Safety stock coverage by Planned order

Dear all,
when I set the static safety stock for material w/o any other requirement in the MD04 and run MRP, system will generate Planned order to cover the safety stock. Safety stock availability for MRP is set to 0 (that´s correct in this case)
It´s expected by my customer, when there are no requirements (reservations, sales orders etc.) system will not generate any Planned order even if there is a "shortage" caused by the safety stock.
Does anybody have an experience with this?
Example in MD04:
Stock 100
Safety stock -101
Available stock -1.
No requirement.
=> System should not create any Planned order.
Thanks for answers.
Regards,
Martin Valcik

Hi,
You may try by defining safety stock availabilty ( in terms %) for a plant + Mrp group in IMG setting.
menu path for ur reference :
Material Requirement Planning
   |_ Planning
         |_ MRP Calculation
                  |_ Stocks
                          |_  Define Safety Stock Availability
Here you define the percentage of the safety stock to be available for planning. This function is used to avoid a situation where order proposals are created unnecessarily by the system to cover small shortage quantities.
Hope this is useful,
Regards

  • Is there any way  plan safety stock  at subcontractor in MRP ?

    When the stock is at vendor ( material provided to vendor)
    and if we wanted keep safety stock at vendor by  entering safety qty in material master .After MRP run system ignores and planes addition requirements which is unwanted .Is there any way to fix for this issue ?

    Define Safety Stock Availability                                                                               
    In this step, you define the percentage of the safety stock to be                          
         available for planning. This function is used to avoid a situation where                   
         orders proposals are created unnecessarily by the system to cover small                    
         shortage quantities.                                                                               
    In MRP, the system usually carries out the lot-size calculation for every                  
         shortage and creates an appropriate order proposal or - if already                         
         available - a firm receipt with a rescheduling proposal.                                                                               
    However, it does not always make sense for a new order proposal to be                      
         created for every small shortage. These order proposals must all be                        
         managed, converted, placed in stock and settled. If you want to save                       
         yourself this effort, you can make a portion of the safety stock                           
         available for planning. This has the following consequences:                               
         o  An order proposal is not created until the stock level has fallen                       
            below the safety stock available for planning                                           
         o  If the shortage exceeds the portion of safety stock available for                       
            planning, then the system creates an order proposal in the planning                     
            run that covers this requirement and that also replenishes the safety                   
            stock.                                                                               
    o  The portion of the safety stock available for planning can only be                      
            determined using the MRP group. Therefore, to determine that a certain                  
            percentage of the safety stock of a particular material is to be                        
            available for planning, this material must have been given the                          
            appropriate MRP group in the material master record.

  • BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 creating planned order from Restricted Stock

    Hi,
       We have a requirement where we need to programmatically replicate the Push Production functionality as in /SAPAPO/RRP3 transaction. We are using the BAPI - BAPI_MOSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 and it is working fine for conversion of planned orders and Process Orders to component planned/process orders and dependant demand for the parent material. The issue is when we are trying to convert a restricted stock to a planned order and dependant demand using the BAPI, we are getting a message "No valid source of supply could be found". Please let us know if anyone has a resolution to this issue or if any further details are required.

    Hi,
        Tlane is not a field name,I wanted to say Transportation Lane(T-Lane) exist or not in the system for that product-location combination.
    For the SOURCE_NAME field, it is clearly mentioned in the documentation of BAPI that,
    Selection of sources of supply (for example, PP/DS PPM)
    ORDER_END_DATE is used as standard as the selection time for the source of supply (in-house production). If ORDER_END_DATE is empty, the value from ORDER_START_DATE is used instead.
    If a different time should be used to select the source of supply, this can be set using the EXPLOSION_DATE field.
    If a date field is not specified for an order change, the date of the last explosion of this order is used for source of supply selection.
    The entries in the MASTER<...> fields also play a role for source determination. That is, possible sources of supply are searched for on the basis of product, location, quantity, and so on.
    For the selection of sources of supply, the setting from the product master for plan explosion is used.
    If several possible alternative sources of supply are found, the system chooses one source of supply as standard.
    However, if you want to select a specific source of supply that has been found, you can use the fields PLAN_NUMBER + PPM_NUMBER, PROD_VERSION, or SOURCE_NAME. Note that only one combination may be used; you cannot use both PLAN_NUMBER and PROD_VERSION at the same time because both are valid for different source of supply types.
    Please check with the functional consultant, in plan explosion field in product master what value they have maintained.
    Because BAPI will try to get the source of supply name on basis of that field which is mentioned in the documentation.

  • Only create planned order if no stock

    Experts,
    I want to setup MTO environment with possible delivery from stock. If I use strategy 20 (MTO) the system always generates planned orders even if there is stock, with strategy 10 (MTS) no planned orders are created.
    Flow:
    - when sales order is created and there is no stock --> MRP generates planned order
    - when sales order is created in stock is available --> no planned order should be generated by MRP
    I tried to make a new strategy but can't find settings to make our flow possible. Has anyone experience? I guess this is a situation faced in many companies.
    Reward points if helpful answer.
    Thanks,
    jan

    Hi,
    I'm not totally sure this is the only strategy suitable for you, maybe you can examine this pdf material:

  • Planned Order for stock and planned order for customer requirement

    Hello everybody
    I want to make a different, in MD04,   between the planned order for stock and the planned order created for a customer requirement
    Thank for your help

    Hi,
    True planned order are generated for both the cases but the planned order generated for sales order will have sales order number in the below column and for stock will show independent requirement. Mainly no sales order reference will be there for make to stock scenario.
    Hope it will help.

  • MTS-Planned orders generated even in stock

    Hi Experts,
    My strategy is 10 for semi finsisehd goods (Make to Stock), planned orders are getting generated in spite of having the stock. I've maitintained 02 in avaliabilty check.
    Can anybody throw some idea on this ?
    regards
    Ram Kumar

    Hi
    Planned order will be generated accoding to your PIRs.if PIRs are there and your strategy is 10 then system will consider stock for net requirement and accodingly generate planned order. and if your strategy is 11 then system will not consider stock for generating planned order against PIR
    Kindly check PIRs for the material and then revert back

  • Automatic Safety Stock

    Hi Experts,
    Currently MRP type is PD & Planning is make to order for finished goods.
    I have requirement, wanted system to calculate safety stock automatically based on consumption value for Raw material.
    Material should be further Planned in the same way, But if stock falls below safety stock , it creates a Purchase requistion.
    System should calculate the safety stock rather than Manually entered.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vivek Kumar

    Hi Robert,
    I don't know whether this will suffice your requirements, but actually it sounds like "Dynamic Range of Coverage".
    It is like you want to keep the stock of certain materials as safety stock (coverage of requirements in exigencies) for certain number of days, weeks etc.
    For example, one material has got average consumption (depenedent on main requirement of parent materials) requirements of 50 pc. per day and you want to keep a supply of 3 days in hand to cover unforeseen reqmnts, then based on this consumption pattern system will automatically calculate 50 * 3 = 150 pc. extra as safety stock, often called Dynamic Safety Stock.
    As & when the main requirements change for parent materials, the depenedent requirement also changes, and hence the dynamic safety stock. For example, if the demand has increased such that average consumption per day comes out to be 80 pc., then calculation of safety stock will be 80 * 3 = 240 pc. extra (as you always want to cover 3 days requirements).
    If this is your requirement, then try configuring this feature by creating suitable profiles for Range of coverage (depending on certain groups of materials, like for some you want to get coverage for 2 days, some for 5 days, some for 1 day and so on). And assign the suitable profile to corresponding material master. This will work with normal PD type of MRP without any tweaking.
    Reply whether it worked for you.

  • Independent requirements within dynamic safety stock policy

    Hi Community,
    I was wondering if we can setup a dynamic safety stock (coverage profile) without using consumption based forecasting? Our forecast is provided through the SCM DP. If yes, which MRP type should we use?
    Many thanks for any feedback,
    Noël

    Hi Noel
    Yes, it is possible to use a coverage profile without consumption based forecasting. You can use an MRP type with MRP procedure, such as PD.
    See my answer on the following thread for more details about the coverage profile logic on MRP:

  • Safety Stock Calculation Setups

    Hi,
    Question 1:_
    I created a buy item with the safety stock details as below
    Method : MRP Planned %
    Bucket days : 2
    Percent : 100
    Also i enabled the MSO: Default Timestamp Safety Stocks to End of Day (23:59).After running the collection plan (Targeted Refresh) my msc_system_items table looks as below
    SAFETY_STOCK_CODE : 1
    SAFETY_STOCK_BUCKET_DAYS : Nill
    SAFETY_STOCK_PERCENT : Nill
    and then msc_safety_stocks is also empty.
    Please help me to solve the issue.
    Question 2:*
    what setups should i do to create the safety stock in my plan other than checking the calculate safety stock in plan option.Aslo what plan should i run (constrained or unconstrained)???
    Note : we done have inventory optimization installed.

    Hi Sandeep,
    I tried the generating safety stock.I succeeded too..Thanks for the help.But i need your help again for the analysis.
    I created a Buy item and i havent mentioned a LT for it.
    For safety stock calculation,i mentioned
    safety stock Buket days : 2
    safety stock percentage : 100
    Forecast was 100qty every day from 4/May to 9/May ..
    Output was as below
    29/Apr/2012 Forecast = 0 Saf.Stock = 76
    30/Apr/2012 Forecast =300 Saf.Stock = 100
    5/May/2012 Forecast =300 Saf.Stock = 73
    14/May/2012 Forecast = 0 Saf.Stock = 24
    As per the calculation
    ( 200/2) * 100% = 100 qty which is matching the qty in 30/Apr bucket.
    I need to know how was the other buckets got calculated.

  • Auto-release Planned Orders is not creating WIP job after zero on-hand (i.e. Level Below  safety stock)

    Hi
    The time release fence in defined at item level as 1 day also safety stock level is defined in inventory safety stock form.
    Once MRP launch it should create the discrete job against item as zero onhand for that item but MRP workbench is showing planned order for the item instead of creating item.

  • Forecasting Based Planning with Dynamic Safety stock Calculation?

    Hi Guys:
    Based on the client requirement we are going with forecast based planning i.e based on Sales historical data , rather then buyer determining how much amount of safety stock need to be maintained ,
    Can system calculate/propose safety stock based on lead time and service levels set for that particular material?.
    how to load historical sales data into the system before go Live , so when they run MRP Run ( using forecast based Planning ) -> Planning orders>PO are triggered? or is there any alternative ?
    Thanks
    Sweth.

    Hi.
    Range of coverage profile in material master MRP2 view
    The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.
    Use
    The dynamic safety stock is calculated depending on the requirements within a specified period and the range of coverage.
    Dependencies
    The range of coverage profiles (period length for calculating the average consumption, range of coverage, and so on) are maintained in Customizing in the MRP screen.

  • Safety stock not covered by schedule lines in planning run

    Hi !
    In our organization we are trying to implement scheduling agreements and automatic creation of delivery schedule lines through MRP. We have MRP type PD and it considers the reservations created by PM orders and Production orders as requirement elements. When I do the planning run, it creates schedule lines for the PM order reservations and purchase requisition for safety stock. I need it to create schedule lines for all scenarios. Kindly help and suggest a solution.

  • Sufficient stock but MRP create planned order and purchase requisition .

    Hi Expert,
    After MRP run planned order and purchase requisition created . but the problem is for child material sufficient is there but still PR and plnd order is created .
    MRP type PD, LOT size EX,Strategy group 10, for testing purpose I made safety stock 0, min lot size 0 , max lot size 0.
    I cant find the cause why MRP create PR and Pland order for the material which has sufficient stock. Please help.

    Dear Anirban
    could you check the following master data value:
    Lot size -> MB Monthly ( only for test)
    Rounding value -> null
    Strategy 40 MTS.
    You can try with this setting in order to figure out what is the problem.
    You can check also orizzon planning and re-scheduling (set to 999).
    Let me know if i have been useful for you

  • Suppression of Re-Order Point Safety Stock Exception Messages

    Hi There!
    Hope someone can help!?
    I need to be able to suppress MRP Exception Message 96 - Qty Under Safety Stock but for PD Only.
    Is this possible?
    Cheers,
    Karl

    Hi There!
    We have lots of Raw materials controlled by MRP Type PD, which have Safety Stock Value.
    However, quite often although the actual stock is lower than the Safety stock Planners have lots of messages (96 - Below safety stocks). However, although Purchase order reciepts may be late, there isn't actually a problem. As When the PO Reciepts actually happen there is enough stock to satisfy actual demand.
    We would like to put many of these Raw materials on Re-Order Point Planning, and manage. But we would like to ignore the (96 - Below Safety Stock) for Normal Items.
    Hence, Planners have exception messages for REAL Priorities.
    Hope this explains all!
    Cheers,
    Karl

  • Safety Stock Planning not completing - /n/SAPAPO/MSDP_SB T-Code

    While running Safety Stock Planning (/n/SAPAPO/MSDP_SB transaction) in SCM for products at a particular location, the system hangs and never completes the process.  The message at the bottom is u201CDetermining Demand Information: <location> <product>u201D.  This process works fine when running on any product at another location. 
    In order to avoid the above infinite/endless loops, in the Safety Stock Planning Profile, the checkbox for Execute Cycle Test was selected.   While this did resolve the endless loop that the program was running, it now results in an error.. Now, it gives an error message "Cycle found for product <product> at location <location>".
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply....it was really helpful.
    We verified T-Lanes by using t-code WUF. There was transportation lane between location 6000 and location 6010 and vice -versa with all products selected. So, we put a block on all products on one T-Lane.
    Thanks.
