Sesonality - Lead-Time - Forecasting

I have a unique scenario regarding seasonality and limiting the sales window for the sale and shipment of certain products. Lets say for example my lead time is 40 days which is eight weeks from today so in theory I can have as much material as I wish so as long as my MAD date is 40 days from today. That being said the first date of this products particular shipping season is 03/02/2009 - 05/04/2009 which is where my forecast lies and where all sales should be. I am trying to develop a solution that handles this scenario is there any data field in SAP that allows you to define sales windows/periods? We wont start forecasting these products until around January but we will potentially get sales orders today for future shipment. Currently our lead time is an inflated value. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hello Jeremy
Please go thru the "Forecast model" portion in this link and see if this gives you some clue to move further.

Hi,
There is a standard report that shows the actual average LT compared to the master data definitions. You can also see the details, and even update master data automatically if you want; WPDTC.

Lead time scheduling Vs Takt time scheduling

Hi Experts, we are planning to implement sap in one of our plants..below is our business structure for your understanding..
OEM - Mini bus Manufacturer which is the customer
Bus seat manufacturer - Our plant (we already have sap here) - we already have sap repetitive here
bus seat components manufacture - our plant (we are planning implement sap here)
based on bus seat forecast the component plant will drive their production and will be send it to assembly plant which is seat manufacture.
I have two questions
1. what should we do in our component plant discrete orders or repetitive? I know you cannot tell me without seeing the plant but that my question. what questions should be ask our business to make this decision? how do anyone make the decision of going either repetitive or discrete? pleade do not point out the link to rep vs dis.. I have already those but I need something more in detail..
2. I was reading a lot of help.sap.com and I have a question on below statement
Basically, you can use two different types of scheduling:
Sequencing with takt-based/rate-based scheduling
The system schedules the planned orders using the number of takts and the takt times/rates of the line hierarchy. You define the line hierarchy in Line Design. In this type of scheduling, the system does not create any capacity requirements and only schedules the main lines. The system does not schedule the feeder lines.
Lead time scheduling
In lead time scheduling, the system creates capacity requirements and also schedules the feeder lines. The system uses the operations from the rate routing or the standard routing for lead time scheduling.
what does lead time schuling will also do feeder line scheduling and take based does not schedule feeder lines means? can some explain with an example?
Thx

any help is appreciated

MM Report for Reorder and lead time

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me a report that can show information by materail such as min./max. quantity, re-order or safety stock, and replensihment lead time.
Thanks
Atif

you can create the query using MARC or just go se16 adn enter the MARC table and pull the data.\
Displayed Fields:   8 of   8 Fixed Columns:                2 List Width 0900
Material             Plant Reorder Point     Safety stock      Min. lot size     Max. lot size     Total RL time Min SafetyStock

Lead time values are not appearing in the report for current year.

Hi friends,
Iam checking a report in production. where lead time values are displayed as 0 for 1 key figure lead time3 (w/0 dim) . i found there is a formula for this it shows like NODIM ( 'Lead Time 3' ).and there is a value for cal.lead time
how can i get values in the report.
Thanks ,
VRV.

Hi,
Although your question is not clear, I understood that the formula built on that KF is NODIM. Basically it means, units of measurement is not considered when calculating.
Eg: 5 Minutes + 5 Kilograms = 10
You please try to analyze your KF by the above logic. Then you would be able to figure out why the data is not appearing in the report..

Is there any method to stop rescheduling of the PO Need By date from ATP if there is any holiday specified in shipping calender. The requirement is to update the schedule ship date on Sales Order but the lead time of Purchase Order should not increase

We are currently not able to manage schedule ship date proposed by ATP when our warehouse is closed. For example , we would like that ATP doesn't propose any schedule ship date for the first of May , which is a non working day in France. The constraint is that we don't want our purchase need by date to be impacted by the process.
I tried to closed one day in FR1 calendar and, after testing with order management, it appears that ATP didn't propose the closed day, so that's fine, but, our purchase order lead time was increased of 1 day and this is not what we expected.
Can you help us to find the right process.
Thanks

Hi Sandeep,
when we try to Rescheduled out the PO and the request is errored out the with the error:-

Sales order is not taking shipping transit lead time into consideration

Hi,
We have following scenario -
1. Sales order is created in AT organization.
2. There is no onhand in any of the organizations including AT.
3. The scheduled ship date for sales order comes as order creation date + item lead time = 15-Sep-2011.
3. PO for sufficient quantity is available at UK org with need-by date as 01-Jun-2011.
5. Post processing item lead time for this item is 1 day.
4. intransit shipment is setup between UK and AT.
5. Shipment Transit lead times are also set up at 3 days between locations of UK and AT.
6. ASCP plan is run.
7. Sales Order is unscheduled and rescheduled via API MSC_ATP_PUB, which takes the ATP details from UK (based on the sourcing rules). The sheduled ship date comes as 02-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + 1 day of post processing).
8. Expectation is that API should also take transit lead time into consideration while calculating the ATP dates and hence the Expectation is that scheduled ship date should come as 05-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + Transit lead time + 1 day of post processing).
Please let me know
a. if this is standard functionality of oracle or not.
b. if this is standard functionality then what setups are missing required for the same to be achieved.
UAT is held up for this issue. Please help urgently.
Regards.

Oracle is supposed to take the in-transit time into consideration.
Are you running a constrained plan or an unconstrained one?
Make sure you defined the inter-org network as described in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/inv/shipne01.htm.
or go to Inventory > Setup > Organization > Inter-Location Transit Times and enter it there.

Purchase-How could I consider Transit time and lead time in imported mat.

My doubt refers about master data configuration of imported material.
My sittuation is :
Material - Lead Time: (depend on source)
Transit Time: (depend on source)
My company is responsable to transport all bought material. Besides, I can buy of differents suppliers.
Considering these rules, It s impossible to fix dates in material master, because material purchase is related with center and not with supplier. By the way, I need to discover other master data to configure it maybe : Inforecord, quotization... Whatever...
I need to correct this to generate Purchase order with dispatched date of my source against required date of my company after execute MRP.
I tried to study this scenario but until now I ve not got a solution.
Probably, you have had it before and can help me.
I hope your help!
Thank you!
Regards!

Create POs with respect to either PIRs (if you don't need to print out) or Contract/item, both of these are Vendor/material specific so you can set lead times accordingly . Probably best to use Source List and set requirement in material master too (Purchasing view).

Purchase order with transportaion time+replenishtment lead time in PP/DS

The process: Location 0011 buys by supplier 1080 with normal purchase order.
Delivery lead time 30 days of this 20 days transportation time and 10 days replenishment lead time of the supplier. Delivery free on board.
What to do that the date for free on board is in the purchase order.for example.: Beginning November.
And the inbound delivery date end of November in the md04 R3 and product view PP/DS.

Yes 30 days is the total lead time . I am not so good in modelling of FOB in PP/DS.
In R3 we have a not so good solution for FOB. There we have add the transporting time inte the GR Processing Time. This is not so good.
The solution beeing
in the purchase order the date for finish the supplier on board
and in the md04 R3 and product view PP/DS the to arrive in the firm location
kind regards Feth

PO lead time report

Hi Gurus
What report can be run to provide the average time taken from PO creation to Goods reciept? IE how do we measure actual delivery lead time
Thanks in advance
BR

Hello
Thanks for reply.
IF this is not , could you pl let me know the correct procedure and any standard report for measuring the Delivery time for Purcsase Order based on materials.
As per your exnample , why a person should enter the delivery date manually , it should should come by system based on PDLT maintained ..
for tht reason only we are looking to review our materials to update correct PDLT.
thanks..

How to store lead-time and price per MPN for a single Item

We are probably one of the only CEM's that use Oracle Applications in a one-to-one MPN-IPN (Oracle Item Part Number) relationship. We do not currently store multiple Manufacturers under a single Item. Rather, we use the Customer Item Cross Reference to rank the customer's AML, with each IPN tied to a single MPN.
We are looking at moving into a one-to-many "world" in Oracle but are not sure how we can handle different pricing, lead-time, preference, status (prototype, production, obsolete, do not use), etc. for each Manufacturer's Part Number under a single Item. How are other CM's handling this???

Hi Greg,
Unfortunately, DIAdem Datafinder doesn't really support much in the way
of Date/Time search outside of the File Level Creation Date property.
In order to make the creation time of the Channels searchable you would
want to create some custom properties (or use the existing RegisterInt1
- RegisterInt6) to define your own searchable properties.
For example, since you know that you have one TDM file per day, you can
start your search by find the desired day on the File Property Level,
searching the "Creation Date" property. When you store your TDM
properties, you could store the hour creation as an integer (and
thereby searchable) in one of the RegisterInt properties of the
channel, or create your own custom "Hour" channel. You could similarly
save the minute and second property in their own custom properties.
Then, since you're saving integer values, you can then search those
values to determine the time that the channel was created.
I realize that this isn't ideal or elegant, as in total it requires 4
searches (date, hour, minute, second). But that is the most
straightforward way of searching your channels by creation date/time.
Hope this helps Greg, let me know if you have any other questions.

Lead time calculation

Dear Gurus,
I want to calculate lead time between purchase order and goods receipt.how to do that???
Am having some doubts.
Does the lead time links with
Planned Delivery Time
Goods Receipt Processing Time
Purchasing Processing Time in material master. plz explain???

Hi,
If you create PR for a material, using MRP, then the planned delivery time would be picked up from the material master, please note that there is no source maintained yet in the PIR, so obviously that rules out planned delivery time of PIR and Vendor Master( even when u convert this P.R to P.O the planned delivery time will not change and will not be taken from the PIR)
Now if you directly create a P.O then the planned delivery time of the PIR is picked up , please note this difference.
I would recommend that you change the planned delivery time in the material, mnake it different from the planned delivery time of the PIR, and then run MRP, You will see that the planned delivery time in the PR would be based on the material planned delivery time.
Even if you assign source and convert this P.O using ME59 the PDT will not change.
Then you can try and create a P.O directly with the vendor, here you will notice that the PDT flows from the info record.
Please let me know if this addresses your concern.
Regarding your soure list issue, either you can remove the source list mandatory tick in MM or add the vendor whose PIR you are using into ME01, and it will definitely work.

Shailesh
