Fixed Lot Size

Dear Gurus,
I am simulating the functionality of Fixed Lot Size so I enter Lot Size = FX and indicated Fixed order Quantity = 40,000 in Material Master. We are using Ind./Coll = 1 and I want to generate fixed quantity of planned order equal to 40,000. But when I run MD42, the system still generated planned order equal to the shortage/required quantity. Our requirement is to generate fixed quantity of 40,000 per planned order regardless of demand requirement.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

SD

Hi,
Please find my reply below,
Use MRP Type VB:Manual reorder point planning:Here you need to define reorder point in material master in MRP view.When the stock level reaches the re order point then system will create a procurement proposals.

Report for Reorder point, safety stock, current stock and fixed lot size

Hi,
Purchasing Dept. is looking for a report which can give list of materials falling below the reorder point, so that they can go ahead and create procurement proposals for those materials.
They also want to see the Reorder Point, Safety Stock, current stock and fixed lot size in the same report.
Let me know if there ia any standard report availbale which displays the same or any approach to get the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shankar Goud.

Hi,
There is no standard report because this is meant to be managed by the MRP run.
The MRP lists show all materials that have a problem (such as stock below reorderpoint) but MRP generates requirements for these anyway and so all you need to do is to look for the MRP generated requirements (requisitions?) and you have your list?
Are you using MRP?
If so then please use the standard functions in MRP to get this.
If not, then WHY NOT?

Different fix lot size depending on the production version

Hi all,
I have the next scenario:
2 production versions. 2 different fix lot size por each. So:
Prod Version 1 - Fix lot size 200
Prod Version 2 - Fix lot size 300
I created the Quota Arrangement just to make SAP to take my favourite version. And trought the quota, I can define the lot size for each version. BUT.
If I change the version in the order or in the planned order, the quantity don't change.
So: How can I manage 2 different fix lot size for 2 different product versions? If I change the version once the order is created, how can I do the system change de quantity to the right one?
Thanks in advante
<< Please do not offer points >>
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Oct 1, 2010 2:53 PM

I have n't tried this scenario,
This is my Idea
Create a two production version
for ex: lot size 100 to 1000, set the rounding profile qty as 1000
for lot size 1001 to 99999, set the lot rounding profile value to 5000
BY this way u can get the two lot based on the rounding profie
Expert; please correct if i am wrong

Fixed Lot Size and Assemby Scrap

Hi Gurus,
I've an issue using a Material with Fixed Lot Size (MRP View) and Assembly Scrap.
The system doesn't increase the base quantiy (creating a Process Order) with the Assembly Scrap defined in the Material Master, if you change manually the quantity in the COR2 quantiy will be recalculated correctly.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks

dear marco,
One changes in my earlier post
IF fixed lot size is 1000, and assemby scrap as 10 %
if the pir is for 900
after running MRP system will create a plan order for 1000
In MD04 , you can see the receipt reqmt as 900 and scrap as 100
i.e System will allocate the scrap with in the fixed lot size
Once the plan order is converted in to process order you can see
the total qty as 1000 and scrap 100
for other lot size system will add the PIR reqmt +assembly scrap %,
Yes you can change the qty in COr2, system will update as per the scrap qty , i.e system will allocate the qty for scrap
for ex , if you are changing the total qty as 10000, system will propose 1000 as scrap,
when you save the order and see the mD04
you can see the receipt/ reqmt qty as 9000 and scrap as 1000
i.e system will allocate the 1000 qty from total qty
Hope you are clear how the fixed lot size is working for assembly scrap

SNP quota arrangement with fixed lot size

Hi all,
i have a question regarding quota arrangement for external procurement in snp heuristic. Whe have 2 sources of suppy created by info record. The quota is 25% for the first and 75% for the second one. In product master there is maintained a fixed lot sice of 500.000. Im wondering that the snp heuristic creates 2 requisitions of 500.000 for each sos at the same day. So we get an serios excess. Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi,
thanks for reply. Ok, normally net requirement calculation works properly. In case of a shortage the heuristic shall apply an receipt with the fixed lot size wich is maintained in material master. However, in out particular case it generates the double receipt quantity which is not needed at the receipt date.
The heuristic should do the following:
Day 01 Stock 100
Day 02 DepDmd 20
Day 03 DepDmd 20
Day 04 DepDmd 20
Day 05 DepDmd 20
Day 06 DepDmd 20
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 1!!
Day 08 DepDmd 20
Day xx PurReq 100 !! Source 2!!
and not:
Day 01 Stock 100
Day 02 DepDmd 20
Day 03 DepDmd 20
Day 04 DepDmd 20
Day 05 DepDmd 20
Day 06 DepDmd 20
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 1!!
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 2!!
Day 08 DepDmd 20
In this example 100 would be the fixed lot size from material master.
Best regards,
Christian

MRP planning Purchase REQ per fixed lot size

Folks,
I have materials which have MRP type PD with fixed lot size of 20 pieces. Safety stock = 200 pieces. MRP run results in 10 preqs of 20 pieces each. I would like to have 1 Preq of 200 pieces. How can this be achieved?
Regards,
MdZ

Hi,
This is because of Lot size "FX" you maintained as 20.
For FX lot size system will divide the total qty as per the fixed lot qty & throw that much of PR for that stock.
So Safety stock = 200, FX =20 so PR will be 200/20 = 10 PRs
If you want 1 PR for your safety stock, then change the Lot size to "EX" then system will throw 1 PR for 200 qty as per your Safety stock

Fixed lot size and Minimum lot size

Dear senior,
My client has the following scenario. His supplier provides the item in a fixed lot size of 100. The minimum lot size to be ordered is 300.
The supplier is a fixed vendor.
I tried to maintain this information in the Material Master MRP views. Lot size - FX, Fixed lot size - 100, Minimum lot size - 300.
However, everytime, the minimum lot size will get reset.
Is there any way , I can maintain this scenario via configuration or any other method?
Thank you.

Hi,
Fixed lot size - 100 means for every 100 quantity system will create one purchase document.
If you selected Lot size - FX - Fixed order quantity , then no need to maintain Minimum lot size & Maximum lot size fields.
Then you have to maintain Fixed lot size filed only.
Ex:
Lot size = FX
Fixed lot size = 100
There is a requirement of 300. Then system will create 3 PO's with quantity of 100 each.
If Lot size is Ex - Lot-for-lot order quantity, then only need to maintain Minimum lot size & Maximum lot size fields in the MRP 1 view.
Ex: Lot size = EX
Minimum lot size = 60
Maximum lot size = 100
There is a requirement of 250. Then system will create 3 purchase documents, two documents with the quantity of 100 and third one with the quantity of 60.
That's why, in your case system is reseting Minimum lot size every time.
If you want to maintain Minimum lot size, then maintain
Lot size as EX
Minimum lot size = 100
Max lot size = 300
It will solve your problem.

Fixed lot size key has no effect on planned orders generated for VC PIRu2019s

Hello gurus,
does anyone have an idea why the fixed lot size key is not having an effect on the planned orders that are generated for the Planned Independent Requirements (PIR) for MTO configurable materials. My client is using planning strategy 56.
I have copied & customized the Fixed lot size key FX to suit the MTO production (u201CLot size as in short-term periodu201D activated) that works nicely even with configurable materials when a planned order is generated for a sales order. But the planned orders in the preplanning segment, i.e. that were generated for PIR's, are still created equally to the PIR quantity.
Is this behavior an error or an SAP feature? Though, I have reviewed the OSS Note 437098 that might be related to this. Can anyone tell me if it is related to this issue?
Regards,
Mikko

Got the answer fro SAP:
Please consider the following note, which provides the explanation about this behavior of the lot-size, when VSE requirements are used:
125498 - MRP/Docu: Planning segment and lot-for-lot order quantity
The following section of the note describes your scenario in detail:
"The planned independent requirements for a material are in a separate
planning segment (planning strategy planning without final assembly,
requirements type VSE, VSEV).
You enter a rounding value or a rounding profile or an lot size that is
not exact in the material master.
Material Requirements Planning:
In Material Requirements Planning, planned orders are generated for the
planned independent requirements. The lot size settings (such as fixed
lot size or minimum lot size) are also not taken into account."

Combination of Fixed Lot size and Period lot size

Dear all
I have scenario as follows:
1. My supplier's standard packing size of a raw material is 1000 EA.
2. I want to follow period based lot size to optimise my order and inventory cost. But I don't want to use dynamic lot size which will propose dynamic quantity.
So my requirement is like I want to fix lot size as 1000 at material master and Period is Week. My proposal quantity must be 5000 EA for the following demand pattern:
Week 1:1200
Week 2: 1000
Week 3: 1100
Week 4: 1000
System must consider period as well as fixed quantity.
Kindly throw some light on this.
Advance thanks.

Hi
1.As you are looking for Weekly demand demand quanityt , you have to assign Weekly Lot Size : WB.
2. Goto OWD1 and Create a Rounding Profile which will rounds into Weekly Demand quantity for that plant and simulate .
3.Assign this rounding profile in MMR in MRP1
3.DO NOT assing rounding valu as 1000 .Rather keep it blank
Hope this will solve the problem

FiX lot size & minimum sale order qty .

hi all
We maintained minimum order quantity for material ; can we put massage sale oraganization wise
ie for SO IN01 Massage type is 'E"
& for IN02 massage type is 'W"
If my minimum order qty. is 10 then SAP will accept the sale order qty. with multiple of 10 .
Eg. If customer placed order qty. 15 Nos. Dose SAP convert it into 20 automatically ?
PL. suggest me how to configure this scnerio

Hello,
Min sales order qty is controlled through MMR Sales Org 1 - if you want it to round up or down to the correct order quantity then you will need to create a rounding profile (see below).
Otherwise to change your message from a info or warning to an error goto transaction OVAH message V4 082 and change to E = error.
Rounding Profile
Key that the system uses to adjust the order proposal quantity to deliverable units.
Procedure
In Customizing, enter a threshold value from which the system should round up to the next value per deliverable unit:
If the requirements value exceeds the first threshold value, the system always rounds up to the next multiple of the level found
If the requirements value falls below the first threshold value, the system copies the original requirements value.
Two other types of rounding exist:
Dynamic rounding profile:
These profiles are used to round up quantities to logistical units of measure (for example, layers). The contents of a logistical unit of measure does not have to be know when creating the rounding profile. It is determined by the master data from the material master.
Rounding profile with quantity to be added/subtracted
With these profiles, the given quantity is changed either by adding a percentage or subtracting a percentage.
Only static rounding profiles are taken into account in requirements planning. Neither dynamic rounding profiles not quantity addition/ subtraction are taken into account.
Examples
A material's base unit of measure is 1 unit; the purchase order is to be delivered in layers (1 layer corresponds to 5 units) or in pallets (1 pallet corresponds to 8 layers which contains 40 units).
You maintain the profile as follows:
From a requirements of 2 units, the system is to round up to 5; from a requirement of 32 units, the system is to round up to 40.
This results in the following order proposal quantities:
Requirement from 1 -> 1 requirement from 31 -> 30
Requirement from 2 -> 5 requirement from 32 -> 40
Requirement from 6 -> 10 requirement from 74 -> 80
Requirement from 7 -> 10
Dependencies
If no rounding profile has been entered, the system uses the rounding value entered in the material master record for the planning run
Kind regards

Lot size

The parents material lot size is fixed lot size , child component lot size is 2 week lot size. ( ie. 2 week = 10 Days ).
question:
If the demand for parent material in month,after MRP run the dependent requirement for child component also getting generate only one planned order.
What are the possibilities if the parent demand in month, child requirement is needed in weekly basis .Any chance to get the child requirement in weekly by changing lot size or any other possibilities.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. if we change the lot size for dependent material to weekly , biweekly or fixed etc....
The dependent req. will generate according to the lot size that is absolutely correct. but planned order or purchase req. will create according to the parent demand (ie .Adding of dependant req. what ever falling with in the lot size period and for that quantity planned order or purchase req. is getting created )
Actually my requirement is for the each dependent requirement one planned order should get generate .

Lot size creation in PP

Hi gurus,
I have 2 scenarios,
1. PIR of a product X is 56 & lot size is 10. After running MRP, SAP should create 6 plan orders of qty 10.
2. PIR of a product X is 54 & lot size is 10. After running MRP, SAP should create 5 plan orders of qty 10.
Means,
Balance qty after lot size calculation, should be round off to the next lot size if it is greater than 50% of lot size.
Similarly Qtyshould be round off to the previous lot size if it is less than 50% of lot size.
Pls help
Regards,
SamieR

Dear Samie,
Case1: As explained by our other forum member you use a fixed lot size and mention the lot size quantity as 10 and the system
will create 6 different planned orders.
Now for case2: the only possible solution will be create a copy of fixed lot size and include the check box for last lot exact in
OMI4 for this particular lot size,so that the system create 5 planned orders for 10 quantity each by mentioning the fixed lot size
quantity as 10 and the last planned order alone will be for 4 quantity.
Check and revert back.

Manual Lot Size issue in SNP

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue while creating planned orders manually in the planning book as it is not splitting into the lot size which was maintained in the product master.
Some details on the issue:
I have a product X and I maintained '4000' as the fixed lot size in product master. When I enter 20000 it should spilt it into 5 batches and which is not happenning and it is placing the entire thing as one bulk order of '20000'.
(If I run heuristics, it is splitting basing on the lot size maintained).
It was working correctly for 1 product and for many of the products it is not working. All the parameters for the products are same and there is no difference.
For the product which was working correctly for one user and for the same product if I try it is not working.
I probed more into the issue to see if any parameters were added in his profile, there is one custom parameter which is assigned which splits the planned orders basing on the lot size maintained. I even assigned that profile, it worked once and later it is not working.
The strange thing is for one user it works and for other users it doesn't even work for the same product.
Note: We recently moved from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1.
Did any one faced such kind of issues before? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Murali.

Hi Murali,
I am surprised to read the issue. I will never expect manual planned order to get split. The lot size settings are applicable only for automated planning i.e. heuristic (MRP in R/3)
If you have indeed observed that the system splits the orders by lot size, I have nothing to comment. (probably that is why you did not get a reply for almost a day.
If you have found some settings and find that they do not work, please raise a message to SAP for the same.
I do not think system should split the manual planned order.

MRP lot size?

HI All,
Guys i configured M.R.P Type and M.R.P Controller, but I am unable to understand the M.R.P Lot size?
while i am creating a material in mm01 lot size is not allowing me to chose any other option except EX-Lot for Lot Order quantity.. could any one suggest why is it so..?
Thanks and Regards,
Chinta

> while i am creating a material in mm01 lot size is not allowing me to chose any other option except EX-Lot for Lot Order quantity.. could any one suggest why is it so..?
Do you mean you can see all the lot sizes but system is not allowing to select or you can see only EX? Because only "EX" lot size doesnt require further data. But if you select any other lot sizes like "FX - fixed lot", you also need to enter the fixed lot size value in fixed value. if you are dealing with CBP, below are the important lot sized to use.
Lot-for-Lot Order Quantity

Function of lot size PB,FS.

Hello SAP Gurus,
   Can you help in understanding the function of lot size PB(period lot size=posting period) and FS (Fixing and Splitting).
     I mean i what to know how these lot sizes works.With this also share that where can i get study material on it.
                        Thanking You.

Hi,
Lot Size FS :-
When entering the lot size "FS" and in field the qty as fixed the system is splitting up the planned order qty.
For ex qty is 100 the fixed lot size is 25 the sys creates 5 planned orders of 25 each. The total qty now comes to 25
Lot Size PB :-
In period lot-sizing procedures, the system groups several requirements within a time interval together to form a lot
In PB periods of flexible length equal to posting periods.
Determines how the lot size is calculated for a certain lot-sizing procedure during material requirements planning.
Please go SAP help for details and system configuration in OMI4.
