Difference between MRP Type

Hi Experts:
Anybody can explain me about Types P1, P2, P3, P4?
Thanks.
Diego

Please check this..
[http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/PPMRP/PPMRP.pdf]
And
MRp Type P1 or M1:
Ans: THe order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is firmed automatically as soon as its date lies at least one day before the finish date of the planning time fence. The date of new order proposals that are actually created in the planning time fence are rescheduled out to the end of the planning time fence. Therefore, these new order proposals are not firmed
MRP type P2 or M2:
Ans: An order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is automatically firmed as soon as its date lies at least one day before the end of the planning time fence. The system does not create any new order proposals within the planning time fence. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.
MRP type P3 or M3:
Ans: Order proposals that lie within the planning time fence are not firmed automatically. The order proposals required to cover the requirements are moved to the end of the planning time fence
MRP type P4 or M4:
Within the planning time fence, the system creates no order proposals automatically. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.
M4 is to classify the MS parts and P4 is for normal MRP items. BOm will be exploded in both cases to lower levels if procurement proposals created within or outside the time fence.

Difference between MRP Type PD and VB

Hi All,
I have a scenario, in which i have some doubts which i have mentioned below.
1. MRP Type 'PD' with maintaining Safety stock for the materials which have longer lead time. Will the safety stock which exists will cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays.
2. MRP Type 'VB' with maintaining Safety stock, reorder point, Maximum stock level for the materials which have longer lead time. Here the safety stock which exists will cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays.
3. MRP Type 'ND' with maintaining Safety stock.
Of all these 3 MRP Types, what will be the outcome after doing the MRP Run? Should I go for separate MRP run for VB type materials?
Please give the solution.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
PD: this requirement type considers teh requirements in terms of Sales orders,PIRs stock transfer requireements etc for the material and then does the net requirement calculation and creates procurement proposals accordingly. it also considers safety stock while doint the net requiremetn calculation.
VB: generally used for items with a fairly consistent consumption pattern. here the requirement depends on the safety stock and the current stock. if the current stock goes below the reorder point, then only a requirement is generated. besides the safety stock it does not consider any othe requirement.
ND; these items are not planned. so no effect of MRP run
normally for the VB type materials, a background job is scheduled that does the MRP run at predefined schedules.
even for items with PD, the MRP job can be scheduled at predefined intervals according to the MRP controllers or some other parameters like production schedulers, MRP group etc.
please let me know if u need more details

Difference between MRP and MPS..

Hi ALL,
I am aware that MPS planning is done for the materials which are high-valued....Main aim is to reduce costs and to increase planning stability...
Also these type of Materials can be planned using MRP...
Then why do we go for MPS Planning only...?
Thanks..
Regards,
Ameya K.

Hi Ameya,
MPS
1.In the MPS run, the materials marked MRP Type as MPS (ie. M0,M1) only will be included . The planned orders are created at the MPS Material level only.
2.The BOM is exploded for next one level down only.Further level will not be exploded,that means Dependent requirements are created for the BOM components one level down, further level will not processed.
This allows MRP controller can ensure that the MPS items are correctly planned before any MRP run takes place. This allows the planner to check and change the planning result, before any MRP run takes place for other materials.
For example,consider this business scenario, suppose one wants to do planning for finished Goods once pre week, but it is necessary to do planning for their components on daily basis.
so for this exmple, you can define Finished materials with MRP type as MPS and all the components with MRP type as MRP.
MPS run is carried out before the MRP run. So that the Planner can ensure planning result before the MRP run.
MRP.
MRP Run will plan all BOM level of Materials.
i hope i have tried to clear your doubt some what.

Difference between firming types

Hello Experts,
Since I am newbie, my question may be too obvious.
What is the difference between firming type 0 and 4, and between 1 and 3 ?
As I see that in the difference between 1 and 3 is:
In case of 1 only the order proposals which date lies at least one day before the end date of the planning time fence are created, but with date after PTF. That means that order proposals on the last day of PTF are ignored? What is the logic?
Thanks in anticipation,
Artashes

Hi,
Firming type0: No firming to receipts, only applicable to MPS parts to diffrenciate between normal MRP iteams PD and MPS itesm. M0. No firming.
Firming type1:: An order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is firmed automatically as soon as its date lies at least one day before the finish date of the planning time fence. The date of new order proposals that are actually created in the planning time fence are rescheduled out to the end of the planning time fence. Therefore, these new order proposals are not firmed
Firming2: An order proposal that lies within the planning time fence is automatically firmed as soon as its date lies at least one day before the end of the planning time fence. The system does not create any new order proposals within the planning time fence. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.
Firming type3: Order proposals that lie within the planning time fence are not firmed automatically. The order proposals required to cover the requirements are moved to the end of the planning time fence
Firming typ4: Within the planning time fence, the system creates no order proposals automatically. That is, the shortage situation is not adjusted within the planning time fence.

What is the difference between Condition Type PB00 and PBXX

Hallow all,
Can anybody please explain, What is the Difference between Condition type PB00 and PBXX in Materials Management Pricing?
And also please explain control or Application of both on Price determination ??
Thanks in Advance !!!!!

Hi,
PB00 condition type is used for automatic pricing in PO
PBXX condition type is used for manual pricing in PO
In Pricing access sequence play a vital role . If you need pricing automatic in the PO, you have use of Access Sequences and Schema Group of Vendor.You can see the difference in both standard condition type PB00 and PBXX, where as PB00 is assigned to Access sequence(0002)but in case of PBXX no access sequense assigned.

Difference between line type and internal table?

Hi..
I wanted to know, what is the difference between Line type and Internal Table?

Hi,
Before the 4.7 release in SAP if we want to define an internal table we have to write the defination using the occurs statement and we need to define all the fields using INCLUDE STRUCTURE or indidually all the fields ine by one.
From 4.7 release of R/3 SAP introduced the Line type concept and it's part of the ABAP OOPS concept. for internal table defination we don't need to use the occur statements. Instead INCLUDE structure we need to create a Line type for that structure in Se11 and then we can define the internal table like :
DATA : ITAB TYPE TABLE OF <LINE_TYPE>.
Only thing is this table will be a table without header. So for internal table processing we need to define a work area structure of type line of line type . EX:
DATA: WA_ITAB TYPE LINE OF <LINE_TYPE>.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Greetson

Difference between message type and idoc type

Hi
difference between message type and idoc type
Regards
Rama

Hi,
Message Type:
A message type represents the application message exchanged between R/3 systems and R/3 and an external system. A message type characterises the data sent across systems and relates to the structure of the data called an IDOC type.
Diff. with IDOC type
An IDoc type specifies the structure of the data.
A message type specifies the meaning of the data
Diff. b/w IDOC type and IDOC
An IDoc type is the definition of a specific data structure.
An IDoc is an actual instance of data based on an IDoc type. Therefore, there can be many IDocs created from a single IDoc type.
Example:
MATMAS is the message type and MATMAS05 is IDoc type for Material Master.
Thanks,
Shankar

Difference between open type flavors

What is the difference between true type flavor and post script flavor? I noticed that ttf is often more expensive the otf. Does this mean ttf is more compatible with more applications? Are they both still compatabile with both macs and pcs?

Re: - visio adn Type 1 fonts
There was no Visio with Office 97.
But for Visio 2000, that's exactly what I was trying to say. The
versions that worked with T1 were those that hadn't yet been
significantly altered by MS from their Visio Corp roots.
MS acquired The Visio Corporation in 2000, and for all practical
purposes just re-branded Visio 2000, which can be found in both Visio
Corporation and Microsoft editions.
MS did some rework to a version that was already in Visio's pipeline
and released it in April 2001 as Visio 2002. T1 fonts worked in this
release. This version did have some other transition problems
resulting from the beginnings of integration into the MS product line.
Visio 2003 was the first version fully integrated into the MS Office
family, and I believe it was the first where T1 support was broken.
And no, I don't think that the Office integration was directly
related! Visio 2003 somehow also lost support for .eps import and export.

Counter KF with 1 & 0 and difference between data type NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4)

Hi,
I need to create a counter kf which should populate 1 and 0 to this counter field. Please let me know is there any difference between data type
NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4).
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan kumar

Hi Pavan,
The basic difference between Number(DEC) and INT4 is its internal storage in system.
For Number (DEC) - Value internally stored as packed number with 3 decimal places whereas INT 4 as 4 byte integer without decimal places.
For counter KF, you can go for INT 4.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What are the difference between Activity types & SKFs

Dear Friends
Can any body help me regarding, what are the main differences between Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures(SKFs).
Thanks, in Advance

Hi Prabhakar,
Both are used as tracing figures. The major difference is that Activity type has price on its own and its gets summed up at the time of allocation. The sum figures debited to the receiving cost object and credited to sending cost object. Activity type cannot stand alone.
But it is not the case with SKF. SKF are only used as tracing factors and do not have price unlike activity type.
Example
In the case of activity allocation of Labour hours, the activity type of Labour with price shall be used.
In the case of statistical figure, take the example of Canteen expenses and its allocation between the Cost objects on the basis of head count of each cost object. :
Hope this answers to your query!

Difference between Activity Types & SKFs

Hi SAP Gurus,
Could someone tell me the difference between Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures (with examples).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Dear all,
Please let me rephrase/extend a bit what was stated so far:
Statistical key figures can be also understood as properties/attributes of a cost center being an "object": area, number of cars, headcount,... They can be used for descriptive/statistical purposes but mostly they act as indexes in cost center allocations. For example, an invoice for energy consumption is booked on one "collective" cost center and then alocated to other CCs e.g. by number of employees.
Activity types are used to valuate typical cost center activities. Amongst other purposes, they are used for direct activity allocations to PP orders where indirect overheads are not suitable. Another purpose is to reallocate internal activities between cost centers to avoid intracompany invoicing. As example, Engineering supports sales dept. with some special drawings. This activity is valuated per hour and used to debit the receiving CC via TC KB21N.
Result of both SKF and AT postings is in crediting the sender -> cost center over/underabsorption.
Kindly check also http://scn.sap.com/thread/1067453 and http://www.erpgreat.com/financial/what-is-activity-type-and-statistical-key-figure.htm

Difference between Material type and Item category

What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

Dear Christino
We can list out so many differences.
When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is taken
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which departmental data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
-Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
- Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
- Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

Difference between line type and table type

hi,
can any one explain the difference between line type and table type . and how to declare a internal table and work area in BSP's

hi,
Go through this blog, this might help you.
/people/tomas.altman/blog/2004/12/13/sdn-blog-how-to-do-internal-tables-in-bsp
People who have worked with ABAP for a while sometimes forget that the internal table concept is rather different than what exists in most programming languages. It is very powerful, but at the same time can be confusing.
In SAP it is possible to have a table which is the rows and a headerline which is the working area or structure which can then be commited to the table.
With a BSP, if we try to create an internal table within the BSP event or layout we will get the following error: mso-bidi-
                        "InternalTableX" is not an internal table - the "OCCURS n" specification is mso-bidi- missing.
class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]>The problem we are seeing as an inconsistency has to do with the difference between classic ABAP and ABAP Objects. When SAP introduced ABAP Objects they decided to clean up some of the legacy syntax and create stricter rules. However they didn't want to break the millions of line of code that already existed, so they only implemented these stricter checks when OO is being used. Therefore you can declare a table with a header line in a regular ABAP program or Function Module but you can't have one with a header line in OO.
Because everything in BSP generates ABAP OO classes behind the scenes, you get these same stricter syntax checks. My suggestion is that you have a look in the on-line help at the section on ABAP Objects and always follow the newer syntax rules even when writing classic ABAP programs.
In a BSP when we need to work with a table we must always do the following:
1, in the Types definitions create a structure:
                        types : begin of ts_reclist,
mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            receiver type somlreci1-receiver,
mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                 style='mso-tab-count: 1'>             rec_type type somlreci1-rec_type,
mso-bidi-         style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            end of ts_reclist.
mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
but we must remember this is only a structure definition and we cannot store anything in it, although we can use it elsewhere as a definition for Structures(WorkAreas)
2, in our Types definitions (this is the best place for this one as we can then access it from many areas without having to create it locally) so in the Types definitions we must create a TableType:
class="MsoNormal">                         types : tt_reclist type table of ts_reclist.
class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]> this TableType is our table definition and again we cannot store anything in it, but we can use it elsewhere as a definition for InternalTables
3, now that you have laid the foundations you can build and in the event handler, it is now simply a case of creating the InternalTable based upon the Table definition:
                       data: t_reclist type tt_reclist.
and creating the structure based upon the structure definiton:
<![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>                         data: s_reclist type ts_reclist.
as described above, the structure becomes the work area and this is where you assign new values for elements of the table eg:<![endif]>
                        s_reclist-receiver = '[email protected]'.   "<-- change address
mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
mso-bidi-                         s_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.
and then once the data is in the elements of the structure, the structure can be appended to the internal table as follows: class="MsoNormal">
                        append s_reclist to t_reclist.
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
the internal table will then be readable for the ABAP function and can be applied for example as follows: class="style1">           style='mso-tab-count:1; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;'>
class="style1">CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
                        EXPORTING
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    document_data = docdata
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'RAW'
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    PUT_IN_OUTBOX = 'X'
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    COMMIT_WORK = 'X' "used from rel.6.10
                        TABLES
mso-bidi-font-size: style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    receivers = t_reclist
class="style1"> <![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>
<![if !supportEmptyParas]>F inally, a comment from Thomas Jung,
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> when defining my work area for an internal table I like to use the like line of statement. That way if I change the structure of my table type, I know that my work area will still be OK. Second, your types and table types don't have to just be declared in your code. You can create a table type in the data dictionary and use it across multiple programs(also great for method and function parameters). I really push hard for the other developers at my company to use the Data Dictionary Types more and more.
Hope this helps, Do reward.

What is the difference between message type and element

hi,
When we create a new variable in BPEL we get the option to create 'simple', 'message type', 'element'
I would like to know what is the difference between message type and element.
thanks
Yatan

A message is part of the service and is usually assigned to one of the operations in the wsdl. For example getPhoneNumer() operation may have an input message of personInput and output of phoneNum. These messages would have a type...maybe of string or decimal or a complex type with multiple values.
An element is typically a complex type that could be defined in an xsd file.
When you create a variable in the bpel, you can declare it as a message or a simple type or an element. As I understand it, the simple types are pre-defined in the schema namespace such as string, decimal, date, etc.
The elements are defined in the xsd files or wsdls and can be a combination of strings, dates, etc or other stuff as well.
The messages are defined in the wsdl as part of the input/output but they are typically assigned a type just like other variables you create.
