Production Order - Variant Configuration of Components

Hi experts,
I want to book a part (which is on stock with serial number and variant configuration) into a production order with movement type 261-E.
However, there I get the error message that the configuration does not match.
If I compare the configurations, one is empty - I guess the one from CO02.
How can I add the configuration to CO02-components?
Kind regards

btw, it is a production order without a material number itself (a kind of repair order, on which we book the parts of repair).
And one of that part is a component which is serialized and having a variant configuration.
And I have to add the info, that I don't have the part in the BOM/routings. I have to add different components per production order.
Kind regards

Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly

We are trying to create a Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly Processing.
I have set up the required master data for variant configuration which is working fine in a sales order. I have used startegy group 82 in the MRP view of the material master for Finished goods/header material. A production order with BOM explosion is getting generated automatically during the creation of the sales order.I have stock of components available. Uploaded using 561 movement type (unrestricted stock).The requirement class that is being determined is 201.
ISSUE:
Availability check of the components in the production order that is getting automatically generated during sales order creation is failing. The components are not getting confirmed inspite of initialising the stock of the components in the plant we are using.
I am looking for pointers on the important settings related to the availability check in Configure to Order scenario that have to checked to resolve this issue.
TIA

Hi,
Availability check controls for Production order will be done in OPJK for plant , order type combination. Based on the settings either for creation or release system will carry Availability check of components. you can set the controls such that release can be possible even if parts are missing.
If you have settings to restrict the release if components are missing and there is stock in unrestricted, then you need to transfer the stock to the sales order using MB1B and 413 movement type so that system can recognize the availability and allow the release of order.
Based on your requiremnts you can map the settings in OPJK
Hope this will help

Details about Master production Scheduling & Variant configuration

1) What are the steps for Master Production Scheduling (MPS)?
2) What are the steps for Variant Configuration?

Hi,
MPS:
With in your planning time fence (maintained in mat master ) , you will get firmed planned orders because your MRP Type P1 - P4 has firming type.
And the firmed planned orders will not change after next MRP run.
You have to set MRP Type p1 - p4. acc to firming type. in ur mat master.
Then run MPS .It is generally for important products and it is run single level.Because it will not change your procurement proposals as it has firming type.So you get effective planning for your imp products.
Variant configuration:
Go to mm01 create a material and in bd2 view mark the check box material is configurable and then save the material and go to ct04 create chara.
Go to cl01 and create class with class type 300 and assign the charac. to it
Go to tcode cu41 create the profile using material code and assign the class to it
then got tcode mm02 and assign the profile there
Variant configuration material type is KMAT (SAP std), u can use this material type alternately u can mark the indicator in basic data 2 view ->client specific configuration->Material is configurable tick.

Batch management in production order for WM managed components

Hi Experts,
Iam having WM managed components in my production order which are batch managed as well. I have to do batch determination for these WM managed components.
I would like to know the steps involved in it and the required configuration.
Can anybody throw some light on this please
Thanks & Regards
Enrico

Enrico,
For setting up Batch determination in production order please follow
[Batch determination in production order|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/25/283c3f4f7811d18a150000e816ae6e/frameset.htm]
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/25/283c3f4f7811d18a150000e816ae6e/frameset.htm
As far as WM managed components it will still be the same as WM transfer order is created only after goods movement document is posted.
Hope this helps. Else please come back.

Production order for configurable subassemblies

Dear experts,
we have a situation with configurable end products with very complex multilevel BOM, were some of the assemblies and subassemblies on the lower levels (1, 2, 3 etc.) are configurable materials too.
The SOP planning strategy is 56 (or 89). The MRP planning run results in planned orders for the MTS details and PIR's for the configurable materials.
The question is: is it possible to manualy create planned (production) orders for the configurable subassemblies before the sales order? How can we manualy valuate the characteristics of the subassemblies?
Thank you in advance,
Peter

Hi,
Characteristics Based Planning will let you create demand for lower level assemblies to drive in inventory for commonly used components or raw materials prior to receiving a firm customer order for a finished assembly.
Please refer the following SAP link to know more about Characteristics Based Planning

IDOC for Creation of Production order and also adding components

Hi ,
I have a requirement like I get the data from a 3rd party system and using that i have to create production orders and also should be able to add more materials in COMPONENTS part of that Production order. I was looking for a BAPI which can handle this process.
And also can any one help me by letting me know is there any Message type available for handling this process of Production order creation and Adding extyra components to it.
I have a message type LOIPRO (for Production Order) and associated function modle CLOI_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_LOIPRO for creation of master IDoc, but not sure can i handle the Components part in this.
Please do send replies ASAP, its very urgent.
Or else atleast suggest me the other ways of doing this .
Also send me any BDC program if anyone has already developed for this.

I have to create the Production Orders in mass with Operation & Component alloacation & i want to use the BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE, whether i can create the Opeartions & components of Production Orders at the same time using this BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE or anything else i have to use ?
what should be the solution for this kind of situation ?
i am going to get the flat file that have each & every single detail about Production Orders, its operations & Components & i have to create the Production orders in a big mass approiximately 2 million Production orders with Operations & componets.
Please suggest how to deal with this ?

Production Order Component configuration

Greetings Experts,
On the Production Orders created, we want to be able to change the component (delete existing & add a new one) to a configurable one. Hence the need to be able to configure/edit char values for the newly added component.
I know standard SAP does not allow this, anyone in their experience knows if this is possible in DIMP/IS Mill function?? We are using the IS-Mill function. Even if not possible with standard, is there a way to open up the configuration via an enhancement?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks, but the problem is not with the Planning run.
Display of dependent requirements in MD04 is the Problem..
For eg.,
A is the header material and B is the component.
For the Production Order of A, the component quantity of B is 800mm.
in MD04 of B, the OrdRes is not shown as 800mm.
(some back ground: System is suggesting the quantity 800mm based on Object dependencies).
But in BOM of A, we have defined the quantity B as 50,000mm.
So, in MD04 of B, it is showing as 50,000mm instead of 800mm.
Thanks for your interest..
Best Regards,
Siva

Production Order Variance Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Would you please help me with configuring the Production order variances in product costing. I would really aapreciate if you can send me some documentation. My scenario is to configure the automatic calculation of production order variance and its settlement to Copa. I would really appreciate an early response. If you have any documentations please send it to kamkhan.sap at gmail.
Thanks

Hi MKR,
You can calculate the following variances in the R/3 system:
Planning variances
Production variances
Production variance of the period
Total variance
You control the variance calculation process by specifying a particular target cost version.
In make-to-stock production, standard cost is calculated in the standard cost estimate for the material. In sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock, standard cost is determined using a predefined valuation strategy.
During production, actual costs are collected on the order (product cost collector or manufacturing order). The actual costs that are compared with the target costs are reduced by the work in process and scrap variances (the result is called the net actual cost).
You can determine the production variances of the period by comparing an alternative material cost estimate with the (net) actual costs. This alternative material cost estimate can be the modified standard cost estimate or the current cost estimate, for example.
Total Variance
The total variance is the only variance that is relevant to settlement. This means that only the variance categories of target cost version 0 can be transferred to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
The total variance is the difference between the actual costs debited to the order and the costs credited to the order due to deliveries to stock. The difference between the debit and credit of the order is passed to Financial Accounting (FI) and Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) when the order is settled.
The target costs for the total variance are calculated as follows:
In make-to-stock production, the target costs are calculated using the standard cost estimate for the material and the quantity delivered to stock.
In sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock, the target costs are calculated using the cost estimate relevant to the valuation of the sales order stock (such as a sales order cost estimate or a standard cost estimate for the manufacturing order) and the quantity delivered to stock.
For the total variance, the control costs are equivalent to the following:
In Product Cost by Order, the control costs are the actual costs less the scrap variances.
In Product Cost by Period, the control costs are the actual costs less the work in process and scrap variances.
The variance calculation process compares the itemization of the cost estimate on which the calculation of target costs is based with the line items in your actuals.
The itemization contains detailed information based on the costing lot size, such as the materials to be used and the activities to be performed.
When you release a standard cost estimate for a material, the price calculated therein becomes the standard price in the material master record of the material being manufactured. In the standard system, an itemization is always created for standard cost estimates for materials.
The following variance categories can be reported for the total variance:
Input price variance
Resource-usage variance
Input quantity variance
Remaining input variance
Scrap variance
Mixed-price variance
Output price variance
Lot size variance
Remaining variance
When you settle, you can transfer the total variance to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) broken down into variance categories.
In CO-PA, the standard cost of goods manufactured for the product is compared with the revenues to calculate an initial contribution margin for the period. The variances between actual cost and standard cost of goods manufactured can be used to calculate a second contribution margin for the period.
When you calculate the variances, you can transfer the difference between the debit and credit to CO-PA only as a total.
You calculate the total variance with target cost version 0.
Hope this helps. Please assign points and let me know if you need more information.

Multiple batches for a production order and mapping with components

Hello Gurus,
Our business requires to create multiple batches for one production order + they want to trace which component in the production order has been issued to the main equipment.
For example, I am creating production order for 'A' equipment for 4 qty. Business wants to create 4 different batches for these equipment
Lets say now 4 batches are created A001, A002, A003 and A004.
Now lets assume 2 nos of 'B' component are required for 1no of 'A' component. So the requirement of B component is 8.
Lets say 8 batches are generated B001, B002 ......B008
Now lets say batch B001 and B002 are issued for A001 and packed together. How do we map this?
I understand we can do some enhancement for creating the multiple batches but I still dont know how to map them with each other.
Please help

Hi Ethan
There is a functionality called WIP batches, that allows you keep the batch traceability within an order.
With WIO batches you can track which batch of component was used to produce each batch of finished product.

Production Order Type Configuration

Hello All
While doing customizing for production order types i.e. OPL5 transaction we have come across "Release Versions". Can you let me know the relevance of the same?
Regards
Hary

Hi Hary,
A production order passes through different events, most common of them are
Production order (Create, Change, Release),
Confirm operation(- Partial confirmation, - Final confirmation)
Confirm production order:(- Partial confirmation (for first confirmed operation),- Final confirmation (for last operation final confirmation))
Goods receipt posting for order:(- Partial delivery, - Final delivery)
Goods issue
etc,.
The release version is the version at the time of the release of events.
If production orders are changed quite often during your work, the target and actual values will align more and more so that the target/ actual deviation will no longer be correctly calculated. By using the release versions, you can counteract this problem.
The level of details are defined by header, item & operation.
Hope it helps

"Make-to-Order Production with Variant Configuration (147)" doesn't work ..

Hi, I'm trying to run through this scenario ) on the Cloud Showroom and clearly the document I have (147_BPP_EN_UK.doc dated Oct 2008) is out of date or at least out of sync with the system as configured u2018in the cloudu2019 u2026.. the necessary roles specified in the document are not available in the cloud and some of the transactions are not there, e.g. VL10I.
But more infuriating is that the process just does seem to work, for instance from page 13 u2026.
Item 7 ...
"If a material variant can be determined on the Display Material Variant screen, select the configurable line item and choose Enter. In this case the previous configurable material number will be replaced by the new configurable variant that was created. For example, F1000-M1 will replace F1000 if Type of Material Material Metal and Type of Packaging Normal is selected."
In my case Iu2019m not clear what the u201CDisplay Material Variant screenu201D is u2013 the previous instruction (Item 6) from the document says u201CWhen all of the configurable choices have been selected, choose Back.u201C which takes you back to the document overview. Highlighting the line and pressing enter doesnu2019t do anything and there is no option to select the configurable line item that I can find so the expected material substitution doesnu2019t happenu2026.
I've got a couple of screen scrapes that show the approriate variant material being specified and found (Characteristic Value Assignment) but there doesn't seem to be any way to attach to the forum. I have tried to double click the variant material on the Characteristic Value Assignment screen and also tried clicking clicking once and then 'entering' but neither method resulted in the necessary substitution (i.e. the overview screen still shows F1000 and not the variant material F1000-P1 that has been specified?
Also the schedule line was confirmed as deliverable u2018todayu2019 even through there is not stock u2026 all very puzzling u2013 any help much appreciated.
Regards.

I found the answer to this myself - I was looking at out of date best practice documents on our server, the latest bast practive documents are written for EHP4 and therefore should work on the 'cloud'.

Production order costing issue in MTO with variant configuration

We have an urgent issue to be resolved in production order costing in MTO scenario.
We have two level configuration with configuration passed from parent to children. The parent has many configurable materials as child(semi finished BOM items) and BOM items of these child has again different raw materials(3 level BOM with last level being all raw materials) . The production order for parent created with reference to sales order.
While costing production order of parent, total planned price is displayed as zero as we have maintained price control std price for all configurable materials(parent & child) with zero price being configurable materials.Configurations are correct in production order material and BOM components(configurable materials). BOM item selections, Item quanties are also correct.
Sales order costing is working fine and rolled-up correctly as per costing settings. We have looked at costing configuration for production order and did not find anything unusual.
Kindly suggest possible reasons for not showing costing result in production order as per configuration copied from sales order or any possible configuration or master data likely missing ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
Ganeshan Kalembeth

Dear GANESHAN KALEMB,
Kindly open production order in change mode and reschedule order, cost order, check material availability and check capacity availability.
after doing this in main menu goto > log > overview > see error list if there is any, let me know, your problem can be solved.
Thanks
