Procurement Priority in SNP run

Folks
What is the significance of Procurement Priority in a T-Lane ?. Say, if I have two T-lanes for the same product and location combination with different Procurement Priorities, what effect would this have in SNP hueristic run.
From the help I read that, SNP takes Procurement Priority field into account if automatic cost generation is used, and have set the Procurement Priority of PPMs/PDS or Procurement Priority of Transportation Lanes indicator in the SNP or deployment optimization profile.
In which screen exactly is this Procurement Priority of Transportation Lanes indicator set in SNP ?
Thanks

The system uses the procurement priorities of the sources of supply with zero being highest priority.
From the help I read that, SNP takes Procurement Priority field into account if automatic cost generation is used, and have set the Procurement Priority of PPMs/PDS or Procurement Priority of Transportation Lanes indicator in the SNP or deployment optimization profile
If the priorities are the same, a source of supply with low costs takes precedence over a source with high costs. The costs might consist of transportation and procurement costs. The system determines the costs automatically in source determination.
If the priorities and the costs are the same, in-house production takes precedence over external procurement.
SNP optimizer basically determines the most cost-efficient solution, its sourcing decisions are also cost-based, which means the optimizer does not take into account procurement priorities
Deployment determines the destination locations to which the product stock is to be distributed. Therefore, deployment only considers transportation lanes as sources. So,deployment optimizer generally decides which source locations to distribute available product stock to and which means of transport to use, based on the lowest total costs and by considering all restrictions (such as transport capacity) In doing so, the system may also take detours into consideration.
In which screen exactly is this Procurement Priority of Transportation Lanes indicator set in SNP
In the Tcode /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1-->Product Procurement, you set the Procurement Priority.

Scheduling Lines from SNP Run

Hi,
R3 by MRP Run system automatically cretes Scheduling Lines (Procurement)
Same thing is possibles in APO also after SNP run?
Sorry, I dont know about APO.
But my client is having APO and R3.
Thanks
Prasad

Dear Prasad
SNP run also generates Schedule lines required the followin is mapped
1. PIR is Ciffed to APO
2. Scheduling Agreement is Ciffed to APO.
IN Case of Sub contracting Schedule lines
1. PIR should carry the production version
2. Sub contracting PPM should be ciffed to APO
3. Scheduling agreement should be ciffed to APO

PPM - Procurement priority

We are exploring Capacity leveling with optimization method. from the SAP help documentation, it is understood that Optimizer generates the cost based on the procurement priority maintained in the cost.
Excerpt from SAP Help:
"Optimization-Based Capacity Leveling
The system considers the alternative resources according to the
procurement priority of the PPMs or PDS. The system automatically
converts this priority into costs, so that PPMs or PDS with higher
priorities are considered first. The costs of the original resource are
defined by the system as lower than the costs of the alternative
resources, so that this resource always has the highest priority for
the
optimizer and so that the system uses it completely first."
Base on the info, we setup the PPM master data.In my scenario, we have a product that can be produced on 5 different work centers so i created 5 PPM and assigned different proc priority codes like 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. PPM with priority code 1 is primary resource and rest are alternative.
Expectation was that when CL-OPT is run, Optimizer would generate costs as per the priority codes where 1 is higher priority so lowest cost and rest would be incremental higher cost.Which would drive the leveling of the resource load.
But the fact is optimizer created lower cost 250 for priority 1 PPM and 500 for rest of the PPMs.
I would like to understand, is this the correct behavior as it does not align with the SAP help document and we are not able to get appropriate results.

If you have ERTMS as the sorting criterion, then it is the create date. Otherwise it is purely random. Dont bet on alphabetical as I have sometimes observed to the contrary.

Deployment with "Refer to last SNP run" deploy

Hi guys
I'm running the deployment over /SAPAPO/SDP94 in the planning map. Demand is there, stock is there (and production, no STOs or other orders). ATD issue/receipt is standard.
When I run the deployment with procedure "Refer to last SNP run", nothing happens - nothing is deployed.
When I run the deployment with procedure "Real-time", everything stays unchanged (because I did the SNP heuristic seperately before), but now the system is at least deploying accordant to my expectations.
Because I want to run the SNP heuristic and the deployment normally on different days, "Real-time" is no option for the productive system.
What could be a reason for that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards

Hello Samir
Thank you for the answer.
All the points are fulfilled but the Deployment "Refer to the last SNP run" is not creating any confirmed distribution demands.
I did 2 trials:
1. SNP Heuristik (Network / Multilevel) -> deployment with procedure "Refer to the last SNP run" -> no deployment (no basis for TLB)
2. Directly deployment, but with procedure "Real-time" -> confirmed distribution demands -> deployed quantity for TLB available.
Actually standard should be point one, because SNP and Deployment running on 2 different days.
I suppose because the product can be deployed to different locations (actually just one has demand), but even when I lock the transportation Lanes to the other locations, isn't the deployment proposing anything.
Thanks for your help

Regarding SNP Run

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to do SNP Run, without PPM's and PDS?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your immediate response,
In my project manufacturing has got outsourced, here my client has got implemented, DP SNP & GATP,
till now i haven't heard abt PPM's PDS in the project,
Since iam a new to SNP, I Want to know the possiblities of implementing SNP without PPM's and PDS

Procurement priorities in SNP heuristics

Hi
Here is a scenario in which i need some help. A product can be procured from two vendors A and B. So we have transportation lanes set up for those two vendors .
The requirement is to keep procuring from A until the capacity of A is met. Once A's capacity is fully used (say if A can only supply 100 EA a month we want to procure the 100 EA from him ) we want to start procuring from B . How can this be achived with SNP heuristics ? We do not want to run CTM or optimizer.
I do understand that we can set up procurement priorities in the transportation lane , but then how do we check the capacity of A and once it is fulfilled how do we divert the orders to B ?
Thanks
Saradha

Hi Aparna,
Since the planning is happening in APO, this can be acheived by maintaining quota in R3 and as well as using C5 user exit of publication type (APO outbound).
What you need to do is maintain quota in R3 with quantity limitation in R3 for first vendor and then for second vendor with infinity. You need to have both transportation lanes in APO with equal priority.
Once you have Heuristic run and then C5, now here you should write th logic to look at the quota in R3 and then add the source to the PRs until it reaches the max quantity and then assign the second vendor to the rest of the PRs within the month.
This works, we have similar scenario, but ther is no second vendor, so the next PRs will be without source.
OR
You can have inound quota maintained in APO with an average percentage of supply from the first endor and then remaining from the second vendor within the month. This percentages can be vary month to month. This is simpler, but you need to have rough cut supply extimation of the first vendor.
Hope this works
Thanks

Procurement cycle in SNP

Hi,
Could someone please suggest me on below scenario mapping
DETAIL: Currently to meet our business requirement (Load building for vendors), we have mapped vendor as location (with products extended to vendor location) and running SNP planning cycle, i.e., generating TLB orders, between Vendor & DC, considering truck min/max capacity.
Vendor ships product on different days of week to different DCs. For some DCs it could be say Monday of the week for others it could be Thursday, i.e., procurement cycle for the vendor varies from DC to DC. Hence we cannot control ship to date by Vendor location calendar, as it is specific to Vendor-DC lane.
Our requirement is to generate POs for vendor from DC on a specific days of the week. Day of the week could vary from DC to DC.
Regards
Seshu

Hi Sheshu and Julien,
I am interested to know as how to you built this scenario.
It would be appreciated if you could reply to me and we can discuss this.
I am interested exactly in same thing: Using SNP TLB for Vedor to TLB scenario and generating POs.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Thanks and Best Regards, Manoj

Shift scheduling in SNP Run

We are trying to use APO for Shop Floor Planning.
I want to know, can SAP - APO (Optimizer Run) give shiftwise planning instead of day bucket ? i.e. instead of daily requirement, 3 shifts requirement saperately ?
Thanks in advance.
Rajan

Hi Rajan,
SNP is bucketed planning and the most granular bucket is a DAY.
So in SNP you cannot do shiftwise planning. You need to use PPDS for shiftwise planning.
Thanks,

Procurement qty restriction while running MRP

Dear Expert,
In our plant there is a GCPB consent issue,in GPCB consent issue we can dispatch only limited quantity of product as per the approved quantity per month, in other words we can't dispatch the material above GPCB approved quantity.
For example :
We have a product Sodium chloride which GPCB approved quantity is of 25 kg per month, that means we can't procure more then 25kg for this product. So please guide me how can i control the procurement of this product during MRP Run so that system will not generate the PR if the quantity including the stock is more than the GPCB approved quantity.
Regards,
Phalgun Patel

Mario asked you planning method which means MRP type , not planning strategy.
From your reply I assume that you're using PD. Change it to VB and enter the manual re-order point values.
For example: enter your re-order point as 5, lot size as HB and maximum stock level as 25, in this case as soon as stock goes below 5 (let assume it goes to 4) it's gonna create a procurement proposal for a quantity of 21.
or
enter your re-order point as 5, lot size as MB (monthly lot size) and rounding value as 25, so whenever stock goes below 5 it will create a procurement proposal for 25.

How to configure to run SNP that creates only PReq and Stock Transfer only?

Hi all,
I am very new to SCM.
Please help me on the scenario like this:
-There are 3 Distribution Centers (DC): 2400, 2500, 3800 and a Vendor: 1003.
-Each DC can take products from otherDC. But only DC 2400 can directly send purchase requisition to Vendor 1003 when no stock at all DCs.
-There is a Forecast released from Demand Planning to SNP, that is 1000 products at Distribution Center 2400.
-I will run SNP Heuristic (or Capabable to Match or Optimization) to cover this demand.
-Usually, SNP can create: Purchase Requisition, Stock transfer Requistion, and Planned Order.
                     But I only want the SNP to create Purchase Requisition and Stock Stransfer only.
The question are:
1.In which situations (tock situation,u2026) the system can create Requisition and Stock Stransfer only ?
2.I need create a new Supply Chain Model (Model) and a new Planning Version from scratch. How can I configure the system (Transportation lanes, Product Master Data, Procurement type in product masteru2026) and make it run to satisfy this scenario?
3.Do I need setting differently for each SNP method ( Heuristic, Capable to Match, Optimization)?
Thanks very much for your support.
XuanDuyen

Dear Mr. Aparna,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Now I haved created a model like the scenario with product T-F204 and can run. ( I do not use vendor 1003. I created the Plant 1000 instead). But as you said, when I run with SNP Heuristic method (Network level), the system alert:
u201C Error exist in Locationsu2019 processing sequence for product T-F204u201D
However, I search internet and found a book about CTM. It also discuss about this and the solution as below:
u201CRecursive Replenishment
When using complex supply chains, with many locations and various directional
supply routes, it can be easy to confuse a level-by-level planning tool. In certain
situations, recursive planning can occur. Recursiveness, is when the planning
algorithm is thrown into a loop (circular replenishment). Location 1000 can ship
to location 2400, and location 2400 can ship to location 1000. Situations such as
this can cause the CTM engine to terminate since it cannot find a starting point.
 The solution: Reduce to number of muximum consecutive transport order chains.
Within the CTMProfile, Settingsu2192Master Data Settings tab, planners can control
the sources of supply for External Procurement. With the parameter Maximum
Number of Consecutive Stock Transfers, you determine how many consecutive
stock transfers CTM planning can create. This value does not restrict the total
number of stock transfers for a demand. If you enter a value here, you can prevent
the system from transporting the receipts for a demand over several locations due
to the procurement priority. Also, you must have modeled the master data in such
a way that a direct stock transfer is possible if the system ignores the procurement
priority. If a direct stock transfer is not possible, CTM cannot fulfill the demand.u201D
Currently, our system runs only with Heuristic. It could not run CTM and Optimization so I could not check.
My questions are:
1.     Is the solution of the book can apply for my bi-direction transportation lanes requirement?
2.     If it is true, with my scenario, what is the best u201CMaximum Number of Consecutive Stock Transfersu201D I can set?
3.     How can I model u201Cthe master data in such a way that a direct stock transfer is possible if the system ignores the procurement priorityu201D?
Please follow the link to download the book (and view page 107 of book (page 117 of Acrobat Reader) as bellow if you want:

RTSJ thread priorities, Lower priority thread running

Hi,
I'm experimenting with a thread pool that I've written containing javax.realtime.RealtimeThreads. I'm trying to use this to replace a java.util.concurrent.Exectutor type thread pool in an existing application. My design involves a Queue where the RealtimeThreads wait on until a Task is submitted for execution. All the threads in the pool start at the lowest priority and upon the submission of a task, I have written some logic to increase the priorities of the threads that I want run.
At a given time, there could be many threads with tasks assigned to them and some without tasks. My algorithm to decide which thread is to be given the CPU, runs every time a task is submitted to the system as well as at the end of the current thread execution. I assumed that If I set a thread's priority higher than the others it would automatically be given the CPU and all I have to do is to set the Priority using rtThreadObject.setPriority() method. I obtain the highest priority in the system through PriorityScheduler.instance().getMaxPriority() method and do similarity to obtain the Normal and Lowest priorities in the system.
Recently I added some code to change the priority of a thread from another, and noticed that the target thread's priority is higher than the one that is currently running. I'm not sure how a lower priority thread can run, when a higher priority thread is already in the system. I'm wondering whether it's to do with the current thread of execution getting woken up by a task submission (I do a QueueObject.notify() ) and continue to run at the lower priority, I have my doubts on it. Can anyone give some ideas as to how such an instance could exist?
I'm developing on a Linux-RT kernel with RTSJ 2.1
Thanks,
Vidura

Sorry for the delayed response.
Thanks a lot for the answer. This certainly might be the case in my scenario as well. However, is there a way that I could query the active priority from a Thread and confirm? I also have a few questions just to confirm my thoughts on such a scenario.There is no way to query the active priority of a thread.
1) Can Priority inheritance take place if a high priority thread is blocked on some IO operation say even a simple System.out.println ?Priority inheritance occurs when a thread holding a monitor causes a higher-priority thread to block trying to acquire that monitor. At that point the thread holding the monitor is given the priority of the thread it is blocking. So this can happen anytime a lock is held, regardless of what the thread is doing at the time.
2) In the simple scenario of a couple of threads with different being active at the same time with Java or RTSJ in particular, as long as the threads are not blocked or competing for a shared resource, is it possible to assume that the highest priority thread will get the CPU 100% of the time?The simple answer is "yes" but reality is more complex. Shared resources occur at the application, VM/runtime-library, and OS levels. You would have to avoid them at all levels to ensure the highest base priority thread is also the highest active priority.
3) If we as programmers takes great care in preventing IO operations (or controlling any IO operations, i.e. where to place them in the code) even simple as a System.out, priority inversions or inheritance would not take place?Priority inheritance is not directly related to I/O operations - the issue is whether methods are synchronized or not.
4) In such a scenario highlighted in 3, what practices could be used to debug the code if needed?On Solaris we use DTrace and the Thread Scheduling Visualizer for debugging timing/scheduling relationships. I'm afraid we don't have anything equivalent on Linux at this this time.
As for exactly what I'm trying to do, it's a bit convoluted as I'm trying to achieve predictability in an existing product using RTSJ, that wouldn't be used in the trivial real-time sense, like an embedded environment, rather as a normal application. I will follow up with more details of it if needed.Don't worry, we have numerous users applying real-time Java to "normal" applications. :)

Changing sessions start/load/run priority

1) I have fresh installed arch
2) installed compiz, ran fusion-icon and compiz worked smoothly
3) tried to introduce compiz as my default window manager, followed wiki
in gconf editor : changed the /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager to compiz
and followed the rest of instructions but did not help. Finally changed the parameter to fusion-icon which caused gnome
to startup with compiz as it default WM (and compiz icon on notification area).
4) Installed the gnome-do, activated autostart (which means an item in 'Sessions'), chose the 'Glass Interface'
From now on every time gnome starts 'gnome-do' falls back to its default interface and that's because it starts before compiz.
when I restart the 'gnome-do' (after compiz starts), the 'Glass Interface' appears again to prove this theory.
This same exact scenario also happens for 'Yakuake' and its transparent bash window.
Now I think I need to manually define the priority of starting/running programs in 'Sessions' and Ido not know how!!!
Truely appreciate your reply

I had the same problem, dont know if you found a fix or not, what i did was made a super simple bash script to delay gnome-do from starting.
#!/bin/bash
sleep 15s;
gnome-do;
then change the sessions to start this insted, works fine for me.
just make sure to make it executable
as a side note i had similar problems with tomboy starting and i did the same thing for it, and its fixed it.

Tables:
Tables where SALES ORDER Data is stored in APO
In addition to the requirements in SAP liveCache, the SD order tables are also included in the comparison with SAP R/3. Data is stored in these tables that is required for SAP APO functions from the area of Global ATP, such as the check against product allocations and backorder processing.
Both the existence and the consistency of the stored data is checked, based on the most important fields, as well as on the connection between main item(s) and subitem(s) in the following tables:
·     /sapapo/posmapn (mapping the item)
·     /sapapo/ordadm_h (order header)
·     /sapapo/ordadm_i (order item)
·     /sapapo/schedlin (order schedule line)
·     /sapapo/obref (object reference)
·     /sapapo/sdfield (SD order/delivery: Item additional data, also called 'field catalog')
·     /sapapo/ciflooku (CIF lookup table)
The following inconsistencies can arise:
·     r3obj : R/3 object of item in table /sapapo/posmapn
·     atpcat: ATP category of item in table /sapapo/ordadm_i
·     chmod: Check mode of item in table /sapapo/ordadm_i

·     wmeng: Requested quantity in table /sapapo/schedlin
·     edatu: Requested delivery date in table /sapapo/schedlin
·     obref: Object reference between order and delivery item in table /sapapo/obref

SNP PPM Selection Criteria

Hi Experts,
I would be really glad if you could help me regarding this issue.
I have 2 Materials with 2 SNP PPMS. The SNP PPMS were generated by converting PPDS PPMS which was cifed from R/3. The production versions in R/3 has the same validity date.
Lets say for Material A:
- It has 2 production versions and 2 SNP PPMs
- PRD1 and PRD2
- when I had run the SNP location heuristic it had selected PRD1.
Material B
- It has 2 production versions and 2 SNP PPMS
- PRD1 and PRD2
- when I had run the SNP location heuristic it had selected PRD2.
May I kindly ask therefore how PPMs are selected by the APO system in the case of SNP PPMs running SNP location Heuristic? Unless I understand the process, I cannot still create alternative PPMs. I cannot always assign manually the Procurement Priority of all the PPMs generated.
I am really hoping you'd help me regarding this issue.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely Yours,
Ria
Edited by: Ria Montealto on Jul 31, 2008 10:16 AM

Hello ,
As you must be aware the basis for selection of ppm are 'quota arrangment' ,'procurement priority' ,'costs(multilevel cost)' ,'procurement type' .
Kindly refer to following link for more detailed information and how this ranking list can be changed. "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/1c/4d7a375f0dbc7fe10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm ".
Also if all the parameters are same , it will refer to nomenclature of the ppm as the ppm name contains the version number ciffed from r/3.
For example, if there are versions "0001 " and "0002 " in r/3 and these versions are ciffed to APO to create ppm .
The snp hueristics will select the ppm of prod. version 0001 .
Thanks & Regards

Setting up SNP with ECC at a macro level

Hello experts
What are the different scenarios that can be set up with SNP - ECC - SNP with respect to Distribution planning ?
Meaning stock transfers , assuming PPDS will be active and will only be used for creating PPDS planned orders.
We have 10 plants and 34 DC's and regional DC's.
Thank you.
Regards
KK

HI KK
This is more an architecture question that has to be addressed at macro level.
Assuming your demand is coming from DP or somewhere outside, a SNP run either SNP Heuristics or CTM or optimizer could be setup to move that demand from DCs to Plants. Then you run the planing runs at each plant in PPDS producing planned orders in short term and SNP run for medium to long term. If you have external procurement, the system creates purchase reqs.
If your plants are sourcing your DCs and then to regional DCs, you may want to run this in 3 stages, first SNP from regional DC to DC, then DC to plant and finally at Plant.
At one of our projects, we separated the SNP runs into Heuristic( where these is no capacity issue) and some into CTM ( where there are more constraints).
Based on the scenario, you may choose to integrate these planed orders, purchase reqs. from SNP/PPDS to ECC and execute there.
You may also run a deployment run from the plants to DCs and not integrate these deployment reqs. with ECC ( as you would not execute them yet), then finally convert these deployment reqs. into STOs/POs and then push these to ECC for execution.
There are infact so many possibilities based your business need. You may take above as a frame work. Hope this helps.
