MRP question (make To order)

Hello all,
We have a case where Finished Goods are required directly for a Sales Order. MRP runs for the Finished Goods, planned orders create for PP and the relevant raw materials will need to be procured. There are cases where some of those materials are already in the warehouse as they are procured on a constant basis since they are the basis for many finished goods. There is a safety stock MRP running for them.
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to manage this scenario?

Dear Ioannis,
Yes maintain safety stock in MRP - 2 for ROH
Also maintain indi/coll indicator as 2 in MRP - 4 view

MRP for make to order

Dear All,
I have a material with make to order strategy 20. now when sales order comes, MRP plans material on the basis of that order. but client wants that when order comes then they can start production. but in sap, after order mrp plans material then procurement starts and after procurement production is started.
Now my requirement is that though material is make to order but is it possible that we can plan materials before order. otherwise guide me how can i cater client's requirement.

now when sales order comes, MRP plans material on the basis of that order. but client wants that when order comes then they can start production.
assuming: once the production order is received, they will start production means, Dependent material have stock, In that case use Strategy 82. once sale order received, production order will create automatically.
For dependent material use strategy 70
Or use strategy 50, Enter PIR to start producing Dependent material, once the sale order received, you can convert the plan order into production order

Unable to carry out MRP for make-to-order

Dear All,
I have a six level Bill of Material ( BOM ) .I am using planning strategy 20 make-to-order producton.
There is no stock for any of these materials.
Now when i try to run mrp on sales order basis it is not planning for all the levels of the BOM.The MRP Stops planning at 3 or 4th level.The MRP Run does not give any error.
Is there any setting to carry out MRP out MRP for all level of BOM?
I checked the setting in 0001 plant and compared them with my plant they are same.THE SYSTEM IS DOING MRP IN 0001 PLANT FOR ALL LEVELS
so pleses help me on these issue.
Regards
Prashant

Hy Prashant,
If you want to carry out MRP with MD50 for all levels of BOM then check this things,
For all the BOM components (up to last level) check in MRP 4 view of Material master
- Individual / Collective - It should be Individual or Individual/Collective.
If is maintain as Collective then you will not get planing Proposals though MD50.
- For all BOM headers Materials (Fert , Halb ) check in MRP 4 view for MRP for Dependent requirement should be maintain as Dependent requirement are Planned
Check the above things and if not maintain then maintain it and then run MRP with MD50.You will get the Planing proposals for all levels of BOM.

Mrp for make to order scenario

hi gurus,
I have got a different and challenging scenario in make to order planning. production planning has to be made on sales order basis.for eg : a particular finished product, a sale order of 100 nos is generated. but all 100 nos cannot be produced in single plant. so it has to be distributed to 2-3 plants. one more thing is, for make to order scenario, there is no fixed lot size. based on sale order quantity, planned order is created irrespective of fixed lot size maintained in material master. IF my batch size is fixed, for make to order also based on fixed based size, planned order has to be created.
Can anybody suggest a better solution for this scenario?
Thank you all in advance. all useful replies will be rewarded.
regards,
senthil

Hello,
For MTO, Lot for Lot order quantity is defaulted..
So your receipt element will be as per your Sales Order.
Try this:
In T. Code : OMI4, for Lot Size : EX
Change the MTO Lot size to "1" Lot-for-Lot with rounding.
(Which is Blank by default - lot-for-lot)
Maitain the Rounding Value in MRP-1 Screen or Use Rounding Profile..
This Helps..

Make to order - MRP

Dear all,
MY Client doing Make to order production, finished material is assembly. all components are sent to subcontractor under 541 mvt type without reference. when the sale order came for assembly, we have to run MRP, at the time system not considering subcontracting stock ( components).
fert - material master - Mrp 2 view procurement type-F and spl procurement - 30
components - Mrp 4 view - ind/coll requirement- 2
I want system has to consider subcontracting stock of components while MRP run????
thanks in advance

Dear,
Special stocks are not considered for MRP run. Subcontracting stock is a special stock (O), hence is not considered for MRP.
You need to define MRP area for vendor subcontracting. then run MRP for this MRP area it will work for you.
Please do refer this thread also,

Make-To-Order MRP for components with unstricted-use stock

Dear Experts,
There is a finished goods of material with standard planning strategy group "20" in the material master.
There is a component e.g. material A, under the BOM of the FG material.
There is already enough unrestricted stock for material A which has no special stock indicator assigned.
After creating the sales order, I use MD50 to run the make-to-order MRP, but the result shows that there a purchase requisition has been generated for the material A with the sales order assigned and specail stock indicator = "E".
Is there any solution so that there will be no PR generated for mat A as there is enough unrestricted-use stock.
And in the production order of the FG, can the component only requires the unstricted-use stock instead of the "E" stock?
(It is ok for the FG goods receipt as "E" stock.)
Thanks a lot.

Hi Ram,
Thanks for your information.
I set the indi/coll = 2 and null for the strategy for the component material A
Just want to know, which strategy should I use for the finished goods? And any other setting for the finished goods and the component?
And which transaction MD02 or MD50 for the planning run for the finished goods?
In such setting, after the planning run , PR will be generated for the net external procurement?
Actaully my situation is that I just keep own stock for components, I want MRP to consider the own stock instead of sales order stock before generating PR.
Thanks for your help again.

How can I set up purchase-to-order much the same as make-to-order

Hi all,
I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place but this is my first question that I couldn't answer by searching other posts/articles so I'm reaching out for some help and advice.
In PP, you can use a planning strategy to execute a make-to-order process which creates a production order specific to a sales order. Is the same possible within MM for creating a purchase order specific to a material required for a production order?
My example is this:
The BOM for FINI_ABC contains:
1 piece of PACK_1 (label)
1 piece of PACK_2 (container)
If I create a production order for FINI_ABC, MRP will obviosuly create requirements and purchase requisitions for both PACK_1 and PACK_2 materials. What I would like to achieve is for the production order number to be held within the purchase requisition and subsequently the purchase order.
This is required so that when the Purchase Order is created and sent to the vendor, they also receive the corresponding production order number. The vendor is then able to deliver the PACK materials packaged together for production which obviously eliminates some manual handling in the production warehouse.
As you see, it's very similar to Make-to-Order but I don't know where to start..........
Any help or advice to point me in the right direction would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Some care must be considered in respect to what materials will you be managing in your stock, if FINI_ABC or PACK_1 and PACK_2.
I'm guessing by your description you mean FINI_ABC.
I think you can create PACK_1 and PACK_2 as service materials and at your pricing condition for FINI_ABC you can define one of this "services" as a free goods item. Unfortunately you could only assign one item this way.
Another thing you can use is the empties management and set this two items in a empties BoM. Check:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/43/0102827af25285e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
In SAP Retail you can be even be a bit more creative with BoM's in purchasing as I recall.
You can also follow a more simple rule albeit some development required. Create your PO with only your finished material and create a new BoM usage and your "Purchase BoM's" for this usage. Then you set your purchase order smartform or EDI message to read this information and place it on the layout. Although you don't get the info in ME23N your supplier will.
Hope it helps,
Edgar

Error while creating make -to -order

Respected Gurus,
I am a frequent vistor of this forum, and find it very helpful. I am studying SD processes, and came across error which is not posted on the forum.
While configuring Make-to-order process,
1) I have defined and assigned controlling area for my company code.
2) In MM01 I created material master with required fields such as item category group ( 0001 - make-to-order)
3) In VA01 I have raised an order with my material, and in the sales header>Procurement> Requirement field changed to KE.
Now I get an error : Plant xxxx is not assigned to controlling area.
Could you please guide me.
Regards
Trupti

Thanks for the reply.
I checked assignment of the plant to the company code, and also MRP type. Both of them are as per your suggestion.
Not sure how, but the error i mentioned disappeared today, except another one related to FBN1.
I have been able to process MIRO , Invoice and generate the accounting document.
In the VA02 document flow...status of the accounting document is " Not cleared", how to go about it.
Also if you could look in to another question I posted regarding reconcillation account, would appreciate.

Trupti.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

Make to Order Process - Business Requirement

Hi Gurus,
Kindly explain what can be part of good questionare for requirement gathering from business process owners for initiating project on Make To Order process.
Thanks
BMW

Hi,
In MTO scenario as far as sales concerned we want the material master how the Material could be like is it a configurable material, or finished produt, or configurable with material variant etc you have to check .
We have to Maintain Strategy Group in MRP3 View. But this plays vital role iN MTO scenario
In the sales order BOM has to be exploded at Sales order level or BOm has to be exploded at Production order level
The entire MTO scenario depends upon Requirment type and Requirment class
Becasue once we created sales order the requirments have to pass to production people u can find it in MD04 tcode.
Then PP consultants Run the MRP and they will convert the planned order to production order
In the requirment class you have to chek what is the special stock indicator is it valuated stock or non valuated stock
is it a sales order settlement or production order settlement.what is the costing sheet costing id costing variant, and one more thing u need to know is it unit costing or product costing
when u create a sales order they will ask u to mark up the sales order costing mark up in the sense u have tick mark in the application menu bar.
suppose if u want to recalculate the cost at order level then this marking is very important. u have to sit with PP CO and MM people this is an excellent integration scenario.
As far as the pricing concerned u have to check how many pricing procedures are required according to business requirment
hope it could be like this including tax or excluding tax scenarios.
So based on this u have to talk to the project owners u have to ask questions.
regards,
Murthy

Make to order /make to stock

hi
plz. tell me the detail process flow of both the scenarios i.e. make to order and make to stock with TCODES.

Hi
The difference between MTO and MTS is
MTO--> Make to Order Production is the process where the prodcution order is triggered from a Sales Order. Ex: The Prod process will start only after receiving the sales order from the customer. In this case the product could be customer specific only (Variant)
MTS--> MTS scenario can be accomplished by the following settings
Need to use strategy group 20 in material master MRP view-Stretgy group 20 is assigned to strategy 20
Strategy 20 is assigned to Requirement type KE (Individual customer requirement)
Requirement type KE is assigned to requirement class 040 (Indiv.cust.w/o cons.)
Requirement class has all the parameters where we can define Prodcution order type that will be used to create th prod order. The above link needs to be established.
Also the MTS can be achieved using Sales Order schedule line catagory which will be assigned to Requirement type/class. Item category is assigned to Reqtype/class and the Item category is maintained in the material master.
You can use any of the baove config settings.
For MTO --> you just need to have all PP cycle settings in place nothing special needed as it is a plain PP cycle.
Please let me know if you need any more specifics or have any perticular questions.
SAP online documentation has also all the details that you need
Thanks

Make to stock and make to order

Hello,
Is it possible , if we have a sales order (make to order sales order) when running MRP, to ready unrestricted stock. It means, there is a sales order for material A for customer B, in MMBE transaction there is not special stock for customer B, but there is unrestricted stock for material A. So, when running mrp, instead ECC/SAP creates a MTO purchase requisition for customer A, it reads unrestricted stock?
thanks.
Renato Rêllo Penna

i think there is a slight confusion in ur question. material A, customer A??. can u elaborate abit more

2.you mention it as intercompany and MTO can you be clear for whoom you got the sales order(internal or External Customer?

Make to order automatic generation of schedule lines

I am now designing Make to order (MTO) strategy for repetative manufacturing.
Requirement generates through sales order (Requirement type - KE)
While doing backflushing (Tr. Code- MFBF) I am selecting Make to order tab and putting sales order no,will call planned orders (were generated while MRP run- Tran. code-MD50) and will confirm if sufficent sales order stock is available.
Every time I ahve to move from regualr stock to sales order stock by 412 movement.
Is there any link which will enables the shortfall of sales order stock will generate the schedule line enable to procure the material?
I have found one solution- will have to create Purchase order item having account assignment- M. and have to maintain the source and quota. It genertaes schedule line. But on daily basis I am generatin sales order and there are thousands of items to be procured. Practically it very difficult to creates new po or add new item in purchase order by putting assignment M

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Planning of child items in MTO senario can be handled by using appropriat planning stategy.
Or
There is another way of using individual and collective indicator
field on the MRP 4 view.
Here following are possible entries.
blank ---
1 -
Individual requirement only
2 -
collective requirement
Here if you give indicator as 2 , then for many sales orders the component requirement will get clubbed.
For example you have five sales orders for a parent material of qty 100 each, and in BOM you have specified the required quantity as 1 for the child material.
Then you will get a dependent requirement of 500 for the component.
Now , you have to decide whether you want five individualdependent requiremants of 100 quantity each for components or you want collective dependent requirement of
500 quantity for component.
Hope the above explanation is clear.
Reward if useful.
Please revert back if you need any input on component planning strategies.

Ravindra

Delivery schedule line number in make to order

Hi all,
i am doing make to order scenario with 20 strategy group. In sales order we r defining the different delivery schedule lines.when i run the MRP and getting the plan orders for all the FG material and semifinished material, the sale order number and sale order item number is getting updated in production order . Beside these two , delivery schedule line number is not populated and delivery date is not picking correctly in production order.
please give your valuable suggestion .
i would be highly thankful to u
regards
piyush

Hi
When you do the MRP Run at MD02, maintain the Delivery Schedules as 3 (schedule lines), so when ever you do the MRP Run, it will run along with the delievry date.
reward if it helps
