Strategy Group 25

Dear experts,
I am using strategy group 25 (Make to order with variant configuration).i have some variant materials and also some non variable materials i.e. sub assemblies/Roh
Scenario: Created a sales Order .MRP run has been carried out . Procurement starts. While testing I observed that the for most of the materials even though we have stock system instead of creating reservation and consuming the existing stock , it has created planned order for semi finished components.
With this strategy is it not possible to consume the exiting stock , in the absence of the stock system, should create procurement proposal .Please let me know , if I am missing anything in master data or in configuration.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
This is essentially a make-to-order stock. It means that, for the finished product, you will not consider the existing stock.
For the components, however, you can control if the will be linked to the sales order stock using the individual/collective setting of the material master. If you set the value 2, system will plan the components as MTS and it will consume the existing stock before creating a new replenishment proposal.

Transfer of data from R/3 to APO for strategy group

Hi,
Can we transfer materials from R/3 to APO that donot have R/3 strategy group 10, 40, 50, 60, 70?
I am trying to transfer a material with MRP type Z4. Everything else is maintained properly but the material doesn't show up in APO. The plant is transferred, the setting in CFC9 is 2 and the no blocks in SMQ. I tried CFP1 as well but it not even collected there. The message type CIFMAT is checked and ALE change pointer checked in BD 61.
Thanks.

Hi
Just to recheck what you have written, Planning without final assembly should be Proposed Strategy 30 in APO. Has the config in your APO system been amended or did you mistype?
If it was strategy 70 in R/3 then there is a note which would have been relavant I think:
[Note 711107 - Transfer strategy group 70 to SAP APO without manual changes|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/711107]

MRP exception message 64 and planning strategy group 52

Hi Gurus,
I have done extensive search online in the forum to find the route cause why we are getting MRP exception message 64 for a specific material in one of our plants. This exception message does not occur for the same materials which is also produced in another plant.
I was just wondering whether the planning strategy group of 52 in MRP 3 view would have any effect on the frequent occurrence of exception message 64. I know that the 64 message occurs when the routing time is higher than the in house production time. If that's the case where to look for in routing to correct this, apart from this do we need to look at work centers and other details. I'm not a PP person but still was curious to know see if i could take a shot at it.
Also the MRP settings that we follow in the plant where this problem does not occur is NETCH, Create PR - 2, Schedule lines - 3, create MRP list - 1, Planning mode - 3, scheduling -2
in the plant where the 64 message occurs quite often is Netch, Create PR -2, Schedule lines - 3, create MRP list - 1, planning mode - 1, Schdeduliing - 1
I was thinking do MRP settings and planning strategy group would have any impact on why we are getting the 64 wexception message
Because of this 63 exception message, the downstream components are getting wrong signals.
Thanks
Ravi

Hello Ravi
Generallt, exception message "64 - Production finish after order finish" is triggered when the order start date is in the past and system automatically changes to forward scheduling to calculate the finish date.
Note 1913017 explains how the order basic date is calculated and adjusted in case of forward scheduling, however, you are using strategy 52 and this is a very special scenario, whever VP planned orders are generated.
The VP planned orders will always be adjusted to the requirements date even if the requirements date is in the past. This is a special feature in the planning segment, since these orders are only kind of 'virtual' planned orders. These orders only have to provide the demand requirements for the components in time.
Therefore, there is a relationship between strategy 52 (VP planned order) and the exception message observed.

Different strategy Group

Dear PP Gurus ,
I m created a Material No with Strategy group 50 .
Then i m created Plan Number For This Material using MD61 Tcode .
Then i m created Planned Order also for This material.
Both the Values, Plan Number And Planned Order number Are Stored in Plaf Table .
But i m created Another Material Number with strategy group 10 Means , In Plaf table Only Stored Planned Order Number .
Plan Number is not Updated .
Why Plan Number is Not Updated in Plaf Table ?
Anythink Mistakes From ABAPer Or Functional .
Explain Me.....
Warm Regards ,
GJ

Hi
This is standard functionality and not an error.
Strategy 50 is related to MTO type of production.
Planned independent requirements that are planned using this particular strategy 50 are listed in a separate segment in the MRP list. The planned orders are created with the order type VP and are unconvertible. The sales orders for this strategy are entered as individual customer requirements and are maintained in a separate segment in the planning run.
Strategy 10 is related to MTS type of production and Planned orders can be used interchangebly for any requirement. For this reason plan number is not updated in PLAF table.

Independent requiement is not comsumed in strategy group 10

HI Gurus,
My material is maintained as :
Strategy group :      10      Make-to-stock production
Consumption mode     2    backward anf forward
Indenpendent requirement is created as LSF.
in MD04, it shows like below:
stock                            5
IndReq   LSF     20-       15-
CusOrd xxx      1-         16-
Reqtype of Cusord is KSL.
after i finish PGI, it shows like below:
stock                            4
IndReq   LSF     20-       16-
So i have two questions:
1:why the indReq is not consumed.
2:how to control when to cosume inreq , when sales order is created or when PGI is done?
BR,
Dragsky

Hi
In strategy 10 PIR is consumed when delivery is done against sales order.
This is controlled at the time of definition of MRP strategy IMG->PP->Demand Mgmt->PIR->Planning strategy. by assigning requirement class to the strategy.
For st 10 requirement class is 100. for consumption following options are available
No consumption with customer requirements
Consume planning with assembly
Consume planning w/o assembly
Consume planning material (w/o assembly)
for 100 option 0 is maintained which is standard sap setting not recommended to change. If you need a different behaviour you can create a new rer class and strategy as per your need.

System raising planned order for PIR using strategy group 50

Hello Everyone,
Here I am planning to use strategy group 50 for the finished product. I have given PIR Qtys for the same and when MRP is run system is automatically raising planned orders of order type LA. Which means the same can be converted to production order and I am able to convert the same.
But as I understand with strategy group 50, you can convert planned orders to production orders only if sales orders exist and
Dependent requirements for lower levels are thrown and can be manufactured but not header material.
So I am not sure why this is happening. Or is strategy group 50 not supported for AFS.
Please do provide inputs.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hello Aji Kurian Mani ,
Currently, AFS is designed to support only strategy group 40.

PS Material Strategy Group as 21 - reg

Hello,
For PS materials we are using planning material strategy group as 21.
Could you explain this clearly???????
purpose and need of 21 while running project MRP???
Speciality of 21 apart from other strategy groups(10,40 and etc)??
pls help me in this regard,,,,,
Regards,
Prakash.
Reward points for useful answer.............

Hi,
Strategy group of the material determines the requirement class of the material which inturn determines the account assignment, consumption account, special stock, etc.
Strategy group 21 is hard-coded for requirement class 80 which is for MTO project stock.
Quote from SAP documentation:
Quote begins:
"SAP has predefined strategy group 21 (with strategy 21) for the link
between sales documents and projects.
Notes:
If you do not maintain the strategy group for the material in the sales
and distribution document item, you cannot assign that item to a WBS
element.
Alternatively, you can assign the strategy group to a material using MRP
group 0021 (also predefined).
Requirements Classes
SAP has predefined requirements class 80 with account assignment
category D (assignment to WBS element) for the link between projects and
sales and distribution documents. Requirements class 80 is assigned to
strategy 21 using requirements type KP (also predefined).    "
Quote ends:
Hope you find the information useful.

Strategy group 50

Hello Every one,
In my current client I was planning to use strategy gorup 50 but I found some issues about which I was wondering whether anyone could provide clarity.
I am using strategy group for finished product (header material). I have given PIR Qtys for the same and when MRP is run system is automatically raising planned orders of order type LA. Which means the same can be converted to production order and I am able to convert the same.
But as I understand with strategy group 50, you can convert planned orders to production orders only if sales orders exist and

Dear,
please check IN MD62 for that material, check the requirement type? It won't be VSE. for startergy 50, PIR requiremnt type should be VSE,
Reason may be
In MD61 - Check - are you maintained any user parameter in requirement type in MD61

Strategy Group

Hi,
My client is using Strategy group 00 (No Planning/No requirement transfer) and MRP type as M0 for a FG. So will the FG be considered for planning..?? What is the Logic in maintaing like this..??How will the system consider for planning if it is to be considered.
Regard's,
Uday.

Hi,
Material will be taken for planning based on MRP type and Strategy group,
MRP type for EX PD, M1 etc will be used to assgined the type of MRP planning to be done.
MRP strategy group will help further in comparing the demand, for ex Make to stock (10), Make to Order (20), final Assembly planning etc.
(40)
So it is important to maintian both MRP type and Strategy group for MRP run.
Pl gothro the online help file for further details.

Withdrawal using strategy group 10

Hi Dear SAP Expert,
I have the follow scenario:
I using strategy group 10 in some material to create demand for them and only reduce this demand by Sales Order, just I have a case for two material where demand was reduced. after check if it was created some sales order for this material I did not found none.
It is possible to create withdrawal by other process that it is not sales order using strategy group 10?
How can find what o how this demand was reduced?
Is there some report to show withdrawal for material?
Example:
Material    147420311          STATIC CONVERTER(TV)-G5E
Plant       TVSO   Reqmts type LSF Version/active PP /    ReqPlanNo.      SRVC
Plan. qty                  30 EA                          MRP area

Hi Mario,
FIrts,
Thanks for answer soon :).
You rigth, withdrawal it is done by GI from delivery I wanted to say that, then this GI delivery is from a sales order, rigth?
I know that it can be GI from Production Ordrer, but when we use strategy 10 withrawal will be done by GI delivery from sales order, according with sap help.
Just I am invetigatiing why I have a withdrawal if I have not any delivery for this material.
And I use Transaction MD63 to see demand for this material and I see withdrawal reduce on Schedule line tab on this view. just I want to know what or how was reduced demand if I have not any GI delivery.
I have this issue only with a couple material, all them are working properly.
just I have compared those a couple material with other that are working fine but I do not see diference on its configuration on material master.
Could you advice me on this pls? get a address to follow?
I appreciate you great a attention!!
Best Regards,
Julio

Strategy group in Mrp

Hi all,
can someone prcisely tell me wat is the use of strategy group in mrp4 of MMR n how will it fetch requirement type in to sales order.n wat is the use of it.n y do we assign mrp group to strategy group with practical example.n while configuring strategy group ive seen requirement class is in display mode.how to configure this with our own zvalues.
*please do not give any links or do copy pastes.please share the answer if u ve used it real time scenarios.
thnx a lot in advance
anil

Hi Anil,
I know little bit about strategy group that thing only Iam explaining you.
The strategy group determines the planning strategy of a material production.
Example :- 1.If you put strategy group as 20 in the strategy group field the system will trigger the Make to order planing strategy to produce the material.
In the Make to order strategy system will make plan to produce a material after getting the requirement in the form of the sales order, here sales order will trigger the production order.
Make to order strategy will be used when the materials are customer specific.
2.If you put strategy group as 10 in the strategy group field system will trigger the make to stock planning strategy to produce that material based on the other configuration in IMG.
Make to stock means producing the material without respect to Demond, it will be based on the past sales.
Based on Availability check and Transfer of requirements configuration in IMG, these requirement will trigger at sales order level.
I hope it will help you

Murali.

Need help on Sales Order Strategy Group 20.

Hi PP Gurus,
Could anybody please help me out of this problem?
Strategy group 20 is for purely MTO scenario. I know the execution part including most of the possibilities in PP module but I'm not that much aware regarding Costing part for it. Could anybody please focus somewhat on costing part required for it like
1. Sales order costing only required or Periodic or Order based costing also solve the purpose in general?
2. What will be the impact if we go for Sales Order Costing?
Since we are using here REM environment.
Please come with prompt comments.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi,
Since your scenario is MTO, so sale order costing is the most suitable one. It is better to run the sale order costing for each & every sale order. It is similar like the standard cost estimation and EK02 condition type will bring the value in sale order pricing. This condition type you need to define in the requirement class.

Make-to-Order, Assembly, Strategy Group 82

Dear All.
Wanted to see if anyone knows or has tried creating a BoM for a product that has strategy group 82 so the production order is automatically created from the sales order, AND that item having a BoM component which is a sub-assembly with it's own BoM with that component material having strategy group 82 as well so it automatically creates the production order too?
Right now the top item is working fine and automatically creating a production order, but the component is not automatically creating a production order?
Ideas?
Is this possible?
other solutions?
Many Thanks,
Devon

Devon,
I have never tried that. I would be very surprised if creation of a production order could be made to create another production order of a component, based solely upon a strategy group.
I have never tried it, but you might look at using special procurement type 52 for your components (collective order). Worth a try. Collective orders, though, bring their own set of restrictions.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/b1/c0500c439a11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
There might be some workaround possibilities, depending on your business requirements. Maybe let MRP create the planned orders at the lower level, and then immediately create a production order via standard program immediately following the MRP run.
Your requirement could possibly be met in APO using Multilevel Availability Check (MATP).

Planned order link for Strategy group 40

Dear All,
We are creating sales order for a material which is having strategy group 40. Requirement Type KSV is determined in the sales order. Let us assume that we don't have stock for this material. After MRP run, planned order has been created for sales order qty. Now I want to get planned order number for sales order at table level or any using any FM to use Z report. I can check the planned order number in MD4C by giving sales order number in the input screen but I want to know where and how to get the link for Z report. Please any one help me out on this.
Thanks in advance,

any idea/update on this.....

Strategy group / Availability check

Hi Gurus,
When availability check is assign during material creation in MRP3 view, by defaul SAP assign the same one in Sales: General/Plant view. I understand that this is the same field on plant level (MARC-MTVFP)
In my mind, the first one (in MRP3) will be used to determine MTO, MTS and so one.
The second one (in Sales) will be used during sales order creation for availability check.
Is there a relation between both?
Moreover which is the link between availability check and the strategy group?
I'm quick lost to know which I need to use on sales side, on production side because for a same availability check you can have more than one checking rules (one for SD order, one for PP...). Each one can be different.
A best practise could not be to have similar criteria for all checking rules of the availability check?
Thanks.
Stéphane

Hi,
Availability check in the MRP3 View of the Material master is nothing but checking Group.
( 01- Daily requirements ,02- Individual requirements and so on )
You allocate the checking group to the material in the material master under the availabilty check field in the MRP data screen.
If you have not maintained a checking group for a material, the material will not be checked for availability.
Checking Rule : In this step, you can define checking rule for applications:
    o   Sales and distribution
    o   MRP
    o   Production order processing
Scope of Check : Checking group and Checking rule together specify the scope of the check.
which inward goods movements and which outward goods movements are to be included in the availability check
which stocks are to be included in the availability check
whether the check should take into account the replenishment lead time.
whether the availability should always be checked at plant level.
Strategy Group:
The planning strategy represents a procedure for planning a material and is technically controlled via the requirements types. With the help of the planning strategy, the material is automatically assigned the correct requirements type in demand management and in sales order management.
o   The planning strategy represents a planning procedure for planning a material.
It is defined by one of the following:
    -   a requirements type from demand management
    -   a requirements type from sales order management
    -   a combination of both that makes sense
o   Strategy group
    You use the strategy group to group together all the valid planning strategies. Thus, more than one planning strategy can be allowed for a material.
In this section, you also see various control indicators for each planning strategy on the overview screen, for example:
o   consumption indicator (determines whether the requirements type in planned independent requirements and the requirements type in sales order management are consumed or whether sales orders increase the master plan, and so on).
o   availability check (determines whether the check is to be carried out according to ATP logic or as a check with planned independent requirements).
Hope it is useful to you.
Thanks
