Finished material forecast

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please clarify my confusion. Our business wants to forecast to the finished material, saying how many will need to be produced in a given time frame. based on this the system will kick the reuqirements down to the level of raw material. Now in MM02 on the forecasting view there is foreacast values button, do we maintain here the forecast values of the finished material that we anticipate to build, Or is it in MD61 - planning table where we maintain the sales forecast. The whole objective of the sales forecast is to make the purchasing dept ready with teh materials that are procured externally to be able to meet the forecast of the finished material. Please help
Thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
It will be better to use MD61 rather than MM02 & Forecast button.
In both cases you can plan Raw Materials using the BOM and the MRP (PP)
If you want to populate the values Manually the MD61 is the transacction
If you want the system to Forecast the values use MM02 + Forecasting.
If you use MD61 that will generate the Planned Independant Requirements (PIR) that will generate the "Issue" of the Finished Goods. You will have to associate the Strategy Group (If you do not know about this start with strategy 40) in MRP 4 view.
Once you have your PIR available for the material MD04 you can run the MRP. Depending on the strategy and some other factors the PIR will disappear as soon as you start createing sales orders for the material.
Kind regards,
Federico

Serial Number Error in YMFBF confirmation for semi-finished material.

Dear Experts,
We are having repetitive manufacturing scenario,while confirming the Semi-finished material ( X) in YMFBF Screen, after POST with Correction and Saving the Confirmation. Error Applied....
"Only the 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1.
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
Please give some solution for this,
Thanks,

Finish material is not showing at the time of confirmation

Dear all ,
Finish material is not showing in the goods movement tab .So that movement type 101 is not possible at the prod ord confirmation .
Goods movement is accepting in mb31.
So plz suggest me

Abhay,
I think you are asking for Auto GR,whereby upon confirmation GR will happen automatically in the background
Required Setting
In the routing ,to the last operation assign PP03(Auto GR-Std SAP) as the control key instead of PP01
After that while doing confirmation for last operation in CO11N,there if you click the goods movement tab you will be able to see the finish material with movmnt type 101
Hope the above is clear
Reward points if useful n close the thread

Extrusion Sales price based on multiple parameters of the Finished Material

Hi Gurus,
Scenario: Extrusion Industry- Finished Material price to be calculated, based on the following parameters:
1. Basic Price of the Finished Material
2. Alloy Market Price
3. Temper Price
4. Type of Finish based Price
5. Length ordered based price
A. Customer wants the Sale Price of the Finished Material to be sum of 12345.
B. Customer wants to Change the Basic price for few Customers.
C. Customer wants to Change the Sale Price of the Finished Material based on the Market fluctuations with respect to the Alloy used in the production of the Finished Material.
How to address, this type of Scenario ? Those who have come across similar scenarios in Extrusion Industry can share their experiences ?
Do we need to go with Variant Pricing ? If so, do we need to go with KMAT or FERT ?
Thanks & Regards
Sreekanth

hi,
1. Basic Price of the Finished Material
   Kondition xxx1 Access : 1. Kunnr / Matnr   ex      ( B )
                                             2. Matnr
2. Alloy Market Price
    Kondition xxx2    Access : alloy - price
                                with formula over the weight of the Material
3. Temper Price
    Kondition xxx3
4. Type of Finish based Price
    Kondition xxx4
5. Length ordered based price
    Kondition xxx5    with Formula over the length
6. Summ of 1 - 5
7. xxx6 Manual Price   with exclusion of xxx1 to xxx5      for C - manual Price
or
   xxx7 Rabatof sum 6   for the scenario c -- for scenario c, there is to less information, what there should be done.
so far, i dont see a reason for variant pricing.

Auto allocation or finished material against sales order for MTO

Dear All
By which T-code can we allocate the finish item in sales order from stock in unrestricted use.
We follow MTO strategy for our finish material
What is the best practise for such scenario.
Thanks

Hi Vikram,
When you are fallowing MTO process there is no need of seperate transaction to allocate the finished products to the sales order.
In MTO scenerio automatically the stock will be assigned to that perticuler sales order we you do goods reciept after production.
I hope it will clear for you,

Murali.

What is the use of valuation class in Finished Material Master?

Dear Expert
What is the use of valuation class in Finished Material Master?
Thanks of Advance

hi,
this is to inform you that,
generally 7920 - will be the valuation class for the finished goods.
Allows the stock values of materials of the same material type to be posted to different G/L accounts & vice versa.
this is an integration field which identifies the G/L accounts & goods movement types.

Change of component in Finished Material

Hi,
My client is a machine industry having both MTS and MTO scenarios.
For example letu2019s consider a material u201CAu201D which is manufactured with 12345 components and u201CAu201D is a finished material. My customer directly sells this to customer which will be MTS scenario.
But sometimes customer will ask the material u201CAu201D with modifications like he needs 12356 i.e. in place of u201C4u201D component he needs u201C6u201D.
So please suggest a better process to map the same in SAP SD

Hi,
In this case also you can follow the same procedure,sales order will be created by the customer requirement and then moved to the production,here if the material all ready produced then they will change the parts as per the order requirement,if not they will produce as per the requirement.
With my knowledge i am giving you the suggestion,please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

Goods issue against Serialized finished material

Dear Friends,
In our scenario we issue some extra components(261) against finished material - which is a serial number managed material. which we called as a forcefull consumption. For this purpose we create production order for finished material and issue components against this prod order.
Now the issue is, if I create production order for 10 finished material, and if I issue components through MB1A - 261 Mvt against prod order, system does not ask me serial number of finished mat and serial number option in "Goto" menu is greyout.
1) How to ensure that for which serial number finished mat the components are issued.
2) How to activate this serial number option in menu and make it mandatory.
3) Is there any other way out.
Waiting for your reply
Thanks in advance
Thanks & Regards,
Dhananjay

Hi,
Remember in SAP in general Production or Process order is the cost carrying Object.
So any 261 or 101 material postings done are posted to the Order,
When the order is settled , will be settled to a Material or a Cost centre.
you are looking for a Serial no for a Production order header material, the system will prompt only if the header material movement is done Like GR or Gi. Not when the compoenent are moved.( non serial compoenents)

Serial number status of semi finished material.

Hi Gurus,
I have a serialized finished product.
I have a serialized semi finished material as a component of that finished product.
After issuing the semifinished to the production order of the finished product, the serial number status of the semifinished item becomes AVL.
I dont want the semifinished serial number to be reused once it is issued to a production order and the finished material from that production order is delivered .
Help me in acheiving this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gowrisankar.p

Hi Gowri Shankar,
You should maintain a User Status Profile for the Serial Number Profile, (Through Equipment Category).
Once the Semi finished Material with a particular Serial Number is Issued for a production order. The status should change to Say " Used". Then this Serial Number cannot be assigned again to a new Semifinished Goods.
User Status profile should be defined in transaction BS02.
Thanks And Regards,
Balasubramanian.

Can a finished material be a component

Hi gurus,
Can a finished material be a component in BOM of some other material.
Regards
Kaisar

Hi,
In process industry, there are scenarios where FERT material from one plant is being used as a component of the other FERT material.
For eg.
Scenario is there is one compay manufacturing Vitamin A, plants located in this org are A1, A2.
Plant A1: Fert is Hydroxenine
Plant A2: Fert is Vitamin A
For plant A1, FERT is Hydroxeine, but this same material is
used as a component in plant A2.
This is the actual process scenario used in process industry, as mentined by shiva setting for this is maintained in SAP. Thanks Shiva for this update.

Material Forecast upload

Hi all,
We are trying to upload material forecast weekly data by TCODE MM02. Our input file has 4 fields as below:
Plant, Material,     Weekly period, forecast value
1101, 20222222, 2011/34,           120
1101, 30222222, 2011/35,           110
1101, 40222222, 2011/35,           130 and so on.
To create a upload program, we did the Recording and manually entered forcasting data in u201CConsumption valsu201D which will automatically copy this data in u201CForecast valuesu201D by the system. But as in TCODE MM02, this weekly period is already populated and display only field so Recording is not capturing this field.
for example: Period is 2011/34 (Week 34 of year 2011). This 2011/34 is display only and we want to enter forecast value "120" for this week.
As recording is not capturing weekly period so how we can upload it?
Or Is there anyother way to upload material forecast weekly data? (FM, BAPI etc)
Please help!

hi , you can use the following bapi for your requirement,
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
* Call the BAPI
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
EXPORTING
    HEADDATA                   = HEADDATA
    CLIENTDATA                 = CLIDAOUT
    CLIENTDATAX                = CLIDAOUTX
IMPORTING
    RETURN                     = RETURN
TABLES
    RETURNMESSAGES             = RETURNMES.

Couple of cheks for you :
1.What is the requirement Type you have choosen the User Paramters in MD61 screen ? It should VSF , version 00 and correct Planning Period , Plant Code .I would suggest you to check the same
2.Which txn are u trying to run the MRP ( MD01 with NETCH , Create PR -2, MRP List : 3 , Schedule Line : 1 , Scvhedluing -1 , Mark Display material before save )
3.Check the Planning File Entry of all those material in MDRE/MDAB/MD21
4.Check the Material Master Paramters : MRP Type -PD , Procumenet Type : F , Planning Startgey : 40 /10
5.Basically , based on Planning Stategy in MRP3 view , you can analysise the Requirement Type : 40 /VSF ( Check in Define Planning Strategy -SPRO-Detailk screen )
One question : Are you executing Total Forcast in MP38 or Indiviaully n then loading into MD61 through MD70 ? Please confirm or just like you are entering Manula Forecast Qty in MD61 table matererial by material ?

REM profile for finished material and its raw material

Dear Experts
My question is ,for a repetitive manufacturing scenario
1) We are maintaining REM profile finished material . Is it necessary to maintain REM profile for its raw materials ?
2)For raw materials do we need to create the seperate REM profile which is having seperate stock determination rule ?
Regards ,
Vishwas.K

Dear Vishwas,
1.REM profile assignment is required only for the materials for which production confirmation will be made through T code MFBF or
MF42N.
2.For stock determination rule check in control data 2 in the REM profile itself. This setting is linked to the REM profile and further to
the goods movements posting for the raw materials.(check this setting in T code OSP2).
