Link between Fert Material production order with its Assemblies Production order

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Production order is open for Fert & Halb ( assemblies) materials through CO01.

For reporting purpose, I want to maintain a connection(link) between fert material production order & its assemblies production orders. How can i do this ? Please suggest

For example

FERT MATERIAL =A

HALB MATERIAL =B

HALB MATERIAL =C

HALB MATERIAL =D

I want to link production orders of B,C & D with their parent material (A) order

NOTE: I don't want to carry out COLLECTIVE PROCESSING in which we open fert material order & automatically halb material orders are opened

Qazi,

As already mentioned in MTS your requirement can not be fulfilled with any standard settings.

In MTO scenario like Planning Strategy 20 for header material when you create sales order then run MRP to production order this production order would have sales order assignment.

If you maintain for B,C and D materials Ind/Collective indicator in MRP4 view as Blank or 1 then these materials orders also have same A material sales order assignment.

Hello

There is no fixed link between the requirement and the receipt element on MTS production.

Generally, transaction MD09 is used to determine which requirement belongs to a receipt element.

See my answer on the following thread for details:

Qazi,
This is normally achieved by using Make-to-Order planning.  In this case, all HALB and FERT planned and production orders can have a common reference document (the sales order item for which these orders were created).

In standard SAP, under make-to-stock, there is no linkage between HALB and FERT orders stored anywhere in the system.  There is therefore no guaranteed way to provide the linkage you have requested.  If this is a critical business requirement, your programmers will have to develop some kind of enhancement to meet this need.

Dear DB,

Thanks for your reply. Can we use any field  during co01 (production order creation of halb orders) for this purpose in which we may assign parent production order number in all child production order numbers ?

You can put anything you want in Long Text.

The result of applying MTO to the materials applies a "1" in the special stock field for the HALBs when creating orders in CO01 as you mentioned.

The HALB material then has it's own requirements as seen in the stock requirements as seen below.  The order for the HALB will also contain the relevant sales document in it's header data.

Barnes,

Why you want to insert special stock indicator manually in order to link FERT orders with their component orders instead of this you can try with MTO strategy settings?

You wouldn't, this just shows the effect on order creation in CO01 and the subsequent HALB materials.  Sorry for any confusion.
