Planning for Make to Order

Hi Gurus,
Have a scenario in which the finished goods are manufactured only ones the sales order is received. The components of this material can be produced/procured even before the sales order is received.
This can be mapped using strategy 50.
However, the packing material for the finished product can only be procured ones the sales order is received. How to map this?
Thanks

Hi Mitesh,
you using strategy 50 for header material. then do the below things, you will achive your results
You can achive this by putting individual/collective requirement indicator as 1 in the MRP 4 view of the material master for Packing materials. and for others which you want to work as MTS, you maintain individual/collective requirement indicator as 2.
i hope this should solve issue. worked on strategy before a long time so not sure.

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

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.

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..

Item category determination for make to order item

Hi experts,
how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Neel,
Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

Serial Number assignment in Delivery Note for Make-to-order

Hi experts,
In our current design, we have made it obligatory to enter the serial number in the delivery note for make
to order stocks.
We are also implementing PP and we would like to capture
the serial number specified in the production order and
automatically populate the serial number in the delivery.
Any suggestions on how I can do this is greatly appreciated.

Hi Karun,
Thank you for your kind advice all the time.
I have been looking into it but the LIPS structure does not contain the serial number field...
I have been looking for the routine in the copy control
but have no luck finding such routine...
Thanks for your continuous help and assistance.

Explanation on use of Strategies for Make to Order/ Make to stock scenario

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario. In the BOM, the final Finished Product was to be made for make to order. There are two semi finished material below that. One I want to use it for make to stock and another for make to order. There is one more raw material at the bottom level which I want for make to stock. So I want to know what are the strategies I can use in the material master at all the levels for this scenario. Can anyone explain how can I do it in SAP?
Regards,
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
This indicator will determine the component how it should get produced either individually or collectively
Example
Fert 1 - strategy 20, requirement for this fert Via sales order is 10
Fert 2 - strategy 40 requirement for this fert Via sales order/demand management is 10
ROH is used in both Ferts and mainatined in BOM and also set to indicator 2 ( Colletive ) in MMR
ROH requiement for fert 1 -1 ( BOM )
ROH requiement for fert 2 -1 ( BOM )
after MRP system will create only 1 PR for total qty 20
If ROH is set to 1 ( individually ) then
after MRP system will create 2 PR's as 10 each
Hope it answers your query

Invoice Correction Requests for Make to Order

Dear Gurus
I am creating an Invoice Correction Request for an Invoice which was generated for Make to Order material. I am using Document type RK . I can save Invoice correction Request. But when I generate a Credit Memo it gives message that
000010 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000010)
000020 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000020)
It should not ask for costing here in Credit memo Request.
Even if I do costing for Line 20 it copies only Line 20 in Credit note which gives wrong calculation. Because I cannot change line 10 in Invoice Correction Request.
Pl can you advise whether costing is required in Credit memo request. If not how can I handle this scenario.

Hi,
Just check if you attached status profile to either your sales order header or item.
Just release that first and try again.
Let me know if it helps.

User Steps for Make to Order & Make to Stock

Hi Sapians,
Please guide me as to the users steps to be done in product costing for make to order & make to stock.
Regards,
Viki
Moderator: Please, read the rules of SDN before posting. You can search for Wiki material or explore help.sap.com for basic process description

Hi there,
Make to order is when you manufacture or procure the material only upon order. Stocks are not maintained for those items in the storage loc. As & when the order comes, a production run is triggered through MRP. After the production, stock is posted as reserved sales order stock. Stock is then made available to fulfill the delivery.
Other items are make to stock. Usually for fast moving or consumer goods, stocks are always mainatined in the plant storage loc. As & when the order comes, availability check is done. If stock is available to meet the delivery date, delivery is proceesed or a confirmed delievry date is proposed basing on the replenishment lead time in availability check.

Condition P101 for make-to-order

For stock transport orders, you can use condition type P101 to pull the standard cost of the shipping plant into the purchase order. Is there a similar condition type or routine that can be used for make-to-order product where we can pull the value from the EBEW table of the shipping plant?
thanks,

Hi,
For transfering sale order stock to sub-contractor the movement type is 311-E. Here, you have to create the sub-contractor storage location & then transfer the stock (of BOM material) to sub-contractor storage location by movement type 311-E in transaction MB1B. While posting GRN of the upper material, system posts the consumption of the BOM material against the upper material.
Hope this works.

Create a material(MM01) with Strategy Group :20 ( MRP3)
You can check & confirm all those properties by creating a Sales Order (VA01)
See the effect of it after running the MRP ( MD02),
Check the Results in Stock Requirement List ( MD04)
Also, check the stock level of the same material before the Sales Order &
after the Sales Order
If possible, Create One more Sales Order &
see how the quantities of the individual sales Orders are managed.
You can verify all the prosperities of Make to Order (Strategy :20) by yourself

Planning Strategy for make to order!

Dear Gurus!
       My client has Scenario like this:
              By period they has customer forecast. 1 fininish good may be ordered by many customer.
              Base on this customer forecast, they will buy raw material seprately follow 1 customer (customer want to make sure material buy on time, and they have staff in my client to follow).
              When real sale order come, it will consump forecast (finish good and raw material) by itself.
              IF my client wants to use this raw material for add-hoc case. They must be accepted by customer and buy to full fill.
     Do you have any configure or busness process or whatever solution, please advise me.
     Thank you in advance.
     Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Strategy 50 is for the MTO scenario wherein you do the production specific to the customer, in general words, you cannot swap sales order stock. So you can use strategy 50, as you are saying that it is customer oriented, and definitely customers are going to give orders.
I think are you saying that the raw material for the finished product which the customers of your client are needing can also be used by your own client, right.
Strategy 50 is planning without final assembly so here you can plan for the components for the final assembly without assembling and when the sales order comes then it can consume the PIR (planned independent requirement). So the production is done for the components till the finished product level and kept in stock, then when the sales order comes into picture then this slaes order can consume the PIR.
"IF my client wants to use this raw material for add-hoc case. They must be accepted by customer and buy to full fill." what did you meant by this line ? Please elaborate on this....

Capacity requirement for long term planning and make to order planning

hello,
anybody please guide me.
my client using make to order scenarion and we are doing regulaly MRP run is MD50 with refernce to sales order.
sales orders planning will follow for 2 to 3 months.
at the same time my client wants to do long term planning also. to analize the capacity.
for that he is creatind planning scenario and multi level planning with MS02 also.
But the problem is when they are checking capacity requirement in cm38 it is showing only planning scenario load only. my client wants existing load and longterm planning load also. so they can plan the planning is sutibale in existing plan.
so how can i get both plan in CM 38or is there any other T.code to get that data.
please suggest me
Thanks & Regards

Hi Pierre and Rajesh,
When we create the simulation version, you have the possibility to choose the short-term planning. My point of view is, you can use the LTP fonction to do your scheduling for ex the next 3 months.
I think it's what Pierre did. Am I right ?
between to scheduling scenario to deliver my customer. With the simulation mode I can do my scheduling + use the MRP simulation to check if the raw material are available or not. Then use the MD04 to do the comparaison (or MS04 to compare between 2 scenario).
But I found 2 problems :
First : I don't find the parameters to show in the graphic MFS0, the planed fix order (I can only see the process order)
Second : When my scheduling is finished, I want to update my operational planning with the simulation version. But I don't want to do article by article : when you have 400 references (raw mat, packaging, finish goods) it's impossible (same issue like Pierre)
Have you found a solution for this 2 points ?
