HI  Marius
It is good notes
But i am facing problem with my only finished material ,all my sub assembly materials are having fixed planned orders but finished material planned order is getting changed
I have assigned ppds planning time fence for 5 days
By F1 help i have got below note  it is creating little confusion
Note
You can specify a time fence interactively in the product view. It may override the planning time fence in the following way:
If the time fence is after the end of the PP/DS planning time fence, planning is fixed until the time fence.
If the time fence is before the end of the PP/DS planning time fence, planning is fixed until the end of the planning time fence

  • Managing planning time fence ( P1 MRP type ) and firm zone in ME32L

    Hello,
    I want to know if there is or are some documents to know how to manage planning time fence in MM02 and firm zone in ME32L ?
    For me, in ME32L the firm zone is the firmed quantities sent to suppliers but not firmed for MRP so how to manage this easily ?
    Thanks.
    Romeo.

    Dear,
    Firm ZOne in SA, says that that much qty will be procured from that vendor with in that date specified, if not taken the production cost and cost related to that will be paid.
    Now the planing time fence, is the time with in which no change is allowed. Hence if there is any new requirement to that RM, then it will be pushed to outside the time fence.
    Hence if there is a schedule line which is already there and requirement is coved with in that, then your requirement is met, if not system will create a new schedule line in the trade off zone/planning zone.
    I hope you got the point.

  • Scheduling Agreement & Planning Time Fence

    Hello,
    I read a lot of articles on Planning Time Fence and the MRP Types P1 to P4 that goes with it. And I have tested it out in a Testing Environment.
    But I can't get it to do what I need.
    This is a normal planning with no PTF and MRP Type PD.
    Sometimes we have false requirements that show up in the past due to human error. When this happens, MRP rolls during the night and adds a bunch of deliveries in the past to cover the requirement.
    I wanted to use the PTF to prevent this. Meaning that extra deliveries would get added by MRP but after a PTF and not Firm deliveries. So that once the error is corrected, MRP rolls again and deleted all the extra deliveries it added.
    ** Only P2 and P4 adds deliveries after the PTF, but I need it to act normal on a day to day basis aswell and have MRP create deliveries like the print screen above. To add non-Firm deliveries after the PTF is just in rare cases of human error.
    Not sure if my explanation is clear.

    Hi Patricia,
    The planning time fence is there to stop MRP from making changes to requirements that fall within the planning time fence.
    Your planning time fence is a rolling period which shifts by 1 day each day and is calculated as of the current date. Yesterdays date is passed so it would not make sense for a planning time fence to use a date in the past to start it's calculation.
    Everything that falls before the end of the planning time fence will not be changed by MRP and you will see that all these schedule lines in MD04 will have an * assigned meaning they are firmed for MRP.
    If you manually add schedule lines in the past, the planning time fence will not stop you from doing this. The planning time fence will only stop MRP from making changes.
    By the way:
    If you manually add requirements to the scheduling agreement then MRP will never change these requirements as these are fixed requirements.
    If your customer would add requirements in the past or you add independent requirements in the past and your current stock does not cover the requirements the system will generate schedule lines and will put these directly after the planning time fence with an exception message assigned to them.
    As a side note:
    I always wonder why such questions arrive in the forum as this is something that can be very easily tested in the test environment.

    Please provide me a Step by step procedure with example to Reschedule the Purchase Req with given rescheduling date.
    *Really I am confused with PLANNING TIME FENCE.
    What it does with Planned Order and Purchase Req ?
    Based on the some of threads in SDN, I couldnu2019t come to the conclusion of the terminology behind PTF.
    So could you please provide me an explanation with example will make clear idea on PTF.
    Thanks in Advance.

    dear friend,
    as far as i know, all planned orders that lie in the planning time fence are firmed. that means that they can no longer be changed automatically by the system in the planning run in long-term planning.
    outside the planning time fence, the system creates order proposals as usual according to the shortage quantity and the lot-sizing procedure. once these planned orders move into the planning time fence, they are automatically firmed depending on the how you have set the firming type.
    the planning time fence can be defined per material in the material master record or via the MRP group.

  • Exception message 56 "shortage in planning time fence" meaningless

    Hi,
    I would love to use in PP R3 this message 56 "shortage in planning time fence" to detect as a matter of priority the situations where planned orders are too late or too small to meet demand and a planned shortage exists.
    But this message seems to be generated only in the case of planning type M2 and M4, not M1 or M3.
    Also the result wont be the same if I use a coverage profile or a  safety time with both the same minimum stock coverage.
    And SAP put the exception on a forecast or customer order at a date when there is actually no planned shortage : there is enough stock to meet the demand.
    I would like to know if you found the same anomaly in SAP and how you work around this.
    thanks in advance for answers.

    Hi Manjula,
    Planning time fence is the time period in which system will not disturb the current plannng situation .
    The duration shown the MD61(selection screen] is the planning horizon. If you enter any date outside the planning horizon system will issue a warning message indicating the same.
    Thanks & regards

  • What is planning time fence

    in material master we enter planning time fence & in house productiton & plnd delivery time
    explain wirh a example

    planning time fence: basically it is the period in which no changes to the plan happens automatically through MRP run
    inhouse production time: the time required to produce a material in calender days
    Pld delivery time: time required to procure a material if it is procured externally.
    the latter 2 values are of significance in scheduling the delivery dates. inhouse production time for the product  and PDT for the components(sourced externally)
    please explore further in the following link

  • Planning time fence- MRP

    Hi Guys:
    Can I use Planning time fence if i am using MRP type PD?
    what are the settings i need to maintain for planning time fence and how it defined generally , is it a function of leadtime?
    Thanks
    Kodali

    Hi Padmasri :
    How to freeze the order proposals if i am using MRP Type PD.
    Because , I might run MRP Yesteraday it might have created Planned orders or Purchase requistions and Buyer might have issued purchase order to the vendor.
    today i got some more sales order and additional requirements , So when i run MRP today System propose Purchase requistions asking to change the previously created requistions on Previous Run?
    Could you explain how to manage this scenarious without timing fence and still using MRP type PD?
    Thanks

  • Firmed planning time fence

    Hi gurus,
    My business scenario is to firm my planning shop flloor during 60 days.
    To do it I used the planning Type P1. So If there is a requirement during these 60 days the planned orders is proposed at the end of this time fence. But this is the requirement date that is defined out the time fence. I have to begin the production (and so change the shop floor planning) during my firmed time fence of 60 days to respect the planning proposed by MRP.
    Is it possible to achieve my scenario ?
    Thanks.

    Hello Laurent,
    If I've well understood what you want :
    you would keep normal run of P1 for any planned orders which cover a requirement inside the planning time fence, and in the same time, you would get new proposals from the MRP in the planning time fence if the requirement date is outside the planning time fence.
    In this case, it seems me to be a bit difficult.
    The planning time fence is done to take in account the procurement proposal and not the requirement level. Basically, it's firmed the production plan in a defined horizon whatever the requirements could be.
    In anyway, we could imagine a specific program which runs after the MRP with these internal steps:
    . selection of the planned orders which have been rejected outside the planning fence,
    . filtering the selection against the requirement date (keep the date outside the planning time fence),
    . changing the start date of each good planned order and firming it ( & setting an opération code ).
    In my opinion, technically speaking, the bolt-on is very simple but the impacts on the MRP process has to be evaluate for the final users (understanding and maintenance). Moreover, there is the difficulty to determine the requirement origin in some context.
    I hope to be helpfull,
    With regards,

  • Link Planning time fence with planning calendar

    Hello,
    In MD04 transaction, we can see the planning time fence lign. In my system, the planning time fence lign is calculated based on the plant calendar (SCAL transaction).
    But, we will like to calculate the planning time fence based on the planning calendar (MD26 transaction) and not on the plant calendar.
    I mean, when I close a period in the planning calendar (MD26), I want that the system establish the new planning time fence lign based on the planning calendar.
    Does anyone know if it's possible? If yes, how should I do ?
    Best regards,
    Gwen

    Hello Gwen
    The planning time fence is always calculated according to the factory calendar defined at plant level.
    If you are using a periodic lot-sizing procedure with a time fence, system may generate replenishment proposals outside the planning calendar dates, especially if you are using a goods receipt processing time. If you want to make sure that the dates will be always according to the planning calendar, you may check the following modification note:
    397870
    MOD:Procurmt propsls on non-dely date due to plng time fence
    If you want to create your own logic to calculate the time fence, you may use the BAdI MD_MRP_PARAMETERS.

  • MD04 - Planning time fence for materials that are planned externally

    Hi,
    I have to develop a report in R/3 which will pick up values from MD04 (for a particular material/plant combination) and show the output in ALV grid of materials which are not planned in R/3 but APO.
    It should also show the planning time fence.
    For example, if i goto MD04 in R/3 and enter a material-plant combination which has MRP type X0 (external planning), it doesnt show me the planning time fence.
    This value/row has to be picked up from APO.
    Any idea how to go about it and what are the Function Modules I should use or is there any alternative for this ?
    Regards,
    Anand.

    Hello Anand,
    Try looking at user exit in MD04 that can change the values in MD04. Then, check for material-plant type of the order. If it is X0, call RFC to APO function module to read the information you want.
    I have develop before a report in R/3 that read the correct time of an order in APO to be displayed in R/3.

  • HELP: Planning Time Fence Control

    Hi,
    We have a business requirement where we have Firm Purchase Orders and WIP jobs outside the planning time fence (PTF). We then have new demand for the item coming from SO. When we run MRP, the system is extending the planning time fence up to the Need by date of the latest PO so this means there will be no stock to cover the new demand and we are in backorder!
    Example:
    Item: ABC
    Item Leadtime: 5 days
    PTF: 5 days
    Sysdate : 09-Feb-2009
    Firm Purchase Order: 20-Mar-2009 (outside the PTF for the item)
    WIP job demand: 20-Mar-2009
    New SO 5000001252 with schedule ship date 17-Feb-2009
    To cover the demand for SO 5000001252 MRP is suggesting a new planned order for 20-Mar-2009.
    Plan option:
    Profile MRP:Firm Planned Order Time Fence = No
    Overwrite = None
    Append Planned Orders = Yes
    Planning Time Fence Control = Yes
    Has anybody come across this scenario? How can we force MRP to suggest a Planned Order for the 17-Feb-2009?
    Can the above requirement be achieved with ASCP?
    thanks

    Hi
    I guess planning is creating time fence on its own called the natrual time fence. It would take the firm supply and create a timefence based on its date until creating new pl order within that period.
    Please set profile MRP:Create Time fence to No and recheck
    Best regards

  • MF50 : Planning table and planning time fence

    HI,
    I use the transaction MF50 as planning table ( in order to do my MPS planning), I use "set firming date" to fix a firming date.
    Now, I want o know if it should possible to reveal a message when we create a planned order within the firming date??
    Thanks for your answer.

    Hi,
    For clarity , I am describing  below the functionlity of Set Firming date is explained as below:
    By setting Manual Firming date , we extend the planning time fence.
    If a planning time fence has been created for a material then the following applies:
    If the manual firming date lies before the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is still valid.
    If the manual firming date lies after the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is extended until this date.
    All order proposals with availability dates that lie before the end of the planning time fence of the manually extended planning fence are firmed for the planning run, if the materials have an MRP type which contains firming type or firming type 1 or 2
    The system does not automatically firm order proposals for materials that have an MRP type with firming type 3 or 4, even if their availability dates lie before the end of the planning time fence or manually extended planning time fence.
    Please check if this helps you.
    Regards

  • Firmimg the orders and planning time fence

    Hi, Pls explain about firming and non-firming and planning time fence while running mrp or mps?what is meant by firming the orders?  i do not know how it work and how can we interpret the reults? pls explain with one example.

    Firming: When an order is firmed , indicates that the Order  no longer needs to be planned in MRP.
                  Order gets firmed, when we change plannde order manually and save .
    Planning time fence: the time period during which if any Order comes it gets firmed subject the Compatible MRP type.
                                    Depedning on whether they need to be firmed or not and when a new requirement is creatd in the planning horizon, How the receipt needs to be planned within the Planning time fence or out side is controlled in the MRP type.

  • Planning time fence using a specific calendar

    Hello
    Planning time calculation is using workdays and the factory calendar.
    I have a customer request to have the planning time fence use a specific calendar, not containing holidays and non-active periods. Is there a possibility in ERP to define a specific calendar for planning time fence.

    Dear PPIO,
    This is with ref to your response to the above question. I too have a similar problem.
    We have a factory Calendar (US) that is used on our day to day business. This factory calendar does not include the weekends and public holidays.
    I created a SAP Planning Calendar(DSI) via MD25 but when i ran the MRP it still gives me the result based out of the Factory Calendar.
    I would like to see my MRP to propose including weekend and public holidays.
    If you could send me your id , i could send the screen shots.
