Safety stock requirement generation

Hi,
We are using report /SAPAPO/RRP_SR_ATP_GENERATE to generate safety stock requirement.
This report calls up the SAP standard heuristic SAP_PP_018 which has the BADI /SAPAPO/RRP_SFTY_STK (BAdI for Safety Stock Heuristic)
The scenario and requirement is -
1. The safety stock element should be a custom category (SR is standard). No issue here. This is configured and the requirement element gets generated with custom category after running the report.
2. This element is included in relevant GATP scope of checks.
3. The issue is - if some one runs the report with standard ATP category SR in selection this demand element replaces the element with custom category which can be seen in product view. So as I understand at any given point in time there will be only one ATP category which will exist as far as safety stock is concerned.
4. What we want is the Safety Stock requirement element with custom ATP category should be separated out so when someone run the report with SR it will create an additional element.
What is the behavior/use of SR requirement element in other modules like SNP/PPDS.
Thanks in advance,
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,
When Method UPDATE_IO_NODES from BAdI /SAPAPO/RRP_SFTY_STK is called, you can see the already existing safety stock requirements in internal table CT_OLD_REQ.
Additionally, you can see the new or changed safety stock requirements in CT_ORDER_METHOD.
Those entries in CT_OLD_REQ which do not contain a corresponding entry in CT_ORDER_METHOD are always deleted in standard are the Safety Stock Requirements that will be deleted.
In order to prevent this, a possibility is to delete the requested entries from CT_OLD_REQ.

Safety stock calculation

Hi all,
1. How the system calculates the Safety stock requirement for the raw materials?
Requirement is,
I am doing monthly production planning for the FG materials. And i want to keep all the raw materials stock as 15, 30 and 45 days stock as safety stock of the respective FG BOM raw materials. Bu the safety stock requirement for the each raw material is different.
How to get the safety stock requirement quantity for the required raw materials?
Actually I tried with coverage profile and the safety time / range of coverage in the MRP 2. But I did not any results. i think I may be wrong ,when I am working with coverage profile and safety time / range of coverage.
Please suggest me the appropriate solution for the above requirement.
Example,
Month     April
FG Material (XYZ)     1000
BOM for XYZ
Component     Qty     stock
RM1     2     100
RM2     1     150
RM3     1.5     500
As per the BOM the actually requirement for the RM1, 2, 3 are 1900, 850 and 1000 respectively.
I want to maintain the safety stock of the raw materials for RM1 for 15 days, RM 2 for 30days and RM3 for 45 days stock based on the gross requirement qty. So my total requirement as per the safety stock requirements is as below said, for the raw materials like,
RM1 is 2000(gross requirement qty) +1000 (safety stock requirement for 15 days) -100 (available stock) =2900
RM2 is 1000(gross requirement qty) +1000 (safety stock requirement for 30 days) -150 (available stock) =1850
RM3 is 1500(gross requirement qty) +2250 (safety stock requirement for 45 days) -500 (available stock) =3250
How to get the above explained requirement quantities for the raw materials like RM1,2,3.

Safety Stock Not Being Released To Cover New Sales Orders Or Forecast

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to get safety stock at the lower levels of the BOM to get released for upper level sales order or forecast demand without having to adjust the effectively out to a future date?
Example:
A = Finish goods item with two weeks lead time
B= component of A and it has two weeks lead time
C= component of B and has 10 weeks lead time.
Have safety stock hard coded with an effective date of today for 100,000 units.
I have 100,000 in inventory and I have planned orders to cover all my demands and future safety stock requirements for the next ten weeks.
I receive a new sales order for 50,000 units with a customer request date five weeks out.
I am getting ATP dates to assign to the new sales order 14 weeks out versus allowing me to use 50,000 units from the safety stock to schedule in week five?
Even If I schedule the sales order for five weeks, because I have gone down two levels to confirm that I have safety stock, and It could be used, planned orders would not get generated at the next two levels, because the demand date on the safety stock is earlier than the demand date for the new order?
Is there any resolution that anyone has found that addresses this issue?
We have set a demand priority rule on the ASCP plan options tab to "Sales Order Priority" where we have set criteria for number one to "Sales Orders & MDS Entries Priority" and number two to "Schedule Date".
We have found that adjusting the supply and demand dates out to cover the full 14 week period does reduce the safety stock at the lower levels, but it also creates additional starts and inventory to be put into the line, which makes this approach not feasible.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? We do not build safety stock for the sake of building safety stock. We want it to be used for any sales order or forecast demand that comes within the planning horizon.
Appreciate any inputs.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Try this note suggestion, possibly help you in resolving your issue.
How to Avoid Getting Safety Stock Replenishment Too Early in an ASCP Plan [ID 301629.1]
In order to line up the safety stock supply with the changes in safety stock, a combination of the profiles must be used:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes
and the plan option
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority is checked.
The profile MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes will perform the following:
For all demands and supplies, it proceeds item by item and
pegs supplies to demands on a daily basis. Daily supplies
and demands are not sorted. When supplies or demands
on a given date are used up, it picks from supplies or
demands on the next date. The unpegged supplies are
pegged to excess.
The peg supplies by demand priority combined with the profile above will prevent the system to plan ahead for safety stock.
Also no safety stock smoothing is setup.
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Please set the profile:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes and
2. Under the plan settings in the main tab the set the following options:
Enable Pegging ON
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority ON

Dynamic Safety stock calculation based on Future Requirements

Dear All PP experts
Our company wants to calculate the Dynamic Safety stock based on requirements in future period. Based on Standard SAP, it calculates dynamic stock based on current period only. So is there any way to do that. We are using MRP type PD.

Use MRP type VM(Automatic reorder point plng) for Dynamic safety stock calculation.
Also you can use coverage profile calculating dynamic safety stock.
Use Tcode OMIA to define the coverage profile.
For example if you have defined a minimum range of coverage of 3 days, a maximum range of coverage
of 7 days and a target range of coverage of 5 days.
The system calculates the following:
Minimum stock level = 3 x 15 pieces = 45 pieces
Maximum stock level = 7 x 15 pieces = 105 pieces
Target stock level = 5 x 15 pieces = 75 pieces
The available quantity is 40 pieces and is therefore less than the minimum stock level. Therefore, the system creates a procurement proposal for 35 pieces (= target stock level 75 pieces u2013 actual quantity of 40 pieces) during the planning run.

Mrp requirement qty including safety stock

I have tested and got results as follows with VB/EX:
RO Point = 10 ea
Safety stock = 5 ea
Stock = 5 ea
But the mrp element generated for 5 ea only.
I need to get requirment qty considering the safety stock also.
HOW TO INCLUDE SAFETY STOCK IN REQUIREMENT QTY?
warm regards
marias

Hi,
the safety stock is relevant when you are carrying out goods issues.
the system will stop you from placing orders against the safety stock (because you don't want to sell this you want to keep it for emergencies) and yet it will allow you to goods issue to a delivery from safety stock (because that is why it is there, to ensure that you have spare items in case of shortages).
You control what can and can't issue safety stock by using different configurations for the availability checks for each function..
So even though the reorder point MRP seems to ignore safety stock it still warns you when you fall below this (with an exception message) and it is still used for goods issues and transfers etc.

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 available for Consumption of Requirement arising from SO (MTO)

Hi PP Gurus,
I have a MTO (make to order scenario). For a certain raw material (Material A), I have maintained a Stock of (e.g.) 100 pcs. However when an SO (sales order) for a finished good (material B) (MTO) is created, a requirement of 2 pcs is created for Material A.
The problem is, when i check MD04 stock requirement list for Material A, the system doesn't recognize the exisiting stock 100pcs. The line item for the SO requirement is CustSt 0.000 . Thus, after MRP the system creates a PR (purchase requisition for Material A)
which based on the stock, it should not.
I would really appreicate if someone can help me.
Thank you,
Heinrick Palad

Dear,
Check the "Selection method" field in MRP4 view for the FG.
u2022If you select individual requirement then system will not consider available stock and generate Proposals for every single requirments.
If you select collective requirement then system will not generate planing proposals through MD50.In that case you have to go for individual MRP (MD02 / MD03 / MD41 / MD42).
Please run MD02 and check your result.

Availability Check required without "Safety Stock"

Hi,
I have a fert material "FG' whose prodn order i am creating.
This FG has a child Component "RM"
Available Stock for RM = 20
Safety Stock for RM =     20
No Receipts / No Reservations exists for RM.
I want the production order not to consider SAFETY STOCK. Hence in OPJJ i removed the Tick "Include Safety Stock".
When i create production order, as per the above setting, it should show " Material Avaliable", but instead it is showing Material Shortage.
Plz guide.
Thanks in advance,

Report for Reorder point, safety stock, current stock and fixed lot size

Hi,
Purchasing Dept. is looking for a report which can give list of materials falling below the reorder point, so that they can go ahead and create procurement proposals for those materials.
They also want to see the Reorder Point, Safety Stock, current stock and fixed lot size in the same report.
Let me know if there ia any standard report availbale which displays the same or any approach to get the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shankar Goud.

Hi,
There is no standard report because this is meant to be managed by the MRP run.
The MRP lists show all materials that have a problem (such as stock below reorderpoint) but MRP generates requirements for these anyway and so all you need to do is to look for the MRP generated requirements (requisitions?) and you have your list?
Are you using MRP?
If so then please use the standard functions in MRP to get this.
If not, then WHY NOT?

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.

Satya

Hi,

Stock on hand vs stock required from Scheduling agreement from MRP not MD04

Hi SAP Guru's,
1.Currently on 4.6C and client requires a report to view similar to MD04 with capability of multiple materials and vendors and way of summarizing the future requirements and current receipts?
Right now with MD04 we can see for one material current and future Scheduling aggrements(SA) but does not have a report to tell how many are past due (other than going back to look at SA to view cummulative qty).
2.Curretly MRP PD is using SA aggrements for the semi-finished mateirals for planning and maintaining Safety stock and Goods receipt date in Material master to control the schedules? as system generated SA quantities vary with high differences - for example weekly requirement for material A is 480 parts from Vendor A and Vendor delivers on plaaning cycle Tue and Thurs and daily end of the day 65-85 Production orders are confirmed and backflush happens and then MRP runs but instead of 240 per schedule it is splitting 360 once and 220 etc i mean the quantities are very high fluctations and vendor cannot delivery these variation of quantities ? needs your input where the issue is happening and also client want to use Reorder point Qty instead which is not in use currently.
Appreciates everyone time and your help.
Thanks and Regards,

No planning file entry for safety stock

hello!
i do not have a planning file entry for safety stock. my material has required safety stock and no quantity on plant stock. therefore MD01 should create a purchase requisition - but is does not. i do not have an entry in the planning file as well.
any ideas what could be the reason?
thanks!
matthias

Hi,
- First of all check whether MRP is activated or not for Perticuller Plant.T.code is OMDU.
- Which MRP type is maintained for that material?
- In rare cases (Materials uploaded by LSMW using Badi) it is observed that system miss to make the entry in Planing File.So better will be set a Back Ground job to activate Planing file OMD0 or make manual entry using T.code MD20.

Dynamic update of safety stock in SAP R/3 systems (ECC 5.0 version)

Hi Friends,
Forgive my newness to SAP. Let me explain the problem i am facing in SAP. I want to identify the parameters to dynamically update the finished goods safety stock for each depot by SKU wise.
Current process :- Safety stock is calculated manually and updated by using Transaction code MS02 in the system.
It would be highly useful if i know the flow in SAP system and how the current process can be changed?
If more info is required i'm ready to give.
Thanks in advance

Hi Mario Adler,
Thanks a ton for ur answer.
Will it update safety stock for finished goods in each depot by SKU wise? Raw material safety stock isn't my concern.
project description : Manufacturer of chemical goods , 70+ products,350 skus
Distribution : factory to depot (bulk volume)
Mother go-down to depot(Stock transfer)
No of depots :33,factory:3,mother go-down -1
Sales forecasting is done in excel for every month and updated to SAP via BAPI. After that DRP,MRP and other runs takes place.
What are all the areas i need to touch in to get the parameters to update the safety stock?
Regards
Arasu
