MRP Scheduling with a material with multiple production versions scrap rate

Greetings all.
I have a problem with MRP scheduling. How do you account for different loss rates or scrap rates on a material because of multiple versions of a material that are in production. For example, we have an item. There are two differen ways to make that item and both have different loss rates or scrap rates. How do we account for this. And whatt happens when you have these with multiple routings. Thanks.

Dear,
It can be handled in 3 ways.
1st way - Create 2 versions to represent 2 ways of production. Create a 3rd version name it as total and make it as a first version so that MRP will take this version for scheduling. In total version give the most correct scrap qty and timming in routing. Hence when you run MRP system will consider the total version, then change the varsion in planned order as per your requirement.
Second way - Create 2 version and if you are using Demand planning, in MD61 against the qty represent the version number so that when youn run MRP, the planned order will carry the version.
3rd way - Create 2 Production version and create a quota arrangement and assihgn these two Production version as Quota items and give the % share. Hence when youn run MRP system will share the demand qty into two different version as per Quiota arrangement(setting in MRP2 is necessary fir planning).
Please come back which one you are looking for so that we can give furthur information

Urgent :-PIR Saving w.r.t multiple Production version/Month wise

Hi,
1) Please let me know whether It is possible to enter Planned independent requirement saving in MD61 Txn code month wise & with respect to three Production version..
i.e. in detail,
I am having 3 alternative BOMs of the same finish material. I want save the Independent Requirement in a particular month with respect to 3 BOMs /3 Production Version wise in the same month.
After that I want to run MRP multilevel planning which will create planned orders of Finish Products & Dependent materials exploding corresponding BOM with respect to the particular Production Versions.
2) Please let me know the best suitable strategy which will not consider present stock & Production/Planned orders in hand , will only create planned orders from the PIR saved in the Demand Management.
Please sugggest the best way to do. I am in pressure from the client.
Regards

Hi
PIRs cannot be created for 3 production versions.
In MRP documentation, check for quota arrangement. Planned orders can be assigned to three different production versions in equal quantities by the quota arrangement.
MRp run reads the quota file MEQ1 when it has to distribute planned orders across three production versions.

Costing - Multiple Production Versions and Recursive BoMs

Hi All,
We have a production and product costing scenario as follows:
Production versions 10, 20 and 30. It takes all three versions to manufacture the finished material and there are no intermediate products in this scenario. 10 and 30 are to be costed and 30 is a recursive BoM with the input from version 10 also being the output. 10 is the main production step with components but 30 is a recursive BoM sometimes only with the output material as the input and sometimes with a more complete BoM but which includes the output material as an input component.
The quantity input appears to be the same as quantity output for the recursive element.
If anyone has come across this scenario and you can let me know what design principles you followed I would appreciate it.
We are getting iteration error messages when costing production version 30 and even reducing the input quantity below 95% of the input as per the SAP documentation does not fix the error message.
Any help you can give will be greatefully received.
Thanks.

Tim

Murali - Its possible to use multiple PV in sub contracting.
Settings in ERP :
1. In CFC9 activate the - Transfer multiple selection of PDS indicator. When you select this indicator, the system allows you to select several productions versions in the integration model; it also creates a Production Process Model (PPM) or Production Data Structure (PDS) for each production version in SAP SCM
2. Assign the PV's to the subcontracting info record through - Logistics - Central Functions - Supply Chain Planning Interface - Core Interface - Advanced Planner and Optimizer - Environment - Data Transfer -Assign Multiple Production Versions
3. When you select the integration model parameters for PDS, you have selected PP/DS Subcontracting as the PDS Type value. Similarly, for PPM, you have selected Subcontracting PPM as the Type of PPM value.
Subcontracting with multiple production versions is supported. However, the integration with an SAP ERP system requires at least SAP ERP 2005 with Enhancement Pack 03.

Receiver Determination when multiple Product Versions / identical namespace

Hi,
How would the receiver determination be done when we have multiple product versions with identical namespaces and interface names ?
During development, when we do a release transfer to another product version, the namespaces and interface names remain same as the current objects.
How would XI resolve the correct interface in this case ?
thanks,
Manish

The XI does not care about the application systems. When a message is received by the application, it knows, what to do with the messages.
The receiver could be an RFC call, an IDOC, an Abap Proxy, here the correlation between interface and Abap code is unique.
The receiver could be a File, or JMS adapter, here the correlation between interface and communication channel is unique as well.
You might reuse IDOCs or RFCs or in rare situations other interfaces in different software components and install them for the same application system. But you can only generate proxies from one interface.

Multiple Production Versions in Subcontracting Inforecord

Hi Gurus - I have a question on how to assign multiple production versions in Sub-contracting Inforecord?
I heard this functionality is available in ECC 6.0 is that true? If so how can I assign multiple production versions? What happens after we CIF across to APO? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

Can we get Multiple production versions in APO

Hi,
Is there a way to get multiple production versions into APO, as the info record( we are using) is what drive the creation of the PDS in APO from ECC
Is there a way to find out how we can have multiple production versions in APO.
Thanks
Maddy

Maddy,
Standard functionality in APO is to support multiple production versions.
Production Versions are a standard object in ECC. They consist of a combination of a Bill of Materials, a Routing, and a few other bits of data. For a given material/plant combination in ECC, there can be many Production Versions.
Production Version - Repetitive Manufacturing (PP-REM) - SAP Library
These Production Versions are integrated in standard CIF via either Production Process Model or Production Data Structure.
Integration of Production Process Models - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library
Integration of Production Data Structures Generated from R/3 Mas - Integration of Master Data - SAP Library

MRP run for header material with bom usage-3

Dear All,
We have header material with bom usage-3.We maintain the stock at child components only ,not at header
I have created the planned independent requirement for header material.I have created a sales order but sales order is not shown in md04.
What can be the further setting I am missing for mrp run of above scenario.
with regards,
pradeep

Dear ,
Couple of checks points for you :
1.Check the material master Sales Org Veie-Item Categoery .As you have mentioned Item Categoery -TAQ which is not relevent for requirement planning throgh schedule line category -CT ( CT means there will not be any inventory or good movement and requirement will not be passed for MRP ) .Only CP -line item categoery does requirement passing through MRP and it will show u in MD04. So the summery is if you want to generate an MTO order for the same FG material , you should matian the Sales Line item categoery as MTO in sales Org View and it will pop up in VA01 whiel logging Sales Order .
Generally , TAQ item categoery are used in Project Billing or Delivery .ok and they will not be having any availabilit check so it KP ( no check ) .
But for MTO order , you should have availablty chek 02/01 in MRP3 view and also MTO Sales Item categoery .
Based on the above information logg an sales order , release credit chek in VKM3, SAVE and check in MD04.
Create PIR in MD61 and Run MRP on the both cases .I have tested its working .but noit with TAQ item categoery ok
2.Why do you need to create Sales Order for dependent Item-Y because it will be in X-BOM item ? Make sure that Y- should have Sales Item categoery in material master -MM02-Sales Org View as NORM item .If you really want to create sale sorder for this item , it should TAN or NORM .
3.Other PIR detail is fine .
Try and revert back

Multiple EAN maintainance with one material with its stock quantity

Hi,
I have a question with regards to EAN.
Basically, I would like to maintain multiple EAN number and its correspondent stock figure of a material into the material master (see following example):
Material: 100200
EAN1  1234903948193 stock quantity  100pcs
EAN2  8374772990291 stock quantity  130pcs
EAN3  1378882990201 stock quantity  163pcs
Does the above possible to be maintain in material master basis view in the additional view with its relevant quantity?
The business rational for maintaining multiple EAN for this material is because this material can be produced in UK, Germany, & France:
EAN1  UK, EAN2  Germany, EAN3  France.
And further, business would like to keep track of how much stock quantity it has on each of these EAN:
EAN1  100pcs, EAN2  130pcs, EAN3  163pcs.
Please advise. Thanks
tuffy

Hi,
Multiple EANs can be maintained for a material in material master but the stock number cannot be tied to it.
For this you can use alternate methods like split valuation where in the valuation type refers to the EAN and this way you can maintain an indirect reference between EAN and stock numbers.
Hope this helps.

Can I create a single captivate 7 software demo with captions and have multiple languages versions

First Timer here; we are a small but global company and we would like to create training videos for our worldwide customers. What we want is to create a video once with English captions and then use the exact same video over and over but changing the language to German, Spanish, French and more each time we save it.
Example: we create a video demonstrating how to perform a specific task and save it in English. Then, before we close this "English" file, we would like to save it in German, then save it again in French, etc. The idea is not to have to open the software and repeat the "click-by-click" action for each language; just perform the software navigation once but somehow change the language displayed in the caption balloons for each language.
Thank you for any assistance,
denny

Hi there
Certainly you will be able to click File > Save As and save as all the different languages.
After you do that, you need to open each respective file and click File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This action should create a Microsoft Word document that may then be opened and translated. Then it's saved back and you click File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions to change the verbiage to the desired language.
Cheers... Rick

MRP Run with production version.

Hi Experts;
I am working as a member of a SAP implementation supporting team. The client wants to run MRP with alternative BOM, not with the 1st BOM. As a solution for the requirement i created production versions and assigned to MD61 schedule line tab. It is working properly.
But the user maintain some quantity as a safety stock for finished materials also. To cover the safety stock requirement, system create planned orders with the 1st BOM, not the production version.Already i have maintained the selection method "3" in material master.
Is it possible to cover safety stock with alternative BOM.
Please help..
Thanks,
Malka

Hello Malka,
For your issue,,
As per other expert suggested you can block the first production version but if in future you want use first production then,,
In these case you maintain production version in many way
Ex.
1. Lot size .(if production version using for specific lot)
    Maintain the Lot for both production version, so Production version 1 lot completed system take       second production version.
2. Production version validity date (If production version using for specific period )
    In this case after completion of 1. Production version period system take second one
3. Manually selection of production version (If multiple production version and all have same condition)
    Whenever you convert the planned order to production order, one pop up come and ask for                manually selection for Production version, for this you go to OPL8 and select the Manually                production version
I hope this information cover your all requirement, No need to go with quota arrangement
Still you want know about the Quota arrangement, Please create new thread so other expert also provide their view

Problem with prod. ver. explosion to production order

Hi
I have problem with production versions. I have FERT with 3 production versions. Additionaly we have Z-program (on Z-table) which control parameter sold to party (from sale order) with production version. So after MRP I see in planned order right production version for example 3 - field PLAF-VERID; in master data in planned order I see right alternative BOM and routing; but when I make a conversion to production order I see that system always explode 1st version; additionaly in planned order in components (button) I see 1st pr.ver (1st alternative BOM) and in Bill of Material (it seems like to manually expolding BOM) I see right version??? But it couldn't be like this that to have right data I need to go to transaction MD12, explode BOM manully, save and after that make a prod. ord.
I would like to system explode BOM according to production version (field VERID) already in planned order; so after that it should be that when I will converted it to production order I should have right BOM and right routing from production version signed in planned order.
I know it sounds complicated Add. in configuration all parameters are set right to explode BOM etc. etc. system version: 4.7
Thanks and regards. Joanna
Additional info: I cancel this question cause problem is in Z-program; becuase when according to Z-table system change input in field VERID for system it is only "digital" not parameter for which system should explode right BOM; sorry for disturbing, we need to change Z-programm; I do not know how but maybe any function module can help - we will think.

Creating Production Order with wrong production version

Hello Expert,
please provide me answer and solution to resolve our problem regarding creation of production order (CO01 and CO41), because SAP provide and propose production version which have alternative BOM which is status 02 (inactive) already it is not picking the production version which has active alternative bom for our finished material. it is allowing the production to be created even the bom was inactive.
please help us to this it still bugging our system
tenx

Hi Ryan,
Production version will be selected based on the field Selection Method field in Material Matser MRP 4 view.
1 Selection by explosion date
2 Selection by production version
3 Selection only by production version
If the selected field value is 1 , then system selects the version based on the validity dates i.e whichever production version is active on that day that will be considered in MRP.
If the selected field value is 2 by production version. Then system will select the First Prodution version mentioned in the Material Master MRP 4 View (production version Tab).
If the selected field value is 3 always only by production version. Then system will select the First Prodution version mentioned in the Material Master MRP 4 View (production version Tab).
So to address you query I suggest you to delete the production version PV1 with BOM 01 and Make production version PV2 will be available and active in seen as the first production version in teh screen.
Then for your inof purpose you want have the PV1 then re-create it as second version in the Version tab screen.

Product version inconsistent with software components

Hi,
after upgrading our sandbox from 4.6C to ERP 6.0 EHP4 SP06 i've changed the product assignment in SMSY and fetched the new data using "Read System Data Remote". Now there are two problems:
1.) Read System Data Remote shows error message S:032:000 trying to fetch data using RFC. No more explanations or long text. Although data is been read and updated and RFC test connection is ok.
2.) The related system shows exclamation mark "Product version inconsistent with software components". The product version is SAP ERP 6.0, Product Instance is SAP ECC Server. Now i tried "Change Product Assignment" and "Clean-Up Inconsistencies". This results in a list of "Inconsistent Database Assignments" like "Product: SAP ERP" and "Product Instance: SAP SRM-Server". Nothing i can change here. I'm confused as i haven't defined SAP SRM-Server anywhere just SAP ECC-Server.
Any ideas about 1.) or 2.)
It seems to me that Solution Manager doesn't make life easier in the first.
Thanks.

Miguel,
i have checked note 1165438 but can't see how this should help. The technical usage is correct and there is only one specified which is ECC / Central Applications. Still SMSY complains about SAP SRM-Server and more.
Let me say that the system was defined as 4.6C before the upgrade and that we used Solution Manager to download all required packages for ERP 6.0 EHP4 SP06 which worked fine. The problem is as said before that after changing the product version to ERP 6.0 there are inconsistencies shown on the product assignment page (inconsistent database assignment) for SAP SRM-Server, SRM-Catalog, cProject Suite, Workforce Management, E-Recruiting, NW-Business Intelligence, NW-Process Integration, SEM, SRM-Server ECC AddOn, SRM Catalog Content, NW Mobile Infrastructure, FSCM-FSCM Server (ABAP), Application Platform-IPC and Learning Sol-Frontend ABAP. Never heard about them nor specified them anywhere.

Production Version in Material Master

Hi,
I am having problems with this.
I need to either change date on a production version or
delete the product version.
I have tried using a batch input sequence from my program both for changing the date
and for deleting the production version and this all works well.
Now this isn't good enough since there can be multiple production versions on a material
and I don't know which line to change or delete in the batch run.
Is there a good FM or BAPI to handle this?
I don't want to change the MKAL table directly since there is a history table
connected to this also (MKAL_AEND).
What is the best approach?
Rgds,
/Fredrik.

How can I use this to achieve what I want to do, either
change the production version date or delete the production version?
I have tried C223, but this is not good enough, nor is batch run in MM02.
I can have multiple production versions and can not pick the correct line
in batch run to change or delete.

Selecting production version in MRP run

Hi dudes,
our client is having reuirement is he will select the production version irrespective of lot size, but he select the production version at the time of manual creation of process order where it depends on resource(work center used in recipe of particular production version, BOM will be 1 alternative only.
now while running MRP how to make system to allow manual selection of production version at the time of converting planned order to processs order.
respond asap plz...
Daniel.

Hi ,
During MRP, system will select the production version based on Validity date & Lot size.
If a material contains two production versions with same validity date & Lot size qty , system will select the First valid PV by default (unless it is locked) & will copy to planned order.
When u convert the planned order to production order,default PV will be copied automatically from planned order. Here u cannot select PV manually.
Settings:
Create valid production version with lot size and Valid routing , BOM at MRP view of Planning material.
Assign the selection method = 2 or 3 at MRP view of Planning Material

Anand.
