Lifecycle planning with multiple locations

Hi Experts,
Imagine we have:
1) Product A in Location A
2) Product B in Location B
Now there is a initiative to discontinue production of Product B in location B and it is expected that customers will buy instead Product A in Location A.
So I need to map sales history of Product B in Location B to Product A in Location A. How can I achieve this functionality?
- Life-cycle management allows me to do only within the same location.
- Other option is to do a realignment, but it is too dangerous for often use from my point of view.
Does anyone have implemented some development on this?
Thanks,
Art

Art,
1. If you want to consider using Life cycle planning only , Try creating the life cycle table on Product and Location characteristics. Create the life profile and then maintain both Product A/ Location A values in the lifecycle table.
2. Realignment should be considered as one of the option, if your users are OK with actually copying the sales history to new product instead of just referring the sales history for forecasting without actually copying. Also, as mentioned earlier by Satish, execute realignment in two steps if you want to play safe. Copy first and then delete CVCs belonging to Product B/Loc B as a next step once you are sure the data has been copied correctly to Prod A/Loc A.
Also you could do this in Quality first to feel confident about results.

VENDOR With Multiple Location

Dear Experts
we r having Single Company Code & Multiple Plant , and our vendor Having Multiple Location so through
Company Code i want to Create only one Vendor but whenever order will be placed then Purchase order should Contain different Address And For FI Point Single Account Should be mentained.
Or what would be the Best Pratices is there...

hi,
You can do one thing...Do create the One time vendor in the VMR with the One time vendor account group defined in it...
So that when you create the PO, the details you will be able to enter your self at every time and account group will also be same...
Hope it helps...

Inspection plan with multiple specifications

I have to maintain 1 inspection plan for 2 vendors for incoming inspection.
Eg: Vendor A & B
Vendor A, I have to check parameter Fe, Mn, Si
Vendor B, I have to check parameters Fe, Moisture (For B, no need to check Mn, Si. Also Fe specification will vary for A and B vendors)
How can we do this in SAP. I cannot maintain 2 inspection plans.
Vineeth

Dear Vineeth
1) Dependent characteristic
For MIC 1000 - Vendor A specification 10 to 20, For Vendor B spec is 30 to 50
Suppose we receive 10 pc from vendor A , after GR inspection lot will be created from the 10 pc and the specification for MIC (1000) will be automaticaly assgined to the inspection lot ie 10 to 20. If the vendor was B then the specification would be 30 to 50.
In inspection lot there will be only one specificaton either it will be of Vendor A or that of B
2) In multiple specification is normaly used for Customer, country etc.
you have customer A , B , C & D with differnet specs for one single mic and you want to valuate the mic with all specification seperately at one time
In this multiple specification is used. here we can valuate the mic with all the specification of A, B , C & D and results in a seperate window in the result recording tab. accordingly you can check wehter the mic has passed as ok with all cusomter specification

Multi-Counter Plan with multiple Equipments

Hello,
We would like to track maintenance costs at Equipment level. In multi-counter maintenance plan, is there a way to enter multiple equipments in one mainteance plan?
Thanks a lot,
Venu

Dear Venu,
In multi counter plan, only one equipment may be assigned, as correctly observed. However, you may assign the same equipment with different task list, depending on the cycle set, so that maint order is generated with required operations applicable for that cycle.
Eg: Cycle set 1   100Hrs/1month
                      2    500Hrs/3Month
                      3    1000Hrs/6 Month
Create task lists as per above cycle sets and for each cycle set assign the same equipment, but with different task lists.
This reduces the number of maintenance plans for a given equipment. This is particularly useful for vehicle management, where the running KM and time are the common counters.

Conditional routing - 1 sender to 1 receiver but with multiple locations

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario where i am trying to post ALEAUD Idocs (acknowledgement Idocs) from ECC - PI - MDM.
I need these acknowledgement statuses to get updated in MDM (receiver system) for MATMAS, CREMAS and DEBMAS.
I am through till receiving the acknowledgemnts in PI. I am stuck at a point wherein I need to route MATMAS related messages to a different folder in the receiver system (MDM) wheraes messages realted to CREMAS should be routed to another folder in the same receiver system (MDM) and similar is the case with DEBMAS.
ALEAUD Idoc has an element <MESTYP> which identifies whether the acknowledment belongs to MATMAS, CREMAS or DEBMAS, but i cannot use Reciever determination for conditional routing in this case.
Will BPM help in this case? If not, kindly advice the appropriate solution.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Have you tried using Enhanced Receiver Determination? You need to define a mapping first
ALEAUD -> ReceiverDetermiation and use this mapping in your receiver determination step
in the Integration Directory. Its fairly flexible.

Planning with multiple plants

Hi all,
I have two production plants B and C.
I have a stock of 100 in plant B and a stock of 400 in plant C. So the total stock is available is 500.
I enter the requirement quantity of 1000 at plant A (planning plant) and do the MRP run.
Now I should get the planned orders generated at the two plants B and C for the remaining quantity. What can I do?
Rgds,

Hi,
As per my best knowledge you have no better solution in R/3 than the metioned process, that cannot realize your goal fully (you cannot optimize the process, you cannot consider the planning situation of all your plants during MRP run).
As I mentioned, more advanced solution is SAP APO that could realize your / your client's idea.
As for development: I cannot estimate how much and serious work could be to realize the multi-plant MRP run in R/3...but I'm afraid it won't be an easy job to do.
Please also wait for the others, maybe someone can tell you a workaround / good idea.
Regards,
Csaba

Distributing the GOA to multiple locations in the same backend

Hello Folks,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 (SAPKIBKT10 Support Package level) with Extended Classic Scenario, with only one backend system (R3 V4.6b) integrated with the SRM system.
Queries:
At GOA header - Distribution, Example is shown below....
Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location A
Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location B
When we distribute one GOA to the backend with multiple locations for the same Purchase organiation.
In the backend system two idocs are getting generated with the same contract number. While processing the first Idoc the system is creating the contract but while processing the second idoc the system is changing the previously created contract, instead of creating a new contract.
So, in standard does the system creates actually creates two contract numbers for two different locations?
Can somebody throw some light on the logic of the distribution
Regds
Amith
Edited by: Amith Varma on Feb 26, 2008 4:51 AM

Hi Amith,
this is normal behaviour of the system in the case POrgs are set up accross company codes. In the Contract IDoc the Comany Code is derived from the location. When the system finds the same company code, it does not create an additional contract, but just updates the already distributed contract.
Cheers,
Claudia

Maintenance Plan with Counter

Dear All,
I have the following requirement, would be of great help if you can help me get the solution:
Their is a pump which is to be maintained. The orders need to be generated on the basis of two parameters:
1. Number of hours the pump has ran. This can be recorded against measuring point.
2. Number of calendar days elapsed.
The maintenance order should be created which ever condition is met first. For example: Every 200 hrs the pump runs, a maintenance order should be created also if the time elapsed is 2 months the order should be created. Now whatever of the above two comes first the order should be created against that only.
Can anyone please tell how to achieve this.
I have thought of two options though they dont look good:
Option 1: Create two maintenance plan. Delete/TECO the extra order generated.
Option 2: Create one maintenance plan with multiple counters, one for running hours and the other for calendar days. Keep OR relation. But here we need to update calendar days counter every day which is not feasible.
Thanks
Geravine

Hi...
First of all you have to create the Measuring Counter for your Pump using the T.code IK01 and then post the initial measurement document against the measuring counter using T.code IK11.
After above create the Cycle set for Multiple counter using T.Code IP11Z, and define the Cycle for your Multiple Counter Plan.
In your condition, define the cycle length as "2" and UOM as "MON" and second cycle length as "200" and UOM as "HRS" and also provide the short text for Cycle short text as per you convenience. This is one time activity.
Then create the Multiple counter Plan using the T.Code IP43 and cycle set created in earlier step. Provide the Technical Object i.e. Pump (Most probably Equipment) all other details are copied from it. Enter the created Measuring Counter for your Technical Object in the Maintenance Plan Cycle Tab against the 200 Hrs Row in Counter Columns. In the Second Tab i.e. Maintenance Plan scheduling parameter Choose "OR" Link . Enter the value Scheduling Period which help you to show the future plan in advance.
And as per requirement you can also check the box available for Completion Requirement, Check the box if you required that New Maintenance Order will not be generate until the previous order is get closed.
Hope this will resolve your query

Where/ how do I set SNP to create Planned orders with multiple line items?

Hi
Currently our SNP is generating planned orders on a daily basis, it creates a single order with a single line item per location.
Where/ how do set SNP to create planned orders on a daily basis to generate a single order with multiple line items per location, so therefore one planned order with multiple line items for a single location.
Thanx
Keegan

Hi Keegan,
In SNP (APO) it is not possible to create order with multiple line items.
But you can do some settings so that while planning system can do aggregation and disaggregation.
But your requirment should be set on Aggregation/Dis-aggregation logic.
Please follow the follwing links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/2c/c557e9e330cc46b8e440fb3999ca51/content.htm
Aggregation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/42/f731d078e73ee4e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Disaggregation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/a6/ebefaf32e22e468355da304cc59387/content.htm
Please be sure that the setting of this logic will be at planning area level.
You can't change aggregation/disaggregation logic further.

How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed in the stat plan ?
2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of understanding of Extended stats ?

You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed. An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL' in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics" in the SQL being executed.
Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

Hello
I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
If you need anymore information please ask!
Matt

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.
