Supplier constraint in PPDS

Dear Experts,
We wanted to use supplier delivery component quantity to be hard constraint for scheduling/re-scheduling in PP/DS. Please can anyone throw light on this.
Thanks,
Moorthi

Hi,
Can you whether the Field "Planned Delivery time " in the Order categories to be rescheduled section in the Order processing tab page of the Optimizer profile suits your needs.
1. With this indicator during optimization system considers the Planned Delivery Time for all externally procured products
    (components/assemblies) that have shortages.
2. If you set this indicator and the system has already created external procurement orders, it then calculates the planned delivery
    time from these orders and considers this time during optimization.
Example:
The order for product A can begin if the necessary components B and C are available. During the calculation of the order start date for A, the system takes the planned delivery time of B and C into account, and de-expedites the order by the according number of days in the future.
Thanks,

How we define Supplier constraints in SAP APO SNP?

Hi
Customer is trading company and SNP optimizer is configured for sourcing optimization,Following are queries
How we can define Supplier constraints? Supplier constraints meaning Supplier is capable of supplying 5000MT how we model this and Minimum purchase need to happen from certain suppliers of quantity 2000MT,basically Quantity constraints need to be built in SAP APO SNP.
expecting some valuable inputs
Thanks
Poorna

Hi Poorna,
Please follow below steps to delete Product-Location combinations in APO:
1. In ECC, deactivate Integration model for Transaction data and master data of the Products and locations to be deleted from APO.
2. Check where used list from transaction WUF and delete dependent transaction data and Master data from APO. You may use /sapapo/rlcdelete and /sapapo/sdorder_del.
Also delete dependent Master data objects like CVC, PPM, Transportation lane, PDS etc. from APO
Ensure deletion of transaction data in all existing versions in the 000 Model.
3. Set the deletion flag for Product / Product-Location combination using transaction /sapapo/mat1
4. Once the transaction data & related master data is deleted and deletion flag is set, it is possible to delete the location-products by running the report /sapapo/delete_products
To delete Locations from APO:
Follow same steps as above. In cases of deletion of Locations, all products in that location should be deleted using the Product-Location deletion flag optionJust change the report in step 4. For locations, use report /sapapo/delete_locations
To answer your other question on change in location type, I think it is not possible to change once you CIF location master to APO.

Change Source of Supply determination during PPDS Planning Heuristic

Hi APO Gurus,
We are running PPDS for our Production Planning. In the PPDS run, when we have more than one source of Supply , system selects the Source of Supply based on Lot Size, Validity , Priority or Quota.
In our scenario, we want to change the Source of Supply selection criterion based upon our own logic. So, while executing the PPDS run, i am unable to find out any BADI or Exit is available or not which will do this job.
If anyone has worked in this before or any suggestation will be appreciated.
thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
BAdI /SAPAPO/RRP_SRC_EXIT, method RP_USEX_SOURCE_FILTER.

How to "roll back" SAP APO PPDS planning batch run from infeasible batch mid-point to before start of planning batch run?

Hi Experts,
We are investigating if any SAP customer that implemented SAP APO PPDS has ever attempted to establish a "roll back" of the SAP APO PPDS created supply plan to a defined point before the start of the SAP APO PPDS planning batch run?
We have a situation where - in the middle of the planning batch run - randomly or intermittent the batch run hangs or runs a step for multiple hours that normally, at most days, takes only a few minutes to run. In a situation like this, the supply plan is not in a state where customer sales orders can be promised (using GATP CTP) or planned orders can be converted to production orders and published to SAP ECC, etc since the plan may be capacity infeasible or simply partial or incomplete.   To not hold the business operations hostage to wait resuming operations (promise customer sales orders, convert and release and execute orders to transfer, deliver, produce, or purchase) for hours or days, we need to find a way back to the original plan right before the nightly PPDS batch planning job started.
We already close all the queues from ECC to APO, thus, no CIF traffic from ECC to APO. We also shut down the customer sales order feed into ECC as normal process for duration of the APO PPDS batch planning run. Thus, functionally, we are theoretically in a situation to simply go back to a PPDS and active planning version save prior to the run. Yet, many more technical and BASIS-related questions remain on how to roll back to a state where the plan was not compromised.
This inquiry is to learn if any other SAP customer has ever established a process to roll back SAP APO PPDS to a previous point in time supply plan to resume operations? Whatever the reasons are, be it after a failed batch run, or any time during the normal interactive plan day.
Additional information about our design and plan:
1. We have a two year horizon supply plan in PPDS
2. We only publish to ECC 14 days worth of planned orders, stock transfer requirements, and purchase requirements
3. We convert planned orders to production orders and release production orders in ECC 2 days before first operation starts
4. We convert PR's to PO's and STR's to STO's in ECC 2 days before execution (ship or submit to vendor)
Any indication where a SAP customer has developed and uses a process to roll back an SAP APO PPDS- planned supply plan to an earlier point in time or version would be helpful to know.

Manimaran M.

Hi Manimaran,
Saving in Simulation means in DS board when you click on save it provides you option to save sim version or adopt to active version. If you copy to inactive version you cannot copy back trasaction data specially PPDs orders back to active version again while if you save in simulation you can adope it to active version at any point of time. YOu can adopt simulation version changes to active version using T-code /SAPAPO/CDPSS0
Copying to active version means you copy data from version 000 to some other active version while here results are kept simulation,

Difference between PPM and PDS, PPDS and SNP

Hello Gurus,
I'am a beginer to APO so could you please let me know about the difference between PPM and PDS? Also the difference between SNP and PPDS/
giri

Production Version in ECC can be transferred to APO as:
PPM - Product Process Model or,
PDS - Product Data Structure
These form the basis master data for Planning in APO
SNP - Supply Network Planning & PPDS - Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling are two Modules in APO for planning purpose.

Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro - iCloud Apps become non-functional

Hi Everyone,
My new top of the range Macbook Pro has some issues... Here's the specs:
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
1TB Flash Storage
Arrived on Tuesday last week. Obviously very excited etc...
Noticed after 30 minutes that all my iCloud apps failing (under my account).
All the following apps fail to open with a beachball timeout
iMessages
FaceTime
iCloud (via System Preferences)
Maps
TextEdit (won't show any existing iCloud documents
Airplay
However oddly enough Calendar works.
It's currently with Apple Engineering who are yet to reply.
Now the weird bit.... If a create a new login account under the macbook and utilise my wife's iCloud (apple id) everything works perfectly.....
Apple are now in the process of sending me out a new machine since they're considering this one Dead On Arrival..However I've now got a 3 to 4 week wait due to 16GB ram supply constraints.. :-(
I've reinstalled Mavericks 4 times now and the same issues come back within about 30 minutes.
Very frustrating to spend that much money and have a non-functional computer..
Anyone else experiencing these issues?
Cheers.
Benjamin.

I can happily report now that the issue has been resolved.
Via the logs sent to Apple engineering the issue was found to be a conflict between iCloud contacts and Google contacts.
For some reason (a bug in Mavericks) even though I didn't tick the box for google contacts to come across to the MacBook, it turned itself (in Internet Accounts via sys pref) on when activating my mail (gmail).
I'll say it again. It turned the tick on internet accounts / gmail / contacts without me asking it to!
Also of note. If I had iCloud contacts turned off. After the 30 minutes iCloud contacts were also turned on. Very very weird behaviour!
The above meant that the Mac's contacts were syncing with iCloud and google. :-(
Why this issue affected all the other iCloud apps I'm not sure why. However it definitely did something! :-(
Resolution Path:
Go to Sys pref/internet accounts, select gmail and click the minus button. It prompts you if you want to delete from ALL associated machines. Click YES!
Only after confirming I wanted to do a remote delete of my iCloud internet accounts across ALL machines did the issue resolve itself.
It appears that iCloud and google contacts can't live (stay sync'd) together. Which of course was never my intention. I only wanted to use iCloud.
Doesn't explain why it failed internally but a resolution path was found :-)
The inbound replacement laptop has been cancelled accordingly.
My new MacBook is now running perfectly !!!
I hope the resolution path here posted may help others in the future if you encounter this issue!
Take care,
Bennie.

Adding Field in DS Planning Board

DS Planning Board Object Color Change according to Order Type etc.

Hi,
I want to differatiate the colors of the objects on the resource,
according to their certain propertis, for example order type,
But if they have the same status the sytem marks them on the same
color,
I went into the customizing for the BOARD Profile and color adjustments
but there are only certain criteria and I could not decide
which object type to which color,
Does anyone know anything about it?
Mehmet

Setting up the colour or Order (or actually Operations) can be quite a challenge.
Sugest you use the SAP standard, copy it and then change suitably.
Follow this in SPRO >> APO >> Supply Chain Planning >> PPDS >> DS Planning Board >> Maintain Planning Board Profiles
Here select the appropriate planning board profile, click on Chart. Select appropriate chart - like Operations chart will be a good choice.
Then double-click on the Decision Table for Graphical Objects, check the last mentioned Decision Group and Decisions.
That will have reference to Grpahical Object Id.
Pick up the Graphical Object ID and then double click Grpahical Elements from the left pane. Enter the Graphical Object Id (Planning Board Profile is already chosen).
Select the grpahical elements and click on the Detail button to see the Display Colour.
So if you need to change the Operations based on Order Type like Fixed, Deallocated, Created etc. then change the colour of the graphical object here.

Hi Burak,
In IMG, use the following menu path
SAP SCM Impl Guide --- APO --- Supply Chain planning --- PPDS --- Global settings --- Maintain Global parameters and values --- Under Planning Tab --- Activate fixed pegging.
This is universal setting for the entire client.
Hope this helps.

Horizontal Plan Suggestions and Calculations

Hi,
I am facing an issue in understanding the ASCP Horizontal Plan calculations for EBS ver 12.1.3.
I have made 1 FG Item, 1 RM Item and BOM of FG with component requirement 1 for 1 FG Item. Entered the Forecast of FG = 100 bucket type days.
Made 1 resource allocated to single department and on routing available 24 Hrs without shifts with usage 1 and assigned units 1. Means 24 units can be made in 24 hrs.
Now when i am launching the Resource constraint plan with no supplier constraint and wit no lead times option, the planner work bench is suggesting me batches with quantity 22 for 3 days and 21 for 1 day than 13 for 1 day. In horizontal plan the available hours are 24 but required hours shown are 22.
Can any one tell me on what basis the suggested Qty for Job is 22 or 21 though the available resource hours are 24. I am also perplexed in understanding the calculations of Horizontal Plan for the following Available Hours, Required Hours, Net Hours Available, Capacity Load Ratio for current day and for the proceeding days.
Also the Suggested Dates and Times shown are confusing.
Thanks in Advance

Farhan Ahmed

Can I get iPhone 5 without plan in USA

Can I get iPhone 5 without plan

No. Not that has been announced yet. When the 4S first came out, there was a delay of several months before it was possible to purchase one unlocked in the US. Most likely due to supply constraints.

MRP, MTS, MPS and MTO in DP

Hai,
Where do we use MRP, MTS, MPS and MTO in DP? Can somebody refer me to any documentation?
Thank you.

Hi Visu,
I never imagined your question came related to a DP job requirement. While technically these are not relevant for DP, but as a DP consultant you need to be aware of the concepts which are definitely more relevant on the supply side (SNP, PPDS).
"Character Based Forecasting (CBF) deals with variant configuration or nothing but MTO scenario right?" - you can argue that CBF is a functionality for MTO scenario especially when dealing with large variety of similar products.
"Also DP-BOM works with dependent requirements generated from BOM." - DP-BOM or Forecasting with BOM is a special functionality in DP to manage demand for a product which has both independent as well as dependent requirements. Please note it is not for generating dependent requirements only. Classic example - a speaker set that can be sold separately or as part of a packaged audio system. But then this is NOT MRP because we are talking about generating the demand only.
MRP is to generate net requirements for "components" after exploding the BOM for "finished item" and netting against stock to create relevant receipt elements (Purchase Req or Planned Orders).

ECC plan output seems to be wrong

I have following setup for one of the plan:
MDS
Item 1 day1 15
Item 1 day2 30
Item 1 day4 30
Item 1 day4 50
Item 1 day4 100
Supplier constraint for item1
day2 - day3 10 units
day4 - day6 1 unit
the plan is a ECC plan .Plan has given following out put :
demand supply
Item1 day1 15 pegged to 5 on day2 and
10 on day3
Item1 day2 30 pegged to 1 on day2 and
5 on day3 and
24 on day 7 (this is ok since some days are
holiday in between)
Item1 day3 180 pegged to 180 on day 7
question is as follows :
i) for the item1 demand on day1, why it has not pegged to supply of 10 on day2 and 5 in day3 supply ?? Why this is reverse case here ??
ii) For Item1 demand on day2 , why the extra supply capacity of supplier i.e 5 more units has been used and why the supply from day4 to day6 of quantity 1 unit/day has not been used ??

Abhishek,
Review your pegging controls in the plan option and related profiles. For a capacity constrained ASCP plan, you should be using priority based pegging. Adjust the supply and demand windows to the range of time that you want the system to sort and rank your supplies and demands. Also check your demand priority rule in the plan options. Assuming you are using date based priority for the demands, you will see these demands ranked accordingly. You can see the demand priority calculated by ASCP in each peg's 'properties'. The supplies within that window have an implicit ranking based on supply type (firm, then real supplies that are non-firm, then new planned orders).
For your supplier capacity question, check your profiles related to how supplier capacity is accumulated.
Regards,
Kevin

Which is the easy layout in swing that allows component setSize() ?

Hi,
I am new to swing, Can any body suggest me which one is the easiest layout to implement that allows setting height and width of components.
I have found that with layouts, setting component height and width do not work.
Thank you.

Using a LayoutManager and manually setting the size of components is to a large degree mutually exclusive.
It is the LayoutManager that determines the location and the size of the child components.
So, when using LayoutManagers, one only sets the size of the top level container. Its LayoutManager will do the rest, based on supplied constraints and the values that child components return on getPreferredSize, getMaximumSize and getMinimumSize.
You may influence these values by setting them explicitly on the child components.

Target Days of Supply in PPDS

Hi All,
I am trying to use the Target Days of supply with PPDS.
The documentation says it works but on my tests
it does not.
IN SNP it does work.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
T

Hi Mike,
I have setup the Target days supply settings in the material
master and I am using the planning of standard lots heuristic.
It works perfectly in SNP ... just not in PPDS.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks,
T
