Regarding Factory calendar

hi all,
I want to know this..
1. We assign FC in work centre capacity planning.In maintceplans we have radio buttons time,keydate,[FC] and in MP but in MM seprately FC is assigned ..would this give anyconglict....

pushpa

Practically within a particular geography there will rarely be two factory calendars. Yet, every function deals with the factory calendar associated with it. For maintenance plans the factory calendar you enter in maintenance plan will decide when a call will be due. But if the factory calendar is different for the production or procurement then those availability dates will be considered. Will there be an effect is your question? The answer is yes. Because if the same calendar is used then the possible due dates for procured spares can be different from if different calendars are used for maintenance and materials departments.

Query Regarding Factory Calendars

I see most of the calendars in our system (4.7) are end dated to 2010. Does any one know whether the default calendar start /end dates are 1990 to 2010?
I am planning to extend them by 5 to 10 years. Do I need to take any special precautions? I am aware that calendars are client independent.
Does SAP provides calendars as a note that can be downloaded and transported??
Any advice highly appreciated.

Hi
You can create your own factory calendar and then change the end year and then first of all you need to configure holiday days and then working days also.
You need to transport the data if you are configuring a new factory calendar or you have to transport the data if you are changing the standard factory calendar also

Updation of Factory Calendar

Hi,
I have a situation here regarding Factory Calendar.
So far we are maintaining the Factory Calendar through Opening the System, but now we want to Synchronize it and route it through proper Transport System.
Can I get suggestions, for how can I sync the PRD, TEST and DEV Systems maintaining the current config in PRD system
Whether we get the PRD Factory Calendar Dump and then compare and create in DEV, or is there another system / process / way by which we can sync all three Systems ?
Total calendars would be around 30 Factory Calendars.
Please provide expert comments / suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Harris

Dear,
General: You can only transport the factory/public holiday calendar as a whole.
System landscape: The factory/public holiday calendar should be maintained and changed in a separate Customizing client/system. It can then be transported to productive or test systems. Direct changes in the production systems are not recommended.
Prerequisites for the transport:
    Your user has the authorization object S_CALENDAR
    The role of the client from which you want to perform the transport is set to Customizing
    Cross-client Customizing is allowed
    The transport link is active (automatic recording of changes)
The settings of the client can be checked as follows: Tools -> Customizing -> Basic functions -> Set up clients -> Set up client
Header Data
You can check the 3 last points in the client settings. To do this, call transaction SCC4. Double-click on the client where they are located. Check the settings.
Please transport your all Calender again to Prod system.

Factory Calendar issue in creation of Sales Order/ Delivery Order

Hi all,
There is one issue. Our user is not able to create Sales Order/ delivery order as he is getting the below error message u201CDate 2010-12-27 lies after the end of Factory calendar F1u201D. But when I checked the plant in customization, the Factory calendar assigned is u201CKRu201D and not u201CF1u201D. So I donu2019t understand why this error message is appearing. But when I checked Factory calendar u201CF1u201D, it was valid only up to 2010 and there are special rules also set. Only few days in the year are working days. Factory Calendar u201CF1u201D description says u201CKOR customers billed on the 25th of every monthu201D
Please advice.

Hi Zabina,
Try this function module 'DURATION_DETERMINE'.
Give the factory calendar and unit as DAY

System does not propose the delivery date based on factory calendar

Hi,
I am creating a sales order for a delivery date for this sat which is (2/22/09)
I have maintained 2 separate calendars for
1) shipping point
2) for the route
The route has a transit time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working.
the Shipping point has a pick/pack time of 1 day and the calendar has sat and sunday as non working
The material is available in the warehouse
Now when i create this sales order i enter the delivery date as 2/22/09, the system does not propose me the delivery date of monday (i.e 2/23/09) It accepts the 2/22/09 delivery date.
In the schedule line i do see the date as 2/22/09 only.
The delivery was created with the following dates
Picking = 2/17/09
Transportation Planning = 02/18/2009
Loading =02/18/2009
Planned GI= 02/18/2009
Delivery Date = 02/22/2009
How can the system give me the delivery date of a sunday when the calendar doesnt allow sunday as working day.
Also the route time is 1 day in transit so i am not sure why the system is proposing a 3 day transit time?
Can any one explain the behaviour of SAP for the delivery date logic

Dspsac,
Delivery date can be any date. For instance, if your customer insisted on a Sunday delivery, you would accommodate him, regardless of any calendar.
From the delivery date, the system counts backwards USING THE FACTORY CALENDAR ASSIGNED TO THE ROUTE by the number of days in the route. You have to consult the FC assigned to your Route to determine if the GI date has been properly calculated.
From the GI date, the system counts backward Pick/pack time, using the shipping point calendar, to arrive at Material availability date.
Calculations are explained in SAP online help
[Transportation and Delivery Scheduling|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/dd/5607e7545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm]

Error while processing sales order as factory calendar missing.

"factory calendar missing or error in factory calendar".iam getting this error while processing sales order even though i have assigned it to shipping point and plant and sales org.

Hi Malik, How are you? I'm sorry to trouble you,
Let me introduce, I'm Daniel, and I saw your fantastic asnwer in
the topic "How to update Factory Calendar in SRM", and might I have the same
problem. It's with the "factory calendar".
In transaction va02 when I choose a Delivery Date, and I sent it to process, as
a result in the "shipping tab" it calculated to the first item one date, and to
the rest one date different. I don't know What it happen?
I debugged the program and I saw that to the first item use to calculate the
date is the function 'APO_SCHEDULING', and to the rest item use
'SD_SCHEDULING', and until here I come.
How can I do to what the dates calculated are the same? or What would be the
problem?
I need the dates calculated are equal.
I looked at it's using two "factory calendar" which are "J4" and "C2". Is this
correct?
Thanks In Advance,
My best regards,

SNP Planned order not following resource bucket capacity/factory calendar

Hi gurus,
SCM 5.0
I am running SNP heuristics for a product and expecting planned orders for it. It has corresponding production data structure and multimixed resource. The resource has an assignd factory calendar and SNP bucket capacity. The bucket capactiy availablity dates of the resouce is consistent with the factory calendar workdays/holidays. Using simple lot for lot strategy, I am expecting heuristics to schedule the planned orders on the dates of the demand in compliance with teh SNP bucket capacity availability of the resource. APO does not schedule on holidays consistent with bucket capactiy. This is true until...
We have a public holiday in factory calendar that needs to become a workday. To remedy this, we put a special rule for the factory calendar and explicitly made that holiday into a workday. The changes were synchronized with APO, and this is also reflected in the bucket capacity of the resourc: former holiday now has bucket capacity after the calendar change. However, when running heuristics, it still does not create SNP planned order on that former holiday that has been changed into workday. Even if it is a public holiday, there is already a special rule for the factory calendar and the resource bucket capacity reflects this correctly. But SNP heuristics seems not to follow this change.
Any ideas on this? looks like a bug.

Hi Edgar,
Yes, when your resource reflects the addional capacity of the holiday turned working day, then it is expected to be considered for the SNP planned order.
Instead of SNP heuristics, you may try to check interactively in SNP planning book, if manual order creation in the bucket works out.
Since this is a mutlimix resource , it can also be checked if in PPDS planned order can be created on the day.
The above checking may not solve your problem , but will get to know if at least manully the bucket is being considered or not.

Datta

LSO - Issue with Factory calendar End Year and creation of New courses

Hi,
Recently we are experiencing an Issue in LSO with the system hanging while creation of "Course with Resources".
Upon Analysis we identified that while creating course with resources and by checking "Period without Days off" option references the set factory calendar in LSO config and since this set Factory Calendar has an End Year in 2005, the system hangs trying to reference this factory calendar.
For some course types we are unable to even enter the course creation Data screen. These course types have " Main schedule" (with / without pattern) pre defined.
The issue does not seem to occur if we extend the factory calendar to current period or future.
Please let me know if anybody has faced this issue, if extending the factory calendar the right solution and what is the impact of exteding a factory calendar in HR module. Is the factory calendar referenced anywhere else in HR module?
Note: in LSO config you can set the factory calendar in Training and Event Management>SAP Learning Solution>Training Management>Basic settings>Control Options for Days Off,
Regards

Factory Calendar Validity Date Expires 2010

Hi All,
In all standard SAP systems Factory Calendars are delivered with a validity date until 2010 at first installation.
This could lead to follow-up errors at the turn of the year.To overcome the issue we need to extend the validity date of Factory Calender across all SAP system.
As per my understanding we can extend the validity of calender manually in OLTP system (i.e. ECC etc) but in BW system we mostly transfer these validity using the "Transfer global settings".
Is there a way to maintain these validity directly in BW instead of importing it from ECC, and is this recommonded to do it directly in BW?
If we do it directly in, BW will this impact sync between OLTP and BW system etc?
Any expert advice is highly appreciated...
Regards
Dev

Yes, the settings can be maintained in BW, in the same IMG position as ECC.
If you have a single ECC system and BW system, I would always 'Transfer Global Settings' in a daily (or weekly - minimum) process chain to insure consistancy between the systems.
If my BW consolidated multiple ECC systems, I would maintian the BW system manually

Date not defined in factory calendar

while creating the process order using the t - code COR1, i got error saying that " Date not defined in factory calendar "
i extended the factory calendar in t - code SCAL.
still i am facing the error.
please help

Ok Sudhir.
Then the problem is one of the workcenter you are using in Production Order. The Intervals of available capacity are maintained in a work center capacity whose 'To date' is after the expiration date of the factory calendar. The error does not occur if the date is 12/31/9999.
Go to workcenter - Capacity - Interval & shifts
The 'To date' of an interval of available capacity must be maintained so that it is within the validity period of the factory calendar. The exception is the date 12/31/9999, which is allowed.

Factory Calendar

Hi Friends
I have a task to upload the factory calendars.I don't want to do manual upload, but want to upload all the data at once.
I tried to run through the BDC recording, but the transaction includes an ALV which I cannot capture in BDC recording.
So can you please provide me any other function module or BAPI which can upload the factory calendar.
Thanks
- Rita

I dont think you have any Fm or Bapi to achieve the same .
Cause while creating factory calender u need to also customize the Holiday calender for the same and enter the holidays per year and valid years for the same .
tables Tfacd, Tholi and t001w reflects the entries of Factory calender settings .
infact i will check once and let u know .

MC44: material usage value affected by factory calendar

Hi Gurus,
I've got the following problem: on my 4.6c R3 production instance factory calendar had been setup as 7 working days a week but recently the need was to change it to 5 working days a week due to the introduction of route calculation to determine correct dates for the sales orders.
We changed the factory calendar (which did deliver the correct result for the sales orders) only to discover that the "Usage" value determined for the materials by MC44 got totally wrong (usage with the 5 working days calendar was approximately 30 to 50% LESS than with the 7 days working calendar !!)
As soon as we did restore factory calendar back to 7 working days a week MC44 was again fine (obviously sales orders date got wrong...).
My impression is that everything is based on the way data from table MVER is determined depending on the factory calendar (which is apparently driven by function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORY_DATE).
I guess I could change from customizing the calendar for the shipping point: in that case my expectation is that sales orders date should be fine as well as results from MC44 but I'm not totally sure about that.
Any idea ? Do you know which is the way table MVER is populated based on the calendar settings ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Enrico

Hi Jurgen,
from the logical point of view sounds reasonable but....
1) even if I didn't fully debug the program (otherwise I guess I would know the answer ) looks like MVER is the only one considered in terms of usage
2) even if you forget point 1 (I could obviously be wrong) you're missing one information that I didn't mention: our usage (or consumption if you prefer) is 98% done from Monday to Friday; sometimes we do something on Saturday but this is kind of an exception.
Based on the above, despite the factory calendar is setup on 7 working days a week, our material usage is basically done on 5 working days a week. Described this way you'll immediately understand that, even if the program reads the data based on the number of working days, changing the calendar from 7 to 5 should cause a decrease of only 2-3%, in our case changing the factory calendar from 7 to 5 working days is causing a decrease of 30% to 50%.
I believe the program is reading the table in a different way based on the factory calendar, I'll try to give you an example:
      Day     Usage
01   Mon       10
02   Tue        20
03   Wed      30
04   Thu        40
05   Fri          50     ---> total week 1 far 150
06   Sat         2
07   Sun        0      -
> total of the weekend 2
08   Mon       100
09   Tue        200
10   Wed        300
11   Thu       400
12   Fri        500     -
> total week 2 1500
13   Sat        6
14   Sun       0        -
> total of the weekend 6
For the 2 weeks, factory calendar 7 working days a week, total usage would be 1658.
In your case, switching to 5 working days a week, it should deliver usage only for Monday to Friday, which is 1658 - (2+6)=1650    (i.e. difference is peanuts)
As I said, I couldn't get to the end of the debug, but my impression was that, switching to 5 working days a week (based on the above example) the program would read 10 "days" so from Monday 01 to Wednesday 10, in that case the total would be 1658 - (4005006) = 752 (now difference is huge...).
So...... maybe main question could be: which is the way MVER is populated ?
Best regards,
Enrico
