Missing operations and dummy activity in process order

Hi,
we currently maintain several alternate modes in PP/DS PPMs in APO.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in R/3 everything is fine.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in APO, all of the operations are missing and there is a dummy activity present.
We also noted this only occurs when the mode selected in APO by default uses a different resource than the one assigned to the PPM's recipe back in R/3. That is, if the recipe in R/3 uses resource LINE_01 and APO selects resource LINE_02 by default, the issue occurs.If the recipe uses LINE_02 and the APO selects LINE_02 by default, then everything is fine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before ?
Thanks,
Roger

Hi Visu,
For right now, the planned order is created in the product view.
In R/3, the recipe has an operation which uses LINE_01 resource (let's say, production version is L1)
In APO, there are several alternate modes :
LINE_01
LINE_02
LINE_03
By default, when the planned order is created in the product view, the mode with the shortest duration is chosen. In this case, if I create a planned order using the PPM for production version L1, and LINE_03 happens to have the shortest duration, then the order is created for LINE_03. Since LINE_03 is not the resource used in the recipe for production version L1, we run into the issue I mentioned previously.
Coincidently, I also noticed that the R/3 process order type is set to schedule automatically.
When I go into edit mode on the process order operation, make no changes, but then save the order the correct resource and operations reappear in APO.
Regards,
Roger

Deleting operations in master recipe of process orders

Dear Guru's,
I want to delete the operations in master recipe of process orders. The operation numbers are different in different process orders. This activity has to be performed on bit large number of process orders. Can anyone help me in providing the process for doing this activity in mass. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kalyan

Dear Kalyan,
Why do you want to delete the operations(basically phases)at process order level?
If it's really required to execute the Shop floor activties and if the order numbers is huge in number means then in my
understanding only a LSMW/BDC can help you,but technically I'm concerned about selecting the operation/phases for deletion
by passing on the confirmation number or operation number for a particular process order.
If it would be the latest operation/phase for a product means then make the changes in the master recipe so that the same is
getting copied into the process orders in the future.
Check and correct me if I'm wrong.

Std Costing and Actual costing at process Order

Hello Friends,
Followings are the client requirements, Please give me your ideas :-
1 . Costing variant is same for all three - costing run, process order (plan and actual), means there is no prices variance on process order level. ( material at std price, Activity plan price, overhead fix%)
2. Alongwith this above client also need to capture actual result (material at MAP, activity at monthly actual price, overhead fix %)
In this case there is price and usage variance can see.
Now as I think that both scenarios are not possible on process order level. According to me we can do by a customize actual costing cockpit.
Need your openion that do we have any option thru standard funcations of sap to get this requirement. If you need any other explanation , please do let me know.
Thanks
Ravi

Thanks friends. I have done.

Operation does not fetch in process order

hi PP-Pi gru,
when i am creating process order from planed order , operation ( master recipe) does not fetch in process order..only take default operation 10, kindly suggest me how all operation will fetch in process order
another mater is when assign production profile in t- code CORU show the error massage " production scheduling profile for plant ALIV,order type does not exist"...but we have used stander order type PI01..kindly suggest me
Rogers
Aqueel

Hi,
Check In master Recipe ,in the PI Tab,There must be some PI category is assigned and in that PI Category,this PI Charactiristic has been assigned.
First goto that Phase of the Master Recipe and then goto PI tab and then find the PI category.
You need to define production scheduling profile for your plant in OPKP which is assign to order type dependent parameter COR4 In planning screen. Please check. Also check the work scheduling view of material master.

Sequential confirmation and restricting over confirmation - Process orders

Hi,
We have a process orders with phaes 20,40 and 60. Order qty = 100 pc
1. We would like to have sequenstial confirmations from 20->40->60.
2. When we confirmation phase 40 , quantity should not exceed the confirmed quantity of phase 20. ( Example , if 20 is confirmed for , say , 10 pc , then user trying to confirm 11pc in phase 40 , should result in an error )
3.When we enter confirmations in COR6N , we would like to have the previous confirmed quantity to appear as default and if user changes to a higer quantity than the previous confirmation quantity , it should give an error message.
( for example , here when user confirms phase 20 - order qty less previously confirmed qty = 100-10=90 pc should come as default ; for phase 40 , default confirmation qty should appear as 10 pc and user trying to change it to 11pc, shoudl result in an error)
In order confirmation parameters , we have chosen " error when operation sequences are not adhereed to ".
and in over delivery tolerance , we have chosen " wanring message"
How can we achieve this modifitcation?
Thanks and regards,
Manohar

HI,
In the confirmation parameters OPK4(Customizing for Shop Floor Control, choose Operations -Confirmation -Define Confirmation Parameters) you set the Propose indicator in the quantities area, to stipulate that quantities should be proposed when confirmations are entered under "Operation Individual entry using Indv. scren" tab Page. and test
If this is not working out
Check
Control key for operations (in Customizing for Shop Floor Control by choosing Master Data -Routing Data - Define Control Key), you stipulate whether an operation can or must be confirmed (Confirmations key).
Checking the Quantity to be Confirmed (Confirmations key).
If the operation sequence is checked for confirmations, then the following quantity check takes place: If you want to enter a confirmation in which the sum of the yield, rework quantity and scrap is larger than the yield of the predecessor, then the system issues an appropriate message (for example, an error message). The predecessor is determined exactly as described in the graphic.
Irrespective of whether the operation sequence is adhered to, the quantity is checked against the quantity of the predecessor operation (= expected quantity) and a message is issued (the category is set in Customizing). The following cases can occur:
The confirmed quantity is larger than the expected quantity.
You are entering a final confirmation and the confirmed quantity is smaller than the expected quantity.
The message category determines your next entry option:
After acknowledging a warning, you can continue entering.
In the case of an error message, the system terminates the input dialog.

EMail and SQLPLUS activity in process flow

Hi Guys,
I am struggling to get the email activity working. I entered all the details but no email is sent?
Secondly, I had an easy sql plus script that I pasted into the script property box
But the sqlplus just does not execute?
truncate table xxx;
quit
Any ideas?

Make sure there are no spaces after you have replaced DISABLED with NATIVE_JAVA.
Any space after the NATIVE_JAVA will not work.
Can you give details like what are you using Script or Parameter list etc ?
Did you configure the deployed location for the SQLPLus parameter ??
Regarding Your EMAIL -
Is your process flow showing any error regarding email ??
Create a simple process flow with email activity only.
Set FROM_EMAIL , TO_EMAIL , SUBJECT ,MESSAGE_BODY, SMTP_SERVER , PORT
SMTP_SERVER and PORT values are very important.
Check connection to SMTP_SERVER by running the following command on dos prompt
telnet smtp_server_name port
If this works this means your smtp server is working. Now just deploy and run your processs flow.
If it still doen't send you email, check whats in the log.
The log should give you any errors regarding email like ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_TCP", line 17 ,etc (if any).
Thanks,
Sam.

Regarding Total Quantity and Base Quantity in Process Order

Hello Gurus,
Please help me out, I am working for Beverage Industry, we are using Unit Conversion from Litre(L) to Barrel (BBL).
195 Litre = 1 BBL, so If I am producing 9880 Litre, which is giving me 50.667 BBL, how and where I can change the setting, so that I get BBL in Rounding, which should be 51 BBL, it should always follow next number if in decimal.
Thanks

Dear,
What is your base unit?
What is your operation unit? if you want to maintian BBL, then maintain this unit in operation overview of that perticular opration
Now about rounding the quantity - where exactly you want to round it off...during planning or during manual creation?
Enter in material master MRP1 view, rouding value as 1, then whever it is decimal, system make it near to next whole number.
If you want the system to take range of number and to round off...then you need to use rounding profile...in MRP1 view. please come back with your exact requirement os that we will help you out.

Process Order does Confirmations and GR even after the Process order is CNF

Not Sure why the Formatting is lost.
Hi Gurus,
I am a beginner in this area and request your help.
We are implementing a project where the process order Confirmation in SAP ECC 5.0 in SAP PPPI module is done using xMII which call the BAPI_PROCORD_CREATE_TT     RFC.
The customer wants to (certain times) do a final confirmation without actually completing the order e.g if the Order Qty is 100 then, they want to just manufacture 25 and then do a final confirmation, after which SAP GUI screen does not allow any Process order Confirmations against that process order.
We are using the BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CREATE_TTRFC to do multiple PO Confirmations and GR for particular Process order. Below is a scenario
Case 1:
1. Order Qty =100 ( Unlimited Delivery is not checked and tolerance is Zero).
     Which means only 100 is accepted.
2. 100 Quantities are produced and confirmed using the BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CREATE_TT (with Final confirmation value as 1 , which mean auto confirmation)
3. Next when the BAPI confirms & GR's against the same order, the Complete qty is not visible in the COR3 status. And is visible only in the COGI transaction.
That is expected behavior. and i am ok with that.
Case 2: (The one with the problem)
1. Order Qty =100 ( Unlimited Delivery is not checked and tolerance is Zero).
     Which means only the 100 is accepted.
2. 25 Quantities are produced and confirmed using BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CREATE_TT (with Final Confirmation value as X , which mean Final confirmation)
3. The Confirmation and GR go through and the status of the process order now changed is CNF and the Deliverd qty is 25.
At this point , if you logon to SAP GUI and try to make a process order confirmation you get an error messages which says the Process Order is already confirmed and no more confirmations or GR can be done against this Process order.
4. But when you Again Run the BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CREATE_TT, it goes ahead and confirms and makes the GR for that Process order.
The Expected Behavior should have been that this quantity is now in the COGI transaction.
5. The Process order allows any number of Further confirmations till the Ordered Qty and Delivered quantity are same .
so dear gurus I know i have written a very long doubt but would be very happy to get a response from you. I would ideally not like to enhance or change the BAPI and want to understand if I have missed some setting or parameter that I have to pass in the BAPI for the final confirmation so that once the Status of the Process order is CNF , no more Confirmations are allowed even from the BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Suraj

Hi Suraj,
I am not positive, but I suspectt the problem lies in the BAPI. It might be how you have the data set in MII, but it sounded like you are doing it correctly.
However there are a number of things you can do to troubleshoot your situation.
First create a few process orders to test with.
Record the confirmation numbers and counters for each of the following:
1) Do a final confirmation (for quantity of 25 instead of the 100) in CORK (or whichever transaction you are using).
2) Do a final confirmation (for quantitiy of 25 instead of the 100) in SE37 or BAPI in ERP using the BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CREATE_TT.
3) Do a final confirmation (for quantitiy of 25 instead of the 100) from MII using your current transaction.
Review the confirmations in ERP to see if there are any differences.
Review the confirmaitons in MII to see if there are any non visible differences (use a Tracer to retrieve the response segment from an execution of BAPI_PROCORDCONF_GETDETAIL using the recorded confirmation numbers and counters)
Case 1) If there are differences in the results, that should tell you how to modify your transaction to include or change the appropriate values in your inputs.
Case 2) If there are no differences, then it is most likely that there is something not working properly in the BAPI you are using. It may not completely replicate the functionality in CORK (or whichever transaction you are using in ERP). Then open a ticket, because the BAPI is not working as it should.
Good luck,
Mike

Process order operation

Hi
In Process order we are using Operation & Phases in master recipe.
Standard values are giving to phases only.
Individual Confirmation (COR6) are performing using Phases only..
Process instructions are also giving to phases only.
For creating phases operation is required( superior operation)
Just i want to know where these operations will be used in a process order other than this.
I want to know the difference between Primary & Secondary resource and their application in Process order..as these terms are not there in REM/Discrete Mfg..
Regards,
srihari.

Hello Shrihari,
What you have observed is right.
In process order processing we need to use the phases instead of operations in production order eg. when you want to do the partial confirmation, you need to do it for the phases and not the operations.the GI of components( if attached to the Phase )will then take place at that time.
About primary and secondary resources I can give you a practical example.
If you consider a washing machine as a resource then it has two parts the Wash tub and the drying tub. You can consider the washing machine as the primary resource and the washing tubs and drying tubs as secondary resources of the washing machine.
Hope this helps you.
Award points if benefitted.

Component materials incorrectly assigned to superior operation in process order

One of my manufacturing facilities is having a problem with components not printing on process order output.
In all cases, the master recipes themselves look fine when reviewed in C203. The components are properly allocated to phases (not superior operations). But when the process orders are generated, certain components are being assigned in the process orders themselves to the first superior operation, instead of to the phase that is indicated in the master recipe. Here is an example.
Here is the master recipe operation information as seen in C203:
And here is the material assignment list as seen in C203. Note that component material MM6030 is assigned to Phase 0035:
But when the process order is created, that same component material MM6030 is now assigned to superior operation 0001:
Here is some additional information that I was able to eke out of the folks at the manufacturing facility:
The operations in the master recipe did NOT originally contain operation 0001. It was added to the recipe in C202 after the recipe was initially saved.
Component Material MM6030 was not originally part of the BOM. It was added via C202 after the recipe was initially saved. A different material was originally in its place, and was assigned to a different phase. After the MM6030 was added to the BOM, the assignment field was blank, and the user assigned it to phase 0035.
Has anyone ever encountered a similar issue? If so, how was it resolved?

Hi ,
Possibility , in C202 , user may have changes the BOM first and re-assign the phase but in process order level Read PP master did not call
Another possibility manually change the process order component and assign this in Phase in COR2 .Please check whether it has been added manually in order level .

Editing of scheduled dates in Process Order Operations

Hello,
I have a requirement, in which the client would like to change the Scheduled dates in the operation details of a process order.
In the header screen of a process order, if we change the basic start / finish dates (depending on forward or backward scheduling), and reschedule the process order, the process order is rescheduled, with the new dates.
The client's requirement is, they should be able to change the Scheduled dates in the tab "Operation - Dates", of the "Operation overview" screen, in a process order. Normally the field is not editable, and the system calculates the dates, based on the start / finish dates, entered in the process order header.
I would like to know, what is the way out, to meet this requirement.
Thanks.

Hi,
As every body else is explaining it is not possible for standard SAP , as of normal business or any business scenario why would a client want to change the operation dates from Production order ( still not understood.....)
There are two options to do that:
1) Copy the whole transaction ( programmes ) into some Z - transaction and in the programme you can change the object ( CO_VG_OPR_*) from being grayed out.
This will alllow you to change the dates.
2) you can go for enhancement with the following FM
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
I suggest you to clear these things with client.These things require more of ABAP work.
And as said changing the standard behaviour of the system can cause performance issues.
Please close the thread if satisfied.

To make material and quantity grid out in process order

Hi ,
is there any user exit so that material and quanitiy column in process order can be made grid out................as the material and quantity will flow from BOM ........

Hi
Open this link and press Ctrl+F and write component. You will get all possible userexits and Badis relatred to component tab in service or maintenance order. Ask your ABAPER to try those which will be found in this link.

Creating Process Orders Without a Material and Without a Master Recipe

Hi PP experts, anyone knows if it is possible and how to do create Process Orders Without a Material and Without a Master Recipe?
Thanks!!

Dear,
If you want to use a cleanout recipe
T code CORO
create a order w/o material for rework qty
Make the same entries as described under Creating a Process Order With a Material. Use OPJG config to have a default operation defined for the plant and order type combination.
Please find the required details and conditions for creating process orders without master recipe.

Partial GR and GI for Process Orders

Hello,
I have a scenario where user want to do Partial GR and GI posting against process order using PI sheet and he can very well do this.
I want to know which SAP table will store this data. I want to prepare report which will run everyday evening and get GR and GI postings done against process done.

Parshuram,
You can use standard transaction MB51 for this purpose, which would give you all the material movements for an Order/orders.
If you still need to develop a report then you need to use MSEG table to extract the data. Order details can be from AUFK/AFKO/ AFPO , planned GI quantities from RESB table
