Production in alternative plant

hi pp gurus
i have one problem in production in alternative plant.
I created one bom for A material in planning plant with special p.key 80 and stg 40 as well as routing also.AT the same time i created different bom for A materilal in production plant with out special proc key and and enter stg 40.and routing also created..And also i have done some settings in spro.plz find it below
spro_mrp_master data_define special procurement key
In that screen i have entered
plant is production plant ie B
special proc type is 40
procurement type E
in special proc tab i have entered
special procurement E
and not entered plant
and in place of issuing plant i have enterd A ie planning plant.
when i run the mrp for A in planning plant system create the planned order and converted the production order . at the same time in production plant system will not show any production orders and planned orders.
why system does't show .
plz explain how to solve this problem and any settings are required and any settings will change above mention spro path
Thanks
venka

Hi,
pls correct the settings in spro as follows and try.
Hope u should have adopted the sproc key 80 - Production in Alternative Plant in the Standard.But your settings are different from std. pls correct.
spro_mrp_master data_define special procurement key
                                                             your current settings         proposed settings

Make-to order with production in alternative plant

Hi,
We are thinking about implementing a scenario with Make-to Order production for our products, but with production in alternative plant (special procurement type 80).
For example, sales orders will be directed to plant A, but production should take place in plant B - and using a make-to order strategy (in our case planning strategy 50 - planning without final assembly).
Is there any problems with our approach, making it not feasible to implement? Is it even possible in SAP to combine MTO with special procurement key 80 (production in alternative plant)?
Is there any other issues that can be foreseen with using this type of production strategy?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hi,
The production strategy which you are going to use is very fine.
As per me there is one concern. Example you have created a sales order in Plnat A, in plant A that FG is handling through Special procurement 80, then in the MRP run system will be creating a planned order in Plant B without running MRP in plant B. In MD04 screen you can see planning plant as Plant A. In plant B, u r converting this planned order in to Production order and executing the production. While doing the GR against the production order, the goods receipt will happen directly in Plant A.
This is the one problem (Accountability) you can face.

Sales Order and Production in different plants

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario where Customer specific Sales orders (MTO) will be created in one common plant, whereas production can happen in 2 other plants.
The common plant doesn't physically exists and is created in SAP to cater common requirements (raw materials, plant equipment, shared services, common items etc).
There are 2 ways to create Sales order:
1. Create order for both production plants in individual plants. (In SO line, specify the individual plant)
2. Create order for the common plant. The requirements should be distributed to both the production plants.
If I go with the 2nd option, SD, LE and QM will not have pain areas.
But, when i run MRP, the SD requirement will show in common plant. How can I transfer that to production plant?
I do have PIRs in individual plants. The same should be reduced as well.
I can create an so specific order though CO08, which is not preferred. Is there a way to auto-convert the requirement to another plant?
Thanks
Prem

Hello Prem,
Quota arrangement with special procurement type P ('Production in alternative plant')
As suggested you can use the Quota arrangement in this case along with special procurement key production in alternative plant
Production in Alternative Plant - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
The customizing for the special procurement SPRO -> Production -> Material Requirements Planning -> Master Data -> Define Special Procurement Type for both required plants.
For quota arrangement which has a special procurement P - Prod. other plant" defined in MEQ1, you should make sure that the field "procurement plant" is correctly maintained and percentage.
Quota usage should be 4 in material master. Please test this for PIR consumption BAdi 'MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS' will be helpful
Please see note 1967124 - BAdI enhancement for flexible primary independent requirements consumption/reduction.

Production in specific plant

Experts,
In my production scenario, I work with nine plants: 1000/1100/1200/1300/1400/1500/1600/1700/1800.
All plants generate production demands (MD04), but only the 1800 plant is the Producing Plant. The demands are generated by Sales Order (MTO).
The plant "1800" was defined as the production plant by setting "Special Procurement" (80 - Production in alternative plant).
When I confirm the production order (control key PP03), the movement type 101 (goods movement) enters the plant that originated the demand and does not allow changes. In my scenario, I need always to inform the plant 1800, and then transfer the production to the origin plant (that generated the demands). But as I said the system does not allow changes in this field...
The production will always be in plant 1800, and the transfer will be manual (after order confirmation).
Does anyone know how I configure the system to have this behavior?
Thank you,
Willian.

Hello Caetano,
The conversion indicator is set... the problem is that MRP generated planned order with type NB, allowing only conversion to Purchase Requisition.
Look at the picture below (material master data, plant 1000). I set special procurement "40", as you suggested.

Production in Aternative Plant with stock transfer

Hello,
For our MTO process we have prototyped several scenarios for production of configurable materials over more plants, all based on special procurement keys.
Scenario 1: procured from other plant with stock transfer (41)
Scenario 2: production in alternative plant (80)
With respect to the configuration process and ATP, scenario 2 has our preference. There is one discrepancy, since the plants are far away from each other we need a stock transfer (and paperwork for transportation) between the 2 plants.
However a feature of production in an alternative plant is that the GR of the semi-finished good is directly in the planning plant.
Of course we can do a transfer order w/o reference for the semi-finished good from plant A to plant B but nothing is triggering this process and for us no option.
Any idea how to get such process nicely streamlined? Is there a usable workaround?
Thanks, Hans
(note: If no clues, I intend to bring it in as a request for SAP customer influence)

Thanks Vaibhav,
All required CTP settings maintained and ther is PDS in alternative production plant too. The reason being when I remove special proc key APO CTP created planned order for the deficit qty.
Did you mean to say Original plant means planning plant? but there proc type has to be E with special proc as "80" .SPRO setting is maintained.(maintained Location Determnation settings as you mentioned) I have already tried "X"
but did not work..

Production in alternate plant

Hi,
There are two plants called as Plant A - Planning plant, B - Production plant.
If I use spl.procurement key 80 in plant A material, when MRP run production process will trigger in Plant B.
While doing GR in plant B, system will update the stock qty in plant A.
Now my problem is while doing GI in plant B, system consuming the stock from plant B, but my requirement is, it has to consume stock from Plant A.
Can we do any configuration in spl.procurement key or Is there any std setting available?
Regards,
Dharma

Dharma,
Please check the configuration of Special Procurement key "80" in your system in transaction OMD9 for Plant A.
You should not have any defination as BOM Component level, I suspect you have activated withdraw from alternative plant and you have an Issuing Plant as Plant B. Or else in the BOM Item level where this material is used a component check whether there is any SPK assigned.

Prasobh

Report for planned or prodcution order for production in Alternate plants

Hai gurus,
I have two plants - X and Y
Plant x have finished goods A and B to be produced and procured from plant - Y
plant Y have finished goods C and D to be produced and procured from plant - X
The production in alternate plant concept is used in plant X for Product A and B
The production in alternate plant concept is used in Plant Y for Product C and D.
Now my requirement is how to get the report for the Purchase order raised by the
plant X for the Finished product A and B , also how to know the planned order
and production order with reference to purchase order for Finished product A and B
under plant - Y
and VIce versa for the Finished product C and B in plant X and Y
Waiting for the positive reply.
Regards,
Sekar chand

There are a few reports that you can use to display STO requisitions and orders, by supplying plant, material, or MD04 like was mentioned.
The only thing that you don't have in a report is the link to the production order. In SAP in a MTS situation there's no fixed link (pegging) between the requirement (STO) and the supply (prod Ord).
You can view the pegging dynamically, for example in MD04.

How to get open production orders by plant wise

Hi,
How to get open production orders by plant wise.
i know from tcode COOIS, is it possible to get from this. if so what are the parameters we have to give to get open production orders by plant wise.
is there any tcode or tables available , please provide details .
regards,
Hari priya

Hi,
What is your definition of Open Production Orders?
Definetly you will get the report from COOIS for Plant wise.
Whther you want to consider all the Orders having the Status REL but not DLV?
Then there is a chance of having the Orders, still with PDLV status but GR is done for the full Qty. May be you don't want to consider the TECO status, eventhough the Order is short closed??
Better to ommit the Orders with CRTD status also..
So, based on this which status to consider and which status not to consider..
You can define the "Selection profile status" in BS42.
Use this selection profile in COOIS, so that the rsults will be accurate..

Siva

Purchase and sales flow resulting from 'production in other plant'.

Dear all,
When using the procurement type 'P' (production in other plant), materials are consumed in plant A and goods receipts from production order happens in plant B.
When plants A and B belong to different company codes, SAP generates a cross-company document. Within the receiving company, the offsetting account for the stock account is the cross-company clearing account.
This posting is generally not sufficient as legal and tax requirements ask for a sales and purchasing flow between the 2 company codes. Therefore many companies need to 'develop a solution' to complete this posting 'after the facts'.
Does anybody know whether this additional posting exists under the form of an 'add-on' or additional solution to the standard made available by one or another partner of SAP ? Note that the starting point for this question is important : our company wants to use the 'production in other plant' flow because the native purchase and sales flows are too much time consuming.
Thanks for your help.
José Beghein

Hi all,
I want to be a bit more accurate here :
The produced material in plant B has a special procurement type code (MARC-SOBSL) which in its definition contains procurement type E (BESKZ) and special procurement P (ESOBS). It is special procurement P that triggers the 'production in other plant' behaviour. The production plant (WRK02) is also specified in the definition of the special procurement type code.
Kind regards.

Production in other plant for finish and semifinish

Hi Friends,
We have following scenario:
i)    Finish Product FP1 and Semifinish Product SF1 exist in both Plant X and Y.
ii)   BOM for FP1 consists of SF1.
iii) SF1 is produced in Plant X and FP1 in Plant Y.
iv) Planning plant for FP1 is X.
v)   I have tried with special procurement key 'production in other plant'.
vi) SF1 is produced in Plant X and GR done directly to plant Y for consumpton to FP1.
vii) FP1 is produced in plant Y and GR done directly to plant X.
Here instead of doing GR directlyto the consuming plant the client wants to do Stock Transport for both SF1 and FP1.Please suggest any method to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
For Halb: DepReq in receiving plant and no receipt elements in prouducing plant.
I am expecting also for Halb: Purchase Requisition in recieving plant(Y) and a planned order in producing plant(X) just like Fert.
You stated you have DepReq for SFG in PlantY (receiving plant), nut MRP did not generate prourement proposal (PurReq) for it.
In this case you should check the planning situation (e.g. whether you have sufficient stock to cover the requirement). If the procurement proposal is missing and this do not originate from the planning situation (e.g. stock level, stock like elements(STO, existing PurReq, etc.)), you should check your master data settings (e.g. MRP type) - if your master data settings are proper, MRP should generate procurement proposal (please be aware that in case of "VB" MRP type system watches the so called reorder point!).
So, second MRP run should generate the mentioned PurReq for SFG (in PlantY) and at this moment you should get requierement in PlantX (that produces SFG). Third MRP run would generate procurement proposal (PldOrd) in PlantX.
Please check master data (BOM, material master) settings of SFG.

Csaba

Production in Another plant.

Hi Gurus,
I have A as Planning Plant and plant B as manufacturing plant. I create sales order in Plant A and with reference to that sales order corresponding Plan order should be created in Plant B. Then in plant B production order will be created and all production movements will be carried out.
At the same time all requirements of Plant A such as PIR, Sales Orders etc should be taken care by above production in Plant B. I tried with scenario production in Alternate plant with Sp. Key 40 but it will not act accordingly in case of sales order.
I created Plant A as customer and Plant B as vendor. But it creates Purchase orders only for Plant A and works fine in case of Purchase order scenario. Please guide regarding MTO scenario.

Pradeep

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
But can you elaborate regarding what setting in Material Master I need to do for Plannig and Production Plant. How the actual process will flow starting from Sales Order generation till delivery? Whether this Sp. Proc. Key will take care of PIR also?

Good receipt for Production in alternate plant

Hi,
I have scenario where i have using production in alternate plant. when i do GR in production plant the stock is getting updated in planning plant.
But physical material movement from production plant to planning plant will take 2days.
Is there anyway i can do GR in production plant and then do plant to plant transfer, so that i can ensure there is no mismatch between to physical stock and system stock.
or
is there any other process to overcome this problem.
kindly give a solution..
Thanks and Regards,
Sen

Hi,
SAP Help
Stock Transfer from Plant to Plant
Within the stock transfer procedure, goods are produced and delivered within a company. The plant that is to receive the goods (receiving plant) orders the goods internally from another plant that is in a position to deliver the goods (issuing plant). The dependent requirements for the components to be transferred are determined in the receiving plant.
You use the stock transfer procedure, if two plants are located far away from each other, as the transport of materials to be transferred is taken into account in MRP with this type of procedure
So , pls try with 40 - Stock Transfer from Alt plant . Then , you can use combination of either 303 & 305 or 351 & 101 .With this procedure , there will be no mismatch bw the physical stock and system stock in the receiving plant.

Production at other plant

I have created sales order for material X. In Material BOm of X there is material y with special procurement 80 ( production from other plant ) in line item of Bom.
When I do MRP MD01 in first plant then system does not create planned order for material y in other plant.
But when i do MD50 then system creates planned order in other plant.
Also when production is completed in other plant for material Y then it does not built stock in First plant but it creates sales order stock in other plant.

Mayuresh,
Sorry for the very late reply. I do not think you need to built stock of Y in the first plant. You can just do good issue of Y (in stock in 2nd plant) to the production order of X (the first plant).
If you need to have stock of Y in first plant then you will need to manually do a plant to plant transfer posting goods movement.
Hope this helps. If you have additional questions please come back.
Thanks,
Ram

Set withdrawal from alternative plant without maintaining the issuing plant

Dear Expert,
Please help me..
When I want to maintain special procurement type 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for plant 1500, 2500 (new plant), I set the withdr. altern plant for BOM component produced in house but when I want to save , then system ask me to input the issuing plant. I know it because of dependencies. but why in the past, when I maintained special procurement type 70 for plant 1000, 2000, and 3000 I can saved it without maintaining the issuing plant?
Can you tell me which customizing/ configuration link to this dependencies (if we choose withdrawal from alternative plant we need to maintain the issuing plant too)?
Can we save the special procurement type 70 without maintaining the issuing plant like we had done before for plant 1000, 2000, and 3000?
Thanks,
P.

you cannot customize one by one, what you can do is copy plant (EC02)

Production in other plant, Sloc determination for prod. order

Experts,
we are using production in other plant. Demand in plant A, Router & BOM in plant B. Mfg. should be done in plant B. The components in plant B are Prod.stor.location 0003 (MRP 2 View).
If I create a production order the system always uses Stor.Loc 0001 in component overview and for with draw material.
My expectation was that system uses Sloc out of MM of plant B. What might be the reason for that behaviour ?
Thanks in Advance
Jörg
Even if I put Stor.loc 0003 in BOM line Item system goes with 0001 in prod.order.

JORG,
I am assuming you have raw materials in plant B. In the BOM of material in plant B, maintain storage location as 0003 for all line items and do read PP master data for the production order on current date so that correct storage location is picked up.
Also check if production versions are maintained and what is the issue storage lcoation maintained in production version?
check and revert,
Santosh Sarda
