Planning without considering inventory of finished goods.

Hi
My users for asking for this, which don't make much sense to me, but I am a beginner in PP module. We are implementing MRP now. They want to input actual Production quantity in MD61 as PIR for the finished good and want MRP to generate Planned orders for whatever the quantity's entered in MD61, regardless of inventory, receipts for the MPS item. They want MRP to only look at component inventory and accordingly create Planned orders for dependant requirements. Is this possible in SAP & how do I do it?
Thanks
Suri

Hi Prasobh
Users want to continue to use their spreadsheet in arriving at the production plan & input that quantity in MD61 & have MRP create Planned orders for them, so that they can backflush against those planned orders, regardless of inventory situation for those finished goods. I am still not convinced about their decision on that. They want MRP to throw planned orders only when there is shortage of components, so that they can convert those to Purchase req. in order to buy them.
Appreciate your help..
regards
Suri

Inventory of Finished Goods (by comparing FERT code with coresponding HALB

Hi,
Can anyone send the coding to find out the folowing
1) Inventory of Finished Goods on a Particular Date
2) Production of Finishe Goods for a particular period.
Thanks in advance,
Karthik.

Hi All,
Just give a check by entering cenvat determination table. System checks this by default for excise details. Enter i/p and o/p material as same.
Hope this will resolve you Problem,

Finished goods transaction

Hi All,
1) May I know what kind of transaction that will create document type WA goods issue, WE goods receipt, WL goods issue/delivery, WI inventory document.
finished goods is balance sheet account and the rest are p&l.
2) if it is a consumption, debit finished goods credit consumption, what transaction is this?
3) if it is a transaction, credit finished goods debit goods issue, what transaction is this?
4) if it is a transaction, debit finished goods credit goods receipt, what transaction is this?
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for you replay, Below are the points.
1) Related to your fiest question, Transaction happend through MIGO with movement type 261.Incase it is reversal ie move type 262.
2) Please tell me your second point i didn't under stand.Good issue done through MB1B transaction with movement type 453.At this time your cogs cr and inve debit. Incase it is not the case please revert.
3) Kindly tell me the 3rd point clearely. As per your poing inv debti and GR Credit Means, it is happening through MIGO through movement type 101 ie regular good reciept.
Above all points are based on document type specified in PO.
As per your last point, Cogs would be a part using movement type 601 and 453. For consumption related cogs it won't come.Becuase inventory consumed so accounting entry shouldbe consumption a/c debit and inventory cr.
I hope you understand clearely, Incase any issue please revert back to me.
Regards

How to handle finished goods without PP module

Hi
I am a MM consultant and i have been placed in an implementation project where there is no PP module. But client wants to dispatch Finished goods without BOM and PP module but it needs to be captured through MM module.
Request your help and how to resolve this kind of scenario?
Expecting a favourable reply at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards
DVP

Hi Dusthakar,
Its not uncommon to have such a requirement to handle finished products in MM without using Production Planning module. You will maintain FG material#s as well as Raw Material#s. Create BOM for those FG materials. Create a vendor for your company on its own name. Create a Subcontracting Purchase Order for FG on to this vendor. It brings in BOM to PO,..,you may verify at material data tab of item. You can receive it to your plant. You may mark Free or charge on item. This will make it nothing to be paid to this vendor. FG comes to your plant. How do you like this approach We have been doing this for the past couple of years!
Reward points only if you are thrilled with this solution!

ATP Check Finished Goods against Components for production planning

Hi All,
Our business has a requirement that they want finished goods to be planned based on the availability of components. Currently we have an APO solution which plans at finished goods level only so there is no need to bring components into APO. We will probably use CTM (currently using Heuristics)
We have concerns about the harm that this will do to our system performance and we really do not want to bring these components into APO. We are therefore interested if there is any way we can avoid bringing these components into APO.
In the past, there use to be a seperate ATP server from SAP where this could be done but my understanding is that this was discontinued and is no longer supporetd. Can someone advise me if there was a product that replaced this ATP Server or does anyone have any suggestions on how we can avoid bringing the components into APO. Please consider that it is not possible to limit to just critical components.
Mark

Mark,
Hmmm.. Your seem to be considering adding hardware to support ATP server, but you seem unwilling to consider adding more hardware to the current SCM solution? Doesn't make much sense to me. Like most SAP products, SCM/APO can be expanded almost infinitely, if you need performance gains. Which you don't know yet.
Anyhow, depending on your requirements, CTM is probably overkill. PPDS or SNP alone would be adequate. If enhanced availability checking is what you want, then one of the GATP solutions would work.
I guess ATP server still exists (run transaction ACBD from ECC) but I don't think I have ever seen anyone use ATP server at the same time they are using SCM. All ATP server does is move the processing load of ECC ATP check onto a distinct buffered memory area. I don't see how that will solve your problem, but I guess I don't really understand what you mean by "planned based on the availability of components." You don't need anything special to plan FGs in SCM and components in R/3, this is pretty standard.

Finished Goods Rework - incorrect inventory after GR

Dear All,
What is the normal steps to setup in SAP for Rework of Finished Goods.
As this moment, we have a wrong inventory for those Rework FG.
The case is :
1. Goods return from Customer at Zero value, as we have to help customer to repair and ship back to them
2. We will create Return Sales Order, and perform goods receive from Customer
3. We will create Production Order and issue original FG to production line with extra materials + extra labour cost
4. When Production order complete and confirm, GR to stock, at this moment, the inventory will be at originally cost + extra materials + labour
As we just want to capture the rework FG cost at extra materials + labour cost.
How can we do it ?
Thanks a lot !

Goods return from Customer at Zero value, as we have to help customer to repair and ship back to them
Consider you have MTO scenario
We will create Production Order and issue original FG to production line with extra materials + extra labour cost
When Production order complete and confirm, GR to stock, at this moment, the inventory will be at originally cost + extra materials + labour
If you create a production order with out sale order in CO01, system will take a price from material master, , then you will get price as originally cost + extra materials + labour
If you don't want the price for FG, then follow this process
send the material into blocked stock
create a production order in Co07
enter the extra material in component overview.and tick the back flush indicator
confirm the operation in co15 & post the GI
After confirmation
move the fg from blocked to unrestricted
abd do the sale process

How to get Inventory -Finished Goods Values Plant wise in Balance Sheet

Hi,
1. Customer is using same finsihed goods material for plant 1100 and plant 1900
2. But the want to see 2 differant lines in balance sheet for inventory finished product.
3. For this can i create 2 diffferant valuation classes and 2 differant GL accounts? And assign the GL Accounts in BSX - OBYC?
Kindly help me..is there anything else do i need to do?
Thanks
Vimal

Hi,
The setting of different valuation class and different G/L accounts is fine for different plants.
Just see that your financial statment version is showing this two G/L account in the Finished goods inventory list and then you are done.

How to get Inventory -Finished Goods Values Plant wise

Hi,
Client is asking a Balance sheet. In that Balance Sheet, he wants plant wise break up for Inventory Finished Goods GL Account.
For Example:
Inventory finished goods - Plant 1100 = 120000
Inventory finished goods - Plant 1900 = 110000
How can we get plant wise break up in Balance sheet? How can it be possible in SAP? Please help me on this.
Thanks
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Use Transaction Code: FBL3N for obtaining the values of Inventory - Finished Goods Plant wise.
Give the following Inputs:
GL Account : Inventory - Finished Goods
Company Code - 1000 example
Click on Dynamic Selection Tab (Shift+F4) >> Click on Document (Spinner) >> Double Click on Plant >> You can see the input field at right side of the input fields. There give the plant number for which you are going to draw the report and Click on Dynamic Selection Tab to hide.
Now, select Line Item Select appropriatedly.
Execute.
This is working fine and your problem will get solved and make your client happy.

Identify if an item is a Raw Material or Finished Goods? Inventory Table

Hello All,
How do we identify Material_type - whether the goods received is a Raw Material or a Finished Goods. (it should be in some Inventory Table )
I need to find out from which table and which column do I get this information from?

Hi ,
In Inventory concepts, the table "MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B" holds the definitions for inventory items, engineering items, and purchasing items.
So if you were not sure what the item type is of then check the following table for item description in 'Description' Column, set the language and source_language columns to your required language
1. "MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_TL"
In specific to finished goods use the following query
SELECT ITEM_TYPE
FROM MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B
WHERE ITEM_TYPE = 'FG'; /******** Here FG = Finished Goods.
In others ( like Raw Material received from ) use the following item_type whichever applies to your requirement,
I - Inventory Type
P - Purchased item
SI - Supply item.
Regards,
@P

Inventory Valuation Difference for Finished Goods

Dear Experts,
I have a following query below when the FG Inventory valuation differences are posted
Finished goods price control is set as u201CSu201D
Eg: In Jan 2010 stock value 1000 ( 100*10)
Feb 2010 , opening stk of 1000 ( 100 units * 10 per piece)
In Feb 2010 , FG price has changed to 12 per piece ( Standard cost estimate executed)
System has posted the price difference entry
Debit FG stock 200/-
Credit Inv Price Diff 200/-
Now the query is, stocks pertaining to Jan 2010 are lying in Feb 2010,
When Inventory valuation is done, my profit is overstated in Feb 2010 for Jan 2010 stocks by 200/-
Is there any way to handle in SAP that it would post the price diff in Jan 2010, instead of Feb2010.
Advance thanks
Sanjai

Dear Ajay,
I will release std cost est in Jan and also in Feb.
But since the Jan stock is carried to Feb, during the month end when I value the FG , price difference for Jan stock is posted in Feb .
Currently the client wants to value the stock on actual basis, what is the best option to overcome. we are in BBP stage
Eg Jan stock value is 2000 ( 200*10)
     Feb Stock Value of goods produced in Feb is (100*12) 1200
     Feb end stock as per the client it should be 2000+1200 = 3200
     Note - But as per standard costing my price will be 3600 ( 300*12
Thanks
Sanjai

Factory Output Account for Goods Receipt on Finished Goods Inventory

Hello Experts,
Factory Output Account for Goods Receipt on Finished Goods Inventory:
Could someone suggest if anyone has ever been able to separate the variances that normally post to a factory output account into one separate G/L account. My experience has always been that good receipts to finished goods inventory and the corresponding variances have always posted to the same factory output account. My client wants to separate this posting into two separate accounts. Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
You can use separate G/L account for Factory Output Account for Goods Receipt on Finished Goods Inventory and Variances.
goto OBYC T.code do the following settings.
GBB-->AUA-assign gl account
PRD-->PRD-assign gl account.
one question from my side.
If you are using same account for both entries, where do you assing GL accounts in OBYC?
Thanks,
Rau

Uploading Production Requirements For Finished Goods From External System To Run MRP For Components in SAP.

Hello Production Planning experts,
I'm looking to solve the current business problem:
The company bought a third party software (JD Edwards) to calculate production requirements instead of using SAP's standard Production Planning or a tool like SAP's APO. They run a batch job to query Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from sap and feed/upload it to the third party software so it can calculate the Finished Goods Production Requirements for them. They love the third party software, so replacing it is not an option. Since the third party software is already taking into account Sales Orders, Deliveries, available stock, stock in transit, etc. from SAP, it just outputs a "Finished Goods Production Schedule" by week.
My questions are:
1) What's the best way to upload something like that in SAP in the form of Planned Orders or something of that nature?
After i get that schedule in SAP:
2) Is there any way to calculate components' requirements for that "Finished Goods Production Schedule" alone? The company would like to IGNORE existing stock AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc) for Finished Goods ONLY. The components calculations would work the standard MRP way, taking into account existing stock and AND expected-goods-issues in the future (sales orders, deliveries, etc)
I started looking into Master Production Schedule (MPS), but I don't know if that's the right approach since I'm not very familiar with it.
Thanks in Advance! I will gladly reward points for helpful/correct answers.

Hello Oscar
I suggest you to upload your production plan in the for of "Planned Independent Requirements" using BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE. Later, MRP will create planned orders to cover the PIRs.
If you don't want to consider the existing stock of the finished product, you should use the planning strategy 11 to create your PIRs. Take a look on the following link for more details about this planning strategy:
Gross Requirements Planning (11) - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
Here you will find the following information:
The make-to-stock strategy gross requirements planning is particularly useful in mass production environments; it is often combined with repetitive manufacturing. This strategy is particularly useful if you need to produce, regardless of whether you have stock or not. For instance, steel or cement producers might want to use this strategy because they cannot shut down production; a blast furnace or a cement factory must continue to produce, even if this means having to produce to stock.
This strategy is also frequently used if there is a Material Requirements Planning system in a legacy system that needs to be linked to an SAP system which serves as a production execution system. The legacy system calculates a specific production plan, which has to be executed, regardless of the stock situation in the SAP system
It looks like this planning strategy is exactly what you are looking for.
