Planning Horizon & Direct procurement

Hi, how touse the tabs planning horizon & direct procurement in oppr screen while running mrp?

Hi Yadav
The Settings of
1) Planning Horizon in OPPR is meant for using Processing key - -NETPL (Net change for planning horizon) during MRP run : If u maintain the data say 100 days in this field that mean only those materials are planned in the planning run that have a change relevant to MRP within the period (in work days).The length of the planning horizon should at least include the following:
period in which customer orders enter
delivery times
complete material processing time
This setting is useful to restrict u r planning Horizon length to defined no of days say 100 days
2) Direct Procurement : The setting controls whether direct procurement is initiated by the planning run or by the production order.Using this indicator, you can procure non-stock items directly for an order, bypassing the warehouse.Direct procurement for "parts to be provided" is not supported in subcontracting.
U have to use Special Procurement key in Material master

Which movement type to show Directly Procured material in stock?

Hi All
Is there another movement type that I can use to reverse from a network, Directly Procured material in to stock?
Our issue is that we plan and have delivered directly procured material to out production plant (Plant A) and the PO has an account assignment of 'N'. The production team then decide (due to unforseen issues) that they do not need it anymore for that network/WBS and want to send it to our central warehouse (Plant B)
In order to recover the cost from the network, we process MB1A mvt 222 with reference to the WBS in Plant A and then stock transfer to our central warehouse, Plant B
My question is....can we use another movement type to remove the cost from the project/network/WBS and return the material in to stock?
I don't want to reverse the PO but can i use that as a reference?
Your help is appreciated
Regards
Darren

MB1A transaction is a goods issue
goods issues are valuated with the material master valuation price.
in goods issues you cannot reference purchase orders (this is only possible in receipts)
there is no goods receipt transaction for material which was already received against a PO.
You credit the network with the leading price from material master, there is no value flow in the opposite direction. But you can control the valuation if you allow external value entry in the movement, which is usually not liked by auditors, especially as such movements are executed by warehouse personnel

Directly procured materials in stock help

To All
We currently have a problem when dealing with directly procured materials.
Following a completed build of our product we have a surplus of directly proceured materials that have been ordered in error or are a result of specification changes.
We want to re-use them for future demand. Therefore, we return them from a network and put into our warehouse and in a bin. The problem arises when the planners create a new demand because the material master data will order the part as a directly procured part and will 'not see' the one we are showing in stock.
Therefore, my questions is, can a part be set up to look for stock initially and if no stock then order part as a directly procured part?
Thanks in advance
Darren

Saleel
The material IS in stock showing in the same Plant, Sloc and Warehouse that the planners use to plan the completed product.
The material is in stock as it has been returned from the network (MB1A mvt 222) However, the material is planned in a BoM as a directly procured part as per the material master settings. When a new demand is loaded in the system, according to the material master settings it will order a directly procured part and not utilise the stock in the warehouse.
I am looking for help that when a demand is loaded, SAP will reserve the stock of a directly procured part and not order externally.
Movement 561 is an initial stock load movement type and is not recommended at any other time due to the lack of financial documents albeit a very easy way to load inventory. We use LICC/LX16 to adjust inventory in accordance with auditing rules.
Thanks you for your response

Rounding value for direct procurement

Hi,
I an sourcing the same material from another plant within the same client. The materiale is some times purchased as a standard material using rounding value and going to stock. But, in some cases the material is procured as direct procurement. When purchasing for direct procurement will it then be possible not to use the rounding value but just order the exact quantity?
thanks,
Anders

Hi Andres,
I think, you do not need to take any action on this requirement. SAP works the way you wanted, by standard. For example, you have a setup with a vendor (may be via info record or material master itself may have rounding qty etc)...not a problem. The parameters you use in material master will control for procurement process either triggered from planning (or production ) or manual purchases. When you create a SO# and if it triggers a purchase requisition, it sends exact quantity required only, into the preqs. By standard SAP config, the message about rounding rules is just warning. I don't think you will be stuck with this message when you try to convert the 3rd party Preq to PO. Even if there is a message, it must just warning.
Let me know with these inputs, if you test both types of PO#s, how it goes.

Planning Horizon Issue

Hi All,
We have maintained planning horizon of 40 days. Kindly suggest if procurement proposals can be created beyond 40 days of planning horizon.
regards,
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
We maintain the planning horizon to shorten the MRP planning run. The system then only plans materials that have undergone a change relevant to MRP within the planning horizon
In your case an MRP run will not create the procurement proposals beyond 40 days. However, you can still create the procurement proposals manually.

Pradeep.

Planning Horizon Effectiveness

Dear Experts,
Can some one explain me what does the planning horizon in MRP mean?
In OPPQ,we have defined Planning Horizon as 180days.
What I would like to know is that,How this 180days are considered?Whether the Factory calender is considered? whether it is 180 days from the MRP run date or how?
I need to know this as my actual aim is to find out the reason behind the creation of system proposed Planned Orders. The system is considering the newly arriving Purchase orders only if it si scheduled before 10June09 and suppose if it is 11June09 the system proposes a Planned Order for the items.(But 11June is not 180days either from today's date or from the begining of 2009)
Please reply...
Points assured...
Regards,
Bhavin

During MRP you might be using Create Purchase requisition indicator 2 - Purchase requisitions in opening period. if you have set indicator 2 (Purchase requisitions in opening period), the system only creates planned orders for procurement after the opening period. Within the opening period system creates purchase requisitions.
When you select this indicator, the system creates purchase requisitions instead of planned orders when it determines an opening date that is before the date of the planning run

System considers dependant requirements lying outside planning horizon

Hello Experts,
Iam running the MRP for procurement. I have defined a planning horizon so that system will consider the requirements of that period. Iam using NETPL as my planning method in MRP. I wanted to create only purchase requisitions during this period so I selected 1 as my creation indicator as well.
But the issue Iam facing is, system is not skipping the dependant requirements which is outside planning horizon. System skips only PIRs.
For all the dependant requirements outside planning horizon, system creates planned orders and for those within plannning horizon system creates purchase requisition. Is there any settings to skip system considering dependant requirements outside planning horizon.??
Thanks
Prathib

Hello
I believe that there is a misunderstanding about what exactly is the planning horizon. Using a planning horizon does not means that the requirements outside the horizon will not be planned.
The planning horizon represents a part of the planning area, where a planning file entry is made for the MRP processing key net change planning in the planning horizon (NETPL).
In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to MRP within the planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials receive a net change planning indicator in the planning file.
That means, if an MRP relevant change is made for a material within the planning horizon, the planning file entry NEPLT is set for this material.
You can check in the SAP Help how the planning horizon works, see below:
"You can also use a planning horizon to further limit the scope of the planning run. In "net change planning in the planning horizon", the system only plans materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to the planning run within the period which you defined as the planning horizon. The system sets the net change planning horizon indicator automatically for these materials."
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/f4/7d274f44af11d182b40000
e829fbfe/frameset.htm
So, the planning horizon only define is the planning file will be marked as "net change planning".

MRP looking past planning horizon?

Dear Experts,
We have a material that exists on a purchase order. The material is a HALB, with MRP Type = PD and
Procurement Type = F (purchased). The Planning Horizon for the plant is 180 days and there is no planning horizon defined for MRP Group. The Purchase Order has a delivery date of 12/31/2009 (well past the horizon). But, Purchase Requesitions are not being created during the MRP run. The MRP settings we are using are NETPL, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1.
It is acting like it is looking past the planning horizon and seeing the purchase order that is far out in the future.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
Thank you,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,
The 250 days is workdays & not calendar days & hence it is beyond 31/12/2009. This is the reason why the system is considering the PO.
If you're in test system, you can test by increasing the delivery date of the PO say to 31/12/2010 & run MRP, it would create a procurement proposal.
Hope it answers your query.
If helpful award points

Vivek

Planning horizon problem

Hi all,
I have 2 materials (purchased items with proc type F) say A & B. A is assigned with MRP group 100 & B is assigend with MRP GRoup 200.
PLanning horizon for group 100 (mtl A) is 3 months. and PLanning horizon for group 200 (mtl B) is 18 months.
Now i am running the planning with "NETPL" key (net change planing in pl horizon) (md02)
For mtl A the system generates procurement proposals (PR) for 3 months & for the next period PR are not generated. And during the planning run the end of planning horizon is diplayed considering the 90 workdays.This is happening as desired.
But for mtl B the system generates procurement proposals (PR) for 20 days only which is equal GR time + planned del time + Purch. Process. Time and during the planning run the end of planning horizon is diplayed as per the said sum.
Please provide help on the said problem as I am having the need of the same?
Thanks and Regards,
MHP

Hi Bramhankar,
Thanks for the reply.
I did not get your point. Can you please explain in detial?
What is the role of planning calender in this case?
There is no question of FG & dependent requirements.In fact there are PIR of "VSFB" type since the material is having strategy 70.
Hope to get the reply.
Thanks & Regards,

Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS

Hi,
Can you diffrentiate between Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS.
thanks
Aki

Hi Aki,
Direct Procurement
Raw Material and Production Goods
Order Qty: Large
Value: Industry specific (Like shirt in apparel industry)
Direct procurement supports the conversion of planned requirements to purchase orders.
Primary Processes-Direct Procurement
1. Determination of the materials and services required.
2. Create requisition.
3. Request for the quotation.
4. Quotation Management.
5. Vendor selection.
6. Create Purchase Order.
7. Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
8. Invoice Verification/ Vendor Payment.
Indirect Procurement
Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies
Order Qty: Low
Value: Generic (Machine Spare Parts in any industry)
Indirect procurement supports the purchasing of indirect materials and subcontracting.
This process can be dealt with using standard functions such as material requirements planning, purchase requisition, stock transport order, transportation planning and the handling of internal deliveries.
The cross-plant, internal procurement of materials can be carried out within one company code (intercompany) or by using several company codes (cross company).
Primary Processes-Indirect Procurement
1. Requisitioning
2. Purchase Order Management
3. Receiving
4. Financial Settlement
Hope it helps.

Direct Procurement

Hi All,
I have a ROH which has direcet procuremnt (53) and planned delivery time of 2 days in matl master.
BOM of FERT has only this ROH.
When I create production order with "Current Date" scheduling, the purchase requistion is created automatically for the ROH. A scheduling log is created for a warning message "Can delivery date for material ROH be kept? Realistic date: 05.03.2009. System sets delivery date of ROH to past date.
My requirement is since this is direct procurement process, the system should propose the delivery date for ROH as 2 days from current date (Plnnd Delivery time) accordingly production order "Schduled start" date should be postponed for two days eventhough it is current date scheduling.
Looking forward your valuable answers.
Thanks
Guru

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already checked the setting for "Start in past". It is unchecked only.
Moreover this setting is for order start date related. It will not contol PR/PO delivery date.
The system need to consider planned delivery time of ROH before scheduling the production order.
Thanks
Guru

Direct Procurement for BOM component

Hi there,
If we want to use direct procurement for BOM component then where do we set the indicatior in BOM. I am not able to find the same in BOM.........??
Please advice me ....
Regards
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
Maintain Direct Procurment is OPPQ-Plant paramaters. Here you specify whether the direct procurement is triggered by the Planning Run or the MRP.
And also maintain a key for Special procurement Direct Procurement in OPPQ.
Please assign Special Procurement Key as Direct procurement is MRP-2 view of material master.
Thanks and regards

Getting an error while activating a planning area "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"

Dear S&OP community,
I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
This what I did...
1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
2) Time profile created and activated successfully
3) Trying to create planing area by assigning time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns
this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
My understanding is time profile needs to be active but doesn't have to have values...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

YS,
Here are my time profile settings
Level       Name          Display Horizon - Past Display Horizon - Future
