MRP controller to APO product planner

Hi,
I want to use product planner as MRP controller to run PP heuristics.
What I have done is as follows:
1. I create planner in APO: Advanced Planning & Optimization->Supply Chain Planning->Specify Person Responsible(Planner)
2. In ECC, I use exit CIFMAT01 to change CT_CIF_MATLOC-PLANNR_PPS according to IT_MARC-DISPO.
But after CFM2, the product planner in /SAPAPO/MAT1 is still null.
Is there anything wrong?
Best Regards
Rui

Rui, This is what we did to accomplish this:
In the R/3 User exit include ZXCIFUSERU08,
Loop at IT_MATLOC where METHOD = ‘N’ (For each new product location),
Read IT_MARC with key Material, Plant.
If not IT_MARC-DISPO IS INITIAL.
Set IT_MATLOC-PLANNR_PPS = IT_MARC-DISPO
(Copy MRP Controller on to APO Production Planner)
Update the change table (IT_MATLOCX)
Endloop.

MApping of MRP Controller in SCM

Hi Friends,
I am a bit unsure of integration of MRP Controller between ECC and APO.
My understanding is that the MRP Controller field in automatically populated into the SNP or any other Planner field in APO when the material is integrated. We need the user exit EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLCIF_PROD_001 to populate the value into the Extras field .
Is my understanding correct ? or do we need the user exit to populate the MRP controller into APO ?
Thanks in advance for your replies !

Ranjini.

Hi Ranjini.
There is something else you need to be careful of here.
In ECC, MRP Controllers are configured at the plant level, whereas in APO planners are configured globally.
This can lead to the situation where you are trying to map many to one.
For example, MRP Controller '001' in Plant X = Traded Goods but MRP Controller '001' in Plant Y = Manufactured Goods. You would only be able to create 1 '001' planner in APO.
This would mean that you have to create an APO planner for each MRP Controller/Location combination, meaning you couldn't use the same numbering convention as the MRP Controllers.
Hope this helps.

MRP type field in Product view of APO

Dear Experts,
I am developing a querry based report on product master of APO for reconcillation purpose.
I couldnt find field MRP type in product master (/sapapo/mat1) also couldnt track any table which will report MRP type to me.
Could you please help me in this.
Many thanks in Advance.
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
You will not find MRP type in APO system, the reason is only specific MRP type have flexibility to plan in APO, that means SAP standard.
MRP type X0 means external planning - APO system.
Thank you,

Mass update for production and planned order MRP controller

Hi Gurus,
It's anyway possible to mass update MRP controller for Production orders and Planned orders. If any please provide me step by step process.
Thanks,
B.Deethya.

I feel You have changed the MRP controller in Material master and want to incorporate same in production order & plan order.
For Planned order Run MRP with delete and recreate mode, system will create a new plan order with MRP controller in Material master
For production order, Mass change is not possible, create a simple BDC or LSMW, And change the MRP controller

Planner order - change MRP controller

Hi PP Guru
Can I change value in field "MRP controller" when i manual create planned order, MD11 ?
MRP controller is copied from the material master when the material number is checked, but can i change it to another ?
In Prod.Order field "MRP Controller" is editable
In Purch.Req. field "MRP Controller" is editable
In Planned Order field "MRP Controller" is NOT editable.
Thanks.

Hi,
It depends upon your authorisation profile. Normally MRP run, Planned order creation authorisation is given for the MRP controller only. Because MRP controller is the person responsible to plan that particular material. So with out his knowledge you cannot create the planned order.

MRP Controller with SO and STO

Can anybody suggest me,
1. In the process of SO, which will be the MRP Controller: maintain with supplying Plant in Material Master Record or reciving plant?
2. In the process of STO, which will be the MRP Controller: maintain with supplying Plant in Material Master Record or reciving plant?

Hi,
MRP Controller who got ownership to run MRP. Based on demand and then requirement, MRP run by an individual (MRP Controller) to keep maximum possibility for available of materials/goods.
But always keep Delivering Plant as production plant in Sales org-1 view in material master and copy material from production plant to all other plants for business to run.

MRP Group, MRP controller

hi all..
when we are going for imlementation, how to deside how many MRP Group, MRP controller, production scheduller required? what are the factors should be consider for selecting those? is there any thumb rule for selection?.....

The MRP group contains all the materials from the point of view of MRP for assigning special control parameters for the total planning run. These control parameters include, for example, the strategy group, the consumption mode, and the planning horizon. out of all the material in plant which material need to be groped for make to stock (10), which materials need to be made to make to order(20), what are the material need to be grouped for consuption based planning like consumables based on consumption pattern.
MRP CONTROLLER
Specifies the PERSON/PERSONS responsible for material planning for the particular material/material group
so this grouping and keeping one person responsible for particular material or group depends on 1) volume and value of the material 2) criticality of the material 3)its significance and availability of the material 3) the control and vigiliance you want on the material lie imported materials etc..
whic varies from client to client based their requirement.
general thumb rule:
take the help of ABC analysis
A category items for 20% of volume consist of about 70-80% of total cost.
b category items for which 10% volume consists of 10- 20% of total cost
c. category items for which 70% volume consist of 10-20% of total cost
and also one category which have more planned delivery time , or materials whic takes max time to process like FORMING MATERIALS etc.
clients analyse generally apply COST, TIME,AVAILABILTY, CONTROLABILITY into consideration.

Transaction data in MRP areas in APO

Hi,
We are using storage location MRP areas in APO.In ECC we have a storage location 5000 under plant 1000. We have defined storage location as MRP area and transferred to APO. Now we have two locations in APO one is 1000 and another location 5000 (with location type 1007).one material is existing in both these locations. We have a forecast in location 5000 and a Pur requisition is created for this material in 5000 after SNP heuristics. We are able to see the Pur Requisition in 5000 location in the product view.But when we are looking in 1000 location in the product view,we are not able to see the same purchase requisition.Is this standard functionality or am i missing any setting?
In ECC we can see the same purchase requisition in both the MRP areas in 5000 and 1000 in MD04. But the same is not in APO? we are not able to see in 1000 plant in product view but could see in 5000 location in product view.
Any one has this issue?
Thanks
Chandrakanth

Hello Chandrakanth,
Check if the storage MRP area is not been transfered to APO as Plant.
Take a look on note 896482, perhaps it can helps in analyze how you are CIFing the MRP areas to APO.
Hope it helps.

Changing MRP controller for planned order

Hello experts,
Is there any way the planner could change the MRP controller of a planned order within MD12 ? We are using ver 4.7 and this field is not enabled. Currently the planners are creating prod orders much in advance and are looking to move to a process where they firm planned order. We are using project stock planning structure so more that one planner may create orders for the same material. So when one planner review the material planning for one project he would firm the planned order and assign it to him for leater conversion.
Note: I the config I didn't saw any field selection control for planned orders.
Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom.

Francois,
Very interesting question. However I never had to change those fields in either planned or prodcution orders.
Both orders master data fileds are disabled.
However since your are working with project orders ( or netwrok orders ) system would be giving you specific planner order hard tied to the project order ( similar to Made to order scenario).
Planner could use MD51 ( project planning ) & MD4C ( option for Netwrok or WBS element ) for monitoring progress of his /her order.
This way planners do not have to go by MRP controller data.
Hope this provides some new thoughts.
Thanks,
Ram

APO Demand Planner

Hello Experts,
I need your replies for the below requirement.
I need complete list of Cubes,DSO, Master Data used for below requirements
The APO Demand Planner Master and Transactional Data for
Product/Time/Sales/Distribution hierarchies, Sales Order History, Financial / Budgeting info., Shipments History, Promotions History, Selling Price, Production & Transportation Costs.
ineed to prepare the estimate doc.
regards
kv

A Demand Planner will have the responsibilities of validating and fine tuning the sales forecast numbers and passing them to the Supply Planners/Production Planners. Once the base forecast is generated by the APO DP forecast models, the demand planners need to keep an eye on those numbers, co-ordinate with the sales & marketing people to make note of any additional sales or deviations and then release those numbers to supply planners (SNP) / Production planners.
They also play a key role in deciding and planning new products launched which do not have earlier sales history, promotion planning and any other 'events' which the system on it's own cannot manage.
Generally, each Demand Planner 'owns' up a group of products (or geographical territory) and has the responsibility of correctly managing the future sales of those products.
Hope this helps.

MC.9 report is showing -ve value when MRP controller selected

Hi Expert,
I'm confuse about the -ve value in MC.9. If i run by using Plant as the selection parameter for month 02.2010, then sorted by valuatted stock value(ascending), it will not show me the -ve value for all materials. But if i run the report by using Plant and MRP controller as the selection parameters,then sorted by valuated stock value(ascending), it shows me the -ve value. why?
Please explain.
Thanks

hi jurgen,
i still not clear. I try to run the report for material A and mrp controller 001. I got the -ve value. But when i run the material without mrp controller, it shows 0. no -ve value. i check in MM03,changes history for the material. MRP controller has been changed few times but the latest is 160. What am i confusing is, what is the relation between MRP controller with the report? What is the function of the report actually? Isn't it suppose to give the same data either i put the MRP controller or not when running the report?
Thanks
