Min Lot Size and Rounding value

Hello MM Gurus
need a small help!
I m a bit confused regarding the use of Min lot size and Rounding value in material master "MRP 1" view..
can some body teach me a detailed functionlity for both..
As both serve the purpose ..for e.g. my requirement is 7 and min lot is 10 system will create proc.proposal for 10
in similar way if i use rounding value as 10 , then als system will create proc.proposal for 10 only even if requirement is 7.
grateful if you could pl expain me the functionality of both...
another query..if I use Min lot size in material master will the same will serve the puspose of <b>min order qty ( maintained in PIRs)</b>
i'lll appriciate with good reward points...thanks in advnace
Br
Sumit

Helo Guys..
Thanks for valuable inputs..
i have assigned the appropriate rewards ..
pl clear my this doubt also
e.g. for a materials
Min Lot size - 40
Rounding value 25
requirement is for - 35
will it be 40 or 50 ..i understand 50..
j
ust anothe rquery..pl treat this separate issue..and separate rewards will be given
<b>can I use max stock level w/o use of lot size "HB"</b>
e.g. if my max stock level is 80
and min lot size is 30 and current stock is 60
what'll be my proc proposal created by MRP , i dont want system to cross 60 stck,,
Thanks in advance

Minimum Lot Size with Rounding Value

Hi I have an interesting scenario.
I just want my procurement proposals to be generated in multiples of 40000. But I have agreed to my vendor on Minimum Lot Size of 75000 qty. My aim is to generate the proposals with 80000 qty even for the demand of 25000.
But when i am carrying out the MRP run for the demand of 20000, ssytem is plan only for 75000. But when i increased the demand to 50000 or more system plans in multiples of 40000, i.e. 80000 qty.
Is there by anyways can we plan in multiples of 40000 eventhough the min lot size is 75000 and the demand is 20000?
-solai

Hi,
Maintain lot size as EX, Minimum lot size as 80000 and rounding value as 40000 in the MRP to get the procurement proposals in multiples of 40000.

Rounding Value,Minimum Lot Size and Maximum Lot Siz parameters

Hello Gurus,
Please explain me the what is the use of the parameter Rounding Value
,Minimum Lot Size and Maximum Lot Size parameters in the product master and how does it in impact during the Heuristic Run?
Thanks.

Rounding value is the incremental quantities in which the order can be produced/procured. Eg. if orders are possible with quantities 40,60, 80, 100 etc..then rounding value is 20.
Min lot size is the minimum quanity in which order can be produced eg. 40 in above example
Max lot size is the maximum quanitity in which the order can be produced/procured. eg. 100 in our example
Impact on Heuristic run: heuristics takes all the above parameter to plan supply order. eg. if requirement is 55, it will supply plan for 60. If requirement is 120, it will produce two orders - one for 100 and the other for 20. if the reuqirement is 10, the order size will be 40.
Hope this helps.

Reg: lot size and replenishment lead time

1. please explain about lot size and replenishment lead time.
2. please also explain about consumption based planing and in steps explain how to perform manual and automatic reorder point(transc code please)

You use the lot-sizing procedure to determine how the system is to calculate the reorder quantity in the planning run.
A lot size defining the lot-sizing procedure is assigned to every material master record applicable to materials planning.
The lot size is defined in Customizing by the combination of the lot-sizing procedure and the lot-sizing indicator.
Three procedures for lot sizing are available:
o static lot-sizing procedures
o period lot-sizing procedures
o optimizing lot-sizing procedures
You use the lot-size indicator to define the procedure.
The following parameters are also available for controlling the lot-sizing procedure:
o Short-term and long-term lot size
   You can split the lot-sizing procedure into a short-term and a long-term period. This means that you can select one lot-sizing procedure in the near future and a different one in the distant future.
You define the periods in the section of the screen entitled "End of the short-term period/start of the long-term period".
   The valid from date of the long-term lot size area is defined via:
   - a periodicity
   - a number of periods
   The beginning of the long-term period is calculated by taking today's date and adding the number of periods in the future; the long-term planning period then starts on the next complete period.
   Note
For materials that are planned using the short and long-term lot size,
   it is recommended that you define a maximum MRP period. Defining the
   MRP period has the effect that materials after a certain period are
   included in planning even if no changes relevant to the planning run
   have occurred. This avoids a situation where order proposals created
   with the long-term lot size move into the short-term period because no
   changes relevant to MRP have occurred for the material.
   You define the maximum MRP period in the step, "Define maximum MRP
   period". A material that is planned on a regular basis should also be
   provided with an MRP type that contains the indicator for regular MRP.
o Scheduling indicator
   For period lot sizes, you can use the indicator for scheduling to
   determine whether the availability date;
o is to be set to the first requirements date in the period
o or is to be set to the beginning of the period
o is to be set to the end of the period
o or whether the period start represents the beginning of the planned
   order and the period end represents the availability date (repetitive
manufacturing)
Interpretation of the delivery times
For the lot-sizing procedure, you can also define whether the period
start is to be interpreted as the delivery date or as the availability
date using the indicator, "interpretation of the calendar times".
NOTE
The indicators, Scheduling and Interpr.deliv.times are mutually
exclusive.
Indicator for the splitting quota
For the quota arrangements, you can determine whether the requirements
quantities are to be distributed to several items, that is, whether
they are to be split. With the splitting quota arrangement,
requirement quantities are not simply allocated to the smallest quota
rating. Instead, they are distributed among various sources using the
following formula:
Quantity for source of supply X = Quota of source X * reqmts quantity
Sum of all quotas
Overlapping indicator
The overlapping indicator along with the cycle time in the material
master record are used to split the planned orders into several
partial quantities whereby the in-house production time overlaps by
the cycle time.
Lot-sizing procedure for make-to-order production
In make-to-order production, you can use the indicator, Lot size for
make-to-order production to determine whether,
the order quantity is to be calculated using the exact lot size
the order quantity is to be calculated using the exact lot size and
the system is also to take the rounding quantity or the minimum and
maximum lot size into account
the order quantity is to be calculated using the lot-sizing procedure
defined for the short-term area
Maximum stock level variant
The system only displays the Maximum stock level variant field in the
lot-sizing procedure, Replenishing to maximum stock level. The
indicator only has an effect in connection with reorder point planning
taking external requirements into account and in connection with
material requirements planning and controls how the system calculates
lot sizes.

CTM Planning: How to Handle Min Lot Size Daily Resource Capacity?

Hello,
I am facing a situation where the Min Lot Size values require more than a days capacity of the Resource.
Finite Planning CTM is skipping all demands.
Example:
Daily Resource Availability = 24 Hrs,
Capacity Consumption per PPM = 1000 Kgs / 1 Hour.
Min Lot Size = 50,000 Kgs
Capacity requirement for the 50,000 Kgs = 50 Hrs
Is there a way CTM can plan this?
Thanks,
Ran

Yes the time buckets in CTM profile has nothing to do with this limitation...
Nor does the infinite/finite setting.
Basically its a limitation of how the resources are stored in livecache.
You can not exceed the capacity for which the resource is stored...
The only workaround is to define the resourcde in weekly time buckets by manually defining a capacity profile.
I don't like this as every order will take a week...
I am not aware of any other workaround...
I have seen other clients take out the minimum lot size for SNP, then when cif transfer the order back to R/3, it is combined to 1 large order...

Default costing lot size and price unit as 100 in material master

Hello,
The costing lot size and price unit is "1" by default in material master. Due to this in CK11N the costing lot size is coming as 1.
Then we go to MM02 and change the master by making costing lot size as 100 and price unit as 100.
Please advise how can we make this default as 100 instead of 1 in material master. So that everytime we don't need to change.
Is it coming from BOM?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan
No doubts, it is ABAP's responsibility to develop it.. It requires ABAP code to be written
The functional specifications need to be given by you.. This BADI is called during Mat Master Creation/Change.. Your Func Specs should cover
1. Which Mat types it should be used for
2. The costing lot size and price unit to be defaulted...
I used it to check Plant = Profit Center and it worked... For whatever checks and validations required during Mat Master creation, this badi needs to be used

Planned order with Lot size and Planning Calendar in MRP

Hi All
I request your help in understanding MRP results in below mentioned scenario:

"My PIRs are:

I am executing MRP on 7.04.11
As shown above the, can you please explain why the planned order is on Wed 12th and it covers 5 days requirement and similarly Tuesday 19th and covers 6 days.
I am not able to relate the relation between Planning calendar and Lot size procedure used. Also what would happen if I make planning calendar valid for two days in a week.
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Thanks dear
Yes you are right the Planning Calendar starts 18.4.11 and ends 24.4.11
Now as far as first planned order is concerned I thought it should be scheduled to start&end on Monday 11.04.11, rather it starts&ends on Tuesday 12.4.11. Also the actual coverage days goes up to 5 days even though its maintained for 3 days.
Similarly the second planned order also comes up on Tuesday 19.04.11 and covers 6 days (more than the setting and planning Calendar of only Monday)
On the whole this is confusing me on Lot size and Planning Calendar relation and how it impacts MRP. Can you please help me on this.
Also if you can throw some details on: how to restrict MRP to give planned order only on, say, Monday and Thursday, as only then it could be produced.
Thanks in advance
Rahul

Combination of Fixed Lot size and Period lot size

Dear all
I have scenario as follows:
1. My supplier's standard packing size of a raw material is 1000 EA.
2. I want to follow period based lot size to optimise my order and inventory cost. But I don't want to use dynamic lot size which will propose dynamic quantity.
So my requirement is like I want to fix lot size as 1000 at material master and Period is Week. My proposal quantity must be 5000 EA for the following demand pattern:
Week 1:1200
Week 2: 1000
Week 3: 1100
Week 4: 1000
System must consider period as well as fixed quantity.
Kindly throw some light on this.
Advance thanks.

Hi
1.As you are looking for Weekly demand demand quanityt , you have to assign Weekly Lot Size : WB.
2. Goto OWD1 and Create a Rounding Profile which will rounds into Weekly Demand quantity for that plant and simulate .
3.Assign this rounding profile in MMR in MRP1
3.DO NOT assing rounding valu as 1000 .Rather keep it blank
Hope this will solve the problem

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!

Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Why Illustrator change entered size and position values?

Hy All!
Illustrator 5.5 always change my entered size or position values.
(For example: I type 10mm, hit enter, and 10 changed to 10,231mm.)
I checked again and again, but I have no any enabled snap function.
I have Illustrator CS6 too, what works fine (but much slower).
Checked all my setting about 5 times, still didn't find the solution...
Thank you for your tips!
(MBP 17", C2D 2,5GHz, 4Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.8.)

The measurement you type in defines the frame of your shape. The new measurement you see includes the width of the stroke.
Under your Illustrator preferences, if you uncheck "use preview bounds", it will leave your measurements as you typed them, but it will not include the width of any stroke that is aligned to center or outside of your box.

EX lot size for maximum value

Hi Could someone answer this, my minimum lot size is 100 and max is 500, when my PIR qty is 90 it will generate planned order for 100 where as when my PIR is 600, i am expecting the planned order qty for 500 but it always the same with minimum lot size, is there any specific reason? using mrp type PD.

Hi Sprint,
Well you have to go through with the lot size procedures OK. EX means lot for lot order quantity so it does not consider the MINIMUM lot size OK please check once again OK.
If you are order quantity is 600 and maximum lot size is 500 then after running the MRP go to MD04 screen you can see there planned orders will be created so there first it will create Planned order for 500 quantity and then there will be another planned order for 100 please check once OK.
It will consider only maximum lot size OK.

Fixed Lot Size and Assemby Scrap

Hi Gurus,
I've an issue using a Material with Fixed Lot Size (MRP View) and Assembly Scrap.
The system doesn't increase the base quantiy (creating a Process Order) with the Assembly Scrap defined in the Material Master, if you change manually the quantity in the COR2 quantiy will be recalculated correctly.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks
Marco

dear marco,
One changes in my earlier post
IF fixed lot size is 1000, and assemby scrap as 10 %
if the pir is for 900
after running MRP system will create a plan order for 1000
In MD04 , you can see the receipt reqmt as 900 and scrap as 100
i.e System will allocate the scrap with in the fixed lot size
Once the plan order is converted in to process order you can see
the total qty as 1000 and scrap 100
for other lot size system will add the PIR reqmt +assembly scrap %,
Yes you can change the qty in COr2, system will update as per the scrap qty , i.e system will allocate the qty for scrap
for ex , if you are changing the total qty as 10000, system will propose 1000 as scrap,
when you save the order and see the mD04
you can see the receipt/ reqmt qty as 9000 and scrap as 1000
i.e system will allocate the 1000 qty from total qty
Hope you are clear how the fixed lot size is working for assembly scrap

Fixed lot size and Minimum lot size

Dear senior,
My client has the following scenario. His supplier provides the item in a fixed lot size of 100. The minimum lot size to be ordered is 300.
The supplier is a fixed vendor.
I tried to maintain this information in the Material Master MRP views. Lot size - FX, Fixed lot size - 100, Minimum lot size - 300.
However, everytime, the minimum lot size will get reset.
Is there any way , I can maintain this scenario via configuration or any other method?
Thank you.

Hi,
Fixed lot size - 100 means for every 100 quantity system will create one purchase document.
If you selected Lot size - FX - Fixed order quantity , then no need to maintain Minimum lot size & Maximum lot size fields.
Then you have to maintain Fixed lot size filed only.
Ex:
Lot size = FX
Fixed lot size = 100
There is a requirement of 300. Then system will create 3 PO's with quantity of 100 each.
If Lot size is Ex - Lot-for-lot order quantity, then only need to maintain Minimum lot size & Maximum lot size fields in the MRP 1 view.
Ex: Lot size = EX
Minimum lot size = 60
Maximum lot size = 100
There is a requirement of 250. Then system will create 3 purchase documents, two documents with the quantity of 100 and third one with the quantity of 60.
That's why, in your case system is reseting Minimum lot size every time.
If you want to maintain Minimum lot size, then maintain
Lot size as EX
Minimum lot size = 100
Max lot size = 300
It will solve your problem.

Svg charts - size and default value

is there any way to make svg chart size smaller? i want to fit 6 graphs onto a page and even with the 350x315 setting, they are still too big
also, when i have a query like this:
select null, c.nodes, count (*)
from customers c, country_region_mapping m
where system_status='Production'
and c.country = m.country
and decode(:P4_REGION, '%', 1, m.region, 1, 0)=1
and decode(:P4_COUNTRY, '%', 1, m.country, 1, 0) =1
and decode(:P4_INDUSTRY, '%', 1, c.industry, 1, 0) =1
group by nodes
the page initially comes up empty. in other words, the charts have no data.
is there anyway to default to all

i'm currently checking on your question about the chart sizes, but the second part of your question sounds easy enough. it looks like your query will return all the rows "from customers c, country_region_mapping m where system_status='Production' and c.country = m.country" when the default values of :P4_REGION, :P4_COUNTRY, and :P4_INDUSTRY are '%'. if that's how you're going about things, you can simply set your defaults for these items to the percent sign in those items' respective definition screens. this way, even before your items get a session state value, they'll be assigned their default "%" values and your query will return rows.
i'll get back to you soonish re the svg chart sizes,
