Supply Parts Planning and CRM

Hello All ,
I need to identify which are the standard extractors (BI content ) for pulling Supply Parts Planning (SPP) data from SAP CRM into SAP BI . Please let me know if anybody has information on the same asap.
Thanks .

Hi Riddhi.  Did you mean to ask what are the standard extractors, if any, for pulling Service Parts Planning data from SCM, as opposed to CRM, mentioned in your original post?

  • Supplier and Supplier Part Number in standard report BBP_BW_SC3

    Hi All,
    There is requirement like to add new fileds ,Supplier and Supplier Part Number in standard report BBP_BW_SC3(copy to z version).
    From which table i can get these values in SRM system.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi Walter
    Thank you so much for your reply, which indeed helped us to a great extent.
    The solution works fine for my original example of A & B material. However, we want to find every combination of lower level material used in each rolled up material. In above example, if material B is used in C, and C used in D and D used in final product E.
    The suggested functional module explodes the header material as per itu2019s BoM, and follows Top-down approach, whereas we are looking forward to find a link which shows Bottom-Up approach i.e. where-used approach. In above example, we want to start from lowest level material A, then B, and C till final product E.
    Since the output of functional module has various fields so we are trying to find a field which helps up to establish the bottom-up approach for multilevel BoM materials.
    Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Service Parts planning through SAP

    Hi,
    We are looking for the right Parts planning solution for a company engaged in providing after sales service for branded products to various end customers across the country. The company is currently working on SAP R/3 4.7 and is in the process of implementing CRM 5.0 Field Service.
    Following is the business requirements in brief:
    Parts get mobilised from a Central Hub to several Regional Warehouses and from where it further gets distributed to the channel Partners who are actually carrying out the Service.
    (a) The business wants to fix a "Minimum Stock Level" for each Part at the Warehouses and Channel Partners. Apart from this, it wants to fulfill daily demand arising from the field as Service Calls. Currently there is an industry logic that has to use past Service Call details from CRM and compute Min Stk Level at the Channel Partner.
    (b) When requests for Parts come from several Channel Partners to a Regional Warehouse, the WH applies certain priority rules to allocate available stock to each of the requests (for ex: - First in First Serve, Rank of the Channel Partner etc.,) Initially WH fulfills daily demand and if there is surplus then Min Stock Levels are fulfilled.
    (c) Similarly, when several Regional WH places requests to the Central Hub (based on shortfalls arising after fulfilling Channel Partner's requirements), the Central Hub applies its own priority rules to allocate available stock to the Regional WH (For ex: - Proximity, Unfulfilled Calls at the Channel Partners by age etc.,)
    There are other variants that has to be applied in the form of rules while determining optimum allocation quantity to the Channel Partners so that 100 % Service Level is achieved.
    Request experts in this field to suggest the best approach / platform to solutionize the above business requirement.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi GS,
    I can see requirements coming up in APO SPP and SAP SPM solution as a whole( which wiill cover ECC & SCM components) past 2 years.
    Regarding maturity of APO SPP, from experiences we have for some clients, some amount of enhancements are required , because, Service parts supply chain managment processes are done quite differently across organizations.
    Since the basic framework of SPP business processes is well set in APO SPP, it will worthwhile to spend time on this module.
    These are my opinions.
    I hope this gives answers to your query.
    Pleae check.

  • Service Parts Planning Substitution of Reman Products Demand in DRP Matrix

    I've got a pretty specific question about how Substitution of Remanufactured Products Demand actually gets distributed in the DRP Matrix in SPP (/n/SAPAPO/SPPDRPM).
    1.)  Two products are involved in an active 1:1 Subst. of Remanufactured Products "Replacement Type" in the Interchangeability UI (/n/INCMD/UI).  One would be the predecessor Reman product and one would be the successor Seed product.
    2.)  Let's say supplier capacity is in weekly periods in the SPRO configuration of 1 piece for each week for 52 weeks.
    3.)  When recalculating the DRP Matrix for the predecessor product, how does the substitution of remanufactured products demand get distributed among different locations within the BOD (Bill of Distribution) on the successor product if the requirements on the REMAN product were greater than the supplier capacity indicated.
    If you don't understand the concept or need more information, please let me know.

  • EDI and CRM

    I am looking for any information related to how EDI and CRM work together.  We are planning to send EDI orders into CRM and get invoices out of CRM to send back to EDI customers.  Is this the 'standard' way of doing things - or do orders typically go into the R3 system and get 'copied' over to CRM?  I'm looking for anyone that has been through this process before.  What are some of the obstacles, other than the absence of the EDI1 pricing condition? I'm having a difficult time finding any documentation on this so any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Laurie,
    If you already have an existing EDI setup from R/3, then I would recommend simply uploading orders into CRM.  The question will become what is the purpose of the order data in CRM?  Are you planning to use CRM billing for all your sales related activities?
    A normal scenario when CRM is added to an existing landscape is that orders in the new channel are routed to CRM and existing order interfaces still exist to R/3.  The orders if needed in CRM are setup to be uploaded from R/3 to CRM.  You will need to setup the initial download of orders from R/3 to CRM.  However the key part is based on the intent of usage of the R/3 order depends on how much sosphication you build into the linkage.
    The other question to ask is what are you using CRM for?  Is it simply for EDI orders or are using it for other channels?  If you are simply using CRM for EDI orders, then it is probably a waste of effort to implement CRM.  If you are using CRM for more than EDI order processing, then you have some benefit of establishing the EDI connection with CRM.
    I am sorry if I can't provide any further details, but if you can explain your current order processing landscape in a little more detail, I can try to point you in the correct direction.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • Launch Supply Chain Plan

    Hi All:
    I am using Advanced Supply Chain Planning tool in conjunction with Oracle Process Manufacturing for material & resource level planning. As part of the process I did all the needed setups and got to the point of Running the Supply Chain Planning Process. However After I launch the process, the parent process has triggered a bunch of child concurrent requests in the background. And I have been stuck with the concurrent requests running forever in the last 8 hours without completion. The status is "normal" and "running" for all concurrent requests..
    Navigation:

    Any idea why ?

    Hi,
    for what I saw many reasons can cause this kind of stuck.
    1) Check if there are some locks on the MSC tables, maybe is the reason why it does not go through.
    Usually the concurrent (I suppose you are stuck at the memory based snapshot) creates a BIG log file. Check if the log file goes on.
    2) Once the Snapshot was incredibly slow due to some loop in the BOM. Since you are working on process manufacturing the loop should be in the recipe. You should see if there is a loop in the log.
    3) Stop the concurrent if he goes beyond any acceptable time and try to create a very small plan, with just few item, a week of planning time and one demand. Try to use some dummy supersimple data. If the plan goes fine it means that probably you have some issues on the data you feed the system. (i.e. Loop or too much things).
    4) I am not sure if this apply but maybe you have some sort of limitation on the maximum number of concurrent that can run simultaneously. We had something similar and if I well remember some concurrents where waiting for other to finish but the others could not start do to a limitation on the maximum concurrent. (check in sysadmin for this).
    Hope it helps

  • Difference between Pension plans and savings plans

    Dear Friends,
        I'm familiar with the configuration of savings plans. But I have no idea about the pension plans. I realize that some of the basic steps are common to both savings and pension plans but what is the main difference from a config perspective?.
    If any one can kindly explain the necessary steps to set up pension plans or if there is any document which talks about it please please let me know.
    I appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
    Define Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option
    u2022 Dependent coverage
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
    This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Rule
    Health Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
    You assign to each health plan:
    u2022 Its options
    u2022 Relevant dependent coverages
    u2022 The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Assign Health Plan Attributes
    Insurance Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Insurance Plan General Data
    Coverage Variants:
    In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Coverage option
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
    u2022 If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
    coverage variant for each.
    u2022 If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
    range, you need only one coverage variant.
    u2022 If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
    2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage

    Coverage Rules:
    In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
    You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Coverage Rules
    Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Coverage option
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
    u2022 If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
    to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
    u2022 If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
    proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
    cost variant.
    u2022 If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
    cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
    only one cost variant.
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Rules
    Insurance Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
    You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
    u2022 Cost variant
    u2022 Coverage variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
    Combined Coverage Limits:
    When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
    However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
    In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
    1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
    2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
    3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Combined Coverage
    Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:
    In this step, you enter the second half of the equation, as discussed in combined coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
    Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
    Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
    In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
    The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
    You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Savings Plan General Data
    Employee Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Variants
    Employee Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
    You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
    u2022 As a fixed amount
    u2022 As a percentage of salary
    u2022 As a contribution unit
    In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Rules
    Employer Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Variants
    Employer Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
    You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
    u2022 As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
    u2022 As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Rules
    Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
    u2022 EE contribution variant
    u2022 ER contribution variant
