production order doubt

[Former Member]

Hi,

My client's requirement is suppose production order is for 50 quantities. Production has not yet started say for example.due to capacity bottle neck or whatever reason, client decides to produce 30 quantities in house and rest 20 quantity by procurement from outside.How to do this is SAP?

Next doubt:say production order of 50 quantities has begun. 10 quantities have been produced.Now client says they want to do inhouse production for next 25 and external procurement for rest 15 quantities.

Please help how to do this?

Regards.

Hi

In case of planned order convertion to production order,if the planned order is compleatly converted to Production order then if you again change the quantity also the planned order will not be created again,once the planned order is converted compleatly it will not exist, if you do partial convertion of planned order to production order then the planned can be seen for the remaining quantity which you can either convert to production order or to purchase requisition,in case of compleate convertion of planned order to production order if run the plan ince again a new planned order will be generated again.

hope this give you a better idea,

Let us say u have converted the planned order fully in to production order.Go to change mode and reduce the qty.Now create a PR manually for the balance qty

Kindly maintain Procurement type X in the material master.

After MRP run system creates Planned order,

We can do partial conversion of Planned order to production order or purchase requistion.

This will solve your problem.

Reply for any queries.

Hi,

If you have the situation where you either produce in-house or procure externally define the material as procurement type X (both internal and external).

Then, if you work with MRP, you can convert the planned order either to a production order or a purchase requisition.

If you converted all the quantity to a production order already and you want to adjust it, then the system will recreate the planned order for the reduced quantity, which as I said you can now convert to a PR.

If you don't work with MRP, then just adjust the production order as you want, and create manually a PR.

For this mixed situations pay attention to the way you manage the material cost (accounting and costing views).

Hi, I am runnning MRP here. Procurement is X maintained in MRP view.As you said i can do partial conversion of planned order to production order. till here it is ok. but how will system create new planned order to allow me to convert to Purchase requisition? Do i need to re run MRP for this?Even if i run MRP again, partially converted planned order will be there in the system, System will understand it available.......right?

Please reply.

I think that it works in such a way that when you reduce the quantity in the production order it automatically will restore the original planned order, with the quantity equal to the one you reduced from the production order.

All you need to do now is to convert this planned order into a PR. I didn't check it myself, but it makes sense that it should be feasable.
