Help Required on Raw Material forecast

Hi,
I am not an SAP consultant/ technical user, i am just a helpless user.
What i am faced with is that i dont get to see RM requirements for future months based on the forecast/sales plan for finished goods entered in the system. I am just able to see decent requirements for the running month but very less/inaccurate requirements for the remaining months. it seems as if while calculating, the system does not take into account if anything is being sold or will be sold at all. I might be wrong but this seems to be the case.
I view the planned requirements in COOISPI and the requisitions in MD04.
The current MRP type set is:PD
Please help as to how to fix this issue or how do i guide the I.T department who themselves are not sure of a one track solution to this issue.
Thanks.

Anup,
Thank you for reverting back.
You got it right.
To verify how the system is working i have the pp rep upload the same sales plan for 5 months. So that we get to know what results to expect each month.
What they currently are doing (detail with T-code):
Uploading sales plan to the active version through t-code MCZS
Converting this to the active version through t-code OLIX
Re organizing the PIRs through t code MD74
Converting the sales plan to demand plan through MC8G
Running the MPS/MRO through MD40
Once the MRP with sales plan for the future months inserted is run then i can see planned orders for future months in MD04 and COOISPI (planned orders are same in both reports, COOISPI just provides a better view without looking at the purchase requisitions) so basically i am considering the planned orders as my forecast at the moment.
I have tried comparing the values with the sales plan. The sales plan and planned orders after the MRP run do match but after the second month on wards. So for the first month the requirement is huge (safety stock+second month's requirement) and then as per the sales plan from second month on wards, the requirements end one month in advance to the sales plan (while viewing MD04). At RM level there are huge variations: e.g for an RM with average consumption of say 200 k kgs, i am able to see the first month at 168 k kgs then only 553 kg in the following month, and 1336 kg in the next.
Please let me know what other information you require from me.
Thanks. Highly appreciate your concern.

Raw material forecast

dear Experts
I uploaded the raw material forecast through MD61 but system not generating the planned order.
Can you help me how to get the planned order.

Dear ,
Couple of cheks for you :
1.What is the requirement Type you have choosen the User Paramters in MD61 screen ? It should VSF , version 00 and correct Planning Period , Plant Code .I would suggest you to check the same
2.Which txn are u trying to run the MRP ( MD01 with NETCH , Create PR -2, MRP List : 3 , Schedule Line : 1 , Scvhedluing -1 , Mark Display material before save )
3.Check the Planning File Entry of all those material in MDRE/MDAB/MD21
4.Check the Material Master Paramters : MRP Type -PD , Procumenet Type : F , Planning Startgey : 40 /10
5.Basically , based on Planning Stategy in MRP3 view , you can analysise the Requirement Type : 40 /VSF ( Check in Define Planning Strategy -SPRO-Detailk screen )
One question : Are you executing Total Forcast in MP38 or Indiviaully n then loading into MD61 through MD70 ? Please confirm or just like you are entering Manula Forecast Qty in MD61 table matererial by material ?

Collective requirement of raw material

How we can create the collective requirement for the raw material i.e. when I run the mrp of two finished product.Raw material AW-122 of the finished products are common.So instead of two planned order,Can i get one planned order after mrp.
Regards,
Sunil Patil

Hi Sunil,
Yes it is possible to get one planned order if for that material master in MRP4 screen if you set indicator for Individual/coll. as 2-Collective requirements only then it is done also with this in MRP1 in Lot size also give lotsize keys Fix/weekly/Monthly
Hope this will help you.

Requirement on raw material getting lumped

Hi Gurus.
cananyboduy please exaplain me on why the system is lumping together the requirement on the raw material in too advance.
Here is the example. C is a raw material goes into B (semi finished) which goes into A (finished)
Now there are three dates where we need to build A
07/11/2011 - A - 4000
08/08/2011 - A - 14000
09/06/2011 - A - 15000
Now what happening is all this 33000 of requirement is getting put on C (raw material) with todays date. The question here is why is the system asking us to buy the raw material fior a requriement which is in september.
the planned delivery time on C (raw material) is 10 days, the inhouse production time for B (semi finished) is 10 days, and the inhouse production time of A is 10 days.
So basically why would we need to buy a raw material so much in advance when there is no need. We are operating on a 7day factory calendar.
Please throw some ideas
Thanks
Anusha

Bah I had a similar problem 3 years back. I just vaguely remember the solution had something to with the Lot Size or setting the Individual/Collective indicator to 1.
Sorry can't be of much help atm, but if I recall exactly what I had done will let you know.

[HELP] - Material forecasting!

Hello SAP gurus,
I am using forecasting in one raw material. I am using MRP Type VV and forecast values are maintained in the forecast material view.
When I go to the MD04, system shows message:
- Please carry out forecast for material A in plant B.
- Message no. 61059
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

Query for calculating raw material requirements for the remaining quantities in sale order.

Dear SAP Experts,
Clients requirement :
Client wish to know the quantities of raw materials needs to run the production order inorder to complete the remaining quantities in sale order.
Need Clarification:
I"m using the below query for this requirement. I wish to know whether this query suits for my clients requirement or not. If its so, I need to know how to group by T4.[Code] (Raw material Name) and need to get the sum of T4.[Quantity] (BOM quantity) and (T1.[OpenQty]*T4.[Quantity]) as TOTALQTY under each raw material group
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocDate], T0.[CardCode],T0.[CardName], T1.[ItemCode], T1.[Dscription], T1.[Quantity] as salesorderQty , T1.[OpenQty], T2.onhand, T4.[Code] as Raw material Name,T4.[Quantity] as BOMQTY, (T1.[OpenQty]*T4.[Quantity]) as TOTALQTY FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.[DocEntry] = T1.[DocEntry] INNER JOIN OITM T2 ON T1.[ItemCode] = T2.[ItemCode] INNER JOIN OITT T3 ON T2.[ItemCode] = T3.[Code] INNER JOIN ITT1 T4 ON T3.[Code] = T4.[Father] WHERE T0.[DocStatus] ='o'

Raw material requirement needs to be updated

Hi all,
We are implementing PP and while configuring the WM/PP interface, I have the following requirement from my customer:
After creating and releasing production order 1, it creates T.O. for raw material A in the warehouse with qty 10 (for example).
After confirming the T.O. the raw material moves in the production staging area and is not used yet. Now if we have another Production order 2 using qty 15 of the same raw material, he wants the system to create a T.O. for for the delta qty 5(15-10) because we still have some previous raw material available.
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot
Chaka

Hy,
You need to change your checking rule (T.Code OPJJ)
remove tick from include reservation. or create new checking rule for that perticuller material.
or
If you want to do it temporary purpose then tick final issue for that material in earlier order but it mean that now there is no need of this material for this perticuller order.

Dhaval

Simulated raw material requirement

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to do a simulated planning to get raw material requirement in a list form without creating planned orders ?
If we start from LTP, as per my understanding the moment we copy a planning scenario through MS64 or change through MS32, the plan is taken into operative version. As SAP recommends MS02 or MS01 only after that, the planned orders we are getting should be operative only. So how do we get a simulated requirement of raw materials? Please clarify.
Regards

Hi Mangalraj,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
In other words, can i say that if i have 2 or 3 planning alternatives to choose from on the basis of material analysis, I have to create separate planning scenarios for each of these and run MS01 one by one for each of these scenarios and then against each of these runs i have to do the material analysis and save it for comparison.
Does it also mean that while doing each MS01 run, i have to choose "delete and recreate planning data" till I arrive at the appropriate version to choose from ?
And does it also mean that there is no way to know the material requirement for planning alternatives without doing any MRP run ?

Raw Material & SFG consumption required in different production lines

Hi All,
Customer has 5 different production lines, each line will be handle by different team.
Each production line will consume the same and different combination of Raw material and SFG for different finished products.
Customer wants to track
1. how much of raw material and SFG is consumed for each production line.
2. how much of Finished Product has been produced
3. how much of material is lying at work in progress.
Please suggest,how to map this functionality.
Regards,
Vikram Reddy

Dear Challa,
for this you need to create UDF with choose from list in production order where user should select the appropriate production line in each production order and then you can write simple queries for your reports based on this production line on production order

MRP for FG not looking at Raw Material

HI all,
I'm running MRP for finished goods material against my production plan (created in MD61).   The material has a BOM component but when I run MRP for the FG its not looking at BOM component to consider raw material) availability and thus proposing dates solely based on the Production Plan and not any other requirements.
It simple creates the planned orders based on the production plan entered into MD61. The dates for the planned orders don't take into consideration that on the suggested Production date there is not enough raw material to actual produce the product.
The Production plan does drive requirements to purchase the raw material but the dates are not neccessarily correct to get product to the warehouse on time for production run.
FG set up:
RP Type:                                PD - MRP
Lot Size:                                 EX u2013 Lot-for-lot Order Quantity
Safety Stock:                         125 - EA

How do I get the MRP for the FG to not only create the planned orders from the production plan but also take into consideration raw material availability?   Thanks for your help!!

VC,
I need to the PlndOrd date for FG to take into consideration raw material availability...otherwise it's pretty useless to the site.
I guess you are unfamiliar with the workings of standard MRP. MRP in ECC as delivered by SAP will not support this requirement.
There are a couple of assemble to order strategies that may be suitable for you, if all of your RM materials exist in the FGs BOM. Strat 81 and 82, which are intimately linked to the Sales order ATP check. These strategies are not compatible with FGs forecasts.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/41/19206a45fd11d188ff0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
In SAP ERP, MRP just does not check the availability of components during the MRP run. The Net Requirements calculation of a component part (which is the closest concept within MRP to an Availability check) takes place ONLY after all parent parts are completely planned, and all parent part planned orders have been already been generated and saved. In effect, when MRP is running, information is neither gathered nor considered as to what the planning situation will be for the components.
APO has several solutions that, depending upon the detailed requirements, might provide a solution. A common one is to first run an MRP type heuristic, to create planned orders for all the shortages, and subsequently run a 'Bottom-up' scheduling heuristic to bring supply and demand dates into alignment, based upon pegging information. ERP does not have this functionality.
Of course, SAP ERP is infinitely modifiable. If you have enough time and money, you can write custom code that will torture ERP into filling any Business Requirement.

Finished material forecast

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please clarify my confusion. Our business wants to forecast to the finished material, saying how many will need to be produced in a given time frame. based on this the system will kick the reuqirements down to the level of raw material. Now in MM02 on the forecasting view there is foreacast values button, do we maintain here the forecast values of the finished material that we anticipate to build, Or is it in MD61 - planning table where we maintain the sales forecast. The whole objective of the sales forecast is to make the purchasing dept ready with teh materials that are procured externally to be able to meet the forecast of the finished material. Please help
Thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
It will be better to use MD61 rather than MM02 & Forecast button.
In both cases you can plan Raw Materials using the BOM and the MRP (PP)
If you want to populate the values Manually the MD61 is the transacction
If you want the system to Forecast the values use MM02 + Forecasting.
If you use MD61 that will generate the Planned Independant Requirements (PIR) that will generate the "Issue" of the Finished Goods. You will have to associate the Strategy Group (If you do not know about this start with strategy 40) in MRP 4 view.
Once you have your PIR available for the material MD04 you can run the MRP. Depending on the strategy and some other factors the PIR will disappear as soon as you start createing sales orders for the material.
Kind regards,
Federico

Process to split production order based on the raw material batches

Hi All, below is a business situation which needs some some SAP process to help overcoming this issue.
We are working on process industry, where the core fabric (SFG) are produced from different machines and which are used as raw material in the subsequent process (Coating). Business wants SAP to generate individual planned orders for Coating when it uses this materials
e.g
Current situation.
SFG1 is the component of SFG2
SFG2 is the component of FG.
When the demand for FG is 100, you get 2 planned orders SFG1- 100 yd and SFG2- 100 yds
During production, the Planned order for SFG1 is split for 2 production order each producing 50 yds each.
Now I have SFG1 - 50 yds ( Batch A001), and SFG1- 50 yds ( Batch A002).
Now Business wants SAP to automatically propose 2 order for SFG2, However based on MRP it will only show 1 planned order of 100 yds required for SFG2 since the demand of FG is 100.
We want to split the planned orders of the higher level to look at lower level stock.
Any ideas or thought process.
Regards
Sarvan

Sarvan,
You can have MRP propose two lots of SFG2 based upon lot sizing. For instance, if you always will want SFG2 to have orders of 50 each, then one way to achieve this would be to set the 'maximum lot size' to 50. MRP1 Tab of the material master.
There are other lotsizing methodologies that may be better suited to your business requirements as well.

Report for raw material usage

Hi All,
i need to take the report for the raw material that used in the finished product.
in the finished products, how much the raw materials are used .

Hi Raj,
Option 1. You can get the data from MARD, MAST & STPO tables.
From MARD you can read the unrestricted stock i.e. LABST field.
From MAST, read the finished product i.e. MATNR & WERKS (Material & PLant)
From STPO read the component i.e. IDNRK & MENGE (Component & Qty).
Option 2. You can get the data from MARD, AFKO, RESB tables.
This would give you an exact consumption feedback.
AFKO for production order details. (PLNBEZ for header material).
RESB for components (qty consumed) for the order - Fields MATNR (Component), BDMNG (Req. qty), ENMNG (Withdrawn qty).
You can now build the logic with the required multiplication i guess. If any further info is required, revert back.
If helpful award points

Price list change according to raw material cost

Dear Experts,
We are currently working in a client where for those products for which the raw material is the main component as the cost of the raw materials varies with a high frequency (daily or weekly) the list price (the price we want to invoice to customers) should be updated accordingly and automatically with a specific mark up.
Have you found a similar requirement in any client? If yes, could you explain us from a functional perspective how (SAP standard functionality or custom development with a detailed explanation of the solution) you solved this requirement?
Is there any procedure to do regular massive updates of Finished Good price lists based on the actual variation (and/or expected variation) of raw materials cost?
Thanks in advance for your help.
M.Baig

Hi Baig,
It is possible to determine the price based on the raw material cost. I dont know whether you are using Moving average price or standard price for the raw material cost.
Whatever be the method, when you create the sales order, it is possible to take the raw material cost on the date of order creation using one of teh cost condition types like VPRS. You can use this condition type as statistical.
You can also have another condition type which is the mark up on this cost.
Now you can calculate your grossprice using another condition type which total up the cost in VPRS condition type adn the mark up %, either through just configuration or by means of a calculation type routine created in VOFM adn then assigning the same for the gross price condition type.
I you have any concerns, pls lemme know.

How to update only Raw material cost(CK11n) in Material Master ?

Hi Everybody,
My client has a requirement where only raw material costs from the BOM should get updated in Material Master (Accounting 1 view in Standard Price field).
But in Receipe & BOM for the Process Order, the client wants all Packing Materials and activites to be maintained.
Pls help me in this regards,
Ankita

Hi Jagdish,
Let me put it this way to explain you my problem.
When running CK11n,
Total Cost is =
Total Raw Materials used Cost = QTY from BOM * Price from Material Master
+
Total Packing Materials used Cost = QTY from BOM * Price from Material Master
+
Total Utility cost = Qty from receipe * price in KP26
When viewing the cost componenet view in CK11n tcode, I can view the break up as follows
Raw Material Cost = XX rs
Packing Material Cost = XX rs
Overheads = XX rs
Total cost = sum of all above XX rs ( this is the cost which gets updated when realasing price thru t code CK40n)
But my client wants that at time of price relase, system should relase only total raw materil cost as standard price for the Finished Good in Material Master Accounting 1 view.
I hope now you are getting me.
Regards,
Ankita
