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

  • Component material to be used for both MTO and MTS scenario

    Hello All,
    What is the setting required at IMG or at Master data level, in order to use the component for both MTO and MTS scenario.
    Detail description of problem:
    In the system already MTS process is exist. And now business wants MTO scenario, in order to have sales order specific stock.
    So i have made the necessary configuration in requirement class (special stock - E in account assignment field) and the basic requirement is working fine. Meaning when i create prodcution order manually using transaction CO08 with reference to sales order i am able to create it. And no problem in executing GR for the prodcution order. Also noticed that after GR the stock is under the salesorder created.
    But the problem is when i try to do the goods issue for the component to the prodcution order, system is expecting sales order specific stock for components too.
    But business wants to use components from unrestricted stock as of Make to stock scenario.
    Please guide me how to achieve this? This is critical to business so expecing quick recommendations from experts.
    Best Regards,
    Krish

    HI
    For  your component if you dont set indi/collective requirement indicator as 2 collective reqmt MRP 4 view then only system will not allow you to use r special stock E  for sales order
    if you want to make all stock avaliable and PR and PO not sales order wise then maintain above indicator as 2 in MRP4 view.

    Make-to-order processing takes place when inventory is not generally stoked but instead the firm wants until an order hass been placed and then produces just what has been ordered.
    Ex: In this case, a deluxe motorcycle gas tank that must be produced form an unpainted tank, paint and gas cap. These are two processes that must be completed in the production -
    paint the tank and when tank is dry, attach the gas cap.
    The BOM are needed to create a given product. The routing information gives what processes need to be carried out in what order and even how long each process should take. All this information together can be used to determine what the total cost of the product and determining the profitability of the product.
    A—Creation of materials:---
    T code: MM01
    Ex; 1400-7—1xx
    Enter material, ind. Sector and material type.
    Select the org. levels plant, stor. Location, sales org, DC, Warehoused no, storage type.
    Repeat the same process for all components.
    B—Creation of BOM:--
    T code: CS01
    C—Set up routing:--
    T code: CA02
    D—pricing conditions:--
    T code: VK11
    E—purchasing materials:--
    Create a purchasing order req. for components from vendor.
    Create PO: ME21
    F—Receiving materials:--
    GR:- MIGO
    Go through MMBE then u will get stock available or not.
    Process:
    1. creating a sales order for product not kept in the inventory. This will atomically generated the relevant production order.
    2. we assume production is done ahead of \schedule. After production is completed you will confirm production order as fully completed .
    3. Newly determine the availability of sales order.
    4. shipment
    5. TO for delivery
    6. Billing

  • Demand Capturing on the basis of MTO and MTS

    Dear Sir,
    I am new in SAP PP so i require help on following points
    How demand is captured in SAP and under what transaction code for make to order and make to stock  production. For both scenarios what production strategy is used.
    Regards
    Rinku

    Make to stock:
    Main Strategies Used are 10,11, and 40
    Demand will be captured in MD61 ( Planned Independent requirements)
    Make to Order:
    Main strategy used is 20
    Demand / Independent requirements will be captured in MD81(Customer requirements) .or sales order
    After MRP run and Execution of production, the demand disappears when stocks delivered to Either sale order or cost center.
    Please go through the following link to have further clarity regarding planning strategies.

  • Query related to write() and setsockopt()

    Hi ,
    This query is based on Solaris10. I will just brief out the issue and also the information which I am seeking. Here I am creating a TCP socket, and then increasing the socket buffer by using setsockopt(). Here is the call "setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF,&txBufSize, sizeof(txBufSize))" . Here txbufsize is nothing but an integer that has a value equal to 65536.
    Here I am writing some data by using the write system call like "write(fd, (char*) pData, (int) length));" Here The logic is to write to the socket fd, by using the above write () the pData of length 204 bytes continously for 40 times in a second. That means in a second maximum possibility of writing to the socket buffer is 204*40 ie. 8160 bytes.
    The issue is after writing 8 to 9 times, that is after a successful write of around 1836 bytes of data (9 times * with 204 bytes each), write is failing with an error number "EWOULDBLOCK". The man page is giving an information that error code indicating that there is no free room available in the socket transmit buffer. But as I said earlier the buffer which I send so far is only 1836 bytes, also the socket buffer which I have allocated by using 'setsockopt' is 65536 which is much higher value.
    Here what I am looking for is two things.
    1. Does anybody has any insight why this write() is failing with EWOULDBLOCK, the same code was working fine in Solaris 8 as well as in 9. The same code is recently ported to Solaris10. This behaviour is observed only in Solaris10.
    2. Is there any way I can debug how much buffer is already written or how much buffer is still free to use for writing, before I initiate a write(). It would be really great if anyone can point out a debugging tool or is there any way I can instrument the code with proper logs to print out the buffer each time before the write() call.
    Thanks,
    Sree

    Actually, there was a typo in the bigAdmin article. The tunable parameter in question is actually called
    tcp_fusion_rcv_unread_min
    and is set in /etc/system as follows:
    set ip:tcp_fusion_rcv_unread_min=0
    The parameter description is:
    This is the minimum amount of outstanding writes allowed on a synchronous streams-enabled receiving endpoint before the sender gets flow-controlled. Setting this value to 0 means that the data block limit is equivalent to the byte count limit, which essentially disables the check. Flow control for TCP fusion in synchronous stream mode is achieved by checking the size of receive buffer and the number of data blocks, both set to different limits. This is different that regular stream flow control. The need for this limit is to ensure that the sending and receiving processes are both getting the resources they need to process the data and that neither is starving the other.

  • A query related to ProgressBar and its placing inside Container

    Hi ,
    I tried an example with  Flex3 ProgressBar .I am posting the scenario in which it was correct in one case and wrong in another case .
    Please tell me what  is wrong here in the wrong case :
    The Program is related to :
    I have button on click of that i will be loading the Image . There is no Button and its event Listener Mentioned here .
    Correct Approach :
    This works fine as the Image and ProgressBar are in the same Container called HBox
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Image id="image" autoload="false"/>
    <mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB" source="{image}"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    Wrong Approach :
    The below isn't working as i placed ProgressBar outside the container called as HBox
    <mx:HBox>
    <mx:Image id="image" autoload="false"/>
    </mx:HBox>
    <mx:ProgressBar id="MYPB" source="{image}"/>
    Please share your ideas as why this behaves this way .

    Hi Kiran.
    I don't think either of the approach is wrong , it no way effected by placing the ProgressBar inside a container or outside the container.
    Run the sample application below. It will load for both approaches.

  • 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.

  • Query reg. Resource and time allocation in cProjects

    Wondering if someone can answer this query related to -  Resource and time allocation in cProjects.
    I understand the following regarding creating cProject -
    1 - Project manager creates a cProject for any upcoming new project in the organization.
    2 - Phases and Tasks will be created automatically (at our end) based on the template selected while creating the cProject.
    3 - Project manager assigns the resources to the project.
    4 - Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
    > This is the point where there isn't enough documentation to help me progress further. Please can someone suggest how and where do we specify the start date and end date to a resource in cProject.
    A sample document on the BEST approach to create cProject, assign reources to tasks, allocate start date and end date would indeed help further clarify my doubt.
    I wante to create a cProject with various tasks, assign resources, start and end date for each task. As the project progresses,
    I want to execute a report to track the progress of this cProject as resources go on completing a task.
    Thanks,
    RB

    Hi Pramod,
       Thanks for your reply. Below are some queries based on few points mentioned by you.
    Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
    When we prepare Project template, we define all project structure with phase, tasks, milestones, etc. - OK
    Also we define phase and task depedency, duration for tasks. - OK
    In actual Project execution PM creates project with reference to template, he add or delete any task / phase, changes duration if required. - How do you change duration of the task ? What series of events or clicks need to be followed ? Would be nice if atleast one option is listed.
    While in project planning, planner has to enter start and end date for project. - OK
    cProject scedules all other dates accordingly. We need not to go to individual phase or task to adjust dates. one can adjust only duration and depency to get required dates for tasks. This is standard planning phelosophy used in CPR, MSP or Primavra I believe. - At phase level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
    While doing resource assignment, the start and end dates are coming from task assigned to particular Project Role. - At Task level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
    cProjects automatically schedules the plan in create status, once the project released and actual status updated in cProjects, Project plan needs to schedules manually with help of schedule button in Project menu.- When I click Schedule button, message - Bottom-up scheduling was carried out is populated on screen. What is Bottom-up scheduling ?
    Would be nice to get reply to above queries.
    Thanks,
    RB

    MAKE TO ORDER AND MAKE TO STOCK notes
    Make to order Scenario
    1. Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
    2. You can use make-to-order production: (a) For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured (b) When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order.
    3. Stock keeping is not usually carried out for products that are made to order. In companies using make-to-order production, the demand program only determines the production area, in which various variant types are produced. Depending on how you track the costs associated with make-to-order production, there are two ways to process make-to-order items during sales order processing.
    (a) Make to order using sales order
    (b) Make to order using project system (not relevant for SD application)
    4. for make to order production using the sales order, all costs and revenues involved for an order item are held collectively at that item. A particular rule is used that can be changed manually to transfer costs to profitability analysis.
    5. make to order production is largely a production planning configuration. It is also controlled by the requirements type, which is determined by three things
    the strategy group (MRP 3) in MMR
    the MRP group (MRP1) in MMR
    the item category and MRP type (MRP 1)
    6. Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group (MRP1) and the strategy group (MRP3) in the material master record. In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.
    MAKE TO ORDER PRODUCTION (PROCESS FLOW)
    First Create a material with MM

    Make-To-Stock Production:
    Purpose
    we describe the planning of a product for make-to-stock production. After requirements planning, you analyze the stock situation and convert a planned order into a production order. You also enter a sales order that is not relevant to the planning. The production order is then released and saved. After the material withdrawals and confirmation of the operations, you analyze the production variances. The sales order is delivered and settled.

  • Need query to get parent and child relations

    Hi,

    The above query gives a project and its child.
    Child project can inturn have child projects.
    But the above query gives only the first level.

    AND f.prID = e.prTaskID
    AND e.PRREFPROJECTID=g.id
    But the problem is there is no limit on levels. They can go on to 20 to 30.
    So i need a query which gives me all the levels and not as above one where i am specifying till wht level.

    I have a particular finished material (FG) in the plant which is manufactured to stock and any sales that are generated for the FG is supplied from stock. The dependent SFG's and the RM's for this FG also are treated similarly and inventory is held to facilitate the production of the FG. I am forecasting this FG to satisfy the regular trend of demand that I am getting and to suit my regular customers sales orders, Now I get a sale order from a one time customer for the same FG and if I eat into my inventory stock then it would hamper my supplies for regulars so I want to treat this one time order as a Make to Order specific to a customer for the FG and all the dependent SFG's should also be planned specific to that one time order and this one time order for the FG and SFG process should carry the Sale order number as reference....How do I handle this situation??
    Thanks

    Hi!,
    Please customize a new planning strategy group in which put both planning strategies i.e. MTO (20) and MTS (say 10 or 40 whatever you were using earlier). Keep your regular stretegy as main stretagy. Use this planning strategy group in material master  MRP-3. Now try your both scenarios. I think this will solve your problem as I have already used it earlier.
    Path: IMG > Production >Production Planning > Planned Independent Requirements >Planning Strategy >Define Strategy Group
    Please revert back in case of any issue.
    Regards,
    Uday

  • Query relating to the creation of Managed Service Accounts

    Hi Folks
    I am studying for my 70-411 exam and have a query relating to the creation of Managed Service Accounts.
    I have successfully created an MSA account named 'MSATest' on a DC  using:
     new-adserviceaccount -name msatest –dnshostname home-dc-01 -passthru
    and
     add-AdcomputerServiceAccount -identity home-ap-01 -serviceaccount msatest -passthru
    However the guide that I am using now says that I now need to run:  Install-ADServiceAccount on the host computer in the domain to install the MSA in order to make available it available for use by services.
    So on my member server (home-ap-01) I have installed the Active Directory Module for powershell and ran:
    PS C:\Users\administrator.PCECORP> Install-ADServiceAccount -Identity msatest
    Install-ADServiceAccount : Cannot install service account. Error Message: 'An
    unspecified error has occurred'.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Install-ADServiceAccount -Identity msatest
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (msatest:String) [Install-ADServiceA
       ccount], ADException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InstallADServiceAccount:PerformOperation:Install
       ServiceAcccountFailure,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.Insta
      llADServiceAccount
    PS C:\Users\administrator.PCECORP>
    However this errors, Have I misunderstood the purpose of the Install-ADServiceAccount ?  or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Try using  -RestrictToSingleComputer parameter when creating service account with New-ADServiceAccount.
