ECC 6 Best Practice

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I hope someone can help me as I am a bit confused. We are implementing ECC 6 Automotive OEM Best Practice.

The customer has a number of SD requirements which I do not seem to find anywhere in the pre configured scenarios.

Furthermore, I am findign it extremelly difficult to find documentation, such as data conversion sheets - are we really supposed to go through each one individually to check if it applies to our scenarios or not?

My other confusion / concern is if we are not implementing PP how can we have processes such as MRP, ATP, Schedule Agreements, Cross or Inter Company, and Backorders? Is it possible to implement these scenarios without PP?

I know these are very generic questions but if someone could shed some light on the right approach.

Yes I did go through the entire Best Practice documentation so please don't tell me to read it.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I feel MRP, ATP, Schedule Agreements, Cross or Inter Company, and Backorders process can be there without PP module.

MRP, ATP process: Durning the MRP Run it will show the Requirement to MM module, only the MM module plan according, based on the MM Requirement, PP module can work manually (Without SAP).

Moreover very few indian company using the PP Module.

Reward if it helps

Dear Kookie,

From your query it looks like you are not implementing IS-Auto.

IS-Auto contains lot of interlinking actions and heavily relies on Primary and Secondary Actions. A quick google on VMS ( Vehicle Management System) should be able to solve lot of your queries. Regarding your confusion on PP, Lot of (afraid to say most of) companies dont use the SAP-PP module. Instead they use some other software (onse such software is from i2 Technologes) which takes care of MRP, ATP, Schedule Agreements, Cross or Inter Company, and Backorders process.

Hope this helps you.

Do award points if you found them useful.

Regards,

Rakesh

P.S. you can send me a mail at my mail id rakeshsinghchauhan@gmail.com for any specific details

Dear Rakesh,

I am implementing Auto Solution - OEM. ECC 6 Germany version.

My confusion comes when I have a look at some of the scenarios as they all ask for PP and we are not implementing it.

One of these scenarios is A62 Sales Order with cross company process. According to this process we have a delivery / sales plant and a production plant. The creation of the customer SO triggers the entire schedulling agreement process between the 2 plants. The sale splant runs MRP creating the demand. A schedule agreement is creating the demand on the produciton plant.

The produciton plant then does whatever needs to do - mrp run, backflush, etc - and "despatches" the stock to the delivery plant. The delivery plant receives the stock and an intercompany billing process occurrs.

After this ONLY will the stocks be available to be picked for the customer.

Now my issue is if there is no production plant how will we amend this scenario?

Thanks for your comments
