Discontinuation&Production Order

Hi,
We have the situation where actual production (reported to the production order) may sometimes be larger than the planned quantity (the quantity on the production order). This is not a problem.
The problem arises when in such an order there is a component that has a follow-up material defined in MRP 4 view. In this case the system behaviour is such that it will withdraw (backflush) the original component up to the planned production quantity, and then will withdraw any additional production quantity from the follow-up material.
We will like that the system withdraw all from the original component, because the follow-up material is usually not in stock yet at this point in time, and we get COGI errors in vain.
Thanks in advance for your inputs,
Mario

Discontinuation functionality with production orders

Dear Guru's,
Can anyone please confirm: is the functionality for discontinuation of a material (including follow-up material) not available with production orders?
Example: in our system we have component A that is followed up by component B. This is set in material master - MRP 4.
We also have production orders for the upcoming 4 months in our system. If the stock of component A is depleted within these 4 months, we would expect to see requirements (orderreservations?) on component B, but this is not the case.
Thanks for any comments,
Rgds, AJ

Hi
Discontinuation works for Production orders.Couple of Checks needed for both Follow up and Discontinued Materials to arrive to actual problem
1) Base unit of measure must be same
2) Should have same MRP type
3) Not defined as Co-Products
For detailed info pl refer the link

Considerations for setting up Return Order for Discontinued Product

What are your thoughts on implementing a process to allow discontinued materials on return orders for product repairs? Some considerations we have encountered are below; please reply if you have thoughts on any/all:
-- how to allow the discontinued product on a return order but not on a regular sales order (we were thinking one option would be to customize listing/exclusion table functionality to include sales order type and set up condition records that include just the return order type + customer + material combination?)
-- how to allow the discontinued product to be restricted to just the customer who is returning the material (listing/exclusion sounds like the way to go here)
-- how to properly discontinue a product that might come back for warranty repairs (ie, should it be a certain material master flag rather than the flag for deletion in a plant?)
-- if returns come back to a different plant (even a virtual one), would that make any of this easier, especially wrt flagging for deletion?
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
how to allow the discontinued product on a return order but not on a regular sales order (we were thinking one option would be to customize listing/exclusion table functionality to include sales order type and set up condition records that include just the return order type + customer + material combination?)
how to allow the discontinued product to be restricted to just the customer who is returning the material (listing/exclusion sounds like the way to go here).
For both of the above, you can use user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE (program MV45AFZZ).
how to properly discontinue a product that might come back for warranty repairs (ie, should it be a certain material master flag rather than the flag for deletion in a plant?)
- When the product is received in the plant/warehouse, put the quantity in blocked stock. Check with MM/IM, on disposing the stock (write-off) at regular intervals
if returns come back to a different plant (even a virtual one), would that make any of this easier, especially wrt flagging for deletion?
Yes that can be an option. Alternatively you can create a storage location (virtual) in plant, and you can write off the inventory. Creation of storage location is easier than creation of plant in the system

Alternative item quantity greyed out on Production order creation

I'm creating a production order. One of the materials in the BOM uses an alternative, the discontinuation indicator = 1 on material MRP4 view.
The production order is using the alternative which is ideal, but the quantity for the alternative is greyed out so the quantity cannot be changed? Ordinarily the quantity for a component in a production order can be changed. Can the quantity field be configured so it changeable for alternatives? Where is the discontinuation indicator configured please?
Thanks in advance.

In the production order both the original and the alternative material are listed. The original item has a blank qty in the field and the alternative has the required qty (greyed out though), say qty 10.
If I want to issue say just 8 of the alternative and 0 of the original , why would I enter a qty for the original material? The shop floor found 2 hanging around so I want to change the alternative qty to 8 if possible, and thats all I wish to issue against this production order.
Thanks for your help

Production order BOM error

hi,
We have an BOM item A validate from 25th, it is a replacement of BOM item B which is invalidate from 25, but the production order created on 21st already used this item A instead of item B.
Could you help me to check what happend?

Hi,
Are you using discontinuation indicator from material master to invalidate compoenent A with B?
In that case if staock of A falls to xero, production order automatically uses compoennet B when availability check is run.
Check and Revert,

Open Production Order

Hi have to create a report that has open sales order , open po , open pur req , open planned order and open Production order.
I need the logic for OPEN PRODUCTION ORDERS.
The status of the production orders are maintained in JEST Table .
I need logic to elimate the completed production orders during my selcet . Since JEST Table has multiple entries and for some orders that are released the 'DELV' status wil not be maintained at all at that time.
I wil really appreciate your help , if you can tell me how to emliminate the completed production orders during my select query to get the open prod orders.
Is there any fun moduel or bapi that wil give the Open prod orders ?? or any std report that gives open PO??
Thanks

for this you can use the Function STATUS_TEXT_EDIT , for this pass Objnr (get the objnr from AUFK table using the production order) it will give you the status in the LINE exporting parameters.

Creation of Production order in Past dates using RFC

Hi all,
I am using RFC to Create a production order based on the datas available from MES systems.Here the process flow is From MES system datas are passed to interface in file format then from interface will calll the RFC so that the RFC will do the function of Creating the Production order & release in SAP.
Here i face an issue that i have 3 shifts at the end of every shift i have to tranfer the datas from MES to SAP .Which means i have to create 3 Production orders for a day.My issue here is the third shift datas will be availble for me in the next day morning after that only i am able to transfer theses datas to SAP.In this case i want the SAP to create th Production order for third shift in the Previous day time.
Ashift - 7AM t0 3PM
BShift-3PM to 11PM
CShift-11 PM to Next day morning 7 AM
I need SAP to create Production order for Shift C on 11 PM of the Previous day when i transfer it on next day morning 7AM.
Is this possible.
Thanks in Advance,
MBN

Hi,
I mean the Production Created date as the basic date only.
My requirement is for the C shift i will get the output from the MES on the next day morning.After that i wwill transfer the production datas to SAP throgh Interface at that time i need the basic start date & time of the production order to be the C shift starting time that is previous day night 11.00 PM.
Eg.
C shift date 12.04.2010 night 11PM to 7AM
i transfer the c shift production datas from MES to SAP on 13/04/2010 Morning 7AM.But i want these datas to create basic start date & time of the production order on 12/04/2010 11PM.
What should be done to get these.
Thanks in advance,

Creation of a new costing variant to cost production orders

Hi all,
Currently the business is only able to cost a vehicleu2019s production order at the standard cost value which is determined at the start of the year.
During the year a number of the purchasing values will be updated with a new contract price, this increase will not be reflected in the standard cost until the end of the year.
The business would like a new costing variant which will cost an already created vehicle in SAP by its production order at the u201CCurrent Costu201D (current purchasing info record value).
It will need to be calculated in the following way:
u2022Purchased material - at purchase cost from info record (see below for applicable exchange rate).
u2022Manufactured material - child material to be at purchase cost (from info record). Routing cost (labour\overhead, etc) at current criteria.
u2022No allowance for CPI. [WHAT_ DOES_CPI_MEAN_?]
u2022Exchange rate: ideally, fields are provided to input exchange rate. If this is not possible then apply current monthu2019s exchange;
u2022FRAu2019s - current rate from the info record.
u2022Summary of total material cost by origin code with ability to drill down to line level.
u2022The output of the report will need to be similar to the layout of a production order but with only the current value displayed.
We have some problems to understand this request: we don't know the transaction which is used by the users to costificate a production order and what does it mean "CPI". We are not sure on the feasibility of the costing variant requested because it must consider both actual costs and standard costs.
It should costificate in this way:
(Actual Cost of Row Material * Bom's standard qty) + (Standard price * Standard production time (in the routings).
Could you help us?
Many thanks to all of you, best regards.
Alanis

You can create a new costing variant with a valuation variant that points to inforecords for material prices. Go to OKKN t-code and create the required configuration and start using the new costing variant to measure the current cost of making vehicles.

Changing the Assignment of production order in sales order in MTO scenario.

Hello all!
I have following problem:
After the MRP a production order was created for a sales order. Because of the production in another plant
the production order which was created automatically had to be technically completed and a new one
created.
If you want to check now the availability, the sales order finds nothing, because it's linked to the one,
which was technically completed. Now is the question how can I change the production order for this
sales order. (In the production order the correct sales order is connected!)
As I found out it's connected to the field AUFNR in the table VBEP. But how can I change this
field within a transaction and not in the database?!?

Error during goods receipt of Finished goods for production order

hi friends
pls help me iam struggle this issue and mentioned the issue .
when i do goods receipt for production order system getting error like
No price could be determined for material/batch FG/ plant ZTP
     Message no. CK 465
Diagnosis
     The system could not calculate a price for material/batch FG/ in plant
     ZTP for valuation view 0, because none of the valuation strategies in
     valuation variant 007 was successful.
System Response
     User-defined error management enables you to specify whether the message
     is an error message, a warning message or an information message.
     o   If you have defined the message as a warning message or an
         information message, the costing item will be entered in the cost
         estimate with a value of zero.
If you have defined the message as an error message, the cost
estimate contains an error or errors.
-   In the case of a material cost estimate, the system sets the
    status KF.
-   If it is a cost estimate without quantity structure, or base
    object cost estimate (that is, a unit cost estimate), the
    system cannot proceed with costing until you have corrected the
    errors.
If the system issues a termination message, the cost estimate cannot
be processed, and processing is terminated.
procedure
    o   Check the master data for material/batch FG/ in plant ZTP.
    o   If you have authorization for Customizing, check the valuation
        strategy for materials in valuation variant 007.
    Note
    If the message is a warning message or an information message, there is
    a danger that materials with errors will be ignored by the system.
    If, because of this, you issue a warning message and at the same time
    include materials with a zero value in cost estimates, you can make the
    following settings for these materials in the costing view of the
    material master:
1. Enter a very low price in the planned price 1, 2 or 3 fields
      manually, for instance 0.01 USD. These prices are used for costing
      purposes only; they are not read by other applications.
2. Enter the highest price unit possible, for example 10000.
      Note: If you enter a new price unit that is higher than the costing
      lot size, the system increases the costing lot size accordingly.
3. Change the valuation strategy, such as strategy 4, where you could
      enter the planned price field in which you entered the low price.
      The system now costs as follows:
      Using the valuation strategy, the system finds planned price 1, 2 or
      3. Due to the low price and high price unit, the system rounds the
      value to zero. However, the cost estimate still obtains status KA
      (free of errors), and no error message is issued.
      This procedure can be used for all materials that have caused error
      message CK465 to be issued.

dinesh

IDOC for Creation of Production order and also adding components

Hi ,
I have a requirement like I get the data from a 3rd party system and using that i have to create production orders and also should be able to add more materials in COMPONENTS part of that Production order. I was looking for a BAPI which can handle this process.
And also can any one help me by letting me know is there any Message type available for handling this process of Production order creation and Adding extyra components to it.
I have a message type LOIPRO (for Production Order) and associated function modle CLOI_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_LOIPRO for creation of master IDoc, but not sure can i handle the Components part in this.
Please do send replies ASAP, its very urgent.
Or else atleast suggest me the other ways of doing this .
Also send me any BDC program if anyone has already developed for this.
Thanks

Error on Production Orders Add-on when 2 or more users at the same time.

Hi.
Our add-on creates special production orders (SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderTypeEnum.bopotSpecial) with no problem when used by one user, but if there are two or more users everyone on his own SAPBO session it starts to throw different errors, we think it may be a concurrence problem due to several transactions.
Here a short brief of the code sample and the process:
(error handling and object members not included in the sample)
oDoc.ProductionOrderType = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderTypeEnum.bopotSpecial
If the oDoc.Add() is correct, We get the last production order created and release it:
Me.sKey = Me.Company.GetNewObjectKey
oDoc = Me.Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oProductionOrders)
oDoc.GetByKey(Me.sKey)
oDoc.ProductionOrderStatus = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderStatusEnum.boposReleased
oDoc.Update()
Then we go for an inventory Entry:
oDoc = Me.Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenEntry)
oDoc.DocDate = Date.Now
oDoc.Lines.BaseEntry = Me.sKey
oDoc.Add
And Finally to close the production order:
oDoc.ProductionOrderStatus = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderStatusEnum.boposClosed
oDoc.Update()
This works fine when only one user is using the add-on, but in the end there wil be at least eight users simultaneously working with this add-on
The test:
We have four users creating production orders with the add-on.
Two of them get the usual success messages and the created documents in SAPBO are all correct.
The other two users get diferrent errors messages during the process.
If they wait and try again to run the process it works fine.
Repeating the test get errors on different users depending on which one started the process first.
Our client needs to generate beetwen 900 and 1200 production orders per day, so they can't wait until the process is free for each user to work with it.
The common erros detected are:
Changing the status of the production order:
-5002 - The warehouse is not defined for the item.
-4002 - To generate this document,
first define the numbering series in the Administration module
-1029 - Field cannot be updated
Adding the production order and inventory entry:
-2038
-1116
-5002
Regards,
Omar Fonseca

The start transaction model didn't Fit well with all the process we are doing, but the idea of locking or holding the other users seems to work pretty fine, we are now using a flag to determine if someone is doing the process and put in hold the new ones.
