Min Max Planning - Sub Assembly WO Demand Planning

Hi All,
WO for FG should be a demand for WOs for SA. Can Min Max look at the WOs of FGs and if SA is a component, create a WO for SA?
I observed Min Max doesn't support this. Let me know your pointers.

Hi All,
Min Max Planning Supports WIP Demand.

Handling Planned order created from Demand planning and Sales order in MTO

Hi all
In MTO\ Repetitive we genrate Dependent requirement from demand planning (PIR) after running MRP which finally planned order created but on the other hand in short term we have Sales order which generate planned order after running MRP(In MTO), How we should handle planned order generated from Demand planning and the ones generated from sales order.(both after MRP Running).
Regards
Babak Bolourchi

Dear,
You can combine the planning strategy also main as 56 and second as 65 and in demand managment MD61 you have the option select requirement type.
Then while creating sales order use MTO strategy and take MRP run through MD50 and then MD02.
and if you want to assign the stock to sales order then you and do it through MB1b with 412 E movement type.
As per my knowledge, generally 56 strategy only takes Sales Order Stock into consideration.
Consider setting the Individual/Collective indicator to 2.
Mark those characteristics that should have a usage probability in demand management as Relevant for planning.
Hope clear to you.

Planning book design for Demand planning

Dear Experts,
I am in the phase of design planning book
for example
20 Finished products
20 Semi finished products
5 planners
100 customer
Forecast is done on the basis of product, customer , plant and storage location
For the above scenario how many planning book i need to create , Please advise
Thanks in advance
Regards
Raj
Note:
For promotion planning do i need to create seperated planning book or just use the normal book for forecast

Hi rajkumar,
I am hoping that you are asking this question from an authorisation point of view and perfomanc point of view.
From authorisation point view, if you want to restrict the access of diferent stakeholders, you can create different selection ids and restrict the authorisation at that level.
for example, a different selection id could be created for the sales force and restrict their access at their usrd id/selection id level. similary for a business manger, access could be restrcited at a higher level.
from a performance perspective, SAP best practices suggets that you should create a different planning book for batch jobs.
laslty, depending upon your business scenario, you may use the standard planning book provided by SAP for promotion planning.
Let me know if this helps.

Loading Demand plan data from APO to BW

Hi Gurus,
We have requirement as below.
we have to extract two key figures from APO to BW system
The 2key figures of APO will get data as below:
First key figure has to hold Yearly snap shot and 2nd Key figure has to hold QTY snapshot.
we have constrained production plan & sales plan keyfigures in apo demand planning and the requirement is to extract these 2 keyfigure quaintest into BI.
Data Example as below:
KF1: Yearly snapshot
KF2: Quarterly snapshots
Yearly data means from   Jan to Dec and
Quaterly data is as below
Qtr1 - Dec       JAN to Dec
Qtr2 (in FEB) - Mar to Dec
Qtr3 (in May) - Jun to Dec
Qtr4 (in Aug) - Sep to Dec
so please let me know to how to handle or extract these data into BW.
Thanks,
Shailaja

Hi Venkat,
Yes, both the key figures are ther in the same planning area.
But my question here is how to get that data into BW? meaning...
If APO/DP does the planning in the month of Sep 2010 for Jan to dec 2011 and the
values are like
Sep-10   jan      Feb mar   april may june july aug sep oct   nov dec
               15     14     13      11    10     11     12     16    14         15   22     20
Dec-10   12     14   16        18    29     20    18     15   14    12   17        20
Mar-11          10 12   13       14     15   16    17 18         20
Jul-11                                  20       40     30      40       50
meaning, If the planning is done in the month of Sep 2010 for the yr 2011 as explained above that values should be extracted into BW and the next planning will be done in the month of Dec 2010 again for entire yr of 2011 i.e. Jan 2011 to Dec2011.
But the values should be captured as they are.. that means if i use DSO the values from request1 to request2 will be over written n if i use the cube they will be added up..
Request1 will hold data of Sep2010: planning data
Request2 wil hold Dec 2010 data ....n req3 will hold data of Mar 11...
but users want to see the values or planning figures as they are.
Hope i made my requimrent more detailled.
Please let me know the solution to get the data as it is in BW.
Thanks,
Shailaja

Difference - Demand Planning

Hello All,
In Demand Planning I wanted to know the difference between Top Down Demand Planning and Bottom Up
demand planning.
Can anybody please explain ?
Thank you for the help.
Regards
Steve

Hi Amol and All,
That article definately helps and gives a perspective of the types of planning that we can use.
But, with respect of SAP, what are the configurations that we have to change if the system is designed
intially for Top Down Demand Planning ?
Thank you for all the help and efforts for the article.

Restricting Prod Orders for Sub assemblies.

H Gurus,
My client has a requirement of not to have any production orders for sub assemblies as there are lot of production orders to be taken care for production.
They need only one production order so that they will track w. r. t this production order .
Please help me which are the possible ways to meet this requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen.

Hello,
if you set this indicator in MRP view, then planning itself will not happen for components. but doing this, how production of sub assembly will be taken care.
I guess question was about tracking of all production orders of assembly and sub assembly. Production orders needs to be there for both to meet the requirement in production.
Here, Collective Orders can be used.
You need to set "special procurement key" 52 for all the sub assemblies. now when planning will be done. it will be done at header as well as sub assembly level.
after conversion to production order, you can see header material order as collective order and sub assembly orders below it.
you can now track w.r.t Header material only, no need to track with sub assembly.
Please refer to SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/a5/63198843a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
for collective orders
hope this resolve this query

Min Max Planning not reading Flow Schedules as Demand

We use min max planning to order all recurring purchases and flow schedules for production planning.
Min max planning report does NOT see flow schedules as a source of demand. Is this correct or are we missing a setup somewhere?
If min max planning cannot read flow schedules, is there a standard report to identify component shortages where items are between min max level but not enough on hand to fulfill the open flow schedule?

Check the user and employee tht you have used to launch the conc prog...

Min Max Planning to replenish from a single sub inventory

I am new to this site but could certainly use some help in a problem I am having. I am on a team in the process of implement discrete manufacturing. Here is the problem I am having. I am trying to set up min/max replenishment to a specific sub inventory. We currently have a centralized fabricated (make parts) store room. From that store room we move parts to variuos supermarkets with in the factory. From the supermarkets parts are component picked or kan ban replenished. The problem that I am having is that I want the replenishment trigger back to the sheet metal fabrication area to come from the "Centralized Make" parts storeroom. It is currently adding up all the locations or sub inventories the part number resides in to include RIP. I am being told that there is no way to limit the trigger to a single sub inventory.

Sandeep, Thanks I was able to generate and run the report and it did look only that the specified sub inventory and suggested the reorder qty properly. After running the report under the item number it says "unable to generate requisition" How does the fabrication area get a signal to begin the fabrication process, create a discrete job or create a planne order or something? So far your recommendations have been right on target! Again thankyou.

Min-Max Planning concept

Hi Neils,
Can you please throw a light on --> Min-Max Planning Concept and what is the formula for Min-Max
regds
MRR

Hi MRR,
Min-max planning is used to maintain inventory levels for all of your items or selected items. With min-max planning, you specify minimum and maximum inventory levels for your items. When the inventory level for an item (on-hand quantities plus quantities on order) drops below the minimum, Oracle Inventory suggests a new purchase requisition, internal requisition, move order, or job to bring the balance back up to the maximum.
See the Inventory Users Guide > Planning and Replenishment > Min-Max Planning for more detailed description of the principles behind. In addition to Min-Max you may want to consider Reorder Point Planning where you bring demand figures into the calculations.
If you would like to have sales orders or production demands on end-item or sub-assembly levels influence the planning of components then a type of MRP is needed to break down a product structure to lower level material requirements. For even more advanced planning where capacities, constraints and may be even different optimizations objectives are to be considered you have to look at the Advanced Plannning Suite of applications.
Hope this helps ypu in the right direction.

Can we use MRP to plan for FERT in-house produced with PIR's & has Min/Max

Hi SAP Guru's
I have a very critical issue from the client who wants to use MIN/ MAX stock values for planning its finished products (in-house produced)
here is the details of the scenario
Client recieves 2 Excel files every week from customer
1st file contains the Weekly Demand Forecast of FERT material for next 1 year and they upload it in MD61 as PIR's BUT this value is also Inclusive of Safety stock value (ex: if weekly demand entered in MD61 as PIR is 50 and if safety stock value is 10, then actual demand is only 40)
2nd file send contains only safety stock values (for ex in this case let it = 10) to be maintained for the FERT materials
the client wants MRP to plan and trigger based on this PIR's in MD61 and Safety stock level fand plan for FERT, HALB and also ROH materials as defined in the BOM also taking into consideration the current WIP levels (Work in progress for any existing production orders currently being processed) based on the production Lead times values maintained
so what the client wants is they want to maintain 2 stock values, that is one least stock value and other higher value which if stock falls below this point, will trigger production based on the lead time and considering any WIP levels also
(for ex in this case if PIR = 50 and safety stock is 10, MRP run result client wants is = 30 and NOT =40)
so here are my questions
1. is this scenario feasible? use safety stock and min/max level for in-house produced finished which has demand PIRs in MD61 at the same time?
2. Also due to SOX complaince regulations, the client does not want to change the forecast values in MD61, so is it possible to make some settings so that forecast is corrected by WIThOUT including the safety stock value in it? ( for ex: in this case as = 40 only and NOt as 50)
3. which all settings should i maintain like for MRP type or lot size or stock qty levels or anyother customizations if any required so that when we run MRP, can it ignore the safety stock value and generate the client desired output?
thank u verymuch for your time & expert advice in advance

Hi Chakri,
This is not possible as per standard functionality. MRP always creates proposals for the shortage quantity of the safety stock. We have used the user exit in the plant level MRP run to exclude both plant and safety stock in the net requirements calculation.
You have to write logic to convert the safety stock into plant stock in the user exit so there will be no additional procurement proposals...you can create custom indicatar in materail master or linked any existing indicator like MRP group to the user exits so the MRP will checks this and will not create proposals for the selected parts.
If you have any questions then please inform.

Min-Max Planning simple questions

Hi
I'm trying to use Min-Max Planning. Inventory User's Guide says that Min-Max Plannig uses a demand to evaluate order quantity, but don't tell if such demand by month, year or whatever. Looking the figures seems to be annual demand (but doesn't match my annual sales). What kind of demand is used?
If demand is calculated on a yearly basis, resulting order qty should be to satisfy sales of a whole year (I guess).
Is there a way to change that? Does really matter?
Please some words of advise
Oscar

Looking the figures seems to be annual demand (but doesn't match my annual sales). What kind of demand is used?Hi Oscar,
depending upon at which level (organization or subinventory) you are running Min-Max planning and the options selected for net demand will determine what will be included under open demand. It is the total open demand on or before the demand cutoff date, based on net demand selection for reserved & unreserved orders and WIP. It is NOT by month, year or any period.
Min-Max at Organization level:
If you choose Yes for Net Unreserved Orders, Net Reserved Orders and Net WIP Demand then Open Demand is the sum of unreserved sales orders, inventory reservations (including reserved sales orders), account issue move orders, and WIP component demand scheduled for issue on or before the demand cutoff date.
Min-Max at Subinventory level:
If you choose Yes for Net Unreserved Orders and Net Reserved Orders (no WIP demand option here) then Open Demand is the sum of inventory reservations (including reserved sales orders), account issue move orders, and subinventory transfer move orders scheduled for issue from this subinventory on or before the demand cutoff
date. At subinventory level inventory reservations referencing a different subinventory, or with no subinventory specified, are not included.
e.g. if the demand cutoff date is 30-Jun-2009 and net options have been selected as Yes then then it will look for demand upto 30-Jun-2009 (Note: some apps reports have time part issue while comparing dates, so in those cases 30-Jun-2009 is taken as 30-Jun-2009 00:00:00 i.e 29-Jun-2009 midnight!).
Also if you specify a past date for demand cutoff date it will consider open demands available, if any, upto that past date (but you plan for the future, not past).

Supply quantity isn't being considered in min-max planning report Oracle

Oracle 12 Issue:
system isn't considering the open PR/PO while suggesting re-order quantity in new PR of same item code. I am giving all parameters with "Yes" except include non-netable parameter with "NO". I take system current date as default date for "Demand & Supply cutoff date".
Please help me to resove/identify this issue.

Hi,
Issue #1:
Need by Date on the purchase order/Requisition line is after the supply cut-off date entered by the user (or defaulted) when launching the Min-max planning report.
Fix: Please re-launch the Min-max planning report with higher supply cut-off date.
Issue #2:
Destination type stamped on the purchase order line / distribution is Expense.
Since it will not affect the on hand quantity for the item, the Min-max planning report is ignoring this purchase order.
Fix:Please retry with a new purchase order with destination type set as Inventory.
Thanks

Need some help with the DOF Min Max Planning Logic

Hello All,
Morning...could someone please help us with this issue which we are facing in our production system.
We are running the Dof Min Max Planning Report at the Subinventory level and for a given item.
This item setup in this sub inventory has the Min qty : 2 , Max qty :2.
--We don't see any open orders/ requisitions in the system for this item.
--We also don't see any expected receipts for this item coming to this org/subinventory.. All the shipment lines are in Fully Received status.
--We dont see any stuck supply records in mtl_supply table as well..and also checked for the Inv Transactions interface tables as well ( MTI , mtl_material_transactions_temp)..we dont find any stuck transactions for this item, subinventory & org.
Now when we are running the Dof Min Max report is is showing the Supply Quantity as 2 and Available Quantity as 2.
Hence the Reorder quantity is coming as Zero..basically it is not re stocking the item again for this subinventory level.
Could someone please assist as to what could be reason why this Supply Quantity is showing some value when we dont see any stuck supply / expected open receipts..
What else we need to check here to get this issue resolved and to know the source of the Supply Quantity.
thanks

In the report run, what parameters are considered as Supply?, Also did you check the supply data considering your cutoff dates offset?, the item what you are talking about is a buy item? check if there were requisitions already created.

Min Max Vs Reorder Planning

Hi All,
What is the difference between both, Min Max & ReOrder Planning?
Thanks

Hi,
Min-Max planning will be either maintained at Subinventory level or Organization level.
If the onhand Qty falls below either minimum or Maximum level then system will generate either Purchase Requisitions or Work Orders in WIP module to replinish the inventory.
On running the Min-Max report system will consider the existing Onhand,PO qty or the Sales Order demand as per the input parametres.
Reorder Point is an alternate planning method for Min-Max planning method.
This will replinish once the Item Onhand falls below {Safety Stock+(LeadtimeX Demand)}.This will also produce Purhcase Requisitions for replinishments.
Thanks
-Arif.
