Issue in assigning new Planning Calendar for MRP.

Hello Experts
I have trouble in setting up new Planning calendar for S&OP and MRP process. Let me explain in details
Requirement is, currently I am using standard country specific Factory calendar format (monthly period) per plant. But new requirement has came up and Company wants to change beginning and end of period (monthly) -- as shown below
Current Calendar
1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014
1 Aug to 31 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
and so on..
New requirement is ( Last week of Friday is end of Period)
Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014
Sat 26 July to Fri 29 Aug = Period 2 - 2014
Sat 30 Aug to Fri 3 Oct = Period 3 - 2014
and so on..
(basic concept is to keep
4wk, 5wk, 5wk for Quarter 1
4wk, 4wk, 5wk for Quarter 2. and so on.. )
I have setup new planning calendar in MD25..
ie. min period, start of period not a working day, Calculation rule & Period etc...
then assigned new planning calendar in MM02 - MRP2 and also in MRP1 used Lot size PK... etc..
But when i Put demand in MC88.. which gives us std month format and transfer to DM, then Ran MRP but some how MRP is not creating correct Qty in planned demand as per new calender..
i.e.. 1 July to 31 July = period 1 - 2014 if total demand Qty for Material XYZ is : 50
I am expecting planned demand result in MRP as... Sat 28 June to Fri 25 July = Period 1 - 2014 - should be 50 in total.. but It's not..
Any reason? Or I am missing some settings?
Thank you in advance..
PC...

Thanks KK/Umesh
Business wants planning calendar in this format. And Fiscal Year Variant has also been set according to new calendar.
KK, Regarding MC88 there is no option to incorporate planning calendar into S&OP process. And Organisation's S&OP process is set from day one (Planning by ProdGrp/Material) so MD61 would not be a good option to use.
Umesh, regarding "start of period not a working day", I have selected "do not displace". And 27/09 and 27/12 dates are set holiday. The major issue here is: Not every 4th Sat of month is Period start day, MRP is picking new planning calendar (defined in above table) from the system But some how when transferring forecast data from planning table to demand management (MC88), system don't recognize new planning calendar and it distributes demand over weekly bucket per regular month Calendar instead of new planning calendar..
Some how I need to incorporate new planning calendar into S&OP setup somewhere, Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Creating a New Forecasting profile for MRP

Hi there,
Please can somebody let me know how do I create a new Forecasting profile for MRP.
I want to see this in table MRPR once created. (field PROPR).
Kind Regards,

Dear marelizen
Use transactio code MP80.
Creating a Profile
The information contained in this info object is relevant to the material master for industry and to the article master for retail. Retail customers are requested to substitute:
article for material
requirements planning for material requirements planning or MRP
1. In the Material Master menu, choose Profile ® MRP profile or Forecast profile ® Create.
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the name you want to give the profile.
If you want to use an existing profile as a reference, enter its name under Copy from so that the system can copy its values to the new profile.
3. Choose Selection screen.
The selection screen appears. It shows all the fields that can be copied to the MRP or Forecasting screen in the material master record.
4. Enter a profile description and select the fields you want the profile to contain, specifying whether each field is to be copied to the material master record as a fixed value or as a default value.
It is not possible to select Fixed lot size and Maximum stock level in a single MRP profile. However, if you select Maximum stock level, you must also select Lot size (materials planning).5. Choose Data screen.
MRP profile data is spread over two screens. To switch from one screen to the other, choose Data screen 1 or Data screen 2.
When you access the data screen from the selection screen, the system checks whether the fields selected are allowed to appear in the same profile.
The data screen appears, containing only the fields you selected on the selection screen. The fixed values and default values are displayed in different colors. All fixed values are required fields except where the field can also be left blank.
If, in the forecast profile, you enter N or 0 as the forecast model, no forecast is made.
Like forecast model N, if you enter forecast model 0 when maintaining a forecast profile, you will be unable to maintain any other field in the profile.
Unlike forecast model N, forecast model 0 deletes any existing forecast values when you change the material. This ensures that these values are no longer included in materials planning.
6. Enter the corresponding values and save the profile.
If the system detects inconsistencies or errors, it asks you to change the fields selected on the selection screen and/or to correct the values. Otherwise, the initial screen appears, where you can begin to create another profile.
warm regards

Planned order with Lot size and Planning Calendar in MRP

Hi All
I request your help in understanding MRP results in below mentioned scenario:
Material: A
Planning Calendar: D1 (Monday only)
MRP Type: PD
Lot size: Z1 (this is copy of PK with Period Start = Start Date)
Safety Days Time: 3
Safety time indicator: 2
In house Production time: 1
I am running MRP with
NETCH
Planning mode: 3 (Delete and recreate planning)
scheduling: 2 (lead time scheduling)
"My PIRs are:
"Date--------------------PIR   -----Receipt------Avail Qty------ATP Qty ----Actual Cover
"Friday :08.4.11" ---- "-100"   ------ "0" ----   "-100.00" ------ "0" ----   "-5"
"Monday: 11.4.11" --- "-200" ----- "0" -----    "-300.00" ------ "0" ----- "-2"
"Wed      : 12.4.11" --- "0" ---- "370" ---------- "70.00" --------"20"----- "5"
"Thursday 14.4.11" --- "-50" ------ "0" -------- "20.00" ------- "0" ------"3"
"Saturday 16.4.11" -- "-10" ---------- "0" ------- "0.00" -------- "10" ----- "1"

"Friday      29.4.11" --- "-100" ---- "0" ------ "0" -------- "0" -------- "0"
I am executing MRP on 7.04.11
As shown above the, can you please explain why the planned order is on Wed 12th and it covers 5 days requirement and similarly Tuesday 19th and covers 6 days.
I am not able to relate the relation between Planning calendar and Lot size procedure used. Also what would happen if I make planning calendar valid for two days in a week.
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Thanks dear
Yes you are right the Planning Calendar starts 18.4.11 and ends 24.4.11
Now as far as first planned order is concerned I thought it should be scheduled to start&end on Monday 11.04.11, rather it starts&ends on Tuesday 12.4.11. Also the actual coverage days goes up to 5 days even though its maintained for 3 days.
Similarly the second planned order also comes up on Tuesday 19.04.11 and covers 6 days (more than the setting and planning Calendar of only Monday)
On the whole this is confusing me on Lot size and Planning Calendar relation and how it impacts MRP. Can you please help me on this.
Also if you can throw some details on: how to restrict MRP to give planned order only on, say, Monday and Thursday, as only then it could be produced.
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Error determining planning periods for calendar

Hello SAP Guru's
We are receiving the above error when trying to go into MD04 for a particular material. we have checked the forecast agains the planning calendar and the dates in the forecast and demand planning are approximately 2 years less than the end date in the planning calendar.
Checking SAP it has said to extend the planing calendar past the planning horizon. It is already extended past the planning horizon.
The only issue with this product is that the material will soon be superseded by another material, this has a different calendar assigned to it. Could this be the problem?
Any info gratefully received.
Thanks
Sue

Hello Vicky,
The error occurs when first going into MD04. The exact error message is as follows:
Error determining planning periods for calendar M14
Message no. 61123
Diagnosis
The system could not determine sufficient planning periods by the planning calendar to group requirements by planning calendar periods for all the requirements planned in the future.
System Response
When a material is planned by using the periodical lot size by planning calendar, sufficient periods must be calculated to group requirements by the planning calendar for all requirements.
Procedure
Rework the planning calendar with which the material was planned, which means calculate new planning calendar periods.
To do this, go to Customizing for MRP, under the activity Change PPC periods.

Can MRP only create planned orders for ROH, not for FERT?

HI all,
Is there any way to only generate planned orders for raw materials after MRP, forbid creating planned orders for FERT?
We want create planned orders for FERTs manually.
Thanks,
Harvey

Harvey,
Yes, that was also my understanding of your scenario. Did you try X0 for Fert? Run MRP against the entire plant, and MRP will not create any new planned orders for the X0 parts. It will explode the BOM and create dependent requirements in the components. In addition, you can create FERT planned orders manually, or using an external planning system, and these manually created orders will also create dependent demand on your components.
If you are also using Sales orders to consume your PIR, you will also have to look at requirements determination for Sales orders. This is configured based on MRP type. If you change existing MRP types, you may have to add SD config so as to continue to pass requirements to MRP. Your SD resource should be able to help you through this, or I can give you basic instructions if you decide that the PIR/demand/planned order/dependent requirements works to your satisfaction.

Remove PR Mandatory for PO and Assign new PO Layout to one User

Hi Experts,
I want to remove PR mandatory for PO and assign new PO Layout for one User. I am facing following problem.
1. I have already created a function authorisation Z1 with reference to PR and assign the same in SU01, Paramenter EFB - Z1.
Now I have removed ref to purchase requisition tick and assign new PO layout in Z1.
But ref to PR not removed, and new po layout is not coming.
What should I do.
Thanks in advance.

Separate Doc.Type for MRP generated PRs

Dear All
We are facing an issue with MRP process where we want to automate the process from MRP run to PO creation.
In source list we will add the existing contracts and make it relevant to MRP so that after MRP run we will get source (vendor defined in the contract) assigned purchase requisitions. After that, we will create a background job for ME59n in order to get the POs automatically after MRP run.
In this process we are facing issue with the auto PO generation through ME59n as funds management (FM) related parameters such as Fund and Fund center need to be enetered manually at the time of PO creation in our system. So in order to avoid this manual entry we want to define FM derivation which automatically populate the fund & fund center in the MRP generated PRs.
Further, we have two options for FM derivation one is valuation class and the second one is Document type. If we define the FM derivation based on the valuation class we cannot only restrict to MRP generated PRs. Second option is separate document type for MRP generated PRs.
Please provide pros and cons regarding the creation of new document type for MRP. Also, please provide your suggestions or any work arounds for the above discussed scenario. Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi nagaraj
it makes sense . i will explore and tell you.
what about your source assignment standard program. hope it will assign source of supply if it is a valid unique source of supply else it will assign eprofile to your purcase request. check with technical resource how the satndard program behaves.
i will also explore my side again. check mm forum too on your purchase organisation assignment for your userexists.
one question to you.
when you create a PR for material and go to source of supply .why do we get many fixed vendors like contracts,info record if we have valid fixed vendors as sap ecc standard.but in my PR i may not have Purchase organisation information.

MTO - how to prevent a second planned order for a sales order?

Dear friends,
We are working on Make to Order process (Planning strategy group 20).
No Production/process order is used
Shop floor uses a different system --> details from planned order is passed to the shop floor system; and finished product is delivered/posted into SAP Sales order stock - through interfaces
No QM in place
A typical day-to-day scenario
Sales order Qty = 100
MRP Run à Planned order qty = 100
Raw materials posted to Sales order stock
Planned order is firmed
For example if Produced qty = 90
sales order stock of the finished product = 90
Balance 10 cannot be produced / delivered for various reasons
Planner posts the raw material to cost center / rejections / own stock etc., and ensures that the sales order stock of the raw materials are zero.
Planner deletes the planned order
Next MRP run triggers a new planned order for the balance qty 10
Now, the requirement is to prevent the new planned order getting generated for the balance quantity, during the subsequent MRP run (despite the shortage in the Sales order stock of the finished product).
The following options have been evaluated
Once the final good receipt is done & before deleting the planned order,
o       Change the Sales order quantity to match the total produced quantity
o       (or) Change the schedule line category for the Sales order item from CP to CN
§         Since the Sales order and planned order are handled by different teams, considering the frequency of correspondence/coordination needed between these two teams to get the sales order items corrected, this idea is not accepted
§         Additional authorization for the planner to change the sales order item is not acceptable
Include Under delivery / Unlimited tolerances
o       at the customer (master) level
o       (or) Sales order level
§         In this case, System seems to consider the tolerances only when the delivery for the Sales order is posted; and not when the sales order stock is received within the tolerance limits;
§         Considering the time gap between the GR and Delivery of the finished product, this option is not accepted
Kindly suggest the other options / settings / processes, to meet this requirement
Thank you for your time and efforts.
With Best Regards,
Senthil

Function Module to find date by passign the Planning Calendar

Hi All,
Can you tell me is there any function Module to find date by passign the Planning Calendar?
The requirement is i have a planning calender assigned to the Material in the MRP2 view.
Example: Material XXXXXX is assigned a Planning Calendar Z01.
Z01 is defined such that Delivery is on Monday only. This calendar says that the material is received from the Vendor only on Mondays.
So whenever i punch a Sales Order for Material XXXXXX, a PR is automatically geenrated when saving the sales order and the calculation of Delivery dates is also happening at this level.
Basing on this PR a PO is raised to a Vendor for procuring the Material XXXXXX, now my problem is for example the PO is raised today (30.04.2008), but the Materail XXXXXX is available only on next monday in my plant (05.05.2008) basing on my Planning Calendar assigned in the Materail Master, so i have to inform this dealy to my customer at the time of punching the sales order.
So is there any function Module to find date by passign the Planning Calendar?
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Sudarshan

Hi Jorge,
Thanks for your reply.
I am unable to open the Function module which you have mentioned below.
I am working on 4.6 c version of SAP.
Any ways i have found one function module which is useful to my requirement as stated below:

Planned Order for a Product not being shown

Hi Experts!!
I am an ABAPer and I am new to SAP APO. We are now working on /SAPAPO/PPT1. When clicked on some quantity, all the planned orders existing for that product are being shown with respective quantities. Now, I am trying to create a new planned order for a product through FM BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 by splitting the quantity among the receipts. I have gone through several posts and have written the logic. But the newly created planned order is not being shown in /SAPAPO/PPT1. I can't find it anywhere. Am I doing something wrong here?
Here I explain it with an example. I have an aggregated entry for the month of June with quantity 3000, which is already split under receipts 1234 and 1235 as 1000 and 2000 EA respectively. Now, I need to split it as 1000 EA for each planned order and hence am creating a new plord. I am using same FM for changing plords as well with quantities as 1000. So, now both the receipts are being shown with quantity 1000 and the aggregated value as 2000... and the newly created one is missing. But I need the new one to be displayed and the aggregated should be 3000. Why is this happening? Am I missing something?
I already have posted a query that is related to this total requirement. Change Receipt Quantity for Planned Order in LiveCache . This has the first part of the total requirement. Just provided for extra info, but not related to this issue however.
Please help me out. Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!!

Hi Srinivas,
With prior experience, i am sure that the BAPI SAVEMULTI3 can be used for Creation & Change.
I dont think,the FM's which you are using, are recommended by SAP. So , try to use BAPI most of the time,as it ensure data consistency.
As you told, order is not flown to ECC, but visible in APO, i would suggest you to check the importing parameters of the bapi, like EVENT CONTROL ( should be '1' ).
and COMMIT_CONTROL(should be 'E').
Also, check your queues after execution of bapi. you should find your change pointer in the inbound queue of R/3 System. Do let me know if you still stuck.
Thanks,
Santosh KB.

Choose change groups
Here you will find the transaction types are split into number range groups.You cannot change the transaction types but you can change the number range intervals or assign transaction types tp new groups.

Define new document type for purchase order

Hello
I want to create a new document type for purchase ordre with also new number range.
And within my conditions, the shopping card will be generate either document type ECPO with number range 44 or document type ZOS with number range 33.
The document type is still a purchase order.
Is it possible to do that? To assign new document type for purcharse order?
If yes, is there any Badi to put my conditions of generation of my document type?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Peggy

Hi Markus
Thank you four your response. Unfortuntly, i do not want to create a new transaction type.
It is still a purchase order which could be visibled in standard transaction. The behaviour is still like standard PO, and could be visible in standard transaction PO.
I just want to create 2 types of purchases orders to identify them, so create a new number range and so a new document type for purchase order..
I have a condition to do "the shopping card will be created in this document type, and this schopping card will be created in this document type".
But standard document type is ECPO, and I don't really know if it is possible to create new document type for purchase order...
Peggy.
