Replenishment method

Dear experts,
i have maintained all config for replenishment control. I have maintained replenishment method 2 ( Immediate TO for Random Storage) in the configuration. I hope that this means when an outbound pick causes the stock to fall below the minimum, an immediate replenishment TO is created. I have maintained mail control indicator to check if an error log gets created.
I seem to get an error in the process. As soon as i confirm the Outbound TO, i get the following inbox message error log.
"Error during creation of replenishment transfer order from TO confirmation
Error during replenishment for mat.xxxxxxx whse no.stor.type
Material xxxxxxx has no capacity checking data for warehouse"
I do not have any capacity checking active. Is capacity check necessary for this type of replenishment to work?

Hi Guest.
No, you do not need to run capacity check on your ST for random replenishment. We use this method without any complications and the storage type is not set for capacity checks. Check your config on the storage type master to see if the capacity check is activated and determine if you realy need this.
Cheers,
Hein

Information need on Dynamic Replenishment method

Hi,
Please provide your valuable inputs:
1. Could you please let us know whether dynamic method can be used to replenish wh. If that is allowed please let us know why Order is not generated in that case or how it should be generated?
Eg: Wh 's soh is zero, created replenishment for wh.
2. Instead of dynamic i used 'Dynamic Issues' then order is generated successfully. If dynamic is not used for wh replenishment what is the reason behind that?

There are many notes and documents on MyOracleSupport on the topic of (Dynamic) (WH) replenishment, I suggest to find and read those first.

Sap wms fixed replenishment method procedure.

hi
can anybody help me to the process of FIXED REPLENISHMENT METOD PROCESS .
anybody elebarote it clearly.
thanks inadvance.

Hi,
Replenishment is used to fill up the stock in fixed storage bins. The SAP system first creates transfer requirements for the required quantities. You then process the transfer requirements to create transfer orders as you normally would with the WM system.
Two different replenishment functions are available to you:
The function "replenishment for fixed storage bins" calculates the replenishment quantities necessary to maintain stock levels, based on the current stock situation and the entries in the material master.
The function "planning of replenishments for fixed storage bins" forecasts the necessary stock for fixed storage bins by considering planned stock removals resulting from existing deliveries with picking from fixed storage bins, along side the current stock situation.
This is calculated based on the entries maintianed in the material master.

Replenishment for random bins

hello all,
I would like to verify the steps below that i am planning to use for random bin management in a storage type.
1. I am planning to use mvmt. type 319 and assign it to particular storage type in configuration,
2. I am using only the Minimum and replenishment quantity for the particular storage type without specifying any fixed bins in the material master.
3. planning to use t- code LP24 to carry out random bin replenishment.
4. also, i would like to what is the difference between "Transfer orders immediate for fixed bins and Transfer orders Immediate for random bins" in configuration under replenishment method for storage type.
pl. let me know if all these steps are correct and if i want to carry out any more additional steps.
Thanks,
Maxx

The differnece in configuration is that in field V_T331M-REPLT you set "1" (immediate TO, fixed bin) or "2" (immediate TO, random).
In case of fixed bin:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fd/90fbf4b3cd11d3b2ad0050045571f7/frameset.htm
1. Immediate TO Creation for Fixed Bins
With this replenishment strategy, the system checks the stock situation in the bin during transfer order confirmation. It uses the quant data and the material master data from the storage type view. A replenishment transfer order determines the fixed storage bin of the material in this storage type as the destination storage bin.
In case of random bin replenishment:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fd/90fbf4b3cd11d3b2ad0050045571f7/frameset.htm
2. Immediate TO Creation Random Bin Management
With this replenishment strategy, the system checks the stock situation of the material in the entire storage type during transfer order confirmation. All the quant data of the material in this storage type and the material master data from the storage type view are used by the system. If the entire stock in this storage type falls below the minimum quantity after transfer confirmation, the system creates a replenishment transfer order. The destination storage bin is determined through the putaway strategy for this storage type. Maintenance of a fixed storage bin is therefore not required in the storage type view of the material master.
So, as you can see, the differences are:
- stock situation --> system checks only the (destination) fixed bin (fixed bin) / system checks the (destination) storage type (random)
- destination bin --> fixed bin (fixed bin) / determined based on the putaway strategy of the storage type (random)

VMI and reduce Stock in Transit - what are the right methods?

Hi Gurus,
We are using APO system to implement VMI functionality to replenish stock at customer location. We need to build stock in transit at customer location after PGI happens in ECC.
Now, stock in transit is show up in 'Stock in transit' key figure, but the question is how to reduce stock in transit once it is received at customer location.
SAP recommends following four methods to reduce:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/f1/f69a3dcbcfac53e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
1. Goods receipt information is not sent from the customer to the vendor
2. The open purchase order quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
3. A proof of delivery is sent from the customer
4. The stock in transit quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
Out of these 1 and 2 methods are feasible in our scenario.
Please share your experience if you have used any of these methods, I want to hear from someone who implemented any of these methods before deciding on a method.
Thanks in advance,
Niranjan

Dear Niranjan,
I have implemented SCM-APO VMI using Past Releases of SCM (version 4.1) for upto 300 Customer Sites & 500-1000 Products.
In my experience ... this is a Big Custom Development using EDI - IDOCs / ALE wherein you Receive from Customer the Data either as "Open Orders" or "Goods Receipt" of VMI Order at Customer Store or "In-transits" as they view it. There is a Facility to receive them in the PROACT IDOC but you have to write IDOC FUnction Modules to post the Data to the
VMI Planning Area as well as at Product-Location you have to Daily Delete the In-transit Order (Category EI or AH for ASN) and Upload Intransit Quantity directly into Live-Cache as a Order. The Development is also complex as you need to Map the VMI Customer Product to the Vendor/Manufacturer's Product COdes in SCM-APO.
I have experience implementing VMI like this several years ago ... and I am not sure if SAP SCM-APO built anything Standard for the Interface over the years. If you are not sure get a ALE/IDOC & ABAP Consultant or XI Consultant to work with you on the Project.
You can Delete In-transit Quantities by using RLCDEL Transaction for Category EI or AH (if ASNs are used). You need a IDOC/ALE Development to Calculate and Upload In-Transits and Update into the VMI Planning Area as well as Download to a FILE which you can use via another ABAP Development to Upload In-transits at the Product-Location (Customer) in SCM-APO.
Hope this helps.

After research and testing I found second method looks good to me. I tested in our test system, this works pretty much they way it is described in the help (link in above message) . The issue is resolved.

Time supply in replenishment

hi all,
A sku is placed on Time Supply replenishment. if we select stock category as direct to store , do we need to make sure that the min days of supply should always be set more than the supplier lead time ?
regards,
deepak

hi ,
yeah , what you mentioned was right but my query was to understand , while we set min days of supply ( as per forecasted daily sale and sales rate ) do we need to make sure its to set always more than the lead time from supplier to warehouse and from warehouse store even though these parameters not set for this method.
eg: if we set minimum as two days of supply for an item with a sales rate of 10 units/ days ....and max days of supply is 5 days which is 50 units. so here the moment the stock hits less than 20 units or 2 days of supply.
what if , in this scenario the lead time between supplier to warehouse is 3 days and by the time we get the stock back to store we would incur a single day as lost sale right.
due to this reason only i had raised a doubt to clarify myself " do we always need to ensure MIN DOS more than the lead time".
thanks & regards,
deepak

Replenishment for fixed bins in WM

Hello Experts,
I have a need to create auto TOs for replenishing fixed bins.If I am correct for auto TOs,i dont need to run LP21.
I have defined a custom WM movement type for 319.In the custom movement type I have defined source storage type and destination storagetype and selected Auto TO in background.
I have defined replenishment control for storage type-- entered the movement type and selected repleishment method '1'.
Can some one suggest me if i am missing some thing?
Do i need to define the search sequense as putaway to be directed to fixed bin storage type from other storage types?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Yes, you are correct, you need to define search sequence for the storage types and for the replenishment storage types as well.
Hope it is clear.

Time series error in class /SCF/CL_ICHDM_DATAAXS method /SCF/IF_ICHDMAXS_2_

Hi,
In SNC system, the supplier is getting the following error when he is trying to update the planned receipt quantity.
Due to that error the ASN canu2019t be created and sent to ECC system.
Time series error in class /SCF/CL_ICHDM_DATAAXS method /SCF/IF_ICHDMAXS_2_CNTL~SAVE
Please give your inputs as to how to resolve this error.
Regards,
Shivali

Hi Shivali,
This is not related to time series data issue.
ASN (ASN number:122593)XML failed may be because of there no Purchase order(Reference order) exists for supplier 0000104466 which will be there in failed XML.(see the DespatchedDeliveryNotification_In XML check XML tag <PurchaseOrderReference> value under tag <Item>)
Login as a supplier 0000104466 and search for purchase order (or replenishment order) and this PO(or RO) won't be there in supplier 0000104466 .
That's why ASN got failed.

Replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.

Hi Experts,
As per the requirement from client, we need to configure the setting of replenishment upto max. stock level during SNP heuristics run.
I am using below settings in R/3 for achieving the expected results.
(R/3 ) MRP1 u2013
Lot size                       HB               Replenish to maximum stock level
Maximum stock level      20,000
(APO) Targ.Stk Lvl Methd   5 u2013 in APO u2013 product master -   lot size tab.
Still, after heuristics run, the requisitions are getting created equals to forecast value. It should get generated as max. stock level maintained.
Could anyone share their experience regarding this? Am I missing some additional setting?
Inputs are highly appreciated!
rgds/Jay

Dear Jayprakash ,
If the requirement is that you have to replenish upto a certain stock level then instead of maintaining the Max Stock level you can simply maintain
SB : Safety stock from product master
and in the Safety stock field maintain the quantity as desired ( in this case 20000 ) . This probably will solve the problem in your case . You may not require to maintain Max stock level .
Target stock level in heuristics also works fine with the following settings
make sure you maintain
Target stock level method as =5
In Maximum Stock level = maintain the quantity desired ( 20000 in your case say )
do not maintain any safety stock method keep it blank .
then location heuristics generates PR according to the the maximum stock level.
If still it is not working plz let me know what other settings you are maintaining probably we will find a way out .
Hope it helps .
Thanks

What is Formula for 'BS' Method of Extended Safety Stock Planning ?

Hello SNP Experts,
I have a Important Question regarding Extended Safety Stock Planning Calculation in SNP Module.
I have read the SCM Help, SDN Forums and SNP Training Course help, but am unable to find the Formula to Calculate Safety Stocks using the Beta Service Level (Method 'BS') for the Extended Safety Stock Planning Methods.
Reading the help, training material, past SDN Questions I do understand the Standard Formula for Safety Stock is ...
S.S = ServiceLevel x SQRT (ReplLeadTime) x StdDevDemand
However there are Factors like below that are definable in the Location-Product Master ...
1. Forecast Error %
2. Replenishement Lead Time Error %
3. Min & Max Safety Stock Levels
4. Beta Service Level
5. Max. Stock Level
How are these Factors used ? What is the Formula using these Parameters to Calculate the Safety Stock ? The Calculation in SCM-APO is not clear from anywhere.
I am specifically interested in the Method "BS".
Can anyone Guide me ? Points Guaranteed if a reply covers the exact question above (I have done some research before raising this question on Forum).
Regards,
Ambrish Mathur

Harish,
I'd seen these forums already. Thanks for responding.
This 'secretive' calculation is quite annoying. If SAP does not Publish any documentation around the Formula, how can the Customer be convinced to use SAP's Safety Stock Calculations (no wonder many SAP Customers are going the 'ToolsGroup' way of Safety Stock Calculations).
On Safety Factor (I saw in your notes) I am aware that
a factor of 2.33 equates to 98.6% service Level from long back based on Normal Distribution. The Formula as known much earlier is this ...
SS = SafetyFact x SQRT (RepLeadTime) x StdDevDemand.
based on Normal Distribution.
However there are new Fields in APO since ...
Is there no documentation whatsoever on how the 2 Fields - 1. Forecast Error %
2. Replenishement Lead Time Error %
are used at all in the SS Calculation ?
Where do these New MasterData Parameters Plug-in ?
The other change now is in SS Planning, the SSs could be different for each Time Bucket in Future. How does Beta Service Level also impact the Calculation ?
Is there a URL / Book someone can point me to ?

Ambrish

Replenishment random storage -TO is not being created

Hello,
Fixed Bin replenishment
I am implementing the same above process for random storage.I have configured everything as mentioned above and made sure the stock is available for replenishment.For some reason the Replenishment TO not being created during the picking confirmation.
My random storage is SU managed.This storage type needs to be replenished from an open storage which is not SU managed. Is there any probem in the pelletization during the TO creation? Did i do something wrong having the random storage as SU managed?
Please suggest..

Hi Pranath,
Check the following (masterdata):
- the material must created for the replen st as well
- enter your max bin qty, min bin qty, round qty, replen qty
Chek the following config:
- Define Stock Transfers & Replenishment control
- Define Replenishment Control for Storage Type - Make sure you have "Replen Method" = 2. Did you specify a replen movement type? If not, I would suggest this...keeps everything tidy.
I remember from my initial testing that it didn't work, because my stock level was already below my min stock level. I added stock to my ST and moved it out again (with LT10 for testing) to a different ST. The replen TO was created automatically.
Let me know how it goes.

How to combine 3 Plan methods?

Hi: Everybody
Can you tell me how to combine 3 Plan methods?
Reorder point, Replenish to maximum stock level, and "PD" plan type.
Users want sap automatically generate PR when stock is lower reorder point, and automaticlly replenish to maximum stock level. inaddition, this material is component of finish goods, so it also can run "PD" planning.
via my test, PR gerenated either by reorder point or "PD" planning. But the methods can't be used together.
Everybody can direct me how to do?
Thanks
Henry

Hi:Partha
I have retest your solution, that's ok for save this customized MRP type via your suggested profiles.
however, this "external requirements" just focus on customets requirements such as sales order. I don't need to create sales order for it. its customer requirements is from its parent not itself.
so, when I create a sales order for its parent, sap cann't automaticaly PR for it even if its stock is zero.
by the way, reorder point is OK for the customized MRP type.
Thanks
Henry

For some reason when , Its not creating the Automatic transfer orders.
Please advise..

Hi,
I think, you are missing "A" indicator at the movement type level and at the storage type level. Please check.
