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!

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

  • Use of max stock level w/o lot size HB

    hello champs..
    need  a help on below functionality
    Can I have the functionlity of max stock level without using "lot size - HB" in material master.
    my requirement..tht system should not create any procurement proposal if stock reachs at max level..
    but with this i am using min lot size also..and this functionality got vanish if I use "lot size=HB" ..system dont see min or max lot size..it just create the proc proposal for the qty upto max stock level..
    my requirement
    for a material max stock level -100
    min lot size - 50  , max lot size 80
    and if my stock is 30 ,and my reuirement is for 80..system should not cross the max stock level and should create the prc proposal for 70 only..
    pl share your thoughts on this..I'll appriciate wih necessary reward points..

    Hi
    thanks for reply..but i am not sure whther w/o using HB max stock level will be considered or not..
    i yet have to test the same but as per SAP , if you want t maintain themax stock level in the plant , lot size should be EX
    is this undertsnding is okie..

  • Max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic

    Hi Experts,
    Our user wants to consider max stock level as safety stock from material master while running SNP Heuristic, not the actual safety stock.
    Is there any possibility for this setup?
    --Kishore

    Hi Kishore,
    With the given details I suggest that the user can maintain the max stock level values directly in safety stock field of the material master for all materials to be planned by SNP heuristic (keeping the max stock level field blank). Then this safety stock field (which has actually the max stock level values) will update the safety stock values in APO product master and in turn can be considered for SNP heuristic.
    Note: The max stock level field in APO product master is used by SNP heuristic only when the target stock level method is maintained as 4, 5 or 6. Since your requirement is to use max stock level as safety stock, so it does not look like that you will be using these target stock level methods or the max stock level field in R/3 and APO. So, this can be left as blank in both R/3 and APO.
    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Max stock level and reorder point for all the materials

    Dear experts,
    Is there any standard mm report that will give the details of max stock level and reorder point details for all the materials?

    Your requirement can be pulled from table MARC. I dont think there is a standard report to meet your requirement. You can meet your requirement through SAP Query though.

  • Some Purchase Requistions are not being replanned during SNP Heuristics

    Hi All,
    Has anyone experienced any issue with purchase requisitions not being replanned during the SNP heuristics run (background or interactive). I have a product location combination and about half of the PRs are not being replanned and these are not fixed/firmed.  When I say replannned I mean that they are not generating a new Purchase req. #. I have no idea why at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rumi

    Rumi,
    we faced a ismilar issue and figured out that the issue was due to the change in MoT for the Preq. The earlier Preqs were created with MoT 'Ship' which was then changed to 'Plane'. When we ran the heuristic the Preqs created with Ship were not recreated. This is a standard SAP APO behaviour.
    I am sure that after deleting these preqs all subsequent runs would be working fine for you.
    Nxet time if it happens consider what I have said, it could be a possible reason.

  • Vb type in house production with controls on Max stock level, considering -

    Dear friends,
    Please think of possible solution to map the follwing scenario,
    my client having vb tpe scenario for in house mfg product, As the it reaches to re-order level it generates planned order ,
    eg mrp type -vb, reorder point-200 ,min lot size -150 and max lot size 500,
    and Max stock level - 1500   and his lotsize -EX,
    here after creation of planned order he wants a control , that when it is converted to process order , in change mode , he should able to change the order qty  in such way that , it   Need to consider open process orders and Available Stock
    (Unrestricted & Quality) also in same Plant
    e.g. Max Stock Lvl is 500 Unrestricted Stock 100 Quality Stock 50 open
    ProcOrder is 200. If user trying to change ProcOrd 250 it should allow
    to change ProcOrdr of 150 only.
    please sugeest how to set the controls.

    Hi Dhar,
    In av. check scope (OPJJ), include the stocks which you wish to consider eg: quality insp. stock etc in addition to unrestricted stock. The system will then create planned orders only for the needed items.
    If user tries to change the qty of the order to more than required, MD04 will show an exception message. Hope this meets your need.

  • Maxi stock level

    Hi all
    How we can calclutate the manimum stock level for the materials tht we maintained in the mateial master mrp 1.
    oh which basic we can calculate the maxi stocklevel. is this is system maitnain automatically.
    2. what is mean by Takt Time in material master mrp 1 . pls explain me. how we can use this .

    You use the lot-sizing procedure Replenishment up to maximum stock level if you want to fill the stock up to the highest possible level or if you can only store a certain quantity of a material due to the container size. This applies to a tank, for example. The capacity of the tank determines the maximum stock level.
    Takt time (Used in fixed lot size with splitting & overlapping) - You can determine whether a fixed or period lot size is divided into partial quantities and that these are to be produced at regular intervals that overlap each other.
    This lot-sizing procedure is very useful if the actual requirement quantities that occur in the period or the quantity to be produced for a certain date are very large but production is only laid out for smaller quantities.
    In fixed lot size with splitting & overlapping you have to maintain the Takt time field for the period of time that the procurement proposals are to overlap.
    Hope its clear.

  • Report  from system on different stock levels-min, max stock levels

    hI gURUS,
    Is there any Standard Report  from  SAP system to see on different stock levels-minIMUM stock, maximum stock levels

    Hi,
    MMBE will not give stock level min and max  that is maintained in material master MRP view. I think you need to make a z report for th same or may be through query.

  • Do not consider the stock onhand during SNP.

    Hi APO specialists.
    I'd like to run SNP plan that do not consider the stock onhand.
    Material A is purchase item. and the forecast of material A has 400 qty.
    and stock onhand is 200 qty.
    But I want to make the purchase request as 400 qty.
    How to ?
    Anyone who has the solution can reply this question.
    Thank you all.

    Hi,
    Try following in separate planning book by copying standard planning book.
    In a macro for stock balance change the step for calculation of stock on hand projected. In this step remove the function of INITIAL_STOCK.

  • WORK FLOW & PROCEDURE FOR FOR SNP CAPACITY LEVELLING HEURISTICS RUN

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    Currently, we are  taking  only SNP Heuristics Run  and the output viz. planned stock transfer requisitions are being passed to PPDS as such. But now we feel, SNP capacity leveling can play a vital role in getting more fine tuned results from PPDS. So, We wants to start using the SNP Capacity leveling run. We shall like to know the work flow / procedure for taking the SNP capacity level run i.e. what inputs should be properly reviewed before taking the SNP capacity level run and what shall  be its output..? Kindly let us know the procedure / work flow for taking the SNP Capacity Levelling Run.
    Your early reply in this regard shall be really appreciable.
    Thanks & Best Regards,

    Hi Sanjeev,
    as in any other module, correct master will play a key role in getting effective results in capacity levelling. you will need to check the following master data while setting the system for capacity levelling :
    Consistency in BOM in R/3 and PPM/PDS
    Consistency in Routing in R/3 and PPM/PDS - the actual through put on the shop floor should be the same as that in the routing and in the PPM/PDS. unless this is in sync, no amount of levelling can return good results.
    Maintenance of shift - again as present in the shop floor.
    you can provide the dump of the above master data and ask the shop floor engineers to validate the data as it exists in the ssytem. you can do the consistency check between R/3 and APO yourself using queries. Once they have validated this master data and the the actual master data reflects in your system, i think, the job is more than 50 % complete.
    also you need to check the lot sizes, rounding profiles, and period factor, becasue all three combined play a major role in giving good or better results after levelling.
    you may also check at what level you want to run the levelling. whther the bottleneck is at the finished component level, or 2nd level, etc. you may check whther you have discrete manufacuring or REM and if you really want to levelling on REM order.
    then you need to analyse, what is the lengh of horizon you want to run the capacity leveling on. sometimes it makes no sense to run on the entire horizon because if capcities are already overlaoded, you will not achieve the desired results.
    hence depending upon the level of your understanding and comfort of the planner (who will be using this result), the horizon can be increased grdually.
    if you are starting to implemement capcity levelling, you can sumulate runs and show the results to the planner and check if the standard capacity heursitics satisfies their requirement. else you can go for custom requirement.
    you will also have to decide on the stratagies, priorities,etc based on the business requirement.
    i think the above should give some starting direction to implement capcaity levelling in your system.
    award points if you find this useful.

  • Target Days Supply in SNP Heuristics and Deployment

    Dear Experts,
    Does the Target Days supply only define the minimum and not the maximum stock levels?
    Example: consider a Period P1
    The target dayu2019s supply is 20 days, and the Days Supply in Period P1 is more than 20 (suppose 35)
    The Total Demand in that week is not big enough to bring the Days supply < 20
    Question:
    Does the system still create a Distribution Reciept (Planned) in this case and keeps increasing the day's supply of dest location? Or does it create stock transfers only if Days Supply is threatening to fall below the Target Days Supply?
    In other words:
    Does Target Days Supply only come into picture when Days Supply < Target Days Supply, in which case the system adds the difference (Target Stock Level u2013 Current Stock Level) to total demand while creating stock transfers.
    When Days Supply is >> Target Days Supply, does the SNP Heuristic still create a Stock Transfer even though there is enough stock to cater to the current total demand and not fall below Target Stock?
    Hope you can help in understanding this concept.
    Regards,
    Rimjhim

    Thanks for your reply.
    Please correct if I have misunderstood:
    While calculating the net requirement during SNP Heuristic run, the system will apply Target Stock Level into consideration and will only create a Pur Req if the stock is falling below the Target stock.
    Thanks,
    Rimjhim

  • Maximum Lot Size & Maximum Stock Level

    Hi All,
    In MRP 1 view we have Max Lot Size & Max Stock level, how the system give me requirement if i'm maintaining these fields.

    Hi Ashok,
    If you mainatain Max lot size system will check for this qty & it will not allow to generate PR or planned order more than this qty in MRP run & Max stock level is the stock for replinshment where lot size if replinishing.

  • Max Stock & Good Receipt Time with Optimizer

    Hello,
    We are attempting to use the optimizer to maintain a max stock level (Max Stock = 750 ) constraint at a location. We are also using a Good Receipt time (Good Receipt = 1 day) for this location/product. Currently when we execute the optimizer (discrete) the system is exceeding our max stock value we have maintained in the product master because of the Goods Receipt Time.
    For example on 09/15 we have an on hand quantity of 200 units. On 09/16 we have demand for 200 units, bringing our on hand quantity to 0 units. On 09/17 we have a receipt of 950 units to fulfill the demand of 200 units and bring our stock up to maximum level, resulting in a stock on hand quantity of 750 units for this day, which is our maximum stock level for each day.
    However, the receipt of 950 units on 09/17 is in reality received at the location on 09/16, because only one-day transport time is defined. Utilization of Goods Receipt Time is causing us to go over our max stock of 750 units defined. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    I would assume max stock level to be a softer constraint compared with meeting the demand on time. Can you confirm what would have happened had you received 950 units one day later, say by decreasing the GR days to 0 ? If the receipt date were pushed out without violating the max the stock level, I would conclude the max soft level to be a soft constraint.
    Also check the result when GR time is 2 days.
    I would also experiment with keeping inital stock on hand beyond the max stock level and watch it fall below max stock level before calling any receipts.

  • Target Stock Level ( Method 1 -  Time Dependent) in SNP

    Hi Guys,
    I am not able to use the Target Stock level method 1 ( Time Dependent Target Stock level method ) in SNP heuristics. Ideally if I assign the above target stock method for a particular Product Liocation combination, I should get he keyfigure row ' Target Day's Supply' editable when I open the planning book  and select the above Product Location combination in the shuffler, by which I can manually enter the target day's supply for any bucket. But I am getting it greyed out and not editable.
    Pls help.
    Thanks
    Ameet

    I am hoping you have ensured that in planning book design the key figure is defined as editable. Make sure that while designing the planning book, you copy the SAP standard planning book while configuring the target stock level method.

  • Reorder Point Planning via SNP heuristics based on ACTUAL stock

    Hi All,
    In R/3 there is the option in reorder point planning to take into account external requirements (MRP type V1) or not to take into account external requirements (VB). When using reorder point planning in APO SNP Heuristics, the reorder point is being determined in time based on the PROJECTED stock (so taking into account external requirements) so the result is the same as in R/3 when using MRP type V1. In the future horizon, everytime the projected stock goes below the reorder point, a replenishment is triggerd via a planned order or purchase requisition.
    I would like to know if (and how) it is possible to perform reorder point planning in APO SNP via heuristics (can be location or network) only taking into account the ACTUAL stock (and no external requirements in the past or in the future). So, the same behavior as the MRP type VB in R/3. The difference is that only on the short term, 1 time replenishment is triggered (via planned order or purchase requisition) if the current stock is below the reorder point.
    Remarks: this needs to be able to be set product specific, because not all products at the location will need to use this logic.
    Any help or thoughts for a solution direction (preferably without programming or user exits) are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dennis

    If you really just want a pure re-order point scenario based on current stock, I'd suppose that you'd want to create a new data view and modify the total demand macro so that it doesn't generate any sort of future requirements (total demand will essentially be zero).  Then the reorder point will be the only thing driving planning when compared to the initial bucket SOH, which is presumably calculated through the standard macro and according to the stock cat. group you indicate in the location/product master.
    You could set some specific filter in the material master using the MATLOC freely definable attributes to create selection profiles and govern in which data view you process the planning for certain materials.  That is to say, you'd assign all materials which are pure current stock ROP and tag them with some attribute and use that to create selections for your Heuristic variants.
