MRP & PO confirmation process

We have material setup for MRP type VB. An initial purchase req was created when on hand stock fell below the minimum. The purchase req was converted to a PO and sent to the supplier. The supplier responded with an order confirmation with a different delivery date which fell outside the leadtime that is setup for the material. MRP noted the confirmation delivery date and created another purchase req for the same quantity and initial delivery date, which the supplier confirmed but with the delivery date outside the leadtime. This cycle of re-ordering continues until the supplier delivery date falls within the leadtime. How are we to stop MRP from re-ordering excess material in this scenario? We have contracts established with our suppliers for specific material and if they cannot deliver the material within the set time frame, we do not want MRP to continue to create purchase reqs. Is there a way to have MRP ignore the confirmation delivery date when it does its analysis?
Please advise.

Priyanka, do you have any more info on what type of fields/values I will be looking for. Would this be the KP value that you are referring to?
Prabu. We tried de-selecting the MRP relevant parameter, but the reqs/PO's do not show up on the stock requirements list. Our supply chain personnel need to know what activity is taking place on the material. Is there another field that would exclude the PO confirmation delivery date from being included in the MRP run?
Thanks for your quick responses.

Confirm process order problem

hi
I configure IMG settings under OPK1 for porcess order..I check "imediately proposal" for quantity/service..But when I use COR6N to confirm process order, the duration field is not proposed...Where should I configure in IMG?
btw,is there any T-code like COHV in discrete planning to mass confirm process orders?thanks..

Dear Monst,
Ensure whether have you made this setting for the standard profile in OPK1 under default tab page check whether for quantity
and services whether for the value is set as 1 - immediate proposal.
check with this and revert back.

Confirmation process in SRM does not work whenever there is a discrepancy

Hello,
we are on SRM 5.0 version with classic scenario(follow on documents in backed system - ECC 5.0). to procure maintainence service user cretes a shopping cart by selecting describe requirements method and UOM at times in incorrectly asssigned as EA so upon shopping cart approval a follow on ducument (purchase requistion) is created in ECC as per config set up(in SRM). Buyer while coverting this purchase requisition to PO rectifies this erroe and chages the UOM of meausre to Hr and send a PO to vendor.
we are not bale to use confirmation feature in SRM to perform receipt of this service. is this how system works? any configration or a BADI needs to be usd to allow to perform confirmation in SRM even tough there is discrepancy in shopping cart UOM and Purcahse requsition UOM.
when thre is change in UOM in ECC that Purchase
*Confirmation process in SRM does not work whenever there is a discrepancy (i.e. different UM )between Shoping cart and Purchase Requisition related to that Shoping cart.*
we donot use serive option in SRM and donnot MM service module in ECC.
any help on this will be much appreciated.

Account Determination - Delivery Order Confirmation Process

Hi Experts,
How the Account determination will happen in the Delivery Order Confirmation process. Is the any Account determination analysis tool available to check the same ?
Regards
Prasath

Hi prashanth
Revenue account determination is the place where SD- FI integration takes place
What ever we do in the revenue account determination (t.code VKOA)Generally for every condition type in our pricing procedure we assign account keys wheather it is freight , tax etc
Now in revenue account determination , to those account keys we assign G/L accounts.
Now when you do billing , some condition types will come in the billing document . and once you save the billing document those amounts will be flowing to the respective account key G/L accounts
to FI people
say for example if for MWST account key is MWS , in billing if this MWST condition type comes and once you save the billing document then the tax amount will be flowing to the MWS G/L account .and FI people will look into it
Once you save the billing document automatically a accounting document and controlling document gets generated
Now after Post Goods Issue , we save the delivery document here the SD - MM integration takes place
Once you do PGI , automatically the G/L accounts get updated and the valuation level comes down. So after doing PGI system generated material document and controlling document.

Hello,
How u distinguishing your employees who are confirmed and those who are in probation period ?
Once probation period is end (defined in assignment --> Probation tab) then either one of the following can be happen:
1. Employee got confirmed
2. Probation extended

Creation of Vendors by batch jobs: Bypass the 'confirmation' process

Hello,
Need your kind suggestions please. When we create a vendor master data it's a two step process. In the first place we create and save it. In the second step a different user needs to log in and confirm the same before the vendor gets active in the system.
Now, our client usually have to create a huge load of vendors on a regular basis. So they want to automate this process by creating the vendors using a background job. Since the vendors would be created by the batch job, security issues would automatically be taken care of.
Therefore they want to avoid the second step of 'confirming' the vendors to get them 'active' in the system.
Is it possible to bypass the 'confirm' procedure so that no one has to log in and keep confirming the huge number of vendors that would need to be created?
Please advice. if you need more information, please let me know and I would try to answer as far as my knowledge goes.
Regards,
Suvarghya

Hi,
Go to the following path,
IMG >> Financial Accounting >> Accounts Recievables and Accounts Payable >> Vendor Accounts >> Master Data >> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data >> Define sensitive Fields for Dual Controls (Vendors).
Click that activity, and delete all the fields that exists which makes it not necessary to confirm any of the vendors when they are created/made a change.
Good Luck,

Confirmed Process order but with mistake on quantity for material.

Dear All,
The case is , User make mistake on putting large volume into material quantity within process order, However, this process order has been released , confirmed and delivery (DLV) status.
Since this large vquantity material will make the Cost extra larger than normal.
Therefore, is there way to change material quantity and recalcuate the cost again?
Many thanks !
Marco

Dear all,
After commuicated with User again, user has been done as below.
Step1)
User has been cancel the process order confirmation by T-code: CORS,
Step2)
Revesed the extra amount Quantity to Block stock to prevent Sales Person touch this extra quantity.
However, I checked there is no different on Actual costs after the cancel the Process order confirmation.
I have some confusing now..
1) is that once Process order confirmation cancelled, is that there Must no Actual cost in Accounting view?
2) If there is part of physical product produced, but the Process order has been cancelled afterward. How the cost calcuated? is that include the cost or exclude the cost?
Many Thanks for your help!
Best Regards

SRM SUS - confirmations process

Hello,
I have 2 questions, hoping you can provide help:
Question 1 - when supplier confirms the purchase order in SUS, is it possible for the supplier to go back into the purchase order and re-confirm order for different delivery dates or quantities (e.g. put back into "in process"). Currently the supplier is only able to do the ASN as the next step
Question 2 - is it possible for the supplier todo confirmations for schedule agreement releases, e.g. like we do for purchase orders? Currently supplier has "new" and "in process" status, and there is no collaboration on delivery dates and quantities back to the SAP R/3 system
We are using SRM v7 and SAP R/3 4.6c (and SAP PI)
Thanks

Hi Azam
It won't be possible for suppliers to change the PO response that they have entered initially.
Normally the PO response would go to SRM for approval by the buyer. If the buyer doesn't accept the POR they may send back and then the suppliers can enter a new one.
However if it is approved by buyer or Auto-approved( as in our case), suppliers won't be able to change that.
I imagine that it would be a complex development to change this behavior

Co11n confirmation process

Dear All
Our client scenario is
5 different work centers ex mill01, mill02,.. mil05.(same process)
production order created for only on work center mill01.
while confirming the order in CO11n we have provision to change the
workcenter where actual prod happened, operator manually changing the
workcenter and doing confirmation. if he forgot to change the workcenter,
While press enter system automatically takes the prd order workcenter ex mill01.
and showing msg
"Actual or planned work center is adopted from operation/operation element."
client need control, that system should not take automatically the default
workcenter, it should ask for actual workcenter.
how han we do this in config. any possible way in OPK4 tcode?
please put light on this
regards
vinoth

Hi,
Your purpose cant be served with OPK4.First of all, you maintain 5 routings for comprising 5 different machines for same material.
Then You need to make following setting in OPL8 ( Order type dependent parameters) :
Select your Plant & order type , Under Planning tab maintain Routing selection as
7 Routing mandatory (manual selection)
By maintaining above setting, when creation of order ( either in CO01 or thr conversion of planned order) system will propose to choose alternate routing out of 5 routings you have made 5 different machines.You need to choose routing as per your requirement of mill.You can maintain mill name in routing description so that you can identify mill while choosing routing.
Due to above practice, your required machine will be copied in Production Order only so you need not change it manually while confirmation in CO11N / CO15.
Try above and revert in case any doubt.
Hope this helps.

MRP not considering Process orders

Hello Gurus,
My pl.ind.req is 100 and I run MRP , system creates planned order for 100. When I convert this process order, the available qty in MD04 is blank. Then When I run MRP again, its creating new planned order for 100. I am thinking its every basic setting somewhere. Please help
Atul

Hello,
I resolved the issue, immediately after I posted yesterday. The issue was that on the Goods receipt tab in process orders, "Goods Receipt, Non Valuated" was checked and "Goods Receipt" wasn't. Once I checked that everything was OK. Since the GR from process order was marked as Non-valuated, MRP was not considering it. I think this is a finance setting. Will take it up with the finance guys. Thanks

Sequential confirmation and restricting over confirmation - Process orders

Hi,
We have a process orders with phaes 20,40 and 60. Order qty = 100 pc
1. We would like to have sequenstial confirmations from 20->40->60.
2. When we confirmation phase 40 , quantity should not exceed the confirmed quantity of phase 20. ( Example , if 20 is confirmed for , say , 10 pc , then user trying to confirm 11pc in phase 40 , should result in an error )
3.When we enter confirmations in COR6N , we would like to have the previous confirmed quantity to appear as default and if user changes to a higer quantity than the previous confirmation quantity , it should give an error message.
( for example , here when user confirms phase 20 - order qty less previously confirmed qty = 100-10=90 pc should come as default ; for phase 40 , default confirmation qty should appear as 10 pc and user trying to change it to 11pc, shoudl result in an error)
In order confirmation parameters , we have chosen " error when operation sequences are not adhereed to ".
and in over delivery tolerance , we have chosen " wanring message"
How can we achieve this modifitcation?
Thanks and regards,
Manohar

HI,
In the confirmation parameters OPK4(Customizing for Shop Floor Control, choose Operations -Confirmation -Define Confirmation Parameters) you set the Propose indicator in the quantities area, to stipulate that quantities should be proposed when confirmations are entered under "Operation Individual entry using Indv. scren" tab Page. and test
If this is not working out
Check
Control key for operations (in Customizing for Shop Floor Control by choosing Master Data -Routing Data - Define Control Key), you stipulate whether an operation can or must be confirmed (Confirmations key).
Checking the Quantity to be Confirmed (Confirmations key).
If the operation sequence is checked for confirmations, then the following quantity check takes place: If you want to enter a confirmation in which the sum of the yield, rework quantity and scrap is larger than the yield of the predecessor, then the system issues an appropriate message (for example, an error message). The predecessor is determined exactly as described in the graphic.
Irrespective of whether the operation sequence is adhered to, the quantity is checked against the quantity of the predecessor operation (= expected quantity) and a message is issued (the category is set in Customizing). The following cases can occur:
The confirmed quantity is larger than the expected quantity.
You are entering a final confirmation and the confirmed quantity is smaller than the expected quantity.
The message category determines your next entry option:
After acknowledging a warning, you can continue entering.
In the case of an error message, the system terminates the input dialog.

MRP AREA CONFIG & PROCESS

1) Complete step by step process in terms of config. & front end in SAP.
2) How to activae it for Plant, Storage location & vendor.
3) Difference between above three & where they are exactly used.
The person who helps will be awarded points = 10.Sure.
Regards

Hi,
Pls. find the following details regarding MRP Area :
MRP Area
Definition
The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material requirements planning is carried out independently.
Basically, there are three types of MRP area:
Plant MRP Area
The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together with all its storage locations and stock with subcontractors.
When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for subcontractors and you have assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this number of subcontractors and storage locations. This is because they are now to be planned separately.
MRP Areas for Storage Locations
You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage location, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements for this storage location are then planned separately from the rest of the plant.
You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage locations to it. These storage locations are then planned together.
A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.
MRP Areas for Subcontractors
You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.
A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area. An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one subcontractor.
Use
You can carry out MRP specifically for the determined MRP areas. This enables you to carry out differentiated material requirements planning. The requester can be, for example, the production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
The MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important parts produced in-house and purchased parts for each shop floor area. You can, however, also plan the provision of components for the individual subcontractors.
MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only suitable for:
components that are planned and produced for stock
finished products that are planned and produced for stock. By assigning a storage location in a sales order or by entering an MRP area when creating the planned independent requirements, you can define whether a material is planned in the plant MRP area or in the MRP area of the storage location.
Finished products and important assemblies intended for make-to-order or engineer-to-order production are always planned in the plant MRP area.
The planning run takes into account the planning with MRP areas as follows:
If you do not enter a separate scope of planning, the system plans the whole plant, that is, all MRP areas in the plant, during the total planning run. If you want to carry out a total planning run for a particular MRP area only, you must specify the required MRP area in the scope of planning.
During single-item, multi-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered. In addition, the system takes into account planning file entries from other MRP areas, for example, if the material is to be procured using stock transfer.
During single-item, single-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered only.
Structure
You define the MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. You can thereby assign the following to an MRP area:
one or more storage locations (example: you want to carry out planning for a particular assembly line and therefore assign a production storage location to the MRP area)
a subcontractor.
You assign the various MRP areas to the materials in the material master. For this, you create an MRP area segment for a material for every MRP area, in which it is used. In this MRP area segment, you can define MRP parameters such as, for example, the lot size or MRP type. This allows you to plan the material differently in the MRP area from how you plan it in the plant MRP area.
MRP with MRP areas for the material is not activated until the material has been assigned to an MRP area. If you have not assigned a material to an MRP area, that is, you have not created an MRP area segment in the material master, the material will continue to be planned in the plant MRP area only. If you have assigned an MRP area to it, the system can plan it in the plant MRP area and in the assigned MRP area.
Integration
You can carry out material requirements planning for MRP areas using all MRP procedures and all lot-sizing procedures.
You can also carry out an independent material forecast for MRP areas using your own parameters.
The material consumption values are updated separately for each MRP area.
A separate ATP check is carried out for each MRP area.
If several storage locations belong to an MRP area, the system can also carry out a check at two levels, that is, at storage location level and at MRP area level.
Example: Subcontractor
You can also carry out planning for components to be provided in subcontracting using an MRP area by defining an MRP area for every subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided to the MRP area of the subcontractor. You therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from all other requirements (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
Depending on the requirements situation, the system creates either stock transfer reservations from the plant to the stock of material provided of the subcontractor or it creates purchase requisitions within subcontracting/third-party order processing, according to the special procurement key settings.
Implementing MRP Areas
Implementation Options
The main reason for you to implement MRP areas is if you would like to plan materials, which are required in different shop floor areas, storage locations or by subcontractors, separately from one another.
As soon as you have activated materials requirements planning with MRP areas, this type of MRP is active at client level, that is, MRP will be carried out in this way in all plants.
Material requirements planning with MRP areas cannot be reversed.
Process Flow
You can implement material requirements planning with MRP areas in three steps:
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
During the conversion, the system creates a plant MRP area for every plant as a background job. This, however, will not affect your planning. The processes in material requirements planning and the planning results remain unaffected.
The conversion is also useful even if you do not work with MRP areas, but still have to plan for several plants, as the new planning file improves system performance during the planning run.
You activate MRP with MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. This causes the MRP area field to appear in the applications of MRP and in related areas. When you enter the plant number, the system automatically fills the field with the number of the plant MRP area. The number of the plant MRP area is the same as the plant number.
This does not affect the planning run as the plant MRP area still corresponds to the present plant.
You define an MRP area, for example, for a storage location. You then assign the materials that are to be planned for this storage location, by creating an MRP area segment in the material master.
Materials requirement planning for this storage location is then carried out separately. The storage location stock is no longer included in the available stock of the plant MRP area. The receipt and issue elements of this storage location (MRP area) are also not taken into account in the plant MRP area. They are only taken into account in the MRP area of the storage location.
If you have already worked with storage location MRP the system still carries out storage location MRP even after the activation of MRP areas. You need to decide in principle whether you want to continue using storage location MRP or whether you want to create MRP areas for the storage locations that are planned separately. It is not possible to simultaneously plan a material using storage location MRP and an MRP area for the same storage location.
If you decide to use MRP areas, you should then try to convert all storage locations that are planned separately to MRP areas in one step. Before you assign the material to an MRP area, you must remove the MRP indicator, which is located in the material master at the storage location organizational level (view MRP 4) in the screen area Storage location MRP.
Even if you have defined MRP areas in Customizing, the system plans the materials in the plant MRP area until you assign the MRP areas to the materials.
Only the assignment of one or more MRP areas to a material, by creating MRP area segments in the material master, actually cause changes in the material requirements planning.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tejas

Confirming Process "Locks Up"

I'm restoring a project to Premiere Pro CS3.
As the confirming audio process is running, one of the clips in my project (a 4 second SD AVI clip) has stopped the process - the blue bar at the bottom isn't even moving.
Is there any way to skip the conforming of this audio clip?
FOO

FYI - As a quick workaround I have unlinked this clip - the rest of the clips audio are conforming. I still need to figure out why this one wasn't working correctly...
