Production Order not cifed

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

May I kindly ask for your expert opinion regarding my problem. When I had cifed the Production Order, it returns the message "sequence-dependent setup activity does not have a mode". I searched for an OSS note and had found out that this error appears when there is no capacity seen. However, when I had checked the work centers and routing, the capacity is maintained. I had seen that the Production Order is technically completed. Could there be an issue when trying to send a technically completed Production Order to APO system? It is partially completed though coz the whole quantity in the production order is not yet delivered.

Hoping for a reply from you.

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely Yours,

Ria

Hi, Ria,

I feel that it's not CIF issue at all.

When Production Order is with TECO status, it won't be visible in R/3 Stock reqmt. list (MD04). It's no more relevant for Planning.

If it's open & Partially confirmed then it can be used as a Receipt element & Will be considered as a Receipt in Planning. But as it's TECOed, it's no more planning relevent & it won't be transferred in APO. Trust in my project we are TECOing hundreds of Process Orders every Week. Then & Then we are Doing Planning as we don't want to consider old Open Process Orders in APO Planning.

Hope it Helps You.

Hi Hardik,

Thank you so much for your reply, however, if the Production Order is not APO relevant anymore, then why is it that the production order still appears whenever we do the compare/reconciliation function (sapapo/ccr).

Again thanks and hoping for your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Ria,

If Production Order is appering in CCR report then it's possible that it Might not have been TECOed properly. Suggeest you to validate it.(though it's a silly suggestion but as a human being we all are doing many silly mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!).

One more thing would like to know from you is that before you TECOed your order in R/3, Was that available in R/3 as well?

If yes, & then due to CIFing issue if system is not able to transfer that data in APO at given point of time then it's possible that system will be showing difference during CCR check. In that case CCR report should suggest you to delete in APO.

Would like to get some reply from you as it would be a learning for me as well.

Hi Hardik,

Thank you so much for your reply.

What do you mean that it is not TECOed properly? Thing is, the delivery is still partial and not full, so i dont know if this could be one of the reasons that APO is still seeing this order. One more thing is that when I send the order to APO, there is no error in the queue, but the Production Order remains in the CCR Report.

Hoping for your reply.

Many thanks again.

Hi Ria,

Please revoke Techo (as mentioned above ) and run CCR and update the order in APO if there is differance in content and than again Put the techo by the same menu as mentioned above .

If it didn't solve the problem delete the order in APO and CIF it again from R/3.

I guess order is not updated completed in APO before techo was put.

Please confrim the result.

Hi Ria,

As It's not mandatory to do complete Confirmation for a Production order before TECO it. So it should not be a issue at all.

My meaning of checking TECO status of order is to verify wheather it's having TECO status or not. If you know Order No. then you can check it out directly otherwise you can use T-code COOIS.

If you don't find any option as of now then it's better to delete order in APO & Next time you can have a fresh look at whole CIFing Process of new Process Order.

Hope it helps.

Dear Ria,

regarding your comment "One more thing is that when I send the order to APO, there is no error in the queue, but the Production Order remains in the CCR Report." look at Note 650914 - CCR incorrectly displays orders as missing in APO.

Though work centers and routing, the capacity is maintained in R3.Please check if Mode is maintained for seqeuence dependant activities in PPM in APO.

Please activate the failed queue again and check if it goes through.Select the failed queue-->edit --> reset. Attimes this works.

Hi,

please check the material list of the order if there are any materials wich are manually added during the order confirmation. This error could happen if a material is not assigned to the correct activity or only to the superordinate operation. In that case the system assigns this material to the first activity (setup acticity) and this is not allowed in APO. This error appears normaly only in the time period between (partially) confirmation and technically completeness.

Kind regards,

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your reply, however, a production order does not have a list of materials because it contains only 1 material which is the finished good. Or maybe, I have had an error in understanding? May I kindly ask where exactly will I check?

Really thanks a lot.

Sincerely yours,

OK. I assume that you need any components like raw materials or semi finised goods for your production!? The components are maintained in the BOM. And in the production version you define the assignment between BOM positions an the activities from the recipe. If you need any additional material for your production, it is possible to add them manually during order confirmation. In that step it is necessary to assign it to an activity. For the materials that come from the BOM it is already done in the production version. To check the assignment use transaction COR3. Enter order number and press the materials button. In column 'Activity' all materials must be assigned to the correct production activity. Also check that it is not empty. In that special case the system assigns it during cif to the first activity. And that could be the setup activity. If you don't use process orders (PP-PI) i think you have to use CO03...
