Rescheduling Sales Order vs Production Order (Components)

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

Transaction V_RA rescheduling sales order with different filters.

We need a transaction similar to V_RA that rescheduling sales order and production order (for availability check of components). Does it exist??

I will reward points to all answers!

Thank you!

hi danial

V_RA is a transaction code for back order processing and it can do resheduling in availabilty check

I think dependent requirements always override the sales order requirements i.e. they will lodge them selves in the system regardless and rescheduling will push your sales orders out or give them schedule lines. So you should only need to run MRP then run sales order rescheduling and review your schedule lines.

Then, isn't it possible ?

Unfortunately, no. I was told it is possible with APO, but not in R/3.

We finally achieved it by re-engineering the business process. You can have the backorder rescheduling job run before the Production orders MRP run, so that stock is reserved for sales order, on priority.

Thank you!

Daniel,

It all depends on the business policy of each client. In our case, it was decided that in case Production orders and Sales orders compete for the same material, we will give priority to sales orders. Hence, we changed the timings of the nightly jobs. The backorder job was run first, so that stock was committed there first. Balance if any could go to Prod orders.

But again, that depends on the strategy of your company.

In our case Production orders and Sales orders compete for the same material, we will give priority in reference to delivery date. If a production order need material earlier than sales order, production order has priority.

Any ideas to implemement/customizing this behaviour?

Thank you!!!

Daniel,

I understand the problem this causes - the same material is required in sales orders (as a finished goods) and production orders (as a component). I had a similar requirement some time back and explored a lot. But it seems there is no such rescheduling feature in R/3.
