GR processing time and transportation time

Hi,
We buy all of our material at the suppliers dock. This means that we own the material as soon as we pick it up for transportation to our plant. To accommodate this we have included the transportation time in the GR-processing time field for each material. However, the trouble with GR-processing time is that it uses our factory calendar (which have non-working days at holidays, weekends and vacations) in planning the lead times. The transportation times calculated by the system are thus longer than the actual transportation time during certain periods which means that we are receiving material before we need it and tie up a lot of money in stock.
Is there anyway to have the transportation time calculated on calendar days (i.e. all days are considered to be working days) and still be able to see the date when the goods should be picked up at the supplier in MD04 without changing the factory calendar? I’ve read in an earlier post that the use of routes (transaction 0VTC) could be a possible solution. We use routes for shipping, but can they be used for procurement as well?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would consider changing the factory calendar to achieve this but ONLY if you don't mind POs being raised for delivery dates when you are closed (which does not bother some people because the delivery dates are not always seen as being entirely accurate).
But there is no way to make the GRP time use anything other than the factory calendar days. The planned delivery period is normal calendar days but this does not affect the availability date.
Do you actually need a GRP time? Could 0 not be used, after all it does seem that the transport time would be the same each time and so you would know that you pick the items up X days earlier than the date suggested?
I know that none of these suggestions are likely to be much use to you but I can see no simple way of achieving this.

  • LTP run ignoring GR processing time and Lead time

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out way to create a planning scenario (MS31) and run LTP (MS01) which will ignore the GR processing times and Lead times from Material master.
    I would like to use MCEC report (after running MS70 valuation) which will show the values only in my new fiscal year - for budgeting purposes. Currently because of the long GR processing times and Lead times in material master (sometimes even 60 days) - some planned values show in MCEC report 2 or 3 months before the new fiscal year and the last two periods of new fiscla year are empty.
    I would be grateful if you could help me with getting rid of these additional Times and adjusting the periods only for Report purpose. The desired final output should be that S012 table for this specific planning scenario has the values only in periods of the Fiscal year - without hitting previous Fiscal year last periods (due to lead /GR processing times).
    Thank you,
    Karol

    Dear,
    Master data is taken from normal MRP views. there is no other setting is available. you can create a different matrerial number for LTP planning.

    Hi Reddy,
    You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
    1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute  > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
    2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
    Hope this helps.

  • GR Processing Time and Delivery Time not coming in CS11 Output screen

    Hi,
    I am executing a BOM explosion report using CS11.
    In the CS11 report output I added columns for GR Time and Delivery Time using change layout option.
    After changing layout when I see the details in columns of GR Time and Delivery Time all the values are ZERO '0' for all the components in BOM.
    I checked the material master for component items and find that in MRP view values are maintained in GR Time and Planned Delivery Time field which are also seen in MARC table.
    I do not know from where CS11 is fetching the values for display of GR Time and Del. Time.
    How can we populate the values in CS11 report out put for GR Time and Delivery Time? Am I missing some master data maintenance apart from Material Master?
    Regards...

    Hi Prasobh,
    I looked at the note 101262 and it seems that it is suggesting us to create a new Z report by copying existing report and then modify the WRITE Bloack in new report to display GR Time and Del. Time.
    Is my understanding correct? If yes can you share with me the steps in some more details then mentioned in note 101262 that I need to follow for addressing this requirement.
    If no can you suggest any solution that you know by which it is possible to include GR Time and Del. Time in CS11 output without Z development.

  • Hide the start time and end time in ESS portal

    Experts,
    We have a requirement to hide the Start time and End time on the header section of the travel request / expense sheet in the ESS portal.  I have searched through the configuration and found several place to hide the start time and end time of segment yet these have no impact on the porta start and end time fields.
    Please Advise.
    Best Regards,
    Martin Weakley

    Hi Martin,
    you can achieve this with administrative personalisation. In portal content navigate to the role where you deltalinked your iView, click "preview". When a new Window for the preview is opened, notice the URL contains "&sap-config-mode=true". Now right click on the fields you want to hide and choose "enter configuration" (or the like, wording is not exact) from the context menue. The WD-UI-Element tree opens where you can directly hide/customize properties of the WD. When clicking save+exist you can also transport the alterations you did.
    maybe this helps or gives you a helpful alternative to the already stated measures in this thread
    regards, Lukas

  • Lead time and Route time estimation used for deliveries

    Dear Friends,
    Can anybadyu let us know how to estimate lead time and route times for deliveries, and what is the exact meaning of the these two with differences
    if possible can you please give me the configuration steps, as i know at this movement route times are maintained in the route and lead times are maintained in the material master MRP view.
    what was these field impacts in the delivery..
    requesting your view as soon as possible
    Thanks
    raju.

    Hi there,
    Lead time is the time in which the material will be available. It is called Replenishment lead time RLT. It is maintained in MRP view of material master. RLT can either be inhouse processing time for inhouse manufactured goods or order time + goods receipt processing time for externally procured goods.
    Whereas time mentioned in route is used to calculate transit time during delivery scheduling. That is the time taken for the goods to reach customer from shipping point.
    Both the times are imp for delivery scheduling.
    When the customer places an order, if the material is not available, then the system will take end of RLT as material availability date. From that date, it will carry forward scheduling & propose a new confirmed delivery date.

  • I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

    I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

    I'm afraid not.    It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding. 
    You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder.  Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
         <form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
    The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables. 
    I'm  assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code.  Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names.  It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

    Hi Bala
    You can have clock in and clock out in a weekly view.
    you have to change the data entry profile settings.
    In general settings tab in data entry profile click the with clock times button and maintain the Period type to 02 in time settings tab.
    And you can view the weekly entry in clock in and clock out.

  • If I have manually set "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for songs, and my hard drive is backed up in Time Machine, when files/songs are transferred on new hard drive, will my "Start Time" "Stop Time" options be there?

    My Macbook Pro will be going in for reimaging and my hard drive will be wiped, I want to know if all my iTunes preferences will be copied if I have backed them up on Time Machine. Specifically, if I have set certain "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for my songs, and I copy my iTunes library, will these "Start Time" and "Stop Time" options remain or will I have to manually set them one by one once again? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks so much!

    As far as I'm aware the start & stop times are stored in the library database, not the media files. If you backup/restore/transfer the whole library then the settings are included. If you create a complete copy of your iTunes folder on another drive you can connect to that copy by holding down option/alt as you start iTunes so you can check that everything is working properly before you send the Macbook away.

    hai
    please give me the solution
    suppose there are 5 systems connected in LAN.
    how to track the login time and logout times of clients
    for a given time(may be one day or 1 hour) using any programming language.
    please give me the solution

    When the client logs in you write the client's ID and the current time to a database. Likewise when the client logs out. Assuming of course that you have a program that knows when those events occur.

  • Usage dependency is created at Build time and installation time

    Hi,
    The infrastructure guys have selected the usage dependency as Build time and Installation time, while creating software components.
    "Y" SWC is created as depedency for "X" software component.
    In SLD(software catalog),  we are able to view the Y component as dependency in X component(at both build time and installation time).  In usage dependency we are able to view Y component but when we click Y component in usage dependecy we are also able to view X component. Is there any problem with this ?
    There is another issue. we are able to view basis object(in IR) in Y component but not in X component.  Actually as per the above configuration basis object in IR should appear in X component.
    Please refer to another forum which may give you some more idea.("BPM - Message interfaces of one component are not appearing in another comp") pasted on 17 Nov,2006.
    Please could you provide us the inputs.
