MRP - project (special) stock

Hi guys,
I have 3 questions.
1. In our storage location we are using project (special) stock. When I create reservation MRP creates PR. I post GR and than material is on the project stock. However during the next planning run MRP creates PR for the same reservation. Why MRP doesn't take into account project stock? Is it possible to change it?
2. MRP creates PRs with the delivery thate of the 1st day of the open period. Always 1 PR per material per week. How can I force MRP to create 1 PR per week for all of the materials from the same deliverer?
3. Is it possible to create PRs with the delivery date situated 4 workdays before the opening period.
BIG points are waiting:)

Piotrek

Hi,
are you using a grouping WBS element for your project stock? That makes sense if you want to have only "one" stock for the whole project and not one for every WBS element.

Project Special stock indicator PROJ-KZBWS

Hi,
I created a project with TCODE CJ20N.
The project's valuation indicator(KZBWS) is assuming "M" and this field was not visible at moment of creation,
Is there any config to define "A" ?

Hello Riten,
You can control this in your Item Cat (use VOV7) in Special Stock in Business Data section.
Hope it can assist you.

MRP relevance of special stocks

Hi Experts,
I am working with project systems using Q stock. When I move Q stock into a none MRP relevant storage location the stock is still used and netted in the MRP calculation. The storage location is set to none relevant in OMIR, and also in the materials MRP4, I noticed the same behavior with E stock. Is it simply that the special stock indicator is considered prior to the storage location, or is it something I can control. The reason I don't want to drop the stocks into unrestricted is because we use generic materials in project stock and for E stock we are heavy VC users and the materials mean nothing once their link to the project/sales order is lost. I want to be able to keep the link to the project/sales order while quality decisions made but to start the replanning process, specifically with lower level requirements

Jez

Hello Jez
This is the standard behavior.
Both project stock and storage location planned separately or excluded from MRP are special stock segments and a planning element can only belong to one specific special stock segment.
Therefore, it is not possible to have a storage location planned separately on a project stock.
The workaround here is to use an MRP area. Generally, individual stocks are only possible on the plant MRP area, however, you can use the business function OPS_PS_CI_1 in the project system to achieve a work breakdown structure (WBS) account assignment on MRP area level.

Sub Con Process For Special Stock Material

Dear Experts ,
Can somebody please tell me , what is the procedure for sending the special stock(project) material for sub contracting .
Thanks in advance

Hi Avid,
Materials assigned to sales order or project (that are located in sales order or in project special stock segment) are not "transported" in SAP to the subcontractor.
Please check SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4d/2b90b043ad11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Subcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.

Exclude special stock (project) from MRP run

Hi,
Would need to exclude special stocks representing project stocks from MRP calculation. Could not seem to find a way to control this via config similar to options available for blocked and in-transit stocks. Is there an option to do this in config? Thanks...

Hi,
You can exclude the stock by creating storage location MRP.
Create separate str location for project stock by MMSC.
In the material master of mrp 4 view, str location indicator - select Exclude str loc from mrp for new ie, project str loc.
Check your Plant & str location by checking Plant/ data view in material master whether you have excluded the correct str location which you have newly created.
When mrp run system exclude this str location.

ME2O report with special stock assignment (project stock)

Dear Guru's
Im tring to use ME2O report to monitor the stocks of subcontracting. In my business we have special stocks (project stocks).
When I run the report it does not give the subcontracted stocks with project assignment.
Am I doing something wrong or is there any otherway to achive this. I want to monitor the subcontractor stocks (with special stock assignment of project)
Thanks in advance
Rupesh

can you explain this scenario a bit more
subcontracting stock is stock type O, project stock is stock type Q
I dont think one stock can have 2 stock types
And ME2O is monitoring stock type O, not Q.

Special stock for an STO and MRP segment

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein I need to differentiate between stocks for two diff. STO's in manufacturing plant coming in from 2 diff. plants. The demand at the recieving plant is through reorder point which then drives creation of an STO. I cannot use a MTO strategy as its on ROP. This material is on a MTO strategy at supplying plant while its on ROP (make to stock) at recieving plant.
Is there any way I could create a separate MRP segment or special stock for each STO at supplying plant?
Each STO has diff. label info hence we need to differentaiate stocks between STO's.

If you want to differentiate a stock .only way is to monitor is maintain 2 material code.

How to consider unrestricted stock for the run of MRP project?

Hi every one!
We are facing a problem using MRP on project stock.
We would like that the MRP takes unrestricted stock into consideration while calculating quantities to order for project stock.
For example, a project request 100 pieces of material X.
We have already 25 pieces of material X in unrestricted stock and 0 in project stock.
When I run MRP (MD51), it creates a Purchase Requisition of 100 pieces on the WBS element I have defined and not 75 as expected!!!
By searching in documents and forums, I have read I have to set the value "2 - Collective requirements only" into the field MRP4 > BOM explosion/dependent requirements > Individual/coll. of the Material Master.
I have done it but it doesn't change anything.
Thanks in advance for your support!!!
Bogdan

Hello guys!
As told, here I come with news about my problem.
Finally, the Strategy Group didn't solve our problem.
We didn't solve our problem as planned but we have found another way to work.
Instead of including the unrestricted stock in the MRP project, we use transaction CO46 to have an overview of the unrestricted stock of all the components of the project's BOM.
Based on that overview, the user can make stock transfers of the available quantities from the unrestricted stock to the project stock.
I hope it can help people having the same problem!

Special Stock - Q (Project)

Hi guys,
Can someone be kind enough to explain to me the Purpose of having Special Stock Q?
I have some additional questions..
1) Is it related to P and Q Account Assignment Category?
2) How do we perform Goods Receipt? Must we assign GL? Cost Centre?
3) How do we perform Goods Issue? What must we include in the Account Assignment? GL? Cost Centre?

MRP - MD04 and special stocks - how to manipulate exclusion in Avail.Stock

Hello,
I have the following question about the Avalable stock which appears in the MD04 trx. for a material in a Plant.
This Stock Available normally includes stock "Unrestricted Use" and one can customize the inclusion of Blocked Stock, Restricted use Stock, and "Stock in transfer" in this Stock Available.
My question is related to the other types of stock which appear in the MD04 as included in the Available Stock (Quality control, returns, Consignment, Valuated Stock at Vendor,etc.)
Where can I manipulate theis inclusion or exclusion of these types of stock in the "Stock Available" in the MD04? Is this Config or do I have to activate a user exit?
The stock Type "Material Packing - Lending" also can be excluded from the Available Stock in the MD04?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Thanks for the replies,
Maybe I did not state my question well:
My Client uses "Stock in Consignment" and "Stock of Packaging in Lending" (both in Unrestricted use) in a Plant.
He does not want these stock types to play a part in MRP as available stock. In the MD04 trx. SAP estandard seems to include always in its Availbale stock these kinfd of stocks. Is there a way I can exclude them?
Thanks for any replies,
Aart

CO07 and special stock indicator for components

Hello,
My final purpose is to be able to call components from project stock in production orders without header material, created in CO07.
I notice a strange behavior and would be glad to recieve some explanations.
Production orders are assigned to a WBS. If I indicate the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, the special stock indicator for the components is determined as expected:
If view MRP 4 for the component says "Individual requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Project stock"
If view MRP 4 for the component says "Collective requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Common stock"
Second scenario is that I don't provide the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, but provide it in the assignment tab later. In this case, the special stock indicator for components will always be empty (common stock) by default, without any possibility to modify this manually.
Is anybody able to explain me why?
Merry Christmas to all.

Hi!
Actually it is not related to SAP Manufacuting Execution solution - so you'd rather re-post the question to ERP-related forum. This can help you find a proper one.

Confuesed about Project resources : Stock / PR / PO

Hi guys,
I use IDES to run an demo project, set collect WBS , and assign material A to 2 options:
option 1 needs A   5 pcs
option 2 needs AB   10 pcs
After running MRP, I have 2 PRs for the material A and both belongs to the same WBS Code .
PR1 , A 5pcs, special stock flag Q, WBS code: P-1
PR2, A 10pcs, special stock flag Q, WBS code: P-1
And then I convert PRs to POs,
PO1 , A 5pcs, special stock flag Q, WBS code: P-1
PO2, A 10pcs, special stock flag Q, WBS code: P-1 .
Now, I change the qty in the WBS to
option 1 needs A   10 pcs
option 2 needs B   5 pcs
Run MRP again, I have a new PR
PR3 , A 5pcs, special stock flag Q, WBS code: P-1 .
That confused me, if the special stock flag links with WBS code P-1 , why the resources can't share ? I mean the total qty of A for P-1 is 15, its enough. I test again after GR to stock , still generate PR3.
And then I found the material docs of GR shows the resources (stock) belong to WBS and NETWORK .
How to configure to share the resources under the same WBS code (special stock) ? I dont want another PR3 .Thanks all !
Wayne

Sorry, made some copy mistake .
The Question should be :

Special Stock Indicator

Hi. We are trying to come up with a way to not allow picking for material in a WM location that will still allow the netting of the inventory. Because of the complication of an electronic conveyor system, etc, the business does not want to create a new storage location or storage type.
Is there any special stock indicator that will do this? Any other suggestiong ???
Thank you in advance !!
Dianne

I want to be able to net the inventory. I want it included in MRP. And I want to store it in the existing bins and storage types. I just do not want it to be pickable.

Special Stock Indicator (SOBZK) and Inventory Extractors

I have activated business Business Content for the Inventory Management (0IC_C03) cube with Grouping as In DataFlow Before and Afterwards. However, the special stock indicator field which is part of the extractor and not hidden does not come across into the Transfer Structure, is there a reason and how can I resolve? Thanks
I have gone to the DataSource/Trans Struc tab, have seen in the Data Source and am able to transfer across

Hi
In the Standard Sytem these are the special Stock Indicators
E     Orders on hand
K     Consignment (vendor)
M     Ret.trans.pkg vendor
O     Parts prov. vendor
P     Pipeline material
Q     Project stock
V     Ret. pkg w. customer
W     Consignment (cust.)
Y     Shipping unit (whse)
I have not found B - Special Stock indicator.
You can use Accotunt assignment Category D - with Special Stock Indicator E to get the Material into Stock Under Sales Order Stock..
Item Category S - Third Party is used only in case of Third Party Process & athe Account assignment Category Picked is X - All aux.acct.assgts.
