Planning of similar material

Hello,
Is there a way in SAP to plan / have the planning situation for similar finish goods material toghether?
ex: We produce bicycle for stock and 3 of them are the same except for the seat. So we want to produce the 3 bikes toghether rather than separatly. The demand is different for these 3 products...
Having a notice when planning one of the 3 bike mentionning that 2 others similar bike exist... Or else...
Other than the planning calendar, what can be used in SAP in order to see these 3 products at planning time?
Thank you!
Luc

You are right, we are using special procurement 52.
We are forecasting the finish goods with demand management (MD61).
the subassemblies would be the wheels, the bike frame in my bicycle example... So far, most of the subassemblies are design for one finish good. Meaning that they are not stocked planned separatly. This is why we,re using spec. proc. 52.
Another example would be for the furniture industry. A night table is planned and all the components (subassemblies-top sides drawers...) are produced according to the packaging request X days ahead. If 2 night tables are almost the same (except the color or except the handle) we want to dispatch them at the same time because most of the setup are the same, it's the same product family....
When talking about dispatching in SAP the schedule is already made. I would like to know what's available in SAP to see or group these product before the schedule is made, to suggest a schedule according to the product simillarities...
Another example would be at TOYOTA, when making the Camry, I'm assuming they produce all colors and editions of it at the same time while the basic setups are made... How to they know all the related SKUS? They are planing the CAMRY (family) first and the SKUS are pulled from the family?
Is there such functionnality in SAP or we need to go thru custom development?
Thanks!

Muliple inspection plan for same material and same usage

Hi,
I need to create multiple inspection plans for same material with same usage.during the inspection lot creation i need to select any one inspection plan.
In standard SAP its not possible.Any user exits available for this..
Regards,
S.P.Selvathangam

Dear Selvathangam Palanisamy ,
My Dear Shayamal is absolutely correct and we are corrently using this SAP facility. You can create 'N' number of inspectio plans for a material and then whenever the inspection lot will created ( Thru a process order or Manual) then you will get the Inspection Lot Status 'CRTD' (Created mode) then you have to select your Inspection Task list manually by two way...
Either go to QA02 and then select it from the list of multiple plans.
Or you can directly go from QA32 ...select your inspection lot row and directly click on the Inspection Lot icon to go directly to the inspection lot window to slect the Task list.
Further there is no need to remove the Automatic Assignment from the QM View of the Material Master as if there is only one task List then system will automatically assign the TASK LIST, if you deselect it then you have to select in every case.
Thanks

MIGO GR posting prompt " Read planning situation for material" message

Hi Guru
Need some advice on SAP MM MIGO GR 101 with reference to Purchase Order.
There is a purchase order created for AAC = P project and item category = S 3rd party. It is linked to a sales order which meet 3rd party scenario purchase and delivery directly to customer in the SO.
However, during MIGO GR screen on this PO, system prompted a message below where it took a while (long respond time) and then only post to material document successfully.
Read planning situation for material XXX in plant YYY
XXX = material code
YYY = plant code
Question:
From where this message is triggerred? It is not error, warning, or information message. However, it only appear when we post GR against 3rd aprty scenario purchase order
Please advise

Dear Lyonie
This message seems to be generated dynamically during the save process of GR.
When we click save button in MIGO GR button, there will be number of BAPI/FM will triggered to validate/check and post the data. During this process, some dynamic messages will be displayed for the user about the process. It is very difficult to find out the message triggering point.
Example I can provide , not sure about relevancy , We can observe start of application: Good movement message initially while we execute MIGO.
Still you need to find out about the message, please take help of technical ABAP consultant help to trace out the message triggering point.
warm regards

Planned price in material master default in valuation price in PR

Hello,
I want to default planned price of material master in valuation price of Purchase requisition,
Currently MAP is defaulted in valuation price field in Purchase requisition.
Is this possible by using any user exit?
Regards

Yes this is possible .you have to use the BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and method PROCESS_ITEM if the PR created manuallly or through MRP. Try this User exit also MEREQ001
If the PR created through sales order you could use user exit in sales order program name:SAPMV45A and subroutine : USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ in the include MV45AFZB.
Appreciate if it is helpful

How to reset planned price in material master

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me how to reset planned price in material master.
my user has run ck40n with wrong values, but i am not able to reverse costing run by using ckr1 or ck44. what could be the reason behind this.
even after executing tcode ckr1, i can still see the standard cost in material master.
how to reverse the costing run.
Thanks in advance
Suresh

Hi,
If you want reset you can delete the cuurent planned price in the material master for the cuurent period,
Use t.code CKR1, you have to enter comapny code, plant,material
In control parameters you have to choose radio button Current Standard Cost Estimates
Current Standard Cost Estimates
If you set this indicator, the system will select the current standard cost estimates for deletion.
If you also set the Additive cost estimates indicator, then additive cost estimates will be selected for deletion.

Planning Bill of Material to explode forecast in ASCP 11i.10 .

I like to know if in addition to product familly and model bill of material , the planning bill of material can be used to explode forecast to lower levels and through several levels optionally in ASCP 11i.10 ?

Yes, Planning items and related BOM structures should be supported in 11i10 ASCP. The process is fundamentally the same as it is for Model items.
A key consideration is how you want to consume the resulting forecasts. Planning items are never entered on sales orders, so you will be consuming forecast at the component level below, which are typically models.
You may also want to consider product family relationships for these items. You can consume the forecast at that level and then explode to the lower level items.
For true subassemblies or component forecasting, it is often better to use safety stock in the short term and use a demand time fence to drop the forecast for product family members during that period.

MRP TYPE for Periodic planning in the material master.

Dear gurus,
i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
Example :
I need that the material master don't create a file planned ( MD20- TABLE MDVM) for a change of the requirement situation new , but i would like that the flag in the table ( MDVM) or file of the planning MRP created when the today date is in the period specific.
31.3.2011 (or period 1.4.2011- 10-4-2011)Date for the create a file MRP and after when run MRP planned the material, for others scenary the system must not planned the material.
Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
Thanks a lot
Dani

Dani,
Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

Problem while planning a SET material

Dear sir,
I have an issue related to a material which i am selling as a set material say "A" . I have included 5 componets to sales order BOM of this set material A . all the materials have a valid MRP TYPE PD.But the material A does not have any BOM and Routing because it is not physically manufactured. All the 5 sub items are manufactured.
The sales order is created and the pricing is done at the header item level i.e item "A." When i check in MD04 the system displays an entry of customer oerdewr only for the header item "A" & for all the 5 sub items there is no customer order displayed. Now I run the MRP using transaction code MD01. After this in MD04 the system creates a planned order only for the header item "A" & there is nothing for the sub items.
I have tried the "Phantom Assembly" but this didn't solve the issue as phantom assembly is used when there is a superior assembly present after the header item level assembly. Here there is no superior assembly directly all the 5 sub items are clubbed under the name of the header item, "A".
Please guide me as this is a very important issue.
Regards,
Omkar

Dear,
You need to do the following setting in BOM item for components of A
Stg group for A and other component = 20
Create BOm with usage 3.
In the BOm items make the BOM items relavent for Sales.
Make in such a way that item cat determined via MRP type for A is not relavent for billing and delivey
When you create sales order, system will make the bom of A to explode in sale order and lock A and allow components to delivery.
Hope it is okay with you.

Preventive Maint Plan for Similar Equipment

Dear ALL
I hv 100 similar tpye of equipment. I want to create one maintenance plan for all equipment and want to assign all the equipment in that paln.But problem is when i shedule the plan, plan date is same for all the eqipment but its not possible to comlete all the equipement in single day.
So how i map my all equipment in one maintenance plan when i shedule the plan diffrent plan date occur for different equipment.
Regards
Neelam

hi
For your requirement it will be better if you create seperate maintenance plan for different equipment, since the cycle or counter specified for the maintenance plan is common for all the equipments your planned date will be same .hence it is better to create individual plan for individual equipment

Convert planned orders into material reservation

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert through a standard SAP Program, planned orders (MRP) into a material reservation? Like MD15 converts into Purchase requisitions!
Thanks in advance,
MG

Hi,
I don't think.
- Planned order is procurement proposal. It increases available quatity - you can check it in MD04.
- Reservation is a requirement that reduces your stock (available quantity) - check it in MD04.
E.g.
header material: materialA
children part: materialB
If you have PrdOrd for materialA, at the same time you have a(n order) reservation for materialB. PrdOrd of materialA means that your stock increases (you produce materialA), whilst (order) resrvation of materialB means its stock will decrease because you consume it for PrdOrd.
So, you can see that the nature of PldOrd & reservation is totally different - that's why I think there's no point in speaking about of conversion of a PldOrd into reservation.

Csaba

How to set up the inspection plan for the material in super BOM

Hello,
how to get the accurate inspection plan of the IQC for the material which was class item in a super BOM?
I've gotten the characteristic value from the sales order, and get the PO after MPR. The problem is how to specify the target value and the range of inspection characteristic in inspection plan, because the value is temporary?
Thanks!
Lin

Hello,
I think you need to create MIC which linked with the configuration characteristic, and specify "inspection by configuration" for the inspection type.
then the configuration value in the sales order can be transfered to the inspection lot when production released or goods receipts if you use inspection type 03 or 04. that means the value range for the MIC will be determined dynamically for each sales order.

Can we plan RM & FG Material in MRP planning in a single plant

Hi Sap Gurus,
I have one doubt my client has a requirement
client plans fg (make to stock) material by putting PIR Correspondingly Raw material planed and all raw material having coverage profile according to that requirement got generated.
now client wants to plan the same raw material separately in same plant so i have made that making strategy type 11 in raw material.after that i run mrp after i got requirement considering the coverage profile.
but my clients want for fg material requirement which flows to raw material there coverage profile should be considered but in case of raw material which are plan separately is there coverage not consider is it possible do so
if possible can any body put some light on it.
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep KUMAR Praharaj

Hello Adelino
Strategy 10 is a special business case without consumption and only with the PIR reduction during the delivery (goods issue). You can see in customizing OPPS that both requirements KSL and LFS are set with "No consumption with customer requirements". In this case, BAdI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS is not called.
The BAdI can be used with strategy 40, so please make sure that the consumption indicator of the PIR is set to '4 - Flexible Consumption for Different MRP Elements (BAdI)'.
