Creation of SNP planned order based on PDS

Hi,
I'm a APO developer and I have the following problem:
I would like to create a SNP planned order based on a PDS (like e. g. in the planning book when you input a number into a cell in the "Production (Planned)" line).
Up to now I've only managed to create such an order without using the PDS.
Can you name me a function module which allowes me to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've now managed to create this kind of order.
I set a breakpoint at the function module /SAPAPO/DM_PROD_ORDER_CHANGE and checked how it was filled in the planning book.
For those who want to know:
INCLUDE /sapapo/constants_om.
CONSTANTS:
    lc_order_type_1f        TYPE /sapapo/om_order_type VALUE '1F'.

Can we use SNP PDS in Multi level ATP ?

Hi All,
We do CTM planning with existing SNP PDS In APO and now we want to explore to use the Multi level ATP functionality for GATP. I know, MATP can create the ATP trees if the stock is not available and these can be converted into PPDS order.
My question is, can we use SNP PDS for this purpose?
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Hi Abhilasha,
There is no such specific mention anywhere in the literature that you cannot use SNP PDS for MATP. The only downside to using SNP PDS is that SNP PDS are meant for mid to long term planning and the activities/operations in SNP PDS are usually not in detail i.e only important activities or bottle neck components are usually used which will not always facilitate detailed scheduling.
On the other hand MATP creates ATP tree structures by plan exlosion(which can be SNP/PDS) and saves the requirements groups(component requirements of header level) with dates/qts and source of supply. It uses PPDS component to convert these ATP tree structures into PPDS planned orders depending on the conversion horizon/requirements dates. It does that by reading the source of supply, requirements dates and quantities from ATP tree structure and by plan explosion.
When MATP planned orders are created you should no longer plan them with automatic planning run as that will cause re-explosion of the plan and might cause incorrect down stream requirements if you had had substitutions at component leve during MATP check. In planned orders, you have an option of changing the allowed sources of supply (in source of supply section). But for orders created by MATP, you will not be allowed to change the source of supply field from SNP PDS to PPDS PDS in the planned order because it will re-explode the plan. So you can decide for yourself if you can use SNP PDS as source of supply for PPDS planned orders.
Hope that answers your question.

Mohan

Master recipes operations not getting transfered in SNP PDS to APO from R3

Hello APO Gurus,
I am trying to transfer SNP PDS for master receipes from R3 to APO.
Issue description::
The operation is not getting transfered correctly , some system default operation "010 generated Operation (from Planned Delive)" is getting generated in APO, also activity and resource capacity is not getting transfered. This situation exist for one plant 1000, for other plant 1100 the SNP PDS created correctly.
i have following points:
1. Is there some customizing setting missing on R3 or APO side for plant 1000 tbefore SNP PDS transfer
2. What need to be checked on master recipes data in R3,
i have checked on below points
1. FG Materials and all the Component Material to be in APO in a Active Integration Model.
2. BOM & Routing and Production Version setup correctly.
3. The Routing Operations have to Relevant to 'SCHEDULING'.
4. Try deleting the existing Integration model for materials & re-create new IM & activate.
Please help me to send SNP PDS correctly to APO to take heuristic run.
Regards
Gajendra
Edited by: Gajendra_APO on Aug 23, 2011 1:14 PM

Hi,
It is good that you have given your already checked points.
Please check the following things also and try to retransfer the PDS.
1. Check your resource in ECC, whether you have maintained the Process formula.
2. Check you have maintained some values in Master Recipe for processing time
3. Check whether the resource has been transferred for your plant 1000 to APO and an active IM exists.
4. Also check the type of the resource transferred to APO. It should be a single-mixed/ multi-mixed or bucket resource.
Hope this will help you to solve the issue.

Manimaran M.

Are there any restrictions on the schema that the XML Reports PDS can process?
Where could I find documentation on this isssues?
Thanks,
Fedro

Indeed, I have found that no xsd includes and complex types will work. There's a faint mention of this in the Report's Realease Notes, but nothing complete and thorough.
I have found that only the simpliest XML schemas with no custom types and (only a few elements of simple types will work). And also, a simple File-Row-column XML layout will work.
It seems to me that the XML PDS is still a newborn, and a lot of work still needs to be done to be practical and useful... long way to get something like FOP.
Well, the whole idea of having a web service which will feed XML docs to both parties and Report's services will have to stay in the oven a little longer (or may be not so little).
Thanks anyway,
Fedro

Error Message while Activating Integration Model for PDS

Hi,
When we are trying to activate IM for SNP subcontracting PDS,it gives us an error message
"No authorization to create Product ".
All master data for that particular Product,plant and Subcontractor are in place in APO.
Product is also extended to Plant and subcontractor.
T-lane is also thr in APO which got created via CIF (Subcontracting Purchasing Info record).
Need your expertise.
Regards
Abhi

Hello Abhi..
recently I have faced same problem. If you are facing problem for particular product location, I would suggest
1) Delete the particular Product master globally in APO & re cif data
if doesnot work, then problem must be with authorization
Please revert in case of any issue
Thanks

Creation of SNP PDS using planned delivery time

Dear Experts,
How do i control creation of PDS because of operaion generated from planned delivery time,although planed delivery ime is zero.
the scenario is as follows:
Material :XXXXX
Planned Delivery time
Procurement Type:E

in transaction /sapapo/curto_simu: there are two PDS displayed with PDS usage as PDS for Supply Network Planning(SNP)
the first one is because of operation generated fromm planned delivery time,output qty is the same a s that maintained as base qty in BOM and mode is blank,activity field is even blank.
the other PDS is created because of the valid production version in R/3.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dutta,
Thanx for a quick revert.
Yes we are using reciepe and we have a valid PDS being generated because of Production Version.
The problem lies with the creation of other PDS from planned delivery time whereinplanned delivery time is zero.I want a resolution so as the system doesnot create thses PDS which are invalid in nature.
These invalid PDS are hamperring result out of SNp optimizer for the reason these are considered in the input log of optimizer.

PDS Creation with Object Dependency

Hello Gurus,
I´ve written a function to run BAPI_PDSSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI in order to create PDS with object dependency (Super BOM). The PDS created by my function looks good in CURTO_SIMU, but it is not respecting the characteristic dependency during PPDS Heuristic. If I take a PDS generated in ECC with the exact same attributes, the heuristics explodes the components correctly. When I run the getlist bapi, it shows both ECC created and function created with all tables (pds_header, pds_component,) filled with the same content. Though, one PDS works and the other doesnt. I am clueless.
thank you a lot.
Cheers
Rafael

Mainly due locking issues. Added some logic to wait.

Unable to check the PDS in transaction /sapapo/curto_simu

Hello Experts,
I am using BAPI 'BAPI_PDSSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI' to create the PDS, i can see the pds getting created in /sapapo/trprod and as well i am able to get the PDS details through 'BAPI_PDSSRVAPS_GETLIST',
But using Transaction '/sapapo/curto_simu' i am unable to get any results for the product.
don't know why?
Thanks

Hi Gemini,
In se37 transaction in the input field, i have entered the 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2' and clicked on the button ' DISPLAY',but in the status bar i am getting the messsage as 'PROCESSING CANCELLED'.
I think in some transaction something has to be done,so that this can be viewd in SE£7 tcode.

When I create a Planned order using PDS, the Setup time is coming as 0.

We have been using PPMs for a long time, and now we are trying to migrate to PDS.
We are currently in SCM 7.0.
I successfully created the PDS in APO (using CIF from R/3). In the PDS (in APO), for a particular activity, I see the activity type is "S", and the Activity Duratiion (Fixed) is 43,200 Seconds.
However, when I create a planned order using this PDS, the activity time is zero (End time = Start Time).
When we use the PPM the setup time comes correctly.
Any help will be appreciated..

Senthil,
Thanks for your views.
I have checked all that you have suggested, and it is okay. The issue still persists.
One thing that I noticed was that it is working fine in the old SCM 5.0 environment - the setup time is coming correctly in the planned order.
However, we have this issue in the new SCM 7.0 environment. Is there something that is different in SCM 7.0 in terms order explosion ?
Reagrds,

Resource still showing Product in Capacity view even when the PDS is deleted

Hello,
I have a Material which had 2 PDSes sometime back. PDS1 has Resource1 and PDS2 has Resource 2. Some time back PDS2 was deleted(version also deleted from ECC). So, now the Material has only one source of Supply PDS1(with Resource 1). There are no open orders of the past which were on PDS2 or say, resource 2. So basically Resource 2 should now have no connection with Material.
However, when I load Resource 2 in Capacity View and drill down at Product Level, I can still see the said Material in the list with other materials(for which Resource 2 is still valid). Not sure why the Material would now appear there. Also, when i try to create any order for this material in Capacity view for resource 2, it says- No valid PDS/PPM available-which is fine, but why would the material appear there in the first place?
This is happening for many other materials as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi Cyrille..
Thanks for the reply! You are bang on..
The only catch here is that we do have a cons check program running every day which was not correcting the issue..but when i ran it manually, the issue got corrected automatically....
The only difference between the job run manually and the one running daily in background is that the background run has parallel processing profile assigned to it while i ran it manually without any PPP..
I guess PPP is the reason it was not happening
Thanks,

PDS - XML format, unable to read special characters in a string.

Hi All,
I've been using XML files to create my report with Oracle9i's new featue of PDS.
Now, I'm unable to read a file if it contains '&' or '<' in the string. In fact, the xml file itself not able to crate a xml page in the browser, if these special characters are present.
Is there any way to solve this problem ?
I can't tell the users to remove &, < from the description data. Is there any way to workaround for this ?
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Hi Rohit and Rajesh
Thanks for your reply.
In fact, my problem is like this:
I'll get data in .txt file and save that as a .xml file in the network before calling Oracle report ,which gets data from the .xml.
The contents are like this:
<Comapy name> Ford Motors UK & Europe</Company name>
<Department> HR & Pensions</Depatrment>
<Salary>Grad4 < 25000 </Salary>
As per XML entity character representation, I need to replace '&' with '&' and '<' with '<lt;'
I'm wondering is there any other way to solve this problem as it is difficult to replace '<' and '>' generically.
Honestly, I couldn't understand what Mr. Rajesh was trying to tell.
'for & use & ( with semicolon at the end)'
'for < use <'
'for > use >'
Can you shed some light on this ?
Many thanks
Satya.

PDS are not displayed in supply chain model SCC07

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add PDS to supply chain model (transaction SCC07)? currently i don't see this option (we are not using IPPE in the ECC).

Hello,
You can not see PDS in SCC07. Note that PDS are not even part of the menu.
You can also see that the SAP Help does not mention PDS in the documentation of the Supply Chain Engineer (SCC07):
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/4c/e1af376ed96c21e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm?frameset=/en/40/f5ae37fdcf3…

Oracle 9i Reports and Text PDS

We are using Oracle 9i Reports for printing reports with text PDS on Windows NT.
We have developed our own textpds.conf and replaced with the file which is present at the following location.
ORACLE9iReportsHOME\reports\conf\
My problem is:
1. We are using comma separted text file. But what I gathered from the documentation is that I need to hardcode the name of data input text file in the text query while building the report rdf. Can this name not be supplied to rwclient as the paramter.
This hardcoding of the text file is imposing the problem of replacing the text input file everytime the new report is generated.
If somebody can help me in this regard then it will be great.

Hi Ashish,
Currently this is not possible using TextPDS. You can create a script which copies/moves the intended data file to the file name you specified at design time.

PDS has input component twice, hance PReqs have two line items.

Hi,
In a subcontracting scenario, we are using PDS at Vendor location with only one component. However, the PDS has two entries for the component. Hence, the PRqs created frpm the plant on vendor have two line items.
What could be a cause (setting) for the PDS to be created like this?
Regards,
Shiva

Hi Senthil,
The BOM/ PRod Vers looks correct. In fact, the PDS is created correctly using CURTO_CREATE transaction in test system, and so are all orders correct. But, as a standard, we are using CIF IMods only for PDS transfer.
What is the difference between transferring PDS using CIF IMods and CURTO_CREATE?
Regards,
Shiva
