Discontinuation: calculation of remaining stock in planned orders

Hi Experts,
In discontinuation component A is followed by component B. Component B will be used when stock of component A is depleted.
In our system we now see that the calculation of available stock for component A is different for planned orders than for production orders. Planned orders switch 2 months earlier to the new component B than production orders. It seems that the system doesn not include shipping notifications in the calculation for planned orders.
Does anyone know where this is configured?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Albert-Jan

AJ,
It is possible that your ship notifications are not relevant for MRP. You can check this in ME23N, select item details, select the confirmation tab, select the relevant confirmation, look at the contents of "M" (relevant for MRP) checkbox. You can changes the default behavior of your confirmations in IMG > MM > Purchasing > Confirmations > Set up confirmation control. Select the control key being used in these orders. Select the confirmation sequence. Look to see if the 'MRP relevant' checkbox is selected.
Before you decide to change this, reflect on what it will mean. If it is currently un-set, then your PO schedule lines are relevant for MRP, rather than your confirmations. Don't change it unless you want the confirmations to take precedence over the schedule lines in planning.
In most instances I have seen, if the ShipNots have been made relevant for ATP, they are also made to be relevant for MRP. Less confusion.
Below, a couple of notes that do a pretty good job explaining how discontinuation works.

Discontinued parts get no function in Plan order

Dear experts :
     my Problem is:
         When i creat the production order , the requirement of follow -up group replace the discont. group. but when i creat plan order, it does not work, even after i run MRP,MPS.(Creat the PR for part "a").
        and when i tranferred the Plan order to production order, it works again.
    My scenario is:
         I set the discontinuation indicator:(1), followed parts (b), effective-out date(in the past) in master of main item(a) for discontinuation. and matained the Discont. group(a,a1,a2 total 3parts),Follow-up group in BOM(b,b1 total 2parts). and the mrp type, units of these 5 parts are same.
      now part 'a' still have some stock, but are reserved.
     Can you kindly tell me the reason?
     Tks.

Can anybody give me an advise? The discontinued setting (Material and BOM) seems have no effect in Plan Order.

Planned Order for stock and planned order for customer requirement

Hello everybody
I want to make a different, in MD04, between the planned order for stock and the planned order created for a customer requirement
Thank for your help

Hi,
True planned order are generated for both the cases but the planned order generated for sales order will have sales order number in the below column and for stock will show independent requirement. Mainly no sales order reference will be there for make to stock scenario.
Hope it will help.

Issue in Deployment of SNP Planned orders

Hi Experts,
I am trying to deploy SNP Planned orders and I have made relevant settings in SNP2 i.e. ATP category in ATD Receipt.
When I run deployment, it creats deployment stock transfer (DEP: PReq / DEP:ConRl) based on available stock first. When I run deployment second time, then it creats deployment stock transfer( DEP: PReq / DEP:ConRl) for SNP Planned order with the same quantity of stock & not for entire quantity of SNP Planned order. Please refer below example to make it clear
Total Demand at destination location = 600
Stock at supply location = 100
After planning run, Purchase requsition of 600 is generated at destination location.
At supply location, SNP Planned order of 500 is generated considering 100 stock is available against PReqRel of 600.
When I run Deployment first time, it forms DEP: PReq / DEP:ConRl of 100 based on available quantity of 100.
After running Deployment second time it forms again DEP: PReq / DEP:ConRl of 100 and it continues to create deployment stock transfer till it completes the quantity of SNP planned order.
So all together it creates 6 deployment stock transfers instead of forming one deployment stock transfer (stock+ SNP Planned order).
There is no lot size setting for product master.
Can anyone suggest whether I need to do some settings to get one deployment order instead of 6.
Thanks & Regards,
Chetan

Hi Chetan,
It looks the SNP planned order is not being considered in the receipts quantities to be available for deploying against requirements.
Please check SNP order ATP type( it is normally EE) is included in the appropriate Categroy group
IMG >> APO > Supply Chain Planning > SNP > Basic Settings > Maintain Category Groups
Example : ATD Receipts: ATR
Typical values : AI, AJ, BF, CC,EE,EF, EI
Secondly, in the transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN, in the Key Figure detailed tab, ATD Receipts should have assigned the Category Group(say ATR).

Safety stock coverage by Planned order

Dear all,
when I set the static safety stock for material w/o any other requirement in the MD04 and run MRP, system will generate Planned order to cover the safety stock. Safety stock availability for MRP is set to 0 (that´s correct in this case)
It´s expected by my customer, when there are no requirements (reservations, sales orders etc.) system will not generate any Planned order even if there is a "shortage" caused by the safety stock.
Does anybody have an experience with this?
Example in MD04:
Stock 100
Safety stock -101
Available stock -1.
No requirement.
=> System should not create any Planned order.
Thanks for answers.
Regards,
Martin Valcik

Hi,
You may try by defining safety stock availabilty ( in terms %) for a plant + Mrp group in IMG setting.
menu path for ur reference :
Material Requirement Planning
   |_ Planning
         |_ MRP Calculation
                  |_ Stocks
                          |_ Define Safety Stock Availability
Here you define the percentage of the safety stock to be available for planning. This function is used to avoid a situation where order proposals are created unnecessarily by the system to cover small shortage quantities.
Hope this is useful,
Regards

Plan costs calculation during results analysis of sales order

Hi Experts,
I am in process of implementing sales order costing. I am facing a problem during result analysis with plan costs data.
We have a sales order for which production order is generated. Cost object is sales order.
Say, sales order cost estimate which is the plan costs --> is $ 1000 (which includes prod order COGM of $ 600) (So remaining sales and admin costs are $ 400)
Plan cost of production order is $ 550 (as per production order cost analysis report)
While calculating the result analysis for sales order, system is calculating the plan costs data as $ 1000 + $ 550 = $ 1550
As a result, I feel plan costs data during result analysis is over calculated.
I feel either plan costs should be $ 1000 (as it already includes COGM part)
or
$ 950 which is (plan cost of production order $ 550 + sales and admin costs of $ 400)
Could some one explain me why result analysis shows plan costs data as $ 1500 and if I need to rectify how can I do so.
Thanks,
GAN

Any suggestions please.

Sufficient stock but MRP create planned order and purchase requisition .

Hi Expert,
After MRP run planned order and purchase requisition created . but the problem is for child material sufficient is there but still PR and plnd order is created .
MRP type PD, LOT size EX,Strategy group 10, for testing purpose I made safety stock 0, min lot size 0 , max lot size 0.
I cant find the cause why MRP create PR and Pland order for the material which has sufficient stock. Please help.

Dear Anirban
could you check the following master data value:
Lot size -> MB Monthly ( only for test)
Rounding value -> null
Strategy 40 MTS.
You can try with this setting in order to figure out what is the problem.
You can check also orizzon planning and re-scheduling (set to 999).
Let me know if i have been useful for you

BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 creating planned order from Restricted Stock

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to programmatically replicate the Push Production functionality as in /SAPAPO/RRP3 transaction. We are using the BAPI - BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 and it is working fine for conversion of planned orders and Process Orders to component planned/process orders and dependant demand for the parent material. The issue is when we are trying to convert a restricted stock to a planned order and dependant demand using the BAPI, we are getting a message "No valid source of supply could be found". Please let us know if anyone has a resolution to this issue or if any further details are required.

Hi,
Tlane is not a field name,I wanted to say Transportation Lane(T-Lane) exist or not in the system for that product-location combination.
For the SOURCE_NAME field, it is clearly mentioned in the documentation of BAPI that,
Selection of sources of supply (for example, PP/DS PPM)
ORDER_END_DATE is used as standard as the selection time for the source of supply (in-house production). If ORDER_END_DATE is empty, the value from ORDER_START_DATE is used instead.
If a different time should be used to select the source of supply, this can be set using the EXPLOSION_DATE field.
If a date field is not specified for an order change, the date of the last explosion of this order is used for source of supply selection.
The entries in the MASTER<...> fields also play a role for source determination. That is, possible sources of supply are searched for on the basis of product, location, quantity, and so on.
For the selection of sources of supply, the setting from the product master for plan explosion is used.
If several possible alternative sources of supply are found, the system chooses one source of supply as standard.
However, if you want to select a specific source of supply that has been found, you can use the fields PLAN_NUMBER + PPM_NUMBER, PROD_VERSION, or SOURCE_NAME. Note that only one combination may be used; you cannot use both PLAN_NUMBER and PROD_VERSION at the same time because both are valid for different source of supply types.
Please check with the functional consultant, in plan explosion field in product master what value they have maintained.
Because BAPI will try to get the source of supply name on basis of that field which is mentioned in the documentation.

Saurabh

Pegging relation for stock got lost once we do changes to the SNP planned order.

Hello Experts,
Pegging relation for stock got lost once we do changes to the SNP planned order.
We are using a BAPI "BAPI_MOSRVAPS_CREATESNPORDER" to make changes to the planned order as per our business requirement.
However after changes the pegging relation got lost.
Please help, why and how to solve this.

Dear Krish,
While creating orders using BAPI pegging relationship will be lost.
Could you be more clear which orders you are creating?
Some times dynamic pegging is possible.
Regarding pegging relationship please check the link, it may help you.

Only create planned order if no stock

Experts,
I want to setup MTO environment with possible delivery from stock. If I use strategy 20 (MTO) the system always generates planned orders even if there is stock, with strategy 10 (MTS) no planned orders are created.
Flow:
- when sales order is created and there is no stock --> MRP generates planned order
- when sales order is created in stock is available --> no planned order should be generated by MRP
I tried to make a new strategy but can't find settings to make our flow possible. Has anyone experience? I guess this is a situation faced in many companies.
Reward points if helpful answer.
Thanks,
jan

Hi,
I'm not totally sure this is the only strategy suitable for you, maybe you can examine this pdf material:

Remaining capacity requirements scheduled for operation in Planned Order

Hi all,
I'm workig with planned orders, and I need the "Remaining capacity requirements scheduled for operation" data to list it in a Z Report, but I don't know how to get it.
You can see the info in the "Detail Scheduling" of the planned order in MD13.
Anyone knows how to get the info? Any table or any FM to get it?
Points will be given for helping
Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find out where the planned order capacity information lives? I can find the production capacity information in table KBEZ, but it appears that there is no planned order info there.
Thanks,
Matthew Bruckner

Planned order for Negative stock

Hi All,
Negative stock set up is active at storage location level. Due to this setting I got some negative stock in storage location.
MRP is creating additional planned order specific to negative stock qty other than planned order created for that day requirement.
How to get only one planned order for entire day requirement including negative stock?
we have daily lot size in mat master.
Thanks.

Negative stock "requirement date" is immediate (day of MRP run). The other daily requirement that you may have, may be for a date other than "today", and this is why you get 2 planning proposals.

Planned order conversion to Process Order and Stock Transport Order

Hello Friends,
Help me to setup the below scenario
We have an requirement wherein MAT1 can be inhouse produced or can also get stock from other plant via stock transport order.
For which in Material master I have configured
MRP 2 view
Procuremrent Type - X
Special Procurement - 40 (wherin the splly plant is maintained)
MRP 3 view
Strategy group - 40 (as it is planning with final assembly)
But when i run MRP system created Planed orders for PIRs. Selecting Planned Order conversion only Purchase req tab is available we do not have an option to convert to production order.
Kindly help me correcting the settings, so that i should be in a position to convert planned order either to process order or Stock transport Purchase requisition.
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Stock transfer is only possible with procurement type 'F'. when you take spl.procurement type 40, its a combination of F(procurement type) and U (Spl.procurement). it will over write the procurement type ('X' in your case) in material master. that is the reason u r getting only pur req.
if you know the proportion quantity i.e how much inhouse and how much stock transport, then use quota arrangement.
or
don't use any spl procurement key. define the materials in both the plants. when converting planned order to pur req. manually assign supplying plant and item category 'U'. try this.
Thanks & regards

Auto-release Planned Orders is not creating WIP job after zero on-hand (i.e. Level Below safety stock)

Hi
The time release fence in defined at item level as 1 day also safety stock level is defined in inventory safety stock form.
Once MRP launch it should create the discrete job against item as zero onhand for that item but MRP workbench is showing planned order for the item instead of creating item.
