Production Plan Generation Issue

Hi Gurus,
Scenario: I am running SNP heuristics to generate production plan at plane level. before making the same I made GR time for that SKU_Plant combination "0" to ensure start date and end date of production plan generation should be same and also made SNP checking horizon for eg. 5 days to ensure PP should generate on 6th day.
Result: PP is generating within SNP checking horizon i.e PP is seating on 4th day which I don't want.
Please suggest what settings to be maintained for my desired result.
Thanks
Prasanta

Hi Prasanta,
normally SNP heuristic enhance the validity of the source of supplies, i.e. here PDS or PPM considering the production horizon. Could it be that you are looking the data in interactive planning in local time zone hence you see it in the production horizon? What is the time you see in the detail view in interactive planning, is it 23:59:59 or something else?
Could you please provide a screenshot of your data in planning book with the detail view opened on the order? Of course execute SNP heuristic before provide such screenshot.
Best regards,
Cyrille.

Need to Post Components in Production Order in MB1A through BAPI as Planned Good Issue

Hi ,
I have created a Program to upload data s for MB1A through BDC , it works fine, but for huge data s it takes more time. alternatively created one more Program which updates through BAPI Function Module "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE". It works fine , but one issue noted, after posting through Function Module , components are posted as Unplanned Goods Issue.   I need to post the components as " Planned Goods Issue" instead of "Unplanned Goods Issue " . This can viewed through Tcode : C003

S there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & exec

ear All,
Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & execution module and CO-PC product costing module ??
Meaning.. any Power generation/Transmission/distribution or water production/Transmission/distribution company is using SAP PP or APO for their operation business processes.
Our client is actually an integrated Utility having very much integrated product lines like Processed Sea water for cooling, Process water for Industries, Potable water & Power for the communities/ industries.
Please let me know.. as we are planning to implement the PP and CO-PC for product costig..
As I know Tata chemical, Gujarat-India is using SAP PP module for their captive Power generation.(I have worked there as SAP CO consultant). But there is no transmission and distribution as such.
But production processes are covered by PP and product costing CO-PC is also implemented and it is giving very accurate cost per unit both for plan side and actual side.
regards,
George

Hello George,
I would not be able to provide you much detail about the PP solution as I was taking care of the controlling part. The BOM of power and water were defined as you have mentioned only thing we had additionally was Gas was also mentioned in the BOM since we had 6 gas turbines. But all of them were mentioned as not relevant for costing. So there was no cost being calculated from the material side. We had formula planning template (CPT1) that used to calculate the costs under the following heads which were defined as activity types.
a) Gas
b) Employee Costs
c) Consumables / Supplies
d) Operating Expenses
e) Depreciation
These components were planned at a initial price in KP26 and the quantity for them (except Gas) was units of power generated (for cost component it was 1 MW and for actual based on the quanity in the product cost collector). Power cost estimate used to be created at the begining of each period with help of this template and per MW cost was used in valuating the power generation in each of the product cost collectors (the turbines were defined as separate work centers as well as product cost collectors).
In the actual execution the power material used to be generated in all the product cost collectors and the usage of gas was confirmed. The template used to be executed in the month end (CPTA) and the same would allocate the costs posted in the power generation cost center to the product cost collectors (the amount would be the power units generated multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for Employee Costs, depreciation etc. and for gas it would be Gas units consumed multiplied by the rate mentioned in KP26 for activity Gas). The power material generated would then be issued to the generation cost center along with the usage of gas for power as well. The next step is execution of the splitting transaction which would allocate the amount posted in the cost center to the various activities and then the actual price calculation would be carried out for the activities and the product cost collectors get revalued with the actual price. Upon settlement of the product cost collector to the generation cost center you would have the power material issue cost + settlement account. The amounts posted in these two accounts would be transferred to the water cost center using a assessment cycle with SKF that mentions the usage of water in power and another assessment cycle taking the costs in water cost center with help of SFK that quantifies usage of water in power. Now the power material cost + settlement amount - sent to water + received from water is sent to another cost center called power - distribution and from there the amounts including any distribution costs booked therein is transferred to other user cost centers using usage units defined as SKF.
What I feel later is the water activity could have been done before settlement and an activity type could have been defined for that purpose.
At the moment I can remember this much and would be happy to answer any more query which you may have. That was a good design though it had lot of scope for fine tuning.

Product Costing and Production Planning

Hi,
Is Product Costing absolutely required before implementing Production Planning, specifically PP orders? My client does not want to plan costs or need any cost estimates. They want to use a PP order to check availability for a BOM, and then issue it out to an external vendor for services. After this material is processed by the external vendor, he would ship it back and we would be doing a goods receipt at the parent level of the BOM. The whole purpose of this is to get the accurate price of the BOM parent which would include all service costs. This parent would finally be sold via the regular SD sales order process. Our Logisitics consultant suggested that the only way this could be accomplished is a PP order. All this looks okay, but he also mentioned that a PP order cannot work without Product Costing and the process cant be accomplished CO-PC. I am unable to grasp why SAP would force us to have costing when the client doesnt need any cost estimates, planning etc. Could any one please tell me if we need CO-PC for this scenario?

Dear SAPFicon,
Technically, to run PP without using product cost planning would cause a lot of problems during business process of production order. Because, once a production order is created then the data structured is freezed in the PO and if there is any missing data it will cause errors. Any errors in production order would stop the following transactions. We never know what would be the error level of the production order. The worst case, the production or should be cancel and start it all over again.
But by using product costing or product cost planning, this is a preliminary step to prevent and eliminate any error of the products tobe produced.
So, ideally, there is one person in charge to ensure that the products which be produced in the production orders are free of error.
So, the product costing is an integrated module that take data from variouse module such as PP, MM, CO, HR.
The product costing use the Logistic master data such as folllowing;
1. Bill of material
2. Routing
3. Work center
4. Material master
How you can say, that running PP without PC will run, while the to run the smooth production order, you need to mandatory parameter in Material Master that belong to Costing area.
Without having product costing, I can assure that your client will trap in a lot of troubles with their business process.
Please see the online documentation for product costing for a better overview or you are welcome to ask again

Find production plan daywise

Dear experts,
I would be grateful i someone has encountered and solved this issue before and
could help me out here.
We had MRP module recently implemented and been asked to calculate plan
qty datewise for given matnr.
Having looked at table plaf,i was quite hopeful.But later on i realized that once
that moment i confirm any production order ,quantity for that gets subtracted.
that is record gets removed from plaf.
The reamining plan qty is not something which i am looking for.
I want total planned quantity till given date.
I found that i get record in mseg and qals also on confirming production.
But still not able to compile sum total for these tables additional to plaf as i couldnot find
suitable linkage between plaf,qals or mseg.
Thanx in advance.
Regards to all..

Hi,
Plz excuse me,what is the point implementing MRP by companies when a person can't even
tell the planned qty daywise technically or by developing a report.
You asked that you want to get PldOrds from SAP I just suggested some tools. Why then are you saying this?
Please understand:
- Planned orders doesn't mean "production plan" generally. The planning might be much more sophisticated (just think of purchase orders, stock transport orders, production orders as GR-like element)
- in MTO einvironment it would be important to get information on SOs, or in MTO enironment information on PIRs - these are also important factors
- stock level might be also very important
- etc
What's the sense of getting the day-wise PldOrd list? What's its purpose? In itself it may say nothing.
I just want to say that the whole planning situation should be considered and it might be very complex.
I think MRP concept is:
- proper input (requirements) + proper master data maintanace > proper output
(so, you don't have to check the PldOrd quantities day-by-day)
Of course, SAP PP module has many deficiencies, reports are far from being perfect (or doesn't exist at all) - but first please examine MD04 and try to understand how MRP works.
In my opinion a mass-MD04 would be more important than the list you want (and filtering the mass-MD04 list you could get the desired PldOrd report as well).

Csaba

Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & exe

Dear All,
Is there any Utility industry company is using PP-production planning & execution module and CO-PC product costing module ??
Meaning.. any Power generation/Transmission/distribution or water production/Transmission/distribution company is using SAP PP or APO for their operation business processes.
Our client is actually an integrated Utility having very much integrated product lines like Processed Sea water for cooling, Process water for Industries, Potable water & Power for the communities/ industries.

But production processes are covered by PP and product costing CO-PC is also implemented and it is giving very accurate cost per unit both for plan side and actual side.
regards,
George

Dear Pavan,
Thanks for the reply..
Yes, as you rightly mentioned..It is not very simple...Utility production is bit complicated than normally believed by majority.
But for captive production of power & water, we had used PP/CO-PC successfully for may be more than 12 years(in tatas)..
What was done in Tatas, power as a material(finished good) and BOM/ recipe for it in the PP.
(because we had used PP-PI there) and Power's BOM water is an input material and in Water production BOM power is an input material..i.e recursive BOM and system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And main product was input for itself in its third stage.. And steam is input for itself and input for power/water and opposite also true..
And we got 5 different steam, like 50 pound, 100, 250 pound ..Still with all these complexities PP/CO-PC is able to give actual cost per unit accurately. So for production/generation standard PP/CO-PC will work fine...we are 100% sure...but for transmission and distribution is there any better way or solution model ??
But the main thing or the question is that whether you are able to get the actual qty of production consumption in process.
Then system (PP/CO-PC) will take care this iteration or this give and take.
And on the actual side of product costing, we have to use the material ledger functionality, wherein we can use multilevel settlement by which we can settle the actual cost variance at each stage of production to the next stage of production.
But the first reaction, when people hear about utility...it is very very simple...you are only producing one 2-3 final products..only 2-3 technologies involved...
But reality is quite different...and currently all the major utility company's production processes are outside SAP system, even when they are using SAP for all other functions/departments...but their main function is to produce water/power is outside the system..and like any other company production/generation processes are the most repeated activities in their company.
And if you see..even two repair works in say SAP PM module processes are different to each other..(still we are using a SAP module-PM for that to have historcial data and to learn from our from experience)
But production of desalination water from desalination plant is same today, tomorrow...day in ,day out...it is same..
And if we are saying we cannot co-relate input quantities with output quantities..we are essentially saying we have no control over production processes and we don't want to standardize our most repeated activity(production)
Anyway, since production processs is out of the system means, no quantitative data-production related is available in the SAP system and most of the organisation using excel for reporting of quantitative data-production related..

George

REGARDING THE PRODUCTION PLANNING FLOW IN IMPLEMENTATION

HI,
PLS TELL ME THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION PLANNING
FROM RAWMATERIAL TO FINISHED PRODUCT ( FROM ONE
END TO END IN IMPLEMENTATION )
REGARDS & THANKS IN ADVANCE,
MURALIDHAR

Hi,
Assume FERT below HALB below ROH.
1. Create a demand in MD61 for FERT material.
2. Run MRP by MD02.
3. Check the stock evaluation by MD04. System will generate planned order for req. Convert the planned order to prod order by double clicking planned order.
4. Same will apply for HALB also.
5. For ROH, system will create pur requisition, check in MD04.
6. Convert this Pur.Req into P.O. Do goods receipt against this P.O by MIGO.
7. Stock will increase for ROH. check the stock in MMBE.
8. Issue the ROH material against HALB prod order by MB1A 261 mvt.
9. Confirm the prod order by CO15. Do goods receipt by MB31 101 mvt.
10. Same is applicable for FERT material also.
11. Check the the stock in MMBE.

Dharma

Planning Security Issue

Hi,
I'm having issue with planning security on 11.1. I have a production planning app and a training app. The training app is a copy of the production app. I migrate security from the production app to the training app. the issue is that we have users that log on to the training app all the webform they are read only but if they log on to the production app they have write access. I'm not sure why this is the case. both app are identical.
Joe

Have you checked all the security has migrated successfully.
Have you check that the scenarios have the same start/end months/years between apps.
I would assume there must be something slightly different between the environments.

PP/PI (PP-PI (Production Planning for Process)with Repetative Manufacturing

Hi All,
Can anybody explain what is PP-PI (Production Planning for Process Industries) - Repetative manfacturing. What is BW Developers role in this and wht types of Cubes, Extractros etc.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
KN

Thanks for your replay.
No really I don't like to make the batch mandatory, during the good issue is not feasible inform the batch due to it is not managed in the Process Control System. Due to the behavior of PI_CONS if for batch managed materials the batch is not informed in the message or in the reservation an error is trigger. In the reservation snot feasible inform the batch because in that moment is unknown.
My question is if it is feasible some how have like FIFO batch determination when the process message is processed without creating a custom message.
Thanks in advance

Production planning run

Hi,
I have a continous supply of raw material with predifine schedules like 1000Lt at 7AM,1200Lt at 8AM etc. till 7.00PM. When i run the PPDS heuristics how the system accounts these expected planned receipts.Shall we have to created any STR or Schedule agreement...System has to consider these receipts and then only it has to generate further supplies if these are not sufficient...
Regards
Hemanth

Hemanth,
OK, SAP_MRP_001 is one of the standard 'MRP' type heuristics. I will assume that you know that this heuristic will perform MRP Demand-type planning.
For this heuristic to function, I will further assume that you know you need to have demand elements in place (dependent demand, Independent requirements, sales orders, etc etc).
When this heuristic runs, it will perform a net requirements calculation. This means it will look at all existing supply elements (stock, planned/production orders, purchase reqs/purchase ords,etc), and at all existing demand elements, and will determine in a time-phased fashion each place where demand is not met with supply. It will then look at the ordering policy of the material, and create procurement proposals.
So, to your issues:
Now i have to prepare a production planning schedule for tomorrow utilising the stock quantity first and based on the expected quantity schedules.
This is standard MRP planning. SAP_MRP_001 will do this, provided you have sufficient demand in place
I dont want the system to create Purchase requisitions.It should check the expected supplies and create planned orders for production planning.
The procurement proposal type will depend on the settings in the product master. Generally, if the material is 'externally procured', you will get a purchase requisition. If it is internally procured, you will get a planned order. Also, SAP_MRP_001 standard functionality is to check existing supplies during its calculations.
Now my question is how should i capture the expected supplply hourly schedule in APO and whether this Heuristics check these quantity schedules?
The exact timing of the procurement proposals will depend on when you actually have a shortage. This in turn is dependent on the timing of your demand elements. You can set the SIZE of the procurment proposal by setting the Lot Size procedure in the Product Master. In your case, I believe a time-based policy would be in order, such as 'by period', period = hour; number of periods = 1.
In your post you didn't mention:
Fin goods, Assembly, Raw materials
MTO or MTS
Process or Discrete
Demand or consumption planning.
Capacity Issues.
How to execute the plan
I am going to stick my neck out and make the assumption that you do not have a lot of experience in the area of PP/DS, or planning in general. If you are asking these questions because you are trying to learn about planning, fine. This is what these forums are for. On the other hand, if you are in a position where your job requires you to create these planning scenarios for your client, or for your business, then I strongly advise you to go to your supervisor and ask for help. SAP offers many fine schools to learn about these issues, and there are many consulting companies that will guide a company through the implementation of PP/DS planning.

Report generation issue

what are the diff report generation issues?

Nvm, solved it just had to set up Reporting studio in order to create an accurate report.

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to purchase and use on my work ipad?

Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).

Sales order reference at the time of Production Planning

Hi all,
Is there any Hard check (or) Validation at the time of assigning sales order in Production order?
to be more specific
At the time of creating production plann, we assign open sales order to that. Again if new production plan is created and with out knowing if he assign the same Sales order number system should block it.
Is there any solution for this
Regards
Shashi

Shashi,
Couple of important things to be noted.
1. How could you determine if the first user linking the SO to the Production Order really selected the correct one. It could be very much possible that the same Sales Order linked to the another Prod Order is actually correct.
Unless you have a business validation procedure to check this it will not be of much value to prevent duplicated.
