Considering stock for MTO

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello Everyone,

My current client is using MTO strategy 20. As part of earlier production runs I would have built up for a specific sales order say 100. I would have delivered 80 and I would have closed the sales order.

Now imagine a case where I have received Sales Ord 2 for 50. How can I use the balance 20 stock for sales order 2? This has to be automatically assigned to the next sales order during the next MRP run and as a result, raise a planned order only for the shortfall of 30. Then I need not manually assign stock to sales order stock of SO:2.

How can this be achieved?

Sincerely,

Aji

I had a feeling so too. Or is there any other strategy group I can use where the sales order reference is automatically referred to the second sales order? Or is there any specifiic user exits I can use at the time of MRP Run to do the same?

Aji,

Of course. Any MTS strategy will automatically plan to use any stock overruns from previous production. Strategy 40 is extremely popular in this case.

If you wish to continue to use MTO, you must also consider what happens after the MRP run. If you figure out how to torture MTO MRP so as to consider MTO stock from a different segment (e.g., built against a different order), you still need to find a way to issue the stock, once the order comes due. In standard SAP, the system will not allow you to issue FG stock to a sales order, if the stock was created for a different sales order.

You owe it to your client to let him know that his business process is actually MTS. Once you have made all requirements to be anonymous, and all FGs stock to be anonymous, it is standard that overruns will be used to plan the 'next' sales order.

Hello.

Agreed, Strategy group will ideally suit this requirement. But the issue is that since strategy group 40 is basically an MTS strategy, there exists no reference to a sales order.

Ideally, the client here needs a definite reference to a sales order. And as production goes, it is rarely possible that they can manufacture to exact quantities because of the nature of the product. So definite reference to a sales order is needed.

So is there anyway this can be achieved?

Hi,

I think DB has already explained you the possibilities. If still you wnat to keep strategy as 20 only then check possibility to do a transafer posting with mvt type 413E.

Hi,

You need to move stock to sales order manually because when you produced earlier it was without any referance to sales order as you are using MTO
