Hi,

Rescheduling sales and stock transfer documents: by material
Description
The 'Rescheduling' program (SDV03V02) processes sales document items that are contained in the item directory for the material. It takes into consideration open items and schedule lines from stock transfer items, stock transfer scheduling agreements and purchase order requests (items only), referred to hereafter as stock transfer documents, for the materials.
All sales documents for the material that are still open are selected. This means that the material index must be activated for at least all sales document types, whose items may have requirements. All stock transfer documents or items for the material that are still open are also selected. Open in this case means for example, that there is no deletion indicator, that the item from a stock transfer purchase order request cannot be labeled as completed or that the quantity delivered and posted to goods issue for the item in a stock transfer purchase order is the same as the amount ordered. An availability check can only be carried out if a checking rule is assigned to the document type - if this is not the case, the document or document item is not checked.
Checking rule 'A' is used as a basis for rescheduling sales orders (exceptions to this are rush orders  they use checking rule B, and orders with individual customer stock; they use checking rule AE). Stock transfer documents use the checking rule that is assigned in Customizing for Purchasing. It is important that the scope of checks is consistent for both the stock transfer documents and the sales documents and that they do not exclude each other, as this can lead to incorrect test results. An example of an incorrect setting would be: The scope of check for checking rule 'A' checks delivery schedules for stock transfer purchase orders and stock transfer purchase requests, however the scope of check for the checking rule for the stock transport scheduling agreement does not.
The items and schedule lines found in the selection are sorted according to 'Priorities' - document category, delivery priority, creation date of the item or schedule line (for stock transfer purchase orders and delivery plans) entered on the selection screen or according to the schedule line date of the earliest schedule line with order quantity, document number and item number and then transferred to the availability check. Priority 1 is highest priority and priority 5 the lowest. Stock transfer purchase order requests are sorted after stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements, as they are less binding. This means that when you have identical sort criteria such as delivery dates, the stock transfer purchase order item is checked first and then the item from the stock transfer purchase order request.
The preset option 'Unconfirmed documents required' only carries out rescheduling for materials for which there is at least one unconfirmed transaction.
You can use the parameters 'Sorting criteria delivery date' to define whether sorting is carried out with the order quantity after the creation date of the item or the delivery date of the earliest schedule line.
If you mark the 'Simulation' field, the checked documents are not saved. Instead a results list is generated and saved. However, the availability check for the corresponding documents continues as if saving has taken place already, that is, that the simulated list corresponds to the actual one.
Under 'Options' on the selection screen, specify whether sales documents and/or stock transfer documents should be processed. For stock transfer documents you can enter whether stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements should be processed at item or schedule line level:
Processing at item level:
All open schedule lines for the item are read and collected, then transferred to the availability check. To sort and prioritize documents, you do not need each individual schedule line. It is sufficient to have the item or data from the first schedule line. All open schedule lines for the item are processed and checked.
Example of processing at item level:
Sorting: Date (Delivery date first schedule line) - Document number - Document item
Doc. cat. Doc. number  Doc. item  Doc. schedule line  Delivery date PO        4500000012      10               0001              26.01. PO        4500000012      10               0002              26.02. PO        4500000025      20               0001              28.01. PO        4500000025      20               0002              02.02.
You can see that the second schedule line for document 4500000025/20 from 02.02 was processed after the second schedule line for document 4500000012/10 from 26.02. This is because all open schedule lines for an item are read and processed. The first schedule line from 4500000012/10 has the earliest delivery date, therefore it has priority.
Processing at schedule line level:
Each open schedule line for an item is entered in document sorting in accordance with the values entered under 'Priorities'. The availability check is carried out for each individual schedule line.
Example for processing at schedule line level:
Sorting: Date (delivery date first schedule line) - document number -document item
Doc. cat.    Doc. number  Doc. item  Doc. sched. line  Del. date PO           4500000012    10             0001           26.01. PO           4500000025    20             0001           28.01. PO           4500000025    20             0002           02.02. PO           4500000012    10             0002           26.02.
Here you can see that each schedule line was sorted according to its delivery date. Note that this type of processing requires more runtime due to the individual checks and more frequent saving.
The results of rescheduling are saved, as long as the program was not started in simulation mode. When calling up from the 'Sales' area menu or when directly starting via the development environment, the iniator is informed via a dialog box that he has just started a process that changes data. He can then decide whether or not he wants to continue.
Checking procedure for stock transfer documents:
An availability check of stock transfer documents in rescheduling is carried out in accordance with the check carried out when manually creating a document. If, however, the required quantity for a schedule line is not available on a particular date and will not be ready until later, new schedule lines are created for the stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements, containing the relevant data. New items are created in this case for stock transfer purchase order requirements. The total sum of schedule line quantities for a processed schedule line corresponds to the schedule line quantity of the original schedule line.
First example: Using a stock transfer purchase order item with a schedule line:
a) Status of item before rescheduling run:
Del. date  PO quantity   Confirmed quant  Confirmed del. date 23.07.      50 items       0 items              -
==> This now affects the stock/requirement situation:
    - Goods issue is posted for the material in the delivering plant on the 23.07.
    - A purchase order of 10 items was created for the material in the delivering plant. Delivery is expected on the 29.07.
b) Status of stock transfer purchase order item after rescheduling run:
Del. date PO quantity   Confirmed quant   Confirmed del. date 23.07.     40 items      40 items            23.07. 29.07.     10 items      10 items            29.07.
==> The first schedule line was changed in accordance with the results of the rescheduling availability check. Only 40 of the 50 original items could be delivered on the 23.07. Therefore, a new schedule line is created for the rest on the 29.07. for 10 confirmed items.
Second example: Same output situation as the above example.
==> There is now a change in the requirement/stock situation:
A purchase order for 10 items is created for the material in the delivering plant. Delivery is expected on the 29.07. A further purchase shows another 40 planned items on the 30.07.
   Status of stock transfer purchase order item after rescheduling run:
Del. date PO quantity  Confirmed quant  Confirmed del. date 29.07.     10 items       10 items          29.07. 30.07.     40 items       40 items          30.07.
==> The first schedule line was changed in accordance with the result of the availability check for rescheduling. The original delivery date is set to the date confirmed in the ATP check. A new schedule line is created for the remaining 40 items, that are available on the 30.07.
Note:
Any set fixed delivery date and quantity indicators and creation indicators for schedule lines or items are 'inherited' by newly created schedule lines. Assuming that the original schedule line was fixed in the above example (since it is created manually), this indicator is also set for the newly created schedule line.
If shipping scheduling is activated for a stock transfer document type, this is also implemented for newly created schedule lines, with the exception of route schedule determination. This means that in the current version of the program no route schedule has been determined for a schedule line containing a route schedule for which new schedule lines may need to be created.
The results of the run are issued in the form of a list, which is also saved, so that the results can be controlled at a later date. This is done using the function 'Evaluate rescheduling', but it is only a good idea to do this after the first rescheduling has taken place. You can restrict selection requirements but these can however affect the runtime. You can use this function to analyze the saved list until the next rescheduling run, which writes over the result. If you start rescheduling in the background, a spool file with the result list referred to will be created in the corresponding setting. You can see this in spool management.
Output
A list of changed documents, a list of documents in which an error occurred during processing and as a result were not changed, can be called up via the menu 'Edit - Error log'. If in a subsequent evaluation a restricted selection is carried out, a note appears at the end of the list to say that not all document items are displayed.
You can set the scope of the list under the menu option 'List' in the list display. You can view improvements, deteriorations and the whole list. Before the documents can be included in one or either of the restricted lists, the date or quantity has to have changed so that the item can be contained in both the list of improved or deteriorated documents.
You can use the interface for changing transactions and the order list to navigate. Use 'Back' to exit the list and 'New selection' to return to the selection screen.
Recommendation
You should only start this program occasionally and use very restricted selectin criteria during working hours as it requires enormous system resources.
Note
The columns for 'New date' and 'New confirmed qty' only contain entries if the dates or quantities have changed.
As the system only runs the change check (dates/quantities) per line in the original list, an item whose backlog has increased in the list of improvements. This occurs, for example, if the whole quantity can be delivered at once but at a later date. In this situation, the system determines an increase for the line when it compares quantities.

    hi,
    In make-to-order production with cost management using a project, all costs and revenues relating to the make-to-order item are collected and allocated to a project in the SAP Project System. The costs are allocated to profitability analysis.
    Prerequisites
    Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group and the strategy group in the material master record.
    Up to Release 3.0, the requirements type is determined on the basis of the item category. For this reason, special item categories are used up to Release 3.0 for controlling make-to-order production. To carry out make-to-order production for a material with cost management using the project, you must maintain the following fields in the material master:
    MRP 1
    MRP Group
    MRP 2
    Strategy Group
    Screen
    Field
    In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.
    for detailed set up please refere the foll link:

  • Activating Pricing for Sales Order in Retail

    Hi All/Vijay/KK,
    Please tell me how activate the pricing for sales order, actually in SD we do Pricing Determination, what has to be done for Retail pricing

    Hi,
    To do sales order pricing
    Goto IMG>Sales & Distribution>Basic Functions>Pricing>Pricing Control
    Either Follow Standard, condition type PR00
    or in case of Custom
    1. Use condition table 406 Site/article
    2. Define Access Sequences ZPR0
    Enter accesses:10 406 Site/article Exclusive x
    3. Define Condition Types (ZPR0 assign newly defined access sequence)
    4. Define And Assign Pricing Procedures (assign condition types ZPR0..etc. to it)
    Then maintain condition record , go to VK11 --> Enter your Z condition type (eg. ZPR0)., enter the amounts.
    Add the pricing procedure , to sales document type.
    For Retail Sales Pricing
    For Retail Sales Pricing based on Purchase pricing you can follow the following method:
    The retail price is always based on the purchase net/net price. This purchase net price is built up from the purchasing pricing elements or condition types defined to be included in the purchase net price. A planned mark-up is applied to the purchase net/net to calculate the proposed retail price. The planned mark-up can be set by merchandise category and for exceptions, more specifically by article.
    You can perform Two-step calculation for retail pricing, for example, for stores that are supplied by a distribution center (internal vendor). Calculating sales prices for the stores is based on the transfer price for distribution centers (preceding organizational unit).
    1. Set up Master Data (WB02) - Relevant Fields should be maintained
    2. Set up Article Master Data - Logistics DC and Store View (MM42)
    Relevant Fields should be maintained
    3. Maintain Mark up for DC(VK11) -Markup % at Distribution channel distribution chain level
    Mark ups maintained at two levels:
    For DC: At distribution chain level
    Condition type used: AUFS
    For Stores: At article level
    New condition type ZUFS created.
    4. Maintain Mark up for Stores (VK11) Markup % at Store distribution chain level
    5 Create Pricing Procedures (IMG) -Pricing Procedures created
    6. Carry out Price calculation for DC(VKP5) - Pricing Document created - DC Transfer price calculated
    7. Carry out Price calculation for Stores (VKP5) - Pricing Document created - Final Retail Price Calculated
    The final retail price that is calculated is stored in the condition type VKP0.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,

  • How to find out Enhancement details for Sales Order

    Hello,
    Follwing is the scenerio:
    As soon as Third Party Sales Order created, Header Billing block gets triggered (from Sales Doc settings in VOV8).
    In Sales Order there are 4 items of items:
    1. Hardware Material (Price) with Item Category, say A
    2. Hardware Material (Free-of-Charge) with item category, say B
    3. Service Material (Price) with Item Category, say C
    4. Service Material (Free-of-Charge) with item category, say D
    Now there is another billing block, at item level, for Hardware Material (Price) - item cat. A, ONLY.
    I checked item cat. in VOV7, and this block is not configured there.
    Sales Order saved (with pop-up message - Maintain Serial No. for Material, but as it's third party Order, stock is not in Inventory, so no Serial number at this point of time). PR triggered upon saving the Order. from PR, PO gets generated,and then MIRO.
    Now, as vendor Invoice received with Stock details (Manufacturer's Serial No.), we go to VA02 and maintain Serial No. (Extra --> Serial No.) for all 4 types of material (Pls note that Billing block is for Hardware Price Material, but we need to maintain Serial No. for all 4 types of material) and save order.
    As soon as, serial no. maintained, item level billing block gets removed for Hardware (price) material, automatically.
    I need to understand how this functionality has been achieved?
    More precisely how and where i can see the technical details, like What program is being developed, which user-exit is being used etc...
    Thanks.

    Hi Sumitra,
    Since the system exit handler has to call your BADI  go to SE24 and display
    CL_EXITHANDLER
    Chose method get_instance and set a break point.
    And, then press F8, so it will show all the Badi's.
    Regard's,

  • How to control automatic rescheduling of sales order?

    Hi all,
    Could u please help me out to configure  to control  automatic rescheduling of sales order...
    eg.  I created a order on 13th March  and the material was not available, then its was kept pending.  But when the stocks got added on 19th March,  the sales order got automatically rescheduled for 19th March.
    I wish to stop this.   Might have to do something  with setting planned indepentent requirements which seems updating  the order automatically.
    Can anyone urgently help me out to control this automatic rescheduling?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ravey
    For your query , it is better not to change the Include sales requirements in OVZ9 as it will affect the entire sales order . But as per your ticket you have to customize in OVZ9 by not checking the Include sales requirements box only
    But instead of that it is advisable to run V_V2 and change the date manually

  • How to update SIS Structure S503 table for Sales Order

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where i want to restrict S503 table getting updated for an Item Category. Can somebody please help me in this.
    Complete scenario:
    I am splitting Sales Order line item into multiple Sub Line items based on batch determination. So for a line item 10 in Sales Order having ordered quantity 1000 i have 2 more sub line items 101 and 102 based on 2 available batches having 500 quantites each. When Sales Order is saved S503 have 1 entry for SO created but the ordered and confirmed quantity is doubled as it is picking it from main line item 10 as well as from 101 and 102.
    Is there any way to restrict the main line item entry quantity from getting in to SIS structures.
    Thanks,
    Sudhir.

    Hi,
    There is a change in the requirement.
    Scenario:
    I have created a sales order with some 4 condition types, in that 2 condition types are of class A & B and the other two is of class C. Here I need to update the condition price of class A & B only and the remaining condition types should not get update even though there is an updated price is available.
    For the above scenario, I need to write a standalone program. Do we have any function modules to update the price of the single condition in the sales order? Please tell me how we can update the sales order at item condition level.
    Thanks.

  • How to hide variant configuration screen in sales order

    Hi Friends,
    Could you please help : how to hide variant configuration screen in sales order for a configured material
    Ranjan

    Hi
    The very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION is to for this material these are the characteristics available
    In this you choose one characteristic then these are the values available
    If you make a choice then this is the price
    Means Maruthi car is the product
    Say 800
           Alto
           Zen
    These are characteristics
    In this you choose say black, cherry red, white these are the values
    When you put a sales order for Maruthi car then if it is 800 black colour then price is X
    if it is 800 white colour then price is y
    So that according to the choice of the customer the pricing and other details are fetched
    Why do you want to defeat the very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION
    Rather than listing out of the whole product list the system simplifies the thing
    Without that popup variant configuration is meaningless
