Publication of SNP PReq into R/3

Hi
I need to publish SNP Preq from APO to R?3 only from a single location and selected SKUs.
I understand that I can select the location from distribution definition but can I control SKU too?
please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
You can try creating customised user exits to achieve this requirement

How to conversion of SNP orders into PP/DS orders

Hi gurus,
How to conversion of SNP orders into PP/DS orders, Can u explain me, what is the process.
PRASAD

Hi,
You have to convert SNP Planned Orders to PPDS Planned Orders thru /SAPAPO/RRP_SNP2PPDS by specifying
Planning version,product and location and the standard heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL and propagation range.
or in /SAPAPO/RRP3 and /SAPAPO/RRP4 directly.

Automatic conversion of Preq into PO

Hi All,
Instead of having an MRP planner checking each p.req and to convert them manually in a PO, is there any possibility to an automatic process where, based on the vendor lead time, the p.req is automatically converted in a PO, released and sent to the Vendor?
Thanks,
Seshadri

Hi
There is a process of automatic PO generation against the PR.
Following pre-requisites need to be ensured for this functionality to run successfully:
1. Mark Auto PO checkbox in material master
2. Mark auto PO checkbox in vendor master
3. Maintain info records or scheduling agreements
4. Maintain source list with fix vendor indicator & MRP relevant indicator.
Schedule a background job for program RM06BB30 (Transaction ME59N) to run after the MRP run.
I would suggest not to set-up the release startegy for MRP generated PR & PO thereof.
Set-up an output type in PO with transmission medium 5 (External Send).
I hope this helps you.

How is receipt date on manually entered PReq determined?

In SNP, I sometimes manually key PReqs into the planning book (SNP94). I key them in by entering a quantity at the receiving location, and then selecting a source/means of transport from the popup screen.
If I select a MOT with a shorter duration (e.g. airfreight), the PReq receipt date is changed to an earlier date than the date that I keyed.
It seems that APO is determining ship date based on a longer duration MOT (e.g. ship), and then adding the duration from the airfreight MOT to that ship date to determine the receipt date.
I want APO to respect the receipt date that I'm entering, but to use the shorter MOT that I've selected. Any suggestions?

Scott,
I've also tested the same. When I use the Demand Date to enter the PRs using 2 Means of Transports (MOT) ... system behaves correctly and gives the correct available Dates. i.e : Gives a Earlier Available Date for the Shorter MOT in the PR.
However when I enter the Receipt Date, the same does happen. When I create in TLB Interactive Planning, the Calculated Available Date seems to behave as if it is following the First MOT in the TLB Lane rather than the MOT you have selected. However once I save the PR ... the correct earlier date is calculated which is earlier than the Date I entered. Effectively System
I think you should OSS this issue to SAP. We are on SCM SP#8 & have this Problem too. SCM 50 is now on SP#11. Perhaps there is a Patch for this, if not you should send this issue to SAP as I think it is a Bug.

Setting up SNP with ECC at a macro level

Hello experts
What are the different scenarios that can be set up with SNP - ECC - SNP with respect to Distribution planning ?
Meaning stock transfers , assuming PPDS will be active and will only be used for creating PPDS planned orders.
We have 10 plants and 34 DC's and regional DC's.
Thank you.
Regards
KK

HI KK
This is more an architecture question that has to be addressed at macro level.
Assuming your demand is coming from DP or somewhere outside, a SNP run either SNP Heuristics or CTM or optimizer could be setup to move that demand from DCs to Plants. Then you run the planing runs at each plant in PPDS producing planned orders in short term and SNP run for medium to long term. If you have external procurement, the system creates purchase reqs.
If your plants are sourcing your DCs and then to regional DCs, you may want to run this in 3 stages, first SNP from regional DC to DC, then DC to plant and finally at Plant.
At one of our projects, we separated the SNP runs into Heuristic( where these is no capacity issue) and some into CTM ( where there are more constraints).
Based on the scenario, you may choose to integrate these planed orders, purchase reqs. from SNP/PPDS to ECC and execute there.
You may also run a deployment run from the plants to DCs and not integrate these deployment reqs. with ECC ( as you would not execute them yet), then finally convert these deployment reqs. into STOs/POs and then push these to ECC for execution.
There are infact so many possibilities based your business need. You may take above as a frame work. Hope this helps.

PReq quantity not synchronized with work order.

Hello,
I have a work order for which created Preq for external component with quantity 10.
Then when converting PReq into PO I have change the quantity to 5. So I have PO with quantity 5 but in the work order requirement quantity is still 10. When trying to change it on work order level I'm getting following error message: 'A purchase order already exists for purchase requisition ...'
Does anyone of you know if there is any option to synchronize quantity in work order level with PReq and PO? I know that for the sales orders there is t-code VA07 for Comparison of Orders with PReqs and POs. Do we have the same option for maintenance work orders?
Thanks in advance for any clues.

SNP Heuristics not recognizing Source of Supply ( TL or Quota )

Hello,
I am running SNP Heurisitics and it is not recognizing transportation lane and just proposing Purchase requisition without a source of supply.
A simple supply chain looks like this:
MAT1 at LOCNO1 sourced from VENDOR1.
Transportation lane VENDOR1 --> LOCNO1.
Inbound Quota for location Locno1 partnered location being vendor1.
I have demand of 1000 units and SNP Heurisitics proposes 1000 purchase requisitions ( AG ).
I run SNP Heurisitics or SNP Optimizer but both solutions do not recognize the source of Supply ( TL or Inbound ).
However when I run CTM, CTM recognizes the transportation lane ( source of supply ) and creates a SNP PREQ ( EA).
Can someone help to see what I am missing. Thank you.
regards,
Najam

Aparna,
Thanks for the reply. Validity dates are okay and the procurement type is set external procurement ( F ). However, I do not have external procurement relationship. Just using a transportation lane created manually.

Najam

Differentiate between SNP Deployment generated Purchase Requisition in R/3

Hi
We are implementing SNP with Deployment. Purchase Requisitions are being generated from both SNP Heuristic run and Deployment heuristic run and they are transferred to R/3. So using TC MD04 in R/3, we can see both Purchase Requistion coming from the same requirement. We want to convert the Purchase Requisition generated from Deployment to Purchase Order using ME59/ ME59N in the background. Currently, there is no difference between both PReqs in R/3, so system is incorrectly picking up both the PReqs.
It will be great help if anyone can suggest a way to differentiate them in R/3.
Thanks,
Prasun

You can identify PR by category
Category :
EA SNP: PReq SNP: Purchase requisition
EF DEP: PReq Deployment: Purchase requisition
you can use user exit APOCF013 on APO side to put some flag for SNP PR and use the same in R/3.
You need to identify one field in PR data that you can use in R/3 to identify SNP or DEP PR and by user exit you can put flag in that field .
Hope it will help you further.

CRM - SCM-APO integration - TPOP

Hi all, i have TPOP (Third Party Order Processing) scenario which involves CRM and APO integration. I create a sales order and this triggers a planned purchase order in SCM APO. How do i find that planned purchase order in SCM APO?

Hi Animesh
If you do not know what the order number that was created then you can go into the product view to find the order. As you are aware this transaction is by product (also enter location and version 000). Press enter and do not press the Create Order button. This takes you into a screen where all elements for the product are shown. You will need to know what date the order was created on then you can find it. Since you are looking for planned purchase orders these should come into APO as planned requisitions in which case your order should appear with either 'PurRqs' or 'SNP: PReq' in the Category column. I believe if you double click into the order you can see all of the products.
If you do know the order number (maybe sales order is updated in CRM?) then use transaction /sapapo/rrp2.
Be sure that you are looking for purchase orders and not planned orders - the method to view them will be the same just different categories in the categories column.

Does APO support the simplified CrossCompany STO scenario from ECC ?

Hello experts,
I'm seeking for some short infos around using / support of the "single document CrossCompany StockTransfer Order" process from ECC and whether this can be used within APO. If someone has some experience with this I would be happy to hear any feedback on this.
The starting point is that we use today an APO planning process for cross company replenishment via the famous 2-documents flow (IC PurchOrder --> IC SalesOrder) and we wanted to check if APO-SNP can support the simplified STO scenario. The "beauty" of course is that you only have a single document to deal with in an intercompany process.
Can SNP create STO PReqs (is this only depenend on the source-of-supply definition in the vendor master in ECC) ?
Can SNP Deployment process such SNP STO PReqs at a hub location ("fair share" at supplying plant)?
Can TLB by used at a Hub to turn such "deployed" STO PReqs into STO PurchOrders in ECC ?
Is the fcst consumption of such STOs working in the supplying plant side ?
Are there any serious / known limitations working with STO in APO (using Interchangeability, using GATP in the supplying plant side to perform rescheduling by BOP on these STOs etc.)
Thanks for any hints or experience sharing !
Regards
Thomas

Hi Frank,
thanks for the detailed info - this helps to find a way thru the larger documentation. In regards to applying / testing the RDS we will check getting an SCM sandbox "on-hand".
Beside this I started searching OSS on my initial question - note 1284461 - Release Restrictions for SAP SCM 7.0 seems have some items to around using "STO" in APO SNP & GATP (see below).
Another note explicitely defines how to get the right "SourceOfSupply" definition into APO for the STO sceanrio: 1623475
So, what is basically left open for me is:
* is TLB correctly working using "SNP Deployed STOs" ?
* at the supplying plant of the STO (typically a central DC) - is GATP able to catch at least demand of such STOs for ATP qty consideration

Thomas
Stock Transport Order and product interchangeability
The functionality of product interchangeability in Stock Transport Orders (STO)s
will not support
- purchasing requisitions and scheduling agreements
- old purchase transaction e.g. ME21
.. the handling in case of inconsistencies between confirmed quantity in STO/delivery
and real quantity in warehouse at time of goods issue can only be resolved as
follows:
- Either deletion and recreation of STO and delivery
or
- post goods issue with #real# quantity (reduce delivered quantity), post goods receipt and
set delivery complete indicator, correct situation in warehouse, create new STO
item.
Backorder processing for Stock Transfer Orders - Rescheduling
The rescheduling for Stock Transfer Orders is done in LC during the update.
Rescheduling is supported during Backorder processing (BOP) but the results are
only consistent with LC scheduling if Configurable Process Scheduling (CPS) is
used.

Vendor information not updated in the PO

Hello,
I have a case where a PReq was created with a blocked vendor GE Canada then when the buyer converted the Preq into the PO before saving the PO they she changed the vendor to GE Canada (Not blocked) but when she save the PO it still kept the old vendor's address which is in Toronto instead of updating the address with the unblocked one which is in Calgary.
What causes this?
Thanks
Ibou

Hi Ibou,
If it's only for that one PO, why not update the Vendor address in the purchase order itself? I assume that all other purchase requisitions created after the change copies the udpated address already.
I also tested the scenario in our system and it behaves similarly to your sandbox system.
Cheers.

Master data: maintain "Goods Issue Processing Time" in R3 and CIF it ?

Hello,
we want to use the so called GIPRT (Goods Issue Processing Time) in the APO material master (Tab: GR/GI) to schedule SNP PREQs. I can maintain the field in APO but finally I'm looking for maintaining it in the conencted R3 material master (MM02). I see a field in R3 called MARC-GI_PR_TIME but after scanning the material master customizing I think you can't add that to any dynpro in MM01/02/03.
I wonder if this field (MARC-GI_PR_TIME) in R3 is truly meant for maintaining the Goods Issue Processing Time in R3 and transfering it to SCM via the CIF or whether its there but has no function or is maintained somewhere else in R3. Any idea ?
Workaround obviously would be to maintain the field in APO directly - but that's what I want to avoid since 99% of master data are coming from R3.
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You can implement user exit EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001 and can write code based on your requirement ( May be you want to transfer this GR time for some of the products only). You can push the values by this user exit for any field in APO.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Change item category in a PO

Hi experts,
I'm would like to change the item category (from L to empty or vice versa) while creating a PO in reference to a PR (the PR has been created through a project, CJ20N).
But I'm always getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >L<u201D.
I had a look to "Spro/Material Management/Purchasing/Purchase Requisition/Define document types" but I couldn't solve the problem.
Could you give some advises?
Thanjs

Hi, you are probably right that I mixed account assignment category and item category, not the first time that I mix these two indicators.
In old PO transactions is not possible to change the item category, but with the new transactions like ME21N it is possible.
Please have a look into OSS Note 26027 - Converting PReq into purchase order: Dialog indic.
Maybe you have the same wrong entry in the customizing table as described in this note.
