Serial Number assignment in Delivery Note for Make-to-order

Hi experts,
In our current design, we have made it obligatory to enter the serial number in the delivery note for make
to order stocks.
We are also implementing PP and we would like to capture
the serial number specified in the production order and
automatically populate the serial number in the delivery.
Any suggestions on how I can do this is greatly appreciated.

Hi Karun,
Thank you for your kind advice all the time.
I have been looking into it but the LIPS structure does not contain the serial number field...
I have been looking for the routine in the copy control
but have no luck finding such routine...
Thanks for your continuous help and assistance.

Make to order stock delivery issue

hi sap guys
i m creating delivery for make to order stock, when after creating order i try to do vl01n it gives error that * No deliveryrelated items ,no shedule lines due for given date
and in sales order when i check shedule line it shows confirm quanty 0 .
so plse help- wht could be the reason for this
is there any settings or different item category
points will be rewarded

First create an order and save. As it is an Make-to-order item, a Assembly order is generated from the Sales order, which you can find in the Schedule line of item > "Procurement" .
Click on the" procurement" button below the screen, there you will find a Assembly order no.
Presently ,you do not have stock of the MTO material. Once it is assembled, you will receive into your stock against this assembly order.
So, receive the stock in your plant.
Now if you will check the availability, you will find stock is available under "Sales order stock".
You can go for Picking & then PGI.
After PGI, the MTO stock (Sales order stock) is finished, beacuse we do not produce extra as it can not be supplied to other customer.

What are configuration steps in implementation for make to order?

please give the steps for normal production also.

Hi,
Below is the requested info:
Make-to-Order (MTO) Production
Purpose
The planning strategies explained in this section are designed for the production of a material for a specific individual sales order. In other words, you do not want to produce finished products until you receive a sales order. This means that make-to-order strategies always support a very close customer-vendor relationship, because your sales orders are closely linked to production.
The same relationship exists between the sales order and production that exists in a make-to-order environment. Make-to-order is also used in the following environments.
Production using variant configuration
Assemble-to-order
Prerequisites
Choose a make-to-order strategy, if:
The materials are segregated. In other words, they are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs must be tracked at sales order level and not on material level.
Make-to-order strategies should always be combined with lot-size key EX (lot-for-lot. Rounding values should not be used. If you maintain rounding values, they have no effect due to the make-to-order properties of these strategies.
Process Flow:
There are extensive options that enable you to procure components especially for specific sales order items.
You may, however, want to use a different planning strategy to procure components without sales orders. This allows you to keep your replenishment lead time to a minimum. You can do this by:
Planning on the basis of the finished product (see Planning Without Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60))
Planning at component level (see Strategies for Planning Components)
Using consumption-based or Kanban-controlled components
Customer stock can exist on any BOM level. See Stockkeeping at Different BOM Levels for more information.
Because production is closely linked to sales orders, this results in a customer section in the stock/requirements list.
Unplanned goods receipts (such as returns) cannot, as a rule, be used for other sales orders, even if they are in working order, unless they are adapted to meet a customer's needs.
In the basic make-to-order strategy, Make-to-Order Production (20), no specific product structures are required. This means that it does not matter if the material has a BOM or not. The material can be produced in-house, or it can be procured externally. No planning is involved in this strategy.
Planning Without Final Assembly (50) and Planning with a Planning Material (60) do require a specific product structure (i.e. a BOM, which means materials are always produced in-house). These planning strategies assume that you want to plan procurement (production or purchasing) of your components by planning the finished products. This means that you need to have a fairly stable demand for your finished products. If, however, you can plan more easily at component level than at finished product level, see Strategies for Planning Components.
Configuration Settings:
Create material master by maintaining general item category group- 0001(make to order)
Availability check - 02
Transportation Group - 0001
go to va01 and raise sales order
item category:TAk
Schedule line category : cp
Requirement type KE
Requirement class 040
Check TOR and avalability check
special stock : E
VOV7
of TAK
billing relivence : A
Pricing :X
go to mb1c
maintain stock with a special stock indicator E
mavement type 61

specify sales order number line item number and saveit
go to VL01N main data
Go to VF01

Planning run for make to order strategy

Hi,
I am trying to run the complete planning cycle for strategy group 20. But i am unable to do so. Can u please give me a detailed description on the same.
P.S. I did the planning run for strategy group 10, that is , making a plan and converting to active plan etc.
But unable to run for strategy group 20.
Please look into the same.

Hi Geetu
Make to Order Means :
Produce/ Procure the material for this Sales Order (----
Strategy Means :
Effe. procedure/plan to execute Requ.
Advantages of Make to Order :
Reduce the Inventory
Reduce the Cost
Flexible to Customer Requirements
MAKE to ORDER STRATEGY 20
(Pure make to Order)
===============================================================================
u2022     Production & purchase are triggered by Sales order receipt
u2022     System will not perform net requirement calculation between individual sales orders
u2022     Produced quantities canu2019t be switched between one sales order to other
u2022     System creates individual planned orders against each sales order recd. With ref
u2022     Individual & collective requirement indicator controls the level up to which MTO is applicable
u2022     Goods Issue against the sales order reduces the requirement
u2022     System manages the production & procurement costs specifically for each sales order in settlement order
u2022     Lot for lot order qty, is the default lot size followed in MTO, irrespective of the settings in MRP1
==================================================================================
Create a material(MM01) with Strategy Group :20 ( MRP3)
You can check & confirm all those properties by creating a Sales Order (VA01)
See the effect of it after running the MRP ( MD02),
Check the Results in Stock Requirement List ( MD04)
Also, check the stock level of the same material before the Sales Order &
after the Sales Order
If possible, Create One more Sales Order &
see how the quantities of the individual sales Orders are managed.
You can verify all the prosperities of Make to Order (Strategy :20) by yourself
Hope this may Help

Item category determination for make to order item

Hi experts,
how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Neel,
Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

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

Explanation on use of Strategies for Make to Order/ Make to stock scenario

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario. In the BOM, the final Finished Product was to be made for make to order. There are two semi finished material below that. One I want to use it for make to stock and another for make to order. There is one more raw material at the bottom level which I want for make to stock. So I want to know what are the strategies I can use in the material master at all the levels for this scenario. Can anyone explain how can I do it in SAP?
Regards,
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
This indicator will determine the component how it should get produced either individually or collectively
Example
Fert 1 - strategy 20, requirement for this fert Via sales order is 10
Fert 2 - strategy 40 requirement for this fert Via sales order/demand management is 10
ROH is used in both Ferts and mainatined in BOM and also set to indicator 2 ( Colletive ) in MMR
ROH requiement for fert 1 -1 ( BOM )
ROH requiement for fert 2 -1 ( BOM )
after MRP system will create only 1 PR for total qty 20
If ROH is set to 1 ( individually ) then
after MRP system will create 2 PR's as 10 each
Hope it answers your query

Invoice Correction Requests for Make to Order

Dear Gurus
I am creating an Invoice Correction Request for an Invoice which was generated for Make to Order material. I am using Document type RK . I can save Invoice correction Request. But when I generate a Credit Memo it gives message that
000010 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000010)
000020 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000020)
It should not ask for costing here in Credit memo Request.
Even if I do costing for Line 20 it copies only Line 20 in Credit note which gives wrong calculation. Because I cannot change line 10 in Invoice Correction Request.
Pl can you advise whether costing is required in Credit memo request. If not how can I handle this scenario.

Hi,
Just check if you attached status profile to either your sales order header or item.
Just release that first and try again.
Let me know if it helps.

User Steps for Make to Order & Make to Stock

Hi Sapians,
Please guide me as to the users steps to be done in product costing for make to order & make to stock.

Viki
Moderator: Please, read the rules of SDN before posting. You can search for Wiki material or explore help.sap.com for basic process description

Hi there,
Make to order is when you manufacture or procure the material only upon order. Stocks are not maintained for those items in the storage loc. As & when the order comes, a production run is triggered through MRP. After the production, stock is posted as reserved sales order stock. Stock is then made available to fulfill the delivery.
Other items are make to stock. Usually for fast moving or consumer goods, stocks are always mainatined in the plant storage loc. As & when the order comes, availability check is done. If stock is available to meet the delivery date, delivery is proceesed or a confirmed delievry date is proposed basing on the replenishment lead time in availability check.

Mrp for make to order scenario

hi gurus,
I have got a different and challenging scenario in make to order planning. production planning has to be made on sales order basis.for eg : a particular finished product, a sale order of 100 nos is generated. but all 100 nos cannot be produced in single plant. so it has to be distributed to 2-3 plants. one more thing is, for make to order scenario, there is no fixed lot size. based on sale order quantity, planned order is created irrespective of fixed lot size maintained in material master. IF my batch size is fixed, for make to order also based on fixed based size, planned order has to be created.
Can anybody suggest a better solution for this scenario?
Thank you all in advance. all useful replies will be rewarded.

senthil

Hello,
For MTO, Lot for Lot order quantity is defaulted..
So your receipt element will be as per your Sales Order.
Try this:
In T. Code : OMI4, for Lot Size : EX
Change the MTO Lot size to "1" Lot-for-Lot with rounding.
(Which is Blank by default - lot-for-lot)
Maitain the Rounding Value in MRP-1 Screen or Use Rounding Profile..
This Helps..

Sub-Contracting for Make to Order

Hi all
We are having Make to Order Scenario. We have created a sales order and some materials for BOM have to send for Sub-Contracting Process.
I have created a PO with Acct Assignment "E - Ind. cust. w. KD-CO" and Item Category as "L".
But as per Standard SAP Acct Assgnmt "E" and Item Category "L" is not possible.
Consider the Header material is "X " and Component is "Y".
I am having Material "Y " in Sale Order Stock. Now when i do MB1B using 541 mvmgt type the system is not allowing me to post .
please suggest me this scenario how to proceed.
<b>For a Make to Order scenario how to do Sub-contracting Process.</b>
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
For transfering sale order stock to sub-contractor the movement type is 311-E. Here, you have to create the sub-contractor storage location & then transfer the stock (of BOM material) to sub-contractor storage location by movement type 311-E in transaction MB1B. While posting GRN of the upper material, system posts the consumption of the BOM material against the upper material.
Hope this works.

Condition P101 for make-to-order

For stock transport orders, you can use condition type P101 to pull the standard cost of the shipping plant into the purchase order. Is there a similar condition type or routine that can be used for make-to-order product where we can pull the value from the EBEW table of the shipping plant?
thanks,

Copy Control For Individual Purchase Order

Hi, experts,
can you explain to me concretly how to customize the copy control for individual purchase order? We have of course the item category TAB (billing relevance: delivery-related billing) and Sales Order (delivery related billing type: F2). How will the copy control customized with tranc.VTFL? Please give me hints at both header level and item level. I appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Fan.
Edited by: Fan Mou on Jul 22, 2009 11:49 AM

Hi Fan Hou,
The individual Purchase order scenario is as:
Sales order >Purchase Requisition>Purchase order-->Good receipt --> Delivery and PGI --> Billing(wrt Delivery)
The creation of purchase requisition and thereby purchase order is controlled by the schedule line(in std CB). The goods are received with ref. to PO.
As far as copy control is concern it will be as
1)OR-->LF and item category will be TAB
2)LF-->F2 at header level .( can refer the std, )
at item level it will have item category TAB.and will be as
Copying requirements 004
Data BARK/BURP 001
Billing quantity B(Delivery quantity less invoiced quantity)
Pos./meg. quantity +
Pricing type G
