Factory calendar change in APO

Hi All
There has been a change in Factory calendar (holiday changes) in R/3
How do I make the changes for calendar in APO ? Never done this. step-by-step procedure would help.
Looks like there is a 'holiday calender' assigned to 'factory calendar' and I have the factory-shut down dates.
Thanks
Pooja

Pooja,
You can transfer Factory Calendars from R/3 to SCM. Here are the steps:
in SCM
Transaction RSA1
Select Source systems>SAP>your R/3 client.
Right click on the client>Select Transfer Global Settings.
Select Factory Calendars
Select Rebuild tables
Unfortunately, you may not update only a single calendar, you must update all calendars in SCM.
You can set this program up as a batch job using RSIMPCUST. Some companies run this regularly, depending on how often the calendars change in R/3 and how the changes will impact SCM.
If you have Timestreams that rely on your factory calendars, you will have to update these manually using /SAPAPO/CALENDAR transaction

Factory Calendar Changes

I would like to make changes to the factory calendar automatically request a transport.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
In transaction SCC4 Automatic recording of changes is set.
In IMG Activity, object SCAL is set to 2 Automatic transport
When changes to factory calendars are made, it only warns that customizing changes are not automatically recorded.

hi
can start directly the transaction SCAL.
Perhaps this link might helps you to understand the concept:

Transport of factory calendar changes

Hello Experts!
I have a question, why changes to the factory calander needs to be transported if the initial screens on the transaction says that any change will affect all clients.
Thanks,
Alejandro Espinola

Dear Alejandro Espinola,
Whatever changes happen in production server it should be transport from Development & Quality.
Because if any other develpement going on development server that time all criteria should be meet as per production server. Other wise whaterver delopment will be failed when transport in production server.
And developer alway making the coding on development server. IF anything in wrong in developement server will be reflated in production after transport.
Think as like Big Corporate.

2. And the below code is working from 1996 but my cleints wants it to work for years before 1996 as well.
I also tried to change the Start date in SCAL for factory calendar but it says enter values between 1995 to 2020.
I am new to ABAP. Please help me how i can achieve these for below code.

Hi Zabina,
Try this function module 'DURATION_DETERMINE'.
Give the factory calendar and unit as DAY

Changes to Factory Calendar Not reflected in work schedule

I have updated the exsisting factory calendar in PRD .
Yet the changes do not seem to have taken effect. I have tried to regernerate the work schedule. However I'am not sure I have done that properly.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi.. you cant expect any change in the Factory calender affecting work schedules. If you want the work schedules to be updated with the holidays you need to be updating the holiday calender.
Factory calender is mainly for Plant Schedules, Bank transfers in finance , etc

Impact of Changing the Factory Calendar

Hi,
I want to know how factory calendar settings impact various things in production planning,sales and distribution,FICO and other modules.
If buisness needs to change the factory calendar at the middle of the year due to some reasons,how it will impact and what are all the necessary care to be taken to overcome that impact.
If anybody having the document regarding the factory calendar,please share the link.
Please guide me regarding this
with regards
Girish

Hi Girish,
If you take from PP point of view we assigned factory calender to work center if we changed it, the it will effect on scheduling of order, capacity planning. I dont think u will find any problem , if u change it then you need to run MRP again.
You have to assign factory calendar to PLANT
Go to SPRO>ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE->DEFINITION> LOG GENERAL>DEFINE COPY,DELETE AND CHECK PLANT>DEFINE PLANT

SNP Planned order not following resource bucket capacity/factory calendar

Hi gurus,
SCM 5.0
I am running SNP heuristics for a product and expecting planned orders for it. It has corresponding production data structure and multimixed resource. The resource has an assignd factory calendar and SNP bucket capacity. The bucket capactiy availablity dates of the resouce is consistent with the factory calendar workdays/holidays. Using simple lot for lot strategy, I am expecting heuristics to schedule the planned orders on the dates of the demand in compliance with teh SNP bucket capacity availability of the resource. APO does not schedule on holidays consistent with bucket capactiy. This is true until...
We have a public holiday in factory calendar that needs to become a workday. To remedy this, we put a special rule for the factory calendar and explicitly made that holiday into a workday. The changes were synchronized with APO, and this is also reflected in the bucket capacity of the resourc: former holiday now has bucket capacity after the calendar change. However, when running heuristics, it still does not create SNP planned order on that former holiday that has been changed into workday. Even if it is a public holiday, there is already a special rule for the factory calendar and the resource bucket capacity reflects this correctly. But SNP heuristics seems not to follow this change.
Any ideas on this? looks like a bug.

Hi Edgar,
Yes, when your resource reflects the addional capacity of the holiday turned working day, then it is expected to be considered for the SNP planned order.
Instead of SNP heuristics, you may try to check interactively in SNP planning book, if manual order creation in the bucket works out.
Since this is a mutlimix resource , it can also be checked if in PPDS planned order can be created on the day.
The above checking may not solve your problem , but will get to know if at least manully the bucket is being considered or not.
regards
Datta

Difference between calendar used in capacity profile & factory calendar?

Hello experts
I am trying to check available capacities in planning book & found some ambiguities.
In /SAPAPO/RES01, factory calendar maintained in the resource is say Z1, but in the same page, the capacity profile tab uses a different calendar.Say in Z1, if X/X/XXXX is a working day, the one present inside capacity profile considers it as a holiday & the available capacity doesn't reflect in planning book.
In ECC, the plant where this work center is defined follows calendar Z1.
So my doubt is which calendar the capacity profile follows & how to ensure that it follows the same factory calendar Z1?
Regards
Soum

Hello Soumyajit,
few things you can check,
Plant and work center calender assignment should be same, Plant has precedent over WC
Check if in CFC9 you have correct change transfer mode set for resource.
Once calender updated in ECC, use program RSIMPCUST to rebuild the tables for factory calendars in APO and then run /SAPAPO/CRES_CREATE_LC_RES to extend the resource in LC
also run /SAPAPO/TIMESTREAM_UPDATE for any time stream update.
This will update capacity profile as well resource capacity in planning book/ planning board.
Hope this info will help you,
Thanks,
Rajiv

MC44: material usage value affected by factory calendar

Hi Gurus,
I've got the following problem: on my 4.6c R3 production instance factory calendar had been setup as 7 working days a week but recently the need was to change it to 5 working days a week due to the introduction of route calculation to determine correct dates for the sales orders.
We changed the factory calendar (which did deliver the correct result for the sales orders) only to discover that the "Usage" value determined for the materials by MC44 got totally wrong (usage with the 5 working days calendar was approximately 30 to 50% LESS than with the 7 days working calendar !!)
As soon as we did restore factory calendar back to 7 working days a week MC44 was again fine (obviously sales orders date got wrong...).
My impression is that everything is based on the way data from table MVER is determined depending on the factory calendar (which is apparently driven by function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORY_DATE).
I guess I could change from customizing the calendar for the shipping point: in that case my expectation is that sales orders date should be fine as well as results from MC44 but I'm not totally sure about that.
Any idea ? Do you know which is the way table MVER is populated based on the calendar settings ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Enrico

Hi Jurgen,
from the logical point of view sounds reasonable but....
1) even if I didn't fully debug the program (otherwise I guess I would know the answer ) looks like MVER is the only one considered in terms of usage
2) even if you forget point 1 (I could obviously be wrong) you're missing one information that I didn't mention: our usage (or consumption if you prefer) is 98% done from Monday to Friday; sometimes we do something on Saturday but this is kind of an exception.
Based on the above, despite the factory calendar is setup on 7 working days a week, our material usage is basically done on 5 working days a week. Described this way you'll immediately understand that, even if the program reads the data based on the number of working days, changing the calendar from 7 to 5 should cause a decrease of only 2-3%, in our case changing the factory calendar from 7 to 5 working days is causing a decrease of 30% to 50%.
I believe the program is reading the table in a different way based on the factory calendar, I'll try to give you an example:
      Day     Usage
01   Mon       10
02   Tue        20
03   Wed      30
04   Thu        40
05   Fri          50     ---> total week 1 far 150
06   Sat         2
07   Sun        0      -
> total of the weekend 2
08   Mon       100
09   Tue        200
10   Wed        300
11   Thu       400
12   Fri        500     -
> total week 2 1500
13   Sat        6
14   Sun       0        -
> total of the weekend 6
For the 2 weeks, factory calendar 7 working days a week, total usage would be 1658.
In your case, switching to 5 working days a week, it should deliver usage only for Monday to Friday, which is 1658 - (2+6)=1650    (i.e. difference is peanuts)
As I said, I couldn't get to the end of the debug, but my impression was that, switching to 5 working days a week (based on the above example) the program would read 10 "days" so from Monday 01 to Wednesday 10, in that case the total would be 1658 - (4005006) = 752 (now difference is huge...).
So...... maybe main question could be: which is the way MVER is populated ?
Best regards,
Enrico

Function module SD_SCHEDULING: delivery date calculation factory calendar

Hi,
When I create or change a sales order, system calculates the delivery time and date (ETDAT) using transit duration and factory calendar. Currently factory calendar says that transportation leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Unfortunately, function module SD_SCHEDULING calculates the delivery date using factory calendar dates, i.e. <b>NOT</b> using working dates.
Function module reads the factory calendar from table TVRO (Routes) and field SPFBK (Factory calendar key) in subroutine GET_CUSTOMIZING, and saves factory calendar id in CS_SCHEDDU-TRANSIT_FC. The calculation itself is done later in function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE.
For example, if transit duration is 3 working days, function module calculates the delivery date using Monday (first day), Wednesday (second day) and Friday (third day). Thus, the result is Friday, which is wrong. Result should be of course Wednesday (Monday first day, Tuesday second day and Wednesday third day).
I'd like to use working days instead of calendar days. I am planning to recalculate the delivery date in some user exit, but before I start coding, I'd like to hear your opinion: <i>Is it possible to use working days instead of calendar days when calculating delivery date?</i> (I believe it must be, since my case is very normal). If it is, I assume that this can be achieved with IMG, but how and where?
I am using SAP R/3 Enterprise.

Date is outside the factory calendar range

I am trying to run a BW query. When I click on the calnedar icon field. It gives this error.
Error: Date is outside the factory calendar range
Msg No. FK884
What could be the problem in the query? Has anybody had the similar problem before? I tried to search in SAP notes and could not find anything close to this.
I will Appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
Abhi

Hi Abhijit,
We got the same error message in 2010.
1) Check in transaction SCAL that the Factory Calendar ID 01 (i.e. German) is valid to 2009. This explains the error message.
2) Found SAP Note 1136142 about the configuration of default factory calendar ID of F4 Help and hierarchy for Time-characteristics in BI 7.0.
SAP Note Solution:
The key figure attribute obtains its value from the default work calendar as it is maintained in transaction RSRHIERARCHYVIRT (General Settings -> Default Factory Cal. ID).
This setting is valid across the entire system and does not permit any variable selection of the factory calendar for each query.
Furthermore, a value for 0NUMWDAY is calculated only for the period in which the default factory calendar is valid.
3) Check in transaction SCAL that the Factory Calendar ID of our location is valid to 2050.
The problem is solved after changed the Default Factory Cal. ID from 01 to the ID of our location in transaction RSRHIERARCHYVIRT.

Ricky
