Avoid APO SNP Re-scheduling Production order

[former_member616896]

Hello Experts,

We are facing an issue where in few materials Production orders dates in APO not matching with ECC due to APO reschedules production orders that comes from ECC.

can you suggest any option to avoid APO SNP re-scheduling production orders that comes from ECC?

Hello,

Once production order is created dates are same. When users make changes with full or partial confirmation (CO11N), at this point of time dates in APO not matching with ECC. We noticed this behavior only for few materials and that too not repeating everyday for the same materials.

When we find such difference and run CCR report, these orders are reported in 'Manufacturing orders - operations'.

rgds, Mani.

Hello,

What do you mean by APO SNP Re-scheduling Production orders?

Production order is firmed receipt which does not changed during planning run like SNP, PPDS or MRP in standard SAP.

Production order could be rescheduled manually through order changes or through scheduling heuristic or report like CCR.

You need to look the chnages in production order date and time and need to find out manful and system activities during that time which is causing order rescheduling.

Hello Brahmankar, thanks for your response.

Every time when production order changed in ECC, we can see dates are going out of synch in APO. (not during planning run or not after CCR)

We are looking for stopping APO re-scheduling production orders that comes from ECC, So that ECC dates will be same in APO also. Any suggestions on this pls.

thanks in advance,

regards

Mani.

Hello,

Why are you changing the order in ECC or what kind of changes? And for what is purpose APO is being used ?

Do you have any GR processing time?

Have you ran delta report /SAPAPO/CCR ? Is there any any difference or inconsistency in CRR report?

Hello,

If you do not want a date transfer, you can ensure this using a user exit EXIT_SAPLCOXA_004 enhancement PPAPO007.

For source code please refer SAP note 492772 - Date transfer in confirmed operations not wanted

Also refer SAP help document on it,

Confirmation for the Manufacturing Order

For confirmed operations it may be undesirable for SAP APO to send its dates - which then correspond to the actual dates from SAP R/3 - back to the planned dates of the operation in SAP R/3. You can use the SAP Note 492772 – Date Transfer in Confirmed Operations Not Wanted , to control the date transfer of confirmed operations. In this Note you can find example coding for the enhancement PPAPO007.

Hello, Thanks for sharing that.

user exit which you shared is in ECC side and it says order date transfer from APO -> ECC.

our expectation to ensure dates in ECC should be same as in APO. (ECC - > APO). Please suggest any solution.

thanks in advance,

regards, Mani.

Hello,

If you've implemented note 492772 to keep planned operation dates in ECC after confirmation. However, you notice that Dates in order Header are changed.

When a confirmation is done in ECC, all other operations will be adjusted on the basis of the confirmed operation. This is the standard behavior of rescheduling in ECC. You can verify this effect by opening the order in change mode and click the 'Schedule Order' button - the dates in Order Header will be adjusted on the basis of the confirmed operation.

You can use exit EXIT_SAPLCOXA_001 in ERP inbound to prevent dates in Order Header to be passed from SCM to ERP by setting from 'X' to initial.
