Strategy 20

[Former Member]

Hi all,

While creating sales order is it possible that the system should check the existing stock and if the stock is present while doing the MRP run planned orders should not be generated and if there is no stock the planned orders should be generated..Im using the strategy 20 which is having req type KE... At present planned orders are generated for all the sales orders even though the stock is present for the material

Hi Joseph,

Create new strategy group with combination of strategy 40 and 20, primary strategy will be 40 and second one will be 20.

while creating sales order check availability with respective requirement type from strategy.

check out and come back with findings.

Thanks

Dear all,

My client need the special stock indicator (which is in req type KE) to assign it as a sales order stock, but they need to consider the plant stock while creating the sales order.So is it possible to avoid creating the planned order if stock for the material is exsiting...

Hi Friend,

as if all the orders in system are special stock , while creating sales order how you can see a free stock?

do you want to say you want to consider the stock which was planed for another sales order but order got canceled and stock is now free and you want to consider this stock ?

if its so you need to change your process , it can be a fix make to Order 20 or it will be Make to stock and order created when needed 40

a combination of 40 and 20 will work in scnario when some times bussnies wants to do production with PIR even though there is no sales order entered and this stock will be consumed by future orders, addtitional orders will be ctreated if there is no stock in hand.

Dear Ritesh,

After creating the sales order using the req type KE - (strategy 20) and the MRP run is done the system should not create planned orders if the is stock for the header material, i do agree that by having the strategy group 40 we can meet the requirement, but there vil not be a special stock indicator by which we can assign it as a sales order stock...I need the special stock indicator also in the requirement class... to my knowledge it is because of this special stock indicator E system creates planned order even the stock exists for the materials.. Is there any work around to get this req done...

Hi,

There are two opposite requirment of yours.

1. Your client says that the stocks needs to be consider while creating sales order and

2. When creating sales orders, the stocks needs to be considered as special stock.

If the stock needs to be considered as special stock then is it necessary to consider the stocks at the time of sales creation.

If you still stick to this requirement, then use the strategy 40 that will consider your present stock and run the MRP using transaction code MD50, so that stocks will come under special stock indicator.

Please check and revert.

Thanks

Hi Joseph,

Well i gone through with your initial thread and last thread please can you explain me the exact requirement of your client.

If about Strategy 20:

The requirement type KE means it won't consider the Stock OK.

The Strategy it self says Make-To-Order means when ever there is a customer order then only you have to produce the product OK.

If you want to consider the stock Streategy 40 is perfect OK. Even you can create Sales order or PIR and for the sales order you can consume the stock by using the special stock E ok.

I hope it clears your doubt OK. Any questions ping me again.

Dear Madhu,

This is the normal behaviour of these strategy groups 20 and 40..but is there any ways in SAP by which the sales orders created by strategy 20 having req type KE can consumes the existing stock, ie it should not created planned order wen MRP is run if the stock exists. Is there any kind of configuration could be done to get this requirement done....

MRP cannot tie unrestricted stock to a sales order. You may have to do it manually using mvt type 412E .

Joseph ,

can you explain while creating sales order what are the possibilty of have stock? I want to know as your bussiness process is pure make to order , how a stock can exist

If its the stock of canceled sales order you can define a process to allocate it to new sales order using IM movements.

and for other orders MRP will caret special orders tied to sales order with KE.

as there is GAP in process , please dont expect sysetm to takle care of it , instead fill the GAP by correcting existing process or by defining a work around.

I can suggest you one work around, create a new strategy Group , ZZ , inside it put 40 as main strategy and 20 as second strategy, save it.

Create or use your existing material with this strategy group ZZ in MRP 3

create sales order , go to shiping tab, scroll to right , check in field requirement Type there will be 3 options available

041 Order/delivery requirement

KE Indiv.cust.ord. w/o consumpt

KSV Sales order with consumption

if you select KE , system will create new orders for this sales order with KE type.

If you select KSV , this sales order will consume existing stock.

Here change is your sales person needs to follow this process of checking existing stock while creating new sales order, if there is no stock , he need to create order with selcting value KE for requirement type.

Hope it almost meet your requirement.

Check and lets know your findings.

Thanks

Dear Joseph,

This may not be possible with planning strategy 20,but you can check with the planning strategy 40, in which the sales order

check the available stock and then proposes procurement proposal for the shortage quantity.

Hi,

If you want plant stock to be considered for RM, then maintain Indiv/Coll indicator as 2. Then the demand & supply will be plant segment.

But if you want the demand for the RM to be in sales order segment & yet net off against plant stock, it will not happen. You will have to transfer the plant stock to sales order stock, then system will net supply & demand.

Also refer below link.
