Difference between Stock Transfer Horizon and Planning Time Fence

Hi Experts,
Could you plz help to explain the difference between stock transfer horizon and planinng time fence?
Appreciated your professional input to address my confusion.

Hi Gavin,
The stock transfer horizon is used in SNP planning, it is the time period within which SNP does not create any stock transfer requisitions.
The planning time fence is used by PPDS planning. It is the time period within which the PPDS planning does not create any orders. The orders lying within this period are considered to be firmed by the PPDS planning.
Functionally, the stock transfer horizon/ production horizon in SNP are analogous to the planning time fence in PPDS, which provide the system ability to keep the plan firm/unchanged within this period.
Hope this helps!

Umesh

Planning horizon and planning time fence

What is the meaning of terms
- planning horizon.
- planning time fence.
Where and how we can use these terms?
Kindly explain with a example.

Hi,
1. planning horizon
Net change planning in the system only plans materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to the planning run within the period which you defined as the planning horizon. The system sets the net change planning horizon indicator automatically for these materials.
In net change planning in the planning horizon, the system only plans those materials provided with the net change planning horizon indicator.
2. planning time fence
The planning time fence dictates a firm period for planning purposes. Subsequent MRP runs will not create planned orders within the time fence but will place them just outside it. Orders must be manually moved forward if desired. The idea is to create a short term period of plan stability.Check the MRP tabs on the Material Master for the planning time fence
period for the material.

Difference between Stock transfer and transfer posting

I am little confused about the difference between stock transfer and transfer posting. Please clarify
<<Locked - reason: failed to search before posting question>>
Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 9, 2011 9:10 AM

Hello,
Transfer posting may involve or not involve the physical goods transfer. In the system you might do transfer posting from quality to unrestricted, or from one store location to another.
In transfer posting you remove and or replace materials from storage in one storage location and place them in another storage location.
That transction code you use for transfer posting MB1B with following movement types may be used
301, 303,305,311,411,309.
301 is Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
303 & 305 : Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
In stock transfer, it always involves physical movement of goods, like transfer between plants under same company code or different company codes.
Following types are possible with STO's
Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

Firmimg the orders and planning time fence

Hi, Pls explain about firming and non-firming and planning time fence while running mrp or mps?what is meant by firming the orders? i do not know how it work and how can we interpret the reults? pls explain with one example.

Firming: When an order is firmed , indicates that the Order no longer needs to be planned in MRP.
Order gets firmed, when we change plannde order manually and save .
Planning time fence: the time period during which if any Order comes it gets firmed subject the Compatible MRP type.
Depedning on whether they need to be firmed or not and when a new requirement is creatd in the planning horizon, How the receipt needs to be planned within the Planning time fence or out side is controlled in the MRP type.

MF50 : Planning table and planning time fence

HI,
I use the transaction MF50 as planning table ( in order to do my MPS planning), I use "set firming date" to fix a firming date.
Now, I want o know if it should possible to reveal a message when we create a planned order within the firming date??
Thanks for your answer.

Hi,
For clarity , I am describing below the functionlity of Set Firming date is explained as below:
By setting Manual Firming date , we extend the planning time fence.
If a planning time fence has been created for a material then the following applies:
If the manual firming date lies before the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is still valid.
If the manual firming date lies after the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is extended until this date.
All order proposals with availability dates that lie before the end of the planning time fence of the manually extended planning fence are firmed for the planning run, if the materials have an MRP type which contains firming type or firming type 1 or 2
The system does not automatically firm order proposals for materials that have an MRP type with firming type 3 or 4, even if their availability dates lie before the end of the planning time fence or manually extended planning time fence.
Please check if this helps you.

Difference Between Basic Date Scheduling and Lead Time Scheduling.

Dear FRndz,
Kindly help me out the difference between the Basic Date Scheduling and Lead Time Scheduling.
Regards,
SRini

Dear,
Basic scheduling :
1.Basic dates are calculated.
2.Exact to day.
3.No cap reqmts are generated.
4.Uses the inhouse production time from material master.
5.Carried out automatically during planning run.
In basic date calculation ( order start date/ order finish date ) the system always
calculates backward scheduling.
1. From the reqmts date the system subtracts the GR processing time to
calculate the order fininsh date.
2. From the order finish date the system subtracts the inhouse production time to calculate the order start date.
3. From the order start date the system subtracts the opening period given in scheduling margin key to calculate the order opening date.
Lead time scheduling :
1.Exact to second
2.ie production start date /time and finish date and time are calculated.
3. cap reqmts are generated.
4. uses times from routing.
5. carried out only if the scheduling mode in MD02 screen is kept with indicator 2.
From the order finish date the system subtracts the float after production to calculate the production finish date.
From the production finish date the individual operations in the routing are scheduled backwards to calculate production start date.
From the production start date the system subtracts the float before production
to calculate order start date.
Same thread.

What r the major differences bet Stock transfer order & STO

hi friends,
can anyone explain me the major differences between
Stock Transfer Order and Stock Transport order,
with some examples.
regards
ganesh

hi,
When you do stock trasnfer with the Stock trasport order...then it has the following adavantages:
Advantages of the Stock Transport Order
The transfer of stock using a stock transport order has the following advantages over the transfer of stock without a stock transport order:
●     A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
●     You can enter a vendor (freight vendor) in the stock transport order.
●     Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.
●     The stock transfer order is part of MRP: Purchase requisitions that were created in MRP can be converted into stock transport orders.
●     The system can run an availability check for the stock transfer.
Hope it helps..

Internal Transfer, BOD, Planning Time Fence and ASCP Reschedule suggestion

Hi,
we've an ASCP plan with 5 ORG. We've many items with BOD like this one:
BOD of ITEM X:
ORG 1 BUY
ORG 2 TRANSFER FROM ORG 1
ORG 3 TRANSFER FROM ORG 1
Using this rule, we set PLANNING TIME FENCE for Buy items, at about 0,7 * LEAD TIME (from the approved supplier list) in BUY ORG (S01 in this example)
and PLANNING TIME FENCE = 0 in TRANSFER ORGANIZATION.
Sometimes, we release Internal Requisition to transfer item in excess from other organization to organization S01 to avoid Purchase Order not needed. In this case, the plan will suggest to reschedule OUT the internal requisition and if the planning time fence is large, people at the internal shipping department, will not see this Internal Req because they work in short range date.
Furthermore the ASCP plan will reschedule out all the Discrete job and planned order pegged to this suply.
This problem originate because we implement the reschedule out suggestion from ASCP over internal req ( we've a custom for this). How can ve avoid the Plan suggest to reschedule out this Internal Req? Maybe we can use the Profile "FIRM INTERNAL REQ INSIDE PLANNING TIME FENCE?".
Someone know if there are other ways?
Thanks in Adnvance.
Giacomo

Giacomo,
Usually, clients use "MRP: Firm Internal Req Transferred to OE" to keep internal requisitions from being rescheduled by ASCP. This would mean that any IR that has created an ISO would be treated as frim by ASCP. The intent is that since standard ASCP cannot reachedule ISO/IR orders, that you prevent these reschedule recommendations.
Since you have intentionally implemented a customization to cancel/reschedule these orders, this may not work for you.
The other profile option that you suggested; "MSO: Firm Requisitions Within Time Fence" was intended for purchase requisitions. It may work for internal requisitions, but you'll have to test. If it did, it would only work for the organization that is recieving the IR. You had set the PTF to zero (0) in that organization.
I suggest you try the combination of this last profile option with a PTF value that you do not want to see any reschedules.

Kevin

Difference between stock and non stock material

what is the difference between stock and non stock material. example of stock and non stock material?

Hello,
Stock Material
Material that is constantly kept in stock .A stock material has a material master record and is managed on a value basis in a material stock account.
Ex: Raw Material.
Non-stock Material
Material that is not held in stock because it is consumed immediately.
Ex: Office Stationary.
You need to create purchase order and accounting document for payment but the stock balance is always zero as it is issued out immediately to the various department.

Time difference between the Identity system and Access System: OAM

I was installing OAM. Performed the below steps.
-installed identity server
-installed webpass
-setup of identity system console
-installed policy manager
-setup of access system console
The above steps were successfull. Then when i was logging into Access system console, i am getting the below error:
Error:there was a problem obtaining the userid. One possible reason for this is a time difference between the Identity system and Access systems (Policy Manager and Access system console).+
The Identity Server, WebPass and Policy Manager are installed on the same machine.
Userdata repository: OVD 10.1.4.3
Policy and Config Data Repository: OID 11.1.1.3
OAM: 10.1.4.3
Windows2008 - 64bit
Found document in metalink similar to this issue. suggested to change ldapmaxofreties. but didn't help.
Any idea on this error. Please Advise.
Thanks in advance.

Try this::
Check Time Difference Between Identity and Access Manager Systems
Check the logfile in the Access Manager install directory. The default location is <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/logs/oblogfile.
If the file exists and it contains following line "skew = slack = " that means the Identity and Access Manager Web Servers are on different machines and have not synchronized time within a minute.
Either synchronize times between the two machines within a minute's accuracy or you can increase the slack by modifying these two files: <$AMinstall_dir>/access/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.lst: loginslack: <$IMinstall_dir>/identity/oblix/apps/common/bin/oblixbaseparams.xml: loginslack: where numofseconds is more than skew found in the oblogfile.
For example, if you have following line in oblogfile "skew = 121 slack = 60", set numofseconds in the two parameter files to 130. After doing this, Stop the Identity Manager Web Server. Then stop the Identity Server. Start the Identity Server.
Then start the Identity Manager Web Server. Start a new browser session and see if you get the same error.
