Firming of order proposals

Hi,
I learnt from the books that the order proposals falling within the PTF are firmed and no automatic changes are done during the planning run. There are 4 firming types. Can you explain from the end user point of view what is firming and how do we do manual firming?
Sridharan

Hi,
Firming Planned Orders and Components 
Planned orders created automatically by the planning run are continually adapted to suit changed requirements situations. If you want to prevent the planned orders from these automatic changes, you can firm them. Firmed planned orders are no longer changed by the planning run, that is, the order quantities and order dates are not changed. You can only change firmed planned orders manually.
Firming Planned Orders
When manually creating or changing a planned order, the system automatically proposes the firming indicator. If you do not want to firm the planned order, you can cancel this indicator.
If the planned order has been firmed, the system will no longer make any automatic changes to either quantities or dates in the planned order at material level. However, the components of the planned order material may be adapted if the bill of material has changed.
Firming Components
Any manual changes which you make to the date or the quantity in the planned order are automatically passed on to the components by the system. If you want to ensure that no further automatic changes can be made to the components of the planned order material, you can set the firming indicator for components when processing the planned order. If the firming indicator is set for the components, the planning run will not re-explode the BOM.
The firming indicator is automatically proposed by the system when you manually change or create material components in the processing function of planned orders. The indicator for firming the components can only be set if the planned order is also firmed.
You can also firm individual components to prevent automatic changes to quantities and dates. You set the firming indicator for individual components in the screen for processing components.
Firming Type 
The firming type determines how order proposals are to be firmed and scheduled within the planning time fence during the planning run.
The following firming types exist:
Firming type 0:
u2022     Order proposals are not firmed automatically. With this firming type, no firming is carried out, instead, the materials are only provided with the indicator for MPS. Thus, they can be planned in the special planning run for MPS.
Firming type 1:
u2022     Order proposals that move into the planning time fence are firmed automatically as soon as their date lies at least one day before the end date of the planning time fence. The date of new order proposals that are created in the planning time fence is rescheduled out to the end of the planning time fence. Therefore, these new order proposals are not firmed.
Firming type 2:
u2022     Order proposals that move into the planned time fence are firmed automatically so soon as their date lies at least one day before the end date of the planning time fence. Within the planning time fence no order proposals are created by the system.
Firming type 3:
u2022     Order proposals that move into the planning time fence are not firmed automatically. The date of new order proposals, created within the planning time fence is rescheduled out to the end of the planning time fence.
Firming type 4:
u2022     Within the planning time fence, no order proposals are created automatically by the system, that is, the system does not solve the shortage.
Hope it will be Helpful.
Regards,
Vijay.

  • Scheduling firmed planned order

    Hi all,
    I have follwoing situation:
    In the MF50-planning table firmed (as customized in REM-profile with parameter "Allways Firm")
    planned orders are created manually also in the past/backlogs.
    The MRP/program RMMRP000 is updating the production dates of these FIRMED orders to the actual date/today. Because of this the planned order is shown on the actual date in the MF50 instead of the original planned production date in the past..
    Usually the MRP doesn't consider firmed orders regarding their quantities and basic-/production-dates. In our case the MRP is changing production dates what is not expected.
    Do you have ideas about this ?!
    Thanks,
    markus

    Hi,
    MRP-type is customized with firming-type '2-Automatic firming and order proposals rescheduled out'.
    Firming indicator has not been changed after creating the planned order in the MF50/Planning table; this has been already checked in MD04/MD13.
    Further ideas ??

  • Delete firmed planned order, pr or schedule lines

    Hi All,
    Do any user exit, functional module , sap notes is there to delete the firmed planned order, PR, Scheduling line
    while run the MRP.
    Thanks

    Roll forward period
    To automatically update the master plan, you can set the system so that firmed planned orders that were scheduled before the roll forward period can be deleted during the planning run. With this function, all planned orders, for which there are no longer any requirements, are deleted.
    Note on roll forward period
    In step "check MRP types", you can maintain the indicator "Delete out-of -date planned orders" which is used to set the system so that firmed order proposals, that lie beforethe roll forward period, are deleted in in the planning run. At the same time, new planned orders are created that are adjused to the current situation. (Or depending on the fixing type the old order proposals are displaced to the end of the planning time fence.)
    Hope this suits your requirement.

  • Deletion of firmed Planned orders

    Hi,
    I want to delete the firmed planned orders & Purchase Requisitions for Multiple plants,(Not using MRP Run) so can any one advise me if there is any SAP standard transaction or Program available.
    I have tried using MD19, but here we can pick firmed Planned orders only w.r.t Material or MRP contriller, we can not select Planned orders of whole plant (or) for Multiple plants.
    Please let me know if required any further information.
    regards,
    PR

    Hi,
    Not sure if CO41 can meet this need. If you select the lines & click on delete it is just removed from the list & not from the database. However if there is any new functionality added to CO41 for deletion would be glad to know.
    However for mass deletion of planned orders you can do this via a Z program using Bapi - BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_DELETE & for Purchase Requisitions use BAPI_REQUISITION_DELETE along with BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT. Provide your specifications to your abaper & it should be possible.

  • Make to Order- Avoid creating Firmed Planned Orders

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using strategy 50 for one of my materials and when i create sales order agains that material a firmed planned order is created automatically. As this is firmed planned order in case i stock in material for that sales order and fullfill its requirement and run MD50 MRP against sales order. The planned order still exists as it is firmed where as i need it to be deleted after running MD50, because required quantity has been fullfilled using transfer posting from another stock. Please suggest how can i achieve it. Is there any configuration available to create unfirmed planned orders instead of firmed planned orders against sales orders? as unfirmed planned orders get deleted after executing MD50 in such a scenario.
    Best Regards,
    Shah

    Dear,
    What is your MRP type for these material? Use PD and check
    Check the planning time fence field for those materials. If the requirements are within the planning time fence, then it will create firmed planned orders.
    Go to OPP1Master Data- > Check MRP Types--- here, on "Control parameters" tab you can find the desired field called "Firming type". Make it bank then system will not create the Firmed planned order.

  • After firming planned order, new planned order is generating in MRP run

    Hi Experts,
    I am using SAP AFS. Planning strategy is 21- MTO with Project settlement. MRP type is PD. Lte size is EX. Procurement type is X.
    We are using the production versions. Individual / collective reqmts is 1. Planning time fence is not maintained.
    In sap AFS T.Code for MRP run is /n/afs/md02. After receiving the Sales order, MD04 screen gets updated accordingly and I am running the MRP.Planned orders are generated accordingly. I am firming the planned order manually through MD04. The satr mark is also appearing.
    My problem starts now. If I am running  the MRP again for the same requirements another planned order of the same qty. is getting generated. That means after the second MRP run, I am having two planned orders (one firmed plnd order) and second is the new planned order. My requirement is that MRP should not generate any new Plnd. order / PR's if there is no new Sales order.
    The parameters for MRP run are "1" for "Create PR's", '1" for "Plng Mode" and '"1" for "scheduling ".
    I have tried in all the possible ways, but of no use. Still new plnd order is generated after firming the 1st plnd. order in MRP run.

    Thanks all for your feedback..
    @ Vishal
    1. Yes, Both Old firmed planned order and newly generated planned order have the same grid value
    2. For both the planned orders :
    Special Stock is E u2013 Orders on hand,
    Consumption is V,
    Sales order is the same (As we are using MTO , Strategy 21) and same WBS element.
    3. First planned order is not in the assigned tab of MD04. This means that has been allocated to some object. u2013 I didu2019nt got this point. Can u please elaborate?
    @ Nikhil
    1. Quantity of sales order is not reducing after firming the sales order
    2. Account assignment category for both the planned orders is u201CZu201D - Indiv.cust./project
    I have made some more observations and found the following differences between the two planned orders
    From  MD04 , keep the cursor on corresponding planned order
    & click on upward arrow ( available on bottom side of the report).
    It will show what will be the originating requirements i e. for which requirements this planned order generated.

    2.when manually change a PR and save it, we call it firmed PR, right?
    3.are these the only 2 ways to firm PR? if not, what else?
    4. how to firm planned order?
    5. in MRP, the on-order stock is defined as "composed of fixed and firm receipt elements (PO, firm planned orders, firm purchase requisitions), while in MD04, we always see all the PR created by MRP running, are these newly created PR firmed automatically?

  • What are the ways to Copy Firm Planned Order from one ASCP Plan to another?

    We run two EDD Plans with very similar options, but with different plan horizons.
    To have the suggestions synchronized, we need to copy the "Firm Planned Orders" from one plan to another.
    We tried inserting the records in MSC_ST_SUPPLIES with Order type 5 and firm planned type 1 with appropriate plan id, but Planning ODS Load is not considering those inserted records.
    We don't want to insert directly into MSC_SUPPLIES.
    Any inputs is appreciated.
    Thanks

    You can also call a custom DTSX package in SSIS via the datamanager.
    there are at least 5 ways of transfering data in BPC between apps.
    1. Through the front end (excel etc) via evdre/evsnds
    2. Through Script logic using *Dest App
    3. Using BPC's standard export dtsx package via DM
    4. Using SSIS using BPC's custom SSIS tasks
    5. Through Script logic using stored procs.
    i am sure people will come up with more.
    remember if you use ssis and move data into any table but the wb, you need to process the cube afterwards.

  • SAP F&R - Order Proposals not getting generated

    Hi Experts,
    I am currently on SCM 5.0 system. For a location-product on uploading the consumption data, the forecast gets generated but no Order Proposals are getting generated at all. When I look at the Source of Supply, the delivery dates for the location-product are appropriately displayed.
    The scenario is basically Vendor -> DC -> Store i.e. V111 -> R601 -> R611 for the product FR11. The time series of supplying location is displayed for FR11-R611 in CADE while FR11-R601 is not displayed. I suppose, this may be, why the OPs are not getting generated. How do we generate time series for FR11-R601 i.e. for V111 (vendor) ?
    Also, When i try to run a location status check on R611, /FRE/FU_CL_FRP_SAFOUT_CRIT comes out with a fatal error with the remaining others in an INITIAL state. How do we resolve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    Prashant

    Hi,
    I was able to solve both the issues with a change in the Forecasting Frequency profiles where the reference day for start week was on "FRP Location Activation Date". I changed it to Calendar date and checked the forecast and it worked with the Order proposals also generating. Also, the location status check out for the mentioned location was in "OK" state.
    Also, a second methodology applied to overcome the problem was to go to SAP Menu -> F&R Processor -> Administration, from there go to the location tab where the locations had a deactivation date of 31.12.2009. I extended the date and then there was no need to change the forecasting frequency profiles.

  • Change firmed planned order to Unfirm Planned order

    Hi ,
    if we change firmed planned order to unfirm planned order ,is there any effect on WIP and routing changes?
    please respond with an answer.
    Regards
    Rekha
    Edited by: REKHA MAHAJAN on Mar 31, 2008 1:34 PM

    Hi Rekha ,
    planned order Unfirmed -
      will allow automatic changes with respect to requirement
    planned order firmed  -
      Any manual change in the planned order is called firmed
                                                          and will not allow any automatic changes with respect to requirement
    Planned order is just the requirement only there will no change in the WIP .
    for example : you have some requirement say PIR is 50 on 31st march you perform MRP
    by selecting the MRP type so that you will get firmed planned order for 50
    on  1st you have another requirement ( PIR )  for 100  and if you perform MRP again system will create another planned order if this is also firmed . you need to convert manually into production order.
    once planned order is converted into production order and there is no link with either routing or
    workin process with planned order and is meant for only open production orders . You can convert all the planned orders collectively also
    if any doubt come back

  • "CLOSED": HOW TO LOAD FIRM PLANNED ORDERS OF ANOTHER PLAN INTO ASCP PLAN?

    Hi everybody,
    How to load firm planned orders of plan 1 into plan 2?
    Business Case:
    Customer uses a separate planning for order intake. During order intake the requested due date is validated based on ASCP Gantt Chart. Bottlenecks are resolved. For make items firm discrete jobs are created, if adjusted suggested due dates are manually changed. For buy items firm planned orders are created for manually changed suggested due dates.
    If the order is accepted the demand is transferred from the Order Intake MDS into the so called Operational MDS. The firm discrete job will be automatically visible in the operational ASCP Plan (after data collection/running ASCP Plan).
    But how is it possible to include ONLY firm planned orders of another plan into your current plan?
    PLAN1 asigned master demand schedules
    - O_MDS1
    - O_MDS2
    PLAN2 assigned master demand schedules
    - O_MDS1
    - O_MDS2
    - T_MDS
    I want to transfer the firm planned orders from plan2 to plan1.
    Thanks for all your inputs,
    Catalina
    Message was edited by:
    user447176

    Since you need to run a data collection to load the new discrete job, I suggest you to add a custom step in the data collection.
    This custom step will
    1) select all firmed planned order in plan 2
    2) put the firm planned order into a new schedule through staging tables (MST_ST_SUPPLIES) .
    3) collect the data
    Then run plan1 with this schedule defined as demand schedule for your new plan.

  • Automatic Firmed Planned Order / Mass Change Planned Order

    Hi PP Gurus,
    My requirement is I want to make all planned order created from planning run will be automatically firmed. I tried several option :
    1. MRP type : P1, automatic create firmed planned order within planning time fence but for new requirement, planned order will be created after planning time fence date. Example planning time fence date lies on 20/10/2011
    PIR
    09/2011     3 pc
    10/2011     4 pc
    end of planning time fence date
    11/2011     5 pc
    run MRP
    Planned order firmed for month 9 and 10. for 11 is not firmed. But the problem is if PIR on month 10 is change from 4 to 6. the other 2 planned order will be created at end of planning time fence date.
    Is it possible for planned order created at appropriate date as requirement date ???
    2. Mass Change of Planned Order
    I browse the help SAP there is function module : MD_SET_ACTION_PLAF for mass changes of planned orders.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/9e/e84226c1c311d3b54a0004ac160649/content.htm
    I execute it with SE37 but i don't know what should i do with this function module after the next screen.
    In my mind, there will be selection screen for choosing which planned order will be perform firmed action.
    Any other idea to solve my requirement is welcome.
    Regards,
    Arman Lie

    Dear Arman,
    Use T.Code MD19 for firming the planned orders,also check MDBA for firming the planned order.
    For your first question let me check and revert back.

  • Have BOM re-exploded, yet remain Scheduling in firmed plnd order unchanged?

    Dear experts,
    Is there any way to have BOM re-explosion carry thru in planned order, but leaving the Scheduling info in the firmed planned order unchanged?
    (in respect that BOM refreshed frequently, with quite a few firmed planned orders involved)
    Environment: ECC 5.0
    Appreciated to any thought,
    Thank you,

    Hi
    I was checking the Planned Order (T-code: MD12) and there 2 separate options avaialable for (1) Explode BOM (2) Scheduling
    you can find these options as EDIT >> Explode BOM (or) EDIT >> Scheduling.
    please check, whether these options may be helpful.
