Releasing Production order

Dear Experts,
Please confirm me when i should release the planned order to production order to our shop floor.
1. Is it when all the materials are in stock ?
2. Is it by checking by RM delivering date coming from PO. I.e., if suppose my all RM delivery date are coming as 2.12.11 then today should i release the planned order to production order for date 3.12.11 for our shop floor.
3. Or other is any ?
Regards,

Hi,
What are you asking about creation of production order from planned order or releasing of production order from created stage.?
Conversion of planned order to production can be done according to planning activity of an organization but releasing of a created production should be done when we actually decides to run the production order into shop floor.
Material availability of a material is checked during creation and release but you can set your system not to allow release if material is not available in OPJK as per your order type.
Hope it helps.

How get all released production orders

Hi experts,
I need to get all released Production Orders for a specific plant. I noticed that usually you don´t select directly from table AUFK. Most of people use function module WCFS_STTXT_GET to get the status of an order. I know that table AUFK has fields ASTNR (status) and PHAS1 (released) however those fields don't reflect the status of an order (thatu2019s why WCFS_STTXT_GET is used).
Also, I know that table JEST contains status for an order; however, for a simple order that table shows more than one status (I guess is like a history of all status the order had).
So my question is: How can I get all released orders for an specific plant? If I use WCFS_STTXT_GET I would have to select all orders and check the status one by one, which is obviously not efficient at all.
Thanks!

Hi Carlos,
As far as i know, it is not possible to get the latest status on a production order. if we see a production order in CO03, we see that all the status' are displayed on the order which it has been through.
I remember we had to include the system status logic similar to the transaction COHV, and we had used the table JEST for the same.
Kindly update the solution if you find any.
Thanks.

Material shortage ( soft or hard error ) while releasing production order?

Hi Guys
I am a SAP tech guy wrote a BDC program to release production order. It worked fine in one enviroment but not working another enviroment saying ..Material shortage.
My BDC program can't afford any hard errors in the process. The execution stop abruptly for any hard error.
How to change that Material shortage from hard error to soft error or any info message.
Any ideas? any thing to do with material master or spro?
Thanks
Hari

Hi
You can make settings in SPRO, so that the material availability check will not restrict you to go further...
follow the path:
SPRO>Production->Shop floor control>Operations->Availability Check-->Scope of check
There you will find the settings for order creation and release (1 & 2)..
You have remove the restriction there.

Change of sales order in combination with planned/released production order

Hi Guru's,
How do you deal with changes in the sales order in combination with planned orders and the scenario how to deal with release production orders?
Can you tell me the SAP scenario, technically or reports or transactions or user exits, etc?
Thank you in advance,
Eric

Here You have 2 scenarios
1. Sales order changed at planned order stage
In this case any chagne of quantity done in the sales order level will be taken care by the Planned order until it was not firmed .
In case if it was firmed for the increased qty you will get a new planned order getting created.
In case if it is reduced and if it was unfirmed it will get changed accordingly
2. Sales order changed at production order stage
if the planned order was converted to production order change we can manually changes the respective Production order util no confirmation was done to any operations..
is all this scenariors you are looking for if it is helpful let me know
thanks..

Capacity Requirement From Released Production Order

Hi PP Gurus,
Can i limit capacity requirement only from released production order ? I don't want to count requirement from production order that just created but not yet release.
Regards,
Arman Lie

Dear Arman,
As a standard practice the system creates the capacityrequirements once the production order is created.
Check this,
When a production order is created the following actions are carried out:
·        A routing is selected, its operations and sequences are transferred to the order
·        The bill of materials is exploded and the items in the bill of material are transferred to the order
·        Reservations are generated for bill of material items held in stock
·        The planned costs for the order are generated
·        The capacity requirements are generated for the work centers
·        Purchase requisitions are generated for non-stock items and externally-processed operations

Cannot release production order for a plant

Hi:
When I try to release a process order , I get this error message:
"CAnnot release production order for plant".
I get this message for a particular material in the plant. For other materials, it's working fine.
Please give your suggestions!
Gautham

Hi,
Check the Tasklist usage for your routing for that material.
For this usage ,check in op45 against the task list type whether until release indicator has been enabled.If so remove
and do the release.
or
check whether workcenter which is used for producing the material has been locked in work center itself.
Indicator: Usage only until release in orderIndicator used to specify for a task list usage and a task list type that an operation in the order cannot be released. This occurs when a work center group that is not intended for production is allocated to this operation.
When this type of operation in the order is released you must enter the work center where production should take place.

Don't release Production Order for negative stock.

Actually i don't want Production Order to be released, if component (child) items falls into negative stock. Is there any solution for that. If yes, please help me out.
Thanks

HI!
you can write a SP to block Release a production order from planned state.
Check the onHand stock of all child items w.r.t the warehouse and block updating the status to release

Error at time releasing production order

Hi guru,
I am creating production order manually but at the time release i got error"No product cost collector could be deterimined for material " in material master i will check mRP -4 but there activation for REM. I am not get this exactly what happen, Pl do needful.
With regards,
Ravindra.

Dear Ravindra,
It seems for the production order type which you are using in CO01 has the order type dependent parameters where the check
box for product cost collector has been included (in the third tab - controlling).Check the setting in OPL8 for the production order
type which you are using to create the production order and the plant combination.
If it's included means you can remove this setting and try once again.
Check and revert

Spare Sales order stealing stock from a Released production order

Hi Gurus,
This is not a new problem. I read the below link only a hundred time now.
Sales order stealing components from Production order
Business scenario-
Top Assembly material - XYZ (Let's say Desktop PC), Proc type - E, Plng Strat - 40 (regular MTS scenario)
Sub Assembly material - ABC (Let's say Monitor), Proc type - F, Plng Strat - blank. But we sell this part sometimes (Let's say - customer wants an additional monitor).
Roy is a shop supervisor working on a $1 million Sales order for Top assembly XYZ which is already late and customer is screaming.
He released the production order with no missing parts, printed and fretting to finish this order.
After couple of hours of setup & machine prep - Roy went to pick up the parts and to his surprise material ABC is not available.
Tina is at shipping department working on a $1000 Sales order that arrive today. System said 'sure you can ship it 3 days in advance'. So created a delivery and shipped it to the customer.
Now, Roy ran TCode: MB52 and found out that Tina just shipped his component ABC.
SAP gave the part ABC to a $1000 sales order and business lost sales on a $1 million order.
Please find the attachment for config screen shots TCode: OPJJ
Sales order Checking rule
Production order Release checking rule
Please help me resolve this issue.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,

Praneeth,
There are two separate concepts here. "How do I ensure that production orders and Sales orders are on an equal footing" and "what is the purpose of 'check without RLT'.
You have an ATP check relevant for Sales orders (checking rule "A" for Make To Stock). You have an ATP check for production orders (I assume it is checking rule "PP"). If you want these two objects to have equal priority on stock and supplies, then make the two rules (OVZ9 for A and PP) identical.
Now, to RLT.
Prod Order Release has 'Check without RLT' active, that means - it'll let the sales orders (also that are outside the RLT) steal the stock.
Sales orders that are outside RLT will automatically confirm. "Stealing" stock is a result of combination of the ATP for the sales orders, plus the ATP for the sales order delivery, combined with the ATP for production orders. and any ATP you may have on Goods Issues against a production order. I cannot possibly tell you what you should do to prevent stealing stock, since there are so many permutations of scenarios that can affect the outcome.
I suggest instead that you give me concrete scenarios, telling me of specific problems, illustrated with screenshots of CO09, and I will help you through one or two specific scenarios.
Best regards,

Auto Material & Capacity Availability check when releasing Production Order

Dear Experts,
Is there any configuration in Production Planning that will automatically check material availability and capacity availability automatically when a Production Order is released?
Meaning to say, users will not need to manually click on the Check Material Availability and Check Capacity Availability button.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've solved the problem. Just maintain the config in transaction OPJK.
Thanks
