MRP with delivery cycle

Hi,
I have scenario of planning with delivery cycles as below -
1. Material type is VERP (packaging material)
2. We want to have calculations using net requirement calculation as per FG - BOM dependent requirement and we want to run MRP daily to plan this material daily.
3. Our vendor delivers on each monday so all the delivery schedules should fall on monday.
Can I have MRP - PD and del cycles for such material or I have to go with Time Phased planing with requirements.
Please help me with the required configurations and material master settings.
Thanks and Regards,
Amol

Hi,
The problem with Time phased planning is, I need to maintain planning calendar but it may exclude this material in daily MRP run. Please correct me if i m wrong.
Can i maintain MRP planning calendar for daily MRP and Delivery calendar for weekly, if yes then what are the settings need to be done in Calendars and lot size.
Regards,
Amol

Goods Receipt in STO with delivery ( SD Route ) problem

Hi,
there is issue related to Goods Receipt in STO with delivery ( SD Route)
here
1. PO with delivery is created ( SD rote )
2. with reference to above STO outboud delivery & PGI is done
but after this Goods Receipt is done but outbound delivery document is not updated.
Note : as per my understanding here user has done Goods Receipt against STO PO instead of Outbound delivery.
so please guide me so in the future user can not do Goods Receipt against STP PO in the case of STO with delivery cycle. only user can do Goods Receipt against outbound delivery.
Thanks

You have to ensure in your organizational processes that there is no switch between Transactions MB0A/MIGO and VL32/VL32N. please read the note 199703.

What is the difference between Planning cycle and Delivery cycle?

Hi gurus ,
After created the planning calendar for store , I have the same option value for planning cycle and delivery cycle (planning calendar) in the MRP area data for site specific material master , so what's the difference between these two field ?
Thanks in advance ,
Ryan

Hi,
If you have to deal with more complex situations, you can define a delivery cycle in the material master record in addition to the planning cycle. In so doing, you determine the days on whichthe vendor delivers his goods. The delivery cycle is entered in the material master record as a planning calendar in the Planning calendar field.
You enter a delivery cycle if the delivery date (or the goods receipt date) depends on the day on which you order the goods. For example, you carry out the planning run and place your orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you place the order on Monday, the delivery is made on Wednesday, if you wait until Tuesday to place the order, the delivery is not made until Friday
Where as Planning calander is Three character number (numeric or using letters) that specifically identifies a PPS-planning calendar. The difference between Planning calender and delivery cycle is If you have selected the MRP type "MRP" and have set a period lot-sizing procedure according to planning calendar, you enter here which planning calendar is to be used.
If you selected the "time-phased planning" MRP type, the planning calendar that you specify here defines the delivery cycle. This specifies the days on which the vendor delivers the material. You can enter the planning cycle in addition to the delivery cycle

Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Delivery and Billing

Hello Fellow Experts and Friends,
I have a situation at a client in California. The client does Make-to-Order sales. The only materials kept in inventory are raw materials and NREs. This client has plants in several countries around the world but only two are on SAP. The current version is 4.6C.
The scenario goes like this. The plant in China (CC: 2020, Plnt: 0020) wants to order raw materials from the US plant (CC: 1010, Plnt: 0010). If the US plant does not have enough stock in inventory, an order needs to be placed with a local vendor. When all materials a re available to ship,we need to deliver to and invoice the China plant. Additionally, shipment notification needs to be sent to the plant in China.
IWould someone please be so kind as to helpme with a "Best Practice" process flow for Cross-Company STO with Delivery and Billing? I also need guidlines for customizing the process in the IMG. This process must include issuing a PO to a local vendor for ordering additional inventory. For the shipment notification, I was thinking of an EDI Advance Shipment Notice if the receiving plant uses EDI. I need a different option, If the receiving palnt does not use EDI.
I am open to your suggestions.
Thanks,
AJ

Arthur,
Once this is correctly set up it works very, very well. And the cross-company supply scenario is actually fairly simple, streamlined and automated. However, this is NOT such a simple process to set up.
True cross-company supply, all the way through, requires a LOT of configuration which ties in SD, MM, FI, and EDI. It uses "wrap-around" IDocs to do some of the cross-posting in other company codes. There is also the issue of Intercompany markups, as well as Intercompany eliminations.
There are LOTS of folks who do the painful process of the FULL Order to Cash in one company code, and the full Purchase to Pay in the other. But this is NOT the right solution and requires almost twice as much transaction processing.
Just for the Intercompany setup, start to finish, I've been working on a "cookbook" to set up all of the modules for almost 10 years now. I've done it several times, at several companies and it works very well once it is all in place. However, that cookbook document is about 100 pages long (config settings, IMG settings, master data requirements, EDI settings, etc.).
Also, in your scenario you are talking about multi-sourcing parts from other locations. All of the related MRP settings are a separate setup issue.
What you are asking is WAYYYYyyy beyond the scope of forum posting. So if your company or client could use some help, please feel free to contact me.

Workflow for Order to Delivery Cycle

Hi,
I need some help to find the workflows for "Order to Delivery" Cycle.
I want to know whether there is any Standard workflows for this cycle from "Order to Delivery".
My requirement is
1) Marketing Department Generates the Quote with a validity of 2-days.Soon as a quote is created in the system a mail should get triggered to Quality and Production Users.
2) Once the Quotation is converted into the order an alert mail should go to the customer.
3) Once the Goods is produced (once the goods has been accepted by QC) Mail should get triggered to the customer.
4) Once the goods are dispatched Mail alert should get triggered to Production Head.
5) Once LWB is raised the mail alert should be raised to Customer and Accounts Head.
This is the total cycle form Oredr to Delivery.I'am unable to find a standard workflow for this.
Please guide me if there are any standard workflows are available,if not please let me know what is the other alternative.
With Regards.
Pradeep.B

ttpa,
What exactly details you are looking for?
well for your specific condition type you can either use solution described above in post.
Alternatively you can use check FM (go to SWE2 , double click on your BO and event linkage) . Inside check FM will have sales order no. so you can go into condition tables (I think konv/komv) and check it, raise an exception in your FM if you dont want to trigger the workflow.
Cheers

Creating Stock Transport Order with Delivery

Hi All,
I am trying to create an STO with delivery option.
I have been able to complete STO cycle without Delivery - both one step and two step.
However, after choosing Delivery Type NL in SPRO, the ME21n for STO creation gives error - Unable to determine shipping data for Material 427.
Sales org structure has been defined and assignments are complete.
Shipping Point has been defined & assigned to the Supplying Plant.
Recivering Plant has been given a Customer Number and both Receving & Supplying Plants are assigned sales area data. (MM->Purchase Order->Set Up STO)
In Material Master, Loading & Transport groups have been assigned, and all views have been maintained.
Any ideas on the possible cause of error??
Thanks.

MRP with reorder point and safety stock and planning calender issue

Hi,
We are using currently MRP type PD and using Scheduling agreements and after the demand management changes when ran MRP the delivery quantities are fluctating in higher range and vendor complains about it so to avoid this we are constantly changing GR Processing days in material master? how can we avoid the drastic changes on the order quantites on scheduling agreements with out changing GR processing days.
For example : we constantly manufacter 480 vehciles per week and some time because of holidays it will be 320 or 560 per week then the forward scheduling agreement quantites instead of 480 parts week(twice a week delivery) goes up and down and vendor needs a at least a range for his prodcution?
I was thinking to use Reorder point but when i changed the MRP type VB then i cannot see forward scheduling agreements at MD04? does MRP type VB or V1 will allow forward scheduling also like 120 days ahead of planning?
Appreciates everyone time and help.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

you can use MRP time fence to restrict the changes in planning data for specified horizon. For example If MRP time fence = 30 days, no changes in planning data will be allowed for coming 3o days unless you manually intervene.if any new requirements came in this period , they will be planned automatically at the end of this period only.

Below are taken into consideration to calculate Delivery Date

Load a sales order with delivery date in the past

Hi,
We want to load in the system a sales order with delivery date in the past, and maintain the schedule delivery date in the past. To do that, in the customizing Sales And Distribution / Basic Functions / Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling / Define Scheduling By Sales Document Type, I selected the flag Blackwards. But the problem is that the rest of the dates in the scredule line: goods issue date, loading date, material avail.date and transportation Plan Date, are in blank and you cannot enter any data because the system deletes it.
How can I have these dates informed with dates in the past?
Thanks in advance,

You can control this using the "Message Control" in the SAP IMG.
Supplier Relationship Management>SRM Server>Cross-Application Basic Settings>Message Control>Influence Message Control
Using this you convert Error to Warning or even swith off this message.
Please refer this thread for complete steps:
Re: How to change an error message to a warning message in SRM

Scheduling Agreement with Delivery Orders

Hi,
When i create (LZM)scheduling agreement(Qty 10) with Delivery orders, when i create deklivery schedule
ie
Date                Qty
25.10.2008      1
26.10.2008      1
27.10.2008      1
in MD04 for that particular material i can see only requirement for cumulative Qty i.e. 3, & PP guy is not able to create planned order for those dates unless i create delivery Order(TAM) for the same
whats the solution for this?
Regards,
Amol.

Hi Suresh
The *** issued qty gets updated when the PGI for the delivery happens. There is a field called *** received by customer and it gets updated when customer sends the *** back in the 830 or 862 as the case may be.
The difference between the *** issued and the *** recieved is always shown in transit.
If you do not want the schedule line to be opened up, then in *** recd change it to the *** issued or ideal option is populate the last delivery PGI'd on the delivery number field next to *** recd field. Hope this helps and let me know if you need any more informataion

Issue on Purchase order creation with Delivery schedule line items per PR

Hi
Note->Developed inbound FM to create PO's in SAP through IDOC.
We are creating purchase orders from vendor which is coming from Inbound IDOC. Here we are using as BAPI_PO_CREATE1
to create PO's. before that i am passing all the inbound data of the IDOC and getting some Purchase requisions for plant and material wise from EBAN table where we have open PR's and split the inbound line item qauntity as per Open quantity in Purchase requisions. Problem here we are modifing schdule line data as per purcahse requisitions and post the all the shehduline data into above functional module, we are using creation date as delivery date in the scheduling line for each line.
Set1- If we have multiple requisions for each material and plant in the inbound IDOC item , while creating PO using above BAPI
creating PO with delivery date is taken from Purchase requesion date, this only will happend in the first schudle line item always, second line scheulde has taken correctly from creation data as delivery date.
Set2-If we have one requisition for each line item, it will creating correctly for schulding line item as with correct delivery , whcih is not taken from requstion delivery date.
Set 2 is working correctly, but Set1 has problem with delivery date in the scheduling lines particulary for first schduling line item.
Please help me on this issue.
Advance wishes

Hi Satish
Thanks for the reply.
I checked the parameters and it is creating 2 PO when the Indicator Ordering address is set.If I uncheck this Indicator then only one PO is created.
But now my question is from where is the Ordering address taken because for both line items Vendor is same and ordering address is also same.
Then why the system is creating new PO?

Edited by: SIBICA on Dec 7, 2011 3:38 PM

Hi,
The error could mean that system is unable to determine the storage bin for stock removal.
Please check the settings for the following in IMG:
1. Storage type search for your material - whether suitable storage type indicators have been defined & assigned for picking for your warehouse.
2. Stock removal strategy - whether system is able to find the storage bin having the stock for removal.
Also check material master WM view for storage type indicators.
