Factory calender importance in Sales Organisation.

Hi Experts,
Hope you all doing Gr8t.
Please let me know the importance of specifying Factory calender while defining the Sales Orgination.
Thanks & Regards,
Smithun.

Hi
Factory calendar specify the work days at the customer's site .These calendars are used to determine when a delivery must take place in order for it to reach the customer's site on a work day when it can be received. We also use the factory calendar in consolidated invoicing. That is, if we specify that only one day a week is a working day for our customer ,the billing documents are only to be created for that one day each week, causing delivery documents to be consolidated into one billing document.
You maintain the factory calendar in IMG in T code SCAL and assign the factory calendar with plant and also sales org in Img while defining the plant in the Enterprise structure .If you donu2019t maintain it and make the standard order you will get an error-"Factory calendar missing or error in factory calendar".
Factory Calendar decides the holidays for the plant.
Sales order flow to production order and based on the factory calendar material availability will be confirmed to the customer.
Production planning/Scheduling will happen based on Factory Calendar

Days since Sales Order creation excluding holidays in factory calender

Hello,
Can anyone pls tell me the logic to retrieve the Days since Sales Order creation excluding the holidays in Swedish factory calender.
Current logic which we have thought of is
(The first succesful output - Order creation date)
But the result should exclude the Swedish Factory calender holidays (our client is from Sweden)
Now we need to establish the logic of fitting the factory calender into this whole issue. As we have to provide the logic to our ABAP er .
Waiting to hear from u all.......

Your message is somewhat unclear to me.
When creating a sales order, a "Required Delivery Date" is needed.
This date is checked against the unloading calendar of the customer. If the system finds the requested delivery date = a non-working day of the customer calendar, it issues a warning (No goods accepted on DD.MM.YYYY. The next possible date is: DD.MM.YYYY (Message no. V1019). There does not seem to be any possibility of changing this warning to an error in the standard system; only possibility would be to modify the standard code.
If I have misterpreted your thread, then apologies, and feel free to elaborate on the issue some more.

Dear
Based on your business requirement , you should have the following set up :
1.One Factory Calender with Work Days Monday-to-Friday Let say FC1 .This will be used on all the organisational level starting from Materials Planning to Sales .But will not be assinge to Capacity Requirement Planning Purpose or Any Production Activity in Work Centre .
2.You should have one more Factory Calander with work Days Monday to Monday ( 7 days week ) with some special rule like Plan Shutdown Days , Breakdown Maintainnece etc and this should be assinged to all the work centres -CR02-Capacity Tab -Capacity Header -Factory Calader ID -Let say it is FC2.
You need to ceate Calander in OP03/SCAL .It does nto have any transport and it will be a Cleinet level changes which requires proper approval .Please rememeber , you need to assing only FC1 to Plant assingement in OP03 where as FC2 will be asisnged only in Work Centre level .
Steps : Goto -OP03
1.Identify all those Public Holidays frist with Fixed or moveable as per business requirement
2.Goto Holiday Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Add all those holidays as per Public holidays as applicable in your business with proper valididty and finally SAVE
3.Goto Factory Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Asisng Hioliday Calander . In case of FC2-Work centre Calander , here you can hit the Special Rules .Include Special Activity like Plan Shut down of factory with Validity etc and SAVE .
4.Come back to OP03 main screen -Assing the factory Calender in plant .
5.Goto -CR02-Capacity -Capacity Header -Available Capacity Header -Factory Calander-Assing FC2
I do not think you should have planning calander seperately if you do not have any specific reason .
Hope it helps

How to update Factory calender in CRM from ECC?

Hi All,
Factory calenders are downloaded to CRM from ECC, using adapter object DNL_CUST_CAL_C in Initial load (R3AS). My doubt is, whenever a new holiday is added to Factory calender in ECC, how the particular added holiday will be downloaded to update the same in CRM system?
Please help me.
Regards,
Maddy

Hello Maddy,
In my system download object DNL_CUST_CAL_C is for the download from the CRM (online) database to the old consolidated database (CDB, for the offline Mobile Sales scenario). You could see this in transaction R3AC3.
For your scenario I don't know how to download. This thread here speaks of a manual adjustment in transaction SCAL.

Importance of Sales Area Data for BP

Please give me the various reasons for having or maintaining Sales Area for a Business Partner:
_Explanation:_ What is the importance of maintaining Sales Area Data for BP.Please list out several points.
As we know Sales Area is composed of : Sales Organisation, Distribution channel, & Division.
Thanks & Regards,

These are off the top of my head. I can reply a bit later to add some more.
1) The pricing procedure (entered in the Billing Tab) which affects the LEAD, OPPT, AG, QCTR, and TA documents. Without the pricing of the product, the transactions cannot be executed and the total product value cannot be determined. Without a total dollar value, a TA doesn't make sense.
2) The S.O defines the legal terms for the product and if the BP wants to return the product they ordered, they have that information.

Problem in Factory Calender

Hi,
When creating the sales order the system shows the messege" Date 05.02.2009 occurs after the end of factory calendar IN from plant X".
So when i tried to change the validity period for factory calender IN to 2009, then the system again showing the messege "Please enter validity area between years 2007 - 2007"-The validity period specified for the factory calendar exceeds that of the selected public holiday calendar.
So how can i change the Year in Factory Calender.
Regards
JYOTI

Hi,
under SAP Netweaver - General Setting - Maintain Calendar check which holday calendar is assigned to your factory calendar IN. In the secons step change the validity for your holiday calendar.

Assignment of plant to sales organisation and distribution channel

Hi,
What is the use of assignment of plant to sales organisation and distribution channel.
thanks
Kuntla

Hi Kuntla,
Please don't get offended. Your explanation is purely irrelevant. If I don't want to record from which plant the material has been sent and hence if I don't make the delivering plant assignment - what will be result. Can I create the sales order and make delivery. Is it possible. This is one of the important assignments in SD configuration. I don't find fault in posting your reply. It is only for your response to others' replies to the thread. You can do this to their personal mail ids. Otherwise this will become a practice in this forum. Please take this in a positive angle.
Thanks,
Ravi

Define Sales organisation

Hi gurus,
On which basis we will define the sales organisations?
for eg: few clients having only one sales.org and few are having 3,4 s.org, why?
Cheers,
Sumith

hi,
it is based on client business process.
the goods are sent to costumer on the basis of retail,whole sale or import export..etc
so these are config with different sales area.
only one sales org or sales area is maintains when the business process is limited
ALES ORGANISATION: A sales organisation is an organisational unit that sells and distributes products/services, negotiates terms of sale and is responsible for carrying out day to day business transactions.
One or more sales organisation is assigned to a company code but the number of sales.org should be kept to a minimum i.e. one per company code.
Every sales organisation carries its own (customer and material) master data and NO two sales organisations can share a single master data.

Reason for more than one sales organisation

Hi,
What can be the different reasons to suggest the client for more than one sales organisation.Please reply ASAP.
Regards
Prabudh

hi,
Sales orgainsation controls the entire business process.
Example : If u have Domestic factory sale , Domestic depot sale , Export , Deemed export , intercompany sale , stock transfer ...etc . This can be controled through maintaining different Distribution channels .
And , the same way ,based on material group you can differ division to have more control.
Disadvantage : Having more sales organisations will lead to have more master data .

Factory Calender taking wrongly

Dear Experts,
                     We have extended the factory calender which are assigned to the plants. But after New year the system is thrwing error like " Date lies after factory Calender 01", even though we assigned another factory calender and holi day calender..? This is happening to particulary one plant in one server. All other servers are OK .Then We extended the 01 calender in the development then it is OK. I want to know why system is considering 01 calender instead of assigned calender???
Regards,
Praveen_sap

Dear Experts,
                    Thanks fopr your reply..!
                    The Only one calender is defined and found one Definition only. As SAid by one of our expert there be BUFFER problem as SAP also suggested to refresh the FACTORY CALENDER as it is ending with 2010 year.
                    My Problem got solved as We updated/extended the 01 calender eventhough it is not attached to any plant.
                    My question is Why Particular Plant only behing like this ? If any BUFFER problem is there it will be applicable to all the Plants in that Server. I am getting this error when creating Sales Order (VA01).
                    For this I raised a request Note to SAP.My problem got solved Can I open this question as unanswered or Can I close it as I got solution ? Please Let me know Sir.

Pravs.
