Product proposal based on spare parts

We have a requirement in service InHouse repair order where the item where is the product to be repaired is selected and there have to be an action button to add a spare part. After adding the new item, the system have to show the product proposals not from the item to be repaired, but from the last spare part linked to it. Is there an standard action profile that do this? If not, can you suggest development options to do that?
Thanks

Hi Pablo
Product proposal for adding accessories in Service order  would be challenging.
Please check:
IMG > CRM > Marketing > Product Proposals > Create Method Schema
There is a method schema for Accessories (000004)
IMG > CRM > Marketing > Product Proposals > IC Settings > Assign Product Proposal
Assign Method schema here to your Sales org
IMG > CRM > Business Roles > Define Business Role
Assign the Product Proposal profile to the IC Agent Role under assign function profiles dialog structure.
Also have a look at Badi CRM_PRODUCT_PROPOSAL_BADI
hope this helps

  • Online and background product proposal

    Hi All,
                     Can you please explain the difference between online and backgroung product proposal, I tried searching on forum but could not find an explanatory answer. Please suggest?

    Hi,
    Dynamic product proposal can also be proposed based on the
    Order history-it means that the materials which are most frequently ordered by the customer are considered as order history. So based on this the system will propose the product proposal,if we specify this order history in the access sequence of the product proposal procedure as a source.
    Even system can propose product proposal based on listing&exclusion,item proposal,user specific source etc.but it is based on the source field in the access sequence.
    In access sequence we have a function module SD_DPP_HISTORY.this fuction module helps the sysytem to search the database for the product proposal based on the source field.
    You can access the data sources either online, in background processing, or using a combination of both. It is also possible to have a combination of both access techniques. If you want to access various different data sources, SAP recommend that you use background processing, in order to keep the system load as low as possible while working online.

  • How to manage spare parts and production parts seperately

    Hello,
    I want to keep some spare parts for services only ,though some of them also used in production .
    then how can I implement this in SAP system,how the stock of spare parts not influence the forecast of the production( means these parts only can be used in services)
    how to separate these parts in Warehouse in system and physically.
    Thanks,
    Helai

    Helai,
    If it were MY company, I would
    1.  Put the spares into a diff storage locn
    2.  Enter Safety stock for the quantity I want kept in 'spares' inventory
    3.  Use an availability check in which Safety stock is not relevant for ATP for these parts.
    However, this does not meet all of YOUR stated business requirements.  For this, you have to use MRP areas, and have the 'spares' storage location assigned to a different MRP area.  You can then plan them completely separately from your production parts.

  • Mapping Spare part kit planning in SAP

    Hi,
    We have below requirement in Spare part Kitting process
    1)
    Client  makes compressors, which obviously have a lot of components, where one of the prime part is valve.
    2)
    Valve Kit is a finished product having components which are used in regular unit production also, where MRP Type can be VV or PD.
    3)
    This valve kit sold as a spare part.Customers buy these kits and typical assembly time is 1 day.
    4)
    This kit is not kept in stock and is assembled after receiving an order.
    5)
    To be ready for customer orders, client forecasts these kits (about 10000) and drives the demand for lower level components.
    6)
    When customer places an order, legacy system promises the dates based on availability of components. Date is promised to the customer based on the availability of the components. Also the requirement is passed on to the floor to assemble and shipped the same day.
    7)
    To meet above requirement, we proposed to use Forecast based planning, where system will create planned order for Kit assembly & component can be planned.Knowing there is a back drop i.e. planned order created thru forecast can be converted into production order.
    8)
    Then demonstrated “ATO – Assemble to Order” functionality in SAP. This uses strategy group 81 for the kit material XX-XXXX-XX. When a sales order is created for a material with strategy group 81, system immediately creates a planned order and as per component availability, proposes the next available date of the assembly.
    9)
    Since ATO is an MTO process, Planned order is tied to Sales Order and when production order goods receipt is done, stock is received into Sales Order stock. Hence Sales Orders do not consume the forecast.
    10)
    Question here is how to consume the forecast? When sales order is shipped system is not updating consumption data? This is important as today they use the consumption values to execute the forecast.
    If any one has come across similar requirement, please give other options keeping below points in view
    1. We should be able to plan valve kits may be thru forecasting or PIR's. This to start procuring components.
    2. When sales order is created, system should do availability check at component level.
    3. Consumption data should be updated if we use forecasting to plan kit or if we use PIR's, sales order should consume the demand. Consumption of forecasting requirement is also required.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hari

    Hi ,
    Looks like problem is due to
    - Need to do ATP at componnent level  which is only possible with Planning  strategy 81,82. You cannot use planning strategy 40( 40 considers forecast , sales order & consumption)
    - 81 ,82 planning strategy doesn't consume forecast for End item(Sales order entry material)
    You could use Sales order BOM function. It is provided for selling Kits. BOM is exploded in sales order & kit items are put as seperate sales order items ( 20... 30... 40 ) Here are steps.
    -  Create BOM with usage 5- Sales order relevancy of bom components is Ticked
    - Create Sales order with item which is BOM header. System will explode BOM & all items will be part of sales order as item.
    - You can configure Sale Price at End FG level, Inventory management( DO issue) at item /components level .
    - Forecast will be consumed at end item level.Need configuration
    - ATP check can be performed at componenet level
    Only thing is you will not have Plan order for doing assembly & there is no cost captured for assembly . Kitting donot involve much labor time.
    Hope it helps

  • Unable to view Spare Part Components in SAP CRM Service Order

    Hello All,
    We are implementing CRM 7.0 Ehp 2.0
    As per the following video it is now possible to integrate the spare part components in the CRM Service Order, using the BOM replication and Product Proposal functionality in SAP CRM
    SAP CRM 7.0 - Integration of ERP BOM Information in the CRM Product Proposal
    However in our case we are not able to achieve the desired results.
    Following configurations are done
    1) The BOM is replicated from ECC to CRM the same can be viewed in commpr01
        Material 4561 is the main product and 4562 is the component
    2) The item category for the main product is YRVS where the customization for structure scope is done
    3) For the Product Proposal customization's, I have created a new method schema
    4) The transaction type and the sales org are assigned to the method schema
    5) However now when I am creating the service order, I enter the sold to party, the product id
    6) Next  I go to the line item to click on product proposal.
    7) The system issues the below message
    Please advice if I am missing on any configurations.
    Kind Regards
    Atul

    Hi Raghavendra,
    Thanks for your reply, appreciate the same, I have now added the relationship objects as per your post above in comm_hierarchy for the particular category
    Now  in the product master , I am now able to view the tabs(screen shot attached)
    Next I create my BOM in ECC with BOM Usage 5 and save the same
    Next I run the initial download for the adaptor object  BOM in SAP CRM
    When I check in commpr01 for the material 4561 the component and the main material have not come.
    Can you please advice further.

  • In house repair - Maintaining template for Spare parts & Services

    Hi,
    After creating an item of type "Diagnostics", I want to  choose additional "Repairs+Spare Parts" .
    Where can I maintain this template so the Spare Parts get proposed.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    If you want the repairs and spare parts to be proposed by the system, then you need to maintian them in the respective relationships of the main product.
    Maintain the relevant services and spares in the relationship (Services / Spare Parts) of the main product and try to create a new order and check.

  • Forecasting the need of spare parts in Demantra

    Hello everyone,
    I would really appreciate if anyone who's had dealt with the following issue help us,
    The thing is - we want to forecast 3 different kind of items:
    1. Main items we sell - for examples - machines.
    2. Accessories for machines we sell. A certian accessory can be used with several type of machines. (Cables, Batteries etc.)
    3. Spare parts we need to keep in stock in order to provide repair services for our customers.
    Each machine we sell has a different set of spare parts used when repairing.
    The forecast for machines is a typical demantra model forecast.(sales forecast by the book).
    My question is regarding the forecast for the spare parts we need for repairs.
    We know that demand for a certain spare part is influenced by how many machines which use that part were sold to customers.
    Also - it depends how common is the use of that part when fixing those machines that need service.
    (some parts get broken more frequently etc).
    Also since we provide fixed price insurance for customers, they dont "see" spare parts price as a factor.
    (they dont naturally "buy" the parts).
    How can demantra tie the forecast for the spare part to sales history of machines? Can demantra forecast service ?(which behaves alot different than sales). It is obvious that forecasting demand for spare parts with looking only at each part's history will not provide best forecast results.
    Any insights anyone?
    I'm pretty sure most implementations faced that issue - regarding the forecast of parts for service -
    Would appreciate any reply,
    Thanks alot,
    Aaron.
    Edited by: user10894682 on 07:30 05/02/2009

    Hi Aaron,
    Per my understanding,you sell machines as well as their accessories.So forecasting for them is by the book where you would be using the demand for machine as well as for accessories..
    As far as the service parts' forecasting is concerned, Oracle has a seperate module for Service & Spare parts planning based on Demantra's forecasting engine.
    Spare Parts Planning(SPP) has the following features:
    1. Forecast accurately with built in Demantra's Forecasting engine
    2. Replenish spares based on Single plan model
    3. Distribute spares using SPP's plan
    4. One single UI to carry out all 3 above processes for improved productivity
    5. Forecasting based on Shipments, Spares Usage, and Returns
    6. Plan based on Service parts failure rates calculations
    7. Integrated with various APS modules like Demantra DM, CP, IO, and ASCP.
    From demantra's perspective you may try out the following:
    Since you provide fixed price insurance for customers,you would definitely be keeping track of the service provided like what spare was replaced and probably how many of the same spare have been replaced for a particular customer over a period of time. Also as per the insurance you must have specified that a particular spare would be replaced only x number of times within a span of say 6 months or 12 months.
    You may utilize these information to classify the spares based on the frequency of use viz. very frequent, medium frequent and less frequent and associate some factor to it.You can club this information as well as the spare parts demand coming out of the BOM (bill of material) of the machine along with each part's history and come up with a forecast that can be more relied upon.
    I hope this helps.

    Shekhar

  • Issue regarding implementing the PM Spare Parts Scanning process

    Dear friends,
    I have the following issue. It seams that the client, who want to implement the scanning procedure for the PM Spare Parts, can not do this with wireless scanners if the maintenance of the spare parts is done with Inventory Management means and has requested to implement Warehouse Management integration. The fact is that I know that IM can be use. And I know, also, that the basic needs for IM use is that the materials have activated the Batch Management and, the scanning is based on batch bar code/material bar code, together with - for GR - PO bar code and, for GI - the WO bar code. But the issue regarding the wireless baffles me. Please, can you tell me what is the way for setting the wireless connection for the scanners in IM? Thank you very much for your kindness.
    Sorin

    hi,
    It basically depends how your business process is designed for producing Spare Parts before they are reworked.
    rework order can be cerated without material with reference to original production order whcih is responsible for proeducing that SFG.
    consider below lonks:

  • Cross Selling vs Product proposal

    hello everyone,
    i am confused between the above 2 concepts, what is the difference between them ,and why would one company uses for example cross selling instead of product proposal or vice versa. hope my question is clear.
    regards
    Dilip

    Hi Dilip,
    Cross Selling is material specific. It means when you buy a pair of shoe for example the shopkeeper tries to offer you a pair of socks or shoe polish. It happens irrespective of the cusotmer who is buying it.
    whereas Product Proposal / item Proposal is based on the customers buying behaviour. A home maker regularly buys products 1/2/3 from a shop. So the shop keeper keeps that in mind and when ever she comes he will remind her these products. In SAP we store that as part of item proposal so at the time of sales order entry it not only speeds up the process of entry but also ensures that the customer is buying those things.
    A little furhter in CRM we have up selling and down selling.
    Up-selling
    You can define other products that should be proposed if you sell a specific product.
    If a business partner orders a fax machine, you u201Cup-sellu201D by proposing a more expensive, better-equipped version. 
    Down-selling
    Under certain circumstances, you may want to suggest a cheaper product or products as an alternative. 
    A telesales agent is able to view both more expensive (up-selling) and cheaper (down-selling) alternatives (depending on Customizing settings). As a rule, the agent will generally try to promote up-selling products to the customer, but to prevent a no-sale he/she may also be forced to propose down-selling alternatives instead. If you create up-selling and down-selling rules that are target group-specific, you can control for which business partners you generally want to perform up-selling, and for which down-selling.
    Hope the info helps you.

  • What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

    Hello All,
    I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
    Our current process is as follows:
    All materials are set up as HIBE's
    Each material is batch managed
    The Batch field is used for the Bin location
    We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
    Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
    We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi,
    I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
    1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
    2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
    3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
    As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.
    Regards,
    Maheswaran.

  • Bapi or FM or tabel or any standard transaction code for Production order linking to get child production orders based on parent production order

  • Where can I buy Genuine HP spare parts?

    Hi Friends,
    Due to overheating problem, I was suggested to replace my laptop's Heatsink. Since I bought my Laptop from DUBAI, I am unable to find the spare part in INDIA or NEPAL. Where can I get the spare part from?
    HP Pavilion dv4
    Serial : [Personal Information Removed]
    Product: VP179AV
    Model: dv4t-1600
    OS: Windows 7 Home Prem OA
    Thank you,

    Did you try to contact HP support and ask them? But if that is the laptop I am thinking with a AMD chipset your heatsink swap isn't the problem here. The graphics processor is going bad and if not you need to open your case and clean out the dust on the fan and vents and reapply the thermal paste to the processor and grapics processor that will do more then a heatsink replacement will do. And whom told you to replace the heatsink??

  • MRP design for Service Spare Parts

    Hello,
    I am in process of designing the MRP run for service spare parts for construction and mining equipments business. There is a central warehouse and small depots.
    Help me out to design following MRP requirements.
    1.     MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
    2.     MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
    3.     MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
    4.     MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
    5.     Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
    If SAP standard solution is there or any work around is expected.
    Regards
    Sanjeev Dhavan

    1. MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
    - MRP can be run for a whole plant or single material or MRP area(group together some storage location). I hope your warehouse is a plant so you can run the MRP at your plant(ware house) level.
    2. MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
    - You should use consumption based planning but you need to identify what type of MRP you want to use.
        - reorder point planning     - forecast based planning      - time phased planning
        - in general all the above MRP will consider the open PO / PRs
    3. MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
    -  this is possible by selecting proper MRP type, for ex. if you want to use reorder point planning, then you should use V1(Reorder point planning with external requirements) which includes sales order and manual reservation in net req calculation.
    4. MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
    - Refer point 3
    5. Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
    - do you want to use forecast based MRP? what formula you want to use?

  • Problem in service contract determination using spare part items

    Hi experts
    I created a service contract with spare parts in product list, and discont for those spare parts in price agreement. The spare parts item category group is SRVM.
    If I then create a serice order and add the spare part as the item of the transaction, depends on item category I put in for the spare part, contract determination may or may not happen. If I put SRVP ( service product) as item category then the contract determin will happen. But SRVP is not allowed for the spare part product. If  I use SRVM as item category, then the contract determination will not happen at all.
    The questions are
    Can contract determination be triggered by item category SRVM? If yes, what do I have to do to make it happen?  If no, what item category can I use for spare parts to trigger the contract determination?
    Your help is highly appreciated.
