MRP- Forward Scheduling

Hi Team,
I have requirement that during MRP run (MD02), planned order to be created for my FERT item with "Forward schedjuling". I understand that MRP always performed with "Backward Scheduling" by default. But i have below clarifications.
Q1: If i set the scheduling type as 'Forward Scheduling" in OPU5 for my plant & order type (LA), still MRP run in MD02 performs "Backward scheduling"?
Q2: How the basic start date & basic end date for my planned orders are calculated during MRP using "Forward Scheduling" with the below assumptions.
Assumptions:
1. In OPU5, for my plant & order type "LA" "Forwad scheduling" is set
2. I do not have routing for my FERT item & i have default operation set in OPJG for my order type & plant
3. In house production time is maintained as 2 days in my FERT material master
4. I have BOM for my FERT item which has only one ROH item.
5. For the ROH item, in my material master, i have set the planned delivery time as 3 days.
6. For the ROH item, the current stock in the plant is ZERO.
7. GR Processing time for both the FERT & ROH item is ZERO.
8. All the days are working day in my plant except saturday & Sunday
9. In MD04, i do not have any entries for my FERT item except the below PIR quantity of 5
10. In MD04, i do not have any entries for my ROH item
11. I did not maintain any schedule margin key for my FERT & ROH item in my material master.
With the above assumptions, i have created the PIR for my FERT item on 01.08.2014 for the quantity 5.
Q3: With this condition, if run MRP for my FERT item, what will be the "basic start date" & "basic end date" for my FERT planned order & what will be the "basic start date" & "basic end date" for my ROH planned order?
Your valuable guidance will be very much needed. Currently i do not have test system to test this case. hence need your valuable comments
Thanks

Hi Caetano,
I have read the document provided by you. Still i can not clear on some points.
The document says that:
For a planned order created by MRP, you observe the following symptoms:
MRP considers the requirement date as basic finish date and calculates the basis start date using backward scheduling
The planned order basic finish date is equal to the requirement date and it is not adjusted according to the production finish date.
As per the above statement after running MRP in MD02 with "Scheduling" type as "Lead Time Scheduling & Capacity Planning", the basic dates are determined with "BACKWARD SCHEDULING" (even though in OPU5 i have mentioned the scheduling type as "FORWARD") as below screen shot & also the "Basic dates" are NOT adjusted even though in OPU5, i have mentioned as "Adjust basic dates & adjust dep.req date to operation date" which is right as per the system design which can not be changed.
Note: I have kept the in house production time as 5 days for my FERT item in material master.
My question is "How the Production dates" are derived during MRP run (refer in the above screen shot). In the routing, i have maintained the labour time as "42.5 hours" for 1 base quantity.
Note: I have maintained the in house production time as 5 days in material master & in routing the labour hours as 42.5 hours (equal to 5days considering 8.5 hours as working hours per day). So the data maintained in material master & in routing are synchronized (CA97)
Thanks

How to disable forward scheduling in Sales order

Hi SD Experts,
Can you please provide the solutions for the below requirements.
Requirement details are below:
How to disable forward scheduling in sales orders....
For My sales order type i already configured in customizing that delivery scheduling should only carry out backward scheduling.
The results is tht no forward scheduling in carried out when material is i stock .. this is ok...
But when there is no stock and ATP indiates an expected inward movemnt, the system ignores the indicator and carries out forward scheduling anyway.
Is there any possibility to change this behaviour?
Appreciate any help....
Regards
Sudheer

Hi
If you do not want the system to switch to forward scheduling automatically, you can specify per plant in Customizing for MRP, in the IMG activity Parameters for determining the basic dates that the system is to continue the backward scheduling calculation even if the resulting start date lies in the past.
Thanks & Regards

Whenever system does the forward scheduling for the external procurement ,

Dear Guru,
In one of plant i have a typical problem.
Whenever system does the forward scheduling for the external procurement , system does not takes Todays date (MRP Run date).
System simply sifted the requirement date by 30 days. and scheduled accordingly. In the expection message system shows the correct requirement date.
Please help.
Regards,
Sanjay

Dear ,
Can you let us know what value you're using for Scheduling when you carry out MRP run 1 or 2 ? Are you getting Planned Order while running MRP ? Wht is the Lot Size are you using in the MMR-MM02-MRP1 view ? Wht is GR processing Time and PDT?
Check the following in your case :
1.Go to Transaction code omi4- Select the MRP lot sizeGo to the "Scheduling" in the Tab Lot size for the short term period-
Check the Scheduling indicator : Requirement Date =Delivery Date in MRP Lot sizing Procedure in OM14.Basically ,this indicator defines the time in the period the system is to create the availability date or the start date for the lot for period lot-sizing procedures.
2.Goto OPPQ-Carry All Overall plant parameters -Order Start date in the Past -Check wether you are marked.
3.Goto -OMEW-Check the PR processing time in days

Opening period (schedule margin key) in forward scheduling

Please advise whether opening period is used in forward scheduling that we specify in schedule margin key? if not, what will be the reason?

Hi,
Opening period is used only in Backword scheduling.
b'cause opening period is period of workdays deducted from the start date to determine the creation date of order.
reward points if useful to you.

Explain How delivery date is calculated using backward and forward schedul

How can anyone please explain how delivery date is calculated using forward and backward scheduling
I want to have it broken down into the following steps
for eg for delivery date calculation following dates are used
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Can some one please give me an example and explain wht these dates are
for eg customer needs delivery date on 11/20/2008
how would the system cacluate whether it can meet the delivery date using backward scheduling
and if it doesnt meet how does the system do the forward scheduling
also i am not clear with the following dates
material avaialibilty date
material staging date
transportation date
can some one please explain me all this in detail
Thanks

Hi,
Basically this is the CRSD(Customer requested ship date logic)logic in which system calculates the ship date depends upon the material availability. If material is available system calculates ship date on the basis of master data maintained in customisation.Master data is maintained in the following link.
If material is not available then system takes into consideration vendor delivery date & then calculate customer ship date.
Please go through the link in SPRO
LE-Shipping -Basic shipping functions-Scheduling -Delivery scheduling & Transportation scheduling-Maintain duration.
In customisation following data is maintained
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Hope you got the idea of CRSD calculation

Prashant.

Forward scheduling auto post to future date

Hi all,
I have got a problem about post goods issue. When post to a past GI date, the system said "Delivery date cannot be met, forward scheduling to delivery date 10.07.05 00:00 Message no. VL127" and post to today date automatically. It should not allow to post.
Anyone know what is the problem?
Thank you.

See transaction OVM1
Also, check SAP Note
- Note 150576 - Error message VL127 on creating delivery from project.
- Note 154824 - Error in Customizing of controllable error msgs

PR Delivery Date MRP Forward/Backword planning

Does system ensures PR Delivery date is always working day ? Please see below examples
Backward planning:
Requirement Date: 03/05/2010 [Monday]
Suppose GR Processing time = 0, Planned delivery time = 1 Day, purchase processing time = 0
Now what would be PR Delivery date? by calculation it must be Saturday isn't it [03/052010 - 1 calender day]
Forward Scheduling
PR is created to day [28/04/2010]
Suppose Purchase processing time = 0, GR Processing time = 0, Planned delivery time = 3 Days
Now What would be PR Delivery date proposed by system? by calculation it must be Saturday isn't it [28/04/2010 + 3 calender days]
Please Suggest

Hi,
Forward Scheduling
PR is created to day 28/04/2010
Suppose Purchase processing time = 0, GR Processing time = 0, Planned delivery time = 3 Days
+Now What would be PR Delivery date proposed by system? by calculation it must be Saturday isn't it 28/04/2010 + 3 calender days+
System will ensure that PR delivery date will always be a working day
In the above case the delivery date will be 03/05/2010- monday, since 28/04/2010 + 3 calender days will be a saturday and considering saturday is a holiday , the delivery date will be 03/05/2010- Monday.

Disable forward scheduling for a specific material

Hi experts.
We have a requirement to disable forward scheduling for a specific material during ATP check in sales order and delivery processing. I played with some configurations in "Basic functions > Availability check and transfer of requirements" and "Basic functions > Delivery scheduling and transportation scheduling", but none could help.
Notice: we use APO.
Example:
Material X - has 108 pieces in stock and a production order of 1000 pieces scheduled on Feb 11.
If I place a sales order of 109 pieces with requested delivery date of Feb 8, I need the system to not confirm this quantity, instead of confirming the quantity on Feb 13, as of standard behavior.
Regards,
Fábio Scaravelli

Unfortunately, I do not know much about APO. However, I had a quick look and saw the the function responsible for scheduling in APO is /SAPAPO/APO_SCHEDULING. Within this FM, there are two user exits called:
EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLVCRM_001
EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLVCRM_002
I am unsure if these can be utilised to achieve the desired behaviour. However, they may be worth investigating.

Showing non-MRP relevant Schedule Line category in MD04

We have a business requirement to show Quotations of non-MRP relevant schedule line category in MD04. We are at an initial stage of design. Is it possible to use any of the user-exits (during MD04 opening) that we can use to display such elements ? We were unable to find any workaround with the Select Filter option.

Hi,
You might need to use program: SDRQCR21 to delete those faulty SO which appear in MD04. You may go to tcode:SA38 to run the program.
You may refer to my printscreen below for better understanding if you wish to.
Thanks.

Trans duration not consider during Preq forward scheduling

Sales order is created with Make-to-order configurable material
Variant. During the planning process, the raw material is issued from
one facility to the facility specified on the sales order using STO
process.
During CTP process (backward & reverse strategy setting,), while doing
the backward scheduling, system considers the transport duration from
the transportation lane and calculates the correct requested date for
the raw material.
If there is no capacity available to make the raw material on the
requested date system is expected to carry out forward scheduling. The
system then updates the planned order that consumes raw material correctly.
While updating the Preq the system does not consider the transport
duration from the transportation lane. The availability date on PurRqs
and the requested date on the PReqRel is same.
Has anybody seen this issue?
Kedar

Guys,
We found that the transportation time is considered in forward scheduling of a PReq when we have a transportation resource. But it is not considered when we have GR/GI time in product master or in Tlane(only the GR).
Has anybody gone through this issue?
Kedar

Backward and forward scheduling

how do we differentiate the backward and forward scheduling in MM, PP and SD perspective ? please provide the information in elaboration manners .

Dear Chakri,
I had the same doubts of yours. There´s a lots of other threads about backward and forward scheduling as
Or you could searh in the SAP portal:

Back and forward scheduling

hi gurus,
Is there any control key that how the system moves from backward scheduling to forward scheduling
thanks
raju

Hi,
There is no control key for the system to do backward or forward scheduling.
these two are dependend on the material availability date and requested delivery date.
If the stock of the material is available , the system will do the backward schedule , if there is no stock the system will do the forward schedule.
the difference is the schedule line items in the sales order.
if one schedule line item then backward , if two schdedule line item in the sales order is two then forward scheduling
thanks

Dirrerence between backward scheduling and forward scheduling

hi Friends,
This is madhusudhan i need diff b/w backward scheduling and forward scheduling
plz do the needfull asap

Hi,
Backward scheduling is the calculation of deadline dates: the arrival time at the customer site is calculated as the earliest possible goods receipt time at the customers unloading point on the requested delivery date. All four of the delivery and transportation scheduling lead times are subtracted from the customers requested delivery date to determine if this date can be met.
The transit time, loading time, and pick/pack time are subtracted from the customers requested delivery date to calculate the required material availability date.
The system calculates backward scheduling as follows:
Requested delivery date minus transit time = Goods issue date
Goods issue date minus loading time = Loading date
Loading date minus transportation lead time = Transportation scheduling date
Loading date minus pick/pack time = Material availability date
Forward scheduling is also done if no product is available on the material availability date calculated by backward scheduling. The system does an availability check to determine the first possible date when product will be available. This new material availability date forms the starting point for scheduling the remaining activities. The loading time, pick/pack time, transit time, and transportation lead time are added to the new material availability date to calculate the confirmed delivery date.
Reward points if it helps

Process order - Forward scheduling

Hi,
I need a clarification on scheduling in process orders for below mentioned scenario:
SO is created for a future date
MRP run
Planned order is created (scheduling for planned order not done)
Planned order converted to Process Order
My query is how the dates of process order will differ in case of forward schduling.
whether start date of process order will be as per basic start date of planned order or the start date of process order will be current date?
regards,
Mohit

Dear Mohit
Converting a Planned Order into a Production Order
If material requirements planning has already created a planned order for producing the material, the basic dates are copied from the planned order and the order start and finish dates are determined in a new scheduling run. If necessary, reduction measures are carried out.
Creating a Production Order Manually
If no planned order exists and you create the production order manually, the scheduling type determines which basic dates you have to enter.
If you enter both basic dates, the system tries to adhere to these dates when carrying out forwards or backwards scheduling. If necessary, the system also carries out reduction measures.

Sachin

EBS R12 MRP Back Scheduling

Business has not been able to set up MRP for back scheduling logic. Business question - was If the fix LT is 5 days then my DJ will go back or forward 5 days.
So, why are my DJ’s not going back 5 days?
Advice given that is not always working was -
The issue is caused by the an incorrect routing setup. The assemblies routing resources are not scheduled and/or there was no "time" in the routing steps.
Change the routing resources to scheduled and ensure the correct rates are in place for all routing steps.
1. Navigation path: Bill of Materials > Standard Operations, using an existing operation for a job that exhibits the bad behavior with start & completion dates.
2. Select the appropriate operation and click on the Operation Resources button.
3. Click on the Scheduling tab and check the value for the Schedule field. If it is not already Yes, make it so.
Question to forum thread is if there is another MRP based configuration that must be set to automate back scheduling of planned orders.

Thanks Rod and thanks for your great integration to EBS document btw, it had help me allot getting my own SSO solution working.
I ended up doing this for the LOGOUT routine and it works:
l_url := fnd_profile.VALUE('APPS_JSP_AGENT') ||
'/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=OAHOMEPAGE';
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_util.redirect_url(l_url);
owa_util.http_header_close;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
For some reason I had to change it a bit, the OA_HTML worked, the servlet URL did not.
Could be that I am still testing in my R11 env, still have to move it back to R12.
I also found that this worked too, though I liked the OAHOMEPAGE more as its simpler. But included this for anyone else that may be interested.
l_url := apps.icx_portlet.createexeclink(p_application_id => 809
,p_responsibility_id => 56616
,p_security_group_id => 0
,p_function_id => 16524
,p_url_only => 'Y');
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_util.redirect_url(l_url);
owa_util.http_header_close;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;
In this example I hard-coded the IDs (as I was testing) but you can get them out of the session easily enough.
