Supply chain modeling of subcontraction process using SNP

Dear Experts,
I am in the phase of designing my supply chain business process in APO
We have two plants
Plant u2013 A (manufacturing )
Plant u2013 B (distribution center)
Subcontractors - for Plant A
Subcon-1
Subcon-2
Subcon-3
Subcon-4
Subcon-5
Subcon-6
Subcon-7
Demand planning /forecast is done on the basis of
Customer
Products
And Plant
When forecast is done in demand planning an send to SNP , system must give planned order on the basis of available capacity , low cost of production of the my subcontractor ,I believe I need to use SNP optimization
Does SNP Optimizer can serve my requirement
Also how do I need to define my subcontractor either as DC location or just a MRP area
Please do not hesitate to ask more details if you are not clear my requirement
Thanks & Regard
Raj

Hi Raju,
The Optimizer should serve your requirement as it considers the capacity constraints and can be used for finite planning. Regarding subcontracting location , you can map it as either a DC location or a Subcontractor location. Better way would be to map it as a subcontracting location. Mapping it as just MRP area would not serve as you want it to consider during the finite planning runs for optimizer.
Let me know if it helps

PDS are not displayed in supply chain model SCC07

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to add PDS to supply chain model (transaction SCC07)? currently i don't see this option (we are not using IPPE in the ECC).

Hello,
You can not see PDS in SCC07. Note that PDS are not even part of the menu.
You can also see that the SAP Help does not mention PDS in the documentation of the Supply Chain Engineer (SCC07):
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/4c/e1af376ed96c21e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm?frameset=/en/40/f5ae37fdcf3…

Assign PDS to Supply Chain Model

Hello APO folks:
I have successfully CIFed PDS over to APO (SCM 5.0), and checked it in transaction /SAPAPO/CURTO_SIMU - Display Production Data Structures, Was wondering how do I allocate this PDS (PP/DS type) to my supply chain model in SCE.
Thank you in advance.
Mono

Hello Mono,
As I know there is no standard way in which you can copy the PDS data from one version to another for simulation in APO.
but, this can be achieved by using transfer of the PDS data to inactive version from R/3. i.e in transaction CURTO_CREATE by specifying the inactive version.
The second way can be by using BAPI_PDSSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI to save a new PDS by specifying the version field with the inactive version.
In this case one can fill the tables using report FUNCTION_LOADER_INLAY or can be filled manually.
for the first case, I do not know why you are facing the message "No Transfer Relevant Data found".
Please check whether you have specified the inactive version name which has been created for simulation in APO.
and also try to create a new production version in R/3 and use this for inactive version transfer.
As you observe Simulation version is unique across the models. and you cannot use the same version name in different models.
hence, only the version field exists in the CURTO_CREATE transaction.

Hemanth

PDS,PPM,supply chain model,production version in R/3

Dear Guys,
can some one help me to find the key difference between
1)PDS,PPM,Supply chain Model and production version in R/3
Thanks
Raj

One major difference between PDS & PPM is that PPMs can be edited in APO whereas PDS cannot be modified in APO. Any changes required for PDS needs to be done to the relevant R/3 master data and then CIFed to APO.
Choice PDS v/s PPM?
Functionally both are fine and can be used. However SAP recommends using PDS since it will not support any new enhancements for PPMs going forward. For some reason they want to encourage use of PDS rather than PPMs.

How to configure CVC automation process using SNP master data and BI customer master data

Hi Gurus,
How to configure CVC automation in MPOS structure technically, using SNP master data in CVC creation such as Product and location details
and in parallel extract date from ECC to BI customer master data in DP. Where-in a APO BI cube should have only new combinations which are to be validated with ECC and existing combinations in the MPOS structure before creation of CVC in different regions of MPOS.
Second the automation should also check certain validations of product, location and are part of SNP-ECC master data and are these new combinations.
Could someone guide us in this process.
Thanks
Kumar

Praveen,
The short answer is to move the data into infoproviders or flat files for all of the 'characteristic-type' source data; and then copy CVCs from the infoproviders into the Planning area, probably using one or more Process Chains (program /SAPAPO/TS_PLOB_MAINTAIN).
The long answer is that this is not a trivial undertaking; this could end up being a pretty involved solution. If you do not have enough BW/DP expertise available locally to create this solution for you, then I recommend you consider engaging external resources to assist you. I personally wouldn't even consider starting to work on such a solution without first knowing a lot more about the detailed business requirements, and about any existing solutions that may already in place. An SCN forum is not really suitable for such an answer. In my opinion, the BBP doc alone would be 20+ pages, assuming no enhancements..

Is it possible to optimize procurement using SNP

HI
Need advise on the following,for a trading company procure products from sources & deliver to the distribution centres,is it possible to optimise in SNP,i defined sources as production plants & destination points as disrtibution centres,defined supply chain model in Supply chain engineer,the output should be how sources should be allocated to destination & the quantity
pls suggest your point how we can model in SNP

Mobile supply chain planning

Where can i get details about oracle mobile supply chain planning?
Thanks in advance.
G.R.RAMESH

Dear Amr,
When dealing with Oracle concerning the planing process, we can use one of the following methods:
1- Traditional Planning (Forecast>MDS>MPS>MRP); this is the favor method when you have one organization setup in the system.
2- Oracle Supply Chain Planning method; this is used if you have more than one organization setup in the system; i.e. if you have distribution inventory organization, raw material inventory organization, and finished good inventory organization separates from each others.
3- Advanced Supply Chain Planning.
My question is how to setup the second type (Supply Chain Planning)? , any body has an idea?

Supply Chain Planning

Dears,
Any one has any document; rather than Oracle official docs, dealing with the supply chain planning not the traditional planning.
I deal with a situation, that is implementing oracle for an organization that has three separate inventory organizations; one for raw material, one for finished products and the last one is for the scrap.
From my own point of view the suitable implementation is use the supply chain planning. Please advice?

Subcontract Process with vendor supplied component

Hi,
We have a subcontracting process, when we send 3 components to the vendor, the vendor apply another component and return the semi finished to me.
I have a BOM of this semi finished Good that includes all the 4 components.
We sent the 3 components via mb1b.
We create a PO of the Semi Finished Good if we verified the components the 4 components are there.
When we try to receive via MIGO and click in verify The 3 itens that I send is OK ... But the item that is supplied by the vendor show me an error message that there is no stock.
What should I do to receive the component supplied by the vendor ?

Hello,
1. Create subcontracting with item category "L" and second line item in same PO enter with Item cateogroy means STD.
2. Item level of the Delivery address tab, tick SC Vendor and enter the same Vendor code there.
3.Go for GR for only for 2nd line item first. This stock will automatically picks 101 O Mvt, and u can view this stock as Vendor stock.
Check MMBE stock overview , Material is showing provided to Vendor at plant level.
4. Provide other 3 components with MB1B- 541 Mvt.
5. Go for second GR for finished Product.
4th Material shown as Material provided to Vendor in stock overview. if you want to get back that same material to your stock. reverse that stock use t code MB1B with help of Movement type 542.
Or else.
Through subsequnet settelement you can send the 4th Material to your subcontrcator MB04.

SNP resource overload alerts not appearing in Supply Chain Cockpit

I am using APO 5.1.
We use APO SNP for capacity planning, and can see various capacity overload alerts in the alert monitor.
But even though the Supply Chain Cockpit is linked to the correct alert profile, we do not see these alerts attached to the respective objects in the Supply Chain Cockpit.
Any ideas on why this should be?...

Hello,
If you want to use the Alert Monitor within the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC) in SAP APO, you must assign application-specific alert profiles to your SCC user profile. In the upper right area of the SCC, you can see the existing alerts for the applications.
Please look into the below link for more information:

Use of Supply Chain Engineer

Hi,
What's the use of Supply Chain Engineer (Tcode:/SAPAPO/SCC07)? Does the APO implementation project really needs it?
And let me know in which case do we generally use it.
- Ram.

Hi Ram,
This is fully integrated APO component for creating models
which performs planning functions which covers network
chain, supplier, customer.
We can use this functionality to create & maintain models
in a network in a typical supply chain. A model in turn can
link to various versions (both active and simulations).
We can also have an eye watch of supply chain elements
like various products, master data like lanes, quota, resources,
ppm etc.,
We can also use this tool to execute queries so that it comes
with information about individual data.

Product deletion using supply chain engineer

Hi all,
we need to delete a large number of products in APO. One way to do it is
1. delete all dependencies (master and transaction data)
2. set deletion flag (using massd)
3. run the programme /SAPAPO/DELETE_PRODUCTS
i just want to know if there is any way to delete large number of products using supply chain engineer? i have deleted dependencies and has set deletion flag but my client is insisting on deletion using supply chain engineer (god knows why)
does anyone know if this is possible? if yes, then please let me know how it can be done.

Hi ,
Yes correct.
If client insists, you can at the most use the SCE to delete the products from work area and model.
However for permanenet deletion you need to follow the steps you have given correctly given( last 2 out of 3 and first step 1 is required before you want to delete from the model).
I hope this will help to clarify.

Datta

Supply chain Planner - SNP

Dear Experts,
Have question regarding supply planner in SNP
what is the purpose of supply chain planner in APO , can i compare this SNP planner to MRP controller
if i compared can i have view like MD05 collective access in APO ?
what is the best practice to define and organize snp planner ?
Regards
Raj

Hi Rajkumar,
There is nothing like MD05 in APO.
In APO you can use /SAPAPO/RRP3 which is comparable with MD04, but there is nothing like MD05.
MRP controllers are CIF'd as Production Planner in APO.
If you want to CIF the SNP Planner, you will need to add some logic: use the Exit EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLCIF_PROD_001 in APO.
You can use the SNP planner in different reports / transactions:
/SAPAPO/RRP1
/SAPAPO/RRP4
/SAPAPO/SDP94
/SAPAPO/SNP94
/SAPAPO/AMON1 - Alert Monitor (previous using the SNP planner in a selection profile in a planning book)
/SAPAPO/SNP01 - SNP Planning Run (previous using the SNP planner in a selection profile in a planning book)
etc.. etc..
Kind Regards,
Mariano
