SNP Capacity plaaning scenario with planning products

Hello APO Experts,
I have come across a capacity planning scenario in metal industry.
Suppose the machine is producing sheets of thickness ranging 2mm thickness to 8mm thickness. There are three groups as shown below P, Q, R,
These individual product orders are loaded on Resource: W100
Groups                                                          Limited Capacity In Tons          Individual products   Planning product
Group P: Less than 2 mm                                      75                          a1, a2, a3, a4, a5                       P
Group Q: From 2mm to 4 mm                               100                           b1, b2, b3, b4, b5                     Q
Group R: From 4mm to 8mm                                 325                         c1, c2, c3, c4, c5                        R
The total sheets produced in one day 500.tons All the groups should be producced on daily basis in the sequence of P,Q,R. Limiting the capacity given above. In SNP planning , I would to limit the capacity based on the basis of planning products.
The planned orders will be coming for Individual products that are a1, a2, a3, a4.
In SNP planning run, the quantity of Individual orders should be sum up at the group level.
For Group P : a1, a2, a3 u2026. Sum up and the quantity should be checked for Capacity of 75 tons order quantity.
For Group Q : b1, b2, b3u2026. Sum up and the quantity should be checked for capacity of 100 tons order quantity.
Like wise for Group R : c1, c2, c3u2026. Sum up and the quantity should be checked for capacity of 300 tons order quantity.
I want to use the planning product concept to model this scenario. P will be the planning product for a1,a2,a3....
Q will be the planning product for b1,b2,b3....
Following master data created : Material master , BOM , routing for individual products. Material master for planning product. Planning product updated in the material master of individual products in MRP view.
Please let me know , your suggestions for use of planning product scenario with capacity check on product group level.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,

Ravindra,
So, you are saying you are unconcerned about consumption of independent demand, and unconcerned about performing ATP against a forecast, which are the main feature of a planning product? You are only interested in how your supply elements and capacity consumption is aggregated/disaggregated? If this is the case, I don't understand why you would wish to use Planning materials. Based on what little you have told us of your requirements, I would think that Product Hierarchies would be more suitable......

SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement?

Hello experts, I want to know if the combination of SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement is possible? or if there any limitation to consider? Our client needs to create purchase requisition in ERP -> send this purchase requisitions to SRM (as shopping carts) create bids - > quotations - > create contract from accepted quotations and then from the contract we need to create purchase order but this one must be created in ERP (classic scenario) Someone has experimented the same situation? Best regards and thanks for your Help.
Liam

Hi Lima ,
Classic scenario wont support PPS .
        - Stand alone and classic scenario not supported
        - Shopping cart renamed to Purchase Requisition
        - Shopping cart generate (pre)commitment in funds management
        - Contract can create Funds Reservation (Earmarked Funds) in Funds Management as a Guarantee
        - Goods Receipt and Invoice created in ERP
        - Mixed PO: PO with lines that works like contract lines, a PO can be created from these lines
        - PO created from contracts or mixed-PO is named call-off PO. Only is a new name, is a "normal" SRM      PO
        - Goods receipt possible in SRM only in "easy" cases
Thanks & Regards

Consumption with CDP by using planning product

Hi all
I use product A, with planning product B mainteined in MRP3 and transfered to APO as hiearchy PLANNING PRODUCT. The consumption works in APO if I do not use descriptive characteristics (material, plant, customer).
If I use descriptive characteristics consumption do not work. I mean, problem is here:
Each consumption group has mandatory characteristics 9AMATNR and 9ALOCNO. The characteristics 9AMATNR for real product and planning product is not the same and teherefore the consumption do not work.
Do you have any experience or idea? Is it possible ti use CDP forecasting consumption with planning material scenario?
Thanks
Pavel

Hi Stefanos,
What you are doing is absolutely right.. However, I want to ask a few question..
1. Are the characterestic values included in the filter ? ie. If you want to change for Country: UK, is UK present in filter?
2. Are there any other characteristics that you have not included in the function and are getting changed by chance ? Like you might need to include 0fiscyer in To Change if you are assigning 0Fiscper.
3. Write a small FOX function with hardcoded values to check if the system is accepting the values or not..
It should work.. Please write back in case you need more help..

Planning Product

Hello,
Could anybody please explain me when and how the "planning with planning product" option should be used in APO? Also, can somebody confirm me if strategy 40 is supported in SNP? My understanding is that planning with planning product- strategy 60- is only supported by DP.
thank you all!.

Hi,
APO SNP does not support planning with standard strategy 40 ( Planning product) .
APO SNP only supports strategy 10( anonymous make-to-stock prdocution ) and 20 ( Planning with final assembly).
APO demand plannig is used for generating forecast statistically and then processing for arriving at a consensun demand plan.

Planning in APO with configurable products

Dear Gurus
we would like to use APO DP in order to plan the demand of configurable products managing the demand figures only for a combination of the two main products characteristics (model/version) without having in DP all the complexity of the order configuration.
Moreover we would like to allocate this forecast to the plants and make a rough capacity planning. The levelled forecast (MPS) should then be used to explode the dependent demand of the critical components at SKU level.
In order to manage this process I was thinking to introduce u201Cdummy codesu201D that represent the charatteristics combination and u201Cdummy BOMu201D for the explosionu2026. This in order to be albe to use SNP to perform the capacity planning and BOM explosion.
Other scenario could be to make the capacity planning and BOM explosion only in DP (with planning BOM) but Iu2019m not sure of the feasibilityu2026
Could you advise on which could be a possible approach and if you had such similar issue to face? Thanks in advance
Regards
Ayan Bishnu

Hi,
Here you may think of using planning product concept. Inshort you may plan on the basis of one of your critical subassembly
and this subassembly wud be consumed for most of the order demands.
Please check if it is suitable for you and revert

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..

SNP Capacity View: browsing by product

Hi,
I have a question related to the usage of the standard SNP capacity view SNP94(2). What I would like the users to be able to do is:
- select a resource and check the capacity consumption situation
- then drilldown into the products to be able to see which products are loading this resource
I've tried to do this, but it seems it doesn't work, that is, my header has two characteristics: APO resource (which is showing the currently reviewed resource) and APO product; however when I click on APO Product to see the list of underlying product nothing happens.
I had the impression reading I try to load the data in SNP capacity data view i,m getting the error that this is linked to the absence of certain key figures from certain aggregates. Can somebody confirm and maybe indicate a solution?
Best Regards
Jean-Louis

Hi,
First check in //RRP3, whether source assignment and resource name appearing correctly for the order. as such only SNP orders ( with APO application 4 ) will be displayed in data view. if you want to display PPDS orders also you have to modify the aggregates at //MSDP_ADMIN.
In data view after loading the resource you can see the capacity consumption values in TOP grid and order values in Second grid.
If you drill down by Header --> APO product --> capacity consumption values based on the product will appear.
If you click on display dependent objects ( icon ) by product / PPM --> respective orders will appear. After drilldown you can create new order also.
you can select existing order and right click to display order details .

Capacity Consumption in SNP Capacity Planning Book

Hi,
Can someone let me know how the Capacity Consumption KF(9ACACON) is calculated in the SNP Capacity Planning Book.
No macor is associated with the KF. But when i load the data in specific to a resource it gives me some value in the Capacity Consumption KF.
Is there any option to identify the calculation logic of this KF ?
Regards
BVN

Hi
There is no formula as such, it depends on the master data settings in your resource. In transaction /sapapo/res01 you can display the Capacity but how exactly depends on what type of resource you are using and how the capacity is calculated, basically you can have:
Time-Continuous capacity
PP/DS Bucket Capacity
SNP Bucket Capacity
And they can also have different values!
For the SNP View it should be using the SNP Bucket Capacity, so if you click on this tab in your resource master data it should have a field "Bucket Definition" which can either be from Continuos Capacity or be maintained separately. If you click the button "Bucket Capacity" it should show you the current values you have.
If it is from Cont Capacity then click that tab and see the start, end and break times there.
To add a little confusion, you may also have several variants of capacity, the active variant is on the General Data tab, this is the capacity variant that should show up as standard capacity in your planning book.
There is more to it all than this but hopefully that should help answer your qeustion.

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.

REM with Co-Product scenario.

Dear Friends,
Can we use REM with Co-product scenario? In CO-PRODUCT scenario, while creating the production order I am getting 2 line items in the settlement rule (one for the main item and another for the co-product). During GR w.r.t. order, system is proposing 2 materials with 101 movement. But in case of REM, system is creating single line item in the settlement rule. System is posting the co product also as by-product using the 531 movement only not as 131 movement. Hence clarify me... whether can we use co-product scenario along with REM or not??? Please note that I have used the same source structure.
If you need any further clarification, please let me know.
Regards,
Surya.

Hi
CO Product scenario won't work in REM SCENARIo, Because Setllement is not an order based, Its a period based.
SAP WON"T recommended the coproduct scenario in REM. So please change the scenario to discrete or PP-PI for that material.
Pls refer the link for further clarification

Reconfigure issues in EPMA with hyperion products(essbase,HFM,Planning)

Hi All,
Reconfigure issues in EPMA with hyperion products(essbase,HFM,Planning,calc manager,etc.,)
I have created new schema for foundation and one more schema for all other hyperion products and try to reconfigure but i unable to configure and all components are not shown in some hyperion products( in workspace in administer im unable to see classic application, in essbase im unable to see all application...).
as per my understanding im unable to see *"Registerd with shared services"* for each products in the final stages of configure.
Please try to know that what may be the cause.
Thanks & Regards,
Kittu.

I can't answer the Import profile, though could you expand on

In planning i was not able to import Security and planning units. Can you please help?Are you trying to import access permissions using LCM ?
If you are importing security into a target application then I believe that the users will need to exist in the tables before you do so.
I would run the provisionusers.cmd or go into the planning app and go to provision dimension security and click migrate identities.

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.

Is Yosemite compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software like Prinergy Workflow?

Is the new OS 10.10 system compatible with Kodak production planning and workflow software? like Prinergy Workflow (incl. the Workshop and Workspace user interfaces as well as the ColorFlow and Preps Client) and Prinergy Evo Client,

Steven,
Thank you for your quick reply and information there in. The video is very nice too. Great angles and composition.
So I guess, I'm going to have swap my drive and re-install my OS when the machine arrives.
I'm not going to be able to capture directly to my desktop (due to poratability reasons). So is there I way in Premire CS3 to uncompress the HDV from the camera and store it in my HDD in uncompressed format? I don't mind having to do this extra step each time if the post production experience is going to be better.
I've heard a lot about Aspect HD from you and others here as well as other forums. I'm not very video savvy yet and don't understand a lot of the vocabulary used :). I've been to their website and don't get what their products are supposed to give me either (I guess their audience understands exactly what they are saying).
What I do get is it decompresses the MPEG 2 to saves it to yout HDD for editing purposes. However, I would have thought the Premier Pro CS3 would have that capability as part of the product, no?
I'd also like to use footage that is not HDV as well as photos/images (composits) but still retain the final cut to be HDV quality. Is this possible and if so, what does it do to the editing experience/performance?
Will I be able to output the final cut back to my camera's Mini DV tape (without having to buy Aspect HD)?

SNP Capacity view - Wrong Capacity consumption

Dear All,
Our client facing this critical issue..
In our scenario we have SNP and PPDS are using for planning, issue is related SNP Capacity view..
PPDS orders (firmed planned order, process orders) are not reflecting properly in SNP Capacity view , issues are we can put it into two category
Category 1
We are running PPDS planning run for 3 week , at every Wednesday , after the PPDS planning run, if you check in PPDS DS board or Resource utilization report, we can see the resource are consumed say 87%, but when we you check the same in SNP Capacity view you may see only 60% or like, from the detailed analysis it came to know that some of the products are reflecting in SNP Capacity view, this is only with PPDS planned order or process orders , SNP planned orders are consumed properly in SNP Capacity view (this analyzed with respect to deployment view, (PPDS order also reflecting properly in Deployment view) ( Production confirmed)) because of this wrong data user not able to take proper decision from SNP Capacity view.
Category 2
Scenario is same as previous one, here some time later (say for example next day) some of the products are reflecting in SNP Capacity view. This occurring randomly.
Can any one guide me , what would be the reason for this
From our end we done following activities
1)analyzed the master data didn't find any issue
2) Constancy check done for LiveCache and Planning area
Thanks in advance
Sunny

Functionality of APO SNP capacity levelling

I am using APO V5.1 SNP capacity levelling.
When capacity levelling runs on a given resource and tries to move planned orders, does it respect the relevant lot size parameters defined for a product?
Thanks for any advice on this...

Hi,
In APO SNP , Capacity leveling takes into account lot size data that is defined in the master data(Product Master) with following restrictions:
It takes into account fixed lot sizes, maximum lot sizes, and minimum lot sizes.
However, the system does NOT considet period lot sizes or lot sizes from PPMs/PDS.
Further to the above, the capacity leveling method that you choose controls the way in which the system takes into account lot sizes.
If we choose heuristic-based capacity leveling, the system uses the same rules as for the SNP heuristic when taking lot sizes into account; and
if we choose optimization-based capacity leveling, the system uses the same rules as for the SNP optimizer.
Hope this gives you insight.
Regards
Datta
