MRP consider other plant inventory before procuring from vendor

Hello All,
Is it possible to have standard R/3 (5.0) consider inventory of other plants before creating a schedule line to procure from a vendor?
Example: We have inventory in two plants.
<b>In plant 1000</b>,
requirements of 500 pieces
inventory of 100 pieces
<b>In plant 2000</b>,
requirements of 50
inventory of 200 pieces
In plant 1000, I would like the MRP result to create a stock transfer requirement of 150 from plant 2000 and then a schedule line from a vendor of 250 pieces.
Is this possible? If so any suggestions on how to setup my plants/materials?
Thank you,
Jerry

Hi,
If Plant 1000 regularly receives supplies from Plant 2000 apart from the Vendor, I think it would better if you can maintain Special Procurement Type (Ref SPT 40) for transfer from 2000 to 1000. Then maintain Quota between Plant and Vendor (MEQ1).
However if your scenario is such that stock transfer reqmt should get generated only if when there is surplus inventory at Plant 2000, I am not sure if this can be achieved in Std R/3.

Mrp considering other plant stock also

hi gurujis,
        I want to run mrp for some finished products, while running mrp, it has to consider the stocks in other plants also. is there any settings for that?
     all valuable replies will be rewarded.
thank you

senthil

Hi Senthil,
First of all I admit that my suggestion would not be as 100% per your requirement.
It means, if you want to use the scope of planning, it must be at plant(s) level for all the materials which are relevant. ( only for some finished products it is not possible).
I appreciate Mr. Murugesan's comments..
Now let's come to the point.
If you want to do planning for Multiple Plants then proceed as follows:
1. T. Code : OM0E
2. Planning Scope : Put 4 digit (Alphabets/numeric) & Description
3. Double click on Sequence of plants (Left Side)
4. Put your Plants as per sequence (As per priority wise)
   i.e System will plan for Plants in this sequence only.
5. Use this Scope of planning in MD01 or MDBT as required.
Planning file entries created via stock transfer are automatically taken into account in the planning run.
This ensures that a material is also correctly planned in all plants affected even in the case of
stock transfer processing.
Best Regards,
Siva

STO generated by MRP to other plant

Dear all,
I need to to generate STO for other plant for RAW matl requirement. and MRP should generate it.
so please reply me if anybody know how to maintain data in the system that it will generate STO for other specific plant only
Regards,
Vimlesh

Hi
Did you maintain the special procurement keys which you intend for the Default plant in the Master data new entries table? There wil be 10 keys , instead of going by new entries(sometines this does not work because of our entry mistake), you can copy and assign your plant for all the keys, by this way you wil make available all the special Proc.keys for your plant, as you might want to change later the key due to some reason or other based upon the requirement.
Second, maintain procurement type F/X and the Spl procurement type 40 in the MRP2 view of the materials, it is expected that you are also filling in other details as required in other MRP views also.
You can not directly generate STO from MRP run, have a look In MD04 for the materials which are subject to ext procurement. You can check each level of the material by entering material no. in the requirement table in MD04 and view the PRs whether they are generated or not.
Either you can go by ME59 or simply you can directly proceed from the MD04 screen by doubel clicking the PR and converting it into a PO by adopting it in PO level, If we have any customised PO document type that can be used here instead if the standard NB type also.

Restriction of planned order generation (mrp)in other plant.

Hi,
I am running mrp for sales orders and i want to restrict the planned order generation in other plants other than the sales order plant.
through standard activity it can be blocked by not maintaining special procurement key of stock transfer.
But some users are creating manual demand in other plant(STPO) against the same sales order for some sub assembly. so if they are running MD02 in their plant it is creating planned orders against the same sales order.
I want to restrict the planned order generation against any sales order in other plants. How it can be done.any enhancement please suggest.
Regards
Madan

Hi,
we cannot restrict the authorizations so specifically here in my business client.
Based on planned orders we have defined some programs.
the programs are effecting because of these unwanted planned orders which have been created for a different plant sales orders.
Is there any enhancement or BADI to control the creation of planned orders in other plant for a sales order of different plant.
please suggest.

How to consider the stocks of other plants in MRP run

Hello All,
I have a requirement in which A finished material which it´s planning and production is on PLANT 1 and and is transfered to plant 2 (there is no production and no planning on this plant, it is used for storage only). In that case, I would like the MRP to check the stock of finished material both in plant 1 and 2 for creating planned orders .
I know this can be possible with APO . but is there any other way round we can do this like MRP area or scope of planning or some z developemenmts.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Is there any stock at production plant? Where does the goods issue to sales occur?
If both plants can have stock and sales can occurs in both plants then it is the issue not only stock but also sales order consumption with planned independent requirement. You need to have two BADI to do so. First is the one you mentioned and the flexible PIR also (MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS).
If only storage plant has stock and sales occurs here, then you may want to explore special procurement type produce in other plant and make storage plant a planning plant. The receipt of production order at production plant will posted into storage plant directly.
If sales occurs in storage plants, and there are stock in both plant, use special procurement type transfer from others (40 as standard). When you run MRP, the system will check stock at storage plant first, then if shortage, create stock transfer request to production plant. At production plant, the stock transfer request will be your demand to offset with stock there before create planned order.
Like other comments stated previously, SAP cannot handle the multiple plants planning very well.

Considering stocks of both plants in special procure. type scenario.-urgent

Hi dudes,
Our client is using special procurement type 80(prod.in alternative plant), he is getting planned order in delivering plant as requirement generated by planning plant. while running MRP in both plants, it would consider only the stock of planning plant but not the stock of delivering plant suppose stock is made in delivering plant individually(say manual orders). As the requirement generated by planning plant, the planned order will be generated in delivering plant irrespective of its individual stock.
can we make the system to consider what ever the stock in delivering plant and create no planned order if stock is there.
thanks in advance
Robert

Robert,
If that was your requirement why not use Special Procurement key 70 (Withdraw from alternate plant). In this case system only creates reservation and Planning at Supplying plant will be based on the Net requirement calculation considering all recipets, Stock and Issues.

MRP with stocks in other plant

Hi,
Scenario: 5 stocking Plants + 1 Manufacturing plant under a company code.
For a finished product, all 6 Plants have stock.
For MRP, the demand of the finsihed product from all 6 plants is combined and fed as PIR feeding at manufacturing plant.
Question: How to make SAP to consider stock of all plants and generate the planned order for the difference Qty?
E.g. PIR at Mfg plant = 100 Nos.
Stocks at 5 Stocking plants = 50 nos
Stocks at 1 Mfg plant = 10 nos
Hence on MRP run, system to generate planned order for 100 - (50+10) = 40 Nos at mfg Plant.
Thanks

Hi Nitin,
SAP's planning is based on lean-manufacturing practices - i.e. you will never have stocks in excess of requirements (plus safety stock). So, in reality, you will not need to "adjust" your production for stocks lying at stocking plants (stocks at stocking plants would be just equal to safety stock logic defined at each plant).
Now say some demand at any of the stocking plants got cancelled, and you end up with excess stocks at that moment. So in next MRP-run, system will delete some future STOs. Or, if there is nothing to delete, then MRP-list will show exception message # 25, and you can decide how to move that excess stocks.
So, in conclusion, adjustment of production, based on stocks at all 6 plants, will NOT be needed. Just produce as per MRP proposals, and be on the lookout for exception message # 25. (Hope you are using special procurement key for demand transfer from stocking plant to production plant).

11.0.3 MRP creates WIP for dep demand at other plant - need internal req

At one manufacturing plant for finished good item, have component sourced from other plant. When MRP runs it creates WIP Job for component sources at other plant, need is to have internal req. Please advise what needs to be changed.
Ex - Finished Good is Car at chicago plant, one of main subcomponent wheels is from mexico plant.
Wheels are setup as buy, with inventory source type and source plant from mexico in item attributes at chicago org.
This wheels item is setup at mexico plant.
MRP release of planned order is creating WIP job at mexico plant for wheels component.
we want mrp release of planned order should create internal requisition when demand for finished good car comes at chicago plant.
Please advise what needs to be changed in 11.0.3 environment.

Hey there,
I think you should check your SOURCING RULES for those items wheels.
Make sure the sourcing rules are of "TRANSFER FROM" type with the right org and not "MAKE AT".
Hope this helps, if you find it helpful or correct please kindly mark it as such,

Purchase and sales flow resulting from 'production in other plant'.

Dear all,
When using the procurement type 'P' (production in other plant), materials are consumed in plant A and goods receipts from production order happens in plant B.
When plants A and B belong to different company codes, SAP generates a cross-company document. Within the receiving company, the offsetting account for the stock account is the cross-company clearing account.
This posting is generally not sufficient as legal and tax requirements ask for a sales and purchasing flow between the 2 company codes. Therefore many companies need to 'develop a solution' to complete this posting 'after the facts'.
Does anybody know whether this additional posting exists under the form of an 'add-on' or additional solution to the standard made available by one or another partner of SAP ? Note that the starting point for this question is important : our company wants to use the 'production in other plant' flow because the native purchase and sales flows are too much time consuming.
Thanks for your help.
José Beghein

Hi all,
I want to be a bit more accurate here :
The produced material in plant B has a special procurement type code (MARC-SOBSL) which in its definition contains procurement type E (BESKZ) and special procurement P (ESOBS). It is special procurement P that triggers the 'production in other plant' behaviour. The production plant (WRK02) is also specified in the definition of the special procurement type code.
Kind regards.

Requirement from other plant.

Hi Gurus,
There are plants A and B. Plant B is in need of service parts. Plant A is also not having stock for same parts then creates Purchase order for some vendor and corresponding requirement is triggered in plant B with reference as Procurement should be carried out in plant B. Plant B then purchase required parts for plant B. How this scenario can be mapped in SAP. Is there any way to map this? Please guide with detail steps.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi
You can do that with the help of special procurement key in SAP. You need to define your own special procurement key for your plant in t.code OPPQ. Give your plant. Then click in special procurement. Create new entries.Give procurement type F and tick with draw from alternate plant or other options as per your requirement. Then Then assign it in masterial master for the required masterials. So that requirements in one plant is reflected in other plant.

Withdrawal from other plant- sales

Hi dudes,
suppose if i am using 70 special proc. key for semifinished materials and are planned in other plant gets consumed for FERT materials order in the main plant.
suppose if i maintain the sales views for these semifinshed materilas in the main plant and can i do the PGI for sales order from other plant to main plant where the sales procesing is happening.
thanks in advance
Robert

Special procurment key 70 is reservation from FERT plant to the supplyiong plant.
Against this reservation you need to issue the material? Is it your scenario?
As I know the material will be withdrawn duting backflush from the supplying plant directly
If you want to sell the raw material from supplying plant to production plant, then you need to set up STO, in OMGN.
Since usually we use it for inter company tranfer and billing, I am not sure whether you can do it for the plants with in the same company code.

PR: Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined

Hi,
Getting the error message: 06806 - Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined
while creating the PR with account assingment (P- project) & without material no. instead entering the short text in the PR.
this issue (Error message) is getting to only one user.
question-1: Is it possible to set the Error messages to the user specific. Because other users are able to create the PR with the above inputs, but the one user is not able to create instead getting the above E- Msg.
question-2: Is it possible to set the messages to Plant specific instead quesiton -1 or both
Or else, please let me know how to deactivate the above E-msg to the specific user.
Please do the needful asap.
Regards,
Sapsrin

Hi,
As you noticed, note 856962 has changed the system behaviour
when you are working with procurement w/o material from vendor with
plant assignment.
Items without a material master record can only be ordered from vendors
without a plant assignment.
This note will stop your users from creating service purchase orders
for a vendor who has a Plant assigned in the vendor master, issuing
the error message 06 806.
you can check the below code:-
LMEPOF23
IF ekpo-ematn IS INITIAL AND
      ( aktyp EQ hin OR ekko-reswk NE oekko-reswk OR      "856962
     ( aktyp EQ hin OR NOT ekko-reswk IS INITIAL OR        "856962
        ekko-bsakz NE oekko-bsakz OR
        gf_extended_check NE space ).
    PERFORM enaco_2(sapfmmex) USING '06' '806'.

STO from one plant to other plant

Hi,
Can some one send me the various way's one can send a stock from one plant to other plant with complete flow's.

Hi,
Usually sotck transfers are of two types one is
1. intercompany stock transfer between two plants of differnt company codes again in this two types are there
i) direct step process Or one step: in this the quantity of the supplying plant is directly posted into the inventory of receving plant.movement type of supplying plant is 645
ii)Two step proces:in this the receiving plant has to do the MIGO i.e., goods receipt.movement type of supplying plant is 643
2.intra company stock process i.e., stock transfer between two plants of the same company code.in this again two process
i) direct step process Or one step: in this the quantity of the supplying plant is directly posted into the inventory of receving plant.movement type of supplying plant is 647
ii)Two step proces:in this the receiving plant has to do the MIGO i.e., goods receipt.movement type of supplying plant is 641
For stock transfer configuration process make a small search in this forum u can get lot of stuff.
If it helps reward me .
