Planning strategies..

Hello PP Gurus
need a help!
My requirement ..I want to plan like below...
As son as sales order is coming it should see the current stock ..and if its not fully caters the sales order qty..it should generate the requirtement....
I know ..this can be done with stretagy 40
Now the key thing..i want tht this requirement should be booked as sales order stock which i am unable to do this with PS-40..
Can someone give me an idea which stretagy to use..or i should make a custom one..pl let me know the parameters for this..
thanks..

Hello Sam,
As you said, this requirement can not be fulfilled by Strategy 40 or infact with any other standard strategy..
How about allocating the existing stock to sales order stock (Special stock) immediately after receipt of sales order..
Yes, I agree that this may be transactional overhead on the end users...

Question : Different planning strategies in SAP PP

Hi PP gurus ,
Help me in understanding purpose with suitable example different planning strategies say Strategy 10 , 11 , 20 , 30 , 26 , 40 and 50 . Find below an
example for which how the above said strategies will act wrt .
Ex : You have Unrestricted stock of say X = 100 pcs and stock in quality
         inspection is X = 10 pcs .
         You have PIR ( X ) = 100 pcs , Production order( X ) = 50 pcs ,
         Sales order( X ) = 150 pcs , Production order against sales order (X) =150
         pcs , Inprocess (X) = 30 Units , sales order stock (X) = 25 units .
       Thanx in advance
       Regards,
       Raj

Raj,
Have you gone through the help doc for planning strategies:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
In overall terms:
In make to stock - 10, 11, 40
In MTS the general stock and general prod orders in warehouse are considered incalculating the net requirement. The diff between 10 and 11 is that in 11 irrespective of Warehouse stock prod takes place as per Planned Ind requirements. But in 10 the warehouse stock is considered.
In MTO (20/ 50):
The sales order stock and prod order w.r.to sales order aone is considered.
Hope this will give you an overall idea.

Planning Strategies to Stock - Consuming the forecast (PIRs)

Hello,
I want to use planning strategies 10 or 40 (to Stock) but I have a doubt about the funcionality of "Consuming Forecast"
What happens in strategy 40 or 10 when the sales orders/Goods Issues will not consume the total forecast in a specific month (PIRs) ?
What happens to the PIR of that month?
How does this effect the planiing funcionality in the upcoming months?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hi,
The consumption of the PIRs is controlled by definition in MRP View of the consumption logic.
There you can say if it consumes in the past and/or future, and how long into each direction.
Unconsumed PIRs in the past need to be adjusted (there's a transaction for that).
Since both 10 and 40 are MTS, so if at the end of the month there are PIRs left that were not consumed, normally you should have the relevant quantity against that plan as stock. So, as I said, you adjust the unconsumed PIRs, and the stock is carried to the next period, and covers (in part) the next month's PIR (plan), and so on.
This way, if you sold less than was planned, but produced it to stock, it is not wasted, but will be used to produce less in the following periods.

Regarding planning strategies

Hi,
Dear Experts,
I have some confusion about strategies which i want to discuss which is as follows,
For MTS -10
MTD-20
Production with final assemble-40 etc.
Is is correct that i am using for make to stock,
for ROH-10, SFG-10, FG-40.
if not please tell me what are the others which i have to use also want to know more about how a industry choose a planning strategy.
Your suggesstions are weelcome.
Thank you.

Hi,
Make to stock: These are the following strategies 10,30,40 and 70 used in MTS
In a made-to-stock scenario, the incoming customer requests are fulfilled from the inventory. The made-to-stock products are normally the consumer products or products which have a monopoly market and are sold out of the existing inventory. Such products are developed and produced continuously over the years till the product comes to the end of its life cycle.
In such scenarios, the shop floor or the production team never knows, for whom the product is being produced. The customer demands and the market situations can only be forecasted and used as a basis for future production. In SAP the forecasted quantity is evidently used in a form of planned-independent-requirement.
Made-to-stock production quantities are entered in SAP through the use of u201CPlanned independent requirementsu201D (transaction code MD61) which are subsequently planned by SAP MRP run. The planned independent requirements can be entered manually or the requirement can be pulled in from forecast or it can be pulled in from the sales and operation information structures (information structures which carry the sales information at levels defined by the organization).
Make to Order: Strategy no 20 and 50 used in MTO
In a make-to-order scenario, the incoming customer requests are accepted and produced thereafter and ultimately delivered to the very customer. The example of such a scenario can be high end products like jewelry or high end equipments or very costly product. These products are normally configured by the customer and the order is produced according to the customer requirements or by the design provided by the customer. The Sales order is created or configured according to the customer requirements and passed on to the production team.
In such a scenario, the tracking of the sales order from its creation to planning to production to inventorying to delivery can be easily tracked unlike in made-to-stock scenarios, where the incoming sales orders are not tracked in the plant, but are fulfilled by the existing stocks.
Coming to your question, using of strategies is purely depends on the business requirement. If it is make to stock, then you can use the same way you have posted (ROH-10, SFG-10, FG-40)
Hope it clears your doubt.

MRP Planning strategies

Dears,
can you please advice if SAP Business one supports the MRP environment where the Forecast is maintained on subassembly level and the real demand comes for Finished product with the S/O or demand requirements upload.
It is used for industries where the final product has multiple variants, but there is set of components which are same for all variation.
So is there any possibility to have in SAP B1 anything like Planning strategy 63 in R3? Something like Make to order environment with planning material at a phantom level in BOM?
thanks.

Hi,
How about:
1. MRP strategies: 40;
2. having an Order BOM with component of Phantom HALB.

Planning Strategies 10 and 40 with Stock Transfer Orders for consuming PIRs

Hello,
I have the following situation in a Client:
One Production Plant (1000)
There exist various Plants to sell products.
The production Plan (PIRs) I create in Plant 1000 (MD61). Monthly buckets.
The planiing strategy I want to use is 40 or maybe 10 (both to Stock).
Consumption of the materials in plant 1000 is via:
1. Stock transfer orders to other plants (with Shipping funcionality) (about 80% of the shipping form plant 1000)
2. Sales Ordes with shipping (10%)
3. Transfer postings from one plant to another (303 - 305 movement type) (10%)
How can I make sure that all these outgoing movements from plant 1000 do consume my forecast? Is this standard funcionality.
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hello Mario,
Thanks for your answer. I looked at the note but Im not sure it does apply in our situation.
Let me explain our situation maybe more clearly:
I want to create a monthly Forecast (MD61) with PIRs for Production Plant 1000. (Planining strategy 10)
The stock created in plant 1000, on the basis of this forecast is consumed during the month by:
1. Stock Transfer Orders (from plant 1000 to plant X) - (for 95%)
2. Sales orders (directly) (5%)
The STOs should not be on top of the PIR but should be part of the PIR.
For your information, the stock which is moved from plant 1000 to plant X via STOs, is sold at plant X (not directly at plant 1000).
this stock sold monthly at plant X however, is considered withing the forecast!
I hope this clarifies our situation a bit more.
Thanks for any anwer,
Bye

Generating Indep Reqs rather than Dep Reqs from Planning Strategies

Is there any way when using a Strategy 50/52 to generate Indep Reqs rather than dep reqs for components.?
Can this be achieved by using strategy 70 at the component level ? - I am not sure this can be done. It seems to always give Dep Reqs ?
If so what are the settings ?
I am not sure this can be done. It seems to always give Dep Reqs ?
Am I correct that unless you plan at component level and use strategy 70 you cannot generate Indep Reqs they will always be Dep Reqs?
Just to be clear I am not after a MTS scenario here (i.e. 40 ) but rather a Sales Order driven demand so 50/52.
So Mat A FG would be a 50/52 and Component X would be set up ith a 70 - unfortunately this gives dep reqs not indep reqs?
any thoughts appreciated

Milton,
Is there any way when using a Strategy 50/52 to generate Indep Reqs rather than dep reqs for components?
I don't really know what this means. Independent requirements by their very nature are not generated by other requirements, they are Independent.
Independent requirements are mostly created as follows
1. Manually
2. Copy from other independent requirements
3. Copy from a Material Forecast
4. Copy from SOP
5. Copy from Flex Planning
You could create a Z program that would create them as well.

Planning Strategies for MTO scenario

i have an FG which has strategy 20 assigned to it. I have an SFG which i want to link to the sales order. i also want the planned order to be generated to capture the minimum and maximum lot size and not generate on per requirement basis. example for the semi-finished, a sales order needs a reqt of 20, but min and max lot size is 12000, planned order should be 12000. how do i do this?

Hi Raf,
as you know that, for MTO Scenario the Lot sizin will be EX and no other settings are allowed.
But there is a provision fulfill the requirement.
Now in the Transaction: OMI4 for the lot size : EX
For MTO Lot size select 1 Lot-for-lot with rounding
Maintain the rounding value in the MRP Views as per your requirement like 12000 PC.
Now every time system tries to round it to 12000.
Hope this helps..

Siva

PP : Planning Strategies

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to consider available stock in planning strategy 52? I want MRP run to consider available stock against a forecast and not to create new requirement.
I mean I have 100 pcs in stock and a forecast comes of 40 so it creates pland independent requirement. I want system not to generate any procument proposal when MRP runs. It should use available stock.
Thanks in advance.
RajaRam

Thanks all Gurus for your invaluable time and suggestions.
Still I can't get the solution I want. I have following situation:
Date                        MRP element                                        Req. Qty                     Available
25.01.2008     Stock                                                            200      200
25.01.2008     -

01.02.2008     PldOrd     0000108425/INDR               100      100      2001

03.03.2008     IndReq     ZVSE               100-     0
As we have got a stock I don't want system to create any requirement.
This happens with strategy 52 because we can't control anything below this line
"25.01.2008     -
>Planning without assembly"
please give me the solution.

Differences between planning strategies 40,70 & 50

My understanding is as follows:
startegy 40: mts startegy, here finished products are produced against pir (forecast) and when we receive the s/o, s/o will consume the pir. example: finished products are manufactured without s/o and when we recieve the s/o they wil be shipped to customer.
strategy 50: mto startegy, here sub assemblies are manufacture against pir (forecast), when we recieve the s/o for the finished/final product, all the manufactures sub assemblies will be assembled finally with an extra value added operation and sent to customer. please suggest me an example for this strategy.
startegy 70: mts startegy, here sub assemblies are manufactured against pir, when we receive the s/o for final product, bom explodes and dependent req consume the pirs. i think here there is no final assembly/ value added operation. i think the sub assemblies will be sent as it is.
startegy 20: simple mts strategy for components. components are produced against pirs, against s/o when we do gi, the s/o will consume the pir of the components. applicable only for raw material or components.
startegy 10: simple mto, against s/o only production commences. no pirs.
please advise any mistakes in my understanding of above stategies and i appreciate if you give me one scenario for each startegy. mainly looking for differences between strategy between 40 and 70.

Link between process order and sales order for planning strategy 52

Hello,
I investigate the possibility of a link between "sales order" and "planned order / process order" for the usage of planning strategy 52 (planning w/o final assembly, make to stock).
I know, this is not conform to the basics of planning strategies (EITHER make to order OR make to stock) and I suspect it would be a modification. Of course we have the alternative "make to order" - strategy 50, but we do not want to use individual customer stocks.
Is anybody there with similar customer requirements or project experiences?
Thanks in advance,
Joerg

Hi Jorg,
To my understanding if you need hard pegging then in SAP only Individual requirement is possible.
Or else you need to create a custom transactions/table to identify Sale order and when ever a process order is created by selecting the sale order record, the process order detials should also get updated against that.
You need to take the help of ABAP expert for this,

Creating Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area.

Hi All,
I am trying to enter Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area, with requirement type VSE and I get the following error;
"Only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level".
I can enter at the Plant level with no problems.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Kevin.

The following is the excerpt from SAP [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/81/470a58ddab11d1b55b0000e82de178/frameset.htm] I think you maintained a planning strategy in the MRP view (for the plant) which doesn't support VSE.
You can delete PIRs from an MRP area by deleting the MRP area number from the Creating Planned Independent Requirements screen and recompiling.
When you define the planning strategies and parameters in the material master, these parameters apply to the whole plant, including all the MRP areas within the plant: You cannot maintain the MRP areas separately.
The integration of the MRP area and the assignment of the MRP area in the sales order is supported only by a user exit in the sales and distribution user exit pool.
Sales orders with MRP areas are created irrespective of the availability check control group in the material master.
Customer order processing of production sales orders with the item category (account assignment Step E Single) is only maintained in the MRP area of the plant.
In Customizing and in the MRP area user exit, make sure that when transferring individual sales orders, only requirements types KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE are generated.
The following requirements types are valid for the MRP area: KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE.
You cannot plan with preliminary planning materials in the MRP area.
There is no planning strategy for the material segment of the MRP area.
The planning strategy for the material master segment of the plant is assigned to the material segment of the MRP area.
The consumption mode and the periods of adjustment are derived from the plant in the MRP area of the material master.
Only consumption customer requirements with planned independent requirements are allowed: VSF requirements with KSV and VSFB with KSV.

Clarification in Planning Statergies

Hi Friends,
1.Please explain about the Main Planning strategies and Alternative Planning strategies...
2.What is the need of Alternative planning strategies..??
3.In what type of scenarios the alternative planning strategies is needed and who it will work??
Regards,
Senthilraja R

please go through the link first
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The main strategy is proposed in demand management or in sales order management and can be overwritten by another alternate planning strategy defined in the strategy group.
You can allocate the strategy group to the materials directly in the material master record, or you can allocate the strategy groups to an MRP group and then in a second step allocate the MRP group to the material in the material master record.

Sales Planning vs Demand management

Can any body explain how to process the sales planning vs Demand management !

Hi,
Demand Management : The function of Demand Management is to determine requirement quantities and delivery dates for finished products assemblies. Customer requirements are created in sales order management. To create a demand program, Demand Management uses planned independent requirements and customer requirements.
To create the demand program, you must define the planning strategy for a product. Planning strategies represent the methods of production for planning and manufacturing or procuring a product.
Using these strategies, you can decide if production is triggered by sales orders (make-to-order production), or if it is not triggered by sales orders (make-to-stock production).You can have sales orders and stock orders in the demand program. If the production time is long in relation to the standard market delivery time, you can produce the product or certain assemblies before there are sales orders. In this case, sales quantities are planned, for example, with the aid of a sales forecast.
Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a flexible forecasting and planning tool with which sales, production, and other supply chain targets can be set on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data. Rough-cut planning can also be carried out to determine the amounts of the capacities and other resources required to meet these targets.
Use SOP to streamline and consolidate your companys sales and production operations.
SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning
SOP constitutes the planning functionality of the LIS information systems.
You pass on SOP plans to Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) in the form of independent requirements. In turn, this data is fed to Master Production Scheduling (PP-MP-MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP).
An interface with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) allows you to use CO-PA data as the basis for sales planning in SOP.
You can also pass on the results of SOP to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA), and Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-CCA).
Application Link Enabling (CA-BFA-ALE) supports the distribution of data to different operating units in your enterprise
I hope this information will help you.
