Demand product allocation against sales target:

Dear All,
Here is an interesting sales scenario for you:
Company gives "high demand product" to their dealers based on their target vs achievement.
Condition:
1.A dealer achieves target of 20 cell phones of x-brand in a month, he gets 2 nos of high demand product Z-brand cell phone(not free of charge).
Eg: 1) ABC dealer has target for 20 nos in a month, and achieved 50% by 20th of that month. Then he is eligible for 1 Z-brand cell phone.
2) MMM dealer has target for 20 nos in a month, and achieved 100% by month end , he gets 2 nos of z-brand cell phones
How will we configure it?

Hi Fab,
We can connect many production allocatio group to same planning area, but better remove flag direct connection to planning area. During maintenance of PAL procedure and in control conversion conversion factor should be 1 only.
In place of removal of above flag we carryout two activity i.e copy data from planning area and copy data to planning area.
hope process will work fine.

Product Allocation against STO

Hi,
This is regarding allocation check against stock transport order
1. As per SAP literature, Receiving plant (WERKS_TO) is available as a characteristic for stock transport orders:
(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/27/31f938a1914358a9df1fcdc2b454ae/content.htm)
But in the product allocation field catelog, the above field is not present. So how to carry out the allocation check at this level?
2. What is the key figure to update incoming orders quantity. By default AEMENGE is available. Is the same key figure applicable for STO. If not, what is the key figure to update the incoming order quantity for STO. Where can it be added ?
Regards,
RS
Edited by: sap_apo31 on Jan 4, 2012 11:18 AM

Hi RS
1) Receiving Plant can be maintained as a customer with suitable Sales Area. Since customer is available as a characteristic in field catalogue, you can use the same. Alternately, you need to extend the structure (As Michael has advised). This is quite common requirement and your development colleagues will be able to help you.
2) Key figure will remain AMENGE irrespective of whether it is Sales Order or STO.
Thanks,

Partial allocation against sale order during allocation run

Hi Experts..
How to do allocation run for partial quantity against to the particular AFS sale order while doing allocation run process in J3AT.
Example :
I have sale order stock 10 qty. but I want to do allocation run for 5 qty. So that I can make partial delivery for this 5 qty alone. So please suggest me how to do partial allocation run.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can try TCode V.00
This transaction when executed will give you the list of all the sales documents blocked for delivery per sales organization. There are various other criteria which might be useful. This transaction will allow you to edit each sales document.
If this is not the one that you want, then perhaps you might have to develop one.

MTS material Stock Allocation against Sale Order

Hi,
I have a requirment, While creating an sale order for a MTS material the stock from Unrestricted should be allocated to that sale order stock.
Expecting a solution,
Thanks and regards,
Mahi

Hi Lakshmipathi,
U r right the scenario is the same as u mentioned. But my requirment is that while creating a sale order for an MTS material the allocated stock should me posted into that sale order stock. i.e. similar to the stock allocation happening while creating an order for MTO material.
Hope u can understand my requirment.

Issue with Product Allocation Scenario

I am Trying out Product Allocation in APO (SCM 5.0).
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Now trying to carry out the Product Allocation check by creating a Sales Order in ECC. In that case during the material availability check screen in APO, the product allocation does not show up.
I believe it is related to master data settings for the product in ECC. My questions are as follows:
1. In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO). There in MRP3 tab Strategy Group is maintained. Is this along with Availability Check field responsible for determining the check instruction (combination of check mode + business event) in APO for the Product Allocation check.
2. If so (which I guess it is) I can see the check instruction picked up in APO while creation of sales order in ECC is different from the check instruction I ran simulation with. How can I ensure the same check instruction is chosen (in which case I believe the availability check result will be same as the ATP Simulation carried out in APO).
3. In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master). In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
4. Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
I guess some of the questions is a bit hazy but I would appreciate if someone can outline the Product Allocation Scenario. I am trying out based on Building Block S59 Demand Planning for Product Allocation but of course it does not detail out enough.
Disclaimer: My knowledge of GATP is almost nil but am exploring.
Thanks,
Somnath

Hi Somnath,
It will be a pleasure to help you out.
Firstly I will list out all the steps which I can think of:
(1) R3-You have moved all the ATP customizing from R3 to APO via ATP integration model.
(2) APO- goto SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions
Here go to Check Mode- 041 and Business Event- A and maintain the following settings manually in development and migrate it all the way to Production
I am assuming here that you want to first do an allocation check and then availability check**
Product Allocation: Change from NO CHECK to First Check
Product Check: Change from First Check to Second Check
This check mode and business event is the most common one which is triggered while placing a sales order
See the following blog for DETERMINATION OF CHECK MODE
http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/
There might be other check modes( 030, 050) which might also require this change. However you can judge that while placing a sales order and when you go to the availability screen, You have the tab - SCOPE OF CHECK CONTROL where you can see the Check Mode + Business Event
Following guidelines can be used to modify Check Instrctions after Customizing Import from R/3
1. Business Event A* is Sales Order Entry (The main scope of GATP) so define check instructions for all check modes since it is not possible to identify the requirement class that may come over on an order. For Business Event A* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
2. Business Event B* is normally for deliveries but is also required for Rush Sales Orders. An R/3 configuration showed that 041 is the only requirement class that will come across for this business event. Hence defined only for 041 check mode. For Business Event B* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
3. Business Event 03 required for Inventory Transaction availability check such as MB1C. For such transactions, the APO Product Master Check Mode is used. Hence check instructions for all Check Modes are maintained. For Business Event 03 if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Availability check as first step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability checks.
(3) Maintain the Product Alllocation Procedure:
a- Create a Product Alloc Object -- Example: PAO-001
In this step, we define the product allocations objects - product allocations are saved per object for a characteristics combination in the product allocation group.
Product Allocation Procedures can be used to maintain different Product Allocation Objects for different time validity periods.
Generally Product Allocation Objects are used to model the different reasons for the need for allocation material shortage, capacity constraint, etc.
b- Product Alloc Group--PAO-1234
A product allocation group defines a group of characteristics against which allocation checking is done.
 Creating a Product Allocation Group creates a characteristics directory in the APO database and an area in Live Cache where the key figures are maintained.
 If Check Planning Area is set to No then allocation and incoming order quantitiy data can be seen in table /SAPAPO/QTTAB. If the Check Planning Area is set to Yes then no data is stored in this table and the allocation check is done directly against the data in the Planning area.
 Detials of allocationconsumption by sales orders are maintained in table /SAPAPO/QTVB in APO and in QTVB in R/3.
If Check Planning Area is set to Yes and if there are users are in the change mode in the Planning Book, Sales Order Entry can get locked out.
If Check Planning Area is initially set to yes and then deactivated later you will no longer see data in /SAPAPO/AC42.
Settings:
Check Planning Area Yes. The reason being that users are not expected to lock planning books as they would be defaulted into the display mode (through a development object). Also most allocation uploads will be through batch jobs. Setting it to Yes reduces one step of moving data between the planning area and the allocation group.
Check Date - Material Availability Date. Consumption of allocation quantity and checking of available allocation quantities is determined by the check date.
Time Bucket Profile Week
Characteristics Product Allocation Object (1), Product (2), Plant(3), Customer(4)
Consumption Period Bwd Consumption 1
Meaning that first the order will consume from current week allocation and then go 1 week backward to consume.
c- Product Allocation Procedure --- PAO-4567
Step Sequence:
Step -
Step Name- -
Prod Alloc Group -

Control
Valid from -
Valid to---- -
Object -
Active -
Factor
 12/31/2037 PAO-001 Check the Box 1
d- Maintain Connection to Planning Area (APO)
In this step, we maintain the assignment of the planning area to the product allocation group. We must make this assignment because characteristics of the product allocation group have different names from the info objects of the planning area.
All characteristics of a product allocation group must be assigned to an info object. But multiple info objects can be assigned to one info object. It is not always necessary to assign every info object to a characteristic. It is possible for aggregation and disaggregation (depending on the direction of transfer) to take place with info objects that are not assigned.
Product Alloc Group -

PAO-1234 xxxxx 000 W

KONOB - Prod Alloc Obj
MATNR --- Material
WERK -
Plant
XXXXX---- Customer
Key Figures
Order Qty - AMENGE
Alloc Qty - KCQTY
e- Check the Product Alloc Settings
This is only a check- Everything should be green and OK .
(4) You have planned the Characteristic Combination on which you want to do ALLOCATION.
Create a new POS- Which has your chracateristics as PRODUCT, PLANT,CUSTOMER, Product Alloc Object ( 9AKONOB)
Planning Area,- Key figures required are Alloc Qty, Order Qty( Sales Order Qty)
PLannig Book, Data View which has the following characteristics- Product, PLant
Assuming you are allocating at the following CVC level- Product, PLant,Customer
Step 1:
/n/sapapo/MC62-Create Time Series- Basicallly your CVCs -
Example: Product 1234, Plant INDIA, CUstomer WALKART
Step 2:
Move Characteristic Values Combination to Allocation Group (APO)
/SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K
INput :
Planning Area: xxxx
Prod Alloc Group: PAO-1234
(5) In the INtegration MOdel - Activate the ATP CHECK Integration model for the Plant and material
THis is the KEY which decides whether availability should be done in R3 or APO
Material Active in the integration model -- Means Availability( GLOBAL AVAILABILITY: Prod Alloc+Prod Availability) is done in APO
Material not active in the integration model --- Means Availability Check is done in R3
(6) APO MASTER DATA SETTINGS:
Material Master: On the ATP Tab, Assign Loc Dep Procedure ( Prod Alloc Procedure)
Location Master: Calendar Tab> Create a shipping time stream calendar
Additional Info: Please contact your R3-SD people as this involves a lot of understanding and I have not listed all the details here.
This config shown here is a very basic one which not even 25% of the companies might be using.
If you have any questions on this part- please see my business card and email me**
(7) SCHEDULING: This is a major task which determines the route and transit times for calculating the
Material Availability date
Goods Issue Date
Delivery Date
on the sales order line item- schedule line
I dont know whether you need info on this**There are many ways of doing this
a- Configurable Scheduling
b- COndition records
c- User Exit
You can find documentation in SPRO or else let me know*
For simplicity- Let me take the easiest to create and difficult to maintain master data- Condition Records
Step1 --Define Field Catalog for Condition Table (APO)
/SAPCND/AU01
Require Plant and Route defined here in the field catalog
Step 2- Define Condition Table for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU03
Create a new table- 901
901 - Pick Time based on Route with key as Route
902- Route Time based on route
Step 3- Maintain Access for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU07
Take the important ones- PICK and TRAN
I am assuming again as I dont know what kind of Scheduling is maintained on R3 Side. Mostly 80% companies have only two lead times- Pick and Route Transit time.**
PICK- Select pick and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-901
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select PICK and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as PICK--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
TRAN- Select TRAN and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-902
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select TRAN and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as TRAN--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
Now coming to maintaining the Condition records in APO EASY ACCESS
/SAPCND/AU11
Create SCheduling Step for PICK : Enter condition type- PICK
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -24:00 (Hrs)
Create SCheduling Step for TRAN: Enter condition type- TRAN
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -48:00 (Hrs)
Now Let me answer your questions:
(1) Question 1- In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO).
I did not undertsand what you mean here. As we can create a Material at the following locations in APO( Dist Center(DC), Manu Plant(PL), Cusomter, Vendor, etc)
For GATP all we need is the material at a PLant location
STrategy Group on MRP3 tab: This is purely used for determining the CHECK MODE value on APO Product Master.
When this is blank on R3, the check mode will be blank on APO.
However SAP recommends Putting in a strategy group value on R3 Material Master
or
a default Check MOde value for all those Products who have blank check mode- 041 is the best value * This piece SAP hasnt recommended but I found that there is No harm in anyway and it is MANDATORYfor inventory transactions like GOODS ISSUE otherwise you will get a QUEUE in SYSFAIL **
Even if this is blank this has no effect on the GLOBAL ATP as the Check mode for a SD transaction is determined as follows
98% of the SD transactions will generate a CHeck mode of 041 and Business Event- A ***
Through the item category and the MRP type in the MRP view
The item category is derived from the item category group in the Sales view of the material master record and from the order type of the sales document. Together with the MRP type in the MRP view of the material master record, the item category determines what requirements type is selected. The advantage of this method is that the selection of the requirements type depends on the business process (such as quotation, sales order, or repair).
(2) Question 2 - I guess now you must have understood why when you do a simulation in APO, it is taking the Check mode from APO product Master
and when you do a ATP Check from R3, the check mode(041) is different
You dont need to ensure that they are the same- It doesnt matter in anyway.
(3) Question 3- In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master).I
When you run ATP simulation- AC04, you generally run it for the plant as that is the supplying location and not the customer.
In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
PLease look above for this answer.
(4) Question 4 - Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
To my best knowledge, whatever I could remember I have listed out. However there are some more steps which might be needed.
Follow all the steps as I have mentioned and whenever you get struck somewhere, shoot me a message and I will help you.
ONe more pointer here to what you have mentioned
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Somnath, I believe you might have a wrong picture here. The concept of allocation is Controlling Supply against huge Demand which is in this case coming from SALES ORDER
When you place a sales order, the supplying location is your plant and that is where you would like to put in allocation quantities
Say for example for a material 12345 - You have stock of 100 Qty in Plant KING fo this week and it shows as follows in the planning book
Customers say are WALKART, GE-FUG, MACROGUN
The CVCs which we have to create are as follows
Similar to Demand PLanning**
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust WALKART-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust GE-FUG-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust MACROGUN-Prod Alloc Obj
And this is how it appears in the planing book when you go into DETAILS ALL
You basically enter the Allocation Quantities just as how you enter forecast quantities in DP Book*
 Wk1 | WK2 WK3 WK4 WK5
Alloc Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50 |
Cust GE-FUG 30 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
Incoming Order Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50|
Cust GE-FUG 25 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
50 : Say the Cust WALKART has ordered 250 for this week, however only the allocated quantity -50 will be confirmed for him and the remaining 200 qty will be confirme at a later week when he is given the allocated amount.
25 :Similarily say this customer GE-FUG has ordered 20 qty. So his remaining allocation is basically 5 which cannot be used by any other customer.
20 : Say this customer MACROGUN has ordered exactly the allocated amount of 20. So his remaining allocation will be 0.
This is the basic idea of how Allocation Concept is used in GATP.
Ofcourse you can add the other functionalities like
Rules Based ATP(LOcation Substitution, Product Substitution)
Multi ATP( BOM-COmponents)
Check Aginst Forecast
Etc Etc
Like any other module of SAP- this module has much to offer which unfortunately I cannot list here**
GOOD LUCK and let me know If you need additional help.

How is the product allocation work?

How is the product allocation works? (material master: Basic Data 1,) where is the place to maintain the parameters?
point will given

Product Allocation
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

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

VMI order check against Product Allocation

Hi
We are setting up VMI where we are to plan the supply to one of our customers.
During our tests we have dicovered that the TLB orders are not checking against Product Allocation.
An ATP check does takes place when creating the TLB order (we are not using Deployment!!) but check against Product Allocation does not take place!!!
If we do an online ATP check from R/3 after
Does anybody knows how to enable check against Product Allocation during TLB order creation ?

Unfortunately there is not a tool to make diagrams in here or do we have..
To depict ATP check against Product Allocations, we can have two big blocks representing R/3 and APO.
Then in each block we can have smaller blocks to represent
a sales order creation(in R3 block) and Product Allocations in Planning area (in SCM block).
You can depict ATP call by making an arrow from sales order block to product allocation block. Then to add further details you
can have a time series(bar graph) showing product allocations for time buckets( say months) getting offset by incoming orders in a separate diagram.
to represent BOP, a block for SD ( in R3 block) and a block for BOP (in APO) and a link between them to trigger BOP process. A line from BOP back to R3 block connecting a smaller blocks "process event" and then connecting to "update".
This update block should be linked to another smaller block in APO named as "update time series". then this update time series can lead to "delete temporary quantity assignments" block( in APO).
Hope this helps..

BAPI to check ATP Against Product Allocation

My client has a requirement to check the ATP Against allocation when he create Sales Order Thr SAP CRM. Can anyone suggest which BAPI suits this requirement.?
In brief - I required a Function Module that will return the quantity of material availability based on Product Allocation (from info structure) is needed by CRM to perform the check from CRM custom program. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Check these 2 Bapi's
1)CRM_ATP_PROCESS_PARID
2)CRM_AUC_PROD_ATP_CHECK
Check if this helps

Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

Dear All -
We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Regards
Mandar

Vladimir,
I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

Availability check against product allocation

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to figure out how depict in a diagram the process of availability check against product allocation.
The process includes the sales order creation in R/3, the availability check in APO (SCM 5.0) , returnig the delivery date.
We are also planning a backorder process
I think the diagram is very simple ... just 1 box for the sales order creation, one box for the availability check and 1 exit to the back order processing.
Any help will bee appreciated
