Planning in APO with configurable products

Dear Gurus
we would like to use APO DP in order to plan the demand of configurable products managing the demand figures only for a combination of the two main products characteristics (model/version) without having in DP all the complexity of the order configuration.
Moreover we would like to allocate this forecast to the plants and make a rough capacity planning. The levelled forecast (MPS) should then be used to explode the dependent demand of the critical components at SKU level.
In order to manage this process I was thinking to introduce u201Cdummy codesu201D that represent the charatteristics combination and u201Cdummy BOMu201D for the explosionu2026. This in order to be albe to use SNP to perform the capacity planning and BOM explosion.
Other scenario could be to make the capacity planning and BOM explosion only in DP (with planning BOM) but Iu2019m not sure of the feasibilityu2026
Could you advise on which could be a possible approach and if you had such similar issue to face? Thanks in advance

Hi,
Here you may think of using planning product concept. Inshort you may plan on the basis of one of your critical subassembly
and this subassembly wud be consumed for most of the order demands.
Please check if it is suitable for you and revert

Hi Experts,
We are on CRM 6.0. On selection of proceed to check out with configurable products we are getting the following runtime error

We have created configurable product in R/3. Pulled that data to CRM and these products have been added to the catalog.
Are we missing any additional configuration required for configurable products??
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas.

Hi Ram,
We just downloaded configurable products from ECC. Added these products to the catalog, replicated to TREX and checked in the web shop.
What is the procedure for configurable products use in web channel?
Please provide material or useful links if any?

Values for Characteristics entered on Orders with Configurable Products

Hello all,
I have a system that has Configurable Products to be used in Sales Orders. I have a requirement to provide the values stored against some characteriestics for an online report. Can anyone point me in the direction of tables that hold the values entered for characteristics at the order level?
Many thanks,
Jon

Hello,
thanks for your answer.
But I cannot restrict the values for each characteristic, I need to restrict it per material for each characteristic? So where can I do that?
Thanks

Planning for subassmeblies for configurable product

Hi, We are using Material Type = KMAT.
With Variant configuration, customer selects the characteristic values.
This leads to creation of 1st level BOM on saving the sales order.
All these 1st level BOM subassemblies are with procurement type "E" and Special procurement type="52". No GRs are made on these subassemblies.
We get the sales orders throughout the month. To respond to the demand, we intend to plan these subassemblies(without making GRs for the subassmelies) in MRP.
At MRP time, based on sales interactions, upto 60% of the subassembly demand is know.
Question 1:How do we capture the demand of these subassemblies for MRP?
(When sales orders are not created)
Question 2: If these subassemblies are fed as PIR in MD61, will SAP consume the PIRs when sales orders come?
Thanks.

AS I UNDERSTOOD
KMAT material A
its BOM item
B(SPK-52)
C(SPK-52)
B's BOM
B1(stg 70)
B2(stf 70)
You need to have a stg 70 for subassemblies and enter the qty in demand management
You should not use 52 -collective order for 1st level BOM.
Then with stg 70, when you run MRP. Then the requirement for these assemblies are getting netted off with the qty you have enetered in stg 70.
You cannot have Both i.e. 52/sales order and demand plan to net off. i.e.
KMAT material A
its BOM item
B(SPK-52) and stg 70
C(SPK-52) and stg 70
please come back if required

Configurable product in CRM 7.0

Hi all,
has anybody experience with configurable products and product model in CRM 7.0? or is there a detailed manual somewhere?
the way to manage them seems quite different from the previous release in which the PME component was external.
Thanks

Hi,
ECC -> CRM Download of Configurable Products
First of all create the KB and Runtime version for ur configurable products(Variant configuration products ) in ECC. Then activate the IPC, download the KR and Runtime Version (SCE).
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...
and also u need to maintain the IPC server setting in the table COMM_IPC_URL
Using the below report RSVMCRT_HEALTH_CHECK you can check whether the IPC and java stack is active. One more thing to keep in mind is if you ever do changes to XCM component then you need to restart the Java Server everytime.
CRM (Standalone)
From CRM 2007 onward the PME has been replaced with WEBUI. in the WEBUI you create the Configurable products and then create the product model.
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...

I can't answer the Import profile, though could you expand on

In planning i was not able to import Security and planning units. Can you please help?Are you trying to import access permissions using LCM ?
If you are importing security into a target application then I believe that the users will need to exist in the tables before you do so.
I would run the provisionusers.cmd or go into the planning app and go to provision dimension security and click migrate identities.

MTS Production with Configurable Material

Hi Experts,
I am working on IS Mill solution. we also have the configurable material. Normally the client's business is MTO. But in some cases they want to use Make To Stock also. But the problem is for make to stock with configurable material is not possible.
As it is possible if they have APO (IS-Mill functionality). But here we are using ECC-MRP.
Can anybody suggest some SAP note for this??
Thanks in Advance !!
SISL

Hi SISL
I am working at a Danish company named Vestas Wind Systems and we want also to start up doing make-to-stock using configurable material and would like to avoid a very high number of material variants.
We are already using APO in our company (SNP) and therefore I believe it should be a possibility.
Is this tied together with characteristic based planning in APO?? I have heard that this characteristic based planning only is possible on one level, is that also your experience??
I would really like to get my hands on some documentation on how to use SAP ECC and APO to handle make-to-stock of configurable materials, so if you can provide me with such documentation, it would be highly appreciated. It seems like you have some experience in this area.
Thanks a lot in advance.

APO: RRP3 automate Production order creation from planned order ?

Hi everyone ,
I have got a business requirement in APO where in Open sale orders uploaded in R/3, needs to be converted to Planned order and subsequently to Production order in APO-PPDS tcode RRP3 at all stages. They want to automate this process rather than doing it
manually.
Can anyone tell how is this possible . Any BAPI or function module available to do this . Please help.
Regards,
Syed

Hi,
1.You need to run the heuristics Planning of standard lots SAP_PP_002 in /SAPAPO/CDPSB0 by specifying the time profile
and strategy profile, planning version and propagation range, product and location.
2. Convert PPDS Planned Orders created to process orders thru /SAPAPO/RRP7 by specifying the product location start date of the order for production order creation.
Out put of step 1- For sales order requirement, PPDS Planned orders gets created.
Out put of step 2- PPDS Planned orders are converted to production orders.
Thanks,

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.

Is Yosemite compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software like Prinergy Workflow?

Is the new OS 10.10 system compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software? like Prinergy Workflow (incl. the Workshop and Workspace user interfaces as well as the ColorFlow and Preps Client) and Prinergy Evo Client,

Steven,
Thank you for your quick reply and information there in. The video is very nice too. Great angles and composition.
So I guess, I'm going to have swap my drive and re-install my OS when the machine arrives.
I'm not going to be able to capture directly to my desktop (due to poratability reasons). So is there I way in Premire CS3 to uncompress the HDV from the camera and store it in my HDD in uncompressed format? I don't mind having to do this extra step each time if the post production experience is going to be better.
I've heard a lot about Aspect HD from you and others here as well as other forums. I'm not very video savvy yet and don't understand a lot of the vocabulary used :). I've been to their website and don't get what their products are supposed to give me either (I guess their audience understands exactly what they are saying).
What I do get is it decompresses the MPEG 2 to saves it to yout HDD for editing purposes. However, I would have thought the Premier Pro CS3 would have that capability as part of the product, no?
I'd also like to use footage that is not HDV as well as photos/images (composits) but still retain the final cut to be HDV quality. Is this possible and if so, what does it do to the editing experience/performance?
Will I be able to output the final cut back to my camera's Mini DV tape (without having to buy Aspect HD)?
