Fulfillment centers for stocked product

Hi our business has a requirement where they would like to optimize shipments so product would ship from the nearest fulfillment center, similar to how Amazon operates with their many fulfillment centers. I work in VC, so we are hoping to direct the CTO product via VCSD_UPDATE and VC rules on the sales order. But we also need to stock product in these fulfillment centers as material variants to guarantee 24 hour shipment to our customers. Im finding that when the material variant is specified in the sales order it uses what is specified in the sales org view of the MV or if the sales org has no indication, it uses default plant location setup within the system. I was wondering where I should be looking to direct orders for the stocked MVs to the most optimal plant location? Would APO help with this?

Ignore SAP. If you were to post book (manual) accounts, would you post COGM to Cost Centres?
Cheers.

I think I understand what you are trying to achieve -> this sounds like you would want to do what SAP standard would do with KD/E-requirements (customer specific) = every material=item=position in a SD-order will create it's PR or production order. In the same way you want to generate one PR-item per production-order component - wait! - Maybe you want to create a single PR for every component in the production order???

You will have to talk to your MM/PP-functional ... if you do not have RESB-entries I have no idea how this process is setup. You probably do not have components in those production orders, only one header-material (CAUFVD-MATNR). Depending on what is configured in the material-master MRP views + what modifications/enhancements are installed around the complete process, you could have almost any setup. It's impossible to say without seeing it. Make sure s/he explains to you exactly, since even with different stock-materials there could be different setups for procurement.

Purchase order from production order for stock material

Hi,
Can we issue purchase order for stock materials (item category L) for components in production order. We want a PO account assigned to production order . How can we achieve that.
With regards,
Mrinal

Dear
1.Goto MM02-Enter componenet item code -Selec MRP4 view -Keep Individula nad Collective indicator as 1
2.Goto MM02-FG Material -MRP4 view -Keep Individaul and Collective indicator -1 and in Sale.Org1 view keep item categoery as MTO .
3.Create Sales Order and run MRP in MD02 (NETCH , 2,1,1,3,2, 2)-If the compoenets are not available , then it will generate PR with an Account Assing Categery E with sales order refernce and line item .Converthis PR into PO cnd check the same in Accounting Tab .
This is only possible in MTO scinarion in case you want to have PO account assinged for FG production Order .

Using different UOMs for same material (stock, production, sales)

Hi,
here is our scenario:
1. A material that we sell is 10 meters long in its full length.
2. We want to be able to sell it in any length. E.g. 2 meters, 4 meters, 5 meters, etc.
3. The by-product will be 10 meters - the sold length and should be kept in stock.
4. The same material should be kept in stock at seperate lengths and we/warehouse want to be able to see how many of each length are kept in stock. E.g. 10 PCs of 5 Meters, 5 PCs of 10 meters etc.
Any ideas how this would best be solved?

hi Kenneth,
U can activate batch management for ur product.
Create class(class type=023) having characteristics length and values wat u want to maintain,
after that assign ur class in mm02 in classification view and maintain ur stock in batches
in mmbe u can see ur stock batch wise
please come back if more clearification

Available QTY is not shown in Production Order for SemiFinished Product?

Hi
In Production Order Available Qty value is not shown for SemiFinished product ( Stock is there), but it showing the Available for other rawmaterials in same Prdn. ordr..
The SemiFinished product is manufactured and its having lot of stocks ..while i am calling this SemiFinished product in other Production order the available qty is not shown.. so how come the end user comes to know that availlable..
Giri

Hi Jey
I will explain clearly so u can come what is hapening For Ex: Item ABC having child item A,B & C.
when calling the BOM of ABC in Prodn.order its showing the available of A, B & C... But after the production over for the Semifinished product it increases the stock.
When i am calling this Semifinished Product in other Produciton Order For Ex: Item AZ having Child item ABC & XYZ.
In this Scenerio it has to show the Available of item ABC whic is semifinished product its not showing,but in the same Production order it showing the available for Other item XYZ which is purchased one .. So this is the nature of SAP or i am doing any wrong....

Creation of Production order for FInished Product through Project

Hi,
Pls clear me on how we can create a Production Order for finished product.
If we confirm the production orders in PP, cant the same be confirmed in PS.. Should we consider the same activity types in both PS and PP
Pls clarify

hi srikanth,
your answer has been very helpful... but could u clarify why MRP is run in MD51 for WBS element and in MD02 for network..
Pls clarify... My scenario is like this ...
A
                        B                                                                                C
                D E F G H I                                                                                J K L M N O
I have a Assemblies B and C which are always delivered in sets.. under assemblies B and C, we have 6 sub assemblies which has its own components. I am assigning sub assemblies to differenet WBS elements 01 and 02. so, initially these sub-assemblies are produced to stock. this should happen in PP i.e., through production orders generated in MRP run ( MD51 ). In the next phase i will assign Assemblies B and C to another WBS element. Again system should generate two Production orders thru MRP for this. Here the 6 sub-assemblies produced earlier will be consumed in confirmation of the production order...
What i am doing is this correct...
and the procurement for the components is happening thru the purchase requisition generated via MRP. the components themselves are not directly assigned to the project..
Pls advise and clarify?

Pricing Procedure for diffrent unit of measure for diffrent product

1) Existing Pricing procedure --> Condition type based on Quantity
2) Existing Product --> Sales Unit & Base Unit of Measurement is in NOS ( Numbers )
3) New Product ( Belt ) ---> Pricing of product based on weight
ex :--> Rubber Belt --> 1 belt = 11.50 kg , Price = Rs. 100/ kg
As the production of material will go on weight of Belt will reduce in range of 11.50 to 11 kg . For different batch of production weight will change
every time weight of material will be calculated and price will be charged on basis of net weight ( Kg)
4) New product is assigned to new division ( it will bw sold in new division only )
Question
1) What should be Base Unit / Sales Unit of measurement ?
2) Do we need to create new pricing procedure or existing pricing procedure will work ?
for new product we need to create new condition type for which calculation type will be Net Weight .
3) do we need to do any customization for this ?
Exice people say that if pricing is done in KG (Net weight ) they want to see stock in KG
Management want to see stock in KG & Numbers

May be you can Create a New Unit Of Measure called ZPC. For using ZPC you need to assign Additional Base Unti Of Measure as ZPC in your Material Masters as well.
Use ZPC to create your condition records of pricing and in Sales order you will still have Unit of Measure as PC which the management wants to see..
Similarly you can create Constion records for new product based on Kg.

Purchase request for stock material

Hi
when MRP runs, take all purchase request of all production order for STOCK material and aggregates all request together in one purchase order. In this way, I lost binding between purchase request and production order. Is there a way to make MRP not aggregating request but use different position for different purchase request in case of stock material?
regards
Gabriele

Gabriele,
MRP does not create purchase orders. I assume you are talking about the Purchase requisitions created by MRP.
In MTS by definition there is no 'binding' between supply elements (such as Purchase reqs) and demand elements (such as production order reservations). In MTS, all production is 'anonymous'.
You can cause MRP minimize the amount of aggregation of supply elements by changing lot size of the components to EX, and ensure that the 'individual/collective' indicator (MRP4) is not set to '2', but there is no way to guarantee a 1-to-1 relationship under all circumstances between mrp rqments and mrp supply (purchase requisitions)
Companies that have a business requirement to 'hard-link' supply to demand use MTO. If this is your requirement, it will never be completely satisfied with MTS.

Shopping Cart Creation for Stock Material

Hi,
I'm implementing a project that i must create SC from an external ECC system. When I try to create the SC the system sends me the message below. There's a way to create the SC from this external system for Stock Material?
"Purchase of product 0000000000000000000000000000000030238225 is not permitted in the backend"
We're using the Classic Scenario.
Thanks and best regards,
Alexandre.

Hi Muthuraman,
Thanks for your answer, I've look for the nots that you've sent me but it's a quite different what I need. I've been searching on the forum for something that can hep me and actually there's a older question that you help a person with something similar.
Here is the question and your answer. I've tried to follow the instructions but those Functions didn't stop when I execute the 'BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL' function.
There's a way to clear the account assignment while creating the document on the backend when I'm using the function to create the SC?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Alexandre.
Question:
'In a SRM classic scenario it's possible to create a shoping cart for material stock or it's only possible to create for indirect material (center cost, order, etc).'
Answer:
'yes. Indeed you need enhancement
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
you need to clear the account assignment while creating a PO in the backend.
so PO will be created in the backend rather than in SRM .
but see impacts - how inventory gl accounts are posted while doing good receipt. Is it taking GL account from valuation class .
Hide the Order as direct too in SRM .
create one custome field in shopping cart to determine to order a PO in the backend (for stock materials) so when you check this field, this sc item PO will be created without account assignment.

Profit Centers for Raw Materials

Hi Experts,
I would like to know in general which profit center will be used in raw materials. For example raw material, say sugar, it can be used in finished product A and finished product B, its like a shared service, in this case which profit center needs to be assigned. Will there a P&L taken in these profit centers.
Also for cost centers, in a production line, there are can be different product lines can be manufactured, for eg finished product A different product line and finished product B different product line manufactured in one common cost center. In this case which profit center will be used in this common manufacturing cost center.
Apart from assignment, should we perform some month end allocation and stuff like that.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
GJ.

Hi,
If the raw material is shared by 2 product to manufactured then use the common profit center for raw material .

Use old product number for new product.

Dear all,
I have to manage the following case.
From a defined date the engineering releases a new product that will substitute an old product.
The marketing doesnu2019t want to change material number and would you like to use the old product number also for new product.
This solution has a great impact for planning because there is not possible to distinguish the old product stock from new product stock.
Could you help me?
Regards
Flavia Borselli

Hi,
I think one opption is discontinuation that was invited for such cases I thnk. You can set the new part number as the follow-up material of the old one - in this case planning will run smoothly hopefully...
That would mean that they should use new part number but there would be some connection between the new and old one...
Split valuation is another tool to make difference between batches from different origins when the material number is the same. But you wrote batch management is not active...
If you use WM you can store the new & old goods separatly but I wouldn't prefer such solutions...
