Min-Max to create WIP

Hi All,
I need help on the following -
I am running Min-Max planning to create WIP jobs. I want to -
1: Default WIP Start Date to Current Date. Currently WIP completion date is defaulted to current date. This causes WIP Start Date in Past Due which is unacceptable.
2: The WIP jobs are created with status 'Released'. I want this to be defaulted to 'Unreleased'.
Appreciate help on this.
Regards,
Yash

Hi Sandeep,
What I found out is the profile option 'INV: Minmax Reorder Approval' governs the status.
Now we have given resolution to set this at user level.
1: Purchase Planner will have this set to 'Pre Approved'
2: WIP Planner will have this set to 'Incomplete'
Regards,
Yash

Min-Max is creating multiple requisitions

Min-Max is creating multiple requisitions

Min-max does create one requisition for each item that needs to be procured.
However, you can override this seeded functionality by writing a custom code that updates group_code field in the po_requisitions_interface_all table after the min-max run but before the Requisition Import runs.
Hope this helps,

WMS Min Max replenishment - Auto allocate and create wms task

We using Oracle WMS and want to implement Min Max planning for replenishing from bulk to pick. The Min max report creates the move order but its not allocated and we need to run the Move Order Pick Slip report to create the allocation and wms task. Is there no other way of doing this as we need to pass the move order number when running Move Order Pick Slip report and would like to automate the process.

Hi,
As you have mentioned :
Replenishment qty to 10
and the max bin qty is 40
min bin qty is 10
available stock is 40
System will still not generate any TR since your available qty is not less than min bin qty.
Reduce your available bin qty less than 10 then only it will generate TR.
Or keep min qty as 100 , Max qty as 1000 and replenishment qty as 100 and then check.
Please read the Program documentation for LP21 ( Blue icon on lp21 input screen) for calculation .
Minimum stock = 10
Maximum stock = 100
Replenishment qty = 40
Storage bin stock = 5
Since the storage bin stock has fallen below the minimum stock level defined in the material master, the system calculates a quantity to be supplied to this storage bin. The system attempts to increase the total quantity in the bin (5) by multiplying the replenishment quantity (40) as many times as possible to match the maximum quantity defined for the bin (100) without exceeding it. For the supply quantity, the system calculates 80 pieces (5 + 2 x 40 = 85 < 100).

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.

Formula min max planning

HI,
if we have min = 2, max = 13 and we have fix lot multiplier 5.
on hand 0.
running min max will create order qty = 15. is correct?
how settup about formula min max if we want the result for that case is 10.
so not round up but round down..
it possible??
thanks...
The pooh

Adding to Sandeep's reply there is a profile called INV: Round Reorder Quantity which will help you round UP or DOWN the restock Qty but this still OBEYS the rule that after restock you should have the max Qty in the system as supply.

MRP creating cancel notices for min max purchased items

We use min max planning for many repetitive purchased items. These same items are also set to MPS/DRP Planned as well. This is only so we can use the Planned Order report to identify material shortages to flow schedules.
However, MRP exceptions is requesting we cancel our min max purchased items since there is no demand. Can MRP be modified to NOT include min max planning method in cancel requests?
If not, where can I find a tool to identify material shortages for flow schedules?

Many thanks for this.
I can see entirely why it's designed as such, but I just find it slightly frustrating that there's no way to break the link between the order and the shipment out to the depot. Just to clarify, we're not requiring the orders to change - they will still be made and will come in - but just that the orders themselves don't specifically need to be the stock that is used for the replenishment.
So -
1. Min Max identifies depot needs replenishing.
2. Central distribution does not have (enough) stock to replenish.
3. Order is made to replenish central distributions stock.
4. We ship whatever we've got, when we've got it, to depot to replenish.
It's the bit where Min-Max is trying to replensih a specific depot rather than our central distribution centre that's my problem.
I suspect that, as you say, that specific issue is not directly fixable without getting our IT contractors to do a customisation.
I'm going to look into your Supply Date Offset suggestion now, though I'm not sure how this affects the shipping after the orders are placed. The orders themselves are approved manually after we've checked our stock position (i.e. what's in with the recycling team), but we recycle & refurb probably 60% of our maint stock so there'll always be kit turning up after the order has been made because of the long lead times.
Thanks again.

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.

DateTimeAxis min/max bug? Problems with consistent padding. Date Wrapping.

I have been working on a problem with a BarChart object that I've created using dynamic data.
My primary issue is that I can't seem to get the proper min/max values to set for the chart.
To solve this I manually found the min and max of the data set of Dates and set the min and max of the chart. This allowed me to finally see all the floating custom bars (each bar is rendered with a user set fill), however now if I have a bar that extends over a year change the horizontal axis labels do not wrap the date properly, so instead of 2/10 (feb 2010) being the last date, 12/09 (dec 2009) is the last date.
I've been trying to dynamically adjust the padding based upon a change event, but so far to no avail. Partially I think because I'm not sure which event for the function to fire on.
private function dateAxisGen(r:Array):void {
 var min:Number = r[0].startTime.time;
 var max:Number = r[0].endTime.time;
 const PAD:Number = 2;
 const MILLISEC_IN_MONTH:Number = 2629743830;
 const MILLISEC_IN_WEEK:Number = 604800000;
 const MILLISEC_IN_DAY:Number = 864;
 for (var i:int = 1; i < r.length; i++) {
 var o:OperationXT = OperationXT(r[i]);
 min = Math.min(o.startTime.time, min);
 max = Math.max(o.endTime.time, max);
 // Calculates the maximum range, then adds an appropriate
 // padding to the chart via extra time. TODO
 /* var range:Number = max - min;
 if(range >= MILLISEC_IN_MONTH) {
 dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_WEEK/1000000)/PAD;
 dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_WEEK/1000000)/PAD;
 } else if(range >= MILLISEC_IN_WEEK) {
 dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_DAY)/PAD;
 dAxis.padding = (MILLISEC_IN_DAY)/PAD;
 } else {
 dAxis.padding = PAD;
 dAxis.minimum = new Date(min);
 dAxis.maximum = new Date(max);
this, however, does not adjust the padding properly when an operation is removed from the list. Not to mention I still have the date wrapping error. It gives me the following error:
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Any help with my problem would be greatly appreciated.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Alright, so I've discovered that the ONLY time the date wrapping error occurs is when the axis labels contain only the month and year, any other time it places it properly.
Does anyone know where I can report this bug?

It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

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 Internal Orders 1 Requisition

We are running Min/Max planning to replenish stock in an "Emergency Warehouse" organization. The requisition import kicks off internal orders to a replenishment organization. The planner in the replenishment organization would like one order for each Min/Max run. The requisition group-by default in Purchasing parameters is vendor yet we are still seeing one unique requisition for each item thus creating one unique internal sales order per item. Thoughts?

Stick wrote:
The requisition group-by default in Purchasing parameters is vendor yet we are still seeing one unique requisition for each item thus creating one unique internal sales order per item. Thoughts?In this case the requisitions will not be grouped by Vendor because the supply source is Inventoy which is creating internal requisitions and not purchasing requisition (source is Supplier/ Vendor).
It is important to know how you are importing requisitions and what value is specified for Group By parameter during import. The value you setup in Purchasing Options defaults in the Requisition Import request parameter screen, but this can be changed before submission. So it is possible in your case that requisitions are imported using a different group by than what is specified in Purchasing Options.
From the list of different group by options available (All, Buyer, Category, Item, Supplier) you can probably use 'Location' during requisition import.
Location: Group requisition lines for each delivery location on a separate requisition.
But this will not guarantee 100% success because:
- If you import requisitions with source as INV then those can include requisitions from different INV sources generated from Reorder, Kanban etc having same delivery location. In that case all those requisitions will be grouped under a single header having same location.
- there may be different users running requisition import manually and some may forget to change this group by parameter (defaulted from purchasing options) while importing Min-Max planned requisitions (again they cannot segregate Min-Max, they can just specify INV as source)
A better solution would be to use the oracle provided custom hook (po_reqimp_pkg.post_validate_user_extensions) for requisition import to populate the GROUP_CODE column in PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE table. The logic inside the hook should identify the rows in the interface table generated from each run of Min-Max and populate a unique value for all those rows in the GROUP_CODE column. You need a small piece of code to be added inside the hook.
You can also use REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1 column in the interface table to populate an unique value for all rows you want to group together. But in this case the value you specify will become the requisition number if there are no conflicts with the requisition number rule. Both these column, when populated, have precedence over Group by parameter. 1st priority GROUP_CODE (if populated). If GROUP_CODE is not populated then it checks REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1. If this is also blank then it uses Group By parameter.
Thanks

Min Max planning report - ability to run for specific vendor

Hi,
We have a unique requirement wherein business users would like to run min-max planning report for a specific vendor. Vendor here is item sourcing vendor. We are on R12 12.0.4. This version of applications doesnot support sourcing vendor as the min-max report parameter.
Other than setting up item category for ASL vendor, i can't think of any other easy way to accomplish above requirement. Please suggest workaround for above requirement.
Thank you

If you have to do this, here is a complex workaround.
Create a request set that contains a custom program as first stage and the regular min-max as the second stage.
The custom program accepts vendor name as a parameter and disables min-max planning flag for all items EXCEPT those that are sourced from that vendor.
Then the 2nd stage runs and creates requisition.
You may add a 3rd stage that resets the min-max planning flag.
Make this program incompatible with itself so 2 users won't run it at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Min max with Alpha Beta pruning

Hey I would like to add Min max with Alpha - Beta pruning for my tic tac toe game. If you know some sort of tutorial or anything please let me know. After I complete I'm going to make a complete guide to make a Tic Tac Toe game with a really nice GUI, Music, AI, and Network capabilities. I have the game made so far. I'm going to rewrite it with interfaces and clean up the code a lot then create the guide, but before I do all this I want to create and AI for it.

I suppose that since, other than reading a summary on Wikipedia, I
don't know what a 'minimax algorithm' is and have never tried to
implement one I should not make fun.The idea is quite simple: your best move e.g. in a board game is my worst
result and vice versa. If I can minimize your best move I have maximized
my best move (and that's the move I'll play).
Now suppose my best move somewhere in that game tree turns out
to be worse than another best move of mine somewhere else in that
same tree, there is no need anymore for me to explore the rest of that
subtree. That's the alpha pruning part. The same counts for you and
that's the beta pruning part.
alpha-beta pruning reduces the number of nodes to be examined to
O(sqrt(n)) where n are all the nodes in the fully examined tree. It is
quite a nice algorithm although quite tricky too when you have to build it.
The best reference I can think of now is the old book "Data Structures"
by Horrowitz and Sahni.
kind regards,
Jos

Min-max report

Hi,
I have place a order for a item. Ordered quantity is 10. Order is closed. But when I run min-max report; i found that on-hand quantity is not change and also the demamd quantity 10 is not reflecting. It is showing some different number 8, i.e item demand quantity = 8. Please guide me Why it is so and how to overcome this issue?
Also let me know the base table for this records.
Thanks

Hi Srini,
Just look at "INV: Minmax Reorder Approval" profile option whether it helps you. You might have set this profile option to "Approved". Change the setting to "Incomplete" either at "Site" or "Responsibility (In which you run the min max planning report) " level.
This would help you to create the min max requisitions in "Incomplete" status and then ask the requestors (or your store incharges) to review and approve the Purchase Requisitions!
Regarding "Supply" consideration, I will check and let you know..

Updating Price and Supplier at Requisition interface table after Min/Max

Hello,
We have requirement of updatig requisition data at interface table once Min/Max planning is completed.
We need input here like what would be the behaviour of Standard Requisition import program if we update price and supplier details at interface table after Min.Max planning and before running the Requisiton import.
Quick reponse will help us to move forward on this requirement.
Thanks
Devaraj.K

Hi,
Yes, we are using sourcing rules, so whenever i update the interface table with Price and Supplier detials after Min/Max then the Req.Import should not consider the Sourcing rules, it should create requisiton based on the values (Price and Supplier)provided at interface tanle.
Quick reponse would helpful us to move further on this,
Thanks in advance,
Devaraj.K
