Difference mpr controller and production scheduling profile (exact)

hi gurus
wht is difference between mrp contoller and production scheduling profile. and which will come first at the time of planning.
thanks in adavance

Hi,
MRP controller
MRP Controller is the person responsible for a group of materials in MRP in a plant or company.
Material that takes part in material requirements planning must be assigned to an MRP controller.
Production scheduler
Scheduler responsible for a material in production activity control.
Example
The production scheduler determines how capacity requirements are calculated for a material during a scheduling run.
MRP Controller comes into Planning first which you need to assign in MRP-1 View in material master while production scheduler you need to assign iin Work Scheduling View in Material Master.
Hope this helps clearing your doutb.
Revert if still any query.

Production scheduling profile

Dear Experts,
Can i have multiple scheduling profile ?
Issue is that i have defined Production scheduler A and production scheduling profile A1 in material master which refer to order type A2
Now i want to create production order of same material with order type B2 with Scheduling profle B1 how can i do that without changing the master data in matrial master.
I tried to give order type B2 in Co01 but it is refering Sch. Profile A1 only.
Please help me to solve the issue.
Amit

Hi,
I am unable to figure out from your query what you exactly need.
But for a given material even though you have a prod. sched. profile maintained with a certain order type, you can create an order with different order type.
If you're converting planned order to prod. order via co40 or co41, then system will propose the order type from the prod. sched. profile, this can be overwritten.
However if you're manually creating via co01, then you can choose the order type you want, system will not prevent you from doing so, unless there is some enhancement in-place.
So hope the above clarifies, if it does not, then please explain with an example, it would be better.

Production scheduling profile for production order type 10 does not exist – SAP Message No.10085

When i tried to make confirmation for Production Order through CO15 transaction , i receive the following error message “ Production scheduling profile for production order type 10 does not exist – SAP Message No.10085 “
In Work Scheduling view, Production Scheduling Profile is maintained as per OPKP only.
How to check whether production scheduling profile is maintained for relevant order type 10.
To do this , i went to OPKP & KOT2_OPA transactions but i don’t know how to check. I guide me through with a screen shot.
Also, pls explain about “Order Type 10” and how it is linked with material and order execution.
Looking for a detailed explanation with screen shots , since i am new to SAP.
Thanks With Regards,
Dinesh Kumar V.

Hello Dinesh,
Please check the order type dependent parameter in OPL8 here you will get the Substitute Scheduler
Then go to OPCH and check valid production scheduling profile assign here as per OPKP to your production scheduler for your plant.
Production order have Order category as 10 Process Order 40 in standard SAP you can check this in OPJH.

Production scheduler & profile configuration

Dear SAPper,
When i create production order, the production scheduler is automatically flled (ex.101) and then
the production scheduler profiles is automaticalled filled too.
I don;t maintain production scheduler & production scheduler profile in work scheduling in material master?
where did system pic thatt value??
Best regards,
Freddy Ha

Hi,
For your order type,
Please check if in OPL8 "Assignment" area - "substitute scheduler" field is defined.
This scheduler is picked up as default if not defined in material master.
If a PSP is attached to this defualt scheduler in OPJ9, then that will also be picked up in the order.
Hope this helps.

Ashok

Production scheduling profile for production order type 10 does not exist

Kindly suggest me how to resolve this error
Production scheduling profile for production order type 10 does not exist

Hi Archana,
Go to material master-work scheduling view and check what is the production scheduling profile maintained for the same materisl -plant combination.
then go to OPKP and check if production scheduliong profile is maintained for relevent order type 10 in custmizing. If not maintain one and it should resolve the error.

Printing setting in Production Scheduling Profile

Hello Guys,
In Production Scheduling Profile (OPKP) there is a config setting "On Release" Execute Printing.
I used this setting.
But I could not print the production again.
I want to re-print the production order.
How do I enable re-printing the production order?
Thanks
George King

Hi George,
the setting simply define that the production order is printed when the order is released. This setting should not have any effect to reprint.
Did you get any error? Are you able to print when you push the print button manually?
Settings in OPK8 are correct ?
Regards,
Sabine

Same material with diff. Production scheduler profiles

Hi,
I am working on PP-PI, where the same material is being manufactured using separate order types.
To be more specific, one order type for the regular manufacturing & another with Re-work order type. The requirement is such that the Order type dependent parameters & production scheduler profile are different in both the cases. Since my master has the prod. scheduler for regular manufacturing on the material master, even if i select the Re-work order type the system is considering the Settings of the regular manufacturing order.
I need to keep the production scheduler profile of the regular manufacturing order as a default in the material
master due to various reasons. At the same time system should consider the settings for Re-work order only when the specific order type is manually selected during order creation.
Appropriate solution would be of great help, thanks in advance

Hi,
Try using user exit. change the production scheduler profile during order save based on the order type.
check with your technical team.
hope this helps.

Production Schedule Profile & shop floor paper printing.....

Hi there ,
If we set the Execute Printing checkbox in the T-code CORYfor a production scehedule profile....... then when we will release the order along with the other shop floor paper do the Transfer Order will also get printed if the material is warehouse managed.........
Please enlighten me .....
Thanks & Regards
Kaushik

Hi there ,
Thanks for your reply...... I am aware of the fact that the shop floor paper will be printed once the order is relased & the relevant config is done in the Production schedule Profile.........
But in case of the material which are warehouse managed the Transfer requirement will be created & the further the Transfer Order........... I wan tto know that these will also Print the Transfer Order doucment for the warehouse managed material .......
Thanks & Regards

Difference between finite and infinite scheduling

Dear Frndz,
Pls tell me how the system will behave if I don't select the finite scheduling option for the work center.
Thanks and Regards,
Srini

Finite Scheduling
Scheduling type within capacity planning that takes account of the capacity loads which already exist. Finite scheduling calculates the start and finish dates for operations in the order. It is a detailed scheduling strategy with which you schedule orders and operations, taking into account the existing resource load. A resource overload cannot occur.
Infinite Scheduling
A detailed scheduling strategy with which you schedule orders and operations, without taking into account the existing resource load. It is therefore possible for resource overloads to occur.
R/3 does planning without consideration for capacity situations. So if MRP says you need 500 parts on 3/1/04, it schedules them all to be built at the same time, even though you can only do 100 at a time. Assume you have a fixed lot size of 100, you'll get 5 planned orders for 100 to start on the same day. This is "Infinite Planning". APO would recognize that constraint, and instead schedule out the 5 orders over time. The important part of that is that it also will schedule out the deliveries of the components for 5 different days. This is "Finite Planning".
Now, assume old fashion MRP. It schedules all 5 orders for the same day, and the buyers go out an get all of the components for the same day. Then the planner realizes he can't do all 5, and manually changes the schedule, and manually spreads out the 5 orders. The buyers will recieve rescheduling notifications, but not until the scheduler does the manual rescheduling.
You could call this "Infinite Scheduling", but that only means the same thing as Infinite Planning.
But, SAP has "Capacity Leveling". What that means is you run another program after MRP (CM27 and CM28), which can be run in batch mode overnight. (There is a ton of configuration and thinking that will be required to do this!). The capacity leveling program will recognize the constrant at the work center level, and fill up the first day, then re-schedule the next
order to the next available capacity, then the next order searches for available capacity, and so on. This is called "Finite Scheduling". The problem with this is the opposite of Infinite Planning, which is it doesn't take Material availablity into consideration! The system will re-schedule a production order without thinking about whether the materials will be available
or not.
Finite Planning does Finite Scheduling at the same time. If there is no capacity available on the desired date, the system looks for when capacity IS available. Then it stops to see if Materials will also be available (usually based on the lead-time for those components). If there is a material problem, then the system figures out when the materials WILL be available, and then
checks to see if capacity is available on THAT day, and if so, it blocks off capacity, and allocates the materials for that day
Hope clear to you, other wise pls come back

In production scheduling profile(opkp)

hi,
in opkp, material availability check --- confirm available partial quantity.
can any one tell me how it'll work in production(co01), what's the use of it.where it'll effect.
thanks/regards
vish

When you have set this indicator, if only a partial quantity can be committed for one component, then only partial quantities will be committed for all components during an availability check.
That means least committed components percentage set for all rest components.
So that out of remaining quantity of rest components other orders can move ahead.
Ex: Order Qty: 100 PC
Required Compo Qty         Available Qty   %Availability
200                                     200                   100%
100                                       40                     40%
50                                         20                     40%
B & C have only 40% of components availability so that A also allocated with 40% i.e. (80 qty)
You can use 120 qty of A for rest orders.

Auto GR with Control Key or Prod.Scheduling Profile

Hi PP champs
As we can use both i.e. Control key and Production scheduling profile for activating the Auhto GR for prodcution order confirmation ..Can some one help me which is the more preferred or which is considered first by the system if we have both in material master and routings respectively.
I have gone thru the documentation but couldn't get clearity as in both its mentioned as if its not activated in scheduling profile control key will take over and same thing for control key that if its not mentioned in control key system will check for production scheduling profile...
BR
Sumit

Sumit,
Generally Production scheduling profile is the prefered option, as most of the clients also prefer using to control certain auotmation at the time of order creation and release.
To me i dont see a big difference between using control key or scheduling profile to define auto GR.
As far as priority is concerned Control key is first checked by the system, if not available checks for scheduling profile.

Prasobh

SAP PP - production scheduler

hi.. i am a fresher in sap pp. i want to know what is production scheduler and production scheduling profile in work scheduling view of material master?

Hi Tuhin,
Production sheduler is The Person who is responsible To do all Scheduling Activities. with a aim to Maximum Utilisation of the Resources.
Production Scheduling Profile: i am giving some useful notes about this but you have to do some excercise to get clear understanding of this like changing options and creating NEw production orders. Be clear with Scheduling Profile As it have very good impact on production order processing.
The following controls can be set:
a) On creation
Automatic Order release on creation of the order (when the order status is CRTD)
Automatic Links of header Material related documents and BOM related documents items to the order (when the order status is CRTD)
b) On Release
Automatic Printing of Order papers on release of order (when the order status is REL) - If you are planning to use order related shop floor papers configured in the order list or order print settings in SAP, then you can use this functionality for automatic printing of papers at order release.
Automatic Scheduling of Order on order release (when the order status is REL) - This is recommended to be set. But donot use this if the order planning and scheduling is happening from an external system like APO or i2 etc.
Automatic Links of header Material related documents and BOM related documents items to the order (when the order status is REL)
c) Automatic Goods Receipt
If you are planning to receive certain materials automatically in to the finished goods storage location upon confirmation of the final operation in the order, then you can use this indicator rather than using the control keys in the order operation. Setting automatic goods receipt at this level reduces the effort of master data creation.
d) Capacity Planning
If you are planning to carry out Capacity Availability checks in the order for the header materials (which would carry the production scheduler profile), then you need to select the "Confirm Capacity indicator" and the "finite scheduling indictor" and choose a leveling profile.
The Capacity overall leveling profile is used by the system to carry out capacity availability checks in an order when the order is created or release as per the settings in the order availability controls at creation/release. SAP has provided an option to have the Capacity overall leveling profile maintained at material level rather than setting the profiles at order levels in the order availability controls. The Capacity Overall Leveling profiles once assigned here decides the way in which the capacity leveling has to be done for the materials (assigned with this production scheduling profile).
As far as the indicators are concerned, they only come in to play during mass conversion of planned orders in to orders or mass release of orders when the user does not decide the creation or release and the system is set to create or release anyways inspite. The below indicators help the system to make decisions on capacity availability checks and helps it proceed in creating or releasing the order.
By choosing the "finite scheduling indicator" you are forcing the system to consider all the operation work center of the header material relavent for finite scheduling during capacity availability checks, and in cases where there is no capacity availability for loading operations on work centers, the system loads operations on dates where there is sufficient capacity (automatically rescheduling to dates where their is availability).
And by choosing the "confirm capacity indicator" for capacity availability checks, you are indirectly telling the system to incorporate loads in work center loading reports for where there is sufficient capacity available, in other words the operations for which there is no sufficinet capacity available will not be loaded on work centers in the work center loading report. You should choose this indicator wisely.
Recommendation - Aviod using the "Confirm capacity indicator".
e) Confirmations
No Flor/Update of Expected Yield Surplus/Deficit - On Final Operation or order confirmation, if the confirmed quantity is less than (deficit) or more than (surplus) the operation or order quantity (confirmed scrap quantities) are not taken in to account , then the system displays the Yield Variances in the order header.
If you set this indicator the variances (if any) donot flow in to the order and MRP. This is not recommended to be used under standard circumstances since Material requirement planning would not consider the shortages and spoil the concept of net requirement planning or netting.
Adjust Operation/Component Quantities to Actual Value - In simple terms the system would readjust the planned operation qauntities of the order if you confirm the order with a smaller/larger yield than that planned (including the confirmed scrap quantities). Along with readjusting the planned operation quantities, the components quantities of the components assigned to the operation also changes proportionately.
This is applicable for the operation that has a yield variance and all the operations below the operation that has a change.
The system carries out the following in case there is a difference in the confirmation of planned quantities and the actual quantities (during order or operation confirmations)
a) Automatically readjusts the operation quantities for all operations below the concerned operation, including the concerned operation.
b) Automatically readjust the component quantities for all the components assigned to the operations below the concerned operation, including the concerned operation.
c) Readjusts the planned costs for all the operations and the order, overall. Though this recosting has to be done manually and it is not triggered automatically by the system.
d) Automatically reschedules the operations giving new dates and new capacity requirements.
e) Automatically makes changes in the Purchase requisitions created in the order for non-stock items or for the purchase requisition created for externally operation processing.
f) Automatically readjust the Transport requests created for WM.
For example -
Operation 0010 - Planned Qty = 100
Operation 0015 - Planned Qty = 100
Operation 0020 - Planned Qty = 100 - Component 10 - Qty = 100
Operation 0030 - Planned Qty = 100 - Component 20 - Qty = 100, Component 0030 - Qty = 50
Operation 0040 - Planned Qty = 100 - Component 40 - Qty = 100
Operation 0050 - Planned Qty = 100
If the confirmed qty in Operation 0015 is 102, then all the below operations and the component quantities are changed proportionately as shown below:
Operation 0010 - Planned Qty = 100
Operation 0015 - Planned Qty = 102
Operation 0020 - Planned Qty = 102 - Component 10 - Qty = 102
Operation 0030 - Planned Qty = 102 - Component 20 - Qty = 102, Component 0030 - Qty = 54
Operation 0040 - Planned Qty = 102 - Component 40 - Qty = 102
Operation 0050 - Planned Qty = 102
f) Batch Creation at Order level
If you want to have batch created at order level for certain header materials, then you can create a production scheduling profile and assign this profile to them.
You can configure whether you want Order level header material batch creation at order creation or release.
Not only, can you configure order header material batch creation, but you can also configure whether you want the batch created and classified in the order foreground or in the background (optional or mandatory).
g) WM related Transfer Requirements
Here you can specify whether you want to automatically create WM related transfer requirements or transfer orders for the order components (whose storage location is maintained, Storage location is relevant to WM, WM views are maintained for the component) at order release.
h) Order Type
In the production scheduling profile you can default order types which would be used while converting a planned order in to order or which can be used for manual creation of production order.
Regards,
Mahesh.
