfer - Copy SAP R/3 sales
structure ) it can only be executed once and so following org
modifications have to be done manually in PPOMA_CRM.
So for this report the correct way to use it is to create all the R/3
org data in 1 shot.
If only 1 R/3 org data is already mapped to a CRM org unit in ppoma_Crm
you will have red light and so it will be impossible to create all
dependent org data.
Hoping i have been able to clarify how it works.
Regards, Gerhard

Single content repository for multiple archiving objects?

We have three archiving objects that the business has basically set the same retention period for all of them (April 1: archive previous year (current-1), delete archived data from the year before (current-2)). Rather than have three separate repositories, would it be a good practice to place these three (and any other that meet the criteria) into the same repository making the management of these simpler (deleting from IXOS)?
Thank you,

Hi,
COntent repository can be single or multiple. It depends on the clients requirements.
How ever you can recommend to your client based on the following best practices :\
(1) COntent repositories can be created and allocated based on the archive object.This will help the client to maintain the archive files and also use them at a later stage for retrieval/audit or any other purpose.
(2) Content repositories can also be created and allocated based on the retention time .
(3) Single content rep for multiple objects is technically possible but this is not a good approach.If this is done, then utmost care needs to be taken during the Archive file naming convention ( while archiving the data for a particular object) . Such a naming convention would reduce the hassels of getting the archived files mixing up. this will also help you to better manage the archive files of different objects in a single content rep.
DIfferent clients may use any of the approact based on their records management strategy.
Hope this information helps.

No delivery type defined for supplying plant 6110 and document type ZSTD

If ZSTD is a copy of UB type PO, then you need to provide the plant number as the supplier. The delivery type can be configured in the following path
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Set up Stock Transport Order -> Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Copy and existing record and maintain the combination of your PO type (ZSTD), supplying plant (6110) and delivery type (NL). Leave the others the same.
