MRP, Backorder, Cross / Inter Company, Schedule agreements

I am implementing Automotive Best Practices - OEM. ECC 6 Germany version.
My confusion comes when I have a look at some of the scenarios as
they all ask for PP and we are not implementing it.
One of these scenarios is A62 Sales Order with cross company
process. According to this process we have a delivery / sales
plant and a production plant. The creation of the customer SO
triggers the entire schedulling agreement process between the 2
plants. The sale splant runs MRP creating the demand. A schedule
agreement is creating the demand on the produciton plant.
The produciton plant then does whatever needs to do - mrp run,
backflush, etc - and "despatches" the stock to the delivery
plant. The delivery plant receives the stock and an intercompany
billing process occurrs.
After this ONLY will the stocks be available to be picked for the
customer.
Now my issue is if there is no production plant how will we amend
this scenario?
Will we still have a fictitious production plant with manual GR
or upload of stocks??

Hi Kookie,
when sales order comes to Plant A , create SO which will create scheduling agreements between two plants.
Other plant B will get PR if not PP module and Receive the Goods and transfer to Plant A
Thanks

MRP Reschedules PO ahead of Scheduling Agreement

Hi,
We have a situation where one company code (Company A) buys product from a second (Company B) via an inter-company Scheduling Agreement. The schedule lines are generated automatically from MRP.
Company A now has a need to purchase a one-off quantity of the same product from an external company and so have subsequently raised a Purchase Order with delivery dates in the future (after the next requirement from company B is due).
The result of the MRP run has been to prompt rescheduling of the Purchase Order in to meet immediate requirements and only generate schedule lines from Company B after the full Purchase Order quantity has been used. This is not as required, as the dates on the PO are those that are achievable by the external supplier.
I can't find any settings that relate to a prioritising of MRP elements which would imply that a PO has precedence over a Schedule Line, and I would rather not fix the schedule lines of the Scheduling Agreement.
Has anyone seen this before, or knows what I'm missing.
Thanks

Hi suresh
The requirement goes this way.the sales person creates a scheduling agreement instead of a sale order.The next process is running MRP for the scheduling agreement .
Just he wants to know through a report what are the sceduling agreements peding for MRP run.

Source list mandatory only for scheduling Agreement

Hi Gurus,
My client wants to make source list mandatory only for scheduling agreement. While creating scheduling agreement for a particular type and saving it should be mandatory. But for Purchase orders and contracts this is not required. If i do it through OME5 then it becomes mandatory for PO and SA both. Also if i set in material master it becomes mandatory for both.
Please let me know if there is way to do it.
Thanks and Regards,
Yuvaraj

It doesn't make too much sense, but... do you want to be sure (garantee) that the source list has been created and it is relevant to MRP when you have a schedule agreement? perhaps you can use a user exit when you save the schedule agreement to create the source list.
There is no standard functinality that's allow you to requirer the source list according the po type.
regards.

Quota arrangement with schedule agreements

Dear guru's,
I maintained source list with 3 Schedule agreements with 3 different vendors, MRP indicator as 2, in Material master Quota as 4, and maintained Quota.
now after planning run i am getting two PR's for two vendors and for third vendor schedule lines are generated against that schedule agreement.
can u any one help me in this
vinay

Hi,
In the source list have you put a 2 as MRP indicator for all the scheduling agreements in the source list.
Also please make sure that the fixing indicator is not set in the source list.
Can you also check the if the validity period for all scheduling agreements and source list entries are correct.

PR and scheduling Agreement related

Hi FreindsI
have a scenario wherein the client wants a scheduling agreement created. There is no MRP scenario here.
A scheduling agreement is created and sent to vendor
Whenever a requirement is there a PR is generated.
Based on this PR Schedule lines have to be created in the Scheduling Agreement.
How to go about it?
Regards

hi,
Make Schedule agreement from ME31L
Then You can have a source list for the schedule agreement..so that it will be automatically be determined while PR or PO...
Then Maintain the Delivery schedule on the given dates in the schedule agreement from ME38...
this can be generated from PR also....
To create PR from schedule agreement...enter the material...the system will automatically will show the source list no. in the item details..if the source is not fix,..then can check the n no. of sources...but for this use source determination indicator in PR , MMR ...
Hope its clear...

Backorder processing in Scheduling agreement

Hi,
When user creating scheduling agreement with delivery dates,qtty will not be confirmed.
as there is no stock. once company get the requirement, company starts production,after production-same will be informed to the stores department. Then they post the stock for that material. This will be informed to the user by mail.
But in scheduling agreement, qtty will not be confirmed , until user did the changes in "Re-scheduling/Backorder processing" - it consumes time for the user.
as daily there will be "N" no.of agreements will be there. User cant do it manually for each and every agreement.
Is there any prog, whenever stores post the stock for particular material, automatically system should confirm the stock for those agreements?
R
Is there any tcode, in which we can run for the specific agreements based on the delivery date, so that stock will be confirmed?

Options are
- run V_RA
- go to MB1B with movement type 412E and reserve the stock. This also has to do manually scheduling agreement wise. If you feel that manual entry is not possible, may be you can develop a zee tcode through which you can copy the logic of MB1B and post the stocks in bulk

MRP Strategies that work well with schedule agreements

Hello Experts, We are having a disucsion on using schedule agreements with our consignment process. What MRP Types and lot size keys work with scheduling agreements? One of our managers insists on using reorder point, and everything I have read seems to lead towards deterministic prodeure PD, and an exact lot size. I was hoping you could provide a proven strategy or tips.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

Hello, Thank you both for your quick replies. Our company strategy is a reorder point strategy, that we force our vendors to read off of a web page, but the settings in the system are PD, and usually a 4 week lot size. The MRP data is dumped to the same web page as the reorder point information. It is expected that our vendor is managing the inventory. We also use a PO for the year parked at the end of the year for the entire supply. This method does not allows us to measure the vendor performance.
We are currently have new proposal to use contracts and Kanbans with MRP. Where MRP is used for forecast information and Kanban controls the replenishment by sending a replenishment order to the vendor. This will give us a consumption based process, that can be measured.
The other proposal is to use a schedule agreement with the same reorder point strategy. This is why I asked my question. I don't think that the reorder point strategy works with this type of order. From my understanding the scheduling agreement controls the delivery of the incoming material based on forecast and real demand. Is my understanding correct?
The ulitimate goal is to have a system that provides our material on-time when it is needed. Easy for our vendors, and so we can measure the vendor against. On time delivey and stock outs.

Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
Thank you

MRP To Generate SCHEDULE LINES for Scheduling Agreement

Hi
I have followed the below steps but still the Schedule lines is not generated for scheduling agreement.
1Maintain MRP views 1,2,3,4 for the material in material mste.(MM01)
2. Maintain Purchase Info Record for the vendor plant & material combination.(ME11)
3. Create Scheduling agreement using ME31L
4. Maintain source list for the material & the scheduling agreement # and Line item set the MRP relevant indicator 2 (Necessary ?) ME01
During Run MRP for the material.the below details entered///
Processing key NETCH Net Change in Total Horizon
Create purchase req. 1 Purchase requisitions in opening period
Schedule lines 3 Schedule lines
Create MRP list 1 MRP list
Planning mode 1 Determination of Basic Dates for Planned
Run MDBT or MD02 but still doesn't create the schedule lines......Anything else missing.
MRP1:
MRP Procedure: PD
MRP Group: 0000 (External Procurement only)
Lot Size: EX (Lot For Lot)
MRP2:
Procurement Type: F
Sched Margin Key: 000
MRP3:
Avilablity chec: 02 (Individual requirement)
MRP: 4
Nil

Raj,
Source List a Mandatory for Scheduling Agreement, if you want to create automatic Scheduling line.
Plz use (2) in MRP RELEVENT tab in ME01 (Source List).
rest of the thing is ok, make sure a material master(MRP 2 VIEW) in that view you have to give a planed delivery days. it is must.
HOPE IT WILL WORK

*MRP unable to create Delivery Schedule Lines in MM Scheduling Agreement*

Hi Experts,
I need your help...
The issue is, in-spit of maintaining Source List with an u201CScheduling Agreement with item No.u201D & u201CSource List Usage in MRPu201D as 2 (Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically), MRP run does not generate Schedule Lines, instead PRs are created.
Please help me to understand such behavior and fix the issue as the requirement is to generate Schedule Lines only.
Thanks,
Pratap

Hello
Please check
1) Source List maintained properly in terms of Material # ; plant # ; proper POrg ; Schd Agr # and line item# ; proper validity date & MRP relevant indicator
2) Please also check Quata arrangement if you are using. whether % is maintained correctly against the vendor
3) MD03 , Delivery schedules- should be 3
4) check your planning horizon whether it is NETCH or not
5) check material master -MRP2 view, Procurement type is F- external procurement, schedule margin key if you are using
if everything above is set, then I feel it should work
Also please verify-
lot size, safety stock and the corresponding prod volume for MRP input v/s the stock available in MMBE
example.
MD04, we can see the open del lines.
if SS = 50 , prod volume is 150
1) if MMBE shows 200 then it wont generate any schedule.
2) if MMBE is 180 and your lotsize is 40, then after MD03, you will have a schedule line of 40 (provided if everything is set properly)
Please ensure there are NO open delivery lines . if you find such in MD04, then please close open delivery lines
in calculation of MRP, system considers such open delivery lines are going to receive and no additional schedule line generated even after MRP run
thanks

Questions on Inter-company and Cross-company sales ordering process..

Hi,
I understood the delivery plant and the sales org. is not in the same company code might be the process, but i want to know some details especially in SAP system how it is realized and processed, hope could kindly help me on below questions!! thanks!!
1)what is the difference between inter-company sales and Cross-company sales??
2)What is the general document flow and config. when in below 2 cases:
Suppose the 2 company code under same sap client system, then what kinds of company code,plant config within the system for inter-compan and cross-company, and finally what kind of document flow will it be in the system.
Suppose the 2 company code is under diff sap system, then what kind of doc flow in each sap system for inter-company and cross-company sales process???
Thank you very much!!!!

Hi,
Basically there are totally Three types of scenarios
1. Intra Compnay Stock Transport Order
In this type of scenario, the stock is transfered between Two Plants which are under the same Compnay Code. The document type used here is UB. Here in this scenario the owner ship on the stock is not changed thats way there will not be any Invoice. The process as follows
a. Create Purchase Order with document type UB - ME21N
b. Create Replenishment Delivery with Document type NL - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI - VL02N
Now stock will be shown in Transit, you can check this using T.Code MB5T.
d. Do MIGO to receive the stock into ordering plant.
2. Inter Compnay Stock Transport Order
This is called as Cross Compnay STO. Here the stock is sent from one plant to another plant which are in two different Compnay codes. That means the Ownership on the stock is changed in this scenario, that way there will be Intercompnay Invoice IV is reaised. Here the stock is just moved to one plant to another plant but not to any customer.
The Process is as follows
a. Create a PO using type NB - ME21N
b. Create a Cross Compnay Replenishment delivery using type NLCC - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI in VL02N
d. Inter Compnay Invoice IV is raised by Supplying Compnay code to the Ordering Compnay Code - VF01
for this a customer created in Supplying Compnay who represents the Ordering Compnay and the invoice is raised against to that customer.
e. MIGO to receive the stock in Ordering Plant
f. MIRO to do invoice verification and do Vendor account update. This also can be done by EDI triggering, to update the Vendor Account. That means with this step, ordering compnay will update into its vendor account that he has to give certain amount to the compnay who supplied the stock.
3. Inter Compnay Customer Sales
This is similer to the 2 process, but here instead of sending to Plant we will send the stock directly to Customer of other compnay code.
The process is as follows
a. Customer raises normal sales order in another compnay code of type OR - VA01
b. But if the plant of that compnay does not have stock, then in the order the plant is changed to other compnay code plant.
c. Delivery is created in supplying Compnay against this Order - VL01
d. Picking and PGI is done - VL02N
e. But the stock is sent direclty to customer from supplying plant.
f. Ordering compnay will raise normal invoice F2 to the customer
g. Supplying Compnay will raise Intercompnay invoice IV to the Ordering Compnay.
But for all these process there are some configurations can be done, like
the material should be extended to both the plants
a customer is created in supplying plant who represents the ordering plant so that IV can be generated to that customer.
Supplying Plants should be linked to ordering Sales Org and Distribution channel. etc.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

Scheduling agreement in MRP

I have created a scheduling agreement for a material for 50000. There are dependent requirements on this material which creates scheduling lines. When the cumulative quantity of scheduling lines is greater than 50000 I want MRP to create purchase requisitions instead of scheduling lines based on dependent requirements. Is this possible thru configuration. Currently it creates scheduling lines even after the cumulative quantity is greater than the scheduling agreement quantity of 50000.
thanks a lot

Hi,
I think that you can achieve this by using Quota Arrangement definition.

Scheduling Agreement -Schedule line should not pass the requirement to MRP

Hi Friends!
As we all know the scheduling agreements is outline agreement with future schedule lines, with this system will pass the requirements to MRP for the schedule line which is even after 5 years, so my requirement is if the schedule line date is above 15 days from the current date then requirement should not pass to MRP.
solution which we gave is, SA initially will determine the schedule line category as CN (which will not transfer the requirement) and a batch job program will run daily and it will check for each schedule line if any of the schedule is with in the 15 days from the current date then it will change the schedule line category from CN to CP.
Now the problem is , by using Batch Job which program I have to call to change the schedule line category?????
1. we tried BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE but when we are changing the CN to CP it is not performing ATP where as if we do manually it is performing.
2. we tried BDC but here also we facing some strange problem i.e. while recording the ATP screen is not populating where it is coming while doing manual.
Can someone let me know which one program we should call in Batch job to do this change.
Regards
Nath

Hi nath,
i also failed in changing shedule line category in userexit and in BAPI.
in one case, i succeded in doing it with a bdc after MV45AFZZ / userexit_save just bevore the datas are reset but after the commit-work is processed.
the other possibility is, to change the accepted amount in userexit RV03VFZZ / USEREXIT_AVAILABILITY_OUT.
3. possibility is, to block the order with a delivery - block , same as the credit-control-block. This block can be set in MV45AFZZ or perhaps in BAPI too.

Schedule lines on scheduling agreement by MRP

Hello,
we use MRP to generate delivery schedules on a purchasing scheduling agreement. The vendor of the material has a limited capacity but when the need of our customer is very big MRP generates schedule lines on one date (too many for the vendor too handle).
Is it possible to limit the amount of a schedule line per period (for example we allow to generate 100 tons per week, if the need is 500 tons it should be splitted into 5 schedule lines over 5 weeks).
Thank you for your help!!!!

Hello,
the weekly lot size generates lots per week but this answers only a part of my problem.
example: vendor can produce 50 tons per week
need is 200 tons
with a weekly lot size and a maximum lot size of 50 the system proposes 4 schedule lines of 50 tons on the same week and this is not what I want. I want 1 schedule line of 50 ton on the week and the rest on the weeks in the future.
