Planning with product priority

Dear Consultants,
The following is a requirement from my client.
There are Finished goods ...
                             FG1  (size :20 Dia)
                             FG2  (size :18 Dia)
                             FG3  (size :14 Dia)                                                                               
FG4  (size :10 Dia)           
All these  FGs  are manufactured in a single Workcenter (Flowline).
The changeover time required to setup the line to make it ready FG1 to FG2 (20 Dia to 18 Dia) is less and from FG1 to FG4 (20 Dia to 10 Dia) is more.
So , they want to plan/schedule the Orders in such a way that the FGs of descending size are  planned within a month
( sequence - Fg1 , Fg2, Fg3, Fg4.... ) and
for the next month , planning/scheduling for the Orders should be in such a way that the FGs of ascending size are  planned
(reverse sequence of previous month - Fg4, Fg3, Fg2 , Fg1)
Kindly suggest whether this can be mapped in R/3 ?
Regards,
Sheik

  • New Products Lunch - Planning with Planning Material

    Hello All
    WE Plan we planning material (strg 63).
    Each finish good is assigned to a planning material and in each planning material we maintain parameters like consumption mode and consumption periods.
    For products current in production this strategy works fine, but for new finish goods that are not yet in production the ,confirmation is a challenge.
    Imagine a planning material that contain both types of materials, in production and a new materials that start production in month 3.
    The consumption indicator is 2 (backwards and foreword) and the backward consumption period is 30 days.
    if you enter a sales order today and if planning allow he gets confirmed for today even thou production only start in month 3.
    Any advice to make sure SAP only confirms after the 3 month even thou planning exists before? and how to make sure that only the planning that  is maintained after the production start is considered even thou the backword consumption is define to look back
    any comment / suggestion is appreciated
    Thanks

    hi
    In Planning with planning material Planning material  means if there is a material which determines the profitability of the company or which is of great importance to the company.
    The planning strategy "Planning with planning material" is particularly useful if you have several
    finished products with the same main assemblies.
    Here, you define a planning material which contains the common assembly and its BOMs.
    The planning run is carried out for the planning material which triggers the production and
    procurement of the planning material's components.
    The sales order for a finished product which refers to the planning material reduces the planned
    independent requirements of the planning material and simultaneously triggers final assembly.
    When processing the sales order, you can check whether the planned independent requirements
    quantities cover the demand (that is, the availability check as a check against the planned
    independent requirements).
    In the material master record of the planning material, you must enter strategy 60, the consumption
    mode and the consumption periods. In the material master records which refer to the planning
    material, you must enter the planning material as a reference and strategy 60. The consumption
    periods are calculated starting from the planned independent requirements of the planning material.

  • Configure & integrate the quality management with production planning

    hi,
      i know general flow of production planning ,
    i dono how to configure & integrate the quality management with production planning . can anyone explain step by step to configure.
    with regards,
    Elanchi

    Hi,
    You must define an inspection type 03 and activate it for materail. When you create production order you will have the inspection lot created. you define type of inspection plan in inspection lot type. You will insert an operation in routing og the material. This operation must contain inspection characteristics. use the operation key QM04 with a quality work center.
    Inspection process time will be assigned to your production order.
    I think you can manage t customise the process from this global definition of the QM process in Production.

  • Copying Production priority value from sales orde

    Hello friends,
    For some reasons we are not using delivery priority field to copy production priority.
    We have created one custom filed at sales order item level, and we are planning to copy the value of this filed into priority filed in the production order( ATO scenario and MTO Scenario).
    Is there any customer exit or user exit or enhancement spot to copy custom values into production order.
    As of now i have implemented one enhancement point but it is triggering only when there is a change in Schedule lines, it is not quite useful. I need a enhancement point which will trigger production order for each and every change in sales order.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Muralidhar.

    I need a enhancement point which will trigger PRODUCTION ORDER ?? for each and every change in sales order.
    Pls Check with requirement...Can be More Clear

  • SNP Optimizer and product priority

    Hi all,
    Is SNP Optimizer respects product priority?  Some part of the documentation says, it respects, and someother part says no consideration.  Which is correct ?  
    Shibu

    Hi Shibu,
    The product priority is not considered by the Optimizer -
    There are actually two ways of giving the priority -
    1. It is by giving different Non Delivery and Delay Penalty Cost for these products.
    2. The other option is SNP Optimizer Priority Profile which is less complicated in terms of Master Data Maintenance. If you define the priority profile then the optimizer first plans the products with more priority and then plan the other set of products.

  • Make-to order with production in alternative plant

    Hi,
    We are thinking about implementing a scenario with Make-to Order production for our products, but with production in alternative plant (special procurement type 80).
    For example, sales orders will be directed to plant A, but production should take place in plant B - and using a make-to order strategy (in our case planning strategy 50 - planning without final assembly).
    Is there any problems with our approach, making it not feasible to implement? Is it even possible in SAP to combine MTO with special procurement key 80 (production in alternative plant)?
    Is there any other issues that can be foreseen with using this type of production strategy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars

    Hi,
    The production strategy which you are going to use is very fine.
    As per me there is one concern. Example you have created a sales order in Plnat A, in plant A that FG is handling through Special procurement 80, then in the MRP run system will be creating a planned order in Plant B without running MRP in plant B. In MD04 screen you can see planning plant as Plant A. In plant B, u r converting this planned order in to Production order and executing the production. While doing the GR against the production order, the goods receipt will happen directly in Plant A.
    This is the one problem (Accountability)  you can face.

  • Issue with Product Allocation Scenario

    I am Trying out Product Allocation in APO (SCM 5.0).
    Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
    After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
    Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
    Now trying to carry out the Product Allocation check by creating a Sales Order in ECC. In that case during the material availability check screen in APO, the product allocation does not show up.
    I believe it is related to master data settings for the product in ECC. My questions are as follows:
    1. In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO). There in MRP3 tab Strategy Group is maintained. Is this along with Availability Check field responsible for determining the check instruction (combination of check mode + business event) in APO for the Product Allocation check.
    2. If so (which I guess it is) I can see the check instruction picked up in APO while creation of sales order in ECC is different from the check instruction I ran simulation with. How can I ensure the same check instruction is chosen (in which case I believe the availability check result will be same as the ATP Simulation carried out in APO).
    3. In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master). In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
    4. Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
    I guess some of the questions is a bit hazy but I would appreciate if someone can outline the Product Allocation Scenario. I am trying out based on Building Block S59 Demand Planning for Product Allocation but of course it does not detail out enough.
    Disclaimer: My knowledge of GATP is almost nil but am exploring.
    Thanks,
    Somnath

    Hi Somnath,
    It will be a pleasure to help you out.
    Firstly I will list out all the steps which I can think of:
    (1) R3-You have moved all the ATP customizing from R3 to APO via ATP integration model.
    (2) APO- goto SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions
    Here go to Check Mode- 041 and Business Event- A and maintain the following settings manually in development and migrate it all the way to Production
    I am assuming here that you want to first do an allocation check and then availability check**
    Product Allocation: Change from NO CHECK to First Check
    Product Check: Change from First Check to Second Check
    This check mode and business event is the most common one which is triggered while placing a sales order
    See the following blog for DETERMINATION OF CHECK MODE
    http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/
    There might be other check modes( 030, 050) which might also require this change. However you can judge that while placing a sales order and when you go to the availability screen, You have the tab - SCOPE OF CHECK CONTROL where you can see the Check Mode + Business Event
    Following guidelines can be used to modify Check Instrctions after Customizing Import from R/3 –
    1.     Business Event A*  is Sales Order Entry (The main scope of GATP) so define check instructions for all check modes since it is not possible to identify the requirement class that may come over on an order. For Business Event A* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
    2.     Business Event B* is  normally for deliveries but is also required for Rush Sales Orders. An R/3 configuration showed that 041 is the only requirement class that will come across for this business event. Hence defined only for 041 check mode. For Business Event B* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
    3.     Business Event 03 required for Inventory Transaction availability check such as MB1C. For such transactions, the APO Product Master Check Mode is used. Hence check instructions for all Check Modes are maintained. For Business Event 03 if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Availability check as first step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability checks.
    (3) Maintain the Product Alllocation Procedure:
    <b>a-</b> Create a Product Alloc Object -- Example: PAO-001
    In this step, we define the product allocations objects - product allocations are saved per object for a characteristics combination in the product allocation group.
      Product Allocation Procedures can be used to maintain different Product Allocation Objects for different time validity periods.
      Generally Product Allocation Objects are used to model the different ‘reasons’ for the need for allocation – material shortage, capacity constraint, etc.
    <b>b-</b> Product Alloc Group--PAO-1234
    A product allocation group defines a group of characteristics against which allocation checking is done.
       Creating a Product Allocation Group creates a characteristics directory in the APO database and an area in Live Cache where the key figures are maintained.
       If ‘Check Planning Area’ is set to No then allocation and incoming order quantitiy data can be seen in table /SAPAPO/QTTAB. If the ‘Check Planning Area’ is set to Yes then no data is stored in this table and the allocation check is done directly against the data in the Planning area.
       Detials of allocationconsumption by sales orders are maintained in table /SAPAPO/QTVB in APO and in QTVB in R/3.
      If ‘Check Planning Area’ is set to ‘Yes’ and if there are users are in the change mode in the Planning Book, Sales Order Entry can get locked out.
      If ‘Check Planning Area’ is initially set to yes and then deactivated later you will no longer see data in /SAPAPO/AC42.
    Settings:
    Check Planning Area – Yes. The reason being that users are not expected to lock planning books as they would be defaulted into the display mode (through a development object). Also most allocation uploads will be through batch jobs. Setting it to ‘Yes’ reduces one step of moving data between the planning area and the allocation group.
    Check Date - Material Availability Date. Consumption of allocation quantity and checking of available allocation quantities is determined by the check date.
    Time Bucket Profile – Week
    Characteristics – Product Allocation Object (1), Product (2), Plant(3), Customer(4)
    Consumption Period – Bwd Consumption 1  
    Meaning that first the order will consume from current week allocation and then go 1 week backward to consume.
    <b>c-</b> Product Allocation Procedure --- PAO-4567
    Step Sequence:

    <i>Step Name-</i> -

                            12/31/2037      PAO-001    Check the Box                  1
    <b>d-</b> Maintain Connection to Planning Area (APO) 
    In this step, we maintain the assignment of the planning area to the product allocation group. We must make this assignment because characteristics of the product allocation group have different names from the info objects of the planning area.
      All characteristics of a product allocation group must be assigned to an info object. But multiple info objects can be assigned to one info object. It is not always necessary to assign every info object to a characteristic. It is possible for aggregation and disaggregation (depending on the direction of transfer) to take place with info objects that are not assigned.

    <b>e-</b>  Check the Product Alloc Settings
    This is only a check- Everything should be green and OK .
    (4) You have planned the Characteristic Combination on which you want to do ALLOCATION.
    <b>Create a new POS-</b> Which has your chracateristics as PRODUCT, PLANT,CUSTOMER, Product Alloc Object ( 9AKONOB)
    <b>Planning Area,-</b> Key figures required are Alloc Qty, Order Qty( Sales Order Qty)
    <b>PLannig Book, Data View</b> which has the following characteristics- Product, PLant
    Assuming you are allocating at the following CVC level- Product, PLant,Customer
    Step 1:
    /n/sapapo/MC62-Create Time Series- Basicallly your CVCs -
    Example: Product 1234, Plant INDIA, CUstomer WALKART
    Step 2:
    Move Characteristic Values Combination to Allocation Group (APO) 
    /SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K
    INput :
    Planning Area: xxxx
    Prod Alloc Group: PAO-1234
    (5) In the INtegration MOdel - Activate the ATP CHECK Integration model for the Plant and material
    THis is the KEY which decides whether availability should be done in R3 or APO
    Material Active in the integration model -- Means Availability( GLOBAL AVAILABILITY: Prod Alloc+Prod Availability) is done in APO
    Material not active in the integration model --- Means Availability Check is done in R3
    (6) APO MASTER DATA SETTINGS:
    Material Master:  On the ATP Tab, Assign Loc Dep Procedure ( Prod Alloc Procedure)
    Location Master: Calendar Tab> Create a shipping time stream calendar
    Additional Info: Please contact your R3-SD people as this involves a lot of understanding and I have not listed all the details here.
    This config shown here is a very basic one which not even 25% of the companies might be using.
    If you have any questions on this part- please see my business card and email me**
    (7) SCHEDULING: This is a major task which determines the route and transit times for calculating the
    Material Availability date
    Goods Issue Date
    Delivery Date
    on the sales order line item- schedule line
    I dont know whether you need info on this**There are many ways of doing this
    a- Configurable Scheduling
    b- COndition records
    c- User Exit
    You can find documentation in SPRO or else let me know*
    For simplicity- Let me take the easiest to create and difficult to maintain master data- Condition Records
    Step1 --Define Field Catalog for Condition Table (APO) 
    /SAPCND/AU01
    Require Plant and Route defined here in the field catalog
    Step 2- Define Condition Table for Scheduling (APO) 
    /SAPCND/AU03
    Create a new table- 901
    901 -  Pick Time based on Route with key as Route
    902- Route Time based on route
    Step 3- Maintain Access for Scheduling (APO) 
    /SAPCND/AU07
    Take the important ones- PICK and TRAN
    I am assuming again as I dont know what kind of Scheduling is maintained on R3 Side. Mostly 80% companies have only two lead times- Pick and Route Transit time.**
    PICK- Select pick and click on accesses > <i>Acno</i>-10-- <i>Table</i>-901
             >> Then save it > and go in again
    Select PICK and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as PICK--- Enter the access as 10  and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
    TRAN- Select TRAN and click on accesses > <i>Acno</i>-10-- <i>Table</i>-902
             >> Then save it > and go in again
    Select TRAN and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as TRAN--- Enter the access as 10  and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
    Now coming to maintaining the Condition records in APO EASY ACCESS
    /SAPCND/AU11
    Create  SCheduling Step for PICK : Enter condition type- PICK
    <i>Enter Route</i>- USCAN --- <i>Duration</i> -24:00 (Hrs)
    Create  SCheduling Step for TRAN: Enter condition type- TRAN
    <i>Enter Route</i>- USCAN --- <i>Duration</i> -48:00 (Hrs)
    Now Let me answer your questions:
    (1) Question 1- <i>In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO).</i>     
    I did not undertsand what you mean here. As we can create a Material at the following locations in APO( Dist Center(DC), Manu Plant(PL), Cusomter, Vendor, etc)
    For GATP all we need is the material at a PLant location
    STrategy Group on MRP3 tab: This is purely used for determining the CHECK MODE value on APO Product Master.
    When this is blank on R3, the check mode will be blank on APO.
    However SAP recommends Putting in a strategy group value on R3 Material Master
    or
    a default Check MOde value for all those Products who have blank check mode-   041 is the best value * This piece SAP hasnt recommended but I found that there is No harm in anyway and it is MANDATORYfor inventory transactions like GOODS ISSUE otherwise you will get a QUEUE in SYSFAIL **
    Even if this is blank this has no effect on the GLOBAL ATP as the Check mode for a SD transaction is determined as follows
    98% of the SD transactions will generate a CHeck mode of 041 and Business Event- A ***
    Through the item category and the MRP type in the MRP view
    The item category is derived from the item category group in the Sales view of the material master record and from the order type of the sales document. Together with the MRP type in the MRP view of the material master record, the item category determines what requirements type is selected. The advantage of this method is that the selection of the requirements type depends on the business process (such as quotation, sales order, or repair).
    (2) Question 2 - I guess now you must have understood why when you do a simulation in APO, it is taking the Check mode from APO product Master
    and when you do a ATP Check from R3, the check mode(041) is different
    You dont need to ensure that they are the same- It doesnt matter in anyway.
    (3) Question 3- <i>In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master).</i>I
    When you run ATP simulation- AC04, you generally run it for the plant as that is the supplying location and not the customer.
    <i>In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.</i>
    PLease look above for this answer.
    (4) Question 4 - <i>Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.</i>
    To my best knowledge, whatever I could remember I have listed out. However there are some more steps which might be needed.
    Follow all the steps as I have mentioned and whenever you get struck somewhere, shoot me a message and I will help you.
    ONe more pointer here to what you have mentioned
    Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
    After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
    <u><i>Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.</i></u>
    Somnath, I believe you might have a wrong picture here. The concept of allocation is  Controlling Supply against huge Demand which is in this case coming from SALES ORDER
    When you place a sales order, the supplying location is your plant and that is where you would like to put in allocation quantities
    Say for example for a material 12345 - You have stock of 100 Qty in Plant KING fo this week and it shows as follows in the planning book
    Customers say are WALKART, GE-FUG, MACROGUN
    The CVCs which we have to create are as follows
    Similar to Demand PLanning**
    Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust WALKART-Prod Alloc Obj
    Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust GE-FUG-Prod Alloc Obj
    Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust MACROGUN-Prod Alloc Obj
    And this is how it appears in the planing book when you go into DETAILS ALL
    You basically enter the Allocation Quantities just as how you enter forecast quantities in DP Book*
                            Wk1   |  WK2     WK3   WK4  WK5
    Alloc Qty                     |
    Material 12345                |
    Plant KING                    |

    Cust MACROGUN          <u>20</u> |
    <u>50</u> : Say the Cust WALKART has ordered 250 for this week, however only the allocated quantity -50 will be confirmed for him and the remaining 200 qty will be confirme at a later week when he is given the allocated amount.
    <u>25</u> :Similarily say this customer GE-FUG has ordered 20 qty. So his remaining allocation is basically 5 which cannot be used by any other customer.
    <u>20</u> : Say this customer MACROGUN has ordered exactly the allocated amount of 20. So his remaining allocation will be 0.
    This is the basic idea of how Allocation Concept is used in GATP.
    Ofcourse you can add the other functionalities like
    Rules Based ATP(LOcation Substitution, Product Substitution)
    Multi ATP( BOM-COmponents)
    Check Aginst Forecast
    Etc Etc
    Like any other module of SAP- this module has much to offer which unfortunately I cannot list here**
    GOOD LUCK and let me know If you need additional help.

  • Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"

    Hi people,
    We have the error:
    =====================
    Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "117122"
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
    In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
    The system has found that the current plan period is not filled forproduct "117122" in plant "UBE1".
    We have the follow configuration in trans.: KE40:
    . Determine material cost estimate
       . Transf. Standard Cost Estimate
    . Costing Variant
    . Control Data for Standard Cost Estimate
       . Period Indicator = "Current Standard Cost Estimate acc. to entry in mat master
    . Addiitonal data CO-PC
        . Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency  "activated"
    We think the reason about our error is because the field above is activated and some configuration more is necessary for this case. For examplo: Trans.: OKYW and this one was not configurated yet.
    Do you know what happend?
    If we need to configure some transation, or sonly process the cost estimate?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

    Hello Guido
    Thank you very much for your return.
    It is happenning in a Client that some people are doing the configuration.
    Before we didin't have in KE40, the fiel "Transfer cost estimate in controlling area currency" activated.
    And now, the people activate that in this new Client and I don't know the impact about that.
    I think we have to make the configuration in OKYW.
    The other transation you told me, we don't have any information.
    Could you tell me some other idea what happend?
    Message error is just "Message no. KE350"
    Abou claculate the cost:
    It was calculated by trans.: CK11N for future planning and the real wasn't not possible to release because this material already have moviments.
    Could you tell us is there is some thing more to do?
    Thanks,
    Rosana.

  • How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

    How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

    Hi odedn,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, you mean that you want to copy the test plan with test results from the current team project
    to other team project, am I right?
    If yes, as far as I know that when we copy test plan with test results to other team proejcts. It is default that
    there just will not copy the test plan with test results (pass/fail) to other team project in MTM.
    You can refer the following MSDN document’s
    what gets cloned, it explained that which objects are copied from the source test plan to the destination test plan.

  • Planning with planning material

    Hi All,
    I am working on the make to stock scenario where I am working on the strategy 63(planning with planning material).
    As per scenario once I entered the sales order for variant material it should consume the PIR of the planning material but it did not happen with my case. I maintained the necessary master data for both the material like consumption parameters for planning material, strategy group 63 for both the materials, planning material for the variant material and individual and collective indicator for both materials but it didn't work.
    Can you please provide me the reason why it is not happening?
    Thanks in advance
    Lalit

    hi
    The system finds requirements type VSEV because the strategy group has been set to 63.
    See the Table of Planning Strategy Assignments.
    The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics -> Production -> MRP-> Evaluations ->Stock/reqmts list) displays the information for the planning material.
    The planned orders are not yet "real," because the variant product cannot be produced until after receipt of the sales order. Technically speaking, the planned orders have order type (VP). It is impossible to convert these (VP) planned orders into production orders, or to use them in a repetitive manufacturing environment. The Conversion field in the display of the planned order is not set, which indicates that it is not possible to produce this planned order.
    The MRP run also creates procurement requisitions for the components
    The main objective of this strategy has now been reached: procurement for the components has been triggered, even without sales orders, based on the sales forecast from Demand Management only. Procurement of the components can occur in a variety of ways. Here we are assuming that a goods receipt (for a purchase order, for example) takes place.
    A sales order for a variant material is entered
    · Suppose that, for this example, an order with a quantity of 90 pieces is entered with a required delivery date of today. This order can be confirmed after the first planned independent requirement date
    · The consumption parameters have been maintained correctly ( Consumption mode, Bwd consumption per., Fwd consumption per.) in the planning material.
    · This date and the planned independent requirements can be found.
    For more information, see Consumption Strategies and Logic.
