Depots to plants planning

Hi Experts,
In my scenario client wants to do reorder point planning at 3 depots on a daily basis whereby purchase requisitions for FGs will be generated if the stocks fall below a certain level, At the same time on a bi-monthly basis depending on forecast at depot level, MRP would be run at 2 manufacturing plants to generate planned orders for 2 months. Please tell whether strategy 40 and special procurement key 50 may be applied here to do bi-monthly planning at depots and plants as well as daily replenishment for depots from plants?

Cross Plant Planning- MRP activation indicator turned after the creation of Material code

Dear Experts,
Working on Cross plant planning, where 1001 Production plant will stock transfer material to 8 different plants.
Right now, only 10001 plant had MRP and planning file entry ticked in customizing OMDU.
The other 8 plants have Materials codes created and MRP views extended but no MRP activation is ticked.
Now, to have Cross plant planning MRP set, I have done necessary configurations, Scope of Planning, Special Procurement 40, and parallel processing is configured. All master datas are set properly. Tested few scenarios in IDES, working fine.
If my understanding is clear, than I thin I need to run MDAB, activation of planning file and MDRE, Planning file Consistency Check, because MRP will run in background?
Is this correct or something more needs to be done ?? Please suggest
Please also tell what is the use of MDRE t code.
Best regards
Shailesh

Hello Shailesh
MDAB (RMMDVM20) is at plant level, you need to create different variants as per your plants
Create a variant for the new plants and then schedule a job for these variants.
Check customizing transaction OMDU -> set up planning file
entry and consistency check of planning file entries.

Inter-plant planning in REM

Hi i need some suggestions for inter plant planning in REM before mapping in SAP.
Our Scenario is Repetitive manufacturing and we have 2 plants which have 3 assemblies in each plant in case of discrete/process scenario with using special procurement key we can do inter plant planning but in case of REM SAP HELP suggest its not possible but don't understand why it is so?
please refer this link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/70/442986c48d11d1b59d0000e82d81c3/frameset.htm.
So i want some suggestions from any one you who might have already experienced this scenario to map in SAP.
As i understand this can be achieved by MRP at 2 plants or with scope of planning apart from these is there any other way which can be simplified the task.
Cheers
KK

On which version are you working?
ECC6
Have you tried the Inter-plant planning in REM If yes then what the error are you getting?
No i haven't tried this scenario will try and update mean while i want some inputs from any one who might have already experienced this scenario.
It s possible a stock transfer of the production plant may also be executed to the plant of the sales order also.
Could you please elaborate more what do you mean by this statement?

Hi,
I would suggest you to have STO
1. Create STO which must be created in receiving plant (Manuf.plant) by ME21N
2. Create outbound delivey order) and PGI w.r.t. STO in Depot.(VL10B)
3. Post depot excise invoice using J1IJ.
4. Post the Goods Receipt in receiving plant. (select "No excise Entry")
5. Post excise invoice number using J1IEX.(Here in Depot to Plant scenario, system will not accept "refference Excise Invoice")
Select J1IEX and Option "without reffernce to Purchase order (ETT -EWPO). Bcz J1IEX and Option "Goods Receipt "( ETT-GRPO) Option is not working in Depot to Plant Scenarion..this is SAP Std.
6. Verify Invoice using MIRO.

STO from Depot to Plant

Hi

now the same stocks have to be returned from depot to plant, now whether stock transfer has to be done or returns process has to be done?
If stock transfer has to be done how to capture excise i.e after delivery J1IJ or after billing J1IIn has to be done?
How to update the excisce details.
Thanks

Re: Production if different plant & planning in different plant

Hi All,
we have two plants to our company code assigned, we have orders for manufacturing plant A, but because of the lack of capacity in plantA, Planning is done in plant A and manufacturing in plant B as per the planning plant A. Also the stock of plant B should reach Plant A as Fert. Can Any body guide the steps to be followed or send the supporting documents. Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Use special procurement key 80.
Assign this in MRP2 view of material master.
You can define the production plant in Customization
SPRO--Production planning -- MRP-- Define Sp. Procurement type
Now whenever you will execute MRP for material planned order will be created in both the plant do production in production plant
whe ever you do GR in production plant stock will be automatically transfered into planning plant.

Depot to plant and vice versa process.

Dear all,
Can anybody share your knowledge about depot to plant and plant to depot and sales process flow with excise entery.
Advance thanks for your great knowledge shareing.

Hi,
Sales from Depots
Purpose
You may sell finished goods directly from the place of manufacture, as described under Sales from Factories, or you may first ship them to a separate location for storage (a depot), from where you will sell them. The second procedure is described here.
Sales from depots are handled differently from sales from factories because of excise law: Excise duty is payable when you send the goods from the factory to the depot, but it is not levied again when you sell the goods.
Sometimes when you make a final sale of goods from a depot, price escalations could have happened with retrospective effect. In such scenarios you need to pay the extra excise duty at the factory using an A Certificate. You need to register the A certificate details in the RG 23D register and the excise recovered from the customer.
Prerequisites
You have customized:
Stock transport processing, in Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing Purchasing ® Purchase Order ® Set Up Stock Transport Order
The copying control for copying stock transport order NL to excise invoice JEX
Make this setting in Customizing for Logistics u2013 General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements ® India ® Business Transactions ® Outgoing Excise Invoices ® Assign Billing Types to Delivery Types.
The item category NLN (standard transport order) so that it is relevant for billing
You do this in Customizing for Sales and Distribution (SD), by choosing Sales ® Sales Documents ® Sales Document Item.
Process Flow
- You create the sales order, following the standard procedure.
The standard pricing procedures for depot sales are J1INDEP (condition-based excise determination) and JDEPOT (formula-based excise determination).
- You create the delivery, again, following the standard procedure.
- You assign excise invoices to the delivery or material document.
- You verify that you have selected the correct excise invoices and post them. Alternatively, if you have selected the wrong excise invoices, you can cancel the assignment.
- You create the invoice, following the standard procedure.

Cross Plant Planning for External procured Material in MRP with their stock

Dear Gurus,
I have one requirement my client want Cross plant planning in MRP. this plants are only site plants no Manufacturing. All materials in these plants are Externally Procure Materials(F). Now they want cross plant planning for Externally Procure Materials or cross plant planning for Externally Procure Materials with consider all plant stock details while planning.
can you tell me procedure for this,
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Devraj

Hi,
In R/3 you cannot consider all plants in planning, you have to use SAP APO to achieve your goal (if your goal is to optimize the procurement in your plants). When you execute MRP run in R/3 it will only consider the details of one single plant.
I mean if you have several plants used for external procurement, and you want to make an optimal decision considering all the stocks and open transactional data, requirements in those plants, it is not possible in R/3 as per my knowledge - multi site/plant planning won't give you such optimal solutiion.

Query-Price control, Depot as Plant, Rejection Store

Hi SAP Gurus
Pl clarify the below mentioned query:
1. Can price control be changed from moving avg price to std price or vice versa? What if transactions have been done, stock is available, material movement done.
2. What are the benefits of defining sales depot as plant? What if sales depot is defined as depot only. (We have cash sale from depot.)
3. What is the need of defining separate rejection store? Can we avoid it even if in our production process rejection is generated.
Regards'
Manoj Gupta

Hi,
For point 1.
You do nnot need to use MR21 to change the price control from V to S or from S to V. The system will allow this change even if there is stock or if there are open POs etc. The price will not be changed it will just change the control.
There are two scenarios where restrictions may apply. Firstly the material type may have been configured to only allow one (V OR S) and so you could not change one of these materials without changing the config of the material type. The other scenario is for "split valuated" materials, you cannot set the main accounting view to an S if the material is split valuated. Other than this the change of price control can be done at any time.
Points 2 and 3 are IS retail specific and so I cannot comment fully on these, but you need to try to map these correctly. Try to look at the functionality that will be used at each and determine which you would lose by choosing each option. For instance if it was not a retail system I prefer to use Plants instead of storage locations for different sites because this is the way that SAP designed the system. I DON'T just use storage locations simply because the master data is easier to maintain, that would lead to a loss of functionality.

Forecast from depot to plant

Hi Experts,
I want to do forecast at the depots and get the planned orders in manufacturing plant. But I want to run the MRP only at the manufacturing plant. Is it possible to aaddress such a scenario totally within R/3 (i.e. without downloading into excel, etc.) ?
Regards
Sm.

HI,
Create a info strcture with Depo and Materisl as Characteritics,
Regenerate the infostructure.
Create a Planning heirarchy.
Enter the Forecasting value or do the Forcasting in a Planning Table.
go to MC90.
give the concerned Key figure and PLant to be trafsredd.

Query regarding cross-plant planning

I have two manufacturing plants P1 and P2
Raw material RMA is procured for P1
Finished good FGA is produced in P1.
Finished good FGB is produced in P2 and uses RMA and FGA as BOM components. It is planned using strategy u201810u2019.
Following options exist for planning RMA & FMA
Using special procurement key 70
1.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant)
In plant P1 it has procurement type F.
1.b. In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
I maintain SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E.
In this case all dependent requirements for RMA & FMA (when BOM of FGB is exploded) are created in P1, not P2. Also all procurement proposals are created in P1. No stock of material must be maintained separately in P2, since MRP will not consider this stock.
How will person in plant P2 know how much stock of RMA & FMA is physically lying in his plant P2, since in SPK 70, only stock in P1 is considered.
Also, person in P2 must be able to withdraw RMA & FMA from P1 only after getting approval from P1. How can this be achieved?
Using special procurement key 40
2.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 40 (proc.from alter.plant)
In plant P1 it has procurement type F. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?
2.b.In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
I maintain SPK 40 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?.
3. Is it possible that instead of using SPK 70 or 40, system automatically creates reservations for material (MB21), for plant to plant transfer (mvmt 301)? I can then do a transfer posting against this reservation.
Awaiting your replies. Thanks in advance!

Inter Plant Planning

HI All,
I have got 3 Plants PL01, PL02, PL03 where material is undergoing some operation in pl01 and then it is passed to PL02 for another operation and then is passed to PL03 for final operation.
How can I do interplant planning and do capacity levelling

Material code:
Create a separate material code for Each transfer , SUb contracting dependets on the scenario
In plant - PL03
Consider your are producing material 1
Maintain procurement type E , and do the production
Plant- PL02
Consider your are producing Material1 --> Material 2
Maintain Procurement type F and maintain a SPK( create a new one in OPPQ) from PL02 for material 1
For material 2 maintain Procurement type E
SUB CONTRACTING
IN case operation subcontracting maintain in Routing
Or other wise
Consider Material 2--> material 3
Create a BOM for Material 3--> assign the material 2
maintain Procurement type F and SPK 30 for material 3
and the same for Other subcontracting material
Consider Material 3--> material 4
Create a BOM for Material 4--> assign the material 3
maintain Procurement type F and SPK 30 for material 4
IN PL01 Plant
Maintain Procurement type F and maintain a SPK (from PL02) for material 4
Run a MRP for material 4 in plant PL01 system will plan all the materialin other plant also
Or
Other wise maintain a scope of planning
in a sequence
PL01
PL02
Pl03
System will plan accordingly

Girish

Hi,
1. Create STO which must be created in receiving plant (Manuf.plant) by ME21N
2. Create outbound delivey order) and PGI w.r.t. STO in Depot.(VL10B)
3. Post depot excise invoice using J1IJ.
4. Post the Goods Receipt in receiving plant.
5. Post excise invoice number using J1IEX.
6. Verify Invoice using MIRO.
Returns from Customer to Depot
1) Create a Depot return sales order in VA01 with reference to original billing document
2) Create Delivery
3) Create Transfer Posting using MB1B with Movement type 453 and dont forget to make a note of the material document number
4) Go to J1IG, click "Capture". There enter material document number and the respective series group. Then click "details". Now select the line and click "More documents". Maintain the excise invoice number created at supplying plant.
Returns from Depot to supplying plant
1) Go to J1IG and click on red icon from the toolbar. Enter material document number created during MIGO, year,series group of Depot and hit Enter button. Now click on "Item" so that you will be taken to next screen where you can see line item for RG23D cancellation. Save so that system prompts you asking whether you want to cancel the entry. Click YES.
2) Verify this by going to tables J_1IEXCHDR & J_1RG23D. Check GRPO entry in both the tables where the status must have changed to "D"
3) The original excise invoice can be canceled via J1IH and check whether DLFC entry has the status "R" and at this time entry CEIV is also created confirming excise invoice and CENVAT reversal.
