Production of semifinished materials

Dear gurus,
i had a scenario where semi finished material is combination of different batches,for production of semi finished material i had 6 operations in which up to 3rd operation i have 3 production lines in which each batch in the line is identified by different batch no and in 4th operation all batches are mixed and if new batch is coming into 4th operation the material which is already in 4th operation enters 5th&6th operation continously for semi finished material and enters remaining operations for finished material production .semifinished material is not stored in any place it is continously flow from 6th operation which is semi finished material to another operation which is used for producing finished material.
suppose for week i require 100 m3 of finished material , and for each batch i can produce 2 m3 in each production line ,i require 50 batches for week .the production is continous .
can i follow by creating 50 production orders each of different batch ,by creating semi finished material in 4th operation , can any one please suggest .
Thanks

Hello
You can explore a functionality called WIP Batches.
This functionality allows you to use different batches between an order operations.
Take a look on the following link for more details:

Statment for WIP and Semifinished materials

Hi,
I want statement for WIP and semifinished materials during specific period,
can somene help me with the Tcode?
Thanks

Hi
What do you mean by WIP?
Have you created any Storage location as WIP?
you must be issuing the material to production / production line, which storage location you are issuing? treat that as a WIP.
as long as finished product is not decleared, you can treat the stock at that particular st location as WIP.
once product is declared, you stocks are going to reduce from that particular st location.
in other wards,
from which st location, you material is getting backflushed, treat that as a WIP.
take a stock via MB5B for that particular st location
Hope this help you

Hi ,
This will be automatically taken care if you have maintained the load type as Delta download in CRMRFCPAR middleware table in R/3 or ECC system.

SMQ2, Product Categories and Materials

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5.0 in ECS and I have an issue regarding the update of Product Categories from ECC.
Actually, the initial load worked properly but the update does not work. In SRM, when I look at SMQ2 queue list, I have many entries, most of them concern Material Master replication. So my first interrogation is: I do not use Material Master in SRM, so why do I find some entries linked to Material Masters in this queue list? Is there any mean to avoid this to occur?
My second interrogation is about the processing of SMQ2 queue list: What do I have to do in order to see the different entries processed automatically (for Product Categories update)?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
There is no delta replication/update available in SRM for PORDUCT CATEGORIES but only for PRODUCTS(material).To update the Product categories or bring in new categories,you need to run the initial load again thru trasnc R3AS.

Subcontracting Semifinished Product, without providing component to Subcon.

Dear all
I have the following scenario for subcontracting, all involvoing placing Subcon PO for Semifinished Product, GI raw materials and GR Semifnished Product back for further production processing in the own factory.
Scenario:
My factory places a subcon PO for chroming a raw metal (FG = Chromed Metal). We only provide the raw metal but do not provide the Chroming paint (GI only raw metal to subcontractor), Subcontractor will use their own Chroming paint. After chroming the raw metal, we will perform a GR for Chromed Metal from the subcontractor.
My question, how do we tackle this in subcontracting? As we never provide the Chroming Paint. Does it mean I create a single item single level bom and at the time of Invoice verification, I will put in 2 lines item Subcon Service + Chroming Paint?
Please advise.

Sorry, YMREDDY, I just want to confirm.
Hi
Question: In that case, I just changed the BOM Header to put HALB (Chromed Metal) and Component as ROH?
Question: In that case, I will only GI Raw Metal (ROH Material in BOM Component) and then GR the HALB, that is it?
If you are doing as above , you can as well go ahead with subcon it self ?
And you include the cost of chrome paint in your subcontrating cost.
Pl. try.
Regards
YMREDDY
You put a question mark at "you can as well go ahead with subcon itself?". What does it mean? Is my previous 2 quesions set the correct logic?
Thanks.

Production order settlement without materials

Hi Gurus,
I have a question that I am unable to find any solution :
We create a production order without materials using CO07 and everything is ok except that the cost is now sitting in cost element. Although the settlement parameter of the order goes to cost center, finance wants it to expense off to another GL account automatically. Status of prod order is REL PRC NMAT SETC. Settlement rule is created with cost center as one of the settlement receiver.
I went to t-code OBYC and found the PRD - General Modifications PRF pointing to the GL account I wanted.
I went to t-code FS00 (edit G/L account centrally) edit cost element, default acct assignment and was tempted to update the cost center to default the GL account to the cost center but was unsure what is the impact.
Is there anything else that i am missing here ?
Any help with t-codes guidance will be greatly appreciated

In OK07 select the settlement profile, change default object type to CTR. So the settlement receiver will be cost center.
Who is the receiver you can check in production order itself.

Packing materials in Production BOM

Hi frndz,
In the production BOM, packing materials are not maintained. So if we have to maintain these packing materials, then where to maintain them?
Thanks,
Rohit.

Dear Rohit,
1) it all depends on Business Scenario , if they want to maintain in BOM , then maintain in BOM
2) if ur mainating in BOM, then reservations are created against Prd order & issue will happen
if u don't want to mainatin in BOM, then just refer this thread

Reg planning of long lead materials

Dear all,
To make a finished material there are 4 stages below which we have raw materials which are expensive and require 8-10 months lead time to procure and here planning of raw materials is done once in a quarter, how to plan for such long lead time materials ( can we use MRP planning) here we should plan only raw materials and later on all the semifinished materials once we get the customer order
please help me
Thanks in advance
venu

Venu,
Use planning strategy "50" for your finished product, and you can create PIR for the forecast for the Finished Product. Take up MRP run and after MRP run for finished product you would get Planned orders of type "VP" and you would get dependent requirement for Components which can be processed further. Planned orders VP cannot be converted to Production orders, when a sales order is created for this product this planned order quantity would be reduced and new planned equal to the quantity of sales order would be created for execution.

Change description of Product Type Dropdown in SRM 7.0

Hello,
We are upgrading to SRM 7.0 and have a requirement where we need to rename the decription of Product type (dropdown) "Materials" to "Goods" on the "Describe Requirement " screen.
We tried modifying the value table COMC_PR_TYPE_T which stores these values however the change did not reflect on the Web dynpro side. This seems to be like a buffering issue however we are not sure.
Does anybody have any idea why system is behaving this way? or is there any other way of doing it?
Thanks

HI,
Did you solve the problem? Iu2019m facing with the same issue. Iu2019ve thought also that maybe the AS or the portal buffers the dropdown values, but now Iu2019m not sure about this. Please help, if you know the answer.
Thanks,

Target cost for co-products which can be substitute

Hi,
Is there somebody who is working with co-products which can be different each time you consume raw material?
Here is the situation when we want to analyse variance Actual vs Preliminary cost.
We use Production Order with Co-Products.
When we create a Plan Order, the order costs and qty are calculated for the order header.
Actual costs and qty are charged to the order header as they are incurred.
PLAN:
Main co-product   900 PC
Co-Product A         50 PC
Co-Product B         50 PC
                           1,000 PC
Consumption:
Raw material         250 PC
ACTUAL:
Main co-product    800 PC
Co-Product A        100 PC
Co-Product B        100 PC
                           1,000 PC
Consumption:
Raw material         260 PC
An apportionment structure is used to apportion the costs and qty to the primary products and co-products.
PLAN
                                                          Raw Material
Main Co-Product   90% * 250 PC = 225   PC
Co-Product A          5% * 250 PC =   12.5 PC
Co-Product B          5% * 205 PC = 12.5 PC
                                                            250 PC
ACTUAL
                                                          Raw Material
Main Co-Product   80% * 260 PC =   208   PC
Co-Product A         10% * 260 PC =    26   PC
Co-Product B         10% * 260 PC =   26   PC
                                                            260 PC
Variance calculation and settlement are then performed at the level of the order item, not at the header level of the order.
Here is the target qty calculation made by the system.
Main Co-Product 250 PC * 800/900 * 80% = 177.78 PC
Co-Product A        250 PC * 100/ 50 * 10% =    50.00 PC
Co-Product B        250 PC * 100/ 50 * 10% =    50.00 PC
                                                                           277.78 PC of raw material
Since variance calculation is performed at the order item level, that means you can not substitute one Co-Product by another one.
In our business, we can substitute Co-Product by another one. In this example we planned to make a total of 1,000 PC finished products and we produced a total of 1,000 PC finished products. So the target quantity for the consumption of raw material should be 250 PC, not 277.78 PC as calculated by the system.
Any idea?
Regards,

Hello Ajay,
I think i am missing some thing here. For Configurable product or VC materials there is no standard cost. Costing tab 2 standard cost is zero.
When a make to order sales order is created with this VC materials, based on system settings and quantities system picks up the correct BOM and routings. Through costing funtionality with in sales order , the sales order need to be costed and marked.
This sales order cost is used for valuation of material movements including 101 from corresponding productuon order and 601 for delivery.
As far as i know for VC material target cost has nothing to do with Standard cost, because there is no standard cost at all for the material.
Please clarifty
thanks

One pr for multiple materials with line items while running mrp

Hi SAP gurus,
              I am config the system for MRP as per my client requerement.
                 We use CBP for different RAW materialsfor example they having a 10 materials for planning,were,
         MRP type is VB,
          LOT size is FX,with Different Reorder points and fix order quantity for all materials,
         My client whant run MRP for all these materials in single time that means they whant multiple item at single levels,
        i soles these requirement with the help of Product Group(sop) and its working but when we running md02 for product group all materials have planed and they give different purchase requistion numbers for all these materials but my client Wants single purchase requistion with line items for all these materials.
     Pls give me the solution for that requirement.
thanks and Regards,
abhi

this is not the way SAPs MRP run works.
Where is the benefit for this?
the requisitions are not even split into header and item table, it is just one table EBAN, and either way you would get exact the same number of records in EBAN.

Best practice - material staging for production order

Hi Experts,
could any of You pls, support me with some hints of best practice how to handle material staging WM-PP interface in a certain case?
Up till now we had a system, where production had no separate location in IM, but one location existed including raw material wh and production. In the same time in WM we had separate storage types for production and raw materials u2013 hence we did material staging transferring goods only inside one IM location between different WM storage types. The material staging should be done based on separate prd. orders.
Now this need to be changed and separate location need to be handled in IM for production u2013 which means the staging should be done between different IM locations and WM administration also need to be handled.
Up till now we used LP10 for staging, then LB13 for TO creation etc. We can keep going like that, but if do so, there is another step required in IM u2013 movement 311, where material numbers and qty need to be added manually to finish the whole procedure. I would like to avoid this u2013 which makes the administrational procedure quite long.
I have been checking the following possibilities:
1.     Set released order parts-staging at control cycle and use MF60 for staging u2013 but I can not select requirements based on pro ordders here (only able to find demand if component including into selection)
2.     Two step transfer 313/315 u2013 but this not a supported procedure u2013 313 TI /TO / 315
3.     Try to find solution how to create 311 movement based on TO or based on WM stock at certain storage type / dynamic bin.
I have failed.
So, could any of You pls, support me with some useful ideas, how to handle material staging where 311 included and definetly the last step of procedure, but administrator does not need to enter items manually one by one in MIGO.
All answers will be appreciated

Hi,
Storage location control should be able to take care of your problem.
If you want to stage the material to a different IM location then the WM location then make the following settings
If location xxxx is your WM location and location yyyy is your Production location.
You have defined Production storage type ZZZ for production storage location YYYY and have maintained the supply area for the same
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface-Control of Assignment "Plant / Stor.Loc. - Whse Number"
Assign location XXXX as the Standard Location. Maintain entry donot copy sloc in TR for location YYYY
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface- Storage Location control for WH
This entry ensures that there will be a WM tarnsfer Posting between your WM and Production storage Location automatically when you confirm your TO. You can have this done via a btach job also if you want cumulative posting. (schedule job RLLQ0100)

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..
