Selection Of Alternative Sequence Automatically By Operation Quantity

Dear All,
We are Using Discrete Manufacturing Scenario, In That Scenario Routing Contains Six Operation and One or Two Operations having alternative Sequence , My client required during production Order Creation , If Operation quantity is more than 250
system should select std sequence else system should select alternative sequence, But i am not getting to mantain lot size for std sequence for operation even I maintaining lot size for alternative sequence , system should not considering alternative sequence. Pls Suggest me how to Resolve Issue
Thanks

Vipin,
It is not possible to control the routing sequence selection based on lot size.
As suggested by forum experts, create mulitple group counters for the same material routing group and you can use them based on lot size.
You can also create production versions for different lot sizes.
Check and revert,

Alternative sequence - operations number

Hi all,
I've got an issue on the alternative sequence.
The standard sequence is made by operation 10, 20 and 30.
I try to add a new alternative sequence to substitute the operation 20 with 2 different operations: 20 and 25.
The system give me an error on the routing: CP331 - Operation: date 28.04.2010: operation number incorrect.
I tried the option to change the standard sequence to 10, 20 and 40, but the error is the same. The system checks the return operation (20) and is not possible to add operations into the alternative sequence with operations number greater than return operation.
It seems that is not possible to substitute 1 operation with 2 operations.
Anyone has solved?
Thanks, regards.

Hi ,
Okay, you want to create an alternaive sequence only.
Standard sequence is 10 20 30
Alternate Sequence:
1.Branch operation : 10
Number of the operation from which an alternative sequence is to replace the reference sequence.
2. Return operation: 30
(number of the operation up to which an alternative sequence is to replace the reference sequence)
Operations: 20, 25
This should work.
Please check and confirm.

Branch operation and return operation for routing in alternative sequence

Hi all experts.
I would like to ask which table and field store the value of branch operation and return operation for routing in the alternative sequence. I can only find them in structure (PLFLD-VORNR1 and PLFLD-VORNR2) but I want the table field of them. Would anyone please suggest a solution? Thank you.

Hi,
look in table AFFL, here the BKNT1 and BKNT2 refer to those vornr1 and vornr2 of the operation. For example in user-exit ZXCO1U01 you will find the values (BKNT1/2) in the sequence table, and when, for example, filling the LOIPRO01-Idoc, you can use the found VORNR for the E1AFFLL-segment.
See coding for example on determining VORNR1/2 (sequence_table/operation_table as in user exit EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001):
SORT operation_table BY vornr.
LOOP AT sequence_table INTO l_sequence.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING l_sequence TO l_affl.
* Read the operation table to determine the vornr1 and vornr2
*via the value of field BKNT1/2
    IF NOT l_sequence-bknt1 IS INITIAL.
      READ TABLE operation_table INTO l_operation
      WITH KEY aufpl = l_sequence-aufpl
               aplzl = l_sequence-bknt1.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        l_affl-vornr1 = l_operation-vornr.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    IF NOT l_sequence-bknt2 IS INITIAL.
      READ TABLE operation_table INTO l_operation
      WITH KEY aufpl = l_sequence-aufpl
               aplzl = l_sequence-bknt2.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        l_affl-vornr2 = l_operation-vornr.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.

Alternative sequences cannot be released

Operations in alternative sequences cannot be released
Message no. CO224
im getting error msg while realease alternate sequence operation .
for my alternate sequence operation Branch operation 0020 and return operation 0030.
as of now my first operation confirmed .
im trying to release my aternate sequence operation (as a second operation)
Not all operations were released (see log)
Message no. C2038
once i see the log it showing the first above msg
wat will be the problem.???

Prakash,
You must be talking about parallel sequences. Alternative sequences are the part of routing only. While order creation, one of the alternate sequence gets copied.
By the way if not all the parallel seuences are released, you can release them separately also at sequence level or at operation level.
1. Go to sequence overview, select the desired sequence & click on the green flag.
2. Go to operation overview of the desired sequence, select all the operation & click on the green flag in the bottom. Your problem will be solved.
Hope this helps you

Alternative sequence

hello,
any body please give me idea. how to create alternative sequence of operation in recipe. i 10 - 50 sequential operation. if necessary as per customer i want to run 60th operation other wise i want to stop at 50th operation. so that i want to use alternative operation sequence. how to do this.
thanks advance
bhakta

hI bhakta vatsalam
you can do this by creating an alternate routing in CA01 for the 2nd sequence for 10 to 60 steps and another one for 10- 50 operations
next after this you need make sure you create 2 different production versions 1 and 2 and assign alternate 1 and alternate routing =2 so this is the different for each customer
and in the config for order type dependant parameters, you need to maintain the setting for selection by production version and similarly in MRP-4 also for BOM Explosion by production versions
so when you create a production order, then the system will prompt you to select which production version you want to use and for that customer, you can select the productiion version which contain the alternate routing with operations 10- 60 in it
if helpful pls reward points
thanks

Alternative Sequence in Routing

Dear All,
I have a routing with 2 operations, and an alternative sequence branching in/out for operation 0020.
Now I have created a Production order, finished operation number 0010, finished half of operation 0020 and confirmed half the quantity, now the machine stops and I want to use the alternative machine.
How can I do that?
It wouldn't allow me to use the alternative in confirmation, only allows me to choose it while creating the production order. How can I fix this issue?
In my origional routing I have 1 standard sequence, and once the machine brakes, I go to CO02 and create a new alternative?
However, in my original routing I dont want to state that I'll be manufacturing this production on 50% on machine 1 and 50% on machine 2.
The problem only occurs if the workcenter I'm working in develops a downtime. Where can I list the other work center I will use respecting the capacity, etc..?
Edited by: Rafik Wassef on May 21, 2009 12:01 PM

Rafik,
There are three types of sequences you can maintain in the routing, i.e. standard, alternative & parallel.
As soon as the order is created in which this routing is the master data, any one sequence either standard or alternative sequence gets copied to the order.
Parallel sequences will be copied to the order.
That means the sequences which are alternative to each other never be a part of the order i.e. you can maintain those in the routing but while order creation only one out of them gets part of the order. Also you can not maintain alternative sequence in the order.
Only parallel sequence can be maintained in the order.
That's the reason I suggested you to maintain the same to tackle this issue..
If the main work center is under maintenance then you can replace the work center with the desired work center in the order itself. Why secific need to maintain the another sequence?
Hope this helps you.

Alternative Sequences in Routings

Hi Friends,
I have a question for altenative sequnces in Shop Floor (Confirmation screen:CO11N).
For a material I have a routing and it has two oprtaions (0010-0020). Operation 0010 has an alternative sequence. In standart sequence the work center ise A and in alternative sequence it is B.
I created an production order. Users confirm production with standart sequences. But if the machine ( Workcenter: A) breaks down they will go on producing with workcenter B. I dont want to create a new production order.
But during confirmation via CO11N I get an error : "Sequence 4 is not defined in order 4011105, check entry" (Message no. RU005)
Infact I have a sequnce number 4 which is alternative to the standart operation.
Where am I wrong? or how can I hanndle this kind of stiuations?
Thanks for your answers.

Dear ,
Check the set up in Order Type Dependent parameters -OPL8 wether u have clicked Alternative Sequence in Impementation Tab under Master Data Setting .Routing will copied to Production Order based on the set up in Order Type Dependent Parametrs

Parallel & alternative sequence-Routing

Dear all,
Can any one please send the document for how to process parallel & alternative sequence.
I tried but during confirmation its not showing the operation which i created in sequence.
Kindly let me know.

Difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing.

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain me with example the difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing? wHEN CAN WE USE PARALLEL OPEARTION AND PARALLEL SEQUNCE WITH COMPONENT ALLOCATION.
Regards
Deepak sharma

I think u need to modify ur quest... i think u r asking about Parallel sequence and alternate seq. Below are the details from SAP site.
A parallel sequence enables you to process several operations at the same time.
You use an alternative sequence for example, if
--The production flow is different for certain lot-size ranges
For instance you can machine a work piece on conventional machine or on NC machines. A NC machine has a longer set-up time than a conventional machine. However the machining costs are considerably less. Therefore whether you use NC machines will depend on the lot size.
---The production flow changes under certain business conditions.
For instance, if you have a capacity problem, you have some production steps performed externally by a vendor.

Difference between "base quantity" and "operation quantity" in an operation

Hello
what is the difference between "base quantity" and "operation quantity" in a production order ?
thank you for your answers

Base Quantity - Quantity of the material to be produced to which the standard values of the operation refer.
Operation Quantity - Quantity planned for this operation.
Base quantity and operation quantity may not always be the same, if we have partial lots delivered during the sequence of operations, the operation quantity will be equal to the lot delivered during the operation.
Base quantity is dependent on the BOM, where it signifies the total quantity of output after using the components of certain quantity.
Hope this may help you.

How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

Want to select the Order type automatically when creating production order

Hi Gurus,
Please help to select the order type automatically while creting the production order..??
Please what configuration settings are avialble to make this happen to me.
THank you in advance.
Naveen.

Naveen,
First priority is the order type defined in the Production schedulling profile(OPKP), assigned to that particular material in workscheduling view. If this is not maintained then,
Second priority is configuration at MRP Group parameters in transaction in OPPR, this MRP Group if assingned to Material master MRP1 view.
Third priority is Configuration at Plant level parameters in transaction OPPQ, this defines the order type when convert planned order to Production/Process order.

Fixed operation Quantity- Execution factor

Dear All
SAP NOTE:
Use of Execution Factor
Use the execution factor to indicate how many times an operation or sub-operation is to be carried out during processing of an order.
The execution factor refers to the work, the operation duration, the operation quantity and the material quantity.
If the indicator fixed operation quantity was set, the execution factor has no effect. If the indicator fixed lot was set, the material quantity remains unchanged.
Where i can find Fixed operation quantity and fixed lot indicator field in project builder.
Thanks
Shobana

Please refer this SAP link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0f/28b904c3e511d194f900a0c93033d8/frameset.htm
i.e.
If the indicator Fixed lot quantity is set (in the component item under General data), the execution factor of the components is not taken into account for the component quantity.
If the indicator Fixed op.quantity is set (on the external processing screen of the operation), the execution factor is not taken into account.
Hope this will help you.

Inbound Queue blocked: Parallel and alternative sequences are not supported

Hi,
Just now, I checked the Inbound Queue in SCM system through SMQ2 and found which was blocked by error message "Parallel and alternative sequences are not supported". Could you please tell me what does it mean? How to fix it?
Thanks,
Quanyin Su

Hi Quanyin Su,
Parallel and Alternative sequences are used in routing.
I believe you are trying to CIF PPM/PDS from ECC to APO and you are getting this queue stuck at inbound of APO.
Both the alternative and parallel sequences are supported in APO.
Alternative sequence is used as alternative modes in APO.
I can think of this as a master data issue.
At least one of your work center used in either of the sequences is not available in APO or is not APO relevant.
Could you please check your master data such as all the work centers used and make sure your parallel and alternative sequences are consistent.
Once you made sure that master is available in ECC, you can CIF it to APO by using CURTO_CREATE transaction in ECC.
Please see below link for Routing and its usage in APO:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_apo/helpdata/en/99/ed3a981d0f11d5b3fc0050dadf0791/content.htm
You also need to activate a BADI in order to sent alternative sequences to APO.
Below thread has all the details regarding this.
