Production flow

[former_member202561]

Hi PP experts,

  It may be very basic question to you.But I want to clear the idea that's why I am asking this question.

Please give solution in details or step by step.

Now I will tell you what I have done.

Procedure 1:

I have created four materials say A (FG), B (SFG), C (SFG), D (RAW) in Quality server.

I have created BOM as,

For C, D as a BOM component,

For B, C as a BOM component,

For A , B as a BOM component

Then I have created routing for "A" material,

Then in MD61 I have created demand for 'A'=10 Qty

Then I do MD02,and through MD04 I have created the Production order and I have carried out the confirmation of the production order.

But when I checked the stock in MMBE,

For 'A' I have seen Unrestricted=10Qty

for  'B' I have seen Reserved=10Qty

For 'C' BLANK

For 'D' BLANK

But logically at machine shop, for the production of A we need the component B, for the production of B we need the component C and for the production of C we need the component D.

Then in SAP how this logic works?I want to know this.

Is something I am missing.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Sagar

Hello Sagar,

Please always remember to run your test in SAP as per your Physical Process,

When you received the requirement

1) The first steps is Procurement of Raw materials.

2) Second step is production of SFG.

3) Third step is Production of FG.

Now in SAP  for follow the steps as like Physical process,

1) Enter requirement (PIR's) at FG level.

2) Run MRP MD02 to generate dependent requirement and plan all levels .

3) Now check the PR' for Raw Materials and Planned order for SFG & FG are available in MD04 .

4) Convert the PR's into PO or schedule line and bring the stock at Raw Materials.

5) Convert the SFG Planned order to Production order and do confirmation , which in turn consumes the Raw materials (261) if the baclflush indicator is set for the components.

6)Convert planned orde of FG to SFG and do confirmation which in turn consumes the Raw materials (261) if the baclflush indicator is set for the components.

Please let me know if you have any query.

Hi Gopinath,

   Should I do MD04 for both SFG?

Also in my case after going through your reply is my understating is correct or not.

after creating the materials create BOM's as in my original post,then create routings for FG (A) and SFG's (B & C),then do MD61 for FG (A),then run MRP MD02 for FG (A),then first do MD04 for RAW (D) and convert PR into purchase order and bring raw material into stock.Then do MD04 for SFG (C) and convert planned orders into production order and do confirmation so that stock will be created for SFG (C),then again do MD04 for SFG (B) and convert planned order into production order and do confirmation so that stock will be get created for SFG (B), And again do MD04 for FG (A) and convert planned orders into production order and do confirmation then stock of FG will be created.

Is this what I understand.

Is it correct or not,if not let me know what it is.

Sagar,

Your understanding is correct!

Try always to map your physical process in SAP ,but not in the other way.

Dear sagar,

                    There is no need to do separate md04 for your each material you can do it through the md04 of your fg material then go to show overview tree click on the order report tab you can see all the dependent requirement for that fg material....

Hope this will help....

Hi,

Now after doing above mentioned process now I am getting following in MMBE

For A (FG)

For B (SFG)

For C (SFG)

For D (RAW)

As I am getting the value for FG (A) in unrestricted that means that finish material is stored in warehouse and will be used for assembly whenever is required.

Also I want to know that what I have done is right?

And I want to know the meaning of every field in MMBE,i.e What is mean by Unrestricted use,Quality inspection,reserved,etc

Please have your thoughts on this.

Sagar

Sagar,

If your initial issue/question is resolved then please close the thread and open a new discussion on your further issues.

Your MMBE question is very basic question which you can search in this forum to find many links to understand.

Please search before posting any basic questions

Hi Kiran,

  If you have the proper document which describe in detail about MMBE please do share.

Hello Sagar,

For finish material you set up well.

also check as expert suggested on above post.

Only question in my mind

Did you created routing for SFG material (Internal Production) B and C ?

If not then created first Routing for B and C material and then check once again..
And also check the MD04 screen for SFG B and C material, any Planned order created or not ?

Please check and revert

Hi,Umesh

I haven't created routing for SFG "B" and "C"

  Whether I have to run the MRP MD02  for B and C or not.Currently I am taking MRP run for material A.

Also please tell me for which material should I create demand.Currently I am doing MD61 for material for material A (FG).

But logically at machine shop, for the production of A we need the component B, for the production of B we need the component C and for the production of C we need the component D.

Please tell me the standard procedure in SAP as I know how it works on Machine shop floor.

I want know that how this done in SAP.

Please tell something about this.

Sagar

Run MRP with MD02 it will run multilevel.

Also please tell me for which material should I create demand.Currently I am doing MD61 for material for material A (FG).

Create Demand for A only in MD61 based BOM quantities it creates dependent requirement and Receipts.

Kiran,

  Please tell me how the stocks move in SAP system in my case.

what steps should I follow?

And in MRP4 view what should I always maintain in MRP dep requirement field

Please tell me how the flow of material is taking place in SAP from raw to finish goods in detail.

Sagar

Hi Sagar,

• Check on MRP4 tab whether you put 1 for MRP dependent requirement.
• Check whether planning file entries are getting created. Check this link
• Also check did you had any stock for C & D along with backflush indicator?
• Check in MB51 against this order the postings.
• Check if you see any entry in COGI as you have already done confirmation )considering you have set backflush indicator).

Hi Rahul,

1)I haven't maintained any value in MRP4 tab for all materilas.

2)When I do MD20 with net change planning

Then I am getting following message as The material has been marked for the MRP run

And When I do MD21 then

For RAW material "D"

For SFG "C"

For SFG "B"

For FG "A"

In MMBE,

for material "C"

For Material "D"

In MB51,

for FG "A"

For SFG "B" and "C",RAW "D"

I am getting anything in COGI.

Please have your thoughts on this.

What I am missing.

Regards,

Sagar

[kiran_kumar179]

Sagar,

It means for your B material dependent requirements are not planned.

Check MRP4 view Dependent requirement planned field for all materials and Check planning file entries are maintained for all materials if maintain in MD20 then re run the MRP.

Hi Kiran,

    whether I have to create the production order of component B and C also.

or what I have done is RIGHT.

Please explain.

Regards,

Sagar

[kiran_kumar179]

Sagar,

It depends on procurement type if it is E or X then you need to create BOM and Routing for B also to trigger dependent requirements.

If it F then for created Reservation requirement PR supposed to be created.

Hello Sagar,,

As you mention B and C is Semifinished material..

It is consider as ln house production.. Procurement type E or X for SFG.

When you run the MRP for Header Material A, system will created Depended Reuqirement for B and C.

and For this SFG material you have to create BOM and Routing, In that case system created Planned order and this planned order converted to Prod order. Once goods movement done you can do the goods movement for the Header material A.

You process follow below step

A Header Material ( Planned Order and Prod Order Created)  BOM and Routing Requried

|

B SFG ( Planned order convt Prod Order created) BOM and Routing Required

|

C SFGc ( Planned order convt Prod Order Created) BOM and Routing Required

|

D Raw material ( PurRequi)

Please follow my earlier Post and create Routing for B and C and also check the MD04 screen.

Please check and revert
