Difference Between planning plant & production plant ?

Hi PP members:
I would like to know difference between planning plant & production plant ? Why do we maintain planning plant
Thanks for your time & efforts
Thanks Again,
Suren R

Hi,
Suppose there are two plants A & B in an organisational structure.
Suppose you need a material in plant A but you cannot produce it in plant A because of unavailability of resources. And these resources are available in plant B.
So you can produce the material in plant B and the requirement is thru plant A (e.g thru MRP). Here plant A becomes planning plant & plant B becomes production plant.
To carry out the actual planning and production, follow the following steps-
1) In SPRO, in the special proc key parameter's setting for plant A, mention plant B as the alternative plant.
2) Prepare the material master of the required material in plant A, in MRP 2 view maintain spl proc key as 40 (proc from alt plant) or 80 (production in alternative plant)
3)Maintain the material master in the alternative plant too. In MRP 2 maintain proc type = E. Maintain routing.
4) Carry out MRP run in plant A. If there is any demand, a STPR (spl proc key 40) or planned order (spl proc key 80) will be created in plant A. The stock requirement list will show plant B as the production plant.
5) In case of 40, a planned order will be created in plant B. In case of 80, with proper settings, the planned order in plant A after converting becomes a production order in B.
6)Carry out the production. In case of 40 the material can be sent to plant A from B thru STPO. In 80 the stock in plant A is directly updated when you hit a GR against production order in plant B
7) KINDLY CLOSE THE THREAD.

What is difference between bus.Area and plant

dear experts,
what is difference between bus.Area and plant?
thanks
Rajakarthik.

Hi
Plant and Business Area are not the same.
Business Areas are configured in FI module as per the Product lines or geographical operations basis.
Where as The plants created in the logistics (General) module are assigned to the company code. That means all transactions taking place in the plants are posted to the attached company code in SAP FI.
You can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code reporting.
The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area. When you use the R/3 System to automatically draw up accounts for business areas, you can assign only one business area to a combination of plant and division. Plants and divisions can be assigned and combined in several different ways.

Difference between Business Objects products

We have add-on applicaion on R/3 System and use it to gerate some reports, queries, analysis with in that application. We are exploring how Business Objects could be useful to enhance this application's output. We don't have BW system. This is just on R/3 system only.
From my limited knowledge about BusinessObjects, I was thinking to decide using one of the following product.
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Premium (User) or
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Prof. for Query, Reporting, Analysis (User)
I would appreciate if you share your thoughts about difference between these two products. Is this right product or any other BusinessObject product we should consider.
Thanks,

SAP is offering variety of licensing polices with taking consideration of SAP with NW BI, SAP without NW BI and non SAP but BO customer in mind : Single licensing if someone choose full fledge service offering otherwise there is different segment wise licensing also there. Eg. someone wants to go only for premium service on reporting also feasible but he will not get other services.
SAP BO portfolio covers four prduct category
BI Solution ( BI solution enables Advance analytics, dashboard & visualization, query reporting & analysis and reporting)

Difference between planning r/3 and BPS

Hello gurus
Can u please let me know the main difference between planning in R/3 and BW-BPS
komal

Hi,
SAP R/3 planning
1. CO-PA is used to input sales forecasts and production
quantities directly into CO (reporting out of Report Painter
or ABAP)
2. Sales and operational planning can assist with make or buy
planning (reporting out of ABAP or standard SAP R/3 reports)
3. Production planning determines the capacity and your ability
to meet the sales and operational plan (reporting out of ABAP
or LIS)
4. Cost center planning and/or product costing uses planned
activity rates and/or product costs to derive the P&L (reporting
out of standard SAP R/3 reports or ABAP)
5. Possible other plans in PCA, labor in HR, and procurement in
MM (reporting out of various SAP R/3 reporting tools)
BI-IP planning
1. BI-IP is used to input sales forecasts and production quantities
(reporting out of SAP NetWeaver BI)
2. BI-IP can be used for sales and operational planning for make
or buy planning (reporting out of SAP NetWeaver BI)
3. APOs Demand Planning determines the capacity and your
ability to meet the sales and operational plan (reporting out of
SAP NetWeaver BI)
4. BI-IP performs cost center planning and/or product costing
using planned activity rates and/or product costs to derive the
P&L (reporting out of SAP NetWeaver BI)
5. Possible other plans in BI-IP include profit center, labor, cost
center, and procurement (reporting out of SAP NetWeaver BI)
SAP R/3 pros:
&#56256;&#56460; Has sophisticated allocation functionality
&#56256;&#56422; BPS does not
&#56256;&#56422; Consider retraction of BI-IP data to SAP R/3 for allocation
&#56256;&#56460; Offers availability control
&#56256;&#56422; Not available in BI-IP
&#56256;&#56460; Allows you to use existing Report Painter/Writer SAP R/3
reports in planning
&#56256;&#56422; BI-IP uses SAP NetWeaver BI reports or must retract
data back to SAP R/3 to use existing Report
Painter/Writer reports
BI-IP pros:
&#56256;&#56460; Allows you to use master data that does not exist in SAP R/3
&#56256;&#56422; For SAP R/3 planning, SAP R/3 master data must be used
&#56256;&#56422; Limits your ability to do what ifs with nonexistent
master data or hierarchies
&#56256;&#56460; Has one interface for all planning and reporting
&#56256;&#56422; SAP R/3 has different interfaces for each SAP R/3 module,
thus increasing confusion and training costs
&#56256;&#56460; Easier full integration in BI-IP harder to achieve in SAP R/3
&#56256;&#56460; Uses single reporting tool in BI-IP (SAP NetWeaver BI) SAP
R/3 uses different tools per module
All planning functions are available in BI-IP regardless of
functional area
&#56256;&#56422; In SAP R/3, planning functions differ by module or dont
exist at all
&#56256;&#56460; All planning functions are Web-enabled in BI-IP
&#56256;&#56422; Some planning functions arent Web-enabled in SAP R/3

Difference between Planned cost..........

Hi PP Experts,
Can anybody please tell me what is difference between Planned cost & Actual cost.Where I can see this both cost.

Hi,
Planned Cost is the cost which is calculated when you create the production order i.e. when you click on Calculator icon in production order.
Whereas Actual Cost is updated two ways : Actual Material cost is updated when you do Goods Issue against the Production order and Actual Activity cost is updated when you carry out Confirmation.You need to calculate Overheads in Tcode : KKS2. These all costs cumulatively will constitute your Actual cost.
You can view all costing details in :
CO03--> Go To ( Menu)--> Costs -
>
Analysis
Itemixation
Cost Comp Structure
Balance
You can have the required details of costs by choosing any of the above options.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
For more details go through sap help.

I need to know the difference between planned SKF and Actual SKF from business view and when I can use one of them ?

I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
thanks

Hi Salaam,
Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.

What is the difference between Planning cycle and Delivery cycle?

Hi gurus ,
After created the planning calendar for store , I have the same option value for planning cycle and delivery cycle (planning calendar) in the MRP area data for site specific material master , so what's the difference between these two field ?
Thanks in advance ,
Ryan

Hi,
If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle

What is the difference between Planning calendar and Delivery cycle?

Hi gurus ,
For the Planning calendar(MARC-LFRHY) and Delivery cycle(MARC-MRPPP), what is the difference between their functionality ?
I have created the planning calendar by MD25 ,and when I maintain this field in the MRP screen , i found the delivery cycle have the same choose value , so could you make me clear about this ?
Thanks in advance .

Difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version

Hi friends,
What is the difference between Planning Version and Simulation Version?
Thanks,
Debi

Debi
There are a lot of threads in this forum that give detailed info about version concept. Also you can refer to help.sap.
Anyways , planning version is the version against which your live cache data is stored. The data against this version is the one that the planners and buyers are going to refer to or use to make their planning and buying decisions. Data against the planning version is nothing but data relevant to the business .
There may be instances where you would like to simulate some scenario. If you want to do trial and error analysis and at the same time if you do not want to impact the actual business data , then you create simulation versions and simulate your scenario.
For example your actual sales orders received for the month of March may be 100 CS. This is the actual number that will be stored against your planning version. Lets say the demand planner wants to find out what will be the impact if there is a sudden bulk demand from a new customer for 500 CS - that is if he wants to do a what - if analysis then he can create a simulation version and try to check the impact .

Difference between MRP group and plant parameters

hai friends,
please let me know, what is the main difference between the MRP group and plant parameters?,
what are the extra activities or features with one, when compare to the other?.
Edited by: Mourya.v on Sep 22, 2010 6:36 AM

Dear Mourya,
Why to assign MRP group? - If planning for each plant is not specific enough for your purposes and you would like to assign
control parameters that differ from the control parameters defined for the plant to certain material groups.
1.For all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters that is the settings present in OPPQ, or the
entries in the initial screen of the planning run.
2.For all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group that is the settings in OPPR.
3.The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of
materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want
to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are
defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
4.The MRP group, groups material from the material requirements planning point of view to allocate them control parameters for
planning.The control parameters include the strategy group, the planning horizon and the creation indicator for the planning run.

Differences between planning strategies 40,70 & 50

My understanding is as follows:
startegy 40: mts startegy, here finished products are produced against pir (forecast) and when we receive the s/o, s/o will consume the pir. example: finished products are manufactured without s/o and when we recieve the s/o they wil be shipped to customer.
strategy 50: mto startegy, here sub assemblies are manufacture against pir (forecast), when we recieve the s/o for the finished/final product, all the manufactures sub assemblies will be assembled finally with an extra value added operation and sent to customer. please suggest me an example for this strategy.
startegy 70: mts startegy, here sub assemblies are manufactured against pir, when we receive the s/o for final product, bom explodes and dependent req consume the pirs. i think here there is no final assembly/ value added operation. i think the sub assemblies will be sent as it is.
startegy 20: simple mts strategy for components. components are produced against pirs, against s/o when we do gi, the s/o will consume the pir of the components. applicable only for raw material or components.
startegy 10: simple mto, against s/o only production commences. no pirs.
please advise any mistakes in my understanding of above stategies and i appreciate if you give me one scenario for each startegy. mainly looking for differences between strategy between 40 and 70.

Difference between plan,actual and target in order

hi
plz tell me ans.
In the manufacturing order WHAT is the difference PLAN, ACTUAL and TARGET.
In the CK11N, we will estimate plan cost for one finished product but in order we are taking 2 costing variant that is PRODUCTION ORDER PLANDED (PPP1) and PRODUCTION ORDER ACTUAL(PPP2) . in the ORDER calculation which is taken as an account and tell me their functionality separately
thank u
sowmya

Plan Cost means this is the cost of Product or Material or Activity or any others statistical price which we estimate and Plan prices for organizations future activities.
Actual cost is the original/Actual cost we incurred for Product or Material or Activity or any other.
Target cost are the costs that are expected for a certain operating rate. It is the dynamic value which will be calculated on the basis Operating rate (Operating rate = (Actual activity / Plan activity) X 100), and It is a consistent basis useful for comparisons of the plan and actual costs of a period.
Ex:
we plan $110 per hour of Labor activity.
but we incurred $125 as actual cost.
for this Target cost is (125/110)*100=113
We use Costing variant for plan to calculate plan price of Order.
when order is created system posts planned costs to the order according to standard cost estimate of product, which uses the planned cost variant.
when the production is carried out Actual costs are posted to the order using Costing variant for actual. when order is completed system uses this two values to calculate the variance of production order. which can be settled to FI.
Hope U got...
