MRP creating delivery date on PO´s by vendor

Good morning folks,
I´d like to share my scenario and see if you have something similar.
Currently we have a planning cicle set on MRP1 one view to restrict PO delivery date on fridays, due our receiving process we cannot receive materials on friday, so our planning cicle is set from monday to thursday, and works fine.
Now our supply chain area intents to have the following, the chemical vendors deliver only mondays, steel vendors on tuesdays and so on.
I was looking into Vendor master and we don´t have a specific field to place a planning cycle or planning calendar by vendor, my first guess is that this is a very commom business scenario. I know I can accomplish that just starting to use Scheduling Agreements and setting up receiving dates on monday, but it will bring a huge manual activities..
Does anyone has the same requirement ? how to make sap to set delivery date on fixed days by vendor or group of vendor as explained above?
thanks
Carlos Q.M.

good afternoon Carlos,
If I understood correctly, what you need is to setup MRP to force the delivery date in the purchasing documents exactly as you have in the planning calendar (tcode MD25), lets say, you want to receive goods only on tuesdays, then create your calendar with day in the week you want to receive products.
technically speaking ok, create planning calendar that will be added in the MRP1 and MRP2 views, with the day you want to have the delivery date on Purchase docs.
then at tcode OMI4, you must have one Lot size with field "Lot-size indicator" with "K" - Period lot size as in PPC planning calend., and field "Date Interpretation" equals to "1" - Delivery date.
Assign that to your MRP1 view and make sure your MRP2 has also the same key in the field Planning calendar, under Schedulingtab.
Run the MRP, you will get what you need.
Now, you must check the impacts on your current MRP and inventory process, because you may have over delivery for one week in case of holiday or shortage of material depending on the week.
Will this really be efective in terms of costs and inventory management ?
what your production area says about that ?
well, there are many question you must get answer before implement that.
hope that helps you.
you can find more details on the following posts.

MRP run & delivery date

Hi,
Could some one please help?
When MRP is run the purchase reqs are created with delivery date 5 days apart even though the planned delivery time is maintained as 1 day. What else controls the delivery date. Thanks in advance

Below are taken into consideration to calculate Delivery Date
1. Plan delivery time
2. Purchase dept processing time
3. GR processing time
also check whether deliverydate falling on weekends, system allways proposes working Day

MRP : MD02 delivery dates

Dear all ,
I am running MRP for Raw material in MD02 , Current stock available is 0 .Lead time is 10 Days
For the Same requirement for 15.04.2009 is 500 and requirement on 20.04.2009 is 400 (in MD61)
In Md02 parameters are : NETCH , 1 , 3 , 1 , 3 & 2 respectively .
Today if i run MRP system is giving Dates : for 1st Pur req is 25.04.2009 & second also Same 25.04.2009
Why ? where for the Second requirement of 20.04.2009 the Dely date should be 20 + 10 days = 30.04.2009 .
Pl guide where i am making mistake?

It is not your mistake and the systems mistake too..
What MRP gives is correct.. Your lead time is 10 days... , the material cannot be available in advance for the first date.......as the requirement is released today and the material can be available on 25.4.2009.... . SO the system is urging the requirement on 25.4.2009..It is not for the second date ..It is for the total requirement..
Your doubt will be cleared if you have the first requirement on today..( the del date will be 25.4.2009)
and the second date as 15.5.2009..( for this req,the PR will be raised on 5.5.2009 and the mat will be available on 15.5.2009)..

Creating delivery notes for providing material to vendor (subcontracting)

Hi,
I am pretty new in the PP module of SAP, and have a general question regarding the subcontracting process for single operations in a production order.
Assuming the raw material has id A and the final material has id B. My routing consists of several operations that have to be performed to transform A into B. One of the operations has to be done with subcontracting (key PP02), and the system creates the purchase requisition / purchase order for it. I have operations before and after it.
Now I need to send the parts to the vendor, and want to create some kind of delivery notes (paper), which helps controlling the shipping etc., how can I do this? All I have right now is the purchase order, which does not contain any information about the material, but only about the service to be performed by the vendor.
I already thought about assigning a bom for providing material in the purchase order. But then I would need a material ID for the semi-final part which is somewhere between A and B and would need to have it on stock.
What is the standard way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards!
Daniel

Hi Nandha!
Thanks for your quick response.
If I check the "Subcontracting" button on the tab Ext. processing in the production order, I need to assign components in the purchase order which will be provided to the vendor. These components either have to be on stock, or would be processed by MRP and planned orders would be created. That is not what I need.
I have only one single part which consists of a raw material and only gets modified by the operations. No other component will be added at the vendor. So which material ID should I assign to the purchase order in order to just send the semi-finished pieces to the vendor? I cannot assign the raw-material again, because it would create another demand in the MRP again! I also cannot put the semi-finished parts on stock, because I don't have a material id for the part in this status.
Thanks & regards!

Making delivery date catagory in delivery schedule as week in Sch. agreemen

Dear MM gurus,
I am creating automatic delivery schedules in scheduling agreement via MRP run and i am using standard weekly lot sizing procedure. Delivery schedule so created have 'D' as delivery date category. My requirement is to create schedule via MRP with delivery date category as 'W'. Kindly tell me where can i default delivery date category in delivery schedule lines to week (W). Please post of more information if required. I will be quick to respond.
Thanks
Avinash

Hi,
If the Lot Size is set to 'W', it instructs the MRP to group all the requirements in a week, considering it as single lot and create
procurement element to cover these requirements. It has no influence on the delivery date category in the schedule line or date category in any procurement element.
When the Schedule lines are generated by the MRP run, the default date category is always D (date format). There is no settings/customizing available to alter this behavior.
Kind Regards,
Suneet

Automatic emails to vendor before delivery date in PO

Hi All,
I have successfully done the configuration for auto emails to vendor, it will work based on the delivery date (AFTER), which is working fine.
Please guide me the settings for auto emails to vendor (BEFORE) delivery date in PO.
Example: In PO the delivery date is 07.07.2014, vendor needs to be get the auto email on 01.07.2014.
Please guide me on this.
Thanks

HI
If I understood your requirement correctly, you need to send a reminder to vendor before delivery date
For example, in your case PO delivery date is 7/7/2014 and system should send a reminder on 1/7/2014 I .e 6 days prior to delivery date
So in material master or info record reminder 1 maintain value as -6 ( copied to PO when PO is created) and set up a schedule job in ME91F for auto reminders.
Hope it helps

Delivery date var 1-5 in MC$6

Hi;
We don't use vendor evaluation , but we want to use MC$6 to analyse delivery date variance for all our vendors.
is it possible to get delivery date var 1-5 field populated in MC$6.
we have maintained parameters in img for del date var1-5. We are still getting no values in MC$6 for delivery date var key figures.
Any suggestions how to achieve this?
regards
Rahul.

Hi,
Go to MCFC transaction and maintain the parameters for the purchase organization. Now, create a new PO and do GR for the same. If there is delivery date variance, the same will be recorded in S012 table and the same will be displayed in MC$6 transaction.
If its not getting updated, refer the KBA: 2009911 - S012 field Delivery date variance (TABW1-5) not updated

Preventing Statistics-Relevant Delivery Date

Our vendor and transport compani often change delivery date and we have to change it in purchase orders to send correct data into MRP.
But purchase managers want to get information obout initial delivery dates.
As I understand "Statistics-Relevant Delivery Date" is used for this purpose. But when I chage delivery date Statistics-Relevant Delivery Date is changed also. According to HELP this date must not chaged.
My question is how to fix

Dear,
If the purchase order outputted to vendor, the statistical delivery date will not be changed in purchase order even you change delivery date, since its important for vendor evaluation.
With the second anser to this thread, through version management for purchase orders you can track the changes. Try this as I am not sure.

Statistical delivery date in S.A

Hi
Is it possible to get the statistical delivery date considering the inco terms, vendor transport time etc...in the Scheculing agreements without MRP run...?

Hello,
Thanks for the answer. But as i already stated, Note 1164767 did not helped to solve the issue. I wanted to know how system will automaticall calculate and display statistical delivery date in PO? What are the parameters that govern this? What are the input values to calculate automatically statistical delivery date? Normally why this will be same as delivery date in PO? Suppose I want statistical delivery date = Planned delivery time + GR processing time + Purchasing department processing time + Some allowance (Say additional 1 day). For ex: Statistical Delivery date = 10 + 3 + 2 + 1= 16 days from the date of PO. Please tell me how to get this calculated in system automatically?
Thanks in advance for your valuable answer.

Create delivery in subcontracting - Essential transfer parameters missing

Hi Guys,
This is my first thread - I hope I get everything right
From ME2O, stock monitoring for Vendor (subcontracting), I want to create a delivery to the vendor. After checking a material with a requirement and pressing "Create delivery" I get a box containing:
Vendor:
material:
Plant:
Shipping Point:
Stor. location:
Batch:
Quantity:
All fields are predefined and filled except "Shipping point". It's grayed so I can't search/enter it manually. I have assigned a loading group to the material in the Material Master: Sales: General/Plant. So where does this (missing) value come from if not the loading group?
Hoping for an answer
/Thomas

Hi Thomas,
The shipping pt has to maintained in customizing
spro>logistics execution> shipping>basic shipping fns>shipping pt and GR pt determination
maintain the shipping pt here for your plant and try again.
Hope this helps

Delivery date should fall on every monday for a PR created by MRP

Hi Gurus,
A PR is created by MRP. I need to have delivery date of the PR on every monday. Please let me know , what settings has to be done...
Regards,
Vibin

Friends Thanks for your reply.
Here is the answer
1. Set the planning calendar as the period stats with Monday.
2. Set the weekly lot sizing procedure in such way that the scheduling field as 1 = requirement date = delivery date.
3. Assign these settings in the MRP view of material master.
If you run the MD02 then your requirement date will only falls on Monday.
But since our requirement is delivery date should fall on Monday.
4. So the GR processing time should be zero in the MRP 2 view of material master.
Because the delivery date calculated as follows
Delivery date = Requirement date - GR processing time.
By this way the delivery date also falls on the same day (Monday ) as the Requirement date.
Again thanks for your answers and expecting the comments on the same.
Regards
Vibin

How to adjust the delivery date in PR generated by MRP

Hi.
We use MRP to generate PRs. The PRs are generated and the delivery date is also being calculated based on PR processing time + planned del. time + GR process.time.
However my requirement is that the delivery date in the PR should be always Tuesday for the week we need the parts.
E.G. Say MRP run has created a PR with delivery date as 28.02.2008, then system should automatically shift that date to Tuesday's date 26.02.2008 for that week.
IF PR delivery date as per MRP is say 03.03.2008 (Monday), then system should automatically make it to Tuesday's date 04.03.2008.
so in short , each and every PR generated for any vendor , the delivery date should be always the tuesday's date in front of the week we need the parts.
So is there any standard setting or functionality available in SAP to achieve the same.?
IF not, then is there any user exit to achive the same.?
Pls help.
Thanks and regards

Can you please help me by informaing how can I run Time phased planning.
My requirement is that MRP Run should give me the PRs with delivery date as Tuesday. Say planned del.time is 28 days . Pur.proc.time is 2 days and GR procee.time is 1 day.
I want to run MRP every week. and. How can I set up period and what to set.?
Questions:
1) Calculation rule: Weekly with 'perid begins on (2) Tuesday?
2) Minimum period: 1 day. Is it right?
3) Valid from and valid to date: I am specifying as per my requirement: (how much it should be?)
4) How to run MD03.
Any general guideline on how timephased planning woks?
Like we need to run every week on spcified day , it generates requirement for the weeks in question only , or etc etc. .
I have never used timephased planning. So can you please help me.
Thanks

MRP for STO Delivery Date Issue

Dear Gurus,
We are using MRP to generate STO purchase requisition for a specific material.
We have entered planned delivery time in the receiving plant. The supplying plant is 1000 and receiving plant is 2000.
We have entered planned delivery time in plant 2000 for 10 days . MRP is run at mid night. System is generating PR . But the delivery date is same as current date.
E.G: Material A planned delivery time 10 days in plant 2000
Planning date is 20/07/2014
in PR : Delivery date is 29/7/2014
and PR release date is 19/7/2014.
The release date is appearing in the past. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Sreedhar

Hi Dev,
When i create STO PR manually all the dates are appearing as per standard calculation considering the planned delivery cost.
The issue is in MRP run.
Thanks & Regards,

MRP delivery date

Suppose for the material ABC reorder point is 10 and i have stock 10 qty. I got a requiremnt and deliveried the 10 qty available.
Now when runnign MRP with value in the filed create purchase requisition as '2' (i.e create PR in the opening period) whether the system will create planned order or purchase requisition and why.How the system will calculate the delivery date.
Whether we have to delivery date manually or system will propose?
Thank you.

hi,
Delivery date is calculated based on the Planned del time entered in the MRP view of the MMR...
RLT - Planned del date + GR processing time + purchasing processing time...
So del. date will be auto. defaulted...
Now the planned order and the PR's will be created 5 and 5 for the indicator '2' with the combination of the procurement indicator for the both(External + internal)..
If you want all 10 PR's to be created from MRP use indicator 1
If you want all 10 to be planned orders from MRP use indi. 3...
Hope it helps..
