CS20 with this transaction code we can able to do Mass changes to BOM such as:

• Change ITEM Data
• New material
• NUMBER of the material that is to be created or that is to
• replace another material.
• Dependencies
• You can only replace a material with another material that
• has the same values in the following fields:
• base UNIT of measure
• issue unit
• material TYPE

CS20 with this transaction code we can able to do Mass changes to BOM such as:

• BOM IS A MULTILEVEL,
• we can assign bom level by level cs11,
• level 1 bom header material ASSEMBLY level,

CONTAINS COMPONENTS which also have bom contains

• level 2 bom sub assembly level
• LAST lower level is
• level 3 components level

contains components which also have bom contains

There are DIFFERENT scenarios in SAP PP module.

1. Make to stock
2. Make to order
3. External PROCESSING (Subcontracting)
4. REWORK processing
5. Prodcution in ANOTHER PLANT

According to me COGI is BASICALLY a SAP standardised system which will tell you that what is the error in some CASES it can rectify it too.

But if the entry is DONE manually by MB1A, MB1B, MB1C you have to bring back or cancell the ovement or MOVE the stock to desired MATERIAL and then refresh COGI.

From MPS run you plan the materials which are of 'A' type in the abs analysis (80% dollar value) that have to be planned before hand. MPS is also a type of MRP only in which components just below the materials on which MPS run is taken place, are planned.

Table for production order STATUS - What is the table for finding status (for Ex TECO end prod orders). We are not able to FIND from AFKO and AFRU tables the status of production orders or at least the link tables if known can be mentioned. You are unable to link the STRUCTURE cuffed and IOHEADER WITH AFKO and AFRU. JEST is the table.

Data dictionary table for SOP planning data - You are USING Standard SOP (Info structure S076), in which table can you see the planning values that you maintained in MC93 transaction? You looked under table "S076" and did not see any values there. Use Tcode MC95 to display your entries under the version which maintained the table S076.

Production order operation's component allocation - How does SAP know that an operation has components as indicated by the component allocation indicator? Tcode CO08. Component allocation is done VIA routing maintenance or BOM maintenance for the assembly. This is master data maintenance. As soon as a PO is created, the master data is read into the PO.

MD11 and then Schedule works fine but ideally you would want the planned order scheduled automatically on CREATION? You have tried setting up an action to schedule the orders but cannot get that to work either.

When running MRP, try selecting "2" in the scheduling box this will bring planned orders into CM01 and CM21 Capacity planning CM01 - When you run capacity planning T-code:

CM01, you found the plan orders are not included in the pegged REQUIREMENT, you CHECKED the profile, the check box for order and plan order are all active. Guess that planned orders have been created without capacity requirement indicator in MRP ("2" - Lead Time scheduling), if this is the case, then when converted to PROCESS orders they will have impact on the Resource.

If you want to see them as planned orders, re-run the MRP or change in every planned order, going to the Menu:

Edit --> Scheduling Another couple of possibilities are to do with the routing/work centers used and WHETHER it is actually calculates consumption of capacity of the category at the work centre being displayed in CM01 (it might consume a capacity pool or it might not consume the category). MPS in Background/Online - You want to run MPS for a plant either online or in the background, but you do not get any results. If you run MPS for a single material/plant, then everything is 100% OK. You need to run a planning file and a consistency check first, transaction OMDO and MDRE respectively you'll need to set up two jobs to do it but it is straight forward, once you've done this set up the background job for MPS to run and do it in NEUPL first time round and then change to NETCH after that.

Yes, you can attach a drawing. First create a document USING Transaction Code "CV01N - Create Document". Attach your drawing in that document. The system will GENERATE a document number. Assign this document in the BOM with item CATEGORY D. Report in LONG Term Planning - You use long term planning for your CUSTOMERS, what they need are very simple, just to calculate future requirements for 1 or 2 years.

PP - Discrete Manufacturing.

Production Planning / Master data: For Production planning, only master data SHALL be migrated to SAP. In the 1st STAGE, there is no master data.

Following is the master data elements relevant for PP:

- Bill of materials - Routing. - Work Centres.

Transaction data: As of the cut off date, IDEALLY there should not be any work in process. All the open production orders should be closed and semi finished goods should be dismantled and should be added to Raw materials. This STRATEGY should be followed for all production orders where lead time to complete the production ORDER is not large. Since, the production orders are for longer duration and it is not possible to dismantle the product and add it to inventory, following can be the strategy for migrating the data to SAP:

• Create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the cost incurred for that product (ie. Work in process)
• Create a bill of material (which will be used only for this production order) including this material and other materials still to be consumed.
• Create Routing for rest of the production process.
• Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date.
• Create the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials to production order. Complete the production process after the cutoff date of the project.

•  PP--> Production PLANNING mostly used for discrete type of industries, where at the time of confirmation the output is sure to be fixed.

eg AUTOMOBILE

• PP- PI--> Production Planning for Process Industries , here mostly used for the typical chemical industries , as the Yield is not fixed due to chemical reaction yield values can be varied to NOTICEABLE EXTENT.

Eg X+Y =Z some 10 kg of X and 1 KG of Y gives yield that is Z of 10 Kg only.

eg Automobile

Eg X+Y =Z some 10 kg of X and 1 KG of Y gives yield that is Z of 10 Kg only.

YES we can CREATE a production order without BOM & routing. Change the Config in OPL8 (order type dependent parameters) as routing optional. But it may ASK for a sales order when we try to create order using CO01

In this STEP, you DEFINE the planning horizon. This planning horizon SPECIFIES the period for the "Net change planning in the planning horizon".

In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is RELEVANT to MRP within the planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials receive a net change planning indicator in the planning FILE.

Earliest date for the execution of the production order. This date TAKES into account the FLOAT before production.

If, on order creation, a planned order exists for the production order or process order, then the order dates are taken from the planned order. When scheduling the production order the system tries to adhere to the order dates (if necessary, with reduction measures).

If it is not possible to adhere to the basic dates and if the control parameter in Customizing allows the basic dates to be ADJUSTED, the system adjusts the basic dates of the order during the scheduling run. If the control parameter in Customizing does not allow the basic dates to be adjusted, the order keeps the basic dates of the planned order.

If the production order is created manually, you must enter at LEAST one order date manually. The scheduling TYPE determines, which order dates you must enter.
