Sending Production Plan to Vendor / Supplier

Dear Sir
Ours is a production unit (assembly line) we use lot of components. So I want to know is it possible to send plan directly to Vendor by E-mail from SAP.
Thanks & Regards
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
Sending out Production Plan to Vendors by email is possible but given nature of dataset involved (not documents in form of Production Orders) it may not be a very feasible option. Instead either develop a report to extract relevant Production Plan data and send it out as email.
But better look at Supply Chain Collaboration applications like SNC Supply Network Collaboration that has Outsourced Manufacturing processes catering to these kind of supplier / vendor collaboration requirements.
Hope this helps.

Subcontracting in Production, 2 subcontracting vendors involved

Hi,
We have a scenario where in production 4 operations needs to be performed, one of which is a external process [subcontracting]
Process 1 - Drilling
Process 2 & 3 - Subcontracting [External process] u2013 2 processes
Process 4 u2013 Finishing
After drilling process, material is sent to subcontractor A for cutting, after this is done Vendor A will sent product to Vendor B directly for further operation . Once this is done We receive from Vendor B
Then it will go to Process 4 [Finishing]
Can you please help in mapping this scenario in SAP
If there is only one vendor involved then I believe process will be like one subcontract PR [system creates automatically], we issue goods and we receive finished goods
In this case Subcontract vendor A sends directly to Vendor B
Both Vendor A and B sends invoice to US
Any pointers in this regards will be of great help
Thanks

Hi ,
While raising the subcontracting order for vendor A enter Delivery address vendor B address & save.
Raise one more P.O(subcontracting ) with vendor B
when vendor supplied material to vendor do the migo.
then in sap stock will increase at vendor B.
when material recieved from vendor B do migo stock will increaes in respective plant.
you can procees invoice with P.O wise
Try this one & let me know

Product Costing and Production Planning

Hi,
Is Product Costing absolutely required before implementing Production Planning, specifically PP orders? My client does not want to plan costs or need any cost estimates. They want to use a PP order to check availability for a BOM, and then issue it out to an external vendor for services. After this material is processed by the external vendor, he would ship it back and we would be doing a goods receipt at the parent level of the BOM. The whole purpose of this is to get the accurate price of the BOM parent which would include all service costs. This parent would finally be sold via the regular SD sales order process. Our Logisitics consultant suggested that the only way this could be accomplished is a PP order. All this looks okay, but he also mentioned that a PP order cannot work without Product Costing and the process cant be accomplished CO-PC. I am unable to grasp why SAP would force us to have costing when the client doesnt need any cost estimates, planning etc. Could any one please tell me if we need CO-PC for this scenario?

Dear SAPFicon,
Technically, to run PP without using product cost planning would cause a lot of problems during business process of production order. Because, once a production order is created then the data structured is freezed in the PO and if there is any missing data it will cause errors. Any errors in production order would stop the following transactions. We never know what would be the error level of the production order. The worst case, the production or should be cancel and start it all over again.
But by using product costing or product cost planning, this is a preliminary step to prevent and eliminate any error of the products tobe produced.
So, ideally, there is one person in charge to ensure that the products which be produced in the production orders are free of error.
So, the product costing is an integrated module that take data from variouse module such as PP, MM, CO, HR.
The product costing use the Logistic master data such as folllowing;
1. Bill of material
2. Routing
3. Work center
4. Material master
How you can say, that running PP without PC will run, while the to run the smooth production order, you need to mandatory parameter in Material Master that belong to Costing area.
Without having product costing, I can assure that your client will trap in a lot of troubles with their business process.
Please see the online documentation for product costing for a better overview or you are welcome to ask again

How to construct Work center Hirerchy in Production Planning.

Hi Experts,
How to construct Work center Hirerchy in Production Planning.
Thanks in advance.

Amit,
I guess you must have overlooked the rules of engagement for this forum. It is customary for questioners to first perform basic research before posting any questions.
First, search in the forums (search box in the upper right of this page). FYI The question you raised has been covered dozens of times.
Next, check online help. This help is generic, and not generally specific to a particular industry:
http://help.sap.com
Work Center Hierarchy:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b1/c037ae439a11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Next, look for generic solutions solutions in Best Practices. Basic index at

If you are experiencing a problem, or you believe that SAP is not working per the online help, you can then search OSS notes.
http://service.sap.com/notes
Next search in one of the standard online search engines (such as Google).
Only after you have performed all of these tasks, and studied all of the online help that is supplied for free by SAP, should you then consider posting a question to these forums.
If you are unwilling or unable to perform such research, then you should probably engage a consultant to assist you. All consultants use searches to assist them in designing and executing solutions. If you intend to one day become a consultant, you would be wise to cultivate this skill.

Sending Bids from SRM to suppliers and receiving responses

Hi Experts,
Help me with a suggestion for sending Bids from SRM to suppliers and receiving responses - preferably through email adapter.
Regards,
Hemanthika
Edited by: hemanthika patnaik on Apr 28, 2008 2:24 PM

Sorry for the delay,
I have worked in a similar integration with SRM - XI, but the only difference is that we used Proxy -- HTTPS for Purchase Order Request.
In your case it would be:
1. Create custom IDOC and Message type.
2. Find the triggering process from the SRM side, trigger the IDOC from SRM.
3. Generate the partner profile and ALE config.
4. Import the custom IDOC in XI.
5. Use a map in XI to convert the IDOC data to customer format.
6. Use HTTP adapter to connect.
7. In the HTTP adapter you can use url method or the RFC destination to do the connectivity. ( I would recommend using the RFC destination to do it.)
8. You should be receiving an acknowledgment from the customer when the document is posted at their end.
9. The response is either 200 for successful transmission. It would be 400 or 500 for errors.
10. Use the response message to do a message map with the mail adapter.
11. Generate the content of the mail adapter using the message map.
12. In the message map ideally you should use Value mapping to generate the TO and FROM data. (This enables you to change the receipients while in development and production without changing the message mappinng program.)
13. Use mail package in the Mail adapter to send the mail content to the business users.
Hope this helps.

Optimizer creating high production plan in few buckets

Hi,
Optimizer is creating high production plan in few buckets though there is less demand.
Findings
1. system in not preplanning to cover future demand.
2. there is one resource used by three different products for one product optimizer is doing excess planning while it is showing supply shortage for other products.
3.If I again take optimizer run for all the three products at all the location system is giving correct results (all receipt elements in line with the demand.
Now i need to understand the reasons why optimizer gave high production plan in last run ?
Regards
Abhi

1. system in not preplanning to cover future demand.
check storage cost and penalty cost , i think storage cost is more then penalty cost.
2. there is one resource used by three different products for one product optimizer is doing excess planning while it is showing supply shortage for other products.
if you run all three one by one it plan only first product on that particular resource, if you run all three same time system will plan according to the cost optimisation logic, that means it checks all cost and calculate which product needs to be manufacture on that resource and how much.
you can check the log of snp optimisation run in

Pre-production Planning

Hi, How to do pre-production planning for the possible production with current resources in a stipulated time and resources required for completion of specified production qty with the stipulated time. i also need to condisder maintenance schedule etc.pls advise.

Dear Yadav,
In my understanding LTP is one way of doing the pre-production planning for a material or a list of
material through simulated planning and using the simulated planned orders.
This can be used for doing vendor analysis and also to check the capacity anaylsis.
Based on this you can modify the production plan or go for extra shift or extra resources to meet the
plan or adjust the plan as per the available capacity.
To know explore more about LTP,check this thread,
LTP - CM38
Just hold on for other's suggestions on the same.

Production planning run

Hi,
I have a continous supply of raw material with predifine schedules like 1000Lt at 7AM,1200Lt at 8AM etc. till 7.00PM. When i run the PPDS heuristics how the system accounts these expected planned receipts.Shall we have to created any STR or Schedule agreement...System has to consider these receipts and then only it has to generate further supplies if these are not sufficient...
Regards
Hemanth

Hemanth,
OK, SAP_MRP_001 is one of the standard 'MRP' type heuristics. I will assume that you know that this heuristic will perform MRP Demand-type planning.
For this heuristic to function, I will further assume that you know you need to have demand elements in place (dependent demand, Independent requirements, sales orders, etc etc).
When this heuristic runs, it will perform a net requirements calculation. This means it will look at all existing supply elements (stock, planned/production orders, purchase reqs/purchase ords,etc), and at all existing demand elements, and will determine in a time-phased fashion each place where demand is not met with supply. It will then look at the ordering policy of the material, and create procurement proposals.
So, to your issues:
Now i have to prepare a production planning schedule for tomorrow utilising the stock quantity first and based on the expected quantity schedules.
This is standard MRP planning. SAP_MRP_001 will do this, provided you have sufficient demand in place
I dont want the system to create Purchase requisitions.It should check the expected supplies and create planned orders for production planning.
The procurement proposal type will depend on the settings in the product master. Generally, if the material is 'externally procured', you will get a purchase requisition. If it is internally procured, you will get a planned order. Also, SAP_MRP_001 standard functionality is to check existing supplies during its calculations.
Now my question is how should i capture the expected supplply hourly schedule in APO and whether this Heuristics check these quantity schedules?
The exact timing of the procurement proposals will depend on when you actually have a shortage. This in turn is dependent on the timing of your demand elements. You can set the SIZE of the procurment proposal by setting the Lot Size procedure in the Product Master. In your case, I believe a time-based policy would be in order, such as 'by period', period = hour; number of periods = 1.
In your post you didn't mention:
Fin goods, Assembly, Raw materials
MTO or MTS
Process or Discrete
Demand or consumption planning.
Capacity Issues.
How to execute the plan
I am going to stick my neck out and make the assumption that you do not have a lot of experience in the area of PP/DS, or planning in general. If you are asking these questions because you are trying to learn about planning, fine. This is what these forums are for. On the other hand, if you are in a position where your job requires you to create these planning scenarios for your client, or for your business, then I strongly advise you to go to your supervisor and ask for help. SAP offers many fine schools to learn about these issues, and there are many consulting companies that will guide a company through the implementation of PP/DS planning.

Sales order reference at the time of Production Planning

Hi all,
Is there any Hard check (or) Validation at the time of assigning sales order in Production order?
to be more specific
At the time of creating production plann, we assign open sales order to that. Again if new production plan is created and with out knowing if he assign the same Sales order number system should block it.
Is there any solution for this
Regards
Shashi

Shashi,
Couple of important things to be noted.
1. How could you determine if the first user linking the SO to the Production Order really selected the correct one. It could be very much possible that the same Sales Order linked to the another Prod Order is actually correct.
Unless you have a business validation procedure to check this it will not be of much value to prevent duplicated.
You can read about the transaction notification stored procedure using the link below
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1011154
This transaction notification is a stored procedure available in a company database and can be accessed from SQL Server Management Studio

Hi,
To send a mail when a new PO is created.
can be achievd by using class cl_bcs and BADI method
IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~POST of BADI ME_PEOCESS_PO_CUST.
We can aslo configure the OUTPUT TYPE as MAIL in transaction NACE. This is usually doen by the Functional consultant.
Pls look into these exapmles which clearly explains abt the process of sending a mail-
