Issue in determining Low level codes

Hi Gurus,
We are having an issue running heuristics when running along with Temporary low level codes. We are in SCM 7.0 environment.
The SNP Heuristics jobs are failing with this message "Low-level code
not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
Also, the message in the job log for the product in was flagged for deletion and I am not too sure why is this being picked up for processing and then failing?
I tried using SDP relevance as '1' for the product flagged for deletion for testing purposes and then the program is not considering this SKU, but stopping at another SKU and also that SKU is flagged for deletion. But the flip side of using SDP relevance is that that setting is at global level andmay have issues where the SKU is active.
I have couple questions:
1) Is there a way for the program to skip the code which has an error and move forward instead of failing the job? and provide a spool with error codes.Also, to provide the LLC number for all the correct SKU's instead of failing at that point and not generating the LLC's?
2) Why is the program also considering the codes which are flagged for deletion which should not be the case?
Also, I tried another way of maintaining the codes in thevariant which are not flagged for deletion and tried running heuristics in the background but failed at a point and it gave a message stating Low-level code not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX, Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
But the product which was displayed in the job log is an active SKU. I am not too sure why the job failed with this error?
I tried running that individual SKU in the background including the temporary determination of LLC, it was successful. I am not too sure why it failed when it was a part of selection?
Any suggestions, would really help us a lot.
Thanks and regards,
Murali

Hi Datta - Thanks for the replies. I was able to have a workaround by using selection profiles excluding the Procurement type 'P' and it worked.
At our client, whenever a product is made 'non-X0' in ECC, procurement type is set to 'P' and by excluding that piece in the variant I was able to continue with my processing.
But still, don't you think the products which are flagged for deletion shouldn't be picked up heuristics?
Thanks and regards,
Murali

SNP - Issue with PDS as source of supply in low-level code run

Hi All:
I have a bunch of PDS that is giving me the following message when the SNP Low-level code is run:
''Invalid source 00000010382991380SLT1 S is not considered for low-level code calculation. The source of suppy 00000010382991380SLT1 S is available actively in the Supply Chain Model. The location product for which the source of supply is intended, does not exist, however, or is no longer assigned to the model. The source of supply is therefore invalid. ''
I tried all of the following but still did not get to work
1. Made sure that FG and all the active component of one FG and the location and the PDS were in an active model.
2. Made sure that there was one production version and hence one PDS
3. Intialiazed the Planning area with the version
But still would not generate the low level code for the product location. Can some one throw share some insight and help pl?
Thanks
Ryan

Could you please check whether in the Product Master, Procurement tab, the Procurement Type is set as "P - external procurement planning"? If yes, then that's the reason as the Low-Level Code is only calculated for Products that are to be planned in APO. In this case, change procurement type to X or E and it should work.

I need to allocate low-level code to a material while creating in mm01..

hi experts,
In the material master record, each material is allocated one low-level code (field L.Lvl Code) which is determined by the bill of material (BOM) management program.I couldnt find this field in any of the tabs while creating the master record.So can u plz help me out to find this.
Thanks in advance..

Ramesh,
You cannot create an LL code entry in MM01. The purpose of MM01 is to create Material masters. LL code is managed by the system, automatically, during BOM maintenance. SAP does not give the users the ability to edit LL codes.
It is unwise to attempt to change LL codes. Improper entries in this field could lead to MRP results that will not meet your business requirements. You should generally let SAP automatically manage this data for you.
In the case where you believe you have an incorrect LL code, SAP does have some OSS notes that apply. Start with [544489|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/544489].

Low level code

hi
while configuring SNP planning run -SAPAPO/SNP01 screen under object selection >manual selection i could see planning version, product, location and low-level code....
1. what is the significance of this parameter low level code ?
2. how it reacts to the planning run ?
my guess is that it takes into account all the tail end level of the BOM that belongs to the product ..but am not sure ..since it is 000/production server i dont want to experiment
Please help me understand the science behind low level code,can you please suggest an easy to understand link or material
thanks

Hi Rahul,
The low level code the position of a particular location product in a supply chain. SNP heuristics use it to determine the correct planning sequence. This is particular important if you are running "Location Heuristics" and putting the location products in the selection and want system to plan for only those location products.
The system will use the low level code to determine which location product to plan first and then move to the next one and so on.
You can refer the following links for further explanation.

Error Msg while BOM creation - Maximum low-level code 999 reached

Dear Expert,
After uploading the BOM (T-code: CS01) of material XXXXXXX in XXXX plant, error message through express message is coming regarding maximum low-level code 999 and the BOM is automatically getting deleted.

Is by any chance this BOM recursive?
If so, you need to allow recursiveness specifically.

Low level codes

How are low level codes define in bom,we know that systems plans 000 first then 001 & so on.
for example fert will have 000 , halb 001 , & roh 002 it is like this or vice versa.
but what i think system plans first for roh , than halb then fert , what u say ?
or how can u define low level code how it works ?
are you posting these things or not
plz explain in detail ....experts
Regards
SF

Hi Safraz,
Your intially statement is right
i think system plans first for roh , than halb then fert , what u say ?
Here the system doesn plan from below,because the requirement comes for the top level not for the dependendent levels
For ex -sale order or PIR (any reqmnt for tht matter) is created at the finished level product
There by system xplodes the BOM & plns for the dependent requirement
Regaring the low level code calculation check the below link for better understanding

Low-level code MRP

Dear gurus,
i find in the material master (MM02 and in the table MARA) the parameter "Low-level code" = 000 , how use this parameter ?
When this value is write? At saving of Bom? Is a setup of customizing for value possible?
Thanks a lot

Hi
Pl go thru the following may be useful
The lowest level that a material appears in any product structure of the
company. The low-level code controls the sequence in which the material
is planned in an MRP run: First the materials with low-level code 0 are
planned, then the materials with low-level code 1, and so on. The lower
the low-level code, the higher the number that is assigned to the
material.
The level that is set in the material master record represents the level
at which the material will be planned. This means that the material will
only be planned once all assemblies in which it occurs have been planned
and exploded.
The low-level code is set internally in the material master record when
the BOM is maintained.
When you create a bom item for a assemblyparts ,the item's low-level code will equal (assemblyparts's low-level code + 1),but if (assemblyparts's low-level code + 1) < bom item then the bom item's low-level code not changed

Low level codes (LLC codes) cannot be determined

we are facing an error of LLC codes cannot be determined , due to cycles in model for a certain transportation lane
problem is we faced same issue for the same LOcation transportation lane earlier for the same product, for which we blocked the product specific transporation lane between the concerned locations.
Can any one point out what could be the reasons for this error repetition.( FOR SAME LOCATIONS and PRODUCT )

Hi,
Check whether there is any cyclic transportation lanes.
For the LLC determination there cannot be any cycles in the transportation lanes.
That is why system is unable to determine the LLC.

Low-level Reformatting Issue

Thanks for reading my post.
Summary: I'm trying to do a low-level reformat of two identical drives. One took 2 hours to complete and the other says it will take 14 hours... and it's already been going for 3 hours. Why the difference?
*Longer version:* I have two identical drives from the same manufacturer that I use in RAID-0 for Photoshop and Video scratch. A few months ago, one of the drives started to act up and I got an I/O error message. I broke up the RAID and reformatted the drives but never put them back into RAID; I wound up using them individually as short term storage drives. After I reformatted them, they both passed drive tests and there has been no problems since.
I usually do computer house-keeping over the holidays and decided to put the two drives back into RAID-0 for a fast scratch disk (I don't store longterm data on them). I have a big project coming up and need a fast scratch disk. Anyway, I decided to zero out the disks to make sure any bad blocks that have deveoped over time are mapped out. The first drive zeroed out in a bit over 2 hours. The second has been going for 3 hours and it says that it's going to take 14 hours more! I thought that maybe I selected the more advanced reformat that requires multiple passes so I stopped the formatting to double check. Nope, it's set on basic one pass zeros.
Sorry for the long post, but does anyone know what might be going on here? Do you think the drive is defective? I ran a simple reformat and drive check before I started the low level format and the drive passed. Even if it passes the reformat, I'm left wondering if there is a major issue with the drive that isn't showing up in tests. 16 hours++ to zero out a 320GB drive is insane! Especially when the other exact model drive only took 2 hours.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I like to see:
What you used (Apple DU?) and zero a drive is not really LLF.
Make/model etc of the drive(s).
The best way to map out or recertify is with the vendor's own Windows utility, sorry; or, I've read good things about freeware SMART Utility for finding and mapping out weak sectors (they aren't black/white yes/no but can require or exceed threshold for I/O retries and errors).
Drive Tests: don't rely on Apple.
Zero-all 'may' but does not really guarantee, and often fails, at mapping out. 7-way write erase is better.
If a drive is taking too long or excessive, I'd just junk it or RMA and get a new pair (Samsung F3, SSD, V-Raptor....)

"Low-level" authorizations for accessing BW reports - add users to role

Using the advice in Topic "Low-level" authorizations for accessing BW reports, I have been able to publish a query to a role that has 3 test users and each user gets the same query but with different data, as determined in the tables.
Is there a way to look up the users and e-mail addresses from a table and associate them to the role? We have several hundred e-mail recipients that will not need BW access, but only need an e-mail with a static report that contains data on their own territories.

Hi!
i think programatically it might be complex. You got to maintain a seperate variant of report per user and use this variant to send mail. that means you need to maintain a variant and a Broadcast setting per user. once maintained you can use it any number of times the values will be recalculated everytime.
with regards

Assigning Lower Level Contract(s) to Master Contract

I've looked all around here and can not find the answer.
So I have a Master Contract (type GK). Now I want to create other Contracts and have them displayed as lower levels in the Master Contract.
If I create a new Contract, and enter the Master contract number in the header, I receive the error "Referenced document is not a group master contract"
Ultimately I want to create numerous contracts referencing the Master, so I can view them all under teh Master Contract. I do not simply want to create with reference and use doc flow.
Anybody ?

Hi PLs refer below steps
Creating Master Contracts
1. In the initial screen, choose Logistics -->Sales and distribution -->Sales.
2.Choose Contract -->Create.
3.In the Contract field, choose the contract type Master contract (GK is the master contract type in the standard system) and, if necessary, the organizational data.
The values for sales organization, distribution channel, and division may be proposed from the user parameters. Entries for the sales office and sales group are optional.
4.Choose Enter.
5. Enter the number of the sold-to party in the Sold-to party field.
6. Choose Enter.
7. Check the data on the following screens and, if necessary, enter additional data:
Business data
Partner
Contract data
Billing plan
Linking a Contract to a Master Contract
On the initial screen, choose Logistics ->Sales and distribution ->Sales.Choose Outline agreement ->Contract ->Create.
You can also link existing contracts to master contracts. In this case, choose Outline agreement ->Contract ->Change. Then enter the contract number and go to step 6.
Enter the contract type and, if necessary, the organizational data.
The values for sales organization, distribution channel, and division may be proposed from the user parameters. Entries for the sales office and the sales group are optional.
Choose Enter.
If you have activated the check for existing master contracts in Customizing and master contracts already exist for the customer, a dialog box appears. You can branch from the dialog box into the list of master contracts and select a suitable master contract from the list by placing the cursor on the master contract and choosing Copy.
If no dialog box appears, you reach the contract overview screen. Either enter a master contract number or search for a suitable master contract using a matchcode.
Choose Enter.
The system determines whether the reference is valid by checking that
u2013 The contract type can refer to the master contract type
u2013 The identical fields match
If the reference is valid, the system copies the data from the master contract into the contract according to the referencing procedure assigned to the master contract.
If the reference is not valid, the system issues an error message. If the identical fields do not match, it deletes the number in the Master contract field. In this case, either enter a suitable master contract number or check the settings in the Customizing activity Define Referencing Requirements.
Enter any other data you require.
The referencing procedure in the master contract controls whether you can change the data which was copied from the master contract.

MDX (9.3) - Good for LOW LOW LEVELS

Has anyone used MDX for low low low level data output? I have cube that is relatively large and it will not return the low low level output.
Same limitation exists with report writer and the spreadsheet add in. Seems only option is level zero export; but then, the items in the columns are wrong.

Hi Tim - I wish; the limitation is in the number of tuples MDX can process; it seems to be an issue in a limited number of tuples can be processed before some internal limit is hit; it could be a defect in my MDX script though. I am fairly new with tuples and sets so it could be my code.
I am working with an ASO cube. Using the spreadsheet add in it takes about 1 hour to return the data. The output is about 12 columns wide (time) and 26K rows deep w/suppression - product, company, etc. as row items.
The intent to see if we can automate the required level zero dump and reduce the time it takes to generate the query by using MDX.

Collective Planned orders Scheduling for lower level orders with reference to the Superior order

Hi All,
Collective planned order scheduling.
I have been trying to reschedule the superior planned order and i was expecting the lower level planned orders to reschedule based on the superior planned order.
My problem is
when i try to reschedule the superior planned order the system is not rescheduling the lower level planned orders.
For example if i change the basic finish date of superior planned order as 30/09/2014 and reschedule the planned order it is only scheduling the header planned order and the lower level planned order is not scheduling.
Could some one tell me why this is not happenning at planned order level.
As the rescheduling of collective order will work at production order level but for some reason it is not happening at planned order level(as there is no option available to do so).
Please give your thoughts on this asap.
Mahee.

Hello Mahee
Please observe that your system is working as designed. Planned orders are scheduled independently, even when they are part of a network/collective order. Note 152319 explains the planned order scheduling in detail and it provides the following information:
* No scheduling of overall networks is executed although a directly manufactured component is assigned.
Note that no scheduling of the overall network is executed for planned orders. For the components requirements dates are determined. In order to cover them, planned orders are created in the next MRP run. Since the requirements are not managed using the exact time, the results of the planned order scheduling and of a scheduling of the overall network of the converted collective order can differ.
