Production supply area w/Min Max

Hello,
I have a WM scenario that i want to prototype, and i would like to know the steps involved in this WM scenario.
The scenario is :
Production Area Supply w/ Min Max
Illustrate the material replenishment to the PSA based on min/max levels for raw materials and intermediates; Min level based on requirements for 2 production runs, Max level based on requirements for 3 production runs.
the material for the replenishment is taken from the storage types.
pl. do mention the steps or how to carry out the scenario with the t codes involved in it.
Thanks,
Maxx

I suggest you checking system by two ways:
1) Set PSA to work center, now it works? If so please check BOM settings carefully.
2) Don't use dynamic production bin, just try a physical bin. If it works please check control cycle settings.
Note: You create the dynamic storage bin "production order" in the control cycle for pick parts. The system then stages all the materials for a specific production order in a dynamic storage bin with this production order number.
When you system emit errors again please use LS24 to check if having a dynamic bin with a production order number.

Production supply Area assigned to Mov Type 319

Dear All,
What is happening in background if we set production supply area to mov type 319(Replenish for production).
Also please tell what is KANBAN Interface & why it is used.
Thanks & Regards,
Olet Malla

Hi
Yes you do not have WM-PP interface.
With WM-PP Interface you can automate the entire process based on Production order status.
For example when you confirm the Production order system will genearate TR automatically for all the components. This can be further automated to complete the warehouse operation by changing the status of Production order.

Production supply area (PSA)

Hello,
I would like to know how to define the production supply area in the material master record. It would be of much help and precise if anyone could mention the view in material master in which the Production supply areas could be assigned for a material.
Thanks,
Maxx.

If you set this up on material master, it will always stage material to this area. You can achieve the same by maintaining a control cycle. With control cycle and leaving this field blank on material master, you can map it to the level of storage bin for production staging.

Errror : production supply area not available fieldin work center .

HI
   hi friends
        i want to maintain production supply area in work centre...
        production supply area means storage location??
      i have a confusion between storage location and production supply area
pls suggest me where i missed the setting
with regards
dinesh

Production supply area is not a storage location. It is linked to one, but you may have more than one supply area per storage location.
Supply areas are used in KANBAN processes, and I think that also in WM-PP interface.

Production supply area (PSA) and supply area

Hi,
Is there any difference between supply area and Production supply area. it woul be good if you could explain me the difference.
Thanks,
Maxx

Both are same
Production Supply Area is the link between Warehosue Management and Production function.
Production supply areas (PSAs) are used for material replenishment and are situated directly on the shop floor in the production department. The supply area groups work centers near production storage bins based on the material staging methods. You need to enter the PSA in the work center master data.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/c6/f8412f4afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Hope this helps.
An area on the shop floor where material is provided that can be directly used for production.
The supply area is used, for example, in KANBAN production control and for material staging using Warehouse Management (WM).
Proposed Supply Area in Material Master Record
The supply area is used as an interim storage area on the shop floor
     which is used to provide materials directly at the production line.
The proposed supply area is mainly used for KANBAN materials that are
     only or usually provided at one supply area in a plant. Here, this supply
     area can be easily saved in the system.
The proposed supply area is used, for example, to determine the supply
     area for the dependent requirements of a material.
     The supply area in the dependent requirements of a material is required:
     o to enable the system to calculate the KANBAN control cycles
        automatically
     o to enable you to select requirements in the pull list with reference
        to a supply area

Material batches from Production Supply Area St. Type

Hello Team,
1. User do LP12 for WM Staging [MvT 319]
2. He Goto LB11 and creates TO.
3. But when User creates TO for 319 MvT, system picks up batch from Production Supply Area.
It should NOT pick up material batches from Production Supply Area.
Please suggest at earliest..
Thanks
Tushar

Hi,
Check customizing settings
check PK05, check if you have maintained the proper production supply area , WM storage loc. As I see it you are doing prod supply for release order parts. Also see cr02, basic data , see if you have assigned proper production supply area.
check storage type 100 is properly defined , movement type 319 are created and their assignment made in WM.
Also check if you have activated PP/WM interface.
If all the settinsg are done , there should be no problems.
Regards

Difference between Production Supply Area and a Storage Location

Hello Experts,
Basic question but wanted to get more clarity on the concept as i never worked on the PSA
Can someone tell me the exact difference between PSA and a SL. I understand PSA is a Kanban, WM and SL is an IM concept. Can a work center have a storage location assigned or just a PSA? Can a GI be done from PSA or just from a storage location.

Hello
The production supply area is a master data used by WM, while the storage location is used by MM-IM.
Check this link for details:
Production Supply Area - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
The goods issue is done with reference to the storage location
It is possible to assigne a storage location to a production supply area and assign the production supply area to the work center.

Replenishement directly from external supplier to production supply area

Hi Experts
I'm new in WM,
We have a big tanks for oil which will be used by the production as a component during the production process, these tanks is in the PSA "Production supply Area" and the supplier provide the oil directly to PSA ( not throug the Warehouse) so these tanks are under the production control.
we need to implement this process in SAP.
we need the stept by step implementation of that request
your support is highly recommanded for us
Many thanks in advance
Olfa

There are many ways to do your requirement. One among them is, Implement KANBAN Process using External Replenishment.
Evaluate options using PK01 .. External proc.

Picking in WM for production supply area

Dear expert,
In my scenario when production order is released it will automatically create TR. Then convert to TO to move from fixed bin (source) to production supply (storage type 100). Now, i want to do picking this material from production supply (storage type 100) to supply area in work centre for production.
How to do this?

Hi BPO,
Please define your requirement better. What causes problem to you?
Are you speaking about raw materials or SFG that you get when you book confirmation against your PrdOrd?
You can create storage bins under storage type 100 as well (to store your goods there) and you can define storage typr search (SPRO) and storage strategies (WM view in material master).
You can define control cycles for your supply areas...
What's your problem exactly?
Thanks,
Csaba

Production supply area question

Hi
I need to stage materials from WM storage location (0001) to production line.
Generally in WM, material staging happens by staging the materials to the PSA. So I create PSA and assign it to the workcenter.
Next step is to assign this PSA to the storage location. My question, is this storage location a different storage location or is it the same 0001 location?
Thx

hi ,
This should be a new storage type and need not have to be a storage location. You can use the same 0001 itself.
cheers

Updating Price and Supplier at Requisition interface table after Min/Max

Hello,
We have requirement of updatig requisition data at interface table once Min/Max planning is completed.
We need input here like what would be the behaviour of Standard Requisition import program if we update price and supplier details at interface table after Min.Max planning and before running the Requisiton import.
Quick reponse will help us to move forward on this requirement.
Thanks
Devaraj.K

Hi,
Yes, we are using sourcing rules, so whenever i update the interface table with Price and Supplier detials after Min/Max then the Req.Import should not consider the Sourcing rules, it should create requisiton based on the values (Price and Supplier)provided at interface tanle.
Quick reponse would helpful us to move further on this,
Thanks in advance,

Min/Max Internal Orders 1 Requisition

We are running Min/Max planning to replenish stock in an "Emergency Warehouse" organization. The requisition import kicks off internal orders to a replenishment organization. The planner in the replenishment organization would like one order for each Min/Max run. The requisition group-by default in Purchasing parameters is vendor yet we are still seeing one unique requisition for each item thus creating one unique internal sales order per item. Thoughts?

Stick wrote:
The requisition group-by default in Purchasing parameters is vendor yet we are still seeing one unique requisition for each item thus creating one unique internal sales order per item. Thoughts?In this case the requisitions will not be grouped by Vendor because the supply source is Inventoy which is creating internal requisitions and not purchasing requisition (source is Supplier/ Vendor).
It is important to know how you are importing requisitions and what value is specified for Group By parameter during import. The value you setup in Purchasing Options defaults in the Requisition Import request parameter screen, but this can be changed before submission. So it is possible in your case that requisitions are imported using a different group by than what is specified in Purchasing Options.
From the list of different group by options available (All, Buyer, Category, Item, Supplier) you can probably use 'Location' during requisition import.
Location: Group requisition lines for each delivery location on a separate requisition.
But this will not guarantee 100% success because:
- If you import requisitions with source as INV then those can include requisitions from different INV sources generated from Reorder, Kanban etc having same delivery location. In that case all those requisitions will be grouped under a single header having same location.
- there may be different users running requisition import manually and some may forget to change this group by parameter (defaulted from purchasing options) while importing Min-Max planned requisitions (again they cannot segregate Min-Max, they can just specify INV as source)
A better solution would be to use the oracle provided custom hook (po_reqimp_pkg.post_validate_user_extensions) for requisition import to populate the GROUP_CODE column in PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE table. The logic inside the hook should identify the rows in the interface table generated from each run of Min-Max and populate a unique value for all those rows in the GROUP_CODE column. You need a small piece of code to be added inside the hook.
You can also use REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1 column in the interface table to populate an unique value for all rows you want to group together. But in this case the value you specify will become the requisition number if there are no conflicts with the requisition number rule. Both these column, when populated, have precedence over Group by parameter. 1st priority GROUP_CODE (if populated). If GROUP_CODE is not populated then it checks REQ_NUMBER_SEGMENT1. If this is also blank then it uses Group By parameter.
Thanks

Min Max Planning not reading Flow Schedules as Demand

We use min max planning to order all recurring purchases and flow schedules for production planning.
Min max planning report does NOT see flow schedules as a source of demand. Is this correct or are we missing a setup somewhere?
If min max planning cannot read flow schedules, is there a standard report to identify component shortages where items are between min max level but not enough on hand to fulfill the open flow schedule?

Check the user and employee tht you have used to launch the conc prog...

Min-Max Planning simple questions

Hi
I'm trying to use Min-Max Planning. Inventory User's Guide says that Min-Max Plannig uses a demand to evaluate order quantity, but don't tell if such demand by month, year or whatever. Looking the figures seems to be annual demand (but doesn't match my annual sales). What kind of demand is used?
If demand is calculated on a yearly basis, resulting order qty should be to satisfy sales of a whole year (I guess).
Is there a way to change that? Does really matter?
Please some words of advise

Looking the figures seems to be annual demand (but doesn't match my annual sales). What kind of demand is used?Hi Oscar,
depending upon at which level (organization or subinventory) you are running Min-Max planning and the options selected for net demand will determine what will be included under open demand. It is the total open demand on or before the demand cutoff date, based on net demand selection for reserved & unreserved orders and WIP. It is NOT by month, year or any period.
Min-Max at Organization level:
If you choose Yes for Net Unreserved Orders, Net Reserved Orders and Net WIP Demand then Open Demand is the sum of unreserved sales orders, inventory reservations (including reserved sales orders), account issue move orders, and WIP component demand scheduled for issue on or before the demand cutoff date.
Min-Max at Subinventory level:
If you choose Yes for Net Unreserved Orders and Net Reserved Orders (no WIP demand option here) then Open Demand is the sum of inventory reservations (including reserved sales orders), account issue move orders, and subinventory transfer move orders scheduled for issue from this subinventory on or before the demand cutoff
date. At subinventory level inventory reservations referencing a different subinventory, or with no subinventory specified, are not included.
e.g. if the demand cutoff date is 30-Jun-2009 and net options have been selected as Yes then then it will look for demand upto 30-Jun-2009 (Note: some apps reports have time part issue while comparing dates, so in those cases 30-Jun-2009 is taken as 30-Jun-2009 00:00:00 i.e 29-Jun-2009 midnight!).
Also if you specify a past date for demand cutoff date it will consider open demands available, if any, upto that past date (but you plan for the future, not past).

Supply area assignment in Production order

Hello All,
Is there supply area available in production order? As per my understanding the storage locations ( either issue or receiving ) data is available in the BOM of the Production order. But is there any field for capturing the supply area in the production order. If so from where is this supply area picked, is it from the Default supply area in the production version maintained in Material master?And in which tab can i see this supply area information in the Production order.
Regards
Divya

Divya,
There is no field for supply area that can be found in production order. However this filed is available in Work center Master data. WC is displayed in the operation screen of production order.
Supply area (SA) is used in the context of material replenishment area and is situated directly on the shop floor. Many work centers (WC) could be located within a single SA. This field is available in WC so that location of WC can be displayed easily on a large shopfloor.
I am sure this helps. For more questions please come back.
thanks,
Ram
