Make to stock planning for a finished product with variant attributes
Hello All,
I have one finished product with different characteristics like color and sizes, I have to create demand for the same finished product
and to define different characteristics but should get one planned order for each combination of characteristics. Can anybody suggest how to create demand in make to stock situation.
Hi ,
Try using "Planning with Planning Material' .
1: Define Planning material ( which is never produced) & it's BOM with only common assemblies( Finished product specific assmblies should not be added here)
2: Create Finished products seperately & assign planning material to Finished products. Finished product BOM should contain common assemblies & Variant assemblies
2:Enter Planned independent req for planning material & run MRP , it will generate procurement of it's common componenets
3: SO for Finished product reduces PIR of planning material & triggers Final assembly.
4: Planning with planning material should be 60 strategy . it must be entered in both planning material & Finsihed goods.
This is possible with make -to stock as seperate Finished goods are created for each combinatin of color & sizes.
Hope it helps,
Jatin

Incorrect Initial Stock calc for Semi-finished products in SNP PBook
Dear all,
Situation is as follows:
The Stock list on /SAPAPO/RRP3(Product View) matches the Stock in ECC (MMBE) perfectly. Also when we load the product in our SNP planning book, right click on the Stock on Hand and then Display Stock, it matches the RRP3 and the ECC stock.
Still the actual Initial stock displayed in the Planning book Cell in the initial column and thereafter is different from what the actual sum of stocks should be. This quantity is huge (in millions!). There is no Receipts planned which can contribute to this!!!
Is this a known bug in SAP? Can we rectify by running any programs?
Note: Already tried CCR, OM17, everything looks fine (which actually is because RRP3 view matched ECC perfectly.)
Kindly help.
Regards,
Rimjhim

I couldn't find any problem with the macro.
One more observation:
The UOM in ECC is KG (in transaction MMBE). The base UOM in APO is ZUN (customized Tonnes).
The conversion in Prod Master is 100 ZUN=7484 KG
If we change this conversion to 1 ZUN = 1 KG then in the planning book the Initial Stock start showing as OK.
The random value shown earlier doesn't seem connected to the UOM conversion, it's just a very very high value. How can there be a connection between UOM conversion and the Initial Stock display.
Any ideas?

Planning for externally procured products
Hi!
Most of our products are planning strategy 52 (Planning without final assembly). We are considering changing some of our products to be externally procured, however the business wants the planning logic to stay the same - do not order unless there is a sales order.
Any ideas ???
THANKS !!
DianneStrategy 20 in my manufactuing plant - no luck because planning strategy 20 is standard MTO.
"The planned orders for the finished products are correctly "non-convetable" if the original warehouse does not have a sales order. " What about tried some strategy like 72? I'm not sure can 72 work for FG but i'm very 72 can work for SFG because i used before. Else you need to check how's the strategy 72 & customize it one by yourself.
"However, they also do not want to order the raw material UNTIL there is a Production Order, not a Planned Order."
This is very easy , you not create the planned order for the purchasing department , until they firm the production order only the purchasing department buy the raw material , but you do need consider the lead time for raw material delivery.
Unless there's huge safty stock to cover.
Hope can close your issue.
Thank you. -
How to have make to stock strategy for configurable items
Dear Frndz,
My client would like to have make to stock strategy for their configurable items, pls help me out with the step by step procedure of the same.
Regards,
SriniHi
K-Mat Creation steps
1) Create Char in CT04 with assignment of Control indicators and Char values
2) Create Class in CL02 with type 300 and assign the Char to it
3) Assign this class to Material in Classification view in MM02
4) Create Configuration Profile in CU41 and Main Profiles for PP & SD relevancy
5) Assign Constraints and Procedures to Each Profile as per the rules required by design or Business
6) Create a Configurable Material (Mat type - KMAT) with Classification,Sales,MRP,Accounting views and Planning stg 25
7) Create A Super BOM(for K-mat) and assign all the comp with Proper Selection & Pre conditions
8)Create Super Routing(For K-mat) and Assign all operations with Proper Selection
Material Variant(MV) Creation Steps(Material variants are the stockable items in VC Scenario)
1) Create a MV with Material type FERT and Stg 10 or 40 (Classification view not essential)
2) Assign the K-mat material to this MV in Basic data - 2 view in Cross Plant CM field and click on Configure variant tab to select the fixed char value combination for this MV. Do the same steps in MRP-III view
By this way u can make the stock of configure items

Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly
We are trying to create a Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly Processing.
I have set up the required master data for variant configuration which is working fine in a sales order. I have used startegy group 82 in the MRP view of the material master for Finished goods/header material. A production order with BOM explosion is getting generated automatically during the creation of the sales order.I have stock of components available. Uploaded using 561 movement type (unrestricted stock).The requirement class that is being determined is 201.
ISSUE:
Availability check of the components in the production order that is getting automatically generated during sales order creation is failing. The components are not getting confirmed inspite of initialising the stock of the components in the plant we are using.
I am looking for pointers on the important settings related to the availability check in Configure to Order scenario that have to checked to resolve this issue.
TIAHi,
Availability check controls for Production order will be done in OPJK for plant , order type combination. Based on the settings either for creation or release system will carry Availability check of components. you can set the controls such that release can be possible even if parts are missing.
If you have settings to restrict the release if components are missing and there is stock in unrestricted, then you need to transfer the stock to the sales order using MB1B and 413 movement type so that system can recognize the availability and allow the release of order.
Based on your requiremnts you can map the settings in OPJK
Hope this will help

Valuated Sales Order stock for Semi-Finished Products
Dear Gurus,
One of my client faced the issue that the semi-finished products is valuated-sales order. We are in Mill Industries, downstream (steel processing). The situation is:
1. We use configuration material for both finished and semi-finished products. Both are valuated at standard costs with valuated sales order stock.
2. Once the sales order is created, the cost estimates are created for both Finished, and semi-finished products.
3. The production orders is created for the semi-finished products. During production, several semi-fg and fg can be manufactured at the same time. We are using the co-products feature to cover that.
4. During the goods receipt of semi-finished products, instead of using the standard costs in sales order cost estimate, it use the planned costs in production orders which against our design.
I tried to use the user exit COPC002 and influence the standard costs. But it seems that the routine is not called for semi-fg at all. Anyone has any light on this?
Regards,Hi
I think you are talking about Special Stock "E"...ie) Sale Order Stock...
If my understanding is correct then,
If you go and see the Table T156....For the
Movement Type: 101,
Special stock Indicator : E,
Qty. Updation Checked,
Val. Updation Checked,
Movement Indicator : Against PO,
Consumption Indicator: Sales Order Stock.....combination....the transaction Event Key....GBB only has been Assigned....these settings you cannot change...
This linkage you can view in OLMW-----> Account Determination -
> Acc. Determination W/O Wizard -
>Account Grouping....also
Reward if useful

Initial Stock Posting for Semi Finished Goods
Dear Friends,
I have a small doubt in Initial Stock Posting.
Is Initial Stock Posting for Semifinished Goods (HALB)?
Or Initial Stock Posting available only for Finished Products?
Please answer this.
Regards,
Rajesh LHi,
MB1C + 561 can be used for all of your goods from which you want to keep stock. So, raw materials, SFGs, FGs can be uploaded based on your business requirement.
Your material masters should be extended to the suitable organisational levels (plant, SLoc, WH), so suitable material master views should exist at proper organisational levels.

Error creating a requisition for a finished product
Hello,
I am having the following error message while trying to order a finished product(FERT):
"Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant XXX (Pl. check your input)".
I have maintained the plant/storage location view for that plant.
But I'm still getting the same error.
Please help.Hi Chaka,
This problem will occur if you not copied plant but created plant indivisually. Please check whether value updation and qty updation tick is there for material type.
This will solve your prob 100 %

STO for semi finished product along with returnable package
Dear Experts,
I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
Regards
sai krishnaThe packagings material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method.
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material -
Quota planning for the vendor products
Dear Folks,
I have a scenario where my client is a authorized company to sell the products of some vendors and to maintain this, my client (company) has to achieve some annually targets given by the vendors.
My requirement is to: Define the quota planning for sales representative based on vendors also.
Do i also need to first create a custom field in product for the vendor while replicating from ECC?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Dinesh.Hi Dinesh,
In that case , you can do quota Planning based on the org unit structure only.
Maintain Org unit considering the hierarchy such as :
Upper level - Product
Middle level - Vendor
Lower level - sales Representatives
It means you have to create org structure for each possible combinations.
If you have existing Org unit mapped with ECC , you have to change the org structure in CRM and maintain the above structure between the existing org unit if you want ECC org units getting determined in Opportunity level.
Best Regards

Authorisation for Semi Finish Product Only....
Hi Experts,
I want to give authorisation for MM01 transaction and for only material type 'Semi Finish'. How to give only for Semi Finish to create?
For display I want to give full authorisation ?
YAB
Message was edited by:
YUSUF BHORI1. Use transaction MMB1 which is specially designed for creating semi-finished products. However I don't know of this really blocks the road for creating materials of another type.
2. If you really want to authorize on Material Type you need to set an authorization group on the material type. In SPRO: Logistics - General --> Material Master --> Basic Settings --> Material Types --> Define Attributes of Material Types. Select Material Type HALB and type in a ctext of your choice in the Authorization Group field (tip: just use the name of the Material Type: HALB).
Restrict on Authorization object M_MATE_MAR as follows:
M_MATE_MAR
Activity 01, 02
Authorization Group HALB
M_MATE_MAR
Activity 03
Authorization Group 0-HALA, HALC-Z
Good luck!
Points are always appreciated!
Kind regards,

Alternate Bom for a finished product has huge varience in cost estimate
Hi all
I have created alternate BOMs for a finished material. One is local raw materials and another has imported raw materials. Goods are produced using both these boms but in one period i can release cost estimate of one BOM. Thats why there is a huge variance in cost estimate when alternate BOM is used for the material. kindly give me a solution as to how i can fix this issue.

Creating finished-product with necessary semi-finished product with BAPI
Hi,
I really need help to be able to save materials made up of several parts with BAPI.
Let me show you the idea by using the example of car (finished product):
Car is built from a lot of components, for instance:
- 1 engine
- 4 tires
- 2 front lights
etc.
My task is to implement a method responsible for creating a finished product and all necessary semi-finished products which are connected with ready prod and save them in SAP. Furthermore I've got to create a bill of materials.
Has somebody faced such a problem? How have you solved it?
Looking forward your answers.
BR,
Rafalok....but do u know which option I am supposed to enable to create BOM?
According to my best knowledge there is no BAPI to create BOM...i tried to find.
I found out that I have to create material master record for trading goods(type: HAWA ) and create Semifinished products (HALB) by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA (hopefully I'm right), but I still don't know how to connect them with each other and then use to create BOM.
Every help will be warmly appreciated.
If somebody may provide me an example it will be great.
BR,
