PP - Phantom Assembly Alt Item in BOM not loaded in Planned Order

Hi all,
I have a scenario where in my finished product, I have several components organized in Alternate Group, and for each group, I define a component as Prime (100% usage) and others as Alternate (0% utilization). Among these there are some components that are configured as Phantom (Special Procurement 50), and these Phantom items, when they are Alternate in the BOM, ie, 0% Probability of Use in Alternate Item Group, it is not loaded in the list of components in Planned Order. Only the Phantom that is as Prime in BOM is showed in the Planned Order, together with their subcomponents.
The other components that are not phantom, usually appear within the Planned Order, those that have 100% utilization, and those who have 0% utilization set in the BOM. Obviously, all requirement is pointed in the Prime Item, but I can change according to availability of material in MDVP or manually in CO02.
When the Production Order is created directly by CO01, without conversion of planned order, the list of components typically brings all the Phantoms, independently of the Probability Use %.
Someone tell me if there is some kind of configuration to allow the Phantoms Optional also be uploaded to the component list of planned orders without having to change the percentage of use in BOM.
Thanks in advance.

Hello MCantos,
When you have maintained the usage probability as 0% for a alternative component, that means you do not want that partular material to be planned further. In short this is just an Engineering Relevant Material (is not required in Production activity).
When this alternate material with usage probability 0% is phantom material, you want its components to be proposed. But you yourself have answered that this phantom material has usage probability 0% and this means it is not required in Production and thus its components as well are not required. Thus system is not exploding the BOM and proposing the material at the time of Production activity.
Hope I answered your query. Please check your usage probability for phantom assembly part and if required correct the same so that you can achive what you want.
Thanks,
Rahul.

To find BOM from a closed Planned Order in REM process.

Hi,
Pl. let me know how to find Planned order no. and its BOM which has been closed?
In mb51 we get only Order no. which is not the pld ord and we cannot get the bom.
pl. help.

Hi,
Planned Order details are available in Table : PLAF.
Once you convert a Planned order into Production Order the Planned Order will be deleted from PLAF.
You can only view the Planned order number from the Production order tables AFPO/AFKO where you need to provide the production order number and get the planned order number (PLNUM).
If you want to find the BOM items of the planned order which is converted to Production can be known from the table : RESB, where you can provide the Planned order number fetched from the AFPO/AFKO tables.
Hope this will help you.

Why the basic finish date is not adjusted in planned orders

Hi, all.
Can anybody help me to understand:
"Why the basic finish date is not adjusted in planned orders during
forward scheduling, but in production order basic finish date is adjusted?
It is look like non-coordination between groups of developers.
And lead to situation, when planner don't see in MD04 when he can really wait material receipt. He must go to planed order and check production data there, it's unusable."
Am I right, or SAP have it's own logic.

Hi,
Production orders are different story. Since production order is a constant element, they are not created in the course of MRP, basic dates can be adjusted. In production order basic finish date is adjusted, but you won't see for the upper level materials', basic dates of the planned orders adjusted according to the prodcution order you create. Production order is consistent within itself in terms of date and is not dependent to other elements of MRP, but planned orders are not like that.
MRP creates planned orders whose basic finish dates are calculated by subtracting goods receipt time from production start date of the source of requirement. MRP works backwards without changing directions. Meanwhile if any production finish date is calculated different than the basic finish date due to forward scheduling, in order not to violate the alignment between the basic finish date and source of requirement's start date, basic finish date is not adjusted. If it was, dates of all the planned orders calculated so far at the upper levels of the BOMs had to be recalculated, otherwise all the consistency of all the dates is violated. This cannot be done because changes in any level affects all lower levels.

Re-exploding BOM at conversion of planned order to production order

Hi, all.
I'd like to be able to specify that the planned orders I'm converting to production order re-explode the BOM on the scheduled date rather than the basic date of the production order.
I want to be able to do this in customizing rather than specifying a BOM Explosion Date (fixed key date) in the planned order or independent requirements. Is there anything in customizing that could do this?
Thanks!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I think you have checked the note:
391846 Modif: Reading master data when converting planned order
Because only with the modification of this note, you will be able to re-explode the BOM when converting the planned order to production order, however, there is no way to set the BOM explosion date to the scheduled date during the conversion, there is no such customizing as the note only add three action for this function:
     ' ' Do not read
     '1' Read with explosion date from planned order
     '2' Read with newly determined explosion date
So if you need such function, you may try to develop the modification by yourself.

Rachel

Deployment - setting for system not to create planned orders.

hi
I am executing deployment at the plant level.
i have req. of 8000 on 26th and 9000 on 27th.
i created a stock of 3000 on 25th.
i am executing push deployment and maintained setting accordingly.
After completion of deployment, system deploys the stock ie 3000 and creates Planned order for the remaining 5000 to meet the demand of 8000.
What setting has to be maintained such that system only deploys 3000 or the stock only and does not create a planned order for the unful filled demand. ???
in onther words system should deploy the stock and should not do anything more than that.
Thanks.

Hi Aswath,
Can you answer these few questions for me? I will be able to answer your more appropriately.
What is the order of planning runs in your system?
1. DPR for demand at DC that creates distribution demand at the plant
2. Deployment of the current stock at the plant
3. Planning run at the plant to create planned order for any demand left out
Is that the order? This does not make good sense for me but I don't know your scenario.
What kind of deployment run are you suing? deployment heuristics or optimizer?
In both the cases, you have "delete" and "reduce" option.
The system deploys the stock at the DC based on the distribution demand ( coming from DC to Plant).
If you use delete option, the system deploys for the amount of stock it has and deletes the remaining distribution demand.
So, if you got distribution demand of 100 PCs, there is only 50 PCs stock at plant, the plant deploys 50 and deletes the other 50 PCs distribution demand at the plant. You need to rerun DRP at DC if you want to get back this demand.
If you use reduce option, the system deploys for the amount of stock it has and reduces the remaining distribution demand.
So, if you got distribution demand of 100 PCs, there is only 50 PCs stock at plant, the plant deploys 50 and reduces the distribution demand at the plant to 50 PCs.
I think you have the second case and you are running planning run at the plant and it's creating orders. If you don't want the system to create them, use the "delete" option in deployment run.
Please let me know if I am getting your point right.

BOM not exploding in Sales order & Net Value error

Hello Dear all,
I have created a product "A" with BOM items 10, 20 & 30.
Item cat. Gr for "A" is ERLA & for 10, 20 & 30 is LUMF.
I have also created BOM with these 3 matls. (ie 10, 20 & 30).
When processing Sales Order Item cat. appeared in SO for "A" is TAP & for other 3 is TAN. "A" shows the price maintained for it, but not showing Net Value at Header level data in SO.
Also document is incomplete because of Net value for Items 10, 20 & 30.
I don?t want price of 10, 20 & 30 should display in SO at Item level
Can anyone suggest the required setting?
Thanks
Shan

hi,
For BOM mainly two material groups are used.
LUMF and ERLA.
If you used ERLA in the main material which consists of different materials then the pricing would be carried out only for the main item, while the other sub items pricing would not be displayed.
while if you use LUMF then the main material would not be priced but only the sub items would be relevant for pricing the the total of all the sub items forms the basis of the sales order net value.
regarding the net value error you can just check the pricing configuration for the steps and sub total.
regards,
Siddharth.

Unit of measure changed in BOM not reflected in Production order

We noticed the following problem in one of our production order.
1. We have a bom component having a unit of measure MT.
2. A planned order already exists for this header material.
3. We changed the unit of masure in the same BOM component to KG.
4. We processed the production order and did confirmations and did auto GR.( Value 20 times high)
5. The cost at GR is very high , although the material consumption is considering the changed unit of measure KG.
Any possible solution to this problem,
Thanks,
Manohar

All steps suggested including read PP master data , rerun MRP and generate a new planned order and then convert to a new production order, have been done but the effect at 101 remains same with high actual costs.
The production order is acocunt-assigned to a WBS.
In table QBEW , the standard price is updated as very high. We havs S as price control in header material master.
May be , some one has some idea about how the standard price in Table QBEW gets updated. What is the source for this standard price which gets updated on doing GR ( It comes to project stock and we see the standard price being very high and so the actual cost is very high)
Thanks,
Manohar

Decrete job receipts not cosidered in planned order

recently found couple of items having MPS/MPP planning method having descrete job receipts but when MRP shows planned orders it does not consider descrete job receipts. If i change planning method to MRP/MPP it does consider those descrete job receips. I would want it to consider descrere job receipts with MPS/MPP planning as well like its doing for MRP/MPP...any hints what setup is missing?
Thanks in advance.

the MRP run does not convert planned order to requisitions.
the MRP run either creates planned orders OR requisitions.
this is based on the setting made at MRP run selection screen, and the procurement indicator in the material master.
Assume you have made the setting "always create requisitions" for the MRP run, then SAP still checks the material master procurement indicator.
if it is a F for external procurement, then it will create requisition, it is a E for internal procurement, then it will create planned orders. if it is an X for both procurements possible, then it will create as well planned orders, so that the planner can finaly make the decision from where it will be procured.

PMEVC calculations are not shown in planned order

Dear Experts ;
I have a strange issue that I need help with please the multilevel characteristic values dependency
first I created Material Z Semi-finished with classification view which has 2 characteristics as shown below
then I created Material M KMAT with only one characteristic as shown
then I created the BOM for material M as shown
now I tested the variant with the dependency through PMEVC as following
check result
Now lets check the Planned Order
NOW IT GIVES A WRONG RESULT
CAN ANYBODY HELP ?????

Not to convert planned orders into production orders.

I donot want to convert all the planned orders in a plant into production orders on a specific date only ( SAY on 5th Oct -2007 planned orders should not be converted to production orders in a particular plant).pl tell me what customisation is required to be changed or else what is the solution.
jpb

Hi,
Planned order is just a system proposed order its upto the user if they want to use all or part of it, for this they have to convert them.. If you dont want to convert them you can delete them as else the SNP will keep considering it as a valid supply.
If the planned orders are not required on some particular dates on a permanent basis then you need to modify the Factory calender accordingly, so that the system will consider as if the resources are not available on thoese dates.
Reward point plz...

MRP not rescheduling the planned order by itself

Hi,
After MRP i could see that the planned order is not present as per the date of the requriement whereas the planned order at a future date is given a Exception message 30 : Plan accordingly to schedule and proposed the date of the requirement. The requirement is beyound the replenishement lead time and hence MRP should reschedule by itself the planned order as per the date of the requirement rather than giving a exception message as above for a future dated planned order.
I am not sure what is it i am missing. Could you explain.
Thank you

Dear ,
MRP will re schedule the planned order based couple of inputs and checks during MRP run .Basically , it depends on following
In MRP exectuion you should keep : Procesisng Indicator : NETPL: The system only plans materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to the planning run within the period which you defined as the planning horizon. The system sets the net change planning horizon indicator automatically for these materials
Planning Mode : 3-Delete and Re-create Planning
It also depend on following set up and you need to analysie that :
1.Planning Time Fence : based on the PTF , there will not be any automatic changes relevent for MRP
2.MRP Type : PD , it will adoped normal planning and it will not re-schedule order proposal automatically .In you case can use P1-Automatic Firming and Re-schedule Out Of Order Proposal based planning time Fence
3.Keep your Planning Horzon more than the Highest Material Lead Time in Material Master MRP2 View
Please check and revert

Modifying Sales order in ECC does not modify the planned order in APO?

Hello,
I have the next situation, a MTO scenario, LPP material,:
- users create a sales order, quantity 2000M, 2 individual lenghts by 1000M. In automatically, being a MTO scenario, APO generates a planned order to fulfill the requirement with 2000 M qty, individual lenght 1000.
- users modify the sales order, the quantity 2000 M remains, but will change it in 1 individual lenght by 2000M. APO cancels the precendently created planned order and generates another one, with individual lenght 2000.This is OK.
-users modify the sales order, the quantity remains 2000 M, but again 2 individual lenghts by 1000 M. In this case, the planned order is not cancelled, as expected, but remains with individual lenght 2000, which is not ok.
Any idea how to fix this?

Alex

Setup time not seen for Planned Orders/ Man Orders in GPB

Hi all,
I'm facing an issue where I'm unable to see the Setup activity(green bar) in the Graphical Planning Board for Planned Orders and Manufacturing Orders.
At first I thought this was only happening for Planned Orders in Released status. However this behavior seems to be erratic with some orders on the same Product showing Setup whereas others are not.
Any ideas?
~Rishi

Hi,
I am assuming you are using setup matrix .
In case of setup matrix system will take setup time from setup matrix.
If two planned order are created for the same product, system will consider the setup time for the first. For the second it will not show setup time (becasue most probably you have maintained product x to product x - o times).

BOM NOT Exploding in Sales Order

Hi,
I have created Sales BOM in CS01 and now while creating sales order it is not exploding.
can you please tell me how can i explode the same or why it is not exploding.
Also one more query, i have created sales orderBOM and have saved it. Now 1 item from it i dont want to deliver. Is it possible? Pricing of this BOM is at Item level.
Please advise.
Thanks

VK,
The BOM is created for the finished material or semifinished material, for which sales is done. The bom is executed to make sure or find the material availability based on which this materials are passed to production.
In case of Sales BOM it is composition of materials that makes final or finished material. It is only an information to the customer that finished material is composed of these sub materials. If you go through Sales BOM article you will be clear. you use ERLA, if the material that you are issuing is completed (here price is calculated at the main item level) or you use LUMF if the material is not completed (here the price is calculated from sub item level).
So those items are subjected to delivery but not for deletion.
Regards
Sathya

Item category is not determined in CRM order

Hi Friends,
Our requirement is as follows
We have 1 sales org like Z111 and 2 distribution channels like dist chan Z1 and Z2, we want a material say for eg "material A" should be 3rd party item by assigning item category grp "BANS" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1. The same material i.e, "material A" should be standard item by assigning "NORM" in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
We have done the above scnario in CRM system ( we have assigned BANS for material A in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 and NORM for the same material in sales org Z111 and dist chan Z2.
But problem is when I create order for sales org Z111 and dist chan Z1 in CRM, the item category is determined as TAN instead TAS. Item category determination is already existing the CRM system.
This scenario is working fine in my back end system i.e, R/3 but it is not wrking in CRM.
Can anyone give me some clue about this.
Thanks in advance
JM

Hi JM
First check in your CRM system if the material in extended to both the distribution channels.
Tcode: COMMPR01
Sale org tab should have entry for dist chan Z1 and Z2.
Click on Z1 and maintain iten cat grp : BANS
Click on Z2 and maintain iten cat grp : NORM
Now check your item category determination. It should have following 2 entries:
IMG > CRM > transactions > basic settings > define item category determination
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: BANS
item category: TAS
transaction type: ZORD
item category group: NORM
item category: TAN
hope this helps
