Planning strtegy

Hi All...
I would like to know, what planning strategies can be used for the following scenario.
Client does job work with customer supplied materials (including packing materials).
The production is divided into two, semi finished matl production in bulk, i.e., production carried out without referring to customer order& finished product as per the customer order.
What planning strategies have to be assigned for semi finished and finished goods?
For semi finished product demand management is used.
Looking forward to your early guidance,
With regards,
LN

Use planning strategy 50 for Finish goods and assign in confguring mRP groups - > strategy groups
Upload demand for FG and for FG, due to planning strategy 50, when you get sales order only then you will be able to create prodution order before that only semiFG and other dependent requirments can be produced/procured.

PPDS order creation

Hi all,
I understand that we can combine make-to-stock and make-to-order strategy using forecasting horizon in SNP. That's, within forecasting horizon SNP creates orders only against sales order and dependent requirement and not against PIR. Can we do the same in PP planning? is there a way to run PP heuristics so that planned orders are created only against SO, dep requirement and not against PIR (in my case there is PIR at plant level)?
I appreciate your inputs..

Hi,
In PPDS also you can decide either to Plan Sales order or PIR using Planning strtegy
If yr strategy is MTS , it will MTS only & viceversa
I hope this will solve your problem on Hand.
In case your requirement is something different that I explained, please reexplaing alongwith strategy & which heuristic you are using. There are some BADI in PPDS with the help of which you can selectivel;y consider the planning input
Please let me know yr scenario in detail so that I can suggest the apprpprite badi

Profit Centr Issue

hi all
we are working on project based scenarion, planning strtegy 21 (MTO with Project).
we have following cysle.
Master data creation.
Prject builder creation
sale order creation. linking wbs element with sale order.
MRP run on Project using tcode : MD51
Procurement cycle
SFG materials plann order conversion to production orders.
raw material issue against reservation number created by system w r t prodcuotn order.
sfg prodcution order confirmation & GR.
this is the normal cycle we are using.
we have number of profit centres & according to sales area we are linking thesse profit centres in Projects & as well as sale order. e. g. 100 to 1000 & also we have a dummy profit centre 9999
my observation :
when we issue raw materials against reservation. and when we saw the material document it shows linking of 9999 (dummy profit centr) but when we do the gr for SFG or FG materials it goes to respective profit centre which is link in projects.
i would like to know why system shows me different profit centres for issue / recieved transaction ? if all materials are link to projects only. is there any configuration done wrongly ? or what ever system shows me is it correct ?
please advise me.

HI,
please check in production order , which profit center is entered. If you didnot maintain profit center in production order, then it will automatically pick dummy profit center.

Hello,
Just check how you transfer materials to project. When BOM is transferred to project, what kind of reservation system creates? Reservation against WBS or else? In this case i suppose evrything shall reflect on WBS / project profit centers.
Thank you.

Strategy 50

Hi, in planning strtegy 50, how raw materials and finished products were manufactured. where will be pir's, how sales order consume the pirs. pls advise the back ground process.

Hi
In Planning strategy 50 , you need to create PIR for the finished product and RUN the MRP based on the PIR. Results of this run system will create planned order for finished product with VP order type(This planned order not convertable until you receive the sales order for the finished product), for the semifinished product and raw material the planned order will create.
Once you receive the sales order for the finished product you need to RUN the MRP again for the finished product, this time the planned order is convertable to production order.
EX:
PIR 100
MRP RUN
Pln ord 100 (VP) for finsihed product
Plnd order 100 for semifinshed
Plnd ord 100 for Raw material
Sales order for 100
MRP RUN
Plnd order 100 for finished product
Semifinished and raw material are having stock

Hi,
as per your posting the dummy profit center is picked for raw materials.
please check the material master of that raw material there you may find this profit center assigned.
in case of the SFG and FG you must have used the WBS and sales order so it might be picking from them.
please check and revert.

Incorrect Sales order line item assignment to the Planned order

Hi,
I am creating a sales order & then MRP run to get planned orders.
The sales order has one assembly line item, which is a configurable material. Inside the configuration of the assembly, I maintain some components. After saving it explodes and the same components reflect below line items of the assebly in sales order.
Now if I run MRP there is a requirement for the component and so the planned order is created for the component. But If I open the planned order & see inside its Assignment view, there is correct sales order number, but the line item its showing is that of Assembly and not of the component. Why ? Is there any wrong in configuration or any wrong in planning type ?
I checked correct Item category is used.
MRP Type - PD
Correct requirement type is used in procurement view.
I think what ever is comming is standard SAP functionality. But I am not sure.
The client is saying, thie is wrong and because of this the warehouse guy is picking the wrong material (As the line number is wrong).
Please suggest here.

Hi Sambit,
We assign the Ordet type(Production order/ Planned order/ Network) to the requirment class to let the system know that for the material which has this requirment class , system chould create a Planned/ Procustion order. When you assign this normally system should create it automatically based on the settings. Requirment class comes from the requirment type which comes from the Item category and MRP type(*Genarally). Also check if there is any startegy Group assigned to the material in the material master and also the MRP group. Check the strtegy group defualts in the transaction "OPPS"(rEQUIRMENT TYPE /class FOR CUstome requirments). The best thing you could do is make the screen shots of the assembly header and the component's requirment classes and tell the business that based on this sytem is creating the planned order.And also check the plant parameters and the MRP group parameters in "OPPQ" and "OPPR" respectively. Kindly please let me know if you need any more infromation on this.

Planning trading material

Dear all
In one scenario
for the final assy of finished product x bill of materials are
x1( from sub con ven ) and x2(spare) each one.
x2 spare is also trading material that can be sold seperately
ours is monthly planning MTS.
If customer is asking for 10 nos of x along with 5 nos of x2 seperately.
In planning run, only as a dependent requirement PR generated for x2 for 10 nos as per BOM.
But how to plan x2 for extra 5 nos required by customer seperately.
please explain

Hi
To get requirement for X2 in MRP you have to plan in MD61.
To plan in MD61 you are required to input strtegy group in MRP 3 view.
By giving simply this system will avoid dependent requirements for that material.
Toplan depenedent requirments as well as independent requirements , after giving strtegy group, you have to input some value in the filed "MRP dep.requirements" in
MRP4 view.
I am not sure out of two possible values for this field , pl.chk.

Data Back Up Plan

Hi,
My internal hard drive, 320 GB, 'fully loaded', on my 2 year old imac crashed 10 days ago.
Since I had the extended warranty, the 'local' Apple store replaced the internal drive within hours
at no charge and even loaded Snow Leopard and iLife. With a well updated TimeMachine on an external hard drive I was back working at my imac the next day. When I realized after the crash that my precious 250 GB of pictures in Adobe Lightroom and iPhoto, along with a few videos were saved on just one older Maxtor external hard drive, it made me think about a more solid back up procedure.
The idea now is to move all big volume files to one or more external hard drives.
In the meantime I have transfered the iPhoto and Lightroom files to an external hard drive (WD MyBook II, 2x1 TB in RAID 1), which gives me the first layer of back up: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/552322-REG/WesternDigital_WDH2Q20000N_2TB_My_BookStudio.html
In a second step I am planning on making a clone (with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy) of the internal hard drive (mainly operating systems and applications) and the external hard drive (all big data files) on one additional external hard drive, i.e. OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro Raid 0, 2 TB http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8Q7T20GB64/
I am looking for advise here:
Do SuperDuper or CarbonCopy (I only know the names from the discussion forums) allow me to make a clone from 2 separate hard drives
Would it be good practice to create a large clone of ultimately 2 TB with ALL files or wouldn't it be better to make 2 clones , one of the internal and one of the external drive.
TimeMachine had helped me to get back to work quickly after the crash. I expect to fill the WD 1TB drive rather quickly. Where should I plan on using Time Machine in my new back up plan?
Would appreciate comments and advise.

No. A clone is of your boot volume only. But those apps can make separate backups of multiple drives, either to multiple drives or to separate partitions on the same drive.
Would it be good practice to create a large clone of ultimately 2 TB with ALL files or wouldn't it be better to make 2 clones , one of the internal and one of the external drive.
2 is not only better, but your only option with CCC or SD.

There is no "right" answer, just a number of possibilities. Some thoughts:
You could use TIme Machine to back up both your internal HD and the WD set to the OWC, if it's at least twice the size of the data on both. It looks like it can be configured as a +Concatenated RAID set+ (both drives into a single 2 TB volume), so that should work well.
Or use TM to back up your OSX drive, and CCC or SD to back-up the media drive.
The CCC or SD backups usually aren't practical to run more than once a day, so consider them your "secondary" backups.
Also strongly consider getting something off-site (safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc.), so you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines. Portable external HDs are great for that. Some things may even be appropriate to take to DVDs.
The problem with that is, there aren't many portables over about 640 GB (LaCie has a 1 TB for either $300 or $400: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11357).
CCC is donationware, so you can use it free for a while. If you decide to keep it, send them some $$ so they can keep it up to date. SD has a free version, but to do updates (rather than a full replacement) or automatic scheduling, you need the paid version (about $30). Either is available via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.

BOM is not getting displayed in case of centralized planning plant.

Dear All,
there are 2 plants for which we have centralized planning. the users have created Equipment BOM for the two plants. but in case of the second plant for which the planning plant is different from the maintenance plant, the BOM is not getting displayed in the Maintenance Order (i.e. in the components tab).
kindly through some light on it. whether i have to do some settings for it.
Regards,
Ritesh Kapoor

Hi,
Yes while using IH01, i have ticked the BOM explosion option, but when i am giving the plant there then only it is displaying the BOM of that equipment.
Also when i am creating an order for the same equipment, then it does not displays the BOm & shows the message which i have written in my previous mail.

Report for Planned vs Purchase Order(Qty and rate)

Hi
I have the following issue. My client is raising Purchasing requisition and Purchase Orders in Me51N and ME21n respectively. The Project Structure is used only to plan the quantities and rates whereas no PR is released from it. But the components are attached. Now if i make use of the code CN52N, i am getting the planned quantity and unit rate for the planned value whereas no Purchase requisition number or purchase order number is updated in it.
My requirement is that both planned quantity, rate along with Purchase order quantity and rate should be available in a report.
1. Is there any setting that we can make so that the details are updated in cn52N (or)
2. is there any other report with those details (or)
3. Should that be achived only through ABAP.
Please suggest.
Raghav

There are a few reports that you can use to display STO requisitions and orders, by supplying plant, material, or MD04 like was mentioned.
The only thing that you don't have in a report is the link to the production order. In SAP in a MTS situation there's no fixed link (pegging) between the requirement (STO) and the supply (prod Ord).
You can view the pegging dynamically, for example in MD04.

A/P & Consignment data pull to Planning Cube.....

I put this in "BC & Extractors" section, but did not get any response.....
Need couple of clarifications (brief background is provided.....):
1. We do DELTA extractions using 0FI_AP_3 adn 0FI_AR_4 to a base cube which includes both 'Open' and 'Cleared'
items. From this cube we do a DELTA load to a Planning Cube on a DAILY basis. We filter the data on Company Code
and 'Item Status' (OnlyOPEN Items) for Planning purposes. The key figure pulled to Planning Cube is '0DEB_CRE_DC'.
The bsae cube has data at Line Item Document level, where as the planning cube is only at Customer & Vendor level.
The question is - Will this Daily DELTA to Planning cube with filter on Open Item bring correct key figure? For example,
if the status of one of the items pulled as OPEN in earlier Delta changes to "CLEARED" the subsequent day, will the Key
Figure reflect the changes and show correct value? Is there any impact on the key figure due to the filter on Open Item?
My thinking is the key figure 0DEB_DRE_DC will reflect he correct number (adjsuted) since it is a summated key figure.
I could be totally wrong and want to understand this with comments from experts.
2. Has anyone worked with pulling Consignment (SMI) data into Planning cube? We pull this data using a generic extractor
from a SAP table "RKWA" with some logic. Since I pull A/P data that contains SMI & Non-SMI transactions. To avoid
Double Counting, how can I avoid bringing in the SMI transactions from A/P? There is no flag to diffferentiate the SMI /
Non-SMI transactions....
I am hoping someone has worked in these area to offer expert comments/ recommendations.
Thanks.. Shaun
Please post one question only once
Edited by: Vikram Srivastava on Aug 13, 2010 1:02 PM

Hello Lee,
For your first question as you are using the Filter on the status of the record,
lets say today the status is OPen and as a part of the filter the Delta will be able to pick this record as the status is OPen but if the status is changed to Closed tomorrow then this record will be completely ignored and hence in the next level target you will not have the right status at all.
So you need to plan your filters accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
