PPDS PPM is deactivated

Dear Experts,
As we know whenever we put to (lock for any usage) a Production Version in R/3 this change is logged in table CIF_PPM_CHANGED which is then picked up by program RSPPMCHG. After running program RSPPMCHG the PPDS PPM in APO in return gets inactive and the description is changed to: Plan Invalid (Prod.Vers. Deleted in R/3).
The problem is our PPDS PPM is in inactive status and has a description: Plan Invalid (Prod.Vers. Deleted in R/3).
The change in PPM is dated 6/20/2011 in APO.
We already checked MM04 to display any changes for the material and the last change was dated 4/20/2011 for C223.
There is no change from 6/20/2011.
How come the PPDS PPM in APO gets inactive if there is no changes in the Production Version in R/3? Is there any other way to deactivate the PPM aside from running program RSPPMCHG? is there a log in APO to see the changes made in the PPM?
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks and best regards,
Marcus

Hi Nandha,
The Production Version is Not locked in C223.
I checked MM04 just now and the last change I see is dated 4/20/2011.
But in the PPM the change happened on 6/20/2011 and is now still Inactive.
We have a batch job running RSPPMCHG everyday.
Thanks,
Marcus

Manual creation of PPDS PPM in SCC03

Hello Experts
We are currently in process of experimenting PPDS PPM, since we have multiple components to sourced and produced from subcontractor. I need a step by step instruction of how to create manual PPDS PPM.
I did tried SCC03 and create Activity, resource and PPM but still I am missing something, and I am not able to acitvate my PPM. I used use of plan P to create PPM.
This is the scenario which I need help
I have 1 final SKU which has two components (Welcome Kit and Device)
Welcome kit delivered from a supplier
Device is assembled in one of our plant or we may decide to assemble at subcontractor location (we are still finalizing)
The above device has 100 to 150 components and sub-components which will be produced and delivered by the sub-contractors.
Thanks in advance!
Ash

Hi Ash,
I assume your execution takes place in R/3 / ECC, right?
Why you don't maintain the BOM, the Routing and the Production Version in R/3 / ECC and then create the PPM through the CIF? I think this is much easier.

PPDS PPM to SNP PPM

Hello Experts,
I am CIFfing production versions to create PPDS PPMs in APO. From there I am creating SNP PPMs.
The question is, when I do initial CIF of all the production versions(some production versions are old and some are new), how do I find a list of the PPDS PPMs that are still not converted to SNP PPMs.
Also is there a list which shows PPDS PPM plan along with the respective SNP PPM plan?
I tried referring the table /sapapo/plan, but it just gives the plan number, date of creation etc etc. Not even the Input/ouput products and the location.
Regards
Manotosh

Hi,
Use the BAPI : BAPI_PPMSRVAPS_GETLIST to get the PPM details.
/SAPAPO/PLAN_GEN to get the details of SNP PPM generated from PPDS PPM in the coloumn Plan generated.
Thanks,

SNP PPM Generation from PPDS PPM - Time less than 1 sec. in snp bucket con

Dear All,
Request immediate help .
(a) My PPDS PPM have time elements less than 1 seconds towards processing time and there are operations without a set up time .
(b) While converting such a PPM PPM into an SNP PPM I get an error of bucket consumption as SNP cannot convert less than 1 second into a daily bucket .
(c) I have to maintain the base qty in BOM and Routing as 1 unit hence cannot increase the same .
(d) Is there a way in which SNP PPM can be generated from a PPDS PPM wherein the PPDS PPM has only a processing time of 1 second and no set up time .
(e) Infact I have tried to convert the PPDS PPM with a time of 1.5 seconds but now I have lot of products where the routing suggests a processing of less than 1second and no set up . This is leading to a PPDS PPM of time less than 1 second and SNP PPM is not getting generated as guess it cannot convert a PPDS PPM with less than 1.5 seconds in a day .
Would appreciate a quick response .
Thanks and Best Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Hi
Firstly, can I ask why the base unit has to be 1, this seems a strange restriction?
If it has to be, then two possible solutions:
1) In the CIF enhancement CIFPPM01 you could multiply all values by, for example, 100 to give you larger values in the PP/DS PPM in APO and hence of a size that SNP conversion can cope with.
2) In one of the BADI's /sapapo/ppm_calc or /sapapo/ppm_gen you can do the same conversion factor if the PP/DS PPM has to also be 1 unit.
Hope this helps

Converting PPDS PPM to SNP PPM

Hello,
On converting a PPDS PPM to an SNP PPM which has multiple activities(operations). Is there a way to generate the SNP PPM the same number of activities included in the PPDS PPM to capture one Resource for each SNP PPM. Or it has to be converted multiple times?
Thanks.
Edited by: Wilian Segatto on Aug 18, 2010 3:19 PM

Hi,
Below is an example:
PP/DS PPM A
Activity 1 - Resource A
Activity 2 - Resource B
Activity 3 - Resource C
If PP/DS PPM is set-up like the example above, can this be converted to 3 different PPMs for the 3 different resources in one conversion? Or i would need to do the conversion three times to generate the SNP PPMs (examples below)?
SNP PPM 1A
Activity 1 - Resource A
SNP PPM 1B
Activity 1 - Resource B
SNP PPM 1C
Activity 1 - Resource C
SNP PPMs are set-up per resource to monitor utilization and capacity per resource. Also, resources are set up per production line in ERP.
Thanks

SNP PPM Generation after the delta change in PPDS PPM

Dear Colleagues,
In oss note 1172838 SAP AG states that there is no auto link to
generate SNP PPMs from PPDS PPMs,when PPDS PPMs are changed from R/3
and recommends the customers to do that manually.
Yes, that is possible if the company uses not more that 50-100 PPMs,
but that is not the case in our business.
We have ~10000 SNP PPMs and it is impossible to track the changes and
update the PPMs manually.
What we need (when there is a change in PPDS PPM) is a report which will:
1. Delete SNP PPM with invalid mode combination and the Production
(Planned) orders which use that PPM. The old SNP PPM must be deleted as
the existing name of SNP PPM is required.
2. Create a new mode combination taking into account the changes in the
PPDS PPM.
Then we will run transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_CONV_310 and generate the new
SNP PPMs.
Task in point 1 can be done with transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_DEL,
but it does NOT give us the possibility to select only SNP PPMs
with invalid/obsolete mode combinations. Besides that it can not be run in
background, but in foreground.
Would you share you experience if you have faced the same/similar problem.
Best Regards,
Alper Myumyun

Hi Senthil,
The problem is that the mentioned check does not work. I have even opened an oss message where I have got the following answer:
First you have to re-generate the SNP PPM (invalidity of the old mode combination will be generated) and then the
check will warn you about the invalidity.
This is so because at the first stage there is no issue of it being obsolete until a new one is created.
At the point that you Generate SNP PPM is when the mode invalidity is generated and not before. So its not possible for the warning to have come when there is no invalidity.
/SAPAPO/SAPLSCC_CPIT2 looks scary. There are tons of includes in it. Would you specify which one is used for the mentioned check? INCLUDE /SAPAPO/LSCC_CPIT2F09?
Thanks for your help.

SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM and manually creating PPMs in SNP

I am a new user to APO and have a small question. I will appreciate if you could help me out.
We are implementing SNP, with plans to implement PPDS in the future.
Could you please explain the difference between converting SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM or manually creating PPMs in SNP.
Thank you

Creating PPDS PPM

Hi, While trying to CIF PPM in APO 5.0, getting the error "Activity Network is not complete"
Message no /SAPAPO/PPM_MAINTAIN517
Diagnosis
The activity network does not include all activities of the PPM.
Procedure
Check that the activity relationships of your PPMs are complete.
Any remedy??
Regards, Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,
You need to check the activity relationships. Suggest you check each activitiy relationships (SS, SF, FS, FF) from Reference Type field and draw them out on a piece of paper to see if there is any activity which is not properly linked.
Remedy is to rectify any missing relationship in the PPM.

Production Within a Shift - field in the PPDS PPM

Hi ,
We have two shifts per day.
Our requirment is; Planned Order should not exceed shifts.
We are using PDS. Shifts and Breaks are defined in APO
Please help.

Hi,
There is equivalent field in PDS as there in no analogous feild in ecc routing and you cannot maintain values directly in pds you can set required value in pds using exit/Badi.

Difference between PDS and PPM and which one should be used for SNP /ppds?

Hi Gurus,
Just wanted to know what are the difference between PDS and PPM ?
1. For what industrial products we use PDS and PPM in SNP and PPDS?
2. which one can be refered to clients?
Please let me know it will be really great if anyone let me know the answers
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajkumar,
I have given below the detailed comparative account of PDS Vs PPM. Please copy and put it in an excel sheet in different columns and then read which is easy to understand.
PDS
1. Production Data Structure (PDS) in APO 3.1 & Run Time Object (RTO) in 4.0 and above versions
2. Master Data Object
3. Useful for scenarios where the compoenent has got different validity periods
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data from iPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering) generated from a production version
6. PPDS PDS & SNP PDS can be used as master data for planning
7. Change Management, variant configuration & Phantom assemplies are supported in PDS
8. Sub-contracting in SNP is fully integrated with R/3 is supported in PDS
9. Direct transfer of SNP PDS from R/3 is possible
10.Rapid Planning Matrix can be generated
11. Not possible to maintain PDS directly in APO and can be used only in combination with R/3
12. The transfer of data changes is simpler
13. Not possible to create alternate SNP-PDS in std system for different mode combinations
14. PDS can be automatically generated from two sources ie R/3 and iPPE
PPM:-
1. Production Process Model
2. Master Data Object
3. Cannot be used for scenarios where the component has got different validity period
4. Used as Master data Basis for Planning in SAP-APO
5. Contains active Master data generated from the combination of routing (BoM & receipe) and production versions
6. PPDS PPM & SNP PPM's can be used as master data for planning
7. Not supported by PPM
8. Not supported by PPM
9. Not possible here. SNP PPMs will be generated via PPDS PPMs
10. Not possible
11. PPMs can be directly created in APO and can be modified without R/3 also.
12. Little Complex when compared to PDS
13. Alternate SNP-PPMs can be easily created
14. PPM can be generated automatically generated only from R/3
PDS is used in industries wherein there are multiple components or assemblies having diffeent production versions whose validity periods are different. PPM is being used typically in process industries, chemical industries. PPM is very simple in its usage and very flexible in operations in terms of modifications at APO level and can be referred to client depending on the business requirement

PPDS to SNP PPM conversion error log

Dear all,
Iu2019m facing an issue in PPM conversion from PPDS to SNP.
I have deleted the both PPDS & SNP PPM for a product/location combination & the corresponding PV has been made invalid.
I have created a new PV for the product/location combination.
When I execute CIF & conversion for the newly created PV, though system is generating both new PPDS & SNP PPMu2019s but at the same time it issuing error messages referring the deleted PPMu2019s in transaction /SAPAPO/PPM_CONV_LOG - SNP PPM Generation: Display Log.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue. More over I would like to know is there any table where the deleted PPMu2019s data is stored which system is referring while generating new PPMu2019s?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shaiz,
I am surprised at the behavior of system. PV is invalid and still it is giving error message.
Please try to CIF new PPM for newly created PV after making earlier PPM inactive.
If the above said option does not work.
I could suggest you to try this. Let's hope it works.
1) Delete all SNP and PPDS PPM for this product location combination.
Make sure PPMs are inactive and deleted.
2) Delete the PV which is invalid and maintain only one valid PV.
Now try to CIF it afresh.
As far as your last question is concerned.
all the plans can be accessed by table /SAPAPO/PLAN
You will get all the details about all PPMs in this table along with the status if PPM (Active/Inactive)
Hope this helps. Let us know if it works.

Abhay Kapase

Secondary Resource in the operation "SETUP" of a PPM

Hi experts,
I need to record directly in APO (SCC03) a PPDS PPM with a secondary resource which should be considered in the setup activity
I recorded the following:
Operation          Activity          Activity Type          Mode           Resource
0010                    0010                    S                         1          WLINE_1
0010                    0010                    S                         1          SECONDARY_RESOURCE
0020                    0010                    P                         1          WLINE_1
In the activity 0010 (operation 0010) I placed a flag in the field "setup activity"
When I tried to actívate the PPM, the system sent me the message:
     OPERATION 0010 ONLY CONTAINS A SETUP ACTIVITY
How I can to solve this issue?
How I can include a Secondary Resource in the setup operation of the PPM?

How are you logging into the system? Are you using the Fingerprint to login or the password in Client Security Solution (CSS)? Remember that Client Security Solution controls your settings for the Password Manager (Security settings for Fingerprint reader data are controlled by CSS also)
You can go to Start -> All Programs -> ThinkVantage (or Lenovo Care) -> Client Security Solution
If you have CSS version 8, you should see a Menu Bar at the top.. You can click on Advanced , then Reset - this will allow you to clear all password data from the Password Manager.
In addition to the "Reset" option, you also have the ability to "Manage" your settings. Use this to make changes to way you log into Windows at boot. You should have 5 options listed under "Manage". This also allows you to decide whether or not to use the Fingerprint when signing on.
If you are trying to clear you fingerprint data, that can be done from BIOS
F1 -> Security -> Fingerprint -> Erase Internal Fingerprint Data -> "Yes" to confirm.
You should also take the time to read this Guide on Fingerprint Reader Tips below:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59650
Also read over "Client Security Solution 8.0- Considerations"
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66965
I hope this will provide some help.

PPDS Log Error-Activity Net Contains a Cycle

Hi Friends,
Need your help in solving one issue.
In PPDS Log error report, I am getting an error"PPM0000.......xxx: Activity net contains a cycle".
On doing analysis we found that in PPDS PPM under activity relationships, the operation / activity field in predecessor and successor are same.
Could anyone please help me understanding the reason for this and how can we rectify this?
Thanks and regards,
Indrajit D Chaudhuri

Hi Indrajit D Chaudhuri,
PPM is generated based on bom and routing in R/3 data, the
exact replica of R/3 data results in PPDS PPM
Hence the predecessor/successor at the activity relationship
is based on R/3 data.
I would suggest to check the bom and routing and correct the
master data accordingly and recif it and then try

Mass Upload of Define Mode Combinations_PPDS to SNP PPM

Dear All ,
I am converting huge numbers of PPDS PPMs to SNP PPMs , I would need your support in telling me a mass upload ( program ) for defining Mode Combinations transaction .
As such a BDC has been prepared but that takes a very long time for pushing data in this transaction .
Thanks and Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Dear Murali ,
I have specific field values e.g. variable lot size , without PPDS Campaign , Blank Mode Combination to be selected .
When we select the PPDS PPM no. or Product Location Combination inserting all these values in the table after execute done on the selection screen needs manual entry of all the field values .
Data is really very huge and was wondering if there could be a quicker way out . There is more SNP PPM converted from PPDS PPM due to alternate modes of 10-15 in many of the PPDS PPMs .
Would appreciate any further help .
Thanks and Best Regards ,
