Reduction of PIR in strategy 10, without GI to sales order!

[Former Member]

Guys, I plan a semi-finished product using strategy 10.

This material is not sold,rater it is issued to order of finished product.

In this case how is PIR for semi-finished product reduced, since there is no goods issue against sales order?

Pl help!

Hello ,

Please check requirment class and type , as per Srtegy No-10 , there is no reduction in the consumption.

Please confirm with MB5B w.r.t material.

Not sure what u mean. I have altered the requirement class and allowed reduction pir during goods issue. (in my previous thread)

Stock in MB5B is also updated accordingly.

Guys, in requirement class 100, I have changed Requirements reduction indicator from blank to X (Tcode OMPO). Now PIR is getting reduced when I do GI to production order of higher level assembly.

I have also set MRP relevancy for dependent requirements in MRP4 of material, as 1. Now, planned orders are only created against PIR of material and no planned orders are generated for any order reservation of same material, which is ok.

Only problem is, PIR is reduced only when I do a unplanned GI to higher level production order. If I do a planned GI, system reduced the order reservation and not the PIR!

Any ideas on how this can be resolved.Basically on planned GI, both PIR and order reservation should be reduced.

Is possible to reduce PIR during GR of product, rather than during gi to higher level order? Pl help!

Dorian,

I guess I am dense, I don't understand what overall business result you are trying to accomplish.

Normally, when you forecast at SFG level, you want the SFG PIRs to be CONSUMED by the creation of a dependent requirement or reservation (from the FG planned/production orders) and you want it REDUCED by the GI to the FGs production orders. This is strategy 70

A related strategy which 'acts' a bit like planning at SFG level is planning with a planning material (strategy 63). In this scenario, a Planning Material is related to groups of FGs materials (similar to the relationship between SFGs and FGs, but the relationship is carried in the Material master and not in the BOM). You forecast the planning material. The planning material is never actually built or sold or stocked. The forecast of the planning material is consumed by creation of FGs sales orders, and reduced by GI to FGs sales orders. ATP check is done against PIRs.

If you want to mix-n-match amongst different strategies (I don't recommend this), you should be aware that most fundamental changes to SAP standard strategies will have unintended consequences that can only be addressed with custom programming. Pay particular attention to your ATP checks at the FGs level. Also, ensure that you don't inadvertently 'double up' your requirements at the lower levels.

Good luck

Thanks for the inputs, but I don't want to plan the finished goods at all. I just want to produce semi-finished to stock.

basically, i want to reduce pir on goods issue of semifinished to finished products production order.

For this I have changed indicator for Requirements reduction indicator in requirement class 100 ( attached to requirement type LSF) from blank to V- (Reqt of independent reqt only for potential consumption), which seems to be serving the purpose.

Also dependent requiremnts of semi-finished are not planned at all, since I have also set indicator, MRP dep.requirements in MRP4 to 1.

This way planned orders are generated for PIR and not order reservations.

On unplanned GI to process order of finished product, PIR of semi finished is reduced.I don't require dependent requirements to consume the PIR, as they are not planned at all.

Seems to be working as intended. Would appreciate any further inputs/ improvements.

Dorian,

It is unclear to me what business result you are trying to accomplish. Some of your statements about the behavior you have observed differ substantially from the behavior I have observed. However, if you are happy with the results, that is all that is important. Good luck with your customized strategy!

Thanks everyone!

The customized strategy wasn't working as desired. Had to discard it.

Am closing thread.

Hi,

If you sure that no issue was done then check that requirement type of PIR

it should be LSF.

Dorian,

There will be no consumption or reduction in 10 if there are no sales orders at the SFG level.

If you wish to forecast at SFG, and enjoy the benefits of consumption/reduction, better to use Strategy 70, which will be consumed by dependent requirements from the FGs production orders.
