MRP and Factory calender question

Hi all,
When MRP runs to replenish stock from planned orders using production planning and/or Purchasing (Planned orders to Requisitions or production orders), is it replenishing stock based on lead times in a 20 day per month (excluding SAT and SUN and company holiday) format or full calendars days? This would also be an input to contracts/agreements etc.
Please advise.

Hi ,
While planning MRP takes inhouse production time for inhouse materials and is calculated in work days which referes to actual working days from factory calendor.
normally for purcahsed parts, planned delivery time ( PDT) is maintained in material master and this is actual calendor days. This does not consider the actual holidays from factory calendor.

Difference between Holiday Calender and Factory Calender

What is the difference between Holiday Calender and Factory Calender.

Holiday Calendars is used in Time and Payroll. It is Holiday Calender which is used in defining Work Schedules Rules for different regions.
In simple, we can say... it is defined for Employees.
Factory Calendar in turn in used in Shift Planning concept, T&E Mng, in defining/planning for Units.
In simple, we can say... it is defined at Unit(Area) Level.
Eg: Employee can be on holiday based on holiday calendar assigned to his area. But Factory may be running/open on the same day.

Changes in holiday and factory calender ?

Hi Gurus,
i have to delete a holiday from my holiday calendar ? i have some doubts about transporting the changes to quality and prd can anybody explain how we have to trans Port CALENDER

Hi Mahesh Kumar,
The Best Practice in mantaining Factory Calendar is to Transport the calendar from development to quality and to Production. However, it comes with it's own share of risks as it is a table transport.
To avoid those risks, it is suggested to block SCAL via SM01 for users and give access when the changes need to be moved. There is a process which needs to be set up which creates the necessary checks and balances involving the change.
Now, when you transport, you need to make sure that the changes you are moving are only the changes you did currently. Changes which have been done by someone else in the FC would remain with the object as FC object does not ask for transport when you are saving the changes.
So, in order to accomplish the above objective, you need to compare the Factory calendar , Holiday calendar tables. Compare the tables of Development & Production, download the tables to excel. Use some excel formulaes to match the entries of table in one worksheet with the entries in other worksheet. The conclusion of the comparison would be that only changes which you are doing currently are moving with the transport and no other changes are moving.
There are 3 important tables out of 13-14 which need to be compared: TFACS, TFACD & THOCI.

Holiday Calender and factory calender

Hello Experts,
I have one scenario in my current implementation for one of the textile industry,
Here management and staff have total 5 public holidays in a year
But for workers its 2 public holidays in a year (in deewali -- for that 2 days only plant will be shut down).
How to do that in SAP?
Do I have to define 2 different holiday calendars?
Or something else?
Please let me know
Thanks and Regards
Jaydeep Jadhav

Dear Jadhav,
You should create
one Holiday Calendar for Corporate
one Holiday Calendar for Plant
I guess, once the plant is shutdown, even the managers will also get the holiday who are working in plant!!
ESG Grouping for MGRS, STAFF and Workers can be only One.
Holiday Calendar for Plant is different
thus, Managers in Plant will also get the holiday.
FACTORY CALENDAR is nothing to do with Employee Holidays... its only HOLIDAY CALENDAR which defined holidays to employees.

Dear
Based on your business requirement , you should have the following set up :
1.One Factory Calender with Work Days Monday-to-Friday Let say FC1 .This will be used on all the organisational level starting from Materials Planning to Sales .But will not be assinge to Capacity Requirement Planning Purpose or Any Production Activity in Work Centre .
2.You should have one more Factory Calander with work Days Monday to Monday ( 7 days week ) with some special rule like Plan Shutdown Days , Breakdown Maintainnece etc and this should be assinged to all the work centres -CR02-Capacity Tab -Capacity Header -Factory Calader ID -Let say it is FC2.
You need to ceate Calander in OP03/SCAL .It does nto have any transport and it will be a Cleinet level changes which requires proper approval .Please rememeber , you need to assing only FC1 to Plant assingement in OP03 where as FC2 will be asisnged only in Work Centre level .
Steps : Goto -OP03
1.Identify all those Public Holidays frist with Fixed or moveable as per business requirement
2.Goto Holiday Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Add all those holidays as per Public holidays as applicable in your business with proper valididty and finally SAVE
3.Goto Factory Calander -Hit the pencil -Hit Create option -Enter ID , Description , Valid To/From Year ( shd be 20 yrs differnce )
Asisng Hioliday Calander . In case of FC2-Work centre Calander , here you can hit the Special Rules .Include Special Activity like Plan Shut down of factory with Validity etc and SAVE .
4.Come back to OP03 main screen -Assing the factory Calender in plant .
5.Goto -CR02-Capacity -Capacity Header -Available Capacity Header -Factory Calander-Assing FC2
I do not think you should have planning calander seperately if you do not have any specific reason .
Hope it helps

Schedule a process chain using factory calender

Hi All,
My requirement: the user wishes to see the report every month, 1 working day prior to the month end.
I am trying to do this usnig processing chain and factory calender to restrict it.
1. How can a factory calender be used ?
3. how do i give the offset of 1 working day prior to month end?
2. If you have any such experience please share.
Please help.
Rohit Kumar.

Hi,
In the start process open the start time parameters screen. Then click on the button '>>' next to 'at operation mode' button. In the following screen, give the factory calender. In the workday column give 2. Choose radio button 'end of month'. In the period field give the frequency of the loads, i guess it should be 1 for you as you want to load monthly. So the job runs on the day before the last working day.
regards,
Murali.

Infocube or ODS and abt Calender days

Hi Experts,
1. I have a question regarding summarising data.. In reality we summarise data by week or month or by any chracteristic values.. Can anyone tell me which Object ODS or Infocube is best for summarising data.?
2. My client wishes to move to normal calender from Fiscal/Factory Calender. Has anyone done that before.?. what are the impacts we may face and hwo can we overcome this???? Where can i start so that i have least impacts.??
Thanks in Advance
DV

HI DVMC,
To summarize records based on Time or Normal Characteristics value it will be best to use cubes rather than ODS. When user prefer detail level of data they will be going for ODS if they want summarized historical data than they will be going for reports build on cube I mean to say that Cube will contain summarized data while ODS contain Detail data.
Most of the companies will use Factory calendar rather than normal calendar because the fiscal period of each company differs. When Normal calendar changes to Factory calendar than fiscal period start, fiscal variant will be changing for example: In my company fiscal period starts in May and end in April so Fiscal variant is 05(May) and Fiscal period 001/2005 is June 2005 etc...Let me know if u have any questions.
Please assign points if its helpful.

Factory Calender assigned to Plant & resource/Work center

Hello,
If we have assigned the Factory Calender "XX" which has 5 working day(Monday to Friday) with no Special rules & no Holiday Calender to Plant & "YY" Factory Calender to Work center which has 365 days working with no no Special rules & no Holiday Calender.Now, when MRP creates Planned Orders for FERT material It did not create it on Weekends(i.e. on Saturday & Sunday) though the factory calender assigned is "YY" (which has 365 days working )in work center.Why?
Actually it should have consider the Work center assigned Calender for Capacity planning & Schedulling purpose.
If I assign the Factory Calender "YY" to plant then it will create the procurement proposal on weekends which is not acceptable to external procurement MRP Controller as plant office works only 5 days.
Please guide.

Dear
Goto CR02/03 , select the Capacity tabe "hat" and u will fined there is tabe "Available Capacity " .U have to maintain the Active version ok.
Basically , the active version is used for scheduling and capacity planning. If you have not entered an active version, the standard available capacity is used, even if an available capacity version has been entered.
At the same u have to check out the below requirement :
you must maintain the following data in the capacity header:
1.The grouping, that defines which shift sequences and shift definitions can be used to maintain the available capacity
2.The number of the active version of available capacity
3.The base unit of measure of the available capacity
3.The factory calendar, that is the basis of the available capacity-Workcentre
If you do not enter a factory calendar , the system uses the default calendar for the plant.
I hope in your case , u have the shift sequence of 5 work days for the calander you have assinged in work centre .
Please check all those n come back .
Reward points if usefull.
