Production.Sched.Profile - PP-PI

Question

Dear Forum Members,
While configuring the production scheduling profile in PP-PI,(using T.Code CORY) the option for setting automatic Goods receipt
is not displayed.Is there any OSS notes to be applied for resolving this or if not what could be the reason for not providing the
option for Auto GR in this profile particularly for PP-PI?Kindly please share your views.

Hi Mangal,
In PP-PI , Auto goods receipt is done at the phase level, and done with the control key settings . Mostly auto GR is done in the last phase of last operation.
Is your product serialized or non-serialized? For serialized product, you cannot have have auto GR. GI and GR to be done by two separate operations. GR by MB31. For non-serialized products, certainly you can have GI and GR together.
Scheduling margin Key,
The float before production, float after production and the release period are defined in the scheduling margin key (Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations -- Scheduling--- Define Scheduling Margin Key) . The scheduling margin key is assigned to the material ( MRP area in the material master) and is transferred when the production order is created. These values can be changed in the production order.
You define the following floats with the scheduling margin key:
opening period
float after production (only in the case of in-house production)
float before production (only in the case of in-house production)
release period (only in the case of production order management)
Floats are always maintained in workdays.
Opening period- The number of working days between the date that the order is created and the planned start date.
This time is available for the MRP controller to convert a planned order into a purchase requisition or a production order.
float after production- The number of working days between the scheduled finish date and the order finish date; used as a float in production scheduling.
float before production- The number of working days between the order start date and the scheduled start date; used as a float in production scheduling.
release period- The number of workdays between the planned start date of the production order and the date for releasing the order.
If the order release indicator is set, the production order is released by a background program that takes all dates into account.
More Specifically ,  A schedule margin key consist of folowing  days as required in a production order
1.Opening Period : The number of working days between the date that the order is created and the planned start date.
2.Float After Production  :The number of working days between the scheduled finish date and the order finish date; used as a float in production scheduling
3.Float Before Production  : The number of working days between the order start date and the scheduled start date; used as a float in production scheduling
4.Release Period of the Production Order : The number of workdays between the planned start date of the production order and the date for releasing the
The float before production, float after production and the release period are defined in the scheduling margin key (Customizing for Shop Floor Control, by choosing Operations  Scheduling  Define Scheduling Margin Key). The scheduling margin key is assigned to the material (MRP area in the material master) and is transferred when the production order is created. These values can be changed in the production order in CO02.
You define Scehduling Margin Key in -OPPQ/OPPR and same has been assinged to MMR in MM02 of that FG/SFG material .
