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..

  • Rule Based GATP with Stock transfer order

    Hi Experts,
    I have activated the rule based with stock transfer GATP, but I have the following two issues
    1. when I change sales order in EEC and make  a ATP check , the system will not conisder the previous created stock transfer requisition and create a seperate stock transfer requisition, that is, if I trigger 10 times ATP check, the system will create another 10 stock transfer requisition. does anyone know how to let the system delete the previous stock transfer requisition , then create a new one, or using the existing stock transfer requisition?
    2. the generated stock transfer requisition is always firmed, it causes if the sales order is deleted, the system can not delete the requisition via heuristic. how to let the system generate unfirmed stock transfer requisition?
    thanks

    Rick,
    I have never researched this, so I don't know.
    The reason I have never looked at this is because I would never want any other process to change  supply elements generated by the GATP process.  Once these elements are disturbed, then the confirmations of the Sales orders are also open to be disturbed.  Regular runs of BackOrder Processing, which accompany most ATP solutions, can then change the sales docs with unpredictable results.  Even without BOP, the next Sales person who re-ATPs the order might be in for an unpleasant surprise.

  • Planning Strategies 10 and 40 with Stock Transfer Orders for consuming PIRs

    Hello,
    I have the following situation in a Client:
    One Production Plant (1000)
    There exist various Plants  to sell products.
    The production Plan (PIRs) I create in Plant 1000 (MD61). Monthly buckets.
    The planiing strategy I want to use is 40  or maybe 10 (both to Stock).
    Consumption of the materials in plant 1000 is via:
    1. Stock transfer orders to other plants (with Shipping funcionality)   (about 80% of the shipping form plant 1000)
    2. Sales Ordes with shipping   (10%)
    3. Transfer postings from one plant to another (303 - 305 movement type) (10%)
    How can I make sure that all these outgoing movements from plant 1000 do consume my forecast? Is this standard funcionality.
    Thanks for any reply,
    Aart

    Hello Mario,
    Thanks for your answer. I looked at the note but Im not sure it does apply in our situation.
    Let me explain our situation maybe more clearly:
    I want to create a monthly Forecast (MD61) with PIRs for Production Plant 1000. (Planining strategy 10)
    The stock created in plant 1000, on the basis of this forecast is consumed during the month by:
    1. Stock Transfer Orders (from plant 1000 to plant X) - (for 95%)
    2. Sales orders (directly) (5%)
    The STOs should not be on top of the PIR but should be part of the PIR.
    For your information, the stock which is moved from plant 1000 to plant X via STOs, is sold at plant X (not directly at plant 1000).
    this stock sold monthly at plant X however, is considered withing the forecast!
    I hope this clarifies  our situation a bit more.
    Thanks for any anwer,
    Bye

  • Consuming Forecast PIR (MD61) with Stock transfer Orders

    Hello,
    We have a Production Plant 1000 in which we load the sales forecast as PIRs (MD61) (we use strategy 10)
    We sell from Plant 1xxx.
    After production in plant 1000, we use Stock Transfer Orders to transfer the production stock to Plant 1xxx
    From plant 1xxx we ship to out customer (normal sales process with shipping).
    The problem we are facing is the following:
    The stock Transfer Orders (STO)during a month do NOT consume the forecast loaded in plant 1000! There is no asignment to PIRs!
    If I create a regular sales order in plant 1000 (which is not our normal process!), the Sales order quantity is automatically asigned to the PIRs to consume the forecast.
    The same thing we want to acomplish with STOs.
    I looked at Requirements Type  KSL with Requirements Class 030 (from the strategy 10) but I can not make out were to manipulate it so it will work in our specific situation.
    Anyone has done this before or had a similar situation? How did they solve it?
    Thanks for any help on this one.
    Aart

    Aart,
    I would assume your STO is created in plant 1XXX. So that would create a dependent requirement/reservation on plant1000.
    Since PIR is in plant 1000, it should consume your PIR by using consumption indicator 3 (Consume customer reqmts, reserv., dependent reqmts).
    You may not have to use consumption ind 4 ( using BADI). Hope this helps too.
    Else Brahmankar's solution is the last resort.
    Thanks,

  • How inbound delivery will get processed in receving plant in stock transfer

    Hi,
    We are doing a stock transport scenario with one step procedure. Can you please confirm whether following things are possible ?
    1.With one step procedure stock transfer we want good receipt to be posted in receving plant automatically after good issue from supplying plant.This is happening after you select indicator of one step.
    But will system post GR if inbound delivery is posted in receving plant when you set up one step indicator?
    2.We tried to create inbound delivery in receiving plant but we are getting error of " Vendor account number & vendor address indicator". If you go to see technical details it shows these entries are to be in VBPA table.We maintained all  entries in vendor master but still we could not create inbound delivery. We are creating inbound delivery to check whether system post GR with one step procedure.
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Prashant

    You are abosolutely right if plants are near one step procedure is used. Here the case is same.
    But client  mentioned shipping notification relation ship between two plants.Do you think is it possible?
    I am able to create inbound delivery without vendor name in field in inbound delivery. When I PGI'd  delivery it has post GR in receiving plant but inbound delivery remained open.
    Please comment.
    Thanks for reply.
    Regards,
    Prashant.

  • Check different line items supplying plant in stock transfer order

    I want to apply a check with error message if the line itmes in a stock transfer order is not belonging to same supplying plant.
    i.e. a str is created with various line items having receiving plant same but supplying plant is different. Now when i m creating a stock transfer order with reference to same stock tranfer requisition the system allows to create the stock trsfer order.
    But i want to check that only line items having same supplying plant will allow to create the stock transfer order else dipaly an error message.
    Plz suggest.

    Hi,
    this is one of the problems caused by an organisation structure that is not quite matching the "real world".
    In SAP each Plant should have a unique address and the storage locations are thought of as areas within that address.
    If you have two sites that have different addresses, they should <u>ideally</u> be separate plants. You can then use all of the available functionality within SAP that you would expect.
    If you want to set up a route that goes from one address to another than this is possible, but in your case you are actually saying that you want a route for s delivery from and too the same address, not really a real world scenario.
    So if you really want to do this then each site should be a plant. I expect that it is too late to change your design but it is important for others reading this to understand the problems that are caused when Storage locations are used instead of Plants for physically separate addresses.
    Sorry if this is not much help to you but it should help you to understand why you are having a problem.

  • How to specify the vendor for supply plant in stock transfer oder process

    Hi experts,
    In the sceniro of intercompany STO, I want to know how to set up the link between supply plant and the vendor ?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I think you are talking about Inter Company STO...if yes,
    Follow the below steps to to make STO between two plants belongs to  different company company codes.It is also called as Inter Company STO.....
    *1)Create one Customer Master in XD01 with respect to Supplying Plant Sales Area and assign this Customer no with Receiving Plant in OLME->PO-> set up STO->Define shipping data for plant and for the supplying Plant assign the above sales area.( Make sure,In Customer Master,sales Area Tab: you are maintaining shipping condition)*
    *2) For Receiving Plant Pur. Org and Co.Code Combination create Vendor master in XK01 and in this vendor master assign the Supplying plant in Pur.Org.Data screen->Extras--> Add.Pur.data
    3) OLME->PO-> Set up STO------>For your supplying plant assign document type NB, Delivery type NLCC and Checking Rule RP
    4)then For your supplying Plant and receiving Plant assign Document type NB
    5)Make sure you are maintaining Sales View for the material at supplying Plant and in Sales /Gen plant Data view maintain Availability check, Loading group and Transportation group.
    6) In SPRo-->Logistics execution> Shipping->Basic shipping functions->Shipping point Determination>assign shipping points-> For your Loading group,Shipping Condition and Supplying plant combination,Assign shipping point
    these are the configuration settings you have to do in background.
    Then Create STO from Receing Plant in ME21N with document type NB.
    Based on that STO, Create Delivery in VL10B from supplying Plant
    Do PGI in VL02N from Supplying plant
    Do GR in MIGO at Receiving Plant keeping Outbound delivery as a ref. document.
    Now your STO bet. two plants belongs to diff. Co.Codes will be completed.
    Reward if useful

  • Linkage of service order with stock transfer order

    We are creating a service order for freight rate against a vendor xxx. While creating STO we assign vendor as CR (role) forwarding agent. Can we link that pricing condition of freight should pick rate directly from the ervice

    Hi,
    In service order components tab....make the item category as N-Non-stock item...
    once u save the order ,system will generate the PR ,w.r.to that create STO.

  • Problem with Stock Transfer Order in Sales

    Dear All,
    The problem is related to STO where we have used the following configuration settings -
    PO Document Type - ZUB (from standard UB)
    Delivery Type - ZNL (from standard NL)
    In the delivery type the assigned Sales Order Type - ZDL (from standard DL)
    In delivery Item Category assignment is NLN which is a SAP standard.
    In the outbound delivery we have the procedure of automatic batch determination active as a result of which two lines are generally reflected in which there is a Batch Header line with zero quantity & there is a Batch Item line with target quantity.In case of our commercial invoice only the single line i.e. batch item line with target quantity gets reflected & upon saving accounting document gets generated.But in case of STO Proforma invoice where there is no scenario of accounting the Batch Header Line with zero quantity along with the batch line item quantity is also getting copied.
    In copying control TCode- VTFL the Settings between delivery type ZNL & STO Proforma Billing Type ZBST ( Copy of F8 standard bill type) for Item Category NLN in our system are as follows -
    Copying requirements   009  DlvRel.proforma header
    Data VBRK/VBRP          003  Single invoice
    Billing quantity                B
    Pos./neg. quantity          Blank
    Pricing type                    G
    PricingExchRate type     Blank
    Cumulate Cost -             (greyed out)
    Price Source                  Blank
    Please suggest what needs to be done so that only the single line containing the batch line item with target quantity in the STO Proforma Invoice.
    Thanks & Regards
    Priyanka Mitra

    In VTFL, for main item category (NLN), in the field billing quantity maintain value G-Cumulative batch quantity minus invoiced quantity and for the batch split item category, keep value blank. Then test by creating new documents. Also refer OSS  Note 77414 - Billing during batch split, which explains for normal item category. You can refer the settings for your scenario also.

  • MRP with stocks in other plant

    Hi,
    Scenario: 5 stocking Plants + 1 Manufacturing plant under a company code.
    For a finished product, all 6 Plants have stock.
    For MRP, the demand of the finsihed product from all 6 plants is combined and fed as PIR feeding at manufacturing plant.
    Question: How to make  SAP to consider stock of all plants and generate the planned order for the difference Qty?
    E.g. PIR at Mfg plant = 100 Nos.
           Stocks at 5 Stocking plants = 50 nos
           Stocks at 1 Mfg plant          = 10 nos
    Hence on MRP run, system to generate planned order for 100 - (50+10) = 40 Nos at mfg Plant.
    Thanks

    Hi Nitin,
    SAP's planning is based on lean-manufacturing practices - i.e. you will never have stocks in excess of requirements (plus safety stock).  So, in reality, you will not need to "adjust" your production for stocks lying at stocking plants (stocks at stocking plants would be just equal to safety stock logic defined at each plant).
    Now say some demand at any of the stocking plants got cancelled, and you end up with excess stocks at that moment.  So in next MRP-run, system will delete some future STOs.  Or, if there is nothing to delete, then MRP-list will show exception message # 25, and you can decide how to move that excess stocks.
    So, in conclusion, adjustment of production, based on stocks at all 6 plants, will NOT be needed.  Just produce as per MRP proposals, and be on the lookout for exception message # 25.  (Hope you are using special procurement key for demand transfer from stocking plant to production plant).

  • Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view

    Hi Experts
    My question is that i cann't see Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view which are available in MD04 in R/3.
    I have checked all the settings for Strategy group 50-Planning without final assembly in R/3 and Requirement type in APO. In APO I have checked requirement type and category group and I can see that in category we have defined Stock Transport Requisition, Stock Transport order,  Sales Order, TLB:VMI sales order, Replenishment delivery and VMI delivery as category.
    One more thing i am not even selecting any selection profile for Product view.
    What i need to check, Kindly suggest.

    Hi G.C
    Check whether you have maintained correct integration model. Create integration model for transactional data. Select the sales order and PO/PR option in CFM1. The reason you need to send the sales order first when you are working with stock transfer order/stock transfer scheduling agreements you first have to send the sales order and then PO/PR. Activate the integrtion model.
    First check in ECC for the Integration with Other mySAP.com Components==>Advanced Planning and Optimization==>Initial Data Transfer==>Change Transfer==>Change Transfer for Transaction Data==>Activate Online Transfer Using BTE==> here check (ND-APO, NDI options are have been checked)
    Also check for the Maintenance of distribution definiton under APO -SPRO==>Integration with SAP Components==>Basic settings for data transfer==>Publication==>Maintain distribution definiton==>Select the publication type(External procurement, Delivery,Shipment) and assign to all the plants you are working with for STO.
    Try the above steps and do let me know if it worked.

  • Stock transfer Scenario

    Dear Friends,
    I have MTO scenario as, there are two plants say A and B. "A" plant do the three processes each having separate production orders. After third process material is transferred to plant "B" for final processing. after processing, that material is dispatched from there only.
    But sales order is created in Plant "A" for the material having shipping data of plant B. So, I extended the material codes of third and fourth process in each plant.
    I want to do MRP run and system should generate proper proposals. i.e.planned Order for first, second and third process in plant A, stock transfer PO in plant B as well as Planned Order in plant B for fourth process.
    Will you suggest me how to handle this scenario?
    Thanks!

    Kiran,
    You have two plants say A and B, first 3 process haapens at plant A and last at plant B, every process has separate production oreder, means you have material codes for plant A is say A1,A2 & A3. Then A3  transfer to plant B and produce 4th process say B1.
    B1 is your finish product which is going to delever. My question is why are raising sales order for finish material B1 in plant A?
    You can handle this situation for finish material B1 raise sales order at plant B. for that you need A3 sfg form plant A. So extend material A3 in plant A as well as B. In plant B use special procurement key 40 for material A3.
    Prepare BOM properly and run MRP at Sales order level by MD50. system will generate plan order for B1 at plant B and generates the dependent requirement for A3 at plant A, and simulteniously explode the BOM at plant A for A3,A2 and A1 with procurement proposales as plan orders for all.
