SAP PP: Link between STO and Production Orders

[vkumara]

Dear All SAP Experts,

Good day to you all.

I have 1 client scenario.

Q) For Company code 1000, there are Production plants & branches, when the requirement from branches for production is created, STO is created by          branch & after checking the same Planned Independent Requirement (PIR) is created by production plant & MRP is taken. There is not a linkage              between requirement & Production order.

**** Needed the link of STO with the production orders & production orders should be created with reference to the STO

Solution required as mentioned below:

If the FG material is required by branch (compay code 1000), then material reservation will be done against WBS in branch, after MRP, STO will be created.Based on that after MRP planned order & Production order will be created at Manuf plant & after GRN material will be transfered to branch through STO.

Is it possible to get the solution what client required and the Colored sentence with ****

Rgds,

Hello VKUMAR

On the standard MTS process there is no link between the requirement (STO) and the replenishment element (production order).

See the below extraction from note 12955:

There is no index that the system could use to determine which issue element (sales order, planning, reservation, dependent requirement, ...) is covered by a certain receipt element (purchase order, production order, purchase requisition, planned order, stock level ...).

A production order, for example, can be created to cover several different requirements, even when you are using lot sizing procedure EX.

You can use transaction MD09 to determine the pegged requirements, but they are calculated dynamically and there is not fixed link between requirement and receipt.

Hi Kumar,

This is possible in MTO scenario.

1. The material in the receiving plant(in this case, it could be branches) should have a purchasing view(with automatic PO) and sales view active with appropriate item group in sales org 2. The requirement class determined through item category in turn determined through item group should have the account assignment as "E".

2. Create a vendor master in receiving plant with vendor as supplying plant.

3. Create a appropriate vendor info record.

4. Assign the suitable MTO planning strategy in material master in receiving plant and in supplying plant.

5. Create a sales order in receiving plant and run MRP at sales order level (MD50).

6. Now in Stock requirement list of the material in receiving plant, sales order will have a STR and the same STR will be reflected in supplying plant as well. In supplying plant there will be a planned order as well for this STR (receipt element in receiving plant is considered as demand in supplying plant)

7. Convert the STR to STO.

8. Convert the planned order to production order

9. Create a OBD(outbound delivery) in receiving plant and do PGI

10. Create a IBD(Inbound) in supplying plant and do GR.

In this scenario, the stock produced will be have track of STO and SO. Let us know in case of any further clarification required.

Hi VKUMAR A,

You can try to use Make-To-Order production type to set up the link from sales order -- STO -- production order.
