Fixed operation Quantity- Execution factor

Dear All
SAP NOTE:
Use of Execution Factor
Use the execution factor to indicate how many times an operation or sub-operation is to be carried out during processing of an order.
The execution factor refers to the work, the operation duration, the operation quantity and the material quantity.
If the indicator fixed operation quantity was set, the execution factor has no effect. If the indicator fixed lot was set, the material quantity remains unchanged.
Where i can find Fixed operation quantity and fixed lot indicator field in project builder.
Thanks
Shobana

Please refer this SAP link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0f/28b904c3e511d194f900a0c93033d8/frameset.htm
i.e.
If the indicator Fixed lot quantity is set (in the component item under General data), the execution factor of the components is not taken into account for the component quantity.
If the indicator Fixed op.quantity is set (on the external processing screen of the operation), the execution factor is not taken into account.
Hope this will help you.

Fixed Scrap Quantity In Production

Im using SAP ECC 6.0 now.
Is there any place I can set a fixed scrap quantity in BOM or PP related?
The situation is like this: While producing Semi-finishegoods A we alway need extra 10 Raw-mateiral B for scrap.
That means 100 A needs 110 B ; 10 A needs 20 B;
How can I configure it so that when I create the procution Order for 10 A, it will put 20 B in the components automatically;
I can only find scrap ratio in percentage.
thanks alot for looking into my problem.

Hi
As you rightly mentioned , to my knowledge, as of now in standard SAP
All the SCRAPS are maintained in % only.
1) Component Scrap >>>>> Maintained in MRP4 in % & also in BOM General data tab
2) Assembly Scrap >>>>>> Maintained in MRP1 in %
3) Operation Scrap >>>>>>Maintained in BOM item detail General Tab in %

Fix date/Quantity in the sales order schedule line

Dear SD Gurus,
When we select the fix date/quantity in the lsaes order item schedule line, what happen? Hhow does it imapact the MD04,V_V2 and can this item be seen in CO06 to change the item date manually?
Thanks
J.Black

With fix/date and qty, you can't use rescheduling and back order processing. The setting assumes that you want to fix the date at the time of initial confirmation and therefore these functions are not relevant, and ignore anything with fix/date and qty. If you want to use those functions then don't use fix/date and qty.

Fixed Days Supply & Fixed Order Quantity

Hi,
in certain cases we use the Fixed Days Supply & Fixed Order Quantity attributes in the Item Master to influence our ASCP plan calculation (size of planned orders etc.)
We need this because we do discrete production (semiconductor industry) and with the fixed order quantity we to ensure that the system plans with full Lots.
However I am not sure what the impact of the Fixed Days Supply is, especially in combination with the Fixed Order Quantity.
Unfortunatly the Manuals do not tell very much about this. Does anyone have experience with this and wants to share some knowledge? I would like to know what these parameters really do and maybe there are better ways for our setup...
Thanks,
David.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I found the detailed explanation in user guide you mentioned.
I am not sure that we made the setup in an optimum way.
We use for example fixed days supply = 5 for many buy items, because we place weekly Purchase Orders for these items and want to have the planned orders combined instead of having a planned order for every day.
And we use the fixed order quantity to prevent two things:
1) The size of the planned order gets below a typicall Lot size and the calculated leadtime for this planned order is too short. We define item based resource usage rates so it will calculate the exact lead time for the small planned order, but in reality our production has to run the full Lot which takes more time of course.
2) without the fixed order quantity the planned orders might become too big, which makes scheduling of them more difficult, because finding a free time-slot on the machines for a huge quantity must be more difficult than for a smaller planned order.
But unfortunatly Oracle does not provide some business cases, especially for our semiconductor industry so it is more trial-and-error what we are doing...
regards,
David.

Fixed Order Quantity

Hi,
we are using ASCP together with SFM. We do descrete manufacturing for our products. The products flows look like this:
- asssembly item A (finished good item)
=> is make item (has routing), uses component3
- component3 is make item, uses component2
- component2 is make item, uses component1
- component 1 is buy item
So the flow of material looks like this:
component1 -> component2 -> component3 -> assembly4
(buy) (make) (make) (make)
In production we typically process only full Lots/Batches with a certain quantity depending on the component1.
We want that ASCP plans always full Lots, because the leadtime of the full Lot is always needed in reality. If ASCP plans with partial quantities, then the estimated/calculated leadtime for the planned orders will not be realistic.
To achieve this we want to use the Fixed Order Quantities, however it turned out that we run into several other problems if we use this parameter. For example it happens that system recommends to buy material (component1) just for the sake of the fixed order quantities.
We are running into issues if we enter the Fixed Order quantities, and we get other issues if we leave this empty.
I am looking for someone who has experience with this parameter and can give some recommendations. Maybe we use the wrong approach and there are other paramters that we should use to achieve what we want.
Big Thanks in advance,
David.

Sub: "We want that ASCP plans always full Lots, because the leadtime of the full Lot is always needed in reality. If ASCP plans with partial quantities, then the estimated/calculated leadtime for the planned orders will not be realistic."
Oracle ASPC has some more meaningfull logic in Lead time calcualtion. It is not that Lead time will be wrong when you Process the low batch. On the other hand lead time goes up when you use Fixed order Quantity , irrespective of Demand. It also files up your inventory.
See for example, If you have fixed order quanitity for an item say 1000 numbers;assume that you have on hand for 500. and need to refill balance 500.
What will ASCP recommend you ?..1000 numbers.It files your invenotry...Does this mean that lead time for producing 1000 is less as compared to 500!!! also is it acceptable to produce extra 500..
.It also make you to plan low levels adversly with case cade effect...
You issue is not lead time...You are talking about setup time. If you produce more batches, you are occuring the more setups for same items. it makes lead time more lengthy considering the setup time. This is your problem and wanted to limit this or wanted to make it optimization. (Is it right my observation of your problem??)
How to control...?. Rather than speaking about lead time , let us talk in other way ...what is the Planning perid do you want want to conisder while planning a batch or lot size?. In other words let us take an example,,,
Component2 has a lead time of say 30 days for 1000 numbers. At the same time, I am able to accamadate only max 1000 numbers. If the demand goes up ,say for example, 2000, then I need to have two batches. If the goes less than 1000 and demand split in time gap ...for exmaple, 500 in first of week of may and 200 in last of week of may, still I want to consolidate 500+200 into one batch and want to Plan 700 as it is less that 1000.
If the above condition matches..you need to use Min Order/Max orde qunatity and Fixed days supply together. This is the wonderful way it controls the objective as stated above.In this example you will set min 1 , max 1000 and fixed days supply to 20 days.
How ever in some cases if the demand comes likes this, say for exmaple 2000 and 2000, then there is a recommendation to produce 1000,1000,1000,1000 with due date as equal to first lot. However, if you use constranied based planning, APS will reshdule and give you best possible time slot. Other wise, if there is enoguh capacity you are still able to produce 4 batches in first due date. The result of this behaviour depends on EDD and ECC and will vary.Make it understand this and do test case..go ahead..
Thanking you,

Selection Of Alternative Sequence Automatically By Operation Quantity

Dear All,
We are Using Discrete Manufacturing Scenario, In That Scenario Routing Contains Six Operation and One or Two Operations having alternative Sequence , My client required during production Order Creation , If Operation quantity is more than 250
system should select std sequence else system should select alternative sequence, But i am not getting to mantain lot size for std sequence for operation even I maintaining lot size for alternative sequence , system should not considering alternative sequence. Pls Suggest me how to Resolve Issue
Thanks

Vipin,
It is not possible to control the routing sequence selection based on lot size.
As suggested by forum experts, create mulitple group counters for the same material routing group and you can use them based on lot size.
You can also create production versions for different lot sizes.
Check and revert,

New operation for production order - change operation quantity not possible

Hello all,
we want to create a new operation for a production order.
So we go to CO02 and to the operation order overview screen.
But when we add a new operation, the system will not let us determine the operation quantity for the new operation, the system will just take the quantity from the operation before.
How can I determine the qty by myself?
Thanks
Anne

You can do another way also. You change your routing with new operation quantity and save it in CA02. NOw you go to CO02 and read master data in funtions, then the new operation quantity will definetly come in to the production order.

Operator interface execution window is not getting activated-cant terminate,abort

Hi all,
I have sequence running in the operator interface which pops up a panel.It remains visible for some time and the value in a control of the panel is getting updated periodically .It is done using threads.After the panel pops up, until it goes off i am not able to operate with the controls in the operator interface execution window(terminate,abort,break).I changed the floating style of the panel as 'active when clicked on'.
Regards,

Radhu,
Is this panel part of the Operator Interface or a dll function call from within your sequence. It sounds like its modal to the operator interface.

Difference between "base quantity" and "operation quantity" in an operation

Hello
what is the difference between "base quantity" and "operation quantity" in a production order ?
thank you for your answers

Base Quantity - Quantity of the material to be produced to which the standard values of the operation refer.
Operation Quantity - Quantity planned for this operation.
Base quantity and operation quantity may not always be the same, if we have partial lots delivered during the sequence of operations, the operation quantity will be equal to the lot delivered during the operation.
Base quantity is dependent on the BOM, where it signifies the total quantity of output after using the components of certain quantity.
Hope this may help you.

New lot-sizing procedure (similar FX fixed order quantity)

Dear All,
I have to create a new lot sizing procedure for MRP run. This new procedure should be similar to FX - the material should be included in MRP run when the stock falls below reorder point - but the quantity ordered (proposed to be ordered in PReq) should be the fixed lot size no matter which is the difference between the reorder point and the stock.
To clarify the request: the reorder point is 70, the stock level is 15 and the fixed lot size is 25. The MRP run should create 1 PReq for 25. (The standard functionality of FX lot sizing creates 3 PReq for 25 pieces each one - because the needed quantity is 55.)
If there is no standard customization to be done, I think I should do some changes in the needed quantity (set the quantity 25 instead of 55) - but I need yours advice also about the best way to do this. Maybe you may indicate an exit/BADI or a place where I can do an enhancement to achieve this.
I now it is not the best request - but I have to do it, unfortunately .
Regards,
Florina R.

Hi Tomasz,
1) The reorder point is 70 (greater than the needed quantity for a week) because the vendor has some delivery problems and also because this quantity covers the delivery lead time.
2) The lot size is fixed because they do not want to order more than the needed quantity for a week even if the difference between the reorder point and the stock level is greater than 25.
I'm able to fix the lot size but not to limit the quantity at this value (25).
I have to do this because they will provide the needed quantity (if the stock falls to 0) from another vendor (but the tricky thing and wrong also is the fact that for the second vendor I have a second material....).
It is hard for me to convince you that the request is correct because I know in this way SAP will work incorrectly - but the client knows the consequences and even so wants this kind of lot sizing procedure...
Regards,
Florina R.

Fixed date quantity

Is it possible to have the configuration so that the FIxed date and quantity (vbap-fixmg) is not defaulted to Sales Area.

To split an operation quantity in a single production order into different work centers.

Detailed Process:
Our client have 17 factories. Inside each factory there are 15-20 Sewing lines (Work Centers). In each line 15-20 machines (individual capacities) are there. The standard manufacturing scenario practiced here is MTO. Merchandisers create sales order and allot it to a particular plant. Now line level planning happens inside the factory. Based on the order delivery date to meet the requirements they split the production order and allot it to several sewing lines (work centers). In SAP we can have work around solution to partially convert planned order to production order and allot it to particular line. The challenge here is to have same production order number which can be allotted to several sewing lines with a mandatory option to enter the quantity for each sewing line
We have proposed alternative and multiple routing for converting planned order into number of production orders but the solution was not meeting their requirements.
Please provide your valuable opinions on this issue.

Hi,
Please explore the option of using the concept called Parallel sequence in routing...
Check the below thread...

Operation Quantity is reflected as zero in production order

Hi gurus,
I faced a problem in poduction order. When I create the Production order operation qty is reflected as zero value instead of order qty. Because of that I am unable to perform the operation wise confirmation transaction.
Pls. give any ideas for this.
Regards,

Dear Brhmakumar,
There is no option to enter Operation qty. in routing.
And for the converstion factor from header qty to operation qty. is 1:1 is in routing.
