Use of PIR consumption for advance material order (MTO prototype)

Hi planing Gurus,
I am investigating the possibility to use PIR to trigger replenishement long lead time sub level mfg or purchase products in the context of building MTO prototype. I believe I could use planning strategy 70/consumption mode VSFB to handle eventual actual requirements that will be created at higher levels.
Q1. The parameters Fwd and Bwd consumption in MRP 3 are limitted. For instance, if I set 7 days each the system will only consider actual demand in this timeframe. I am not too in favor to set large value there to manage the fact that actual demand may not occur exactly as planned by the PIR. Is there any way the consumption can be iterative (eg. bwd 7, fwd 7, bwd 14, fwd 14)?
Q2. Is there another mean to trigger replenishment of long lead time mfg part/purch part in the contexte of MTO prototype and manage consumption.
Your help is greatly appreciate and speed up my curve to learn SAP PP architecture (I have experience with other mfg systems).

You had another question
Q2. Is there another mean to trigger replenishment of long lead time mfg part/purch part in the contexte of MTO prototype and manage consumption.
FOr this I would suggest even looking at Planning strategy (PS) = 50.
This strategy are probably the most widely-used strategies in a make-to-order environment.
Procurement of the long lead items (components) is planned by means of planned independent requirements entered at the finished product level. The system creates special planned orders at the finished product level for these planned independent requirements. These orders are only relevant for production once a sales order for the finished product exists.
The assemblies are, however, produced or procured before the sales order is entered. Production is carried out up to one level before the finished product level, and the assemblies and components required for producing the finished product are placed in stock to await the incoming sales order.
Final assembly is triggered once a sales order has been entered.
Hope this helps you take a good decision.
Thanks,
Ram

Using of cash journal for advance payment to vendor or from customer.

using of cash journal for advance payment to vendor or from customer.please give advice?

Hi,
Set up a new transaction for "Advance Payment to Vendor" in Cash Journal IMG. The menu path in IMG is Financial Acct --> Bank Accounting --> Business transction --> Cash Journal --> Create, Change, Delete Business Transactions. Transaction Code for this configuraiton activity is FBCJC2.
Enter Company Code, Business Transaction Type as "K" and Cash Journal Business Transaction as "Advance Payment to Vendor". This will work if you are paying to Vendor from Petty Cash.
Check Receipt from Customer is supported if you take it in Cash Journal and then later deposit to Bank. But check payment to Vendor should be handled trhough either automatic payment program or outgoing payment transaction.
Hope this helps,

PIR creation for Configurable material

Hi,
Please let me know, the process for creating PIR's for a configurable material.
Currently my client is using Stategy 82 for creation of prodcution order directly from sales order and does the selection of characteristics while creating the sales order.
when i try to create PIR using MD61,the system is giving a error " No Planning Profile maintained".
please help me out with the steps to be followed for creation of PIR's.
Regards
Ramesh

Hi,
you can not create PIR in MD61 with planning strategy 82. it is MTO stategy.
If you want to plan for configurable materials, go for characteristic plannijg strategy like 56.
In characteristic planning you need to maintain option (characteristics) usage % in MD61. In addtion to configurable profile it also needs planning profile 9 where you need to maintina exact characterisrics for whome option % should be maintinaed in MD61).
If you dont include certain charcteristics from configurable profile in planning profile then they will not be planned in Md61.
Check Charcteristic planning at below link:

Restricting PIR consumption based on custom Order Type

Hello Experts,
We have implemented BADI MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS in our system ( Version 4.7 )so that we can restrict the consumption of Order Reservations.
For this we have added code as per OSS Notes# 608760 and 127370 for the BADI Interface.
We have included MRP Element "AR" so that consumption can happen for the order reservations.
The BADI is restricting consumption of PIR now for the order reservations, but now we want to restrict the Consumption of independent requirement only against reservation generated by customized Order type ( Say ZXXX ).
Does this functionality exist for this BADI? If yes,then how can we implement this?
Regards,
Debasish Sahu

Hello Prakash,
Thanks for your response.
The Def. Documentation does not describe how the process is carried out.
The documentation is as follows:
Application component: PP-MRP, PP-MP-DEM, PP-MP-LTP
Function group: M60A, M61X
You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to make the consumption and reduction processes for planned independent requirements more flexible.
In the SAP R/3 standard system there were previously four possibilities for consumption and reduction of planned independent requirements (planned independent requirements consumption indicator):
SPACE     no consumption
'1'     Consumption with customer requirements (planned independent requirements)
'2'     Consumption with dependent requirements, dependent and manual reservations, release order requirements from stock transfers (dependent requirements)
'3'     Consumption with planned independent requirements and dependent requirements
You can use Business Add-In MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS to realize consumption processes in which there are controls to define for each MRP element whether consumption or reduction should occur.
This Business Add-In replaces modification note 127370 in release 4.70.
&PRECONDITIONS&
&STANDARD_SETUP&
o     The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.
o     The system cannot be used multiple times.
&ACTIVITY&
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_MRP OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
INCLUDE MD03_BADI_IMPLEMENT OBJECT DOKU ID TX LANGUAGE EN
&EXAMPLE&
In the sample-coding, planned independent requirements with consumption indicator '4' (see method documentation) are consumed against all of the consumable SD document types (sales orders, SD scheduling agreement schedule lines, deliveries) and release order requirements from stock transfer purchase procurement proposals (purchase orders, purchase requisitions, scheduling agreement schedule lines, planned orders).
&ADDITIONAL_HINTS&
<DS:IO.IF_EX_MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS        CHECK_PIR_CONS_REDUC> Documentation on BAdI method CHECK_PIR_CONS_REDUC

Cost Estimation Through Two PIR valid for same material

Hello Everyone
I am trying to costing strategy with PIR (Purchase Info Record). Just to check whether its working right or not i have only choosen sub strategy 'Effective Price from Quotation'. My problem is we have got more than one PIR for the same material from different vendors (both have valid dates). My first question is how system will calculate if both PIRs for same material is valid with different prices.
My expectation was that system should pick up the price from PIR which has regular vendor flag ticked in PIR master record but this is not the case. System is picking up the price from the other PIR although i don't know the logic. I am observing system is picking the lower price (as i tested two materials) in both cases. Can anybody guide me how can i make sure that system picks up the price from PIR which has regular ticked or can anybody suggest something elsethat which is right sub strategy to use for PIR?
Thanks in advence

Hi Young Sun
The link really helped me a lot to understand the process how system is picking up price. We don't use source list and quota requirement. I have noticed that system will not consider regualr flag tick in PIR for costing unless you you configure at backend in
Material Logistics->Purchasing->Source Determination->Define Regular Vendor
Once i have activated that tick system is working fine and picking up the price from regular vendor flag. If regular vendor is not ticked system will go vendor with lower price.
@Imdad: Thanks for your kind help as well and input.
Many thanks again.

Prevention of delivery when using "user status profile" for a sales order?

Hi,
I have used "user profile status" in the sales order "as a work flow" for releasing the sales order.
The user profile are as follows
a) 10: created
b) 20: Released
But I believe I am still able to create the delivery when the order status is still "10" created.
Any advise, user exit or workaround or should this happen.
Usefull answers will be rewarded.
Thanks

Use of NAS disk for project material

I intend to buy a new computer. I have used and vill continue use a 2 TB NAS disk in the system to store photos, documents and videolips. It is a Synology DS111 with Gigabit Ethernet connection.
I will use this computer for videoediting. I have used Premiere Pro 1.5 before and DV material and even if the system was not very fast it worked until now. I will purchase Adobe Premiere CS6
I intend to include a 256GB SSD as system disk(Samsung 840 or similar) and a 128 GB SSD as scratch disk.
The rest of the computer will probably be
Intel Core i7 3770K 3,5Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
2x Corsair 8GB (1x8192MB) CL10 1600MHz VENGEANCE
Asus P8Z77-V
KFA2 GeForce GTX 660Ti 2048MB OC
I do not know how Premiere Pro CS6 handles files in runtime so my question is how much the NAS disk will be involved in video editing if I have Premiere Pro installed on the system disk (SSD) and use the second SSD for scratch disk. Video clips will be on the NAS.
Can the videoediting still be fast when rendering and exporting contents except that final storage to NAS will not be lightspeed fast. Any comments on this usage are highly appreciated.
/Stefan

Stefan,
I'm not sure from your post whether your plans are to continue working solely with DV video or whether you have some plans in the future for HD formats.
In any case, I think that you would be much better served by making changes to both your hardware plans and workflow more along the lines of the following:
Single 128GB Samsung 840 Pro (don't get the std. 840, its writes are much slower) - OS/Programs; if you turn off the hibernate feature 128GB should provide plenty of space
Two 1TB 7200 rpm drives and either spread the load (projects and media on one and scratch / cache / outputs on the other) or RAID 0 them and put all files on the RAID array
Do nightly backups of media and project files to your DS111 (orgainze your directory structure so scratch, cache, and output files can be easily ignored from the backup)
This plan with give you way more speed and improved redundancy as well (as the DS111 is only a single drive unit).
With your new faster system you would probably enjoy using the local drives for photo editing work as well, especially if you go with the 2x RAID 0 array option.
Finally, you should probably increase the RAM of your new build to 32GB; what Windows 7/8 does not use for programs is does use for disk caching and that tends to speed things up for photo and video editing workflows.

Jim

Consumption for make to order

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement ...." When I run MRP for the sale order for the finished product , system is creating palnning praposals for FERT material BOM and next level BOM'S also. But my requirement is If stocks are there , system has to consume the stocks first of all RM's and HALB materials" .
I have maintained Collective requirements in MRP4 view for all materials , but still system is not considering my stocks .
Plz suggest me how to achieve this .
Thanks & regards
Prabhakar

Hi,
MRP will create dependent requirements for Raw Materials and HALB materials based on the FERT requirement. If system does not find available inventory for Raw Materials and HALB to meet the demand it will create the planning proposal (Planned Order) for lower level elements also.
Go to MD04 screen for the HALB materials and check what is the current situation (stocks...dependent reservations etc...)
Try and revert back.

Swapnil

Use only sales unit for a material in a sales order

Hi experts,
Sorry in advance if my question has already been asked before. I looked for an answer in forums but I can't find it.
One of my colleague told me about a customizing point which I can't find.
When creating a sales order, for some materials we have defined a sales unit. Conversion units have been maintained in Additional data.
The problem is that it is still possible to order material using base unit.
I want to know if it possible to fill an item with base unit and to have an automatic conversion into sales unit and how.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Create another purchase order for a material ordered in full

Hello friends,
I have a little MM question for you.
I've created a purchase requisition with a material A and quantity 100 UN
I've then created a purchase order in reference to this PR.
This PO has been released.
Is it possible, in standard SAP, to create another purchase order in reference to the same purchase requisition for the same material and the same quantitiy ?
How does SAP control that ? (customizing path ??)
Regards,
Bahia.

Dear,
Is it possible, in standard SAP, to create another purchase order in reference to the same purchase requisition for the same material and the same quantitiy ? Yes it is possible in SAP
How does SAP control that ? (customizing path ??): SAP controls in that way, when ever you create purchase requisition with a material A and quantity 100 UN...Now PO created and released...
Now again if you try to create PO wrt PR, you can observe this time you will get all deatils in PO without quantity...reason behind that is, you have already released an order for full qty w.r.t. that PR...So this time qty field will be empty..You have to manually enter this field.
Now the same you can see in the the PR status in ME53N Tcode.

Re-packaging in Sales Process - Use of Packg Mat. for next production Order

Dear All,
We will combine 7 diferent products under Semi-finished goods ( that means we no need shipping box, shipping box lable for 7 mentioned products) into one shipping box and we call the last one is MMR Compo-packs. Theoretically, we have to produce 7 diferent products before we combine them into the last one. However, some of 7 diferent products have been keeping in stock under finished goods (FGs).
That means they used the shipping box & shipping box label already so that we want to unpack these FGs to make the MMR compo-packs and re-used the shipping box & shipping box label for the next production process order.
So, the question like that can we reverse the shipping box & the shipping box label when we convert the FGs to the semi finished goods in system?
Please guide us on the same. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Maheshaa

Hi,
If in the process of manufacturing and packing the FG you used a production order to consume both the SFG and the box, you could reverse this process by reversing the confirmations/goods movements in the production order (in the case that the orders are still open). This way you get back in stock your SFGs and boxes, just the way you want.
However, if the production orders are closed already, then you need a new production order (special case) to dismantle the FG into SFG and box.

Mario

Billing schedule Dates using a BAPI/FM for a sales order line

Hello,
I am trying to update a sales order line with an Item category which inturn updates the Billing Plan.
I am able to update the sales order with required details and the default billing plan.
Now I want to change the Billing schedule i.e the Billing Plan dates Invoice end date and the percantage etc whcih I am trying to do using
SD_ORDER_BILLING_SCHEDULE AND BILLING_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN AND THEN BILLING_SCHEDULE_SAVE.
This for some reason will not update the Billing schedule.
It triggers the user exists etc but even though I pass all the required details in the Old and new FPLA and FPLT tables...it is not helping.
When I tried using BILLING_SCHEDULE_DIALOG it opens the screen with the Billing plan in edit mode.
Is there any other way to do the updates.I tried changing in the User exist etc. I also checked the program sdfpla02.
Many thanks,
Krishna.

Order Related Intercompany business process for Service material

Hi
I am looking for some info on Intercompany Business Process for service material - Order related.
I have created Sales order (ZBOR) copied from standard sales order (TA / OR), a billing document (ZIVA) copied from IVA, an item category (ZTAD) copied from TAD standard.
A material type used is DIEN (Services).
Note 63459 indicated that I have to use a copy requirement 613 for item category ZTAD. The copy requirement 613 was created by copying requirement 013 according to the attached reference.
I did the same according to the note. When I tried to create first billing document i.e. to end customer, its fine.
When I create second billing document i.e. intercompany billing, its going to first pricing procedure and end customer as Payee, which should not happen. Rather it should go to intercompany pricing procedure (ICAA01) and to Internal customer as payee.
Can someone guide me how to solve this issue?

when i run intercompany billing (ZIVA), it goes to copy control routines 613 , buts its picking end customer pricing procedure and payee as end customer , not picking intercompany pricing procedure and internal customer as Payee.
I am not sure what to do with 613 routinees as suggested by OSS note. All is i created this 613 copying from 13.
Do i need to develop the logic of picking correct intercompany pricing procedure i.e ICAA01 , and need to get the right payee and some header information in this 613 routine . which means automatic pricing procedure determination is not done using customization in Order related Intercompany billing . Am i right to understand?
Please suggest me how do i solve this issue.
Please send it to my [email protected] email too.
