MRP Strategies - Planning at Sub-assy(Halb) Phantom level

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a MRP strategy for my FERTs and HALBs where my MPS (Ind req) is loaded at a PHANTOM HALB level creating dependend requirements on the Raw material ROH and the most important, the Sales Orders that are created on the FERT level must consume the Ind. req loaded on the HALB PHANTOM level.
Do you have some ideas on how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

Hi,
How about:
1. MRP strategies: 40;
2. having an Order BOM with component of Phantom HALB.

Planning at Sub-Assy Phantom Level - Work order&Sales order FG Level

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a way of setup my SAP to have my MPS loaded at the sub-assy(phantom) level and my work orders/sales orders loaded at the FG assy level.
Loading the MPS at the sub-assy and exploding requirements to the components are working fine, the issue is that I need to create a work order/sales order on the FG assy level to be able to backflush the components, create FG stock and sell the product. When I create a work order on the FG assy level SAP is adding additional dependent requirements on the raw material level, duplicating the demand some times,I would like to avoid that. Iwanted to keep just dep requirements generated by the FCST loaded under the Phantom Sub-assy level........Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks

Hi Dharma,
I've tested this Strategy but it didn't work for my case........let me try to explain my issue in a different way.
The way my BOM's are setup today, I have several Halbs(Which are setup as phantoms) that are options to the product I sell, and the customer is sending me forecast under these options only, not on the Ferts. I'm loading my LSF under this halb phantom level and this is demand is exploding to the ZROHS, which is what I want. When the customer wants to buy a product from me, they send me a PO under the FERT level (Each Fert has a different combination of Halbs). In order to backflush my ZROHs I have to create a work order under the FERT level(As the HALB is phantom) and this is generating additional dependent requirements on the ZROH level..........
One example, if I receive a Forecast for 1000 pcs of the HALB A, I load the LSF on Product A and my raw material will have 1000 pcs as depreq. When I receive an order from the customer, let's say they want to buy 200 pcs(which should be already included on the demand I loaded under the Halb), I create the work order on the Fert level for 200 pcs. If I run the MRP at this moment the system will request me to buy the 1000 pcs already forecasted plus these 200 pcs that I got one order for....
Hope I could explain better.
Thanks for the help,
Douglas

Can we use MRP to plan for FERT in-house produced with PIR's & has Min/Max

Hi SAP Guru's
I have a very critical issue from the client who wants to use MIN/ MAX stock values for planning its finished products (in-house produced)
here is the details of the scenario
Client recieves 2 Excel files every week from customer
1st file contains the Weekly Demand Forecast of FERT material for next 1 year and they upload it in MD61 as PIR's BUT this value is also Inclusive of Safety stock value (ex: if weekly demand entered in MD61 as PIR is 50 and if safety stock value is 10, then actual demand is only 40)
2nd file send contains only safety stock values (for ex in this case let it = 10) to be maintained for the FERT materials
the client wants MRP to plan and trigger based on this PIR's in MD61 and Safety stock level fand plan for FERT, HALB and also ROH materials as defined in the BOM also taking into consideration the current WIP levels (Work in progress for any existing production orders currently being processed) based on the production Lead times values maintained
so what the client wants is they want to maintain 2 stock values, that is one least stock value and other higher value which if stock falls below this point, will trigger production based on the lead time and considering any WIP levels also
(for ex in this case if PIR = 50 and safety stock is 10, MRP run result client wants is = 30 and NOT =40)
so here are my questions
1. is this scenario feasible? use safety stock and min/max level for in-house produced finished which has demand PIRs in MD61 at the same time?
2. Also due to SOX complaince regulations, the client does not want to change the forecast values in MD61, so is it possible to make some settings so that forecast is corrected by WIThOUT including the safety stock value in it? ( for ex: in this case as = 40 only and NOt as 50)
3. which all settings should i maintain like for MRP type or lot size or stock qty levels or anyother customizations if any required so that when we run MRP, can it ignore the safety stock value and generate the client desired output?
thank u verymuch for your time & expert advice in advance

Hi Chakri,
This is not possible as per standard functionality. MRP always creates proposals for the shortage quantity of the safety stock. We have used the user exit in the plant level MRP run to exclude both plant and safety stock in the net requirements calculation.
You have to write logic to convert the safety stock into plant stock in the user exit so there will be no additional procurement proposals...you can create custom indicatar in materail master or linked any existing indicator like MRP group to the user exits so the MRP will checks this and will not create proposals for the selected parts.
If you have any questions then please inform.

Planning for sub-contracted operations

Hi, Fininsh product X needs A,B,C raw materials to manufacture it 3 operations. operation1 needs material A, Operation2 needs material B, which is exernal operation and material B needs to send to sub-contractor to use while manufacturing and operation 3 needs material C to manufacture in-house. now we want to run mrp to plan material B also even though it is externaloperation. question is what the settings req for material B to plan and monitor the stock at our premises and vendor premises? how to issue material B to vendor? pls guide.

Hi,
As I understand:
MaterialB is assigned to operation 0020 and subcontractor sends it to you. If materialB is produced by the subcontractor, certainly it has some components from which it is produced.
I mean: subcontractor produce materialB from materialB*
1.
In this case you have to create (CS01) a BOM where:
header: materialB
children: materialB*
2. You also have to maintain procurement key F and special procurement key 30 for materialB (MM02, MRP2 view)
3. If you maintain the operation of materialB with the correct control key (PP03 in standard system), SAP will generate a PurReq at the moment you save your released PrdOrd.
By converting the the PurReq to PO you will see that the PO has materialB* in its component list that has to be provided to the vendor (you can do conversion in MD04 or via ME57/ME58 or ME59 based on your settings).
So, you have two (at least two) part number: materialB and materialB* and you also have to maintain your routing (CA02) properly.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/92/91a809a9d511d189090000e8323492/frameset.htm
If you do not want to mainatin two part numbers (like materialB and materialB*) you can create a recursive BOM where both header part and children part is materialB.
(using split valuation you can make difference between materialB processed by subcontractor and not processed by subcontractor)

Sufficient stock but MRP create planned order and purchase requisition .

Hi Expert,
After MRP run planned order and purchase requisition created . but the problem is for child material sufficient is there but still PR and plnd order is created .
MRP type PD, LOT size EX,Strategy group 10, for testing purpose I made safety stock 0, min lot size 0 , max lot size 0.
I cant find the cause why MRP create PR and Pland order for the material which has sufficient stock. Please help.

Dear Anirban
could you check the following master data value:
Lot size -> MB Monthly ( only for test)
Rounding value -> null
Strategy 40 MTS.
You can try with this setting in order to figure out what is the problem.
You can check also orizzon planning and re-scheduling (set to 999).
Let me know if i have been useful for you

Costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order

Dear all,
How the costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order completion?
Edited by: Maulik on Jun 24, 2009 1:59 PM

Dear Maulik,
check Mr. Vinod's inputs abt costing
1. Maintain following master data:
MM01 Material Master with Costing and accounting view. Make sure all the cost Std, Moving avg etc is maintained along with valuation class in Accounting view 1. In costing tab pls make sure "with qty structure" and "Material Origin" are ticked.
CS01 BOM with components marked with costing relevance in Status/Long Text Tab. Also check all the qty are correct.
CR01 Work Center in Basic data tab maintain standard value key sau SAP1 and in costing tab maintain the workcenter, activity type and formulas (Usually standard formulas like for Machine Hours SAP006, Labour SAP007, Setup Activity SAP005 is used).
KL01 Cretae activity types, in basic data tab maintain ATyp Category AS "1" and cost element (as provided by your FI Guy).
KP26 Activity pricing, here with the combination of Activity type and the cost center you assign price to the activity.
2. SPRO Activity
Maintain Costing sheet IMGControllingProd cost controllingProd Cost PlanningBasic settingoverheadsdefine costing sheet.
OKKN Define costing variant, you define costing type (In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to like std price, moving avg etc), Valuation Variant (defines how the prices are prioratized), date control and transfer structure.
3. Costing Process Flow:
1. CK11N CREATE COSTING RUN
2. CK24 CREATE PRICE UPDATE (You Mark and release the prce to be updated)
4. COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
1. OPL1 DEFINE COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
2. OKK4 or OPN2 DEFINE VALUATION VARIANT
3. OKK1 or OPM1 DEFINE COSTING TYPE
4. OPL8 ORDERTYPE DEPENDENT PARAMETER (assign the above creted costing type for both planned and actual)
Hope this will throw some light on product costing.

MRP based planning

hi guys,
what is MRP based planning and why it is used?Under what conditions do we go for MRP based plannig for procurement of materials?

I will suggest you to read the SAP help on MRP first.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d3f9344af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Anyway i am trying to explainn you this functionality:
The Concept Of MRP in SAP
MRP in brief :
MRP is the planning tool in SAP which will look at all aspects of a material and is highly based upon the master data of the material. MRP looks at current inventory, current requirements, open purchase req/orders and so on. So if a material is required to satisfy a sales order and there is no inventory, MRP will create a planned order if the item is to be produced in house. This planned order can then be converted to a production order by the master scheduler. If the item is to be procured, then MRP will create a purchase req which the Buyer will convert to a purchase order. This is just one scenario, the system is highly configurable and will do pretty much whatever you tell based on config and master data.
Consumption based planning
- Reorder planning
- Forecast based planning
- Time phased planning
Details of re-order planning
Our motive is to maintain optimum stock level of all the material included in the resource planning. so in this user or system sets a particular quantity of stock as reorder point . Whenever stock quantity fall below this point(reorder point) mrp comes into action and generates procurement proposals according to the settings done in implementation guide
MRP run procedure
1. Create requirement or demand in MD61
2. MRP run by MD02 for a single material
3. See the result in stock requirement list in MD04.
MRP run we can carry out by
1. MD02 - single item multi level
2 .MD03 - single item single level
3 .MD01 - Total planning
4. MD04 Check MRP
5. MD05 MRP lists

Director 12 - Does Adobe have a strategic plan for this product ???

Adobe staff, and Director experts reading this, please answer these questions, for the benefit of all developers who purchased Director 11.x licenses, and for those who are thinking of purchasing Director 12 licenses.
Why is the Director 11.x and Director 12 documentation, as published by Adobe, so incredibly bad?
Why are the Adobe Director resources on the web and in book form, mostly in reference to Macromedia Director MX and Director 8.5?
After Director 8.5 people stopped writing about Director, even though Adobe continues to release new versions. Case in point, Director 12 was just released in February 2013.
For example, Amazon.com lists a handful of books under "adobe director", all of them published in 2003 or before, all referring to Director MX or D8.5, and most of them out of print. Those versions of Director are ancient history in the software world.
Are Silverlight3D and Unity3D taking over the "3D in a browser" niche?
HTML5 WebGL is not ready for prime time, and may not be fully supported in all the major browsers for many years (especially not in Internet Explorer).
So which is the dominant de facto "3D in a browser" solution right now, and for the next few years?
Why doesn't the Adobe Director development staff or the Adobe marketing staff talk in public about Director, like for example on this forum?
Adobe is obviously spending capital dollars to write and release new versions, but we don't see Adobe employees on this forum (which is published by Adobe), evangelizing and promoting Director.
It's as if the Adobe marketing people don't talk to the Adobe Director development staff.
This may be because Adobe has no strategic plan for Director.
If that's wrong, then what is Adobe's strategic plan for Director 12?
What is Adobe's strategic plan for future versions of Director?
Without a strategic plan for future versions, Director is already dead in its tracks.
So is Adobe Director a dead platform?
Should all of us "3D in a browser" developers put our Director 11.x CD's for sale on ebay, and move on to another platform before it's too late for us?

I agree with you. I have been complaining on this forums and asking Adobe to provide us with good documentation about Director 12 since its release a few months ago. I haven't seen any replies from Adobe or updates to the web site.
The iOS support is really poor. No support for video? Adobe is really dropping the ball here. I am very disappointed as many other customers about Adobe's unprofessional behavior releasing a product that is incomplete. I think they want to kill this product and this is the best way they found how to do it. I don't find any other reasonable explanation.

Is there a Pages template for creating a strategic plan?

Hi
I am wanting to create a Strategic Plan in Pages. The type of Plan put together by Private Schools - with text , headings, pictures and lots of white space -
does anyone know if there is a template available?
Thanks
Lyn

Hi Lyn,
A quick search on 'strategic plan template' with my favourite web search engine came up with several. Most are boring and dry, not at all what I imagine you want. Even though the templates are for Microsoft Word, Pages will open them. Then you can be creative and adapt them.

Ian.

Pur req not generated for MRP element Planned order in stock reqmnts list

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a problem where in MD04, pur req is not generated for the MRP element Planned order for a future date (about two months from now). Is there a specific reason? why is it not being generated? The MRP type is PD. The procurement type is F - external procurement. Can anybody please help me on this?
Thanks
Anusha

Anusha,
?? Not sure I understand the question. Are you saying MRP is creating planned orders instead of purchase reqs? Or, are you saying that no proposals at all are being created outside of two months? Or, are you saying that the system is creating purchase reqs inside of two months, and planned orders outside of two months?
Regardless, these problems are probably related to your MRP settings. Try the following settings:
NEUPL   Regenerative planning
1       Purchase requisitions
3       Schedule lines
1       MRP list
3       Delete and recreate planning data
2       Lead time scheduling and capacity planning
on your MDBT screen.

After mrp run-planning file

dear gurus,
           after mrp run.planning file entry should be deleteted.if not deleted what will be the reasons for that?
             what is replanning of materials?
please through some light on this issues
                         -gide

Hi,
Planning mode controls how the system is to deal with proc proposalexisting
from last planning run which are not yet firmed in the next run.
When we are changing reqmts qty and dates for proc proposals the system
automatically take this into account.Where as if there is any change to
bom/material master whether these changes will have an effect on planning run
will be controlled by planning mode.
Planning mode is set automatically set in the planning file and also
we can override in md02.
Mode 1: Inthis mode system reactivates the existing planning data
ie the system adapts existing planning data.
ex changes to qty/dates
Mode 2 : In this mode the system reexplode tho bom for all existing proc
proposal which are not firmed if there is any changes to bom
ex changes to bom /sales order bom
changes to production version / bom explosion no
Mode 3 : Inthis mode the existing proc proposal are deleted and again recreated
ex changes to inhouse prodn time / planned delivery time/sch margin
key
Hope this will help

How to confine various level of planning in to limited and lowest level of planning in DP by the users

Hi Gurus,
May I know the various methods to confine planning level at the lowest level and re-define the Primitive methods where business currently uses in excel sheet and plans at all level into demand planning with a minimum and lowest level by which the business reduces manual work and increases visibility and planning.
Example: Business currently plans at customer Hierarchies which has about 6 levels, product has Hierarchies at 5 levels, location hierarchies at 3 level in excel sheet and on monthly level for an year and then quarterly for 2 years and yearly basis for one year. This we need to confine to lowest level of customer, product and location.

CVC

So in this case, the cvc are created at lowest level of planning, at P6_C5_L3.
Now how to convenience the business that they need to do the planning at this level for planning, as the rest levels will be aggregated automatically in demand planning.
Is the grouping level place a major role? if so how to do that as the business says for some products they do at p4_c2_L1 level for some they do at P5_C4_L2 level.
Could someone guide us in giving some solution which ease the business need of planning at any level. Hope you have understood my requirement by the above example. If not do let me know, so that I may try to inform by further details. Thanks in advance.
Praveen

Praveen,
Not really sure what the question is. You say you want to 'confine' planning to the most detailed level, but you also want to support planning at an intermediate level.
No matter. DP transparently supports planning at any/all levels simultaneously. Data in DP is always stored at the detail level, no matter which level (or combination of levels) the forecast is entered at.

MRP - Create Planned Orders only for Externally Procured Materials

Dear All,
We have a scenario that our client gives us the daily requirement schedule for the current month and a monthly forecast for future months so that we can plan our externally procured materials based on the forecast.
Now I only want the MRP run to create Planned Orders for HALB and FERT based on my current months daily schedule and planned orders for ROH (Externally Procured) based on the next months forecast (monthly).
I dont want the system to create planned orders for HALB and FERT from the forecast. The requirement for the ROH are however derived from the Finished Good BOM and the forecast is also given for the FERT material. I know its a long shot but is there a possibility in the system to do such a thing or a work around?

Your business case is not clear; MRP will create planned orders for inhouse produced materials, and either planned orders or purchase requisitions for external procurement.
You can choose to convert or release external procurement for a long time ahead (eventhough taht if you have proper lead times defined you can release by lead time), but convert inhouse planned orders to production orders only for next period (week, month). Actually this is common practice.
So I fail to understand your problem.

MRP Issue: Planned orders Vs Pur Requisition

HI All.
I have a query on MRP.
We run Total planning for a plant in a night batch job The parameters for variant are as below
Planning Run Type: NETCH
Creation Indicator for Pur Req 2.
Planning Mode 3 Delete & recreate order proposals
Scheduling type Lead time scheduling
For example MRP runs on 19th Jan & for a given material, a planned order is created as the lead time 10 day & the requirement date is 15 Feb.
Now as normal proedure, when the opening date in the planned is reached, MRP should delete this planned order & create a Pur Requisition. But this is not happening even though we have used the planning mode 3 (delete & recreate order Proposals)
There is no planning file entry for the material after the initial MRP run. Is this the reason that the target material is not picked up in the planning.
Any suggestions on this.
Regards
Vineet

Hi
If Requirement is 15 Feb System Calculates and Gives the proposal for 05 Feb. As you may know there is one more Schedule Margin Key and itu2019s a buffer time before and after Procurement prosal. May be its affecting your Openeing period. Please Check the Paramaters in Material Master 1. Schedule Margin Key,2. GR Processing time, Lead Time and planning time Fence(During this Period System Doesnt Allow Automatic changes,,
