Testing at Alternative plant

Dear Experts,
I have one requirement from my client.We have 2 plants A-Production Plant and B-Testing Plant.
As per the requirement it should 2 plants in SAP.
And a product got manufactured in plant A should be tested in plant B.(only testing Opeartions with QM-UD and RR) and GR in Plant A only.
hou planning ,scheduling and capacity work out for this scenario?Please guide.
Regards,
Babu

Hi Babu,
I am not sure if the following work out..
But say you make the testing plan as the planning plant and Plant A as the production plant .Then you could use the special procurement type "Production in alternate plant"..
Then the production will be in your plant A only...But one Requirement will appear in other plant also.Once the order is confirmed in your manufacturing plant the order in testing plant will automatically deleted.Then you could do the normal  processes like material trasfer from plant to plant etc,
I am not sure if this works,a suggestion.
Regards
George

  • Make-to order with production in alternative plant

    Hi,
    We are thinking about implementing a scenario with Make-to Order production for our products, but with production in alternative plant (special procurement type 80).
    For example, sales orders will be directed to plant A, but production should take place in plant B - and using a make-to order strategy (in our case planning strategy 50 - planning without final assembly).
    Is there any problems with our approach, making it not feasible to implement? Is it even possible in SAP to combine MTO with special procurement key 80 (production in alternative plant)?
    Is there any other issues that can be foreseen with using this type of production strategy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars

    Hi,
    The production strategy which you are going to use is very fine.
    As per me there is one concern. Example you have created a sales order in Plnat A, in plant A that FG is handling through Special procurement 80, then in the MRP run system will be creating a planned order in Plant B without running MRP in plant B. In MD04 screen you can see planning plant as Plant A. In plant B, u r converting this planned order in to Production order and executing the production. While doing the GR against the production order, the goods receipt will happen directly in Plant A.
    This is the one problem (Accountability)  you can face.

  • Production in alternative plant

    hi pp gurus
                     i have one problem in production in alternative plant.
      I created one bom for A material in planning plant with special p.key 80 and stg 40 as well as routing also.AT the same time i created different bom for A materilal in production plant with out special proc key and and enter stg 40.and routing also created..And also i have done some settings in spro.plz find it below
    spro_mrp_master data_define special procurement key
    In that screen  i have entered
    plant is production plant ie B
    special proc type is 40
    procurement type E
    in special proc tab i have entered
    special procurement E
    and not entered plant
    and in place of issuing plant i have enterd A ie planning plant.
    when  i run the mrp for A in planning plant system create the planned order and converted the production order . at the same time in production plant system will not show any production orders and planned orders.
    why system does't show .
    plz explain how to solve this problem and any settings are required and any settings will change above mention spro path
    Thanks

    Hi,
    pls correct the settings in spro as follows and try.
    Hope u should have adopted the sproc key 80 - Production in Alternative Plant in the Standard.But your settings are different from std. pls correct.
    spro_mrp_master data_define special procurement key
                                                                 your current  settings         proposed settings

  • Set withdrawal from alternative plant without maintaining the issuing plant

    Dear Expert,
    Please help me..
    When I want to maintain special procurement type 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for plant 1500, 2500 (new plant), I set the withdr. altern plant  for BOM component produced in house but when I want to save , then system ask me to input the issuing plant. I know it because of dependencies.  but why in the past, when I maintained special procurement type 70 for plant 1000, 2000, and 3000 I can saved it without maintaining the issuing plant?
    Can you tell me which customizing/ configuration link to this dependencies (if we choose withdrawal from alternative plant we need to maintain the issuing plant too)?
    Can we save the special procurement type 70 without maintaining the issuing plant like we had done before for plant 1000, 2000, and 3000?
    Thanks,
    P.

    you cannot customize one by one, what you can do is copy plant (EC02)

  • Withdrawal from alternative plant & SPK as the Sp. procurement type

    Hi there,
                 Can any one please enlighten me what is the diffrence between Withdrawal from alternative plant & SPK as the Sp. procurement type..... from perspective of all the modules in SAP........
    Regards
    Kaushik

    Hi Nanda Kumar ,
                               I got your point..........my query is that ........
    <u>case 1</u> : Suppose  we are maintaing in SPRO  for plant 1001
    SP type  7D & then Special procurement as Stock transfer & plant 1000.
    In this we can move the stock from the plant 1000 to destination plant 1001.... after defining the SPK - 7D in the material master .
    <u>Case 2 :</u>  We maintain the Special Procurement as 70 in the material master....... then in SPRO for the plant 1001 with SP type as 70....... & we maintain the withr.alterbative plant as 1000.
    So here also as per my understanding we can move the stock from the plant 1000 to 1001.......
    so what is the diffrrence.......please elucidate me.......
    Is it this way that if there are more than one plant from where we move the stock ..... then with SP type 70 we can have only one Issuing plant.... so in the situation where there is some another material for which  issuing plant is differrent then we have to take the help of SPK......
    Thanks & Regards

  • Withdrawal from Alternative Plant

    Hi,
    I am trying to use special procurement type to withdraw components of finished goods produced in Plant A from Plant B. i.e. Plant B owns the components, Plant A acts as subcontrator but has full PP running.
    The problem is that Plant A and Plant B are in different company codes and different controlling areas and I am getting an error due to different controlling areas when I try to do this.
    Does anyone know how to get around this? Or of an alternative way to run this process?
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    As the both the plants are under different company code, you will have to use stock transfer order to transfer the components from plant B to plant A.They have to be recived (GRN) and accepted after which they will come into plant A stocks.
    Please take help of SD collegue to get this done
    regards
    Prakash

  • Sales Order and Production in different plants

    Dear Experts,
    I have a scenario where Customer specific Sales orders (MTO) will be created in one common plant, whereas production can happen in 2 other plants.
    The common plant doesn't physically exists and is created in SAP to cater common requirements (raw materials, plant equipment, shared services, common items etc).
    There are 2 ways to create Sales order:
    1. Create order for both production plants in individual plants. (In SO line, specify the individual plant)
    2. Create order for the common plant. The requirements should be distributed to both the production plants.
    If I go with the 2nd option, SD, LE and QM will not have pain areas.
    But, when i run MRP, the SD requirement will show in common plant. How can I transfer that to production plant?
    I do have PIRs in individual plants. The same should be reduced as well.
    I can create an so specific order though CO08, which is not preferred. Is there a way to auto-convert the requirement to another plant?
    Thanks
    Prem

    Hello Prem,
    Quota arrangement with special procurement type P ('Production in alternative plant')
    As suggested you can use the Quota arrangement  in this case along with special procurement key production in alternative plant
    Production in Alternative Plant - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
    The customizing for the special procurement SPRO -> Production -> Material Requirements Planning -> Master Data -> Define Special Procurement Type for both required plants.
    For quota arrangement which has a special procurement P - Prod. other plant" defined in MEQ1, you should make sure that the field "procurement plant" is correctly maintained and percentage.
    Quota usage should be 4 in material master. Please test this for PIR consumption BAdi 'MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS' will be helpful
    Please see note  1967124 - BAdI enhancement for flexible primary independent requirements consumption/reduction.

  • How to transfer the requirement from one plant  to many plants(STO)

    hai gurus,
    My scenario is as follows:
    1) Plant "A" is Receiving plant.
    2) Plant "B" ,Plant "C", Plant "D" is three production plant.
    3) All the above 4 plant under same company code 1000.
    4) Now plant "A" gets the requirements and pass on to all the three production plants, which
    is based on forecast.
    5) How the requirement to be passed on from plant "A" to all the three production plants namely B/C/D
    under sap
    6) After production of fert under 3 production plants the final products is transferred to the plant "A"
    ware houses which is situated near by plants of B/C/D.
    7) Only one fert material( Fert 1) is common for all three plants produced based on the capacity at all three plants.
    8) Remaining fert material is plant specific, that is for Example Fert 2,3,4 produced only in plant" B"
    Fert 5,6,7 produced in plant "C" and Fert 8,9,10 produced only in plant "D".

    Hi again,
    For more details on stock transfer from alternative plant in MRP, see also the attached link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/f4/7d2d5a44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/content.htm
    Regarding FERT1, you can place sales order, but it will not trigger requirements in the manufacturing plant. Also, because all plants are in the same CC it is not a good idea.
    If you are willing to do some manual/external work in determining how much of FERT1 will each manufacturing plant produce, then you can just manually create STOs accordingly. These STOs will generate MRP requirements in the manufacturing plants.

  • Goods Receipt in Production Plant

    Hi,
    I have a scenario, where the sales order is placed in the sales plant and production happens in production plant. The sales order creates a purchase requisition in the production plant and MRP creates planned orders against the purchase req and the production is carried out by doing a goods receipt in the production plant itself.
    I have not used the special procurement key of "Production in alternate plant" for this scenario as I want to do the goods receipt against the production order in production plant itself.
    But for the same material if I manually create the production order in production plant and try to do the goods receipt in production plant the system is not allowing me to do this.
    The system tries to post the goods receipt directly into the sales plant even though I have not used the "production in alternate plant" sp procurement key.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this. I want to receive the goods in production plant itself and then move it to sales plant.
    Thanks!

    Dear abppp1,
    When you are working with this concept Production in alternative plant using special procurement key 80,once after creating
    the Goods receipt for the production order the stock in the planning plant will get increased,(and not first in the production plant)
    Check this link to understand the concept in detail,

  • Query regarding cross-plant planning

    I have two manufacturing plants P1 and P2
    Raw material RMA is procured for P1
    Finished good FGA is produced in P1.
    Finished good FGB is produced in P2 and uses RMA and FGA as BOM components. It is planned using strategy u201810u2019.
    Following options exist for planning RMA & FMA
    Using special procurement key 70
    1.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant)
    In plant P1 it has procurement type F.
    1.b. In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
    I maintain SPK 70 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
    In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E.
    In this case all dependent requirements for RMA & FMA (when BOM of FGB is exploded) are created in P1, not P2. Also all procurement proposals are created in P1. No stock of material must be maintained separately in P2, since MRP will not consider this stock.
    How will person in plant P2 know how much stock of RMA & FMA is physically lying in his plant P2, since in SPK 70, only stock in P1 is considered.
    Also, person in P2 must be able to withdraw RMA & FMA from P1 only after getting approval from P1. How can this be achieved?
    Using special procurement key 40
    2.a. In plant P2, RMA has procurement type F and SPK 40 (proc.from alter.plant)
    In plant P1 it has procurement type F. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?
    2.b.In plant P2, FMA should have what procurement type (E or F)? How does this affect planning? Should it be valuated at std. price or moving avg. price in P2?
    I maintain SPK 40 (withdrawal from alternative plant) for FMA in P2.
    In plant P1, FMA has procurement type E. Do I need to set mixed MRP indicator ? If yes why, and should it be 1 or 2?.
    3. Is it possible that instead of using SPK 70 or 40, system automatically creates reservations for material (MB21), for plant to plant transfer (mvmt 301)?  I can then do a transfer posting against this reservation.
    Awaiting your replies. Thanks in advance!

  • Automatic Plant determination logic in the order line item level

    Dear all,
    I would like to know if there is a possibility to determine plants automatically, avoiding the standard plant
    determination logic at line item level, to determine plant based on stock availability.
    The process will be to skip the standard plant dtermination logic and drive the process through
    based on ATP on plant level.
    Coming more specific to the requirement the system determines the plant where the stock is available and if the stocks are not
    sufficient the system goes to the next plant automaticaly and confirms the stock quantities, which also could mean that the ATP would run on plant 1 and then plant 2 and plant 3......depending on the availability of stocks with partial confirmations or full.
    If there are existing user exits etc. available also when the configuration not available would welcome it.
    Thanks

    Hello
    On more option I can see is of maintaining preferred plant in Table OIDAP.
    Generally, this table is used for IS-Oil plant determination.
    There you can set up one preferred plant and up to four alternative plants for a combination of
    - sales area
    -country
    -transport zone (of the ship-to party)
    -material number or material group.
    The plant selected depends on the availability of material in the plant/storage location.

  • Production in specific plant

    Experts,
    In my production scenario, I work with nine plants: 1000/1100/1200/1300/1400/1500/1600/1700/1800.
    All plants generate production demands (MD04), but only the 1800 plant is the Producing Plant. The demands are generated by Sales Order (MTO).
    The plant "1800" was defined as the production plant by setting "Special Procurement" (80 - Production in alternative plant).
    When I confirm the production order (control key PP03), the movement type 101 (goods movement) enters the plant that originated the demand and does not allow changes. In my scenario, I need always to inform the plant 1800, and then transfer the production to the origin plant (that generated the demands). But as I said the system does not allow changes in this field...
    The production will always be in plant 1800, and the transfer will be manual (after order confirmation).
    Does anyone know how I configure the system to have this behavior?
    Thank you,
    Willian.

    Hello Caetano,
    The conversion indicator is set... the problem is that MRP generated planned order with type NB, allowing only conversion to Purchase Requisition.
    Look at the picture below (material master data, plant 1000). I set special procurement "40", as you suggested.

  • Production in Aternative Plant with stock transfer

    Hello,
    For our MTO process we have prototyped several scenarios for production of configurable materials over more plants, all based on special procurement keys.
    Scenario 1: procured from other plant with stock transfer (41)
    Scenario 2: production in alternative plant (80)
    With respect to the configuration process and ATP, scenario 2 has our preference. There is one discrepancy, since the plants are far away from each other we need a stock transfer (and paperwork for transportation) between the 2 plants.
    However a feature of production in an alternative plant is that the GR of the semi-finished good is directly in the planning plant.
    Of course we can do a transfer order w/o reference for the semi-finished good from plant A to plant B but nothing is triggering this process and for us no option.
    Any idea how to get such process nicely streamlined? Is there a usable workaround?
    Thanks, Hans
    (note: If no clues, I intend to bring it in as a request for  SAP customer influence)

    Thanks Vaibhav,
    All required CTP settings maintained and ther is PDS in alternative production plant too. The reason being when I remove special proc key APO CTP created planned order for the deficit qty.
    Did you mean to say Original plant means planning plant? but there proc type has to be E with special proc as "80" .SPRO setting is maintained.(maintained Location Determnation settings as you mentioned) I have already tried "X"
    but  did not work..

  • Planning in other plant

    Dear Gurus
    I have got a scenario where in I will receive my sales order in plant B and the mrp will also be in B then the system should create requirement (i.e Purchase req.) in plant A  then manufacturing of the product will happen in plant A and it will then again be transferred to plant B for despatch to customer.
    Please suggest

    Hi,
    Use spl procurement key 80 (production inalternative plant) for the material for which you are going to produce the alternative plant.
    In Spro,  for the speacial procurement type , give the atl palnt as PLANT A and issuing Plant B.
    SRPO / PRODUCTION/ MATERIAL REQMT PLANNING /  MASTER DATA / DEFINE SPL PROCUREMENT TYPES.
    In selct the spl procure key 80 - give all the details.
    and assign this key to your material in material master / mrp 2 view.

  • Considering stocks of both plants in special procure. type scenario.-urgent

    Hi dudes,
    Our client is using special procurement type 80(prod.in alternative plant), he is getting planned order in delivering plant as requirement generated by planning plant. while running MRP in both plants, it would consider only the stock of planning plant but not the stock of delivering plant suppose stock is made in delivering plant individually(say manual orders). As the requirement generated by planning plant, the planned order will be generated in delivering plant irrespective of its individual stock.
    can we make the system to consider what ever the stock in delivering plant and create no planned order if stock is there.
    thanks in advance
    Robert

    Robert,
    If that was your requirement why not use Special Procurement key 70 (Withdraw from alternate plant). In this case system only creates reservation and Planning at Supplying plant will be based on the Net requirement calculation considering all recipets, Stock and Issues.
