MRP, MTS, MPS and MTO in DP

Hai,
Where do we use MRP, MTS, MPS and MTO in DP? Can somebody refer me to any documentation?
Thank you.

Hi Visu,
I never imagined your question came related to a DP job requirement. While technically these are not relevant for DP, but as a DP consultant you need to be aware of the concepts which are definitely more relevant on the supply side (SNP, PPDS).
"Character Based Forecasting (CBF) deals with variant configuration or nothing but MTO scenario right?" - you can argue that CBF is a functionality for MTO scenario especially when dealing with large variety of similar products.
"Also DP-BOM works with dependent requirements generated from BOM." - DP-BOM or Forecasting with BOM is a special functionality in DP to manage demand for a product which has both independent as well as dependent requirements. Please note it is not for generating dependent requirements only. Classic example - a speaker set that can be sold separately or as part of a packaged audio system. But then this is NOT MRP because we are talking about generating the demand only.
MRP is to generate net requirements for "components" after exploding the BOM for "finished item" and netting against stock to create relevant receipt elements (Purchase Req or Planned Orders).

MRP query related to MTO and MTS

Dear Gurus,
I have got 2 Plants.......Plant A(Manufacturing Plant) and Plant B (Selling Plant)
My scenario is Make to Order, where the sales order is getting created in Plant B(selling Plant) for Export Material
1)when I run the MRP for Export material by MD50 ......Planned order should be created in Plant A and it should show in MD04 screen then only I can convert that planned order into production order.
2) After confirmation of that order and after GR.....stock should go to Plant B so that SD person will deliver that stock to the respected customer.
3)when I run the MRP by MD50, in the material BOM.....if any shortage of RAW MATERIAL OR PACKING MATERIAL then collective PR should be created in Plant B(selling plant).
what setting we should maintain in Meterial master related to PP for all raw/packing/semifinish/finish materials in both the plants related to MTS and MTO?
Could you provide me solution for the above queries.
Max

Dear
This can be achieved by using special procurement type (80 production in another plant) in all production master data (material master for inhouse production, BOM, Routing and production version) will be made in plant B and in plant A same material will have material master for MRP i.e. MRP group, MRP type MRP controller Procurement type special procurement (80) in MRP2 production storage location, planning strategy etc.
you can see in MD04 for plant B delivery plant will be A. and in MD04 for plant A planning plant B.
production order will be confirmed in plant A and GR will be done in Plant B.
and purchase requisitions for component will be raised from plant A. if all components are required to be procured in plant B, all component will have also special procurement either 40 Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant)
or 70 Withdrawal from alternative plant.
I hope this will solve your issue. Kindly let me know if your issue will solved or not.
Thanks

Is there any constrain in using the same order type for MTS and MTO

Hi,
i have the constrain to use single production order type .
Can i use single order type for MTO and MTS.
is there any constrain in using the same order type for MTS and MTO.
pls help me.

Hi,
There is no constraint or limitation in using the same production order type for MTS and MTO . Settings in requirement class and material master will mainly control whether the flow is MTS or MTO.

INPUT FOR MPS AND MRP

Dear gurus,
I want to run MPS ande MRP at plant level ,
1)so If i want to use MD40 T.C for MPS what are all other inputs I should give as I am running for the first time at plant level.
2) In the same way for running MRP at plant level for the first time what are all the input i should give in T.C = MD01
waiting for your speedy reply

sekar chand

Hai gurus ,,
Thanks for your reply
I need theMRP control parameter for MRP and MPS or confirm whetther the following is correct for running at plant
level for first time.
T.C = MD40( MPS at plant level first time)
MRP control parameters.
1) Proceesing key = NEUPL
2) Create Purchase Req= 1
3) Schedule lines = 3
4) Create MRP list = 1
5) planning mode = 1
6) Scheduling = 1
In the same way for TC = MD01 ( MRP at plant level for first time)
MRP control parameters.
1) Proceesing key = NEUPL
2) Create Purchase Req= 1
3) Schedule lines = 3
4) Create MRP list = 1
5) planning mode = 1
6) Scheduling = 1

MPS and MRP question

Hi all,
There are two kinds of planning run (i.e. MPS and MRP). I have few questions on this.
1 - Do I need to setup two background jobs, one for MPS job, and another follow by MRP job, in the system?
2 - Can I just run MPS using MD40 (total MPS run) without perform MRP run (i.e. using any of the MD02)?
3 - Does MPS ONLY plan one level only? in another word, all the second level onward will require another separate MRP run to show all the subsequent level dependent requirement?
4 - if there is one FG, and it has 2nd level of semi-FG bom compenent, the semi-FG has another level of semi-FG and subseuqently Raw material level. In this kind of scenario with many level, it is good practise and it SHOULD use MPS to first plan for the first level FG? and later subsquent level use MRP to plan? Am I correct?
thanks.

Hi,
No,
You can MD40 and then MD02
Usually Only those materials which affect companies profit will be taken for MPS, hence few materials will be available for A importance, so you run level by level for MPS, rest will run under MD02, it depends on the business process.
When running MRP using transaction MD02 and MD41, what the difference should be?
There is no difference in the processing logic as such. The only difference is that MPS only acts on materials with an MRP type relevant to MPS (e.g. M0, M1, etc...), and MRP acts on materials with an MRP type relevant to MRP (e.g. PD). How the materials are processed is exactly the same.
This functionality allows you to run MRP for 2 sets of materials separately (and with a different frequency).
For example, some businesses may do planning for their finished goods once per week, but would want to run MRP for their
components daily (although this is generally not necessary with SAP). So, for this example, you would define all finished goods with an MRP type relevant for MPS, and all components with an MRP relevant.
Basically, MPS is a form of MRP that concentrates planning on parts or products that greatly influence the company profits or those that require critical resources. Items marked as master schedule items can be finished goods, assemblies or raw materials. These items are selected for separate MPS run that takes place before the MRP planning run. MPS run is executed without any BOM explosion. This is to allow the MRP controller to ensure that the master schedule items are correctly planned before any detailed MRP run take place.
As you can see, there are not too differences if you review MRP and MPS isolated, but lets think the BIG PICTURE, and can find the difference is just an procedure stuff:
1: RUN MPS (tcode: MD40). SAP do the planning run multilevel, also considering the MRP materials.
2: Do the the necesary MANUAL changes in your MPS materials Planned Orders, remember that the planning run is "JUST AN ADVICE" and never can replace the human decision. Here, you have your MPS Plan, and also the consumtion Plan (dependant requirements)
3: Then, with the dependant requirements OK (acording to MPS's Materials Planned Orders), do MRP RUN (tcode: MD01). The MRP run dont change the MPS plan.
The idea of MPS and MRP is to "separate" materials, in order you can run "masive process" in order. The algorith of mps and mrp are the same. Both work with the PlanTime Fences and Fixation types, rescheduling is the same, and so on.

MPS and MRP

Hi experts,
Is there any difference between planning done using (a) MD41 (for a material of MRP type M0)
and
(b) planning done using MD02 for the same material with MRP type PD?
If I am going to do a MPS for a material of MRP type M0 using MD41, it doesn't make any difference whether I do a separate MRP (say MD02) for its components which are of MRP type PD, am I right?
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Sethuraman,
This will be relevant for firming. Yes.You are correct regarding the firming part. But there is a difference between MRP and MPS. These are applicable for MD41 and MD02.

MRP in Background for MTOs

Hi All,
I have two types of strategy groups MTO and MTS. But i need the background JOB for MTOs only. I have done the settings in MDBT (Variant) and SM36 (Setting up of Background Job). But the system is running the background job for MTS and MTO also.
I only need the background job for MTOs only not for MTS materials. As i have checked bu8t unable to find a link to set the background job only for MTOs.
How can I do this?
Please advice me for the same.

Suresh,
You can activate user exit for MRP run. Once the user exit is activated you need to define the user exit key in SPRO as what that key is(In this case Planning strategy), and in the user exit you can ask the ABAP person to select materials based on the user exit key which should be MARC-(strategy group-field name).
Now you can create a variant with user exit key and value "20"- for MTO. with this the MRP would be run for only materials which have planning strategy 20.

Prasobh

MPS and LTP planning

Good day to you all,
What is the MPS planning in R/3, can someone give me a brief couple of lines?
I know it very well in APO but have had a look at the navigation of MPS in R/3.
What does it do, what are the Pro's and Con's and could I use MPS with LTP?

Guy!
in MPS you will plan only the header items in and no further planning for the below levels. the idea is to create a firm plan for the header item first firm it so that no change for the firmed plan within the "Planning time fence". so you will have a definite plan for the period "PTF" so you can plan down the level using normal MRP and release the PO or schedule lines which leads to stable planning and smooth flow. if you are not fixing the plan for the higher level material then frequent change as per incoming salse orders will create unstable planning!
So MPS is used for critical assemblies with Planning time fence and fixing types
LTP is used for simulating the planning for various scenarioes with different planning versions and analysing the profitability, capacity requirement etc. and also after arriving the favourable version you can transfer to active version then you can go for either MRP or MPS.
MPS is active planning whereas LTP planning is simulation.
also in MPS you can use interactive planning and you can change the planning conditions and until it is saved it will be in system memory
hope this helps

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Canon HF20: backup the MTS files (and later convert), or import in AIC?

Camcorder: Canon HF20. FCE 4.01.
I have filmed some clips with the 7 mbps setting. The file size of the mts files is fairly small, but when importing it to FCE (or iMovie) the filesize is increased 10 times (to about 60 mbps) I found the answer in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10900327&#10900327 ,
I want to save all my video clips to my external drive, and I am tempted to just copy the mts files to a folder, and then later convert them when I want to edit the footage. Would this be possible, or do I have to import them in FCE now?
Is it possible to copy the mts files back to the camcorder at a later time (the entire file structure - the folder is called BDMV) and then import it in FCE?

Yeah, make sure you copy the entire folder structure from the highest level and DONT delete ANY files (like I did!)
I spent the entire night last night and the last week trying to get compatibility of .MTS files shot on a Canon HFS11 into FCE 4 (FCE 4.0.1 to be exact).
I shot 3 months worth of footage on the HFS11 and would daily dump the AVCHD folders into date folders (ie 060110, 070110, etc etc) on an external HDD.
Since I had all the .MTS files off the camera I didnt know if I could use Log and Transfer to bring them into FCE but it is possible. Like other forums many people suggested you had to have the folders exactly like they were on the camera. This is true, unless of course you have deleted some files or if any become corrupt then the structure isnt exactly the same. For me I had deleted any junk files using a fast .MTS viewer (called a windows 7 machine!) without realising it was going to affect the 'import' process in FCE.
SOLUTION
I found that the files in the CLIPINF folder (.CLI files) were matched to the .MTS files in the STREAM folder. So if you delete any .MTS files I guess Log and Transfer reads the INDEX.BDM file or the .CLI files and says hang on, something is different. So I went through my .CLI files and found the names missing from the .MTS files and duplicated a colour bar clip I made and renamed it to the missing files. Viola, and FCE 4 could 'import' them.

Import MTS files and burn AVCHD files to DVD on PRE13

Hi am used to PRE 10 and want to know if on PRE 13 I can import MTS files into it, and burn AVCHD just as I am used to. The spec does not mention MTS files and implies burning to Blu ray.

I mean burning to DVD disc

MTS files (and really, they're just MTS, not the entire folder structure)..

OK, I see lotsa advice about dealing with MTS files...if they're in their proper folder structure.
Well, that'd be easy, and I'd be importing them now if they were in their proper folder structure. But they're not...I have 503 .mts files, in a folder, that a client copied "for me", and now expects me to import.
Any advice? Like I said, I only have the .mts files, not the supporting folder structure.

Greetings all from Jakarta - i have a feeling this is going to be a lengthy response and will only be of interest for those currently suffering from MTS file issues, but I do believe (while my solutions are not perfect) I have found some answers. What I have not found, unfortunately, are the hairs that I pulled out of my armpits in frustration over these MTS issues.
Background info: My office purchased the Panasonic HDC-TM700 to provide back-up to our Panasonic 170EN and we have been quite happy with the results. We have also been converting the MTS files to .MOV files on both Toast Titanium, and Final Cut Pro.
SITUATION #1
After a day of shooting I downloaded the TM700 files (full structure) to the hard disk. On day two after a full day of shooting I realized I forgot to format the camera's memory card so i had 50 MTS files that I already downloaded. Ever the smart guy, I highlighted file #51-#102 and dragged them into the STREAM file of the previous day's download. Then I formated the camera so i wouldnt forget the next day.
Well during log and transfer in FCP ONLY THE FIRST 50 FILES could be read, because that is what the metadata in the info supported ..... FCP couldnt even locate the other 50 files. I nearly fainted at the thought of getting fired. Thank goodness, when we dragged the MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM they could be read and converted!
SITUATION #2
The new guy (seriously, it was the new guy!) ONLY DOWNLOADED THE MTS files and since I wasn't there I wasn't there to see the havoc when neither FCP or TOAST could open the files. I was called in and my first idea was to take an old file structure, copy it, and slip the MTS files into the STREAM folder.
Well, it worked!! kind of.... The interesting thing is that the files could be converted in TOAST (FCP would not open the files) BUT ONLY TO THE TIME CODE THAT was equivalent to the original file. So if the original file was 1 minute and the file that I only had the MTS file for (and which corresponded to the file's number) was 5 minutes, only 1 minute was converted.)
So what I did was I took the TM700 and I shot five minutes of my foot. Then I downloaded the full file structure. Since I only took one shot of five minutes there was only one file in the STREAM folder, which was a 598mb file numbered 00000.MTS
I know I will regret it one day but i deleted the MTS file of my foot. Then I placed in one of the "homeless" MTS files into the (now empty) STREAM folder and changed the name to 0000.MTS -
When opened in FCP log and transfer - IT DID NOT WORK. However, in TOAST I am happy to say IT WORKED, yayyyy. And the file that was converted was the length of the clip. What I thought might happen is that if the clip was only 30 seconds long but the foster file was 5 minutes then there would be 30 seconds of footage and 4.5 minutes of black empty space on video. That wasn't the case.
THE SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
Over the years I have been very very very lucky with all the help I have gotten over the internet and in my own small way I hope the following helps out others. So here is what I have done, with instructions.
PLEASE NOTE I AM INDONESIAN LIVING IN INDONESIA SO WE USE PAL ..... 25 frames per second. .... Hopefully if someone in North America likes this idea and can help out, they will post a NTSC file structure.
OKAY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Double click this link and download the file structure. The the file structure is only 68kb all your (and mine) frustrations for 68,000 bytes!!
www.klirkom.com/helpout/AVCHD
2. If you look inside the folder (AVCD->BDMV->STREAM) you will see AN EMPTY STREAM FOLDER. This is where you will place your "lost/not working" MTS files. Sorry, but this file structure only supports two files at a time. The first file is 5 minutes long, the second file is 33 minutes long (i was going to make it 10 minutes but I forgot about the camera being on and left it for 33 minutes ...)
3. Change your first file name (preferably an MTS file less than 600mb so that the 'foster' file can cover it) to 00000.MTS. Now change your second file (preferably less than 4GB, but unless you are filming the whole wedding this should be okay for most people.... the important thing to remember is that if you want your full file converted without missing any parts at the end, the files should be smaller in size than the foster files) to the name 00001.MTS
4. Now drag your newly named and newly placed MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM. Click convert. I have not tried this with other software but hopefully it works for you.
5. If you want you can now rename your original MTS files to their original names and continue with the next two files. I know with 500 MTS files this is a HUGE pain in the buttox .....
Okay, good luck all!!
