Hi,
In MTO scenario as far as sales concerned we want the material master how the Material could be like is it a configurable material, or finished produt, or configurable with material variant etc you have to check .
We have to Maintain Strategy Group in MRP3 View. But this plays vital role iN MTO scenario
In the sales order BOM has to be exploded at Sales order level or BOm has to be exploded at Production order level
The entire MTO scenario depends upon Requirment type and Requirment class
Becasue once we created sales order the requirments have to pass to production people u can find it in MD04 tcode.
Then PP consultants Run the MRP and they will convert the planned order to production order
In the requirment class you have to chek what is the special stock indicator is it valuated stock or non valuated stock
is it a sales order settlement or production order settlement.what is the costing sheet costing id costing variant, and one more thing u need to know is it unit costing or product costing
when u create a sales order they will ask u to mark up the sales order costing mark up in the sense u have tick mark in the application menu bar.
suppose if u want to recalculate the cost at order level then this marking is very important. u have to sit with PP CO and MM people this is an excellent integration scenario.
As far as the pricing concerned u have to check how many pricing procedures are required according to business requirment
hope it could be like this including tax or excluding tax scenarios.
So based on this u have to talk to the project owners u have to ask questions.
regards,
Murthy

Hello László,
in a nutshell BPM Netweaver is focussing on so called edge-processes (usually
SOA-based and often workflow related). These edge-processes a thought to enhance exisitng core business processes and should provide the fast competitive edge versus competitors. Examples would be also xApps. For this Netweaver provides process modelling tools, where you can get exectuable code through the integration between CE and PI. The monitoring part for these processes is mainly targeting business end-users and business manager.
Business Process Monitoring with Solution Manager focusses on core business processes which are realized with the "conventional", "old" SAP Architecture, e.g. Order-to-Cash or Procure-to-Pay. You get a combination of technical monitors (average response times of transactions, background job runtimes, monitors for IDOC or qRFC processing) and application related monitors (you get more than 200 pre-configured application monitors out-of-the-box like number of overdue customer orders or outbound deliveries or number of deliveries with goods issue posted but no invoice). The target group here is the support organization of the customer, from Basis-Support over application support on IT side to process owner on business department side.
Overview presentations can be found under
https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information -->
"Business Process Monitoring - Part 1 & 2".
Or look under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-processmonitoring
In the end BPM Netweaver and BPMon SolMan are complementary for different purposes and different target groups.

Make To Order - Process Industries

We are process order industries. And we have make to order scnerio (Tcode : cor1). Now we also want to make to order scnerio.
Please guide me what are configuration changes, what are tcodes for the same.

> We are process order industries. And we have make to order scnerio (Tcode : cor1). Now we also want to make to order scenario.
I feel now you are creating a process order directly in COR1,
IS MRP run is required? for your client?
If MRP is required, use strategy 40, System will consider both make to stock as well as MTO for that material, IF you want pure make to stock strategy then use strategy 20. that you can assign in MRP3 view of material master
then enter the sale order, the requirement will come automatically in MD04
and Run MRP in Md02
and convert the plan order in to production order in MD04 or MD40, MD41

Make to order scenario-customer requirement

hi,
here we are having one scenario that client is having MTO process, where HALB level components can exchanged from one sales order to another.here costs of HALB material used in the FERT production order is not picked as the typical functionality of MTO is like that diff. levels of components will be procured for sales orderwise.
kindly suggest a solution
thanks
murali krishna.r.n

hi reddy,
our client is using MTO process, where they will exchange halb materials for the fert level production order. i.e according to MTO sales order will trigger procurement seperately at all levels of bom( as sales order stock). what is happening at the client side is they are converting plnd orders to production orders generated in the stock requirement list for HALBS, as thier wish they want to use these randomly for fert production,
costs differences are arising.....
so kindly suggest a solution
thanks

Stock update in Make to order process

Hi all,
I am working in MTO scenario. Now the case is as under:
1. In the material master MRP 2 screen I have maintained "5" in "In-house Production time". So when i create the sales order today i.e on 02/10/2007, in the availability check the system displays that the material will be available on 07/10/2007 only. These 5 quantities will be confirmed for 07/10/2007.
But from the production department the material comes into finished goods store on say 05/10/2007 - 2 days earlier. Now on 05/10/2007 when I go to create the delivery in VL01N, the system gives an error that "no schedule lines due for delivery on 05/10/2007". For doing the delivery again i have to go back to the sales order in VA02 - double click on the line item and in the schedule lines i have to run the availability check again and confirm the 5 quantities on 05/10/2007.
So I want that the system should automatically update the schedule line in the sales order with respect to the goods receipt from the production.
Regards,
Allabaqsh G. Patil

Hi Allabaqsh
Based on the settings made in OVLZ ---> In Pick/pack time wrkdys, if any no.of days is specified, for example, if 5 is given in this field, even if stock is available on the same day of order creation, system will allow to do PGI only after 5 days from the date of order created.
So check this and revert back whether your problem is solved.
Thanks

Belated costs during a make-to-order/sales order controlling process

Hello Experts,
We implemented a make-to-order process where we collect actual costs of a repackaging process. The cost object of that process order is the sales order item (VBP, Vertriebsbelegposition). So far that cost collection works absolutely fine and the actual costs are collected in the conditions of the sales order item.
Unfortunately it can be the case that after billing the sales order item, operations debits the process order with an activity (e.g. quality analysis). After using transaction KO88 the balance of the process order is posted to the sales order item even if it has been already billed. But when I open the sales order with TA VA02 the conditions of these sales order item are already grey and not editable anymore. And therefore it is not possible to actualize the price and the extra costs of the belated positing of operations.
Do you know any possibilty to creat a second bill of the same sales order item to collect the additional costs?

Hi,
Finance person would need to create a JV to knock off those costs. The same wont be possible through SD route again.

Make to Order Scenario for MM

Hi All,
I like to know what are the Scenario for Make to Order Process in MM. Which as to be taken care for the business process in India. If listed out with the flow it will be of great help.
sapuser

Hai..
Make to order is a production planning strategy.
Make to order normally flows in the below mentioned path.
1) Requirement of FG arises from Sales
2) Sales order will be generated against requirement
3) When MRP runs for the plant, by considering sales order, MRP element will be triggering PR / SA / Planned Order depending upon the settings in material master & other associated records.
4) If planned order has got converted to PR, then subsequently PO can be converted from PR.
5) After that you will be following normal procurement processes as you mentioned like,
Procurement of Stock Material, Procurement with Contract, etc..
Hope it will helps you...

How can I set up purchase-to-order much the same as make-to-order

Hi all,
I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place but this is my first question that I couldn't answer by searching other posts/articles so I'm reaching out for some help and advice.
In PP, you can use a planning strategy to execute a make-to-order process which creates a production order specific to a sales order. Is the same possible within MM for creating a purchase order specific to a material required for a production order?
My example is this:
The BOM for FINI_ABC contains:
1 piece of PACK_1 (label)
1 piece of PACK_2 (container)
If I create a production order for FINI_ABC, MRP will obviosuly create requirements and purchase requisitions for both PACK_1 and PACK_2 materials. What I would like to achieve is for the production order number to be held within the purchase requisition and subsequently the purchase order.
This is required so that when the Purchase Order is created and sent to the vendor, they also receive the corresponding production order number. The vendor is then able to deliver the PACK materials packaged together for production which obviously eliminates some manual handling in the production warehouse.
As you see, it's very similar to Make-to-Order but I don't know where to start..........
Any help or advice to point me in the right direction would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Some care must be considered in respect to what materials will you be managing in your stock, if FINI_ABC or PACK_1 and PACK_2.
I'm guessing by your description you mean FINI_ABC.
I think you can create PACK_1 and PACK_2 as service materials and at your pricing condition for FINI_ABC you can define one of this "services" as a free goods item. Unfortunately you could only assign one item this way.
Another thing you can use is the empties management and set this two items in a empties BoM. Check:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/43/0102827af25285e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In SAP Retail you can be even be a bit more creative with BoM's in purchasing as I recall.
You can also follow a more simple rule albeit some development required. Create your PO with only your finished material and create a new BoM usage and your "Purchase BoM's" for this usage. Then you set your purchase order smartform or EDI message to read this information and place it on the layout. Although you don't get the info in ME23N your supplier will.
Hope it helps,
Edgar

Error while creating make -to -order

Respected Gurus,
I am a frequent vistor of this forum, and find it very helpful. I am studying SD processes, and came across error which is not posted on the forum.
While configuring Make-to-order process,
1) I have defined and assigned controlling area for my company code.
2) In MM01 I created material master with required fields such as item category group ( 0001 - make-to-order)
3) In VA01 I have raised an order with my material, and in the sales header>Procurement> Requirement field changed to KE.
Now I get an error : Plant xxxx is not assigned to controlling area.
Could you please guide me.
Regards
Trupti

Thanks for the reply.
I checked assignment of the plant to the company code, and also MRP type. Both of them are as per your suggestion.
Not sure how, but the error i mentioned disappeared today, except another one related to FBN1.
I have been able to process MIRO , Invoice and generate the accounting document.
In the VA02 document flow...status of the accounting document is " Not cleared", how to go about it.
Also if you could look in to another question I posted regarding reconcillation account, would appreciate.
Regards
Trupti.

Delivery not created in make to order cycle

Hi
i am in the make to order process scenario and facing problems while creating a delivery after production order has been confirmed. The steps followed are
1. i create an order with M1 and quantity 100 - T code : VA01
2. i create a sales order BOM for the sales order created above and using material M1 - T cose : CS 61
3. This is followed by a production cycle - planned order, production order and confirmation with lot size of 7.
4. as one production order of size 7 is confirmed, the stock is generated of quantity 7 for the material M1. using MMBE i can see the stock being created.
5. Now as i go and try and create the delivery against order created in step 1, i get the error and that "No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date".
6. When i check my order in display mode, under schedule line it shows M1 with order quantity as 100 and confirmed quantity as 0.
Could you please advise if after the confirmation of production order, the schedule line in order will show quantity 7 and if i can delivery against it. Or is there any other way of creating the delivery.
Thanks

Hello,
In MTO scenario the following happens:
1. Sales Order is created - standard requirements type determined is KE which fetches requirements class 040. The requirements class 040 has controls for MTO & special stock indicator will have entry as "E-orders on hand".
2. After MRP is run the system will transfer the requirements to PP, a planned order will be created which is then converted into a production order.
3. After running the production cycle the goods will be transferred to the finished goods storage location.
4. Now when you check in the transaction code MMBE the system will show the material stock & under the sales order stock only.
5. But when you check the sales order -- line item schedule line, the system displays the confrimed quantity as "zero".
Explanation:
You created sales order for item A - 100 Quantities. Production was completed for 20 quantities. System shows sales order stock of 20 quantities only.
When you had created a sales order for item A the system after running the availability check would have determined a delivery date by way of which it would have shown you say 2 different schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
15/05/2009.....................0.........................0.............................100
The second date the system determines taking into consideration the inhouse manufacturing time specified by you in the material master (MRP2 screen) & the other settings which aare applicable for the checking group specified in the material master.
On 15/05/2009, if you create a delivery, the system will allow you to create the delivery irrespective of the stock in the plant. But at the time of post goods issue you will face a quantity deficit error.
If the goods are received in the finished goods storage location before 15/05/2009 say on 10/05/2009, the system will not update the schedule line automatically & when you try to create a delivery the system will display the error "no schedule lines due for delivery".
Solution:
Transaction code VA02 - select the sales order number - double click on the line item - go to schedule lines - here click on the button "Item Availability" or press "Ctrl + F5" to run the availability check. As you have stock of 7 quantity, the system will display 7 quantity on the curretn date. Select the option delivery proposal to continue. Now the system will show 2 schedule lines as under
Delivery Date.............Order qty............Rounded Qty...........Confirmed Qty
01/05/2009...................100......................100............................0
10/05/2009.....................0.........................0..............................7
Save the sales order & then create a delivery. The system will not give any error.
Note: You have to manually confirm the quantities for a make to stock sales order in case if the goods are received before the delivery date specified by the system.

Make-to-order processing takes place when inventory is not generally stoked but instead the firm wants until an order hass been placed and then produces just what has been ordered.
Ex: In this case, a deluxe motorcycle gas tank that must be produced form an unpainted tank, paint and gas cap. These are two processes that must be completed in the production -
paint the tank and when tank is dry, attach the gas cap.
The BOM are needed to create a given product. The routing information gives what processes need to be carried out in what order and even how long each process should take. All this information together can be used to determine what the total cost of the product and determining the profitability of the product.
ACreation of materials:---
T code: MM01
Ex; 1400-71xx
Enter material, ind. Sector and material type.
Select the org. levels plant, stor. Location, sales org, DC, Warehoused no, storage type.

Error in make to order

Hi Experts,
I have created a sales order with order type OR, requirement type KE , Bom with usage for production, Work center, Routing.
The material with item category Norm.I did MRP run in MD50.
while converting the Planned order into production order it giving error message"You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock
*Message no. CO684*
*Diagnosis*
*The component cannot be allocated to an individual stock because make-to-order production and engineer-to-order production cannot be executed with this order.*
*A possible cause is that you are trying to create an order with reference to a sales-order/project, where an account assignment to a sales order/project is not allowed in the settlement profile that is assigned to the chosen order type. This is inconsistant.*
*System Response*
*The following responses are possible:*
*Order processing is cancelled.*
*The system resets the special stock indicator back to the original value.*
*Procedure*
Choose another order type.
Then i have tried by changing the material item category to 0001 and while creating sale order i am unable to give more than qty 1"Only quantity 1 KG is allowed (Item 000010)
Configuration not possible for material CAR1981 : Reason 3 --> Help
Message no. V1360
Diagnosis
This may have been caused by one of the following:
1. The configuration profile for the material allows or requires the bill of materials to be exploded during order processing. However, a plant has not been specified in the item.
2. The configuration profile of the material allows or requires the bill of materials to be exploded during order processing, but the order quantity in the item must be greater than 0.
3. A configuration profile has not been maintained
or
A configuration is not permitted for the material
or
4. The configuration profile of the material allows or requires the bill ofmaterials to be exploded during order processing. However, the system could not determine a date because important data is missing from the item (see incompletion log).
Kindly help me to complete the make to order process
