Requirement Strategy: 10 Anonymous make-to stock production

Dear Guru,
I'm trying to test the requirement strategy 10 - Anonymous make-to stock production and I'd expect that the good issue should consume the forecast as explained in the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/e6/28dadc939241469dd64f0eb925f328/content.htm
"SAP APO delivers standard requirement strategies:
10 Anonymous make-to stock production
In this strategy no consumption takes place. The planned independent requirements are reduced when the goods issue is posted in SAP R/3
I have create a sales orders in R/3, I have the Integration model properly configured (sales orders and requirement reduction are flagged) but when I post good issue the forecast is not reduced.
I have changed the master data to the strategy "20 Planning with final assembly", and in that case, the forecast is reduced either by sales orders and by good issues.
In customizing I have the same category group for both the requirement strategies.
Any idea how can I consume the forecast only at good issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards
A.M.

Dear Mantione,
The allocation indicator in R/3 and assignment mode in APO should definitely be same, then only consumption will happen. Please see the check mode in APO and requirements class in R/3 also. Usually 50 will be used for requirements class, but it is a general rule that for consumption to happen requirements class and allocation indicator(in R/3) should match with check mode and assignment mode respectively(in APO) along with the consumption mode and related strategies.
You can check the consulting note 159937 for the prerequisites for consumption to take place.
So i kindly request you to maintain similar settings and re-test your issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Nithin.

MRP for Make to Stock Production 10 Strategy

Dear All,
I am using strategy 10. But when i run MRP system also creates plan order for sales order too. Guide me where i am missing something

check the procurement tab in sale order
whats your requirement type ?
is it KSL, if not select the KSL from drill down.

Requirement strategy : PIR reduction with Production Order GR

Hello,
I'd like to manage in APO a requirement strategy reduced by Goods receipts of production order.
I'v tried to manage a specific strategy but I don't know wich Category Group setted in the customizing.
Could you help to:
- first confirm that we could reduce the PIR with GR from a production order?
- Then which category or category group should I select ?
thank you for your help
Renaud

Hi Renaud,
Below you have the strategies that are supported by APO. For your requirement you have to create a new strategy in APO that support your needs. The steps are described in my first replay. I don't think that you will find exactly the same logic that you have in ECC but something similar yes. In APO we can't do moving type!
For example you can modify strategy 10 and change the category group to FP1 (production fixed). So, it's clear that you will have in stock the quantity of the confirmed pl.order!
Thanks, Marius

Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion.

Hello..
Please explain Make to order / Make to Stock / Make to production. Scenarion in details with examples.
David.

Dear David
Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
You can use make-to-order production:
For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured
When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order
Choose a make-to-stock strategy, if:
The materials are not segregated. In other words, they are not assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs need to be tracked at material level, and not at sales order level.
You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future. This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.
This does not mean that you have unreasonably high stock levels. You can avoid them by doing one of the following:
Create a production plan in advance (in Demand Management) to plan your stock.
If you make use of this option, you may also want to decide whether sales orders exceeding your plan are to affect production or not.
Receive sales orders relatively early on (using scheduling agreements, for example).
thanks

Business scenario for product costing make to stock in pharma

Hello sap gurus,
how to explain the business scenario of make to stock product costing. did any one explain about this.

Configurable material with make to stock

Hi,
My scenario is like final products Distemper red 1kg, distemper red 5kg and 10kg like this.But Sales order will be Distemper red 1000kg.Based upon the availability of stock customer will get 5kg,10kg Depending upon the pack, price also differs depends upon the pack.
In RG1 register they are updating only Distemper red total stock.
If i go for variant configuration i should create distemper as variant and all finished material as normal and variant should be assigned(distemper red) in mrp 3 view.
Moreover planning also done for only distemper red while packing they will go for different quantity.
For Configurable material PIR can't be done.
So how to proceed further, what about RG1 resister it should not update all pack wise only distemper red total quantity.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Hi,
As BNR said you need to work with Material Variants for having Variant Configuration with Make to Stock.
Pls. find the helpful details for maintaining Material Variants :
Maintaining Material Master Records for Variants
Prerequisites
A configurable material exists, for which you create a material variant. The configurable material
has all the necessary settings in the configuration profile, class assignment, dependencies, and
so on.
Procedure
1. From the material master menu, choose Material   Create general   Immediately.
Enter a material number, an industry sector, and a material type for materials kept in
stock.
You must process the following views:
Basic Data*
Sales Data*
MRP Data*
For material variants, you maintain the usual material master data, such as
availability check, strategy groups, and so on. This documentation describes the data
that you need to maintain specifically for material variants.
2. Maintain the required basic data.
Do not select Material is configurable for a material variant.
In the basic data, you can link the material variant to a configurable material. This
configuration applies to all plants. To manufacture the material variant in-house, you
must maintain the variant at plant level, so that BOMs, routings, and so on can be
determined. Cross-plant variants can be used in Purchasing, but are not supported in
Sales.
3. Maintain the sales data.
You can only use the variant in sales orders if you maintain sales data for the variant.
4. In the MRP data, enter a configurable material for configuring the variant at plant level.
5. Choose Configure variant.
You see the value assignment screen with the characteristics of the configurable
material.
Configure the variant.
6. Once you have maintained all the data, save your material variant.
Bill of Material (BOM)
To do a requirements explosion for a configured material, you must maintain the data in the
material master record and link a BOM to the configured material.
If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link
is already there.
You can either create a BOM especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy from
function) or allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product. The second
option is the more common solution.
If you allocate the configured material to the BOM for the configurable product, the BOM for the
configurable product is interpreted and exploded according to the characteristic values assigned.
The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions and the setting of field values in
BOM items according to the relevant actions.
Allocating a Configured Material to a BOM
To allocate the configured material to the BOM of the configurable product, proceed as follows:
1. From the bills of material menu, choose Bills of material   Material BOM   Alloc. config.
mat.   Create.
2. Enter the name of your configured material in the Material field.
You see a screen on which your configured material is shown as the first allocation.
Select the allocation and choose the All allocs for BOM function to see all the materials
allocated to this BOM.
3. Save your allocation.
Task List
To produce a configured material, you need to allocate a task list to the configurable material
once you have created the material master.
If the material of the material variant is the same as the configurable material, the link
is already there.
You can either create a task list especially for the configured material (perhaps using the copy
from function) or allocate the configured material to the task list for the configurable product in the
task list maintenance function. The second option is the more common solution. If you allocate
the configured material to the task list for the configurable product, the task list for the
configurable product is interpreted and exploded in the production order according to the
characteristic values assigned. The interpretation includes the processing of selection conditions
in the operations or activities, sub-operations, sequences of operations, and production
resources/tools (PRTs).
Allocating a Task List to a Configured Material
To allocate the configured material to the task list of the configurable material, proceed as
follows:
1. From the routings menu, choose Routings   Routing   Change.
2. Enter the number of the configurable material.
3. Choose Goto   Overview.
4. Choose Routing   Material allocation   New entries and enter the number of the
configured material you want to allocate to the task list.
5. Save your allocation.
Creating Cross-Plant Material Variants
Use
For material variants that are procured externally, you can define the assignment to a
configurable material in the basic data of the material master, because no plant-specific data
needs to be determined for these variants.
Procedure
1. In the material master menu, choose Material   Create (General)   Immediately.
Enter a material number, an industry sector, and a material type for materials kept in
stock.
Select the views that you want to process.
2. Maintain the required basic data.
Do not select Material is configurable for a material variant.
3. Under Client-specific configuration, enter the configurable material of which you are
creating a variant.
4. Choose Configure variant.
You see the value assignment screen with the characteristics of the configurable
material.
Configure the variant.
5. Once you have maintained all the data, save your material variant.
Result
The variant can be entered in a purchase order. The configuration of the variant is copied from
the material master.
Cross-plant material variants can be used in Purchasing. However, they are not
supported in Sales.
Strategies for Variants
Definition
Low Variance
This section describes how to plan products that have a practical limited number of possible
combinations of characteristics and characteristic values. Technically speaking this section
describes the use of variants to sell configurable materials.
Variants can be used to facilitate the work with configurable materials. Variants of a configurable
material are, for example, defined to prefabricate frequently required configurations and place
them in stock, which is why variants were formerly called stockable types.
For some configurable materials, it may be difficult to determine the variants of a configurable
material. To use the strategies for variants effectively you must have an estimate of future
consumption for each variant.
If the configuration is not changed during the Sales Order stage, production can occur at the
Production Before Sales Order stage. Then the customers must purchase the variants as they
are or as they were planned. The benefit is that the products can be shipped immediately to the
customers, if they are in stock.
Make to Stock Production for Variants
Variants can be planned on the finished product level using any make-to-stock strategy, such as
Planning with Final Assembly (40) or Net Requirements Planning (10)
The planning of variants with make-to-stock strategies combines the advantages of make-tostock
production (very short delivery time) with the advantages of variant configuration (one BOM
and one routing for a whole product family).
Make to Order Production for Variants
Variants can be planned on the finished product level using any make-to-order strategy, such as
Planning w/o Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60)
The planning of variants with make-to-order strategies combines the advantages of make-toorder
production (planning without final assembly or cost tracking on the sales order level) with
the advantages of variant configuration (one BOM and one routing for a whole product family).
Integration
Hope this helps.

Tejas

MAKE TO ORDER AND MAKE TO STOCK notes
Make to order Scenario
1. Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
2. You can use make-to-order production: (a) For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured (b) When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order.
3. Stock keeping is not usually carried out for products that are made to order. In companies using make-to-order production, the demand program only determines the production area, in which various variant types are produced. Depending on how you track the costs associated with make-to-order production, there are two ways to process make-to-order items during sales order processing.
(a) Make to order using sales order
(b) Make to order using project system (not relevant for SD application)
4. for make to order production using the sales order, all costs and revenues involved for an order item are held collectively at that item. A particular rule is used that can be changed manually to transfer costs to profitability analysis.
5. make to order production is largely a production planning configuration. It is also controlled by the requirements type, which is determined by three things
the strategy group (MRP 3) in MMR
the MRP group (MRP1) in MMR
the item category and MRP type (MRP 1)
6. Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group (MRP1) and the strategy group (MRP3) in the material master record. In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.

Make-To-Stock Production:
Purpose
we describe the planning of a product for make-to-stock production. After requirements planning, you analyze the stock situation and convert a planned order into a production order. You also enter a sales order that is not relevant to the planning. The production order is then released and saved. After the material withdrawals and confirmation of the operations, you analyze the production variances. The sales order is delivered and settled.

Dif bet make to order and make to stock

hi
 what is diffrence bet make to order and make to stock , who impleming this in real time
regards
shivaji

Dear Shivaji
1) MTO
You can use repetitive manufacturing as sales-order-oriented production. The system generates one or more planned orders that have a direct link to the sales order item. The material is manufactured on the basis of these planned orders. The manufacturing process is therefore initiated by sales orders.
If you are using a valuated sales order stock in sales-order-oriented repetitive manufacturing, you create a product cost collector for the individual requirements material (the material that is manufactured for the sales order stock). The costs incurred in the production of the individual requirements material are collected on this product cost collector. The costs can then be analyzed on the product cost collector. You use the functions of Product Cost by Period.
In sales-order-oriented repetitive manufacturing, the sales order stocks are usually valuated. This scenario is used in the automotive industry, for example. The production of each vehicle is triggered by a sales order (or by a sales order item). The costs incurred for each particular vehicle are only of secondary importance. Instead, the focus is on period-based analysis of the costs for all vehicles manufactured during a particular period, whose costs are collected on the same product cost collector. The costs are not collected and analyzed separately for each sales order item.
2) MTS
Choose a make-to-stock strategy, if:
 --> The materials are not segregated. In other words, they are not assigned to specific sales orders.
 --> Costs need to be tracked at material level, and not at sales order level.
You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future.
This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.
This does not mean that you have unreasonably high stock levels. You can avoid them by doing one of the following:
 => Create a production plan in advance (in Demand Management) to plan your stock.
 If you make use of this option, you may also want to decide whether sales orders exceeding your plan are to affect production or not.

REPORT MAKE TO STOCK MATERIALS

HI Dear Experts:
We are having some problems with "make to stock" products, because the supplly of this type of material is not in time so I want to track the supply of them.
I hope you can help me with some transanction to make it .
Regards

LN,
I assume you are saying you would like to know which MTS materials are scheduled such that they will not meet the date of the requirement (e.g., sales order or dependent requirement).
If you are using MRP, general purpose MD06 (collective display of MRP lists) will do this.
MD06, enter plant. Optionally enter controller. Select Exceptions groups tab. For your particular issue, select exception group 7, deselect all others. Optionally, select other tabs, enter settings to refine the selection so you only get the materials that you wish to see. Execute.
You will be presented with a list of materials that generated 'rescheduling' messages during the most recent MRP run. Select Find (binoculars). Select Find exceptions. For you, you are interested in the orders that have message 10 "Bring Process forward" This means any supply element that needs to be 'pulled in', e.g. moved to an earlier date, to meet the requirement. Green check "find exceptions'.
You will be returned to the list, and all the materials which have the message 10 will be highlighted. Select 'glasses Selected MRP list". You will be transported to the MD05 MRP list for the first highlighted material. Perform your required planning. When completed with that material, select the small right arrow on the left hand side of the Icon row, which will take you to the next material which has the message 10.. Continue until material list is fully processed.

Planning strategy for Both scenario of Make to order and make to stock

Hi
My client having Both scenario of Make to order and make to stock ,so please explain me step by step which Planning strategy is use for following situation
1.Forecast the production quantities for the variants and create the PIRs
2.sales order is created for variants
3.Planned independent requirements should consumed by incoming sales orders
Note:If it is MTO scenario i need sales order reference number in production order
With regards
Laxmipathi

Hi,
You can Define Strategy Group under SPRO>Production>Prod.Planning>PIR>Planning strategy-->define st.Group.
In this step, you group strategies together into a strategy group. You can determine a main strategy as well as up to seven alternative strategies.
The main strategy is proposed in demand management or in sales order management and can be overwritten by another planning strategy defined in the strategy group.
You can allocate the strategy groups to the materials directly in the material master record, or you can allocate the strategy groups to an MRP group and then in a second step allocate the MRP group to the material in the material master record.
Hope it will help you.

Mukesh

Hi
K-Mat Creation steps
1) Create Char in CT04 with assignment of Control indicators and Char values
2) Create Class in CL02 with type 300 and assign the Char to it
3) Assign this class to Material in Classification view in MM02
4) Create Configuration Profile in CU41 and Main Profiles for PP & SD relevancy
5) Assign Constraints and Procedures to Each Profile as per the rules required by design or Business
6) Create a Configurable Material (Mat type - KMAT) with Classification,Sales,MRP,Accounting views and Planning stg 25
7) Create A Super BOM(for K-mat) and assign all the comp with Proper Selection & Pre conditions
8)Create Super Routing(For K-mat) and Assign all operations with Proper Selection
Material Variant(MV) Creation Steps(Material variants are the stockable items in VC Scenario)
1) Create a MV with Material type FERT and Stg 10 or 40 (Classification view not essential)
2) Assign the K-mat material to this MV in Basic data - 2 view in Cross Plant CM field and click on Configure variant tab to select the fixed char value combination for this MV. Do the same steps in MRP-III view
By this way u can make the stock of configure items

Make to Order & Make to Stock - Hybrid strategy

Dear colleagues, Have any of you set up a mixed manufacturing strategy where the top level in Bills of Materials is driven by 'Make to Order' with hard pegging between sales orders and production orders, and as you down in the bills of material, we want to promote more of a Make to stock philosophy where there is no hard pegging between sales orders and production orders. Our structure is a multi level ( 5 levels) BOM with the intermediates being assemblies or subassemblies.
Have you come across this type of situation in your experience ? If yes, what approach / strategies have you adopted before? What are the unique settings that you may have used to drive the above strategy?
Regards,
Pavan

Rajesh, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it.
Here are a couple of other questions.
Do you have situations, where the top level MTO may be driving MTO at assembly level, which is driving a MTS at sub assembly level?
Any thoughts on how you have enforced the pegging with sales orders at BOM levels below the FGs will be helpful.
regards,
Pavan

Make to stock planning for a finished product with variant attributes

Hello All,
I have one finished product with different characteristics like color and sizes, I have to create demand for the same finished product
and to define different characteristics but should get one planned order for each combination of characteristics. Can anybody suggest how to create demand in make to stock situation.

Hi ,
Try using "Planning with Planning Material' .
1: Define Planning material ( which is never produced) & it's BOM with only common assemblies( Finished product specific assmblies should not be added here)
2: Create Finished products seperately & assign planning material to Finished products. Finished product BOM should contain common assemblies & Variant assemblies
2:Enter Planned independent req for planning material & run MRP , it will generate procurement of it's common componenets
3: SO for Finished product reduces PIR of planning material & triggers Final assembly.
4: Planning with planning material should be 60 strategy . it must be entered in both planning material & Finsihed goods.
This is possible with make -to stock as seperate Finished goods are created for each combinatin of color & sizes.
Hope it helps,
Jatin

Production Order link to Many Sales order in Make to Stock

Hi
We ve Make to Stock Scenario ,
We club Sales order & manually create one Production order
how to link one Production order to many sales order
After production confirmation How to transfer stock to Sales order stock

Dear,
In make to stock you cannot have a direct link between production order and sales order.
In your situation why are you clubing many sales orders and creating a production order?
that means you donot have planning cycle in place i.e. Demand management--> MRP?
If planning is not implimented, then you can create a production orders manually as you mentioned.
You can use the exit PPCO0006 to create many extra fields in production order header in a seperate tab and can use this fields to fill the sales orders so that you can have a link. this is onky for information purpose.
Once you have produced the product you can use 412 movement type special stock - E in MB1b transaction to transfer the stock from unrestrcuted to sales order specific stock
pl come back if you need more information
