Using MRP to plan weeks supply

How do we get MRP to consider multiple plants (WERKS) when comparing to an overall inventory target? (Safety stock or weeks supply)

Hi,
Use scope of planning.
It means we can link multiple plants or
Single MRP area or
Several MRP areas or
Plants and MRP areas.

Can we use MRP to plan for FERT in-house produced with PIR's & has Min/Max

Hi SAP Guru's
I have a very critical issue from the client who wants to use MIN/ MAX stock values for planning its finished products (in-house produced)
here is the details of the scenario
Client recieves 2 Excel files every week from customer
1st file contains the Weekly Demand Forecast of FERT material for next 1 year and they upload it in MD61 as PIR's BUT this value is also Inclusive of Safety stock value (ex: if weekly demand entered in MD61 as PIR is 50 and if safety stock value is 10, then actual demand is only 40)
2nd file send contains only safety stock values (for ex in this case let it = 10) to be maintained for the FERT materials
the client wants MRP to plan and trigger based on this PIR's in MD61 and Safety stock level fand plan for FERT, HALB and also ROH materials as defined in the BOM also taking into consideration the current WIP levels (Work in progress for any existing production orders currently being processed) based on the production Lead times values maintained
so what the client wants is they want to maintain 2 stock values, that is one least stock value and other higher value which if stock falls below this point, will trigger production based on the lead time and considering any WIP levels also
(for ex in this case if PIR = 50 and safety stock is 10, MRP run result client wants is = 30 and NOT =40)
so here are my questions
1. is this scenario feasible? use safety stock and min/max level for in-house produced finished which has demand PIRs in MD61 at the same time?
2. Also due to SOX complaince regulations, the client does not want to change the forecast values in MD61, so is it possible to make some settings so that forecast is corrected by WIThOUT including the safety stock value in it? ( for ex: in this case as = 40 only and NOt as 50)
3. which all settings should i maintain like for MRP type or lot size or stock qty levels or anyother customizations if any required so that when we run MRP, can it ignore the safety stock value and generate the client desired output?
thank u verymuch for your time & expert advice in advance

Hi Chakri,
This is not possible as per standard functionality. MRP always creates proposals for the shortage quantity of the safety stock. We have used the user exit in the plant level MRP run to exclude both plant and safety stock in the net requirements calculation.
You have to write logic to convert the safety stock into plant stock in the user exit so there will be no additional procurement proposals...you can create custom indicatar in materail master or linked any existing indicator like MRP group to the user exits so the MRP will checks this and will not create proposals for the selected parts.
If you have any questions then please inform.

"CLOSED":How to plan inventory from multiple orgs simultaneously using MRP?

Hello everybody,
How to plan inventory from multiple organizations simultaneously using SCP?
My customer found that in supply chain planning (MRP) system always plans in single manufacturing organization, say, ATC, firstly. If set in organization item master, the source type as 'Inventory' and the source organization as another trading organization name, say, ANX. if there is insufficient inventory in ATC, SCP-MRP would plan in ANX, disregard of the inventory exist in ANX for the item.
But for some items, there are both inventory in ATC and ANX and we want plan BOTH their inventory simultaneously instad of firstly ATC and then ANX.
Is there any standard function in Oracle that can do so? I found that the sourcing rule cannot help in this case.
A simple test case is described in
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_4607/5580425.992/Alternative_to_plan_multi-org_MRP.doc
Thanks

Catalina,
Net the inventory simultaneously? Its not quite clear what your client wants.
Even in the old SCP, you can use sourcing rules to first net inventory in org1 and then net the inventory in org 2 via a transfer from rule. The key point is it is always incremental based on where you place teh demand and then you provide source to fill that demand.
One restriction that ASCP still has up to 11.5.10 is that you can only have sourcing rules going in one direction. This means that you can't have a rule that sources ORG1 from ORG2 for item A, then have the revers in ORG2 sourcing from ORG1. That won't work, ASCP will randomly ignore one of the rules.
The best choice may be to use GOP with a sourcing split % so that yo do consider the inventory in both orgs when demanding the order, but it would still be done by checking ORG1 then ORG2.
Hope this helps.

Forecast based planning -weekly schedules split -reg

Hi,
our requirement is we use forecast based planning where in both forecast periods and historical periods are months
then when fore cast is run requirement is coming in Md04 in monthly buckets only
when we run MRP the out put schedules should come in weekly bucket taking this monthly requirement
how to get that
as we understand weekly demand can be cumulated to get schedules on monthly but monthly demand can not be split in to weekly schedules as output
any thoughts
regards,
Madhu

Hi,
There's a customization transaction where you can define splitting of forecast requirements for MRP.
Go SPRO, Materials management, Consumption based planning, Forecast, Define Splitting of Forecast Requirements for MRP.

MRP Collective Planning -v- project

Dear PP Experts
We have an established project manufacturing environment with demand generated in PS resulting in project production orders, project supply orders and eventually project stock. This stock is then kitted to the project production order. All through this process MRP is happy with the demand = supply picture.
To enable an improvement in purchasing with more successful grouped PO concepts and less inventory, we wish to use the collective planning flag on the material master for many components. This allows the supply side of MRP to be consolidated into non-project supply where the stock comes in as plant stock and then is issued to the project production order.
As our demand is still project we have some electronic components that are inspected or validated to a particular standard for a particular project. We want to move these to project stock to safeguard their use. MRP is still using the collective planning logic and effectively ignores the project stock.
The logic we believe MRP should use if the Material Master u201Ccollective planningu201D flag is active:-
IF demand is from a project AND there is a project stock
     Use any project stock first.
ELSE
     Use any plant stock that is available
ELSE
     Create a collectively planned supply order for the missing components.
We have looked at many options (e.g. GPD, project sharing) but none support this concept successfully. Has anybody tried to implement this scenario in SAP or tried to modify MRP to do something similar. ?
Thanks, Daniel

Antony
Many thanks for the reply, we have looked at this and unfortunately the issue for us is that the demand is plant specific u201Cin one plantu201D, the BOMu2019s and in logistics and organisation need to all be in the same plant. If we used MRP areas to drive this we would have to net the demand across the two plants. For this to work we would need to have the normal demand (the collective planning) in one plant with the associated BOMu2019s and production orders with another plant that has the separate (individual components) project demand. The real challenge is that we can not have a single demand (BOMu2019s, orders, etc) in a single plant for all.

Sufficient stock but MRP create planned order and purchase requisition .

Hi Expert,
After MRP run planned order and purchase requisition created . but the problem is for child material sufficient is there but still PR and plnd order is created .
MRP type PD, LOT size EX,Strategy group 10, for testing purpose I made safety stock 0, min lot size 0 , max lot size 0.
I cant find the cause why MRP create PR and Pland order for the material which has sufficient stock. Please help.

Dear Anirban
could you check the following master data value:
Lot size -> MB Monthly ( only for test)
Rounding value -> null
Strategy 40 MTS.
You can try with this setting in order to figure out what is the problem.
You can check also orizzon planning and re-scheduling (set to 999).
Let me know if i have been useful for you

Custom program to insert and firm new planned order supply

Hello,
Can anyone point me to the Oracle package/procedure that is used in ASCP workbench to insert and firm a new planned order supply? Would like to call this proceudre from a custom program.
Cheers!

There is no api to insert data into a given plan but Oracle allows you to use the "Legacy Collections" to import/create various data elements (such as Reqs, PO, Planned orders etc.)
See "Legacy Collections" sections in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13358/T309464T309470.htm#T309821
Keep in mind that this takes time to setup. So make ensure that this is the right solution before proposing it.

Profit Planning Weekly in CO-PA

Is it possible profit planning weekly in CO-PA?
I activated weekly postings in Operating Concern. However planning layout has no weekly characteristic.
Thanks

Hi,
In CO-PA planning you can work only with weeks or periods, but not with both at the same time. When you plan in weeks, the data are stored with the week information (ALTPERIO) as well as with the period information (PERIO). In some cases (when the week belongs to the two periods) the assigment PERIO x ALTPERIO is not unique (e.g. week 001.2008 belongs to Dec and Jan).
The CO-PA planning posts records either according to months or weeks. But it doesn´t allow for planning in weeks to distinguish or to consider month period. It means that for week planning the info in field PERIO is not taken in account and only according ALTPERIO amounts are distributed .
Normally when you create new layout, a popup should be displayed, where you can select what time dimension will you use in layout: periods or weeks. Once you select 'periods' in the popup, the characteristic ALTPERIO (week/year) is not available in layout anymore.
Please try to create new layout again:
1. Start KE14
2. Fill in the layout name and press 'Create' icon
3. The periodicity popup occurs: select 'Week planning'
Then the char. ALTPERIO should be available.
regards

IMessage using my data plan

I received a text message from AT&T this morning saying that I had used 65% of my data plan already (it is the second week of February). I don't use the internet or internet using apps very often, so I was very confused when this happened. I called apple and they proceeded to tell me that when I'm not in a wifi area, my iMessage will use my data plan. If this application comes with the iphone 4s , then why isn't there a way to disable it when on the 3g network only? I want to be able to use the iMessage application, but cannot afford the unlimited data plan in order to do so. This is ridiculous, so if anyone else is having this problem, please write back. Also, if anyone has figured out how to disable iMessage just in 3g areas (for the 4s), please let me know.

Either don't use iMessage while on 3G or turn 3G off ENTIRELY under Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data OFF.

Costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order

Dear all,
How the costing affect with MRP at planned order level and after production order completion?
Edited by: Maulik on Jun 24, 2009 1:59 PM

Dear Maulik,
check Mr. Vinod's inputs abt costing
1. Maintain following master data:
MM01 Material Master with Costing and accounting view. Make sure all the cost Std, Moving avg etc is maintained along with valuation class in Accounting view 1. In costing tab pls make sure "with qty structure" and "Material Origin" are ticked.
CS01 BOM with components marked with costing relevance in Status/Long Text Tab. Also check all the qty are correct.
CR01 Work Center in Basic data tab maintain standard value key sau SAP1 and in costing tab maintain the workcenter, activity type and formulas (Usually standard formulas like for Machine Hours SAP006, Labour SAP007, Setup Activity SAP005 is used).
KL01 Cretae activity types, in basic data tab maintain ATyp Category AS "1" and cost element (as provided by your FI Guy).
KP26 Activity pricing, here with the combination of Activity type and the cost center you assign price to the activity.
2. SPRO Activity
Maintain Costing sheet IMGControllingProd cost controllingProd Cost PlanningBasic settingoverheadsdefine costing sheet.
OKKN Define costing variant, you define costing type (In the costing type, you define the purpose of a material cost estimate by specifying, for example, which field in the material master record the costing results can be transferred to like std price, moving avg etc), Valuation Variant (defines how the prices are prioratized), date control and transfer structure.
3. Costing Process Flow:
1. CK11N CREATE COSTING RUN
2. CK24 CREATE PRICE UPDATE (You Mark and release the prce to be updated)
4. COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
1. OPL1 DEFINE COSTING VARIANT WRT PP
2. OKK4 or OPN2 DEFINE VALUATION VARIANT
3. OKK1 or OPM1 DEFINE COSTING TYPE
4. OPL8 ORDERTYPE DEPENDENT PARAMETER (assign the above creted costing type for both planned and actual)
Hope this will throw some light on product costing.

MRP based planning

hi guys,
what is MRP based planning and why it is used?Under what conditions do we go for MRP based plannig for procurement of materials?

I will suggest you to read the SAP help on MRP first.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d3f9344af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Anyway i am trying to explainn you this functionality:
The Concept Of MRP in SAP
MRP in brief :
MRP is the planning tool in SAP which will look at all aspects of a material and is highly based upon the master data of the material. MRP looks at current inventory, current requirements, open purchase req/orders and so on. So if a material is required to satisfy a sales order and there is no inventory, MRP will create a planned order if the item is to be produced in house. This planned order can then be converted to a production order by the master scheduler. If the item is to be procured, then MRP will create a purchase req which the Buyer will convert to a purchase order. This is just one scenario, the system is highly configurable and will do pretty much whatever you tell based on config and master data.
Consumption based planning
- Reorder planning
- Forecast based planning
- Time phased planning
Details of re-order planning
Our motive is to maintain optimum stock level of all the material included in the resource planning. so in this user or system sets a particular quantity of stock as reorder point . Whenever stock quantity fall below this point(reorder point) mrp comes into action and generates procurement proposals according to the settings done in implementation guide
MRP run procedure
1. Create requirement or demand in MD61
2. MRP run by MD02 for a single material
3. See the result in stock requirement list in MD04.
MRP run we can carry out by
1. MD02 - single item multi level
2 .MD03 - single item single level
3 .MD01 - Total planning
4. MD04 Check MRP
5. MD05 MRP lists

GR Processing time using MRP areas

Hi Experts,
I have setup where the same materials is purhcased but planned indemendent using MRP areas. There is a requirement to maintain a different GR Processing time to the material depending on the MRP area. I am only able to maintain the GR processing time on the "general material master" and not in the MRP areas.
Please give me input on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Anders

Hi,
I have
1) created a MRP Profile with GP processing time 1.
2) on MRP 2 left the GR processing time blank =0
3) Assigned a MRP are to the material with reference to the MRP profile
= GR processing time updated in MRP2 view
Do you have other suggestions?

Anyone ever use the global plan for an 5c

Going to France next week with a iPhone 5c. Has anyone used the global plan? How's it work, dialing numbers both in France and US?

Roger1968,
Traveling is always an exciting time! And being able to use your phone while traveling is definitely important.
Our Global plan are awesome! You can get 100 minutes, 100 text to send, and 100MB for only $40. If you only want to use data you can add the $25 and receive 100Mb to use.
While in France and you want to call the USA, just dial Plus Sign then 1 then ten digit U.S. number. To call a number in France just dial Plus Sign then Country Code then Local Number with Area Code (if applicable). For complete details you can visit http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/tripplanner/tripplannercontroller. Once there enter the country you will be visiting and your phone model. It will provide all the info you need. Keep us posted of you need further assistance.

Can i use HP 90 watt power supply in place of my 120 watt?

I have an HP Elitebook 6930p, that uses a 120 watt power supply. It's output is 18.5 volts and 6.5 Amps.
I have another power supply that I want to use when I take my laptop home. It is from a different HP laptop computer and is only a 90 watt power supply. It's output is 19 volts and 4.74 Amps. Can I use this power supply to run my laptop? Thank you for your help. Al

i have hp pavillion dv6t-7000 quad edition and it has 120 watts 19.5 volts but unfortunately the charger is not working anymore,ive tried my gfs dell charger which is 90 watts 19.5 volts...its workinng on my laptop but if you play games like nba 2k13 it will gonna be so laggy or very slow....i bought 120 watts 18.5 volts smart ac adapter on amazon and its working on my laptop also but im still experiencing laggness a little bit...but its better than the 90 watts 19.5 volts of my gf...maybe that her charger makes my laptop get a lil bit slower and laggy....now im planning to reformat my laptop to put it back to its normal speed again...
