Make-to-order production

hi,
I wonder how to put in the sub items/lower-level item under a higher-level item. I cant find the sub item icon in the Item Overview screen. Thanks.

Hi Jino,
MTO production is when sales order trigger the production process. Different planning strategies are available for MTO (eg 20, 50). You choose the correct one depending on your clients requirement. Now, to understand the process sequence the Tcodes are
MM01: create material master
CS01: create BOM
CR01: create work center
CA01: create routing
Define the operations/sequence if production in the routing. component allocations are also made to the operations.
Create a sales order for the finished material.
MD02: run MRP
MD04: look at the requirement list, planned orders/purchase requisition are created
convert the planned orders into production orders and release it.
Depending on the order type parameters you may have to do a goods issue to the Prod ord.
CO11N: After the operations are completed do a confirmation.
Goods will have to be delivered for the sale order created initially.
KKAX: Calculate WIP
KKS2: variance calculation
KO88: order settlement
These are the high level steps in an MTO scenario.
Do let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Pradeep.

Sales order does not allow make-to-order production

Dear Friends,
I am trying to do do planned order for sales order in MD50 it was showing the error message as
"Sales order does not allow make-to-order production"
Can any one solve this
Shakthi

Hi Shakthi,
It is also possible to set the priority for Requirement Type determination like
0 Material master strategy, then item category and MRP type
1 Item Category and MRP Type
2 as 1, with check for allowed requirement type.
The transaction for this is same as "Requirement Type Determination :
Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements --> Transfer of Requirements --> Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction
Look for "Source".
In this transaction, Please, check "Requirements".
Please, make sure of the following 2 things :
1. If you do not set an indicator for maintaining the requirements class: Transfer of requirements is not carried out, irrespective of the specification you make at schedule line level for the transaction.
So it is necessary to mantain the setting first at the Requirements Class. As mentioned in my earlier posts, the requirement class for the material can be found out from Planning Strategy / MRP3 view --> Main strategy (defined in the strategy group) --> Requirement Class for Customer Requirements.
The IMG path for "Define Strategy" is Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Planned Independent Requirements --> Planning Strategy --> Define Strategy.
2. Once the "Requirements" indicator is set in Requirement Class, the requirements indicator at the Schedule Line decides whether or not you require transfer of requirments for the relevant transaction.
I hope this should solve your problem.

Overdelivery shipping for make-to-order production

Hello,
I have the following business scenario example:
We have a make-to-order production of carton boxes.
A customer places an order for 1000 UN.
Production is always planned with an overdelivery tolerance so the actual produced quantity for that particular order is 1050 UN.
The customer allows an overdelivery of 10% so it should be fine to ship the 1050 UN.
When I create the outbound delivery, the system creates it for the exact sales order amount: 1000 UN, even though there are 1050 UN produced for that order and item. So right now, the user has to manually modify the delivery quantity to match the actual stock.
Is there a standard way of configuring the system so that in the delivery creation the system selects the entire produced quantity (respecting the overdelivery tolerance)??
Do I need a user exit for this? In that case, which one should I use and what would be the logic for it?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no easy way to influence delivery quantity in delivery processing by user exit or customer function.
At creation of an delivery FORM USEREXIT_BATCH_DETERMINATION in include MV50AFZZ would be the best option to influence the delivery quantity. Despite the name of this user exit it could be used for changing normal items as well and the main advantage of this user exit is that the ATP check is done afterwards.
If you change the delivery quantity please be aware that you have to ensure the consistency of all delivery quantity fields at item level (LIPS-LFIMG, LIPS-LGMNG, LIPS-LFIMG_FLO, LIPS-LGMNG_FLO). You could use FORM LIPS_QUAN_SET (Include FV50XFLP_LIPS_QUAN_SET) to synchronize all the quantity fields.

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

Make to order production - schedule line not confirmed

Hi,
I created a " make to order production " having few normal materials & few supersession materials.
created PO, GR,invoice, all done.PO is updated in sales order.
Schedule line is automatically confirmed for normal materials, but not confirmed for supersession materials.
can anybody tell me , how schedule line can be automatically confirm for supersession materials.
Thanks.

Is your scenario a third party one? After you finished GR for the PO, have you checked inventory of those materials? But I still didn't understand what's difference between new material and "supersession" old one? New for what and old for what? Could you be more specific or any example will be helpful.

Make-to-order production with configuration( str type 25)

Hi,
WE are using above planning strategy. When we try to convert the planned order, we are getting following message
"You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order"
We have checked sap notes also.
Pl let us know what are the setting required in settlement profile.
Regards
Vineet

Hi Vineet,
This Strategy is for Variant configuration that is it is for congfigurable material for this you need to maintain in Sales view 2 Item category should be 0002 and the classification view you should have class as 200 or 300.
The get planned order you need to create the saleorder after that you need to run the MRP then you need to convert the planned order to Production order since this is make to order scenario you cant manually create the planned order and convert for that.

PROBLEMS IN MAKE TO ORDER PRODUCTION CYCLE

Dear Sir
When i m making make to order cycle for a material i hv maintained stratergy 20 for the material.then i created sales order for that material.then i run MRP using MD50.Then iwent to MD04.Then i converted planned order into production order it is giving me the error
"YOU CAN NOT MAKE ASSIGNMENT TO MAKE TO ORDER STOCK"
What needs to be done to solve this problem?
With Regards
Debasish

Dear ,
When you are creating Sales Order in VA01 , you should use Item Categoery as MTO order categoery .This is the link between the Production Order Created by MD50 while running MRP and Sales Order .Generally , this item categoery will assingned to a requirement type and requireoment class.Both this requirement class and requirement type will be assinged to your planning strategy-20 in Define Planning strategy and strategy group in Customising .If this is missed , then there will not be any refernce of Sales Order in the Production Order .
So check the right item categoery in the sales order and check what requirement type /requirement class u have assinged in the planning strategy group in the configuration .You will get the same error if you try to create the Production order directly by co08 if item categoery is not be assinged in the sales order as well subsequent link in the planning strategy .

Excess Raw Material issue & FG reciept in Make to order Production

In MTO Scenario I have created sales order for 10EA.After MRP run planned order of 10EA was created.I converted to Production Order.GI of raw material & GR for FG happens during order confirmation.If for that customer during Production physically 11Ea was produced.How i will show that extra FG (1EA) production & raw material booking against the order..

Can you clarify, does it mean you have consumed raw material for 11 EA FG, or you consumed only equivalent of 10 EA and due to production efficiency increase you gtot 11 EA output.
In any case you can post this as a normal production order output. For additional 1 EA you can add this in Tolerance.

Settlement Profile for Sales Order make to Order Production.

Hi
This is the first time I am working for CO and I do have a very basic question:
When our settlement process is complete (production order and sales order both settled to COPA), there is a balance remaining on the sales order cost report which is equal to the manufacturing variance.
It seems that the manufacturing variance is posting from the production order to the sales order, but is not being assigned to the PSEG and flowing to COPA.
I do have all the screen shot and logical flow charts and I could e-mail to you for a quick glance.
Thanks

I will take a look at your documentation - my email is on my profile business card.

Make-to-order production (assembly processing) - Missing Parts

Hi Guys
During creating an assembly order, availability check comes up with missing parts.
Can someone tell me how to proceed from here? I checked the material master fro the missing part and in MRP2, procrement type = x.
What are my options, can i save this order even though i have missing parts? How do i carry on?
Thanks
Ahmad Yahya

Hi,
relevant material master setting is in MRP3, availability check. If you would like to skip the check, set the indicator to KP - no check.

"Make-to-Order Production with Variant Configuration (147)" doesn't work ..

Hi, I'm trying to run through this scenario ) on the Cloud Showroom and clearly the document I have (147_BPP_EN_UK.doc dated Oct 2008) is out of date or at least out of sync with the system as configured u2018in the cloudu2019 u2026.. the necessary roles specified in the document are not available in the cloud and some of the transactions are not there, e.g. VL10I.
But more infuriating is that the process just does seem to work, for instance from page 13 u2026.
Item 7 ...
"If a material variant can be determined on the Display Material Variant screen, select the configurable line item and choose Enter. In this case the previous configurable material number will be replaced by the new configurable variant that was created. For example, F1000-M1 will replace F1000 if Type of Material Material Metal and Type of Packaging Normal is selected."
In my case Iu2019m not clear what the u201CDisplay Material Variant screenu201D is u2013 the previous instruction (Item 6) from the document says u201CWhen all of the configurable choices have been selected, choose Back.u201C which takes you back to the document overview. Highlighting the line and pressing enter doesnu2019t do anything and there is no option to select the configurable line item that I can find so the expected material substitution doesnu2019t happenu2026.
I've got a couple of screen scrapes that show the approriate variant material being specified and found (Characteristic Value Assignment) but there doesn't seem to be any way to attach to the forum. I have tried to double click the variant material on the Characteristic Value Assignment screen and also tried clicking clicking once and then 'entering' but neither method resulted in the necessary substitution (i.e. the overview screen still shows F1000 and not the variant material F1000-P1 that has been specified?
Also the schedule line was confirmed as deliverable u2018todayu2019 even through there is not stock u2026 all very puzzling u2013 any help much appreciated.
Regards.

I found the answer to this myself - I was looking at out of date best practice documents on our server, the latest bast practive documents are written for EHP4 and therefore should work on the 'cloud'.

Make-to order with production in alternative plant

Hi,
We are thinking about implementing a scenario with Make-to Order production for our products, but with production in alternative plant (special procurement type 80).
For example, sales orders will be directed to plant A, but production should take place in plant B - and using a make-to order strategy (in our case planning strategy 50 - planning without final assembly).
Is there any problems with our approach, making it not feasible to implement? Is it even possible in SAP to combine MTO with special procurement key 80 (production in alternative plant)?
Is there any other issues that can be foreseen with using this type of production strategy?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hi,
The production strategy which you are going to use is very fine.
As per me there is one concern. Example you have created a sales order in Plnat A, in plant A that FG is handling through Special procurement 80, then in the MRP run system will be creating a planned order in Plant B without running MRP in plant B. In MD04 screen you can see planning plant as Plant A. In plant B, u r converting this planned order in to Production order and executing the production. While doing the GR against the production order, the goods receipt will happen directly in Plant A.
This is the one problem (Accountability) you can face.

Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion.

Hello..
Please explain Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion in details with examples.
David.

Dear David
Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
You can use make-to-order production:
For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured
When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order
Choose a make-to-stock strategy, if:
The materials are not segregated. In other words, they are not assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs need to be tracked at material level, and not at sales order level.
You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future. This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.
This does not mean that you have unreasonably high stock levels. You can avoid them by doing one of the following:
Create a production plan in advance (in Demand Management) to plan your stock.
If you make use of this option, you may also want to decide whether sales orders exceeding your plan are to affect production or not.
Receive sales orders relatively early on (using scheduling agreements, for example).
thanks

Error Message V1810 - Make to Order No Change delivery plant in Sales Order

Hello, for a client where I'm setting the flow intercompany , but i have an error on the Sales Order when I must be change delivery plant.
Scenario: Make to Order, Product configuration, Sales Order BOM created by CS60
Step:
1 - I create sales order fo company X delivery plant 1000
2 - Creates Order BOM on plant 2000 Company Y
3 - creates MRP Planned Order
4 - Convert Planned Order to Production Order
For different issues can happen that you decide to ship the goods to a different plant than the X. Production Plant remains 2000.
If I try to change the plant on the Order system stops me with the following error:
Message V1810 - Plant can no longer be changed
Diagnosis
The plant can no longer be changed in the Following situations:
The item has been assigned to a project.
There is a production order for the order item but it is not a staticassembly order.
Already have accrued costs.
For the very complex structure of the product I can not delete the production order and sales order BOM.
How do I handle these cases?
Can anyone help me?
Best regards
Giuseppe

Hi Guiseppe,
can you please answer some questionsa to understand your requirement.
if you want to transfer the goods from plant to plant you can do it through Stcok transfer MB1B t code.
1.then why you want to change the plant? in which element you are trying to do in sales order or production order?
2.you mention it as intercompany and MTO can you be clear for whoom you got the sales order(internal or External Customer?
