Vendor lot sizing

Dear Expert,
I have requirement to use different lot sizing for each vendor.
Background of this requirement because in my company, there are some material that can be procured with more than 1 vendor (use quota arrangement).
For example :
we want to purchase material X.
for material X there is quota arrangement with vendor A (60%) and vendor B (40%).
vendor A will delivered material Weekly.
vendor B will delivered material monthly.
when we have requirements like below :
Date                           Element               Quantity
3 Oct 2011                 Req                         -10
11 Oct 2011               Req                         -20
19 Oct 2011               Req                         -30
27 Oct 2011               Req                         -40
when i want to running MRP, my expectation is below:
Date                           Element               Quantity
3 Oct 2011                 PR Vendor A           6    (total quantity weekly * quota = 10 * 60%)
3 Oct 2011                 PR Vendor B           40  (total quantity monthly * quota = 100 * 40%)
3 Oct 2011                 Req                         -10
10 Oct 2011               PR Vendor A          12    (total quantity weekly * quota = 20 * 60%)
11 Oct 2011               Req                         -20
17 Oct 2011               PR Vendor A          18    (total quantity weekly * quota = 30 * 60%)
19 Oct 2011               Req                         -30
24 Oct 2011               PR Vendor A          24    (total quantity weekly * quota = 40 * 60%)
27 Oct 2011               Req                         -40
Recently, because i only set lot sizing (use monthly) in material master, when i run MRP the result like below:
Date                           Element               Quantity
3 Oct 2011                 PR Vendor A           60  (total quantity monthly * quota = 100 * 60%)
3 Oct 2011                 PR Vendor B           40  (total quantity monthly * quota = 100 * 40%)
3 Oct 2011                 Req                         -10
11 Oct 2011               Req                         -20
19 Oct 2011               Req                         -30
27 Oct 2011               Req                         -40
i have explore this requirement and find solution use planning calendar, but to set planning calendar for each vendor must activate SAP retail and my company not activate it.
is there any solution to achieve my requirement.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hi,
Can you check whether Time Phased Planning in R3 suits your needs.Here you define Planning cycle along with delivery cycle.

  • Multiple PR's being created even though the Lot Sizing procedure is WB.

    The issue is system is creating more than one PR every week even though the lot sizing procedure is WB. The MRP type of the material is P3 and planning time fence is 21 days. The PR's created have the date of every week's Monday. There's also a quota arrangement for the material having two vendors, so two PR's both having different vendors are ok but system is creating multiple PR's for same vendor on same date.
    Do let me know if anything else you want to know to understand this issue.
    We want system to create only one PR per week for a vendor.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh.

    Hi,
    First thing theres a lot size WB
    What is the qty of the PR have u maintianined any min lot sice or max lot size.
    Coming to quota arrangement how did u maintained it
    For eg
    You might have maintained for a vendor 1 maximum qty as 100 and u have raised a request for 200 so it is raising two prs
    Check u r quota arrangement once

  • 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...

  • Lot sizing procedure

    Hello
    Why it is said that "Periodic lot sizing procedure is suitable for forecast based planning"?
    Also please tell what is use of Subsequent settlement indicator in vendor master record?
    Thanks & Regards
    P.S.P

    Hi
    Sub seq settlement Indicates that conditions providing for subsequent settlement may apply to this vendor.
    Set this indicator if subsequent (end-of-period) settlement can be agreed with this vendor.

  • MRP Lot-Sizing Procedures PK

    Hi experts,
    When we use lot-sizing procedures PK, I have a problem about it.
    Can you please kindly help me.
    The problem is.
    When we run MRP and get the release date as past date in purchase requisition.
    I would not like system to propose release date as past date.
    Do we need more configuration for using lot-sizing procedures PK ?
    The settings are mentioned as below.
    * material master
    - Lot size in MRP1 view : PK
    - MRP Type in MRP1 view : PD
    - Procurement type in MRP2 view : F
    * MRP parameters
    - Processing key : NETCH
    - Create purchase req. : 1 (Purchase requisitions)
    - Delivery schedules : 3 (Schedule lines)
    - Create MRP list : 1 (MRP list)
    - Planning mode : 1 (Adapt planning data (normal mode))
    - Scheduling : 2 (Lead Time Scheduling and Capacity Planning)

    please read below for the detail explanation of the  release date.
    please check the example part of below.
    wish it help.
    tks.
    Purchase Requisition Release Date
    Specifies the date on which the purchase order
    should be initiated on the basis of the purchase
    requisition.
    The release date is based on:
    The
         purchasing department processing time defined for the plant
    The
         planned delivery time from the material
         master record or purchasing
         info record
    The
         delivery date
    The
         goods receipt processing time from the material master record
    Note
    The planned delivery time from the
    purchasing info record and the GR processing time are only taken into account
    if the purchase requisition was generated via materials
    planning.
    Example
    Processing time Planned del. GR processing
    Purchasing time time
    |----------|---------------------|--------|
    Release PO Delivery Date
    date date date required
    Date required: 01.10.2007
    GR processing time: 2 days (working days)
    Planned delivery time: 10 days (calendar days)
    Purchasing dept processing time: 2 days (working days)
    For the material to be available on the
    date it is needed, the purchase requisition must be released on 13.09.2007
    (requirement date less GR processing time, planned delivery time, and
    purchasing department processing time).

  • Use of periodic lot sizing in SNP heuristics

    I am using APO V5.1.
    I am using the standard APO SNP heuristic, and have periodic lot sizing working OK, with a 2 week periodic type.
    But I want to try and model the fact that certain products are to be produced in 'even' weeks and other products are to be produced in 'odd' weeks.
    I thought that the use of different planning calendars for the different products would help here, but I do not think SNP is recognising the planning calendars.
    Any other ideas on this?...

    hI,
    Wanted to know if you have checked the option and tryed the same in system since the helptext says the same will not be considered by optimizer but will be considerd by heuristic.
    Period Lot Size
    Specifies that a period lot-sizing procedure is used in Supply Network Planning (SNP) and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS).
    Use
    Use in SNP
    This indicator is only used in heuristic-based planning (and not in optimization-based planning). If you set this indicator, the system groups the demand quantities of several consecutive periods together and creates orders to fulfill the quantity of this combined demand.
    The period type and number of periods can be entered in the accompanying fields Period Type and No. of Periods. You can set the start time for the grouping in the Lot Size Grp. Start field.
    The settings you make in the Lot Size Strategy field govern the period in which the combined demand is placed and the demand fulfillment order is created.
    When calculating lot sizes and creating orders, the system considers all the other lot size settings from the location product master, such as minimum and maximum lot size, rounding value, and rounding profile.
    Now for the solution you are thinking if possible you can divide the plant in two parts if the materials are accounted differntly and keep two different  factory calendars for the same and go ahead.This may be not a good solution but I thought I can share this with you.
    Hope this can help.

  • Alternate Lot Sizing for KMAT (configurable) materials

    Hi friends,
    We are using KMAT(configurable) materials.
    During MPS/MRP run, SAP plans KMAT production with Lot-to-Lot production(EX) by default!
    We have some capacity planning situations, due to which, we need the lot sizing options like u2018Fixed lot (FX) sizeu2019 or u2018Fixed lot size with splitting(FS)u2019 or even use of u2018Min-Max lot sizeu2019... so that the large requirements are transferred in smaller lots to the plant.
    But, when we use any of these lot- sizing procedures in MRP1 screen of the material master, we do not find any difference in MRP resultsu2026 system just triggers the planned order exactly matching the Sales order quantity (as if we still use EX)!
    SAP notes 437098 and 724235 hint that the alternate lot sizing procedures are possible to set up for configurable materials... but we are struggling to crack this.
    If any of you have had an opportunity to work on alternate or custom lot sizing procedures with KMAT (configurable) materials, it would be wonderful to hear the suggestions and results.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Offset in planned order with weekly lot sizing.

    Hi,
    After i run MRP with a weekly lot sizing procedure, avaiability date = start of the period, the MRP groups all planned orders of the week at the first requirements date of that week.
    But what i need is to put that group of the planned orders in the last working day of the week before.
    For example:
    Week
    Friday Week n
    Week n+1
    Ind. Requirements
    0
    1
    1
    1
    1
    1
    Planned order
    5
    Can you please help me how to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mike

    Hi,
    It is possible by configuring a version of the standart weekly lot sizing procedure. In customization for lot sizing procedures (tr. OMI4), copy the lot sizing procedure WB and name it. In the detail settings of the procedure set the scheduling field to 1. This makes the delivery date of the procurement proposal the period start (you requirement is the last day of the previous period, however this is the best next option). You may press F1 after clicking on this field and learn about other options. Please assign this new procedure to the material and test it.
    Regards.

  • Weekly Lot-sizing yielding incorrect Planned Order dates

    Hi All,
    need a help..
    Lot-sizing key = W2 (weekly)
    "Scheduling" on the config of the lot-sizing key = 3 (Period start := start and period end := delivery date). This data has been maintained for a material that is to be planned/produced on a weekly basis.
    Requirement --- Weekly planning on my material. MRP should return Planned Orders with Start Date = Reqt Date (of the Dependent reqt) & End date = Availability date (of the dep reqt).
    Currently, the system is calculating the "only" hours on the basis of the Routing data (I'm running Lead Time Scheduling) while creating Planned Orders during the MRP run against my expectation of spanning the production/order out over multiple days (per the lot-sizing config)
    Any clue would be of a great help
    cheers

    Thanks Mario,
    Had found that out during the course of my testing. I'm doing a Lead Time Sched, so obviously my reqt can't be met..
    So, we can conclude that though a weekly lot-sizing procedure is/could be compatible with LTS, the Config within the lot-size (field Scheduling = 3) cannot be used to influence the dates on the created Planned Orders...
    Cheers

  • Regarding lot sizing procedure in Pharma scenario.

    Hi PP Gurus,
    I have a scenario for lot sizing for small and big batches of a product.
    For example, let us say the order quantity is
    Case 1: 1000 kg of finished product
    then the fixed lot size will be 500 kg (which is small batch size) and 2 batches will be taken for production
    Case2: 3000 kg of finished product
    then fixed lot size will be 1000 kg (which is big lot size) and 3 batches will be taken for production
    Could anybody please help to propose solution for such scenarios?
    Thanks,
    Abu Arbab

    Hi
    You may use FS Fixed Lot Size with Splitting for that purpose.

  • Lot-sizing procedures

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody please explain difference between following lot-sizing procedures.
    static lot-sizing procedures
    period lot-sizing procedures
    optimum lot-sizing procedures
    It will very much helpful if explain with example. Will appreciate with deserving point.

    Dear Raja,
    Pls. find details about Lot Sizing Procedures :
    Static Lot-Sizing Procedures
    Use
    In static lot-sizing procedures, the procurement quantity is calculated exclusively by means of the quantity specifications entered in the material master.
    Features
    The following static lot-sizing procedures are available:
    Lot-for-lot order quantity
    Fixed lot size
    Fixed lot size with splitting and overlapping
    Replenishment up to maximum stock level
    Period Lot-Sizing Procedures
    Use
    In period lot-sizing procedures, the system groups several requirements within a time interval together to form a lot.
    Features
    You can define the following periods:
    days
    weeks
    months
    periods of flexible length equal to posting periods
    freely definable periods according to a planning calendar
    The system can interpret the period start of the planning calendar as the availability date or as the delivery date.
    Splitting and overlapping are also possible for all period lot-sizing procedures
    The system sets the availability date for period lot-sizing procedures to the first requirements date of the period. However, you can also define that the availability date is at the beginning or end of the period.
    Optimum Lot-Sizing Procedures
    Use
    In static and period lot-sizing procedures, the costs resulting from stockkeeping, from the setup procedures or from purchasing are not taken into consideration. The aim of optimum lot-sizing procedures, on the other hand, is to group shortages together in such a way that costs are minimized. These costs include lot size independent costs (setup or order costs) and storage costs.
    Taking Purchasing as an example, the following problem hereby arises:
    If you order often, you will have low storage costs but high order costs due to the high number of orders. If you only seldom place orders then you will find that your order costs remain very low, but your storage costs will be very high since warehouse stock must be large enough to cover requirements for a much longer period.
    Features
    The starting point for lot sizing is the first material shortage date that is determined during the net requirements calculation. The shortage quantity determined here represents the minimum order quantity. The system then adds successive shortage quantities to this lot size until, by means of the particular cost criterion, optimum costs have been established.
    The only differences between the various optimum lot-sizing procedures are the cost criteria. The following procedures are available:
    Part Period Balancing
    Least Unit Cost Procedure
    Dynamic Lot Size Creation
    Groff Reorder Procedure
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Tejas

    Hi Sumeet,
    Using 2 lot sizing procedures in a single material master will not be possible.
    Also, creating 2 Valuation classes with different lot sizing for each valuated material data wont be acceptable by business.
    Here, you can create a customized lot size by copying a standard, and in to  the config of the lot size, please define Short Term and Long Term Planning details.
    IMG-> MM->Consumption Based Planning->Planning->Lot Size Calculation-> Define Lot Size Procedure->MRP Lot Size.
    Maintain Static for Short term and Dynamic lot size option for longer term and define the short term, long term intervals.
    Hope this would work.
    Thanks
