Setting up the Planning time fence

We have a material that is set to MRP type P1 and WB lot size,
I have the following scenario: -
The planning time fence is currently on the 19th (Monday)
We have negative stock inside the planning time fence
I have run MRP and it has created Planned orders on the 19th to clear the negative stock.
So my assumption is that on Monday morning the Planned orders will be INSIDE the planning time fence.
The planning time fence will have moved to the 26th (Monday).
Will a daily MRP run effect this (NETPL and Adaptive Planning)?
Thanks in advance

Hi Guy,
The Planning time fence is given in number of working days.
So when you increase the time fence, naturally it includes the present
time duration.

  • Firmimg the orders and planning time fence

    Hi, Pls explain about firming and non-firming and planning time fence while running mrp or mps?what is meant by firming the orders?  i do not know how it work and how can we interpret the reults? pls explain with one example.

    Firming: When an order is firmed , indicates that the Order  no longer needs to be planned in MRP.
                  Order gets firmed, when we change plannde order manually and save .
    Planning time fence: the time period during which if any Order comes it gets firmed subject the Compatible MRP type.
                                    Depedning on whether they need to be firmed or not and when a new requirement is creatd in the planning horizon, How the receipt needs to be planned within the Planning time fence or out side is controlled in the MRP type.

  • Planning Time Fence and Rescheduling Purchase Req

    How to Process the MD04 exception  u201C30 Plan Process According to Scheduleu201D for Purchase Req.
    Please provide me a Step by step procedure with example to Reschedule the Purchase Req with given rescheduling date.
    *Really I am confused with PLANNING TIME FENCE.
    What it does with Planned Order and Purchase Req ?
    Based on the some of threads in SDN, I couldnu2019t come to the conclusion of the terminology behind PTF.
    So could you please provide me an explanation with example will make clear idea on PTF.
    Thanks in Advance.

    dear friend,
    as far as i know, all planned orders that lie in the planning time fence are firmed. that means that they can no longer be changed automatically by the system in the planning run in long-term planning.
    outside the planning time fence, the system creates order proposals as usual according to the shortage quantity and the lot-sizing procedure. once these planned orders move into the planning time fence, they are automatically firmed depending on the how you have set the firming type.
    the planning time fence can be defined per material in the material master record or via the MRP group.

  • Firmed planning time fence

    Hi gurus,
    My business scenario is to firm my planning shop flloor during 60 days.
    To do it I used the planning Type P1. So If there is a requirement during these 60 days the planned orders is proposed at the end of this time fence. But this is the requirement date that is defined out the time fence. I have to begin the production (and so change the shop floor planning) during my firmed time fence of 60 days to respect the planning proposed by MRP.
    Is it possible to achieve my scenario ?
    Thanks.

    Hello Laurent,
    If I've well understood what you want :
    you would keep normal run of P1 for any planned orders which cover a requirement inside the planning time fence, and in the same time, you would get new proposals from the MRP in the planning time fence if the requirement date is outside the planning time fence.
    In this case, it seems me to be a bit difficult.
    The planning time fence is done to take in account the procurement proposal and not the requirement level. Basically, it's firmed the production plan in a defined horizon whatever the requirements could be.
    In anyway, we could imagine a specific program which runs after the MRP with these internal steps:
    . selection of the planned orders which have been rejected outside the planning fence,
    . filtering the selection against the requirement date (keep the date outside the planning time fence),
    . changing the start date of each good planned order and firming it ( & setting an opération code ).
    In my opinion, technically speaking, the bolt-on is very simple but the impacts on the MRP process has to be evaluate for the final users (understanding and maintenance). Moreover, there is the difficulty to determine the requirement origin in some context.
    I hope to be helpfull,
    With regards,

  • HELP: Planning Time Fence Control

    Hi,
    We have a business requirement where we have Firm Purchase Orders and WIP jobs outside the planning time fence (PTF). We then have new demand for the item coming from SO. When we run MRP, the system is extending the planning time fence up to the Need by date of the latest PO so this means there will be no stock to cover the new demand and we are in backorder!
    Example:
    Item: ABC
    Item Leadtime: 5 days
    PTF: 5 days
    Sysdate : 09-Feb-2009
    Firm Purchase Order: 20-Mar-2009 (outside the PTF for the item)
    WIP job demand: 20-Mar-2009
    New SO 5000001252 with schedule ship date 17-Feb-2009
    To cover the demand for SO 5000001252 MRP is suggesting a new planned order for 20-Mar-2009.
    Plan option:
    Profile MRP:Firm Planned Order Time Fence = No
    Overwrite = None
    Append Planned Orders = Yes
    Planning Time Fence Control = Yes
    Has anybody come across this scenario? How can we force MRP to suggest a Planned Order for the 17-Feb-2009?
    Can the above requirement be achieved with ASCP?
    thanks

    Hi
    I guess planning is creating time fence on its own called the natrual time fence. It would take the firm supply and create a timefence based on its date until creating new pl order within that period.
    Please set profile MRP:Create Time fence to No and recheck
    Best regards

  • MF50 : Planning table and planning time fence

    HI,
    I use the transaction MF50 as planning table ( in order to do my MPS planning), I use "set firming date" to fix a firming date.
    Now, I want o know if it should possible to reveal a message when we create a planned order within the firming date??
    Thanks for your answer.

    Hi,
    For clarity , I am describing  below the functionlity of Set Firming date is explained as below:
    By setting Manual Firming date , we extend the planning time fence.
    If a planning time fence has been created for a material then the following applies:
    If the manual firming date lies before the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is still valid.
    If the manual firming date lies after the end of the planning time fence, the planning time fence is extended until this date.
    All order proposals with availability dates that lie before the end of the planning time fence of the manually extended planning fence are firmed for the planning run, if the materials have an MRP type which contains firming type or firming type 1 or 2
    The system does not automatically firm order proposals for materials that have an MRP type with firming type 3 or 4, even if their availability dates lie before the end of the planning time fence or manually extended planning time fence.
    Please check if this helps you.

  • Planning horizon and planning time fence

    What is the meaning of terms
    - planning horizon.
    - planning time fence.
    Where and how we can use these terms?
    Kindly explain with a example.

    Hi,
    1. planning horizon
    Net change planning in the system only plans materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to the planning run within the period which you defined as the planning horizon. The system sets the net change planning horizon indicator automatically for these materials.
    In net change planning in the planning horizon, the system only plans those materials provided with the net change planning horizon indicator.
    2. planning time fence
    The planning time fence dictates a firm period for planning purposes. Subsequent MRP runs will not create planned orders within the time fence but will place them just outside it. Orders must be manually moved forward if desired. The idea is to create a short term period of plan stability.Check the MRP tabs on the Material Master for the planning time fence
    period for the material.

  • Internal Transfer, BOD, Planning Time Fence and ASCP Reschedule suggestion

    Hi,
    we've an ASCP plan with 5 ORG. We've many items with BOD like this one:
    BOD of ITEM X:
    ORG 1 BUY
    ORG 2 TRANSFER FROM ORG 1
    ORG 3 TRANSFER FROM ORG 1
    Using this rule, we set PLANNING TIME FENCE for Buy items, at about 0,7 * LEAD TIME (from the approved supplier list) in BUY ORG (S01 in this example)
    and PLANNING TIME FENCE = 0 in TRANSFER ORGANIZATION.
    Sometimes, we release Internal Requisition to transfer item in excess from other organization to organization S01 to avoid Purchase Order not needed. In this case, the plan will suggest to reschedule OUT the internal requisition and if the planning time fence is large, people at the internal shipping department, will not see this Internal Req because they work in short range date.
    Furthermore the ASCP plan will reschedule out all the Discrete job and planned order pegged to this suply.
    This problem originate because we implement the reschedule out suggestion from ASCP over internal req ( we've a custom for this). How can ve avoid the Plan suggest to reschedule out this Internal Req? Maybe we can use the Profile "FIRM INTERNAL REQ INSIDE PLANNING TIME FENCE?".
    Someone know if there are other ways?
    Thanks in Adnvance.
    Giacomo

    Giacomo,
    Usually, clients use "MRP: Firm Internal Req Transferred to OE" to keep internal requisitions from being rescheduled by ASCP. This would mean that any IR that has created an ISO would be treated as frim by ASCP. The intent is that since standard ASCP cannot reachedule ISO/IR orders, that you prevent these reschedule recommendations.
    Since you have intentionally implemented a customization to cancel/reschedule these orders, this may not work for you.
    The other profile option that you suggested; "MSO: Firm Requisitions Within Time Fence" was intended for purchase requisitions. It may work for internal requisitions, but you'll have to test. If it did, it would only work for the organization that is recieving the IR. You had set the PTF to zero (0) in that organization.
    I suggest you try the combination of this last profile option with a PTF value that you do not want to see any reschedules.

  • PLANNING TIME FENCE and RELEASE TIME FENCE

    Hi, I am on ver 11.5.10.5. We are using MDS and MRP here.
    Trying to understand the right meaning of planning and release time fences , so that I can define the right time fences in the item attributes.
    My cumulative manufacturing lead time for top assembly is 12 days. Should this be the planning time fence.(12) ?
    Time taken to run MRP (1 hr) and manually release all planned orders to PO or WIP is 4 days. So should 4 days be the release time fence. Auto relase feature is not being used.
    Am I on the right track here , or is the track totally missing?

    James,
    The Planning Time Fence is the point that you want no new planned orders to be created prior to. In MRP this was based on the suggested dock date for (buy) orders and suggested due date for (make orders). Whatever you set the value to, no new planned orders will get created earlier than date.. even in an unconstrained plan
    So as a practical point, how far ahead do you want to create your WIP jobs? If you are creating WIP jobs now for next week and your build LT is 5 days, you may want to be a user define value of at least 5 days. This would put the suggested due date of the planned order on day 6 (5days + today), the suggested start date would be today. You can also add a pre-processing lead time to make the suggested order date earlier and monitor that value. I would test these, understand the attributes and the resulting dates and determine the right value.
    The Oracle ASCP User Guide has a good description of lead times that you should review on page 6-90. Most of this information is the same as old MRP, but some has changed. You can also review the inventory user guide to get a description of these attributes.
    If auto release is not used, the auto-release item attribute is not used.

    Kevin

  • Planning time fence and planning cycle

    Dear Experts,
    Please provide me the clarity on planning time fence and planning cycle in MRP 1 view with example as i am not able to understand the SAP definition
    Regards,
    Phalgun Patel

    Phalgun,
    Planning time fence is a standard planning concept.  Here is SAP's version
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/92/bf029544bd11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    Also, from SAP help
    Outside of the planning time fence, procurement proposals are created as usual in the planning run. When these procurement proposals move into the planning time fence, they are firmed automatically depending on the setting of the firming type.
    I don't think I explain it any more clearly.
    'Planning Cycle' can refer to several different concepts.  Can you quote the difinition you are finding difficult to understand?

  • Capacity levelling Auto release at planning time fence

    Is it possible to have a background report run which will convert process orders to released process orders when they reach the planning time fence?  I can set planned orders to release when converted to process orders automatically but this is not what i want as it removes any flexibility in CM29 plans.  I don't know how to set this up and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how i could do this.  Thanks.

    Hi Sam,
    to do what you ask, you need a custom report (Z).
    I do not know standard report that do this.

  • Scheduling Agreement & Planning Time Fence

    Hello,
    I read a lot of articles on Planning Time Fence and the MRP Types P1 to P4 that goes with it. And I have tested it out in a Testing Environment.
    But I can't get it to do what I need.
    This is a normal planning with no PTF and MRP Type PD.
    Sometimes we have false requirements that show up in the past due to human error. When this happens, MRP rolls during the night and adds a bunch of deliveries in the past to cover the requirement.
    I wanted to use the PTF to prevent this. Meaning that extra deliveries would get added by MRP but after a PTF and not Firm deliveries. So that once the error is corrected, MRP rolls again and deleted all the extra deliveries it added.
    ** Only P2 and P4 adds deliveries after the PTF, but I need it to act normal on a day to day basis aswell and have MRP create deliveries like the print screen above. To add non-Firm deliveries after the PTF is just in rare cases of human error.
    Not sure if my explanation is clear.
    Patricia

    Hi Patricia,
    The planning time fence is there to stop MRP from making changes to requirements that fall within the planning time fence.
    Your planning time fence is a rolling period which shifts by 1 day each day and is calculated as of the current date. Yesterdays date is passed so it would not make sense for a planning time fence to use a date in the past to start it's calculation.
    Everything that falls before the end of the planning time fence will not be changed by MRP and you will see that all these schedule lines in MD04 will have an * assigned meaning they are firmed for MRP.
    If you manually add schedule lines in the past, the planning time fence will not stop you from doing this. The planning time fence will only stop MRP from making changes.
    By the way:
    If you manually add requirements to the scheduling agreement then MRP will never change these requirements as these are fixed requirements.
    If your customer would add requirements in the past or you add independent requirements in the past and your current stock does not cover the requirements the system will generate schedule lines and will put these directly after the planning time fence with an exception message assigned to them.
    As a side note:
    I always wonder why such questions arrive in the forum as this is something that can be very easily tested in the test environment.

  • Link Planning time fence with planning calendar

    Hello,
    In MD04 transaction, we can see the planning time fence lign. In my system, the planning time fence lign is calculated based on the plant calendar (SCAL transaction).
    But, we will like to calculate the planning time fence based on the planning calendar (MD26 transaction) and not on the plant calendar.
    I mean, when I close a period in the planning calendar (MD26), I want that the system establish the new planning time fence lign based on the planning calendar.
    Does anyone know if it's possible? If yes, how should I do ?
    Best regards,
    Gwen

    Hello Gwen
    The planning time fence is always calculated according to the factory calendar defined at plant level.
    If you are using a periodic lot-sizing procedure with a time fence, system may generate replenishment proposals outside the planning calendar dates, especially if you are using a goods receipt processing time. If you want to make sure that the dates will be always according to the planning calendar, you may check the following modification note:
    397870
    MOD:Procurmt propsls on non-dely date due to plng time fence
    If you want to create your own logic to calculate the time fence, you may use the BAdI MD_MRP_PARAMETERS.

  • MD04 - Planning time fence for materials that are planned externally

    Hi,
    I have to develop a report in R/3 which will pick up values from MD04 (for a particular material/plant combination) and show the output in ALV grid of materials which are not planned in R/3 but APO.
    It should also show the planning time fence.
    For example, if i goto MD04 in R/3 and enter a material-plant combination which has MRP type X0 (external planning), it doesnt show me the planning time fence.
    This value/row has to be picked up from APO.
    Any idea how to go about it and what are the Function Modules I should use or is there any alternative for this ?
    Regards,
    Anand.

    Hello Anand,
    Try looking at user exit in MD04 that can change the values in MD04. Then, check for material-plant type of the order. If it is X0, call RFC to APO function module to read the information you want.
    I have develop before a report in R/3 that read the correct time of an order in APO to be displayed in R/3.
