MD74 on MTO items???

Hi All,
After reading about MD74 on this site. I am planning to use this t-code. Most blogs reff to STG 40 while creating PIRu2019s .
What if I have a certain range of MTO product with PIRu2019s? Will MD74 work on them?
Only way I can link Sales order and Production order is by using STG 20. hence it is imp for me to use this setting for an MTO product. But in my scenario we do forecast for such products (MTO) to create a material demand.
I am not sure how MD74 will work using this stg group 20?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Deepak

Dear
If your scenario is MTO & you also need a forecast (ie PIR) to be maintained in system for your finished goods, then SAP has provided standard planning strategy =50.
As one of the experts already mentioned it is not possible to maintain PIR in MD61 with PS =20. It is possible only with 50.
It is a very useful PS & I have used it for MTO scenarios that require Forecasting ( Demand planning )
Use this planning strategy when the main value-added process is final assembly. It is the most widely-used strategies in a make-to-order environment. Like all make-to-order strategies, you should use strategy 50 if production is unique for each and every customer;
Prerequisites : You must maintain the following master data for the finished product:
Strategy group 50 on the MRP screen
Consumption parameters (Consumption mode, Bwd consumption, Fwd consumption) so that the independent requirements can be found.
Item category group (for example, NORM) on the Sales Organization View of finished product
A BOM is required for the finished product.
You may want to consider setting the Individual/coll. indicator to 2 for a make-to-stock procurement of components in a make-to-order environment.
"End Result"
1. Maintain PIr in MD61 for FG
2. Run MRP
3. Planned order (order type VP) will be created for FG but it cannot be converted to production order till Actual Sale order is created in system
4. However Procurement of the components & production of Sub assemblies can be carried out up to one level before the finished product level.
5. The assemblies and components required for producing the finished product are placed in stock to await the incoming sales order.
6. Once the actual sales order is created it then consumes the (PIR) planned independent requirements, and this in turn reduces the unconvertible planned order quantity.

MTO item allocation

Hi,
If an item is MTO, will the allocation be automatic to a sales order after the goods has been produced? If yes, how is this configured in SAP
Thanks.

is there a way i can generate a report of GR items which can include the SO number assigned to that Production Order received? something like below:
GR # Items Description Qty Sales Order Allocated
11000001 Material A abc 100pcs 100000001
thanks!

Make to order item

Hi Experts,
I want to create Make-to-order.but when I entering material, it is showing an error message "item category can not determined...". I also created material with item category group(0001-make to order). should I enter item category manually in the sales order for the make-to-order item? I also created material (MM01) with Industry sector-mechanical engineering and material type- semi finished material. should I select finished product here? Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The item category determination in VOV4 needs to be done for the combination Sales order type /Item category group (here - 0001/- / - = TAK.
Also check Setting of TAK (MTO item) in VOV7 and maintain VOV5 and determine Schedule line Category CP .
Then Punch the Order VA01 with the MTO item category which you have maintained in MM01.

Item Category - Serial number status Link

Experts,
What is the link between item category and serial number status in sales document. When I create an outbound delivery for one item category, the serial number in outbound delivery becomes ESTO to ECUS. For another item category it becomes ESTO to ECUS ESTO. How is it maintained.
I want to change the transfer status from ESTO to ECUS instead of ECUS ESTO for one item category. How can I accomplish this. Please advice.
Thanks
Manassha.

These are system statuses that are maintained and delivered by SAP. They are activated or deactivated by performing an application procedure, or directly.
typically when the Eqpt. is in stock, it will be in ESTO-' in the warehouse' system status.
Once you assign it in a delivery, it will have 2 statuses- EDEL, ESTO- ' In the warehouse' ( as it has not been Goods Issued yet) and ' Assigned in delivery note'.
Once you do a GI of the delivery, I t will be in ECUS- 'At customer site'- status. This is for normal items.
For customer Consignment Fill-up orders, once you deliver and PGI, the eqpt will be in the unusual sounding state of ECUS ESTO, because it is goods issued to a customer at the same time because it is associated with Consignment Fill-up ( and not consignment Issue), it will be in ESTO status as the eqpt is still in our stock. I am guessing even Equipment related Made-to-order (MTO) items will have similar status when received from Production Order to sales order stock.
There is no way you could influence this because this is 'system status' and gets determined by what you did- Transactions like PGI, Good receipt etc.
Hope this is clear.

Create MTO production order immedately after running MRP

HI experts,
Does a stragtey group can be used for a material to create MTO production order/purchase order after running MRP?
Or how we can set a material to create MTO production/purhcase order immedately after running MRP?
Now we are using stragety group 50 for make to order material.
After running MRP, material will create a Make-to-order plan orders. Then we converted them into purchase order or production order based on propurment type.
Thank you for your response~
Boris

Dear
Please assing Planning Stargety -82 if you want production order just after logging sales order .Here MRP will be executed in background and it will generate Production Order fro MTO item and for depedent it will generate PR/PO .Make sure that , you have kep Individaul and Collective Indicator as 1 in MRP4 view of all the compoenets which have used in BOM .

Schedule Line for Make to Order Item.

Hello
In make to order scenario, there are 2 schedule lines for the MTO item in create mode of Order. 0 confirm quantity on the req
When I save the order, i can see only one schedule line with confirm quantity 0.

Hi,
Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is
determined on the basis of the MRP group and the strategy group in the material master record.
 Create material by specifying item category group as 0001 = Make u2013 to u2013 order (Normal item)
In MM01 Basic data tab, General item category field [0001] = Make u2013 to u2013 order, 0002 for configurable
material
Make u2013 to u2013 order checking group for availability check should be [02] = Individual requirements in Sales:
General/Plant tab.
 Go to VA01 and raise the sales order by specifying this material that we created in the previous step
Item category is TAK
Schedule line category = CP
Requirement type = KE [Sales order Header  Procurement  Requirement field]
KE = Individual customer order without consumption
(For standard items item category group = NORM)
System determines requirement type 041-order/delivery requirements. This requirement type points requirement
class where we can control whether the system has to carryout TOR, Availability check, and Product allocation
functions.
Hope this helps.

MTO order problem

Hi Gurus
when i create a Production Order for a material (MTO scenario strategy 25), the system gives the error "You cannot make an assignment to make-to-order stock". If i click ok it is terminating the transaction
i maintained order type dependent parameters, scheduling parameters, Confirmation parameters, checking control for that order type.
I am not able to change the distribution rule in the OPL8 controlling tab.
Is it the reason, system is terminating the creation of production order for the MTO item?
Please give me solution.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi all,
Thank you for your replies.
I checked the following as you suggested.
1. Tried creating production order by CO08
2. Maintained strategy 25 in MRP3 view
3. Maintained the correct order type in the Prod.scheduling profile
4.Sales order have been created with Req. type KEK.
But still the same error is coming and terminating the transaction.
Please suggest me some solution for this.
Thanks & Regards

Sales order stock on delivery document and transfer order

Hi all,
At my current client I have a requirement where we need to put stock against sales order (sales order stock E). So, being a MTO process we create production order and perform goods reciept to unrestricted stock. To avoid getting picked up by a different sales order, we move the stock to sales order stock using 412 E (tcode: MB1B). Here are the issues I am facing currently:
1. Is there a direct way of receiving production order directly to sales order stock?
2. I couldn't find a way to do the first, so I am currently receiving production order against unrestricted inventory and then move it using MB1B. So, the stock can be seen to assigned to sales order.
2a. When I create delivery it is not consuming same stock, it is consuming inventory out of unrestricted stock (if any, in case no inventory is available it throws error of 0 available quantity). Once I have assigned sales order stock why is it still looking into unrestricted? Is it due to the requirement type which is assigned. Do I need to change the item category so availability will check sales order stock (similar to item category TAB)?
2b. This probably will be resolved if I get the delivery fixed but we have SAP WM and during TO creation I don't see the special stock reference filled in? I tested this process with item category ZTAB (copy of TAB) which creates purchase requisition and it seems to be working but I don't need the purchase req for my case.
3. This is more of an accounting issue: when I attempt to move stock from unrestricted to sales order stock using 412 E, I was getting "Account XXXXX is not assigned to cost center". So, I went in an assigned a cost center to this cost element. IS THIS REQUIRED & WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE as it takes stock out of inventory.
I understand it crosses other functional areas but even if you can clarify 1 part of it, will be very helpful.
Thanks.

Dear Friend
You are telling that it is MTO scenario and you are posting stocks into unrestricted stocks
This is entirely wrong
This is happening because of a simple thing missing in your sales order item category configuration in VOV7 that is special stock indicator E is missing which should be there
This is the cause of whole problem
MTO item categories will have special stock indicator E in standards
In MTO based on the sales order production order is triggered and stocks are receipted against sales order and not into unrestricted use by defaut in standard
You will receive MTO stocks as sales order stocks in your plant only in standard
But it is not happening for you because of stock indicator E in VOV7 of your sales order item category is missing
Posting MTO stock in to unrestricted use is meaningless and the same is happening because of a slight miss out in setting in VOV7
This is the solution for issue no 1
For issue no 2
You have created the sales order( MTO order) without special stock indicator E and now you are doing a transfer posting in MB1B with 412 E referencing the order no sales order stocks that is Fine
You are getting an error that only zero qty is available either at delivery or at pgi eventhough in MMBE you will find sales order stocks in your order name
This is happening because
Reservation in MB1B is done with special stock indicator E for sales order
But the same sales order is not created with special stock indicator E in VA01 during creation
There is a mismatch
Hence the system is not able to sense while the order comes for delivery there are already stocks are reserved
By inputting special stock indicator E for sales order item category the whole issues will get solved
By doing that there is no need to do MB1B itself
The first step itself will get corrected as the stocks will be posted to sales order stocks no need for MB1B
No need to touch TAB make it ZTAB as it is meant for a different purpose it is for individual purchase order not to be used for MTO
*By marking the special stock indicator as E in your sales order item category your entire issue will be resolved*
Issue no 3
MTO is based on costing for which you have take the help of FI person
Note Very important
If U make the settings now in item category it will not work for the existing or already created order
With existing orders it will have the same error as the order is created without special stock indicator E
Only for new orders it will work and from Now on it will work
Test it with new order cycle starting from VA01
Please let me know this issue has got solved or not?
I am 200 % sure it will get solved

Movement type 311 E in WM

Hi gurus,
I am working on product support @clients place where we have MTO items.
Now the scenario is that a material XYZ was Goods Receipted in a wrong storage location (0001) by the Production Order confirmation. This was due to the way it was setup was incorrect.
So to create a Delivery for these items, I had to move the stock from the current location (0001) to another location(0002) in the same plant.
For this I used MB1B - 331 E. This worked fine on the IM side.
Now on the WM side there was an entry e.g. 0001 E - Storage type (010) before the change was done.
After the change, the transfer posting entered a negative entry for the same quantity of the item. However this negative entry is lying in the Interim storage type 992 e.g. 0001 E - Storage type (992)
I want to nullify these 2 entries. So i read on some forums & thought of doing a LT01 and transfer the positive value from 0001 E - 010 to 0001 E - 992.
However for storage type 010, negative stock is not allowed.
I am confused & dont know what to do in this case.
Can anyone tell me how to nullify this WM stock ?
Your help will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Hi,
If my understanding is correct. You want to transfer post a stock of material from one storage location to another ( IM perspective ) and from one bin to another bin belonging to different storage types but same plant ( WM perspective ).
As this transfer posting does not involve any Sales order what is the logic behind the selection of movement type 311 E.
I hope you can very well make use of 311 movement type for the transfer posting in IM which will lead to the generation of a PCN in the WM side. On confirming the same you will be able to do the reflection of Transfer posting in WM side also.
I would suggest you to follow the above steps.
1) First check the transfer posting 311 E which you have already completed a PCN in the background. If it is availble, just try to confirm the posting Change notice which will clear off the negative entry and a correponding postitive entry in the receiving storage type.
2) In case if the system have not generated the PCN, then better to cancel the material docuemnt and re do the transfer posting to carry out the process from the start with the movement type 311 which will yield a PCN which can be confirmed to see the stock in the required storage type and in the respective bin accoring to the strategy set.

Special stock indicator in production order

Hi,
We have a new business scenario from sales department.
For example, A is a MTO item, it has component B & C. Now there is a sales order for A come in, and system create a production order, but there is no enough stock for B. They want to:
1, Allocate C to the production order and other production order or sales order can not take it away via V_V2 or MRP run.
2. Create another seperate purchase order for B and want this purchase order also allocate to this production order.
3. They do not want to use WIP stock because it is difficult to display WIP stock in SAP you know.
I trying to use the special stock indicator "E" for components in production order, and I move C to custom stock via 412 E with no issue.
But when I create a purchase order for B with account assignment "F", it goes to normal stock in MD04. After I post GR for the purchase order, the quantity goes to production order directly, does not show in MD04 and did not reduce the requirement quantity.
If I create a purchase order for B with account assignment "E", it gives an error message "Sales document item is not defined for the transaction. I tried to change the requirement type from "KMFA" to "KE" in the sales order for A, and the production order disappeared, it is not accepted.
How should I define and configure the process?
Thank you so much.
Albert

Hi Albert
I suggest you to take a look on the setting "individuall/collective" on the tab MRP4 of the material master.
For both components, you should set the value 1 and system will always plan the components under the sales order special stock.

Duplicate Entries For Cost Elements

Hi All,
We have a situation in which in a particular inventory org duplicate entries of a cost elements have got created. eg: Material Cost Element has appeared twice or thrice for an item, similarly material overhead, resource etc. due to which the item cost has shoot up.
Can someone please suggest what could be the possible reason for the same? Its lil urgent.
Thanks!!!

Dear
Can please confirm wether this depdends are for any MTO order ? I mean you have Sales Order for FERT with MTO item categoery and running MRP in MD02 .In that case whether , it is generating multiple similar MRP elements.
Basically , this is happen based on the Planning Horizon as well as Re-schedule horizon kept into OPPQ /MRP relevent paramentrs/OPPR in case of MRP group .If your firm reciept like Production Order are boyond the planning horizon during your MRP run , demnad will be re-considerde to create Planned order .So chek the PH/Rescheduling horizon .So keep bit larger Re-scheduling Horzon .
Refer our earlier posting : new planned orders on next MRP run
Other possibilites can be explored in the SAP notes from sales stand point : SAP Note : 744305/744484/80891

OSS Note 128947

Hi,
I have 2 order items that are closed but still show up in MD04. I am applying OSS NOTE 128947 : Correction of SD document indexes. I will be running report SDRQCR21. But at the bottom of the report it says that "The SDRQCR21 report works incorrectly if the material indexes of VAPMA (Sales and distribution documents) or VLPMA (Deliveries) are incorrect"
I need to know what does it stands for and what will be its impact.
Can we run for only certain documents?
Regards,
Naveen

Why don't you run the report even before applying the OSS note and check? Are the items MTO items?
You can run this only for material+Plant combination.

Custom Sales Order Status

Hi gurus,
My client has a requirement to create custom order statuses.
Currenlty std SAP provides with only a few statusses which doesnt give enuf visibility to the Sales Representatives abt which stage the Order is:
Open (When SO is created & delv is not yet being created)
Being Processed (when a Delivery Document for a few items is created)
Completed (When Delivery Document is created for all the items)
Now the Sales Representative wants to see statuses which would show at which stage the item fulfillement is, in case of a MTO item.
Thus a rought estimate of the order statuses that are expected at sales order level are:
Open
Productiom order released
Production order confirmed
Being processed (when a Delivery Document for a few items is created)
Delivery created (When Delivery for all items relevant for delivery is created)
Shipped(PGI is done )
Can anyone explain me step by step how to acheive this ?
I have gone thru thread for User Status Profiles. However I am unable to know how to make use of it for my scenario, which includes displaying the update of succeding document Transaction (eg Production Order/Delivery Doc. Transactions) in Sales order.
This is due to the fact that we are using SAP CRM for our front end which has visibility only to a Sales Order.
( Also this configuration has to be done in ECC as CRM will only download it -- in case someone suggests to do it in CRM )
Thanks in Advance

Hi Vinit
Can you please explain as to how did you achieve this?

Problem with Make to Order sales order

Hi,
We are facing a problem with sales order which has Make to order item catagory, Rescheduling is not happening for the sales order of this type. However, we have taken up this issue with SAP and SAP has replied that MTO sales order are Excluded from rescheduling program. SAP has suggested us to use CO28 to reschedule the Production order so that the changes can effect the corrorsponding sales order.
We have observed that when sales order is created with MTO item category, production order is automatically created but when we see the Requirement list in MD04 for the material there is an Exception message as '20' (Cancel process). After the production order is confirmed and goods reciept has done the quantity confirmed against the sales order is becoming ZERO and hence we could not able to create delivery for the sales order.
We kindly request you to help us in this regard. This is creating a big problem for our business.
Thanks counting on your support.
Warm Regards,
Sridhar Burugula

Dear ,
Did you check any sales order reference in your production order assingment tab? Did you check the cost roll up in sales order level based on the BOM and Routung created for dt FG?
I believe the link between Sales Order and Production order lies in requirement Type and Requirement Class in define planning strategy .
Check in you make to order planning stratgey -SPRO-Define Planning Strategy -Make To Order .Here you should keep the correct Requirement type for customer(OVZH) and requirement class (OVZG).
Check and revert

Problems issueing goods to customer

hi mine is make to order production. i ve created a sales order for a material . with strategy 40 in mrp 3 view. they ran mrp for sales order.
a planned order was generated. and then production and goods receipt was done to the SL.after that when i am trying to do Vl01n
no schedule lines due for delivery up to selection date.its not allowing me to issue goods to the customer.i checked the mmbe transaction for materials.they are in sales order stock unrestricted use.
how to solve this.

Hi there,
In a delivery, availability check is usually done at the storage loc level.
In an MTO scenario, goods are GR'ed into a specific storage loc.
So check what storage loc rule is assigned to the delivery type (SPRO --> Logictics Execution --> Shipping --> picking --> Define picking location --> Assign rule for picking location). for eg MALA for LF. MALA is shipping poijt / plant / storage conditons. ALso you have RETA, MARE & any other custom routine.
Then check in OVL3 what storaeg loc determination is maintained for the combination shipping point / plant / storage conditions.
In MMBE give that storage loc & do the availability check.
In our company MTO items are GR'ed into a specific storage loc. Check the same in your company.
Also in the sales order --> Item --> schedule lines you will find 2 dates. The material will be confirmed against the date in the 2nd line (that is the material availability date). Give that date in VL01N, shipping point, sales order to create delivery.
Regards,
Sivanand
