SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

Hi Experts,
I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing
3) Manufacturing Execution u2013 Collective Planned Order Conversion, Combined Order Confirmations
4) Batch Determination/Classification for SAP Apparel and Footwear
5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
Thanks,

Hi Ronny,
Thanks for the reply!
These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
/Cheers

Sap afs sd

Scenario is as below:
Our client is in apparels and footwears and have there overseas operation also:
I am doing configuration with the logic that as follows:
Client is doing exports as according to the requirements from the
overseas customers and also there are domestic customers.
Now I am utilising the functionalities like season, material grids and
category structure as below.
SEASON: OFF SEASON,ON SEASON
MATERIAL GRID: NL,XL,XXL (NL NORMAL,,XL EXTRA LARGE,XXL : DOUBLE EXTRA LG)
CATEGORY STRUCTURE : REQUIREMENT CATEGORIES,STOCK CATEGORIES
Product A off season (export-sale) material grids whichever is
applicable or demanded by client customers. As product is, off season
I am using requirement categories and for allocation run i am using
coverage stategy with characteristics as QUALITY,SEASON AND PRODUCT.
I am using Make to order strategy for off season material which would
be export sales ,and make to stock strategy for on season materials
which would be domestic sales.
(path:img-logistic general-afs categories-define coverage strategy)
Now the problems I am facing is system is giving me message "invalid
input" after maintaining coverage strategy parameters ie: such like
category value,allocation run requirements etc.
Now if the above scenario perhaps clear to you,Could you please let me
know where i am going against system(sap afs sd).
Also if possible let me know certain config documents pertaining to
order scheduling,allocation run,delivery and billing
Thanks And Regards

Kapil,
goto define coverage stratergy ->Select your stratergy ->double click on coverage stratergy on left side it will display category structure ->again select the same and double click on Arun/MRP/... option on left side there you should mention Stock category and MRP-Mod tab.
"The MRP module controls the assignment of the requirement categories to the stock categories. Module M1 uses a strategy where all batches of stock, purchase requisitions and purchase orders which are available on the requested delivery date (sales order) and assigned to the stock category, will be used to satisfy the requirement"
and i would suggest you to check each and every tab in structure and stratergy both you might have missed something.
try and revert.
hope its helpful to you.

SAP AFS and SAP ECC

Hi,
As I understand AFS offers additional functionalities required for Apparel industry but does it take away or restricts standard ECC functionalities.
What If an organization is into 2 businesses i.e. Garments and FMCG, can they still go ahead and use SAP AFS for both businesses? Is there an impact on Master data, logistics related processes, Financial reporting etc?
Business processes and dynamics in terms of planning, transactions and reporting are quite different for Apparel and FMCG businesses. I am new to AFS and would request experts to guide me on such a solution proposal.
Please share your views.
Thank You
Manish

Hello Vishal,
Thanks for the information.
What about version management of ECC and AFS? I mean with release on a new enhancement pack of ECC, certain new business functionalities are offered...but with AFS being active, will it not mean that the customer has to wait till the add-on of AFS is also made compatible?
Just the way you mentioned about PP-PI issue... are there any other business functionalities that get impacted? I did come across a message posted where it is stated that free goods functionality is not available with AFS being activated.
Is there any official document from SAP on how AFS activation restricts ECC functionalities...like the one of PP-PI you mentioned?
Thanks
Manish

Will MIM (Merchandize and inventory management) work with SAP AFS / SAP POS

We are implementing SAP AFS ERP at the head office and SAP POS at the retail stores.
We want to implement the MIM module for inventory management at retail store level. Does MIM work in conjunction with SAP AFS. A consultant was suggesting that MIM works only with SAP Retail and no other vertical SAP solution.
Can someone please clarify?
Regards
paddy

MIM is linked to IS Retail, not to AFS.
Nevertheless, you can always link and AFS and a Retail system. SAP provides a very convincing ALE scheme for this.

Hi
How can i bring the Grid value ( Field J_3ASIZE ) in the report MB5T for particular STO in SAP-AFS industry solution.
I tried in the layout but there are no such fields to bring in !!
Help me out swiftly.
cheers
Maruthi
Edited by: MARUTHI RAM on Apr 15, 2009 1:53 AM

Dear Maruthi,
MB5T will not give grid details but ME2W will give grid details. Please enable AFS details for the scope of list in customizing for ME2W scope of lost
MM --> ME2W
You can create consolidated report using the 2 reports MB5T and Me2W. MB5T give PO with in transit stock and ME2W will give PO with grid details.
I hope this clarifies.

Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS

Hi,
Can you diffrentiate between Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS.
thanks
Aki

Hi Aki,
Direct Procurement
Raw Material and Production Goods
Order Qty: Large
Value: Industry specific (Like shirt in apparel industry)
Direct procurement supports the conversion of planned requirements to purchase orders.
Primary Processes-Direct Procurement
1. Determination of the materials and services required.
2. Create requisition.
3. Request for the quotation.
4. Quotation Management.
5. Vendor selection.
6. Create Purchase Order.
7. Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
8. Invoice Verification/ Vendor Payment.
Indirect Procurement
Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies
Order Qty: Low
Value: Generic (Machine Spare Parts in any industry)
Indirect procurement supports the purchasing of indirect materials and subcontracting.
This process can be dealt with using standard functions such as material requirements planning, purchase requisition, stock transport order, transportation planning and the handling of internal deliveries.
The cross-plant, internal procurement of materials can be carried out within one company code (intercompany) or by using several company codes (cross company).
Primary Processes-Indirect Procurement
1. Requisitioning
2. Purchase Order Management
3. Receiving
4. Financial Settlement
Hope it helps.

How to handle "bulk orders" in SAP AFS ?

Hi experts,
do some of you know how to manage in SAP AFS the so-called bulk orders also known as "promises to buy" ?
I heard about the chance to use a SD contract: if this is the case which type of contract I am supposed to use ? How this contract is treated by the ARUN ? Is it MRP relevant ?
Thanks in advance.
Karlinga.

Don't believe this is possible without a manual process linked to it.
The only solution I see for now is that you first only release the TR that need to go to your follow-up system, import them, then perform the manual actions and then release the subsequent TRs, etc...
Same issue is popping-up when using XI Transports, as each TR has a Change List that needs to be activated. If two TRs within the same maintenance cycle contain the same object, the second TR will fail because the change list for that object is not yet activated. A manual process can solve the issue. At our project, we introduced a new user status for this.
Best regards,
Roel

MM configurations for SAP AFS System

Hi,
        I'm working in MM configuration for SAP AFS production system, After uploading AFS Materials successfully and also created Purchase order to make a stock for that material, but PO created successfully but not able to do Goods receipts for created PO.
       Errors : Purchase order xxxxx has no items,
Once created sales order for the same material again we got the error while GR but error is different.
      GR is not possible for this PO number.
But material type is ROH , and its external procurement only.
Please let me know when we will get this type of errors.
Thanks and regards
Nisar.

Hi Nasir;
Some possible causes are;
1.     Defining inbound delivery (Or kind of a confirmation) in the PO LI level and not maintaining the document subsequently
2.     Not releasing the PO before the GRN
3.     Creating the PO with a material with Grids (AFS Basic Data Screen) and not maintaining the grid value at item detail level of the PO
