Kanban for finished goods (discrete manufacturing)

Hi gurus,
I am using kanban for finished goods(with MRP) to triggers production order(discrete manufacturing). If i set the status "empty" system is creating a planned order directly. It is not coming for MRP run. I suppose, that planned order should be created through MRP run(since i am using kanban with MRP). Can you please tell what settings i need to be checked?
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
Pls. find details about settings for KANBAN With MRP:
KANBAN With MRP
Prerequisites
In this process, the storage location assigned to the supply area is not excluded from MRP.
If a material is planned and procured with MRP, you must make the following settings:
You must maintain a valid MRP type for the material. This means, the setting "ND" (No planning) is not allowed.
You must maintain all other control parameters required for MRP for the material.
You must maintain a repetitive manufacturing profile (in the MRP data screen) for replenishment strategies with a cost collector (in-house production with run schedule quantities, manual KANBAN). In the SAP standard system, a profile is available that is specially intended for KANBAN, that is, using this profile, the system creates a cost collector without a run schedule header.
Features
Here, the total production quantity or the procurement quantities of a certain period are planned in the planning run and the replenishment elements are also created in the planning run. For in-house production, you can use either Repetitive Manufacturing or production orders to plan the production quantities per period. For external procurement, all the standard replenishment elements are available. The replenishment elements created in the planning run, however, are not intended to trigger production or replenishment directly. Instead, they exist to provide the supply source with a preview. Actual production and material flow are controlled and triggered by setting the kanban to FULL and EMPTY. Backflushes and goods receipts are posted with no reference to the kanban. This means that you can backflush daily quantities, for example.
In this procedure, the following is valid for materials with BOMs:
Components that are used in KANBAN materials can be planned using any one of the MRP procedures. However, the system has to be organized so that the supply source does not produce the material for the replenishment element created in MRP immediately but awaits the kanban request.
As the system creates preview data in the procedure with MRP, it is particularly useful for replenishment with run schedule quantities (Repetitive Manufacturing) and scheduling agreement releases.
HOpe this helps.

Kanban for finished goods

Hi Gurus,
In my current project our client using kanban in the following way........they are doing SOP for FG to get the raw procurement plan and using Kanban to triggres production of FG.......they have three stock level for FG with a max. limit.......when stock falls below any level it triggers production....and if it falls the minimum level it triggers production with a warning.....................Can you please help me how that can be mapped with SAP

Uploading Production Requirements For Finished Goods From External System To Run MRP For Components in SAP.

Hello Production Planning experts,
I'm looking to solve the current business problem:
The company bought a third party software (JD Edwards) to calculate production requirements instead of using SAP's standard Production Planning or a tool like SAP's APO. They run a batch job to query Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from sap and feed/upload it to the third party software so it can calculate the Finished Goods Production Requirements for them. They love the third party software, so replacing it is not an option. Since the third party software is already taking into account Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from SAP, it just outputs a "Finished Goods Production Schedule" by week.
My questions are:
1) What's the best way to upload something like that in SAP in the form of Planned Orders or something of that nature?
After i get that schedule in SAP:
2) Is there any way to calculate components' requirements for that "Finished Goods Production Schedule" alone? The company would like to IGNORE existing stock AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc) for Finished Goods ONLY. The components calculations would work the standard MRP way, taking into account existing stock and AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc)
I started looking into Master Production Schedule (MPS), but I don't know if that's the right approach since I'm not very familiar with it.
Thanks in Advance! I will gladly reward points for helpful/correct answers.

Hello Oscar
I suggest you to upload your production plan in the for of "Planned Independent Requirements" using BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE. Later, MRP will create planned orders to cover the PIRs.
If you don't want to consider the existing stock of the finished product, you should use the planning strategy 11 to create your PIRs. Take a look on the following link for more details about this planning strategy:
Gross Requirements Planning (11) - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
Here you will find the following information:
The make-to-stock strategy gross requirements planning is particularly useful in mass production environments; it is often combined with repetitive manufacturing. This strategy is particularly useful if you need to produce, regardless of whether you have stock or not. For instance, steel or cement producers might want to use this strategy because they cannot shut down production; a blast furnace or a cement factory must continue to produce, even if this means having to produce to stock.
This strategy is also frequently used if there is a Material Requirements Planning system in a legacy system that needs to be linked to an SAP system which serves as a production execution system. The legacy system calculates a specific production plan, which has to be executed, regardless of the stock situation in the SAP system
It looks like this planning strategy is exactly what you are looking for.

Split valuation for Finished Goods - Target cost was not updated

Hi,
We are following split valuation for 'Finished goods'.
Valuation typte 1 is for 'manufacture' and
Valuation type 2 is for 'External procurement'
For production orders with this material, we are not getting target costs. It is showing zero.
We have done release of standard cost estimate before creation of production orders and goods receipt for these orders. But still it is not updating.
Pls guide me.
Regards
MadhuSekhar Gupta

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
At the time of variance calculation only the credit part of target cost will update and at the time of goods receipt debit part of the target cost will update.
Our client has done goods receipt but debit part of the target cost was not updated. and the order status is DLV.
I simulated the scenario in QAS by creating new finished goods materials (Industry-Construction) one is with split valuation and another is without split valuation, then the debit part of target cost was updated at the time of goods receipt and credit part was updated at the time of variance calculation for both the materials. So this problem was not arised because of split valuation.
Was this problem arising because of the material master data, because for one material it is updating and for another it is not for the same configuration?

If Excise invoice required for finished goods.

Hi All
I have doubt, whether excise invoice is required for finished goods or not. As I am trying to create MIGO doc for PO of finished material, and it is saying, no excise invoice possible for finished material RG1.
Can you advise please.
Regards
Mukta

HI
Thanks for this. When we are executing Utilization transaction J2IU, it is giving dump after prompting popup with 'Data will be lost PLA NCCD B35', 'No record selected , excise invoice cancelled'.
Run time error is saying -
Short text
    Structure-type conflict when calling a FORM
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "J_1IRUTZ" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
not caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
The call of the FORM "DETERMINE_DEFAULT_VALUES" is incorrect:
The actual parameter no. 2 is at PERFORM not compatible with the
structure type requested by FORM "DETERMINE_DEFAULT_VALUES".
The FORM "DETERMINE_DEFAULT_VALUES" is defined in program "SAPMJ1II".
This error occurs in Unicode if the fragment view of the types is
incompatible.
Can some one suggest if we need to apply any OSS NOTE.

How to get unit cost for finished goods in prod order

HI all,
IN a production order of type PP04, there is cost analysis you can get from CO03. This shows the cost for finished goods and BOM components. Would anyone know how the cost for finished goods are calculated ? The issue i have is that the unit cost of the finished goods is not correct. It is higher than what it should be. I looked at the moving avg price at material master but the cost used in calculation is different than in material master. Can anyone shed light how finished goods are calculated and why it is picking up a higher unit cost ? Where is the higher cost coming from for finished goods material as shown in CO03 ? The BOM materials are picking unit cost correctly. Would this have anything to do with cost settlement ?
thank you.
joyce

Hi,
Finished goods price will depend on BOM componenet price, activity price and overhead price. Check whether this prices are picking correctly or not.

PO for Finished Goods with Tax Code - Inventorise

Hi All,
Our Client is procuring Finished Goods from Domestic Vendor & Excise Duty is paid to the Vendor for that i am defining the tax code in PO. Over here For the Finished Good in Tax Code it is not capturing - (Condition Type - JMO2). I have checked it in PO for ROH, HALB tax code is working perfectly with (Condition Type - JMO2). I like to know will it work for finished goods or not. In J1ID i have maintained Excise Rate.
I had followed the following steps.
1) Material code- Chapter id maintained in J1ID
2) Vendor code excisable in J1ID
3) Maintain condition record in FV11 for the correct validity period
4) Check the PO creation date whcih should fall between condition record validity period
Every thing is maintained i have checked it Thoroughly fot this particular material i am not getting it. This one is a finished goods material.
I am not able to identify what is happening.
I will give the flow so that you can help me out.
1. Created Material - Finished with all views except - Classification, Forecasting,
Work Scheduling & QM
2. Create Info Record - Tax Code given
3. J1ID - Chapter ID, Chap ID with Material, *** Val for Mat, Vendor Excise Detail, Excise ind. for Plant, Excise ind. for Plant & Vendor, & Excise Tax Rate.
4. FV11 - Maintained till - 31.12.9999.
5. FTXP - Tax Code is Maintained & it's working fine with other PO.
6. ME21N - PO is done for Domestic vendor with Standard PO With no condition & With only tax code for ED & CST.
7. In J1ID cenvat determination has been maintained.
Also the material type should be raw in material chapter id combination instead of RG1 even though the material is finished to take credit of excise it should be maintained as RAW .
Over Here if i see i am not able to capture (JMO2 A/P Eduty for Inven 0.000%) &
For Sale tax i have maintained it in FTXP as (A/P C Sales Tax Inv NVV 12.500% JIP1) but it is not appering in PO Tax code. I can See the sale tax is geting updated in Tax code for Inventorise if i give it with out ED in tax code. With ED it is not Appering in Taxcode.
Can you help me resolving the issue.
Once again thanks for youre help.
Thanks in Advance,
sapuser.
Edited by: sapuser on Dec 26, 2008 10:10 AM

Hi All,
Just give a check by entering cenvat determination table. System checks this by default for excise details. Enter i/p and o/p material as same.
Hope this will resolve you Problem,

Discontinuity and Follow-up Materials for Finish Goods

Dear all,
We have used for a long time the Discontinuity functionality and Follow-up Materials for Raw and Packaging materials (components in BOMs).
We would like to use the same functionalities for Finish Goods, but after setting fields in MRP4 View, it seems not to work as it did for components.
Is it possible to reproduce the same effect in Finish Goods as we had with components, i.e., use some kind of Discontinuity and Follow-up materials for Finish Goods?
We currently work with R/3 V.4.7.
Thank you all in advance for any support.
Best Regards,
Alberto

Dear Alberto,
If my understanding is correct then this discontinued material concept works only for the components and not for the finished
product during MRP.
Discontinuation Data Use
In MRP, the discontinuation functionality is used to transfer dependent requirements of a component to one or several follow-up
materials, if the requirements are no longer covered by stock. You can also define a follow-up material in the bill of material.

Moving average price for finished goods

Hi All
I am using moving average price for finished goods. My question is, Does the price on the material master record adjusts, when we do goods receipt on a production order( If there are variances)?
here is a scenario:
Moving avrage price of finished goods=2$ and total stock =1
it has two components in the Bom
Raw1-3$
Raw2-3$
Now when I am producing 1 qy of finished goods with 6 $ of Raw materials, moving average price of fert should be 6+2/2=4 $. But I noticed the moving average price in the material master record is not changing.
My question is, Does the MVP changes with production order goods receipt, If so, what setting should I change to acheive that functionality.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Guys
Thanks for responding
I am aware that sap does not recommend MAP for finished goods. But we have a weird requirement. And I am doing a demo on this. My thought on MAP is, It changes for every goods receipt. But when I am doing goods receipt on production order, It is not changing the MAP, Even though there is variance on production order. So, My question is, Did I miss any configuration ?

How to generate Serial(Unique) Number for finished goods?

Guru's,
How do i generate Serial(Unique) Numbers for finished goods.Suppose,if we get an order for a finished good A of 10 qty.We want to generate unique number to identify each and every A item separately for quality purpose.Any help is much appreciated.
thanks Guru's

Depending on serial control of item, you will need to generate serial numbers at the time of WIP Completion transaction using Serial Entry window (i.e. if serial control is At Receipt) or at the time of job creation (i.e. if you are using serial control as predefined)
In latter case, you will have to use MES or MSCA screens to perform serialized WIP completion.
Thanks,
