Production plant with two distirbution centers issue

here is my scenario that I need help..
company A outsourced its production to company B for material M1.
company B has a plant where they make production and ship to two distribution centers dc1 and dc2.
dc1 ships only to usa customers and dc2 only to europe
Company A sends forecast to company B for M1 for both dc1 and dc2.
what company B is doing is creating a part M1-A and making production and sending to dc1, another part M1-B and making production and sending to DC2. Both M1-A and M1-B are same as M1. the reason why they do this way is because.. M1-A should be placed on US size pallet and M1-B on euro size pallet.
is there any other way we can achieve the same without creating different part numbers for M1 as M1-A and M1-B just to differentiate the pallet type?
Thx
Swathi

Mariano,
thanks for the reply.. yes re palletization is not an option..
please see my reply to Julian..
from production execution side , yes we can do that batch charateristic..but how will I know how much should I produce for dc1 and how much for dc2 if I make it one part number?
right now scenario is like this
M1 - A : forecast in plant B : 300 pcs for week 1 (with suffix A, I know this will be shipped to DC1)
M1 - B : forecast in plant B : 700 pcs for week 1 (with suffix B, I know this will be shipped to DC2)
Requirement is to make just one material number M1 instead of suffix A and B
so future state will be
M1 : Forecast in plant B : 1000 pcs for week1
now, how will I know, how much should i build for dc1( on us pallet) and how much should i build for dc2 (on euro pallet)?""""""""
any ideas on how I can achieve this? I have one idea of using spl proc key of 40.. but just want to see some other experts opinions on solving this issue from planning perspective..

Release of po when two plants with two difrent procedures

Hi,
i am having one po with two line items .one line item with one plant and other with an other plant.two plant have difrent releasing procedure.what r the customisations required to pick the system related releasing procedure when it pick item one releasing procedure for plant1 and item 2 releasing procedure 2 automatically.
Thanks,
Sydanna

If you are talking about the PO release process, then it is not possible ..
The PO release Strategy will be applicable to entire PO, Not for Line Item wise..
As the Plant will be at Item Level, If you set two release strategies for two plants,
then you will not get release strategy for PO,
If you delete the First Line Item then the Release Strategy for Second Line Item will trigger..
Similarly, If you delete the Second Line Item then the Release Strategy for First Line Item will trigger..
Try to Choose Header Level fields for PO Release process..
If the release process is for PR, Then check this Link

Create/extend materials for new plant with new profit centers

Hi.
We have created a new plant and want to create/extend the materials from an existing plant to the new plant (with new profit center). Can this be done via MM17?
Regards,
Kjettern

Hi Kjettern,
To extend the existing material to a new Plant/Profit centre, pls follow the following steps: -
1. Copy down the material number (i.e XYZ) you want to extend.
2. Go to t-code MM01.
3. Enter the material number (i.e. XYZ) you copied from (1) into the Material field and hit ENTER.
4. You will get an information on the bottom that "the material type XXX and the industry sector YYY has been copied from master record".
5. Pls note that Basic Data 1 & 2 is not changeable as the same set of material data will be used when a material is extended.
6. Hit ENTER again. To change other details other than Basic Data 1 & 2, select the views that you want.
7. You will be prompted to enter a Plant. Here you must enter the new Plant that you want to extend the material to and hit ENTER.
8. You will get a confirmation stating that the material already existed and will be extended (to the desired Plant u entered in (7)).
9. Ensure that all the data in all the important tabs are maintained, for the right Storage Location, Warehouse Num, Moving Average Price, Standard Price etc. before proceed further.
10. Hit Save. You will get a msg that "Material XYZ created".
Now you are able to use this material number in the new Plant you created.
Hope this helps.

Work center with two cost centers

Hello,
I have one work center. I can produce two different products on it. For one product the costs should go to cost center 1. For the othe product the costs should go to cost center 2.
How can I realize this scenario?
Kind regards.

Dear,
IF you have to take care of capacity planning and scheduling, then you need to use only one WC and having two WC will not serve the pirpose.
Generaly you cannot assign WC to 2 different cost center unless the period is different.
Then the only solution is let the cost get posted to 1 common cost centre. Then at the month end distribute the cost to 2 different cost centers depending on then qty produced.
This is the one laternative we are following.

One Material with two Different In-House Production Days

Dear Experts,
We have 1 semi-finished material (HALB) that is common to two different locations (production version) with two different in-house Production days. How can we separate the 2 different in- house prod. days for this specific material? Could we setup in the production version? if not, could you give us an advice.
Ex:
JDXZ011111 with Prod. version I000 = 3 days
JDXZ011111 with Prod. version X000 = 1 day
We are hoping for your help..
Thank you.
Regards,
Marnelli

Dear Mamelli,
1.You cannot maintain the in-house production time in the production version.
2.In-house production time in days can be maintained in MRP2 view.
3.If Lead time scheduling is carried out at the time of MRP run then the system uses the in-house time for the calcualtion onf basic
start and end dates.Based on the routing data the system proposes the production start and end time.
4.Generally exception messages 64 Production finish after order finish
63 Production start before order start are shown after MRP run.
5.If basic scheduling is carried out then the system proposes only the basic dates.

Production Order for a Material with two units of measure?

Hi Everybody I have the following issue.
In my company there is a new production process with a Material that should be configured in the master data with the field "Base Unit of Measure" as per unit (each). But the production process, should be confirmed by tx CO11N, in Kilograms. I know that I can use the additional Data in tx MM03 to set a Production Unit, but the value of convertion would be fixed. For example 122 Kg = 1 each, the thing is that the value in kilograms for each lot can vary, one lot can weight 122 and another one can weghr 125, and in each case I shoul have two units in stock. And as I have the value of convertion fixed, when I confirm each lot one for 122 kg and another for 125 kg I will have 2.025 units in MB52.
How can I solve this problems? I need to have the chance the confirm in kg changing for each lote the quantity but in the base Unit of Measure have one unit for lot. As if for tx CO11N I could have a field where I can set tha x quantity of Kilograms is x each.
Kind regards
Leandro.

Hi Ayoub, First thank`s for your promt answer,
1. The Quantity is different, because is not a perfect process, there is a manual work in the process that makes this quantity differ, there is no big difference, maybe a Kilo or Two but the production mannager wants to have this registered. And besides in productions they manage kilograms, but for selling the comercials manage units (each - EA)
2.The convertion rate is known at the end of the process after cutting and packaging a unit, they weight it.
Regards
Leandro

Movement type for tranfer posting with in same plant between two diff mater

Dear Experts,
We have the below requirement.
We have two material 61(bagged) & 62 in MT with in same plant with same valuation class.
We want to transfer 10 MT of Material 62 to Material 61 equivalent no of Bagged 10*20= 200 bags with in the same plant.
We are trying to do the same using 309 movement, but system is throwing error
"" Stockkeeping units MT and BAG differ
Message no. M7105
Diagnosis
The "receiving" material is not managed in the same stockkeeping unit as the "issuing" material. A transfer posting "material to material" is only possible if both materials are managed in the same stockkeeping unit.
Procedure
Enter a different material or terminate processing."
Please advise,
Regards,
Alok

I am afraid I must confirm that your system is working as designed.
Transfer posting "material to material" is only possible if both
materials are managed in the same stock keeping unit (the term "stock
keeping unit" is a synonym for the term "base unit of measure").
For more information, please refer to the on-line documentation under
Transfer Posting and Stock Transfers:
"In order to carry out a transfer posting from material to material,
both materials must be managed in the same stock keeping unit."
Even though you have defined in MM01 an alternative unit of measure and
a conversion factor, the system will not consider this conversion
factor.
I am afraid that the only solution available for you to be able to
transfer from one matrial to another material, is to make the units
of measure the same, this is, both for either GR or CX.
But, please, take into account that changing the base unit of measure
is possible only under certain circumstances:
o if no stocks of the material exist in the system.
o if no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreement
   exist for the material.
The error message M7 105 cannot be converted to "warning" through
customizing, because it is hardcoded in the program and the customizing
settings have no effect.

Issues deploying a cloud service with two endpoints (HTTP and HTTPS)

I ran into an issue this week in the azure portal when I tried to deploy a cloud service with two endpoints. (I am using the azure sdk 2.2). I deployed the cloud service to production with the following endpoints in the ServiceDefinition.csdef:
<WebRole name="NameChanged.Web" vmsize="Small">
<Sites>
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn" endpointName="HttpsIn" />
<Binding name="HttpIn" endpointName="HttpIn" />
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpIn" protocol="http" port="80" />
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="NameChangedCertificate" />
</Endpoints>
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
</Imports>
<Certificates>
<Certificate name="NameChangedCertificate" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" />
</Certificates>
</WebRole>
I followed the directions here (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-configure-ssl-certificate/)
in Step 3 for deploying the cloud service to the azure portal. And HTTP worked just fine, but the HTTPS endpoint didn't work, we would get a 502 error whenever we tried to access the service via HTTPS.
We spent a lot of time to debug and see why HTTPS wasn't working, but everything we tried resulted in the same result: 502 error code when accessing the site
via HTTPS.
The only way that we were able to get HTTPS working for the cloud service in azure, was to completely delete our instance in the azure portal, and then do a two step deployment:
Step 1 - Remove the HTTP endpoint from our ServiceDefinition.csdef, like so:
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn"
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="staging" />
</Endpoints>
</WebRole>
We then deployed the service to the azure portal. AND THE SERVICE WORKED WITH HTTPS!!!
Step 2 - We added the HTTP endpoint back into the ServiceDefinition.csdef, redeployed and both HTTP and HTTPS worked on the site.
I wanted to post this to help others that may have the same issue, and to see if anyone else has experienced this same thing? Is this an issue in the azure 2.2 SDK? This seems like a work around for getting both HTTP and HTTPS endpoints for a
cloud service, and it seems "wrong". Does anyone have a better way to do this?

Hi Tim;
This seems to be an very useful workaround thanks for sharing it. Hopefully this will come in handy for many of us.

I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
(Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage. in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to.
now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm. now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller! it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch. so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right. i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

Very Strange Network Issue With Two Guests on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster

Hi all. We're having a odd issue with two guests on our 2012 R2 failover cluster.
In a nutshell, if we shutdown a particular server (I'll call it Server A) another totally different server (Server B) on the same node loses it's network connectivity to the domain. If we start server A back up, network connectivity returns on server B.
At first I thought server A might be running a service that was somehow linked to server B, so I decided to disable server A's NIC. Interestingly, that had no affect on server B's connectivity.
The next step I tried was pausing server A and again, no adverse affect on server B's connectivity.
Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
One other clue is that if I ping server B from either of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster, I never lose network connection to server B.
So I would suspect this is some network issue on the cluster, but I'm kind of at a loss where to go from here.
Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
George Moore

Hi Sir,
I'v never seen this before .
>>Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
They are connecting to same virtual switch ?
First please run cluster validation to check if there is any error .
If it is ok , please try the following items for troubleshooting :
1. shutdown serverA serverB
2. then add another virtual NIC for serverB
3. start server B check if the issue happens to both "old" and "new" virtual NIC .
In addition , you can live migrate both A and B to another node , then try to live migrate A to the original node .
If the issue persists , I would suggest you to remove that virtual switch on both nodes then re-create them .

Elton Ji

Having Multiple Material Codes with Different Profit Centers in one Plant

Hi,
Can someone explain me what impact it will have, if there are different Material Codes with multiple profit centers in a single plant? For example, say Material 1 has Profit Center as PC1 and Material 2 has Profit Center as PC2 and they are in a single plant. Will this have impact on Financial Transactions?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Hi Sameer
No negative impact.. It is very much possible and logical
All the purchases made - > Stocks and vendor liability will be tagged to the PC of the Material
All the sales made -> COGS, Revenue and Customer Liability will be tagged to the PC of the material, unless you overwrite using a Substitution

Hello (hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue)
I own as above a MAC PRO (Early 2008) this has a RAID card installed along with two 15k.7 cheetah hdd (320gb) and a spare drive, (which i made a regular drive)
a while ago i had to replace the RAID card battery, so i did this, over a year later the same thing happened again, but as previous just left it and the system seemed fine for ages, until last night i was working in PHOTOSHOP and everything just froze and the screen kind of appeared GREEN, could not do a single thing. So restarted the mac, this time grey screen for ages and a message appeared, (macs version of blue screen) (see attached).
I restarted the machine and this time a flashing question mark folder!
could not do a thing.
so i found my copy of snow leopard and got the computer to run this and at least launch the DISK UTILITY and (Interestingly in the drop down menu RAID UTILITY was also in the menu) but it did not matter which utility i used the (RAID or DISK) neither could see any of drives, just the dvd drive.
so looked around on you tube and various forums and discovered if i take out the RAID CARD and re-plug the main lead from the RAID card back in to the LOGIC BOARD I would be reverting the MAC to a normal regular non-RAID computer.
After performing this HARDWARE task and inserting all three HDD, and running the DISK utility from the drop down menu via the SNOW LEOPARD disc.
(interestingly since the RAID card had been removed the RAID UTILITY from the drop down menu no longer appeared). running disk utility I can now only see the regular (spare) hdd and DVD Drive, but the two RAID HDD , again, still do not show up DISK UTILITY?
O.K. so i could chuck out the RAID card (AND RAID HDD) and just go with a regular set-up, and run a back restore from Time Machine on a NEW hdd purchased.
but what is wrong with the RAID, is the card at fault or are both HDD used for the RAID knackered? can i perform any tests, to see whats what?
thanks for your help in advanced.

hello people, the issue was in fact the GRAPHICS card nothing to do with the HDD or RAID system ( although this did cause issues with the RAID system it basically lost its way) below is my replay to another similar problem some one else had!
working in photoshop and then everything stopped working and the lot froze! only option was to force shutdown (via button).
and try to restart, hoping all was fine, this was not the case :-(
I had the added issue of the RAID card system, that i have, this was confused to say the lease and would not behave or work, causing the start up to hang.
so i thought the HDD must be bust and the root cause. ( but soon learnt it was not the cause )
...bought a new HDD removed the RAID card and replugged the cable from RAID card into LOGIC board, ( making the computer act like any normal non-RAID system). I managed to install the OSX, using the snow leopard disk way. once the mac was running, i started to notice the screen would flicker and started to see 'artefacts'. so i started to reveal my symptoms to the web and forums and soon discovered that my graphics card could be the issue all along?.
(nvidia geforce 8800gt 2x dvi).
I read up on that a fix, could be either A. reply the thermal paste, as the card could be over heating or B. stick the card in the oven trick.
Tried option A. first and nothing still issues, so last night took the plunge carried out option B. and ta da it worked! i even managed to run
from my new HDD my lasted install OS X, absolutely fine. I then thought, maybe i could repair my RAID so replugged all the HARDWARD back in and
carried out a disk repair and disk permissions on drives( took a small amount of time), via the SNOW LEOPARD disc - (Disk utilities) and this worked and now have my system working as it was just over 6 days ago.
what was the cost to get this? bought a new hdd so 40.00gbp and thermal paste and cleaner kit ( your still need to do this ) search video card trick on you tube.
and renew thermal paste, approx 15.00gbp, technically i don't need the new HDD, but it was all part of the trial and error way i went. ( i do have extra storage as a result!)"

EXTERNAL OPERATION in a production order with different company code plant

Hi,
in my case i am having a production order with 4 operations.
0010 milling
0020 winding
0030 cutting
0040 milling
among this opearion 0030 i want to do it in a plant which is assigned to different company code than mine.
in this case whether i should proceed with PP01 Control key with opearion plant as that plant which is lieing in diffent company code or
i should specify PP02 control key saying that plant as an external vendor for me and do PR and PO for that service .
which should i follow for my case and how cost gets updated .

Hi,
For different company code, u have to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn.
Before that create purchase info record.
Enter subcontract info record in routing.
after running MRP , convert the PR to PO.
Send the material by MB1B by 541 mvt
Receive the material by MIGO by 101 mvt.

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..

Help with SQL Code - Production Order with Manual Issue Method

Hi,
I need some assistance here.
I need to retrieve Production Order which has component's issue method = 'M'.
Eg:
Production Order #50001 has 4 components.
Component A, issue method = 'M'
Component B, issue method = 'B'
Component C, issue method = 'B'
Component D, issue method = 'M'
Production Order #50002 has 2 components.
Component B, issue method = 'B'
Component C, issue method = 'B'
When I run the query, I want to display the Production #50001 componenets simply because in this Production Order, it contains components with issued method 'M'. However, Production #50002 will not be displayed because no components are with issued method = M.
Appreicate any help in advance.

No, this is not what I need.
To put in IssueMethod in the where clause will only gives me the component line with Manual.
Please refer to the example.
I have a production order which, its components have combination of issue method = 'Manual' as well as Backflush.
I need to display all of them within the Production Order if the production order contain any line which has issue method = Manual.
