Transit Order proposal

Dear SAP.
I would like to know if it is possible to have a different delivery
date, for a Transit Order created from a Sales Order.
In the Sales Order processing, I have customized a Item Category which
automatically generates a Transit Order proposal. The material in that
Sales Order Item has to be shipped from the plant specified in the
Transit Order to the plant of the Sales Order Item, and then to the
final customer.
When, while processing the Sales Order, you have to complete the
required data for the Transit Order proposal, the system automatically
sets the delivery date of the Transit Order to the date specified on
the Sales Order (required delivery date). And this date cannot be
changed manually. It is obvious that the delivery date for the Transit
Order should be before the required delivery date of the Sales Order.
I have set the field TVEP-AUBST, at the Schedule Line level, but it
does no effect.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you.
Silvia

Hi Amol,
Thanks for reply. I have a case: I have 1 distribution center DC, 1 Store ST and 3 Products P1, P2 & P3.
I want "Requirement optimization" to generate order for following no of days:
Store
Item
Order generation Horizon
ST
P1
10
ST
P2
7
ST
P3
5
Can we do it in SAP F&R as standard functionality and if yes, how to do it ?

Order proposal grouping in SAP F&R

Hi,
What is order proposal horizon? Is it the period of which forecast will be considered to generate orders or orders will be generated for this period only?
Please help me.

Sales order proposal dates

Hi Gurus,
Sales order dates proposals are showing tommorrows even though i have given 10 days in house production time and first date in the sales order line item showing todays date.
So could you tell me where exactly these dates are driving from? Any configuration is required meet the dates?.
Thanks in advance.
Quantum.

Hi,
In sale order general screen the date which is shown against the line item will be the delivery date which will be defualt the based on the configuration in Tcode : VOV8.
Goto Tcode : VOV8 and select the document type of the sales order and dgoto detailed screen where you can find the Header : Request deleivery date / pricing date/purchase order date, Under that there will be a check box fot Proposed Delivery Date. If that check box is ticked system will by default the current date as Delivery date against the Item in Sales Order.
If you want the system to consider the lead time i.e Inhouse production days mentioned in Material Master, select the item in the sales order and do the avaialbility check in the sales order for the item.

Order proposal in MRP

Hello experts,
when I run MRP, I want ONLY ONE PLANNED ORDER for the material for a fixed quantity. Even though the shortfall is more, I want only one planned order for a fixed quantity.
I have tried FX. But I get multiple order proposals with a constant quantity.
Kindly help.
Regards
Tom

Hi,
I don't think your requirement can be solved in standard SAP. As I checked lot sizing procedures I saw that SAP concept is to avoid material shortage - your requirement is against this.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fe/819b9f643b11d3b4e40004ac160649/frameset.htm
If you want to get one planned orders, you should use period lot sizing procedure - in this case you would get only one for the specified period. But at the same time to get fixed quantity makes no sense since requirement may vary from time to time...
Fixed lot size can't help as described by you because you get several PldOrd with fixed lot size if the requirements are higher than the fixed lot size defined by you.
You can only terminate the planning run if more than one procurement propsal should generated by the system (MRP > Planning > MRP Calculation > Define Error Processing in the Planning Run).
You can specify a threshold value for the maximum number of order proposals for the fixed lot size in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define error processing in the planning run. If this value is exceeded, that is, if too many procurement proposals are created for a date and for a material, the material is provided with a termination message.
Rounding down would be the best if it was possible to round down the quantity.
Well, I have doubts whether you can solve this in standard system.
(Maybe if you describe the business process experts can suggest you a workaround or something.)
Regards,
Csaba

Delivery date does not match sales orders proposed delivery date

when i create sales order the requested delivery date by default is todays date and if nobody changes it, it will stay the same even after i save the order but the acutal delivery date is diffrent in the sales document or delivery document
can anyone please throw some light on it
Thanks in advance

Hi Raj,
Req D Date is the date on which teh custoemr wants the goods to be delivered. But it wont be possible always. So there will be an availability check on the stock of that material and based on the availability and transportation lead times, the possible delivery date will be determined and populated at the schedule line level of the document.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Reward if this helps.

MD06 Issue - Planned orders not getting displayed

Hello,
Planned order with the exception "Newly created order proposal" does not get displayed in MD06 with the option "Only Unprocessed MRP Lists" in the processing indicator.
I am running MD06 report with the following parameters:
Plant
MRP Controller
Exeception Group - All exception selected except 8-Terminations
Processing indicator - Only unprocessed MRP LIsts, Only with new exceptions
My material which has a newly created planned order thorugh MRP run with exception "1 - Newly created order proposal" does not get displayed.
Only when I specify Only processed MRP lists or All MRP LIst in the processing indicator, this material gets displayed. The planned order is for a Stock Transfer order to this plant (receiving plant). How is the MRP LIst processed?
Please help me out with this issue.
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
When you execute the MD06 report, you would find a column with the heading CI, if am right it would be just after the MRP cntlr, here you would find a Pencil & a tick mark. If you find them both, it means the row is unprocessed, but if you find only a tick mark it means that the row is processed.
So now check for the planned order, it would be just a tick mark & hence would be showing only for the processed MRP list or all MRP lists.
To process a row or unprocess, just click on the icon & it changes.
Check & revert if it answers your query.
Regards,
Vivek

Cost centre field in sales order account assignment screen

Hello all,
I am unable to find the settings for cost center field in sales order account assignment tab screen along with profit center and internal order. kindly let me know the path to select cost center.
Thanks in advance
Raju

The Cost Center Determination settings is in OVF3 - but there are some cases where the Cost Center must be exceptionally changed.
If the document category for order type in IMG VOV8 is defined to be "I" which belong to order type FD - Deliv.Free of Charge, then the field cost center is active for input during transaction VA01.
Alternatively, you can specify an order reason and assign a cost center to an order reason.
However the standard SAP works only at the header level though, so it would not work if cost center is needed on the line item.
The cost center are assign for such business transactions as :
- Free deliveries
- Returns
- Deliveries of advertising materials
You can also make cost center allocation dependent on the order reason, for example:
Order reason: Damage in transit
Order reason: Free sample
Both the IMG settings are done in transaction OVF3, either with/without the order reason.

Automatic Purchase Order Creation

Dear All,
I would like to test the scenario of automatic creation of PO. I have already checked the Auto PO indicator in material master and vendor master record. Info Record and Source list also exist. In MRP view i have maintained manual reorder point planning.
When I run the MD02, system creates the Pur. Req. but automatic PO generation doesn't exist. Please let me know what else I need to check or there is any more setting, which I have to do.
Thanks and Regards,
Vineet

Dear Vineet,
In SAP, the automatic Purchase Order(PO) creation is possible via ME59- which via Purchase Requisitions. I would like to remind you, the automatic PO creation is possible only if Purchase requisition exists with required pre-requisites.
Not possible to create the PO from Requirements. I mean to say not possible thru MRP. Where MRP is a requirement planning, order proposal. Order placement is an another process, which can be automated thru ME59- when PR exists.
Hope this helps.

VMI and reduce Stock in Transit - what are the right methods?

Hi Gurus,
We are using APO system to implement VMI functionality to replenish stock at customer location. We need to build stock in transit at customer location after PGI happens in ECC.
Now, stock in transit is show up in 'Stock in transit' key figure, but the question is how to reduce stock in transit once it is received at customer location.
SAP recommends following four methods to reduce:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/f1/f69a3dcbcfac53e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
1. Goods receipt information is not sent from the customer to the vendor
2. The open purchase order quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
3. A proof of delivery is sent from the customer
4. The stock in transit quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
Out of these 1 and 2 methods are feasible in our scenario.
Please share your experience if you have used any of these methods, I want to hear from someone who implemented any of these methods before deciding on a method.
Thanks in advance,
Niranjan

Dear Niranjan,
I have implemented SCM-APO VMI using Past Releases of SCM (version 4.1) for upto 300 Customer Sites & 500-1000 Products.
In my experience ... this is a Big Custom Development using EDI - IDOCs / ALE wherein you Receive from Customer the Data either as "Open Orders" or "Goods Receipt" of VMI Order at Customer Store or "In-transits" as they view it. There is a Facility to receive them in the PROACT IDOC but you have to write IDOC FUnction Modules to post the Data to the
VMI Planning Area as well as at Product-Location you have to Daily Delete the In-transit Order (Category EI or AH for ASN) and Upload Intransit Quantity directly into Live-Cache as a Order. The Development is also complex as you need to Map the VMI Customer Product to the Vendor/Manufacturer's Product COdes in SCM-APO.
I have experience implementing VMI like this several years ago ... and I am not sure if SAP SCM-APO built anything Standard for the Interface over the years. If you are not sure get a ALE/IDOC & ABAP Consultant or XI Consultant to work with you on the Project.
You can Delete In-transit Quantities by using RLCDEL Transaction for Category EI or AH (if ASNs are used). You need a IDOC/ALE Development to Calculate and Upload In-Transits and Update into the VMI Planning Area as well as Download to a FILE which you can use via another ABAP Development to Upload In-transits at the Product-Location (Customer) in SCM-APO.
Hope this helps.

New lot-sizing procedure (similar FX fixed order quantity)

Dear All,
I have to create a new lot sizing procedure for MRP run. This new procedure should be similar to FX - the material should be included in MRP run when the stock falls below reorder point - but the quantity ordered (proposed to be ordered in PReq) should be the fixed lot size no matter which is the difference between the reorder point and the stock.
To clarify the request: the reorder point is 70, the stock level is 15 and the fixed lot size is 25. The MRP run should create 1 PReq for 25. (The standard functionality of FX lot sizing creates 3 PReq for 25 pieces each one - because the needed quantity is 55.)
If there is no standard customization to be done, I think I should do some changes in the needed quantity (set the quantity 25 instead of 55) - but I need yours advice also about the best way to do this. Maybe you may indicate an exit/BADI or a place where I can do an enhancement to achieve this.
I now it is not the best request - but I have to do it, unfortunately .
Regards,
Florina R.

Hi Tomasz,
1) The reorder point is 70 (greater than the needed quantity for a week) because the vendor has some delivery problems and also because this quantity covers the delivery lead time.
2) The lot size is fixed because they do not want to order more than the needed quantity for a week even if the difference between the reorder point and the stock level is greater than 25.
I'm able to fix the lot size but not to limit the quantity at this value (25).
I have to do this because they will provide the needed quantity (if the stock falls to 0) from another vendor (but the tricky thing and wrong also is the fact that for the second vendor I have a second material....).
It is hard for me to convince you that the request is correct because I know in this way SAP will work incorrectly - but the client knows the consequences and even so wants this kind of lot sizing procedure...
Regards,
Florina R.

Rounding profile: convert ordered qty to another UoM

Hi all,
I would like to convert the ordered qty on the sales order into a different unit of measure. This can be done with rounding profile. However, I don't want it to round if it is not exact.
For example: 1 case = 100 EA. If a customer orders 100 EA, it will automatically convert it to 1 case. This should work.
However, if customer orders 75 EA, I don't want it to auto round to 100EA (and convert to 1 case). Instead I want an error to occur, or atleast give the user the option to round or not round.
How can this be done?
Thanks

Rounding profile is used to adjust the order proposal quantity to deliverable units.
Sales unit will default the order item to cases (As entered in material master).
Now, if you want to give an options to the user
1st thing to check at order item level is
1. Is the Sales order UOM = Sales UOM of material (VBAP-VRKME = MVKE-VRKME)
If not then
Check if the sales order unit satisfies the conversion factor (if VBAP - VRKME can be converted to MVKE-VRKME)
If yes then change the sales order unit and make it equal to material sales unit
If not then
switch off round up, have a pop up asking user for pop-up
You will have to utilize
1. Rounding,
2. Sales unit of Material
3. Exit to change VBAP.
4. Screen changes for pop up.

Display cost center field under item level when creating sales order

Hi dear experts,
during the sales order creation(tcode VA01), is it possible to display the cost center field in the tab account assignment under item level??
currently we are using ECC6,in the tab account assignment, the cost center field was actually already defined in the screen by the system...i used to try to 'activate' the cost center field VBAP-KOSTL in the user exit MV45AFZZ, but the cost center still not shown.
I know that there is a config to the sales doc type can be used to open the cost center at header level, how about item level?
thanks and best rgds

Sales order stock with stock transport orders

Dear all,
We are on ECC 6.0.
We are using intracompnay stock transport orders from one plant to other. Sales orders are created in one plant with a purchase requisition and then converted to a purchase order with order type UB on the supplying plant. The supplying plant is also defined as a customer using the different account group for the plant as customer.
When this purchase orders are delivered from the supplying plant using replenishment delivery NL we get an error performing the goods issue for the delivery.The error message is M7 184 -Sales order stock & & does not exist. System is checking for the sales order number in the supplying plant while performing the goods issue. However the sales order is in the receiving plant.
Does some body have an idea how to resolve this?
We are also using material ledger and the transfer pricing mechanism between intracompany sotck transfers.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Kartik Shah

Hello ,
i have the same issue.I checked in MD04 transaction and for this delivery i get this message
Diagnosis
The finish date of the order proposal lies in the past.
System Response
This exception is displayed in the MRP list and in the stock/requirements list.
This situation may occur if in Customizing for the plant in question, the automatic forward scheduling was switched off for MRP.
Procedure
Check whether the order proposal should be rescheduled.
anyone can help me ?

FiX lot size & minimum sale order qty .

hi all
We maintained minimum order quantity for material ; can we put massage sale oraganization wise
ie for SO IN01 Massage type is 'E"
& for IN02 massage type is 'W"
If my minimum order qty. is 10 then SAP will accept the sale order qty. with multiple of 10 .
Eg. If customer placed order qty. 15 Nos. Dose SAP convert it into 20 automatically ?
PL. suggest me how to configure this scnerio

Hello,
Min sales order qty is controlled through MMR Sales Org 1 - if you want it to round up or down to the correct order quantity then you will need to create a rounding profile (see below).
Otherwise to change your message from a info or warning to an error goto transaction OVAH message V4 082 and change to E = error.
Rounding Profile
Key that the system uses to adjust the order proposal quantity to deliverable units.
Procedure
In Customizing, enter a threshold value from which the system should round up to the next value per deliverable unit:
If the requirements value exceeds the first threshold value, the system always rounds up to the next multiple of the level found
If the requirements value falls below the first threshold value, the system copies the original requirements value.
Two other types of rounding exist:
Dynamic rounding profile:
These profiles are used to round up quantities to logistical units of measure (for example, layers). The contents of a logistical unit of measure does not have to be know when creating the rounding profile. It is determined by the master data from the material master.
Rounding profile with quantity to be added/subtracted
With these profiles, the given quantity is changed either by adding a percentage or subtracting a percentage.
Only static rounding profiles are taken into account in requirements planning. Neither dynamic rounding profiles not quantity addition/ subtraction are taken into account.
Examples
A material's base unit of measure is 1 unit; the purchase order is to be delivered in layers (1 layer corresponds to 5 units) or in pallets (1 pallet corresponds to 8 layers which contains 40 units).
You maintain the profile as follows:
From a requirements of 2 units, the system is to round up to 5; from a requirement of 32 units, the system is to round up to 40.
This results in the following order proposal quantities:
Requirement from 1 -> 1 requirement from 31 -> 30
Requirement from 2 -> 5 requirement from 32 -> 40
Requirement from 6 -> 10 requirement from 74 -> 80
Requirement from 7 -> 10
Dependencies
If no rounding profile has been entered, the system uses the rounding value entered in the material master record for the planning run
Kind regards
Sue
