Block Production plan in SNP horizon

$
0
0

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to stop system from generating planned orders within SNP Horizon in the light of Christmas vacations.

I understand that SNP doesn't read resource downtime, thus in order to achieve this, we added special rule to the calendar assigned to the respective resource such that resource is not available during the stipulated time.

In addition to this, we also created a time stream ID based on the calendar and assigned it to production calendar at location. Now, when I take a planning run, system created a planned order just outside the vacation duration, with a start date within  the vacation which is not desired.

When we convert the SNP order to PP/DS the start date correctly falls outside the vacation, not sure why this is happening.

Any idea how this can be controlled?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rishi

Deleting SNP Planned Orders (EE) in ECC

$

Hi Gurus,

Below is the issue.

  • We  have  a custom program which does below
    • Delete all  SNP Planned Orders (EE) Orders
    • Pick the file from Application server (AL11)
    • Upload New SNP Planned Orders (EE) Orders via File ( which has all Info)
  • Problem is these deleted SNP Planned Orders (EE) Orders are not deleted in ECC
  • During next Recompilation run, they come back to APO and hence count gets double.

 

So  any hint as why EE order are not deleted in ECC or How we can delete them in ECC?

Editing Sales orders and inquiry in APO SNP

$

We have a scenario, where we will have both Sales Orders & Forecast for a MTO scenario as below.

 

                            Day1 Day2  Day3 Day4 Day5 Day6

 

Customer Orders - 10         12   14          -     -    -

Forecast     -                                       16    18   20

 

Customer Orders are either can be inquiry or Sales Orders. And Forecast is basically planned in DP and will be released to SNP.

 

Sales order won't consume forecast. Production happens against Sales orders. Forecast is just used for component planning and will be planned in other systems(Not APO or ECC).

 

Normally Sales orders integrated in to SNP is not editable in SAP APO. But here customer has a requirement to edit the order quantity & also to shift the orders into different bucket(because of capacity limitation or priority).

 

Is there is any workaround to create the different order/order category with reference to Sales Order or Forecast? And once the change is done in APO, this can be applied to ECC orders by custom program? Please suggest.


Create macro always starting from Fiscal Year and not roll up

$

Hi Gurus,

 

We have a requirement of creating a macro,whose iterations should always start from 1st April and end on 31st March every year.

As and when the month progresses,the value for each month should get considered starting from April only.

 

Eg:

 

We have to write a macro for cumulative shortfall 2015=(Summation of Forecast starting April 2015)-(Summation of Sales History starting from April 2015)

 

Say the values in planning book uptil November 2015 is as below:

 

KF                                    April 2015     May 2015       June 2015    July 2015    August 2015    September 2015    October 2015   November 2015

 

Forecast                              100                    150               160          170               190                    200                         210                       

Sales History                         80                    100               150          150               160                   170                         180  

Cumulative Forecast             20                     70                 80           100               130                    160                        190

 

For June, Cumulative shortfall=(100+150+160)-(80+100+150)=80

 

As can be seem above,for every month the cumulative shortfall consists of forecast and history data starting from april.

There should be not rolling up of dates,all should start from april.

 

Awaiting reponse for the issue.

 

Thanks in advance

SNP Optimizer: Model dependent Master Data

$
0
0

Hello Gurus

 

I want to understand if we can run optimizer on non-active planning version which is assigned to non-active model.

 

This is because we want to simulate various optimizer results based on different costs assigned to master data (resources / Transporation Lanes). We do not wish to change the master data in the productive system for the purpose of this simulation and hence the need for a different model. So whenever we want to model various scenarios we will just play around with the non-active model in the productive system and copy the costs once the model is finalized by business.

 

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Best Regards

Parth Soneji
