MRP suggestions for materials with step association

We needed that the MRP suggests the supplying of the ingredients in the beginning of the steps and not in the beginning of the batch, the question is if OPM Process Planning is able to see step material association, to be able to suggest as we want?
Thanks

Hi
My belief is yes, but havent yet tried the same myself

Mass change of Reorder point on MRP areas for materials

Hi,
Is there any process to upload mass change of reorder point on MRP areas for materials.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pavithra,
I know this is an old thread and my answer may not be relevant to you anymore but maybe it will help others. Are you trying to do a mass change for the reorder points of the MRP Areas? If so, go to tcode SA38, then run program RMMDDIBE. Then go to create/change with Data tab. Select change MRP area and there you can change the reorder points for your MRP areas.

Automatic STO for materials with split valuation

Hey Gurus,
Our client uses plant-to-plant STO to do transfers among internal plants. The current process: Run MRP in receiving plants --> MRP generates PReq --> Release PReq --> Assign Preq and create STO(from here, buyers manually check stock at issuing plant to see if there are "New" or "Rebuild" stock available, Rebuild stock always take the priority. Buyers manually assign Rebuild or New to ME21N).
The client tries to automate the STO process, ie, using ME59 or ME59N instead of ME21N. The problem is how the system does stock check and automatically enters"Rebuild" or "New" for materials with Split Valuation, which are done by buyers manually?
Thanks
JM

Hello,
Your client's request can be met with an user exit i guess. I have not used this but this is a suggestion that you can try if you wish.
The following things need to be done.
1. New PR type needs to be created and assinged to the STO document type.
2. When running a MRP at receiving plant, the system uses the special procurement key to create the STO requisition, hence we can write the relevant code in user exit in the MRP program. (please find the user exit for MD01)
3. If the special procurement key is 40 in the material master (MRP view), then system has to create the PR using the new PR type for STO. Also for those PRs the default batch should be "Rebuilt" entered while creating the PR.
4. As the batch is already entered in the PR, converting them to PO automatically will not be an issue.
if you feel that the above solution is little tough to implement, then please write a program to fetch the STO PRs and update the PRs one by one using the BAPI PR update or BDC with the batch "Rebuilt". This program you can ask the users to run before using ME59.

Sakthi

Costing run for materials with special procurement key

Hello,
Since moving to ECC6, the costing run for materials with special procurement keys is not pulling the marked price from the materials the special procurement keys point to. Only the released prices are pulled.
Example:
Material A, plant A has a future price (costing 2 tab) of 100 and a current price of 99
Material A, plant B has special procurement key Z1 (costing 1 tab) which pulls the costing from Material A, plant A
In our old system (46c) the costing run for Material A, plant B would pull 100.
In ECC6, the costing run for Material A, plant B pulls 99
Anyone that can push me in the right direction?

Hi,
Based on the info provided thus far, the result that you notice in ECC 6.0 is right as it is picking the current standard price based on your setup.
Now why it is picking the future price in 4.6c, well for that you will have to do a detail check as in which variant is being used etc. I would suggest you to work with your CO personnel on this. Do a costing run for this particular material via CK11n using the variant which you mentioned & see the results.
Or if you can upload the screenshots (picasaweb or some other portal) of the valuation variant you're using in 4.6c, along with Acctng view 1 & 2, costing view 1 & 2 details of the material it would help to have a better understanding.

Vivek

Report for materials with shortage (GATP)

Hi,
We are using GATP for the cofirmation process. If you go to the CO09 transaction in the SAP-ERP system, it will take you to an APO screen. There are 2 fields (Receipts and Confirm quantities) on this screen; when Confirm quantities is greater than Receipts it shows that the material has a shortage.
Is there any report in APO that shows me the materials with shortage (Confirm quantities greater than Receipts)?
Thanks a lot

777,
Such info requirements are usually handled with the Alert monitor.
/SAPAPO/AMON_SETTING, create an alert type ATP, Availability check shortage.

5.1 audio suggestions for FCS2 with a Decklink Extreme and Mac Pro?

I'm using a Mac Pro with Final Cut Studio, and I'm wondering if I can get 5.1 sound out of the decklink card. When I use a Firewire interface (M-audio firewire 410) to output audio, it is out of sync with the video coming out of the decklink card. So I guess the alternative is to find out how to get AES/EBU to output the 12 channels it says it can do in HD. I can't afford an HDCAM deck with 12 outputs, so how would any of you suggest I go about doing something like this? I really just want to get 5.1 going and in sync for the Final Cut Studio 2 release.
Thanks so much for any help!
Bob Stovall

Hi Bob,
I'm using a Mac Pro with Final Cut Studio, and I'm
wondering if I can get 5.1 sound out of the decklink
card. When I use a Firewire interface (M-audio
firewire 410) to output audio, it is out of sync with
the video coming out of the decklink card.
See my response to your other post on this. Note that M-Audio is not famous for excellence with Core Audio drivers.
So I
guess the alternative is to find out how to get
AES/EBU to output the 12 channels it says it can do
in HD. I can't afford an HDCAM deck with 12 outputs,
so how would any of you suggest I go about doing
something like this?
The Decklink AES/EBU hardware output will only source 2 channels of audio. If you have the 410, just use that with your audio software and set up the offset as I previously described. Plug its analog outs into your surround controller. It's very straight forward and you shouldn't have too much trouble.
If you tell us what audio software you're intending to use to produce your soundtrack, we could probably be more helpful.

Non valuated Goods Receipt for materials with multiple account assignments

We have been using multiple a/c assignments for services on purchase orders for sometime with no issues. Recently we used a multiple a/c assignment distribution for a material P/O. this didn't work the same and the Goods Receipt was set as non valuated.
This leaves the cost showing as a commitment and we do not get any actual costs charged at the GR point until we get and post the invoice. This only happens with multiple account assignments, all material P/O goods receipts for single assignments get valuated.
Were not sure why this happens, and want it treated the same. Is there any way we can get these valuated the same way single assignment materials or multi assignment services are.
The non valuated GR flag is getting set automatically, but we can't see where this is coming from for this scenario, so were a bit stuck.
Any advice/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Graham

Hi Deshamol, No the materials are all valuated, as mentioned, they all work fine when used as single a/c assignment.
Anupam, Your answer doesn't make sense to me, this is 1 line on the P/O, therefore 1 material. It can't be both valuated and none valuated for each a/c assignment.
I have read in a note there there is a business function that you can apply to get this working, has anybody tried it?
Thanks

List of materials with no associated routing...report

Hi all,
I need to develop a program to display a list of materials that do not have an associated routing. SAP tcode C223 lists materials with associated production versions. Do you think there is another standard SAP transaction that might get me close to my goal?
regards,
Mat

Not sure about a standard transaction, but I have written a program to do this same exact thing in the past.
Really all you need to do is check against table MAPL.

HD monitor suggestion for use with Mac Mini.

Hello Group,
Can anyone suggest the best (or good, compatible) HD monitor to use with my new mac mini just purchased (late 2009 model). Can't afford the apple cinema's so I'm looking for a cheaper option to still have HD using HDMI inputs, looking to spend around $200-$300..also do I need to purchase an adapter of some kind?. Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Although I have no specifics, from various articles I have read
about the condition, a few things stand out.
What seems the most prevelant and makes a lot of sense is
to use a monitor that has a matte finish screen. Glossy screens
regardless how you tweek lighting and viewing positions will always
have some amount background reflection. It can be so low as to
not be conciously perceptible, but the eye is still detecting it and
is trying to correct for it and what is viewed on the screen.
On the subject of lighting, with the wider spread use of CFL
lights could be adding more people to the list with this problem.
The "cycle times" of these can conflict with display refresh times
causing the susceptable persons eyes to get confused. The old
incandescent bulbs had much less of this effect.
Screen refresh rate can also be an issue. With the iMacs and
the Thunderbolt displays as well, these are fixed and cannot be
tweeked, atleast not without third party intervention. With a
Mini and some other third party monitor, adjusting refresh rates
can help.
Environment in general is a major contributor as well.
So, resolving the issue may not be as simple as just getting
a different monitor, although matte screens seem to be a
major help.

Suggestions for printing with CS4?

I had no problems printing with CS3 at school last year but they updated to CS4 and now my prints are pure magenta! I did all the same settings like photoshop manages color, printer profile, etc. and i can't figure out what the problem is. if anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate it! Might it have something to do with color settings?
thanks, erica

Hi Erica,
Of course I don't know which printer you are using, but I've been using Epson 7600s for years and I also belong to the Epson Wide Format Group. Although I'm not using CS4 yet, I have noticed a number of printing issues concerning the newest version of PS. One thing I remember, and I believe this came from both Epson and Adobe, is that in CS4 you have to let the printer manage the colors, not Photoshop. Otherwise you will have double profiling and that can lead to disastrous results. I think it would be a good idea for you to join the Epson Wide Format Group and post this question there. I'm sure you'll get more results from those whose business is printing, and mostly from Photoshop. I'm including the URL for the group. It only takes minute to join and then you can post right away. Good luck Erica.

A suggestion for those with battery issues:

When I first got my iPhone, I had the same battery issues many people here are talking about, in fact I posted about it myself. Its fixed. Very fixed, and Im very happy with my battery life. Here is what I did.
First, do not charge it using your USB connection. At least not always. Why? I dont know. I did the first few days, and couldnt get a full charge even tho system wasnt going to sleep. I started using the wall charger, and got longer battery life, but still not great. One night, I forwarded the phone to my home phone in case I got a call, and shut the phone down completely, and put it on charge. In the morning, I woke up to a 100% charged, fully glowing battery icon. The battery lasted all day with no issues. Every night after that, I just charged it on the wall charger, but did NOT shut it down to see what happened. I am still waking up every morning to a 100% fully charged battery. The battery life seems to get better daily now.
Today, I ran wifi for about 5 hours because I forgot to shut it off. This was after going to the pool and listening to the iPod on the phone for about 2 hours. And using the phone normally throughout the day, checking mail, sms, etc. Really a full day of work, and my battery is still over 50% full. I purposely didnt connect it to anything during the day for a recharge, not the USB or wall charger.
Good luck, hope this helps. Id be interested to know if it does.

Here's my non-scientific experiment.
After surprising battery drain for the first 10 days or so with not much usage, I completely drained the battery yesterday until the phone shut off.
I plugged into AC charge and was worried when it didn't seem to even begin charging.
I plugged into USB, assuming it needed to charge enough to at least complete a sync.
I left it on USB until about 5-10% charge, then switched it to AC. At about 50% I needed to use it, so I did but sparingly, and put it back on charge, all the while keeping Mail on manual and WiFi off.
I took it off once more to get it home from the office, then plugged into AC.
I left that charging overnight.
I never actually got the "glow", but did get the plug icon showing full charge in the status bar.
After about 2 1/2 hours this morning, the status has not moved off of 100% (but with little usage as before).
This is definitely an improvement already though. Hope this helps.

Acrobat 9 installed on Windows 8.1; upon Save, error every time: "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..."; no "Organizer90" file found (to be deleted, as www suggests for solution with XP, VIsta, 7)

I've installed my old faithful Acrobat 9 Pro on my new Windows 8.1 computer. The program works, but every time I save the document, it tells me "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset. Quit the program and close all browsers." (Something close to that text.) I've entered the error online, and a solution does appear for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It tells me to have Windows Explorer show hidden files, and then look for "Organizer90" within Users/[me]/AppData/LocalLow/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0, and then delete that file -- which will make Acrobat generate a new one. But there is no such file there. Please help with alternate solution. NOTE: When I "Check for Updates" in Acrobat, I'm told that there are no updates available at this time, but also told: "Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater." Seems like things are out of whack.

Thanks for help. Difficulties continue: When trying to install 9.5.5, I'm told it can't install because the program may not be on my computer, or may be the wrong version. I'm told to check that the program exists. The installed version (9.0) is totally legit, my serial numbers, etc., I've used it for many years. Automatic update seems to be on, but I downloaded Adobe Updater to be sure. Seemed to make no difference. Program does function, but not perfectly. Under "About," it calls itself 9.0, so it would not seem that auto update is taking place. Acrobat on previous machine (Windows Vista) indeed calls itself 9.5.5. (It was installed with same 9.0 package, and presumably updated itself to 9.5.5 over the years.) So summary of current problem: Acrobat 9.0 won't upgrade to 9.5.5 on Windows 8.1.

A suggestion for those with freezing dual-core 2.3 G5s (and maybe others)

I'm on my second dual-core 2.3 that's showing the random instability that many others are describing on the boards. To summarize:
- The kernel panic screen usually (but not always) appears.
- Within 10-20 seconds of the crash, fans come on full bore.
- Nothing of substance is recorded in the logs (at least not that I've found).
- Problem occurs with stock RAM as well as 3rd party modules.
- Crashes usually occur soon after a period of steady processor activity (playing large QuickTime movies, transferring files over the network, etc.)
- Problem exists under both 10.4.3 and 10.4.4.
- Apple's hardware test reports everything's fine.
- I've never been able to keep the machines up for longer than 3 days.
So I decided to give something a try that I happened to see in one of the many posts on the topic. In the Energy Saver pane, I've set Processor Performance from Automatic to Highest. And guess what? I've been doing all the same stuff I've always done, and haven't crashed for 6 days!
Just curious if others with similar symptoms have success with this...
Troy

Troy:
I've been using my PM dual core 2.3 GHz hard since November with nary a problem. I usually keep the Energy option at Automatic, unless I'm going to be running heavy-CPU database processes, when I set the CPU to Highest.
And I do watch movies fairly often on the 2.3.
I always use Software Update for OS and Security updates. I've been updating my Macs for years this way, and haven't seen a kernel panic since OS X 1.0. Permissions repair is always run before and after updates.
Cocktail and DiskWarrior are run periodically for maintenance. I probably run Cocktail every week or so, and DiskWarrior every few weeks just as preventive measures.
Knock on wood, this has been a very stable computer.

Thanks for the reply.
Have tried repairing via pcc, also done a factory reset, disabled some apps and cleared the cache on a few other apps.
Also, tried using different browsers like opera, dolphin and all not being able to play flash properly mainly on youtube.
The only time a youtube vid played properly through the desktop site was when I set the quality of the video to the lowest possible (something like 350p) ?

Ideas and Suggestions for Working with Low Res Video Files

Hi,
A client has asked me to take all of her low res videos she shot with her iPhone and put them on a DVD.
I've made her aware that the end result is not going to be a Hollywood production. I even did a test for her to show the difference between a low res clip and a HD clip. You can see these clips here:
http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/lowrestest.mp4
and
http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/hdtest.mp4
She understands and will fix her camera to shoot high-res next time. Anyway, the footage (330 minutes) I have looks like this when imported into Premiere Pro CS4:
I first just set up a 640x480 timeline and imported one of her clips. It doesn't look too bad. I'm not sure why that green bar is there:
Then I went into the timeline's properties to see if I can somehow enhance it once it goes onto a DVD via Encore:
But i'm not really sure if it's worth fiddling around with a customized timeline. I don't have my hopes up though but I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what they did in this type of situation. It seems like the 640x480 timeline, once brought into Encore and transcoded for the DVD, may work best.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
