Planning on SLoc level in SNP

We have a need to plan the replenishment of a plant on two different storage location levels. The same material numbers exist in both storage locations, but due to excise requirements certain customers (in a different country) will be supplied from the one storage location and other customers (in the same country as the plant) will be supplied from the other.
Our forecast in APO DP is split in two different forecast areas, but when the forecast is transferred to SNP we lose visibility of the forecast area as SNP is based on product location.
We would like to know if it is possible to plan on a storage location level in APO SNP ?

Sure... you can do anything if you manually create new locations in APO.
Otherwise, if you want to CIF them from ECC, you will need MRP Areas.

Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

Hi all,
We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
2 - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
Curr-Currency of the Cocd
Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
Only all items- blank
Credit-X
Transfer DL-X
Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
Hope it clarifies.....
Thanks,
Amlan

Copying Header level Billing Plan to Item Level Billing Plan

Hi Gurus,
I have the following Business Scenario:
I am creating Sales Order with reference to contract. In the sales order item level detail, a check box(Copy Header level Billing Plan to item level Billing Plan) is checked. For my Business Scenario, I do not want this check.
Could you please help me in making the configuration changes to remove this check box.
Regards,
Nish

Dear
I hope just try once
When you assign Copy Header level Billing Plan to item level Billing Plan That header level billing plan data also will come to item level it means you can change in item level
if you dont want this function in item level -- Billing plan ..Just remove the check box
Then you cant find please try it and let me know
Thanks a lot

Easy Cost Planning at Network Level

Hi All,
I was able to implement ECP at WBS level, but not able to implement at network level. I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4.
I have activated the business function ops_ps_ci_1 and also activated the 'Activate Planning for Network Activities with Easy Cost Planning' in the configuration settings in SPRO-IMG. I had gone through most of the threads on this topic like :
Network Activity Easy Cost planning
ECP at activity level not triggered
I am not able to find the option for 'Create Alternate CO Version' and 'Activate Multiple CO Version' under the Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services in SPRO-IMG.Please advise me in implementing Easy Cost Planning at Network Level and correct me if I was wrong in completing the configuration steps.

Thanku All,
I have done all the steps as you mentioned
1. Activated the business function OPS_PS_CI_1.
3
2.
3.
Activated Multiple Plan Version using the tcode RCNPRECP
Still not able to view the options under SPRO-IMG Easy Cost Planning
* Create Alternate CO Version
* Activate Multiple CO Version
Also not able to implement ECP at network level.

Replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.

Hi Experts,
As per the requirement from client, we need to configure the setting of replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.
I am using below settings in R/3 for achieving the expected results.
(R/3 ) MRP1 u2013
Lot size                       HB               Replenish to maximum stock level
Maximum stock level      20,000
(APO) Targ.Stk Lvl Methd   5 u2013 in APO u2013 product master -   lot size tab.
Still, after heuristics run, the requisitions are getting created equals to forecast value. It should get generated as max. stock level maintained.
Could anyone share their experience regarding this? Am I missing some additional setting?
Inputs are highly appreciated!
rgds/Jay

Dear Jayprakash ,
If the requirement is that you have to replenish upto a certain stock level then instead of maintaining the Max Stock level you can simply maintain
SB : Safety stock from product master
and in the Safety stock field maintain the quantity as desired ( in this case 20000 ) . This probably will solve the problem in your case . You may not require to maintain Max stock level .
Target stock level in heuristics also works fine with the following settings
make sure you maintain
Target stock level method as =5
In Maximum Stock level = maintain the quantity desired ( 20000 in your case say )
do not maintain any safety stock method keep it blank .
then location heuristics generates PR according to the the maximum stock level.
If still it is not working plz let me know what other settings you are maintaining probably we will find a way out .
Hope it helps .
Thanks

Planning at higher level

Hi all,
We are implementing multiple Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting. Budgeting and Forecasting will be done at the base level whereas Planning is done at the higher level. Now the concern I have is in BPC we can not post data at parent level so is it even possible to Plan at higher level.
If yes, then how can we do it. Please share your views.
Thanks,
Diksha.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your reply. I have some more questions on this document.
1. If I want to plan at a much higher level , will this BADI work. Say for example: the base level members are at level 6, I want to plan at level 2 or level 3. Will it still write the records to level 6 members though they are not immediate dependants.
2. In the example given in the document, both the base level members and the parent member is in the input schedule. If I don't have the base level members shown in the input schedule, and I only have the parent member, will this BADI still post data to the base members.
For example: I have some 500 base members to one parent node. I don't want to display the 500 base members. I will only have one parent member in the input schedule and post data to that member only. Will it still say that 500 records are submitted.
How is the scoping done for this BADI. Generally for the default logic, scoping will be based on the members on the input schedule.
Thanks

Planning at daily level and weekly reports ?

Dear Experts,
Will be advisable to do Planning at daily level and weekly reports in 7.5 NW?
Any body did these kind of project earlier ? Kindly provide suggestions / recommendations please...
Thank you,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
We had done a planning at the daily level. However, the scope was also small for this planning scenario.
The main point is that in case of daily planning, the volume of the data might get too high. Any complex manipulation of the data might take a longer time due to the huge volume of the data.
Hope this helps.

SAP PP-Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level witho

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls explain the Strategy u201C Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level without final Assembly (74)u201D and pls give any examples if possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Planning at Assembly Level (70)
Purpose
This planning strategy is particularly useful for manufacturers of products with variants if a more
reliable forecast can be produced for certain assemblies than for the multitude of product
variants.
Prerequisites
You must maintain the master data of the assembly as follows:
Strategy group 70 on the MRP screen.
Set the indicator for assembly planning, the Mixed MRP indicator, to 1 on the MRP
screen.
Consumption parameters (Consumption mode, Bwd consumption, Fwd consumption on
the MRP screen) to allow for consumption of planned independent requirements.
If you are using this strategy in a make-to-stock environment, you also must set the
Individual/coll. indicator to 2 on the MRP screen.
Reduction
Consumption
This strategy is very similar to Planning with Final Assembly (40) However, planned
independent requirements are consumed by production order requirements (or schedule lines in
repetitive manufacturing) and not to requirements of sales orders.
1. Stock for the assembly usually exists.
2. Planned independent requirements are entered at assembly level. Procurement (planned
by means of the planned independent requirements) is therefore triggered before the
production order stage (or schedule line in repetitive manufacturing).
3. The planned orders for the assembly/components are convertible.
4. Procurement smoothing according to order demand is possible. In this strategy,
however, the ability to react flexibly to customer requirements is more important.
5. An accurate availability check is performed according to ATP logic during production
order processing.
6. Requirements from production orders (or schedule lines) are passed on to production
and can lead to changes to procurement after the sales order stage, if the order
quantities exceed the planned independent requirement quantities. However the order
quantities cannot be confirmed if there is insufficient coverage of components. The
system automatically adjusts the master plan. For more information see Coping with
Insufficient Coverage of Components .
7. The planned independent requirements are consumed during the production stage. This
means that you can compare the planned independent requirements situation with the
actual order requirements.
Unconsumed planned independent requirement quantities increase the warehouse stock of the
component, and cause procurement to be decreased or not to take place at all in the next period.
This procedure is called "netting."
Sample Scenario: Strategy 70
Process Flow
This example is based on a production plan in which 100 pieces are planned for <reqdat1>,
<reqdat2>, and <reqdat1>.
Stage 1: Demand Management
1.In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as follows for the
production plan.
Period indicator Reqmts date Planned qty Value
T (= day) <reqdat1> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat2> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat3> 100 10,000.00
The system will find requirements type VSFB because the strategy group has been set
to 70.
2. The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics
Production   MRP   Evaluations   Stock/reqmts list) displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100 -
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 200 -
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 300 -
Stage 2: Procurement Before Use in Production
1. A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run (Logistics   Production   MRP
Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> PlOrd. 123/STCK 100 100
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat2> PlOrd. 124/STCK 100 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
This procurement requisition is the starting point for production or external procurement.
You have a variety of options for handling the procurement process in the R/3 System.
One possibility would be to convert the planned order into a production order, release of
the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible,
however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.
2. After goods receipt for the order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/SDeb 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Stage 3: Production Order and Allocation
A production order that uses the planned component is created (Logistics   Production
Production control   Order   Create).
An availability check is performed in the order (Component   Availability   Check availability).
In this example, it is assumed that production is 50 pieces of the material and the
material has an in-house production time of zero.
A popup appears containing the following information:
Requirements date <today>
Requirements quantity 50
Availability check (checking group) 02
ATP quantity 200
Confirmation date <today>
Confirmation quantity 50
This availability check is always performed according to ATP logic. See Availability Check [Page
157].
The production order quantity, which is not visible in the production order, is allocated to the
component quantity. You can, however, control the allocation in the stock/requirements list or in
the total requirements list. The total requirements list displays the following information:
Requirements type Date Allocated quantity Total quantity
VSFB 300
<reqdat1> 100
RESE <reqdat1> 50
<today> 50
<reqdat2> 100
<reqdat3> 100
After creation of the production order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<today> OrdRes SZ-10 50 - 150
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Any parent material that consists of this component is automatically allocated to this plan. In
practice, there are several header materials (like SZ-10 in this example) that allocate this
material.
Stage 4: Procurement After Production
This does not apply to this strategy.
Stage 5: Goods Issue for Production Order
After goods issue for the production order (Logistics   Materials management   Inventory
management   Goods movement   Goods issue), the stock/requirements list displays the
following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 150
< reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Hope this helps.

Planning Job Aggregation Level

I am running a Background Job (Univariate Forecast Profile). My Selection Profile excludes 3 single values can I still run the model at this level of aggregation "total" excluding those 3 single values. Running the model at the Total should be more accurate than running the model for 22 single values and summing the forecast. For some reason a forecast is no longer being produced? I do get the warning Characteristic of selection not part of aggregation level. I didn't notice any problems the last couple months.
Thanks, experts!

Thanks Guarav, please see my comment below.
Ok, I believe I have resolved the issue. I am going to summarize my previous process.
1.Created a Master Profile (forecast) for each Strategy I wanted to test. I would use the same Master Profile even if I changed the Parameters in the Univariate Profile.
2.Used the same forecast Activity, changing each time I changed the Strategy. Planning Job would remain the same.
3.By creating a New Activity & New Planning Job my forecast model appears to be running correctly. The only items I continue to select in the Planning Job Aggregation Level are SourceSystem and Product.
It Appears the best methodology is to set up a separate Master Profile/Univariate Profile for each Strategy & set of Parameters. A separate Activity & Planning Job should also be set up for each Strategy & set of Parameters. This would also have to be done in order to add to an overnight (monthly) Process Chain.

Capacity Leveling in SNP SCM 5.0

Hi,
I want to use the SNP heuristic followed by capacity leveling in order to enable my customer to check capacity requirements in terms of machine and people resources. The particular requirements are:
1. no backward/forward capacity leveling
2. level the capacity across alternate resources
I don't see how I can do 2 without doing 1. I haven't seen a parameter about the number of days allowed in backward/forward leveling (which I would set to zero or to a low number e.g. 2 days)
Best Regards,
JL

I dont think you should be using the standard capacity levelling functionality at all if you are not going to level it forward or backward
What you need to think of is planning using Aggregated resources.
In a nutshell you creatae new header resources that are of capacity equivalent to your resources plus alternate resources
Do SNP plannign on the aggregated ( header )resource
Level or trim any excess capacity requirements (levelling wouldve done this for you but you got to specify the direction)
Disaggregate to the member resources based on some disaggregation rules (or you can customize this)

Planning design and Manufacturing in SNP heuristic

We want to SNP plan the 'Design' and 'Manufacturing' processes to determine the start dates and capacity requirements for these processes. We are using SNP heuristic for planning.
We have modeled Design and Manufacturing in separate locations. We have an issue with modeling
For example the demand for SKU1 is 10,000 and SKU2 is 5,000
- Manufacturing Capacity is driven by the total quantity i.e. 15,000 (10,000 + 5000)
- Design Capacity is driven by number of SKUs i.e. 2 (SKU1 and SKU2). The quantity that drives manufacturing can change, but design is affected only by the number of SKU that should be designed
How can we model this in SNP?
A Dependant demand from manufacturing will be a function of the quantity and not a function of # SKU. Since the quantity varies by period, we can't maintain a ratio of quantity to # SKU also.

We are planning at an aggregated level (hundreds of SKU in an APO product). The number of SKUs in an APO product change over time. The product mix changes frequently and new SKU add / replace exisitng SKU.
But only the number of new SKU is relevant for design and manufacturing is driven by the total volume (of both old and new SKU).
I am currently thinking of an enhancement which will calculate the ratio of (volume / new SKU) per period and use it in the PPM. Is there a better way to model this contraint?

Availability check with MRP area at Sloc level

HI We have MRP area at storage location level maintained for materials. Stock exists in the plant in the storage location which is part of the MRP area.
Now when I create STO and try to create delivery for the same, system is giving message 0 stock available and not creating delivery. Material has 02 Avl Chck group.If I deactivate the MRP area in the material master, it allows creation of delivery.
How can I ensure that system creates delivery even though stocks exist in MRP area relevant sloc only in the plant?
Sriram

I am sure you have already moved on from this issue, but what you mention is a limitation prior to ECC 6. You can not identify on the purchasing document the source sloc of the supplying plant. This is why you can not create the STO between sloc MRP areas. I was told this was resolved in ECC 6.

Planned Orders -Order level & Order path fields

Dear all,
In Planned Orders , in the components tab , the following fields are assigned/populated with some values by the system.
Order level
Order path
Assy Order Level
Assy Order path
Please clarify , on what basis or what is the logic behind this ?
Thanks,
Sheik

Hi Sheik,
I can't see in the online display of a planned order any of the fields that you have mentioned.
Nevertheless, these fields exist in RESB table; in my understanding they are used by SAP inner logic, and am not sure that they make any sense for other use.

Mario
