Typical Planning Scenario

Hello
My client have the following scenario
1) They wait to produce the orders till the orders are accumulated and full capacity of workcenter is reached, then they execute the orders in a single or multiple joborder.
for Ex.    xxxx10 material   50000 qty,      yyyy10 material   50000 qty,
              xxxx11 material   35000 qty,      yyyy11 material     5000 qty,
              xxxx12 material   25000 qty      yyyy12 material     5000 qty,
              xxxx13 material     2500 qty,      yyyy13 material     5000 qty,
             xxxx14 material     3500 qty,      yyyy14 material     3500 qty,
             xxxx15 material     5000 qty      yyyy15 material     5000 qty,
Then they plan such a way that the production is continued with a product mix of different material so a min joborder quantity is maintained in each joborder.
can anyone please suggest a better scenario to map the requirement as client is very particular and want to run this scenario as this suits their requirement.

Hi,
You can Use capacity planning for this, Capacity evaluation should help you.
You can check the capacity available against work center and capacity occupied.
You can then also see precisely the no,. of orders and Which orders are getting planned against this work Center.

Reduction of PIRs in Production lot planning scenario is not happening.

Hello Experts,
I am facing the following problem:
I have a Production lot planning scenario. I have done all customizing and master data maintenace as described in SAP Help for realizing the scenario with transfer posting to plant stock (req class 092).
However my PIRs wich are assigned to the specific production lot are not getting reduced after the transfer posting to plant stock. I need your help to resolve this problem.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Best regards,
Nikolay

Hello Satyajit Kumar,
Thanks for your reply.
The movement type that I use is 411 "Q" and the WBS is the correct one, but PIR still remains unreduced. Please advise.
Best regards,

Allow alphabetical to be inputted in key planning scenario (RM61L-PLSCN)

Dear Expert,
As i know, now i can only input numeric /number for key code planning scenario in MS31. the challenge is how if I have used all the variant numbers as the system allows 3 characters only for planning scenario code. The only way I can think is by using alphabetical ( a -z). can we change the system setting to allow the alphabetical to be inputted in planning scenario code/ key?
Thanks
Pauline

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your reply,
How about if I add to 4 characters, means i can have up to 9999 scenarios with numeric. we have our own reasons to use all the 999 scenarios, example here:
106 - for january 2006
206 - for february 2006
and so on...
Thanks
Pauline

Typical modeling scenario

Experts,
I am facing very typical modeling scenario which is mentioned below, in which result for the same data needs to be change based on user input.
Cube data is:
1st Row:
Subscriber   =   S1
Order No.   =   1001
Valid from   =   01-Sep-2009
Valid to    =   31-Dec-2009
Renewal Flag   =   u2018 u2018
Renewal Order   = u2018 u2018
Count = 1
2nd Row:
Subscriber   =   S1
Order No.   =   1002
Valid from   =   01-Jan-2010
Valid to    =   31-May-2010
Renewal Flag   =   u2018Xu2018
Renewal Order   = u20181001u2018
Count = 1
Second row is the renewal order after 1st subscription expiry date.
Now in the report user wants to know lost subscriber based on period he enters for e.g.
User can enter date range/Months/Years, so if he executes report for Year 2009,
Number of lost subscriber = 1. (based on 1st row.)
But if user executes report for year 2009 and 2010 out put should be,
Year                       2009 2010
Lost subscriber         0        1
Because he got renewed immediately hence not considered as lost.
Consider the data in million and user can execute report for about 4 Yrs together. And I can not store the number of Lost in cube at all because same row has two different answeres for two inputs.
Currently I have fixed it using Virtual cube, but I am afraid of performance.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Different planning strategy in defferent planning scenario

Hi ,
Is anybody can explain me how can use different planning strategy in different planning scenario ?
Thanks !

Hello Denny
Planning strategies represent the business procedures for the planning of production quantities and dates. A wide range of production planning strategies are available in the SAP R/3 System, offering a large number of different options ranging from pure make-to-order production to make-to-stock production. Depending on the strategy you choose, you can:
Use sales orders and/or sales forecast values to create the demand program
Move the stocking level down to the assembly level so that final assembly is triggered by the incoming sales order
Carry out Demand Management specifically for the assembly
<b>Choose a make-to-stock strategy, if:</b>
The materials are not segregated. In other words, they are not assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs need to be tracked at material level, and not at sales order level.
You should always use make-to-stock production if you produce stock independently of orders because you want to provide your customers immediately with goods from that stock later on. You might even want to produce goods without having sales orders, if you expect that there might be customer demand in the future. This means that make-to-stock strategies can support a very close customer-vendor relationship because your objective here is to provide your customers with goods from your stock as quickly as possible. Returns that have passed quality inspection and other unexpected goods receipts can be used for other sales orders.
This does not mean that you have unreasonably high stock levels. You can avoid them by doing one of the following:
Create a production plan in advance (in Demand Management) to plan your stock.
If you make use of this option, you may also want to decide whether sales orders exceeding your plan are to affect production or not.
Receive sales orders relatively early on (using scheduling agreements, for example).
<b>Choose a make-to-order strategy, if:</b>
The materials are segregated. In other words, they are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
Costs must be tracked at sales order level and not on material level.

Problems with planning scenarios

Dear all
I've a huge problem with the scheduling of a project. I hope I can explain it properly.
I've created a project with some networks in it. The planning scenario is free scheduling and strict bottom up. I'm using the backward scheduling.
Some of the networks, which are connected with the "Main" Network now are not scheduled properly. For example I have an acitivity in the "Main" network which is connected with a FS relationship to an activity (this activity has set up a constraint earliest possible) of another network. When I'm carrying out the scheduling this activity is planned much later than the activity in the Main network. In some other similar networks the scheduling is carried out regurarly.
Now, when I'm changing the planning scenario to bottom up, canceling the start date in the network of concern and making a new scheduling of the whole project, the activity is placed in the right period. When I'm changing back the planning scenario and rescheduling the project once more, the activity is again postponed, even further in the future than before.
is somebody out there who is able to help me?
many thanks

Clarify on this Cost Center Planning Scenario

Folks,
Would appreciate inputs for the following scenario that I am attempting in overhead planning
In the planning layout I need to enter proposed budget for the various cost elements
The cost element is master data; the requirement is against the cost element I would require another column which is the cost element description; description is maintained in the text table; description is not identified as an attribute in the cost element characteristic
How can I add description along with the cost element code
1. Do clarify whether this is feasible only if the description is identified as an attribute
Thanks for your time
Regards
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
For getting the cost element description alongwith the code, go to Change Layout
1. In the layout you would be having Cost Element as the Lead column on the first screen, select the type of text you would like to be displayed for the Cost element here i.e. Short, Medium, long
2. Continue and go to the second screen of the layout.
3. Go to the Lead columns tab here.
4. Select the Display option here for "cost element" here as Key/Name and you will be able to see the description alongwith the cost element code
Hope it helps.
Cheers
Anurag

Typical sales scenario

Hai All,
My client belongs to manufacturing industry.
their order process is as follows:
customer place for RFQ (req for quotation , we ll consider it as Inquiry ), Client wont maintain any Inventory in Plants. Based on customer order, material will be transferred for production.
but in some cases, ( at the time of dispatch customer have an option to choose specific qtty to receive,where as production is already done.
eg: customer order- 2000 EA, prod-2000 EA, at the time of dispatch customer revise his order to 1500 EA,the same will be deliver to the customer. the remaining qtty will be stored in Inventory i.e.500 EA.
now when the other customer places order for the same material say, 1000 EA.
System has to deduct the inventory stock and for the rest has to go for production.
Can someone give me MTO document Flow, starting from sales order
my doubt is:
1) This can be done through MTO- will use the item cat group in Material master , by the item cat det'n system .
but how would the system consider the inventory stock also.
2) customer places req on last week of current month (for which he req's next month, its monthly req ) & at the same time he will place 2 more req's for next 2 months ( which is called "tentative schedules") ,but the production dept has to produce next month req completely & 80% of the tentative schedules.
How this will be addressed?
plz clarrify,

Manufacturing does not work that way. Even in the case of MTO, orders which are requirements are cumulated every day, week, fortnight or month. Based on this a production plan is drawn up. Please remember there is a sourcing lead time for the raw materials for the finished product and it ca vary from a day to three months if the material is imported.
So how does one have a plan. Sales order plan is the basis on which estimates are made and production plans are made. Again it also depends on the working capital cycle in real time as well as to how far you can plan given the specific nature of the product.
But lets consider that the company has fairly large orders which is the reason why he is going in for SAP. How can one determine whether a customer is going to pick up 505 of the goods or 60% or 100% Unless you have some historical data,
Either way Availability check and TOR in SAP takes into account all these eventualities and it cumulates the requirements with the stock available and generates exactly for the difference. This is standard SAP behaviour.
