using ME59 and report for difference amount

[ganesh_nanjundaswamy]

Hi Experts,

We have a business issue as follows:

we have one trading plant and one manufacturing plant and one vendor to  supply raw mateials tray A and tray B.  Sytem is made like APO is runing in manufacturing plant and ECC MRP  running in trading plant at the same time from monday to thursday 10 P.M. once the MRP runs in trading plant and manufacturing plant a sub contract order will get create to manufacturing plant to manufacture the final product VIA SUB CONTRACTING ORDER.. The MRP runs at 10.30 in both trading and manufacturing plant it takes 4 hours time...we proposed  to  use ME59 for processing  automatic PR generations in back ground after completion of MRP run. Please can we suggest to run in ME59 in background? or is there any other options?or is it possible run my user ?

Issue 2:  Report preperations for difference of orders

The orders are coming from different countries like...US, Austraila,  and Europe to trading plant it will creates a lot size for the vendor who  supply raw materials...if the lot is 6000... trading plant recieves 8000 orders so there is a difference of 2000 .. lot size is limited to 6000 so they are maintaing it in excel sheet presently they want to maintain it in report...please suggest how we can solve this difference?  . this automation should be done between vendor and manufacturing plant.

Please kidnly support..

Thanks in Advance

For many years automatic PO creation is already ME59N. And it should only be used if your master data ( vendor, material, info record) is in a very good shape so that the users do not need to enter or change anything, e.g. could just click save in ME21N

your second scenario is very vague, your customers order the finished material from the trading plant. the trading plant orders at the manufacturing plant. The manufacturing plant orders raw materials from the vendor to manufacture the finished material.

Why does the trading plant get 6000 if 8000 are ordered, who's fault is this?

What is the reason for an extra Excel sheet (this is usually a fall back if users are not trained enough and do not understand the processes and do not know how to use SAP to track)

if you want automate anything between manufacturing plant and vendor, then you need to tell what you want automate. In general an automation should be done for processes that work well and do not need any human interaction. And automation cannot solve your problems with getting/receiving less than ordered

HI Jurgen,

Thanks for your kind reply.

Actually orders are used in lot size. So it is configured for min lot size. So when trading palnt recieves orders 8000 the lot size will fix up for 6000. So the remaining is adjustable in excel sheet. They want one report for maintaining these difference.

please reply for more clarification.

Thanks & Regards,

if you have a fixed lot size of 6000, and you get orders for 8000, then you actually get 2 requisitions for 6000 to cover the requirements.
