Alternative BOM selection by Production Version

[Former Member]

If I am using production version (selection method 2 on MRP view). How does MRP know what production version to use when creating a production order. I see the link to the BOM in the production version, but if I have more than one version assigned in the material master on MRP 4 view, i'm not sure how it knows which one to use.?

Thanks, Erik

Dear Erik,

If you have manual selection of production version in the order type dependent parameters in OPL8 for the order type and plant

combination and if you have set the BOM selection method as 2 in MRP 4 view of the material master then,

1.If you create a production order manually then the system displays the pop up to select a production

version.

2.If you are converting the planned order into a production order then it picks up the one which is

present in the planned order.So obviously if 2 production versions are there with same lot size and

validity dates,then the system picksup the first one only during MRP run.

Even if it picks up the first prod.version in planned order,but while converting click on master data and

change the production version if required.

3.Otherwise what you can do is set the production version in MD61 itself ,so that its going to be

considered during MRP run.

4.If in OPL8 the production version selection is set as automatic then the system picks up the production version automatically.

Check and revert back.

Thanks Everyone. Last question, how do i assign the production version in MD61. It seems i can only assign the planning version in MD61, i'm not sure where the production version is assigned. Thanks again for all the great answers. Erik

IN MD61

Go to schedule line tab and in the menu clcik the setting --> production version, Now the production version will appear in schedule line tab

Hi..

As per sudarshan u can give production version in MD61 & also here you can take all ur version to produce product .

If u want to produce Qty 10000. & out of which u want to 3000 from version 0001 & 70000 by version 0002 u can do this through MD 61 by putting both requirement in 2 different line item.

One more question,if these configuration was setup,when we process superflush for finish good ,do we need to choose PV to consume the right material?

if not ,how the backflush choose the BOM?

Hi,

The system will check for

1) Validity of PV

2) The lot Size of PV.

B/n these if you have multiple versions it always picks the 1st valid version.

Also if you want the MRP to pick a particular version, in MD61 while entering the demand you can specify

which PV needs to be picked.

As you are using selction method 2, even if the PV is not there system tries to find a BOM & a routing again

as per the above 2 points.

Dear Erik,

1) Go to OPL8, for ur plant & order type combination double click

2) Now for option Production Version Make it as 1

3) Only for manual creation of Production order this setting is valid

4) MRP always picks first PV by default

5) If ur converting plan order to Production order then system will default pick the First version if

Lot size defined in Version same ( as already MRP has picked first PV )

6) If required you need to manually change the PV in Plan order change mode

7) If before Running MRP if you want system to pick 2nd Version then Lock the first PV

Hi,

The system always picksup the first production version during

MRP run even if all the prod versions contains the same validity dates and lot sizes.

System will check the valid production version based on validity date, based on the validity system will pick the Production version, If 2 or more Production version have same validity then system will pick the first production version.

If u want to user to decide the production version while converting plan order to production irder them set in OPL8 manual selction of production version is screen production version.
