SAP PP- Planning with Planning Material(60)u201D

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls explain the Strategy u201C Planning with Planning Material(60)u201D and pls give any examples if possible.
Thanks in advance

Dear,
This planning strategy is particularly useful for planning BOMs that contain variant as well as non-variable parts.
This trategy allows you to plan the variants of one product. The term variant indicates "similar" parts; which implies a much higher number of variants. With this strategy, for example, you can easily exchange a component in all similar BOMs.
For Strategy 60 , Availablity check is carried out "Check against planned independent requirements" , inthat case Only planned independent requirements are taken into accout and Confirming. There is no ATP check logic.
Please refer thislink,

New Products Lunch - Planning with Planning Material

Hello All
WE Plan we planning material (strg 63).
Each finish good is assigned to a planning material and in each planning material we maintain parameters like consumption mode and consumption periods.
For products current in production this strategy works fine, but for new finish goods that are not yet in production the ,confirmation is a challenge.
Imagine a planning material that contain both types of materials, in production and a new materials that start production in month 3.
The consumption indicator is 2 (backwards and foreword) and the backward consumption period is 30 days.
if you enter a sales order today and if planning allow he gets confirmed for today even thou production only start in month 3.
Any advice to make sure SAP only confirms after the 3 month even thou planning exists before? and how to make sure that only the planning that is maintained after the production start is considered even thou the backword consumption is define to look back
any comment / suggestion is appreciated
Thanks

hi
In Planning with planning material Planning material means if there is a material which determines the profitability of the company or which is of great importance to the company.
The planning strategy "Planning with planning material" is particularly useful if you have several
finished products with the same main assemblies.
Here, you define a planning material which contains the common assembly and its BOMs.
The planning run is carried out for the planning material which triggers the production and
procurement of the planning material's components.
The sales order for a finished product which refers to the planning material reduces the planned
independent requirements of the planning material and simultaneously triggers final assembly.
When processing the sales order, you can check whether the planned independent requirements
quantities cover the demand (that is, the availability check as a check against the planned
independent requirements).
In the material master record of the planning material, you must enter strategy 60, the consumption
mode and the consumption periods. In the material master records which refer to the planning
material, you must enter the planning material as a reference and strategy 60. The consumption
periods are calculated starting from the planned independent requirements of the planning material.

Planning with planning material

Hi All,
I am working on the make to stock scenario where I am working on the strategy 63(planning with planning material).
As per scenario once I entered the sales order for variant material it should consume the PIR of the planning material but it did not happen with my case. I maintained the necessary master data for both the material like consumption parameters for planning material, strategy group 63 for both the materials, planning material for the variant material and individual and collective indicator for both materials but it didn't work.
Can you please provide me the reason why it is not happening?
Thanks in advance
Lalit

hi
The system finds requirements type VSEV because the strategy group has been set to 63.
See the Table of Planning Strategy Assignments.
The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics -> Production -> MRP-> Evaluations ->Stock/reqmts list) displays the information for the planning material.
The planned orders are not yet "real," because the variant product cannot be produced until after receipt of the sales order. Technically speaking, the planned orders have order type (VP). It is impossible to convert these (VP) planned orders into production orders, or to use them in a repetitive manufacturing environment. The Conversion field in the display of the planned order is not set, which indicates that it is not possible to produce this planned order.
The MRP run also creates procurement requisitions for the components
The main objective of this strategy has now been reached: procurement for the components has been triggered, even without sales orders, based on the sales forecast from Demand Management only. Procurement of the components can occur in a variety of ways. Here we are assuming that a goods receipt (for a purchase order, for example) takes place.
A sales order for a variant material is entered
· Suppose that, for this example, an order with a quantity of 90 pieces is entered with a required delivery date of today. This order can be confirmed after the first planned independent requirement date
· The consumption parameters have been maintained correctly ( Consumption mode, Bwd consumption per., Fwd consumption per.) in the planning material.
· This date and the planned independent requirements can be found.
For more information, see Consumption Strategies and Logic.

Planning with configurable material

Hello All,
We are using a Configurable material and i have a question about the configurable material. The Configurable FERT material should be a MTO and all the configured components should be MTS. I want to enter the forecast for the components in Md61 and put them in stock and the requirement from the Configurable finished good should consume the PIRs. can anyone tell me what strategies i should use at each level. Thanks in Advance.

Hello
I have tried above suggestion, but they did not work. The sub assemblies (variant components) are not being consumed by the Fert level requirement. It is creating Another new requirement, it is not consuming the PIRS for the sub assemblies. Can someone suggest me what to do here.

Hi,
I work with SAP BC some time ago... I remember that you configure the connection in SM59 / SICF and the server open a port to "listen" (connect external).
So, your external program can execute functions inside SAP and exchange data.
See some links:

Time phased planning with planned orders

I'm trying to get time-phased planning (MRP) to generate planned orders after the lead-time up to the planning horizon. I cannot get this to work so perhaps I should explain the scenario to see if this is possible. (This is all finished goods procurement, no manufacturing).
Scenario:
I have a DC in the US which gets supplied from a DC in the UK on a 4 week lead-time. MRP runs every week and generates a purchase requisition (converted to STO which gets picked and issued etc).
The DC in the UK gets supplied from vendors on average 3 month lead-time. I get forecast requirements from UK and EMEA regions (stores) and want to also have planned orders from the US DC so that the MRP run on the UK DC will add the total requirements together and give me vendor orders.
As you can see from the lead-times a single STO from the US DC doesn't give me demand over the total 4 month lead-time which means the UK DC doesn't order enough. If I could get planned orders to generate then it would all come together (simple DRP model?)
At the moment I'm working round it by running "PD" MRP first on the US DC and then changing the RP type and running time-phased MRP to get a single STO but this isn't perfect and means I have to run it manually every Sunday. (Also the logic is not quite the same between both methods).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
many thanks
Marcus

Hi,
I'm using a copy of the R1 MRP type with the only change being that the "RP ind. forecast" configuration is set to G so that forecasts are included in the requirements calculation. I only have forecast values going out to the planning horizon so they need to be relevant.
I have planning and delivery cycles maintained along with lead times and goods receipt times also but no planned order generation.
Is there somewhere else I should check?
thanks!

SAP PP-Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level witho

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls explain the Strategy u201C Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level without final Assembly (74)u201D and pls give any examples if possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Planning at Assembly Level (70)
Purpose
This planning strategy is particularly useful for manufacturers of products with variants if a more
reliable forecast can be produced for certain assemblies than for the multitude of product
variants.
Prerequisites
You must maintain the master data of the assembly as follows:
Strategy group 70 on the MRP screen.
Set the indicator for assembly planning, the Mixed MRP indicator, to 1 on the MRP
screen.
Consumption parameters (Consumption mode, Bwd consumption, Fwd consumption on
the MRP screen) to allow for consumption of planned independent requirements.
If you are using this strategy in a make-to-stock environment, you also must set the
Individual/coll. indicator to 2 on the MRP screen.
Reduction
Consumption
This strategy is very similar to Planning with Final Assembly (40) However, planned
independent requirements are consumed by production order requirements (or schedule lines in
repetitive manufacturing) and not to requirements of sales orders.
1. Stock for the assembly usually exists.
2. Planned independent requirements are entered at assembly level. Procurement (planned
by means of the planned independent requirements) is therefore triggered before the
production order stage (or schedule line in repetitive manufacturing).
3. The planned orders for the assembly/components are convertible.
4. Procurement smoothing according to order demand is possible. In this strategy,
however, the ability to react flexibly to customer requirements is more important.
5. An accurate availability check is performed according to ATP logic during production
order processing.
6. Requirements from production orders (or schedule lines) are passed on to production
and can lead to changes to procurement after the sales order stage, if the order
quantities exceed the planned independent requirement quantities. However the order
quantities cannot be confirmed if there is insufficient coverage of components. The
system automatically adjusts the master plan. For more information see Coping with
Insufficient Coverage of Components .
7. The planned independent requirements are consumed during the production stage. This
means that you can compare the planned independent requirements situation with the
actual order requirements.
Unconsumed planned independent requirement quantities increase the warehouse stock of the
component, and cause procurement to be decreased or not to take place at all in the next period.
This procedure is called "netting."
Sample Scenario: Strategy 70
Process Flow
This example is based on a production plan in which 100 pieces are planned for <reqdat1>,
<reqdat2>, and <reqdat1>.
Stage 1: Demand Management
1.In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as follows for the
production plan.
Period indicator Reqmts date Planned qty Value
T (= day) <reqdat1> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat2> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat3> 100 10,000.00
The system will find requirements type VSFB because the strategy group has been set
to 70.
2. The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics
Production   MRP   Evaluations   Stock/reqmts list) displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100 -
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 200 -
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 300 -
Stage 2: Procurement Before Use in Production
1. A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run (Logistics   Production   MRP
Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> PlOrd. 123/STCK 100 100
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat2> PlOrd. 124/STCK 100 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
This procurement requisition is the starting point for production or external procurement.
You have a variety of options for handling the procurement process in the R/3 System.
One possibility would be to convert the planned order into a production order, release of
the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible,
however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.
2. After goods receipt for the order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/SDeb 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Stage 3: Production Order and Allocation
A production order that uses the planned component is created (Logistics   Production
Production control   Order   Create).
An availability check is performed in the order (Component   Availability   Check availability).
In this example, it is assumed that production is 50 pieces of the material and the
material has an in-house production time of zero.
A popup appears containing the following information:
Requirements date <today>
Requirements quantity 50
Availability check (checking group) 02
ATP quantity 200
Confirmation date <today>
Confirmation quantity 50
This availability check is always performed according to ATP logic. See Availability Check [Page
157].
The production order quantity, which is not visible in the production order, is allocated to the
component quantity. You can, however, control the allocation in the stock/requirements list or in
the total requirements list. The total requirements list displays the following information:
Requirements type Date Allocated quantity Total quantity
VSFB 300
<reqdat1> 100
RESE <reqdat1> 50
<today> 50
<reqdat2> 100
<reqdat3> 100
After creation of the production order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<today> OrdRes SZ-10 50 - 150
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Any parent material that consists of this component is automatically allocated to this plan. In
practice, there are several header materials (like SZ-10 in this example) that allocate this
material.
Stage 4: Procurement After Production
This does not apply to this strategy.
Stage 5: Goods Issue for Production Order
After goods issue for the production order (Logistics   Materials management   Inventory
management   Goods movement   Goods issue), the stock/requirements list displays the
following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 150
< reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Hope this helps.

Tejas

Creating a planned order with error "Material requires configuration"

Dear All,
I am facing a problem for creation of a planned order with error "Material requires configuration".
To follow the note 180317, I change Account Assignment Category to "U" (Unknown).
However, the system still does display the same error.
Could you please help provide possible solution for this?

Production Order GR with Planned Price

Dear All,
We are using following steps for production order=
1) Create BOM, for Semifinished material with Price control = "S"
2) Create Roting, with all Keys PP01, PP02 and PP03 with Material allocation to respective steps
3) Standard Cost Estimation using CK11N and CK24
4) Create Production order using CO10 with Material and WBS Element.
5) Material issue against Reservation. But the material may be changed after releasing prodction order first time. And Actual issue for the BOM material may be more or less in qty.
6) Final confirmation with completion of last phase confirmation of production order.
7) Production Order TECO
8) Prodction Order Settlement using KO88
Now my problem is while I am doing final confirmation the GR done is with Planned price (Based on BOM) + Subcontracting charges which it is set with production order while releasing it for the first time.
Kindly tell me is the system behaviour is correct or wrong?
We are expecting that GR should happen with the actual material issue price + Subcontracting charges only.
Please reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal Kadia

Vishal,
This is for your information.
If you have production order of 1 EA- Starnadar Price =10 rs
Raw material cost=5
Activity Cost=2
Overhead Cost=2
So COM=9 rs
Suppose after production order creation plan cost is 9 rs, hence after confirmation there is no varience (plan vs actual) so actual cost is also the same 9 rs.
Now as you said if system will go for GR against actual cost, that will post in cost of good mfg account at the time of GR.
As per std SAP after GR also you can issue the material to that order, hence if you will go for more goods issue of new material against that order (unplanned issue) of rs 5 for the same order then the actual cost will again change (recalculated), but for that oredr material is allready GR with actual cost, then you will not able settle the cost of newwly issued material on that order.
So whatever the plan and acual cost GR will be done against std price maintioned in material master ( 10 rs)
This is my understanding.
Hopes that will clear your dought.

Muliple inspection plan for same material and same usage

Hi,
I need to create multiple inspection plans for same material with same usage.during the inspection lot creation i need to select any one inspection plan.
In standard SAP its not possible.Any user exits available for this..
Regards,
S.P.Selvathangam

Dear Selvathangam Palanisamy ,
My Dear Shayamal is absolutely correct and we are corrently using this SAP facility. You can create 'N' number of inspectio plans for a material and then whenever the inspection lot will created ( Thru a process order or Manual) then you will get the Inspection Lot Status 'CRTD' (Created mode) then you have to select your Inspection Task list manually by two way...
Either go to QA02 and then select it from the list of multiple plans.
Or you can directly go from QA32 ...select your inspection lot row and directly click on the Inspection Lot icon to go directly to the inspection lot window to slect the Task list.
Further there is no need to remove the Automatic Assignment from the QM View of the Material Master as if there is only one task List then system will automatically assign the TASK LIST, if you deselect it then you have to select in every case.
Thanks

MIGO GR posting prompt " Read planning situation for material" message

Hi Guru
Need some advice on SAP MM MIGO GR 101 with reference to Purchase Order.
There is a purchase order created for AAC = P project and item category = S 3rd party. It is linked to a sales order which meet 3rd party scenario purchase and delivery directly to customer in the SO.
However, during MIGO GR screen on this PO, system prompted a message below where it took a while (long respond time) and then only post to material document successfully.
Read planning situation for material XXX in plant YYY
XXX = material code
YYY = plant code
Question:
From where this message is triggerred? It is not error, warning, or information message. However, it only appear when we post GR against 3rd aprty scenario purchase order
Please advise

Dear Lyonie
This message seems to be generated dynamically during the save process of GR.
When we click save button in MIGO GR button, there will be number of BAPI/FM will triggered to validate/check and post the data. During this process, some dynamic messages will be displayed for the user about the process. It is very difficult to find out the message triggering point.
Example I can provide , not sure about relevancy , We can observe start of application: Good movement message initially while we execute MIGO.
Still you need to find out about the message, please take help of technical ABAP consultant help to trace out the message triggering point.
warm regards

Planning with Final Assembly

I learn this planning strategy from SAP library and I have some quetstion, could any experts clarify them in a detailed way? Thanks in advance.
In strategy 40, the first step is to put the planned independent requirements into finished product level. so the where does planned independent requirements coming from? sales forecast?
In this strategy also mentioned consumption mode, when a sales order is received, if PIR could cover sales order, it would be a backward consumption, if not, it would be forward consumption. Is my understanding correct?

Hello
The following links from the on-line help should clarify your question:
Creating PIRs with Reference - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
The following information is provided here:
You must have performed planning procedures and have results to use as reference. You can choose from the following reference types:
Sales plan of a material
Sales plan of a product group
Production plan of a material
Production plan of a product group
Results of flexible planning from SOP
Simulative dependent requirements for characteristics planning
Material forecasts
Planned independent requirements of other materials
Planned independent requirements of the same material
The original plan of the same material
Also, PIRs may be transfered from APO or you may create a custom program to upload the PIRs using a BAPI.
At last, they may also be created manually and directly on MD61. The following link provides more details:

Planning with Alternate Materials

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how we can plan for Alternate materials in SAP PP with ECC 6.0
My scenario is that we have a BOM for Material A which uses multiple components and if one component is not available than its alternate is used instead.
Material A: Base Qty 100 gms
Component A: Qty 10 gms
Alternate Component A: 7 gms
Component B: Qty 90 gms
Now what we want is that if Component A is not available Alternate Component A should be used in its place. We can manage this through Alternate Item Groups in BOM but this only works at execution level. Is there anyway how we can implement this scenario in such a way that MRP also generates requirements for Alternate Component A
Thanks!
Regards,
Hashim Abbasi

Dear Hashim,
In my understanding the system allows to maintain the priority,strategy and usage probability for the items grouped under
alternative item group.
Priority:This determines the priority for planned withdrawal of items.
Example:
Two items are assigned to an alternative item group (A1) with the following values for priority:
Item 0060 Value for priority: 02
Item 0065 Value for priority: 01
The system reads item 0065 first.
Usage probability:MRP plans these alternative material components according to probability of use.
In this field you enter a percentage to show the probability of using an object in production. Material requirements for the BOM
components are planned according to the usage probability.
The system does not consumes the items as per the stock availability automatically.
Check these threads to explore about alternative item,
concept of alternative items
Re: Alternative item in BOM
Re: NOTE 149332 : Error for material components with usage probability 0

Strategy Plan-with different Counters??

Dear Experts,
I had a scenario, which my client want :
There are many similar equipments say "Pumps". So, for 5 similar pumps, they want a single plan which will include all 5 pumps (say in OBJECT lists). Now the thing is that 2 of the pumps are standby for some period and can be brought in running after some time or some running hours.
So, they would like to attach counters to each pump(equipment) and based on measuring documents, call object /order should generate only for those which have completed stipulated running hours.
As I didn't find to assign more than one counters in a plan, so i am unable to fulfill this demand.
Is there any way to complete this scenario???
Regards,
Rajesh

Hello Rajesh,
You can assign multiple counter by defining the cycle set for multiple counters defined for equipment.
SAP does support Maintenane planning for equipment with multiple counter.You can define the and/or condition for multiple counters.
Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks

Change of sales order in combination with planned/released production order

Hi Guru's,
How do you deal with changes in the sales order in combination with planned orders and the scenario how to deal with release production orders?
Can you tell me the SAP scenario, technically or reports or transactions or user exits, etc?
Thank you in advance,
Eric

Here You have 2 scenarios
1. Sales order changed at planned order stage
In this case any chagne of quantity done in the sales order level will be taken care by the Planned order until it was not firmed .
In case if it was firmed for the increased qty you will get a new planned order getting created.
In case if it is reduced and if it was unfirmed it will get changed accordingly
2. Sales order changed at production order stage
if the planned order was converted to production order change we can manually changes the respective Production order util no confirmation was done to any operations..
is all this scenariors you are looking for if it is helpful let me know
thanks..
