Hi
I am working on GATP configuration, I want to understand about the Rule Control and Rule Control Key.
With out Rule Control key its not allowing me to proceed further. However in the configuration document we have Rule Control called ZAP
Could you please help on the same and also would like to know where to define Rule Control.

Hello SAP Friends,
Below is the issue we realised during the testing. The issue is with First date in the Sales Order which is not updated as per Unloading Point Calendar .
As per details I received, it should refer Unloading Point Calendar for ShiptoParty and populate the next working day as First date into Sales Order.
How is First Date determined in the sales order? Is there any config settings which is based on Route to do this? Or Is it controlled purely based on settings done in Tcode: VOV8, Leadtime days? I do not think VOV8 settings is controlling that in our APO system.
I have checked MAD, Pick/Pack, GI date all are populated correctly, But First Date did not follow the logic Unloading Point Calendar of ShiptoParty.
Please let know your inputs in this regard.
Thank you

Dear expert
what are the configuration i need to make for availabilty check in GATP step wise
Hi Guru,
System is SAP APO PP/DS.
Bom Header X
Bom component Y
X planned order start date: 10/10/2014 - End date 15/10/2014
Expected Y planned order end date 6/10/2014. Instead of 10/10/2014 (as per standard system behaviour) - offset by 4 days
We are using PP/DS optimiser.
I want to know how can we model the master data with which we can ensure that components are always available X days before the required date as per the header planned order's start date. Basically the client wants to build inventory of the components to be consumed by N number of days.
There are several options that I have tried but unsuccessfully :
Safety time: Optmizer does not respect safety time. Also there is a setting but that will be applicable to all. So not a desired option.
BOM component lead time offset: Somehow PDS is not picking the lead time data maintained in the BOM in ECC. When a planned order is created for Y, ECC yes it ends early (based on lead time maintained), but APO doe snot respect. No impact in APO
GR time: Planned order start date is moved and not the end date. For example is I maintain 5 days of GR time for Y, lead time 1 day so system will advance start date by days and will make planned order start date for Y as 5/10/2014 instead of making planned order end date a 5/10/2014.
any other suggestion:?
Thanks

Hi,
I have created an alert profile. I am assining the same alert profile in initial screen while executing DS planning board (PP/DS). But when I am going to Alert Monitor from DS planning board, I see all the alerts and not only the alerts specific to the alert profile I have created and assigned in the initial screen. Why so? What am I missing? Do I need to assign the created alert profile in some other place too to see the same in DS planing board?

Hi Gurus,
We converted 6 process order of a material in RR4 (SAP APO), after converting we see the same batch number is assigned.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hi gurus,
I am preparing a PP/DS demo system (optimizer) for a beverage company. The idea is to model as much constraints as possible from their production system, and most of them seem to be related to finite tank planning:
- only N flavours possible from a total of 10, but M>N lines can be working simultaneously feeded by the container holding this flavour
- limitations on the flow-rate of this container
etc
This company has not implemented PP-PI in ECC (they have repetitive production).
Has anyone tried and succeeded to model finite tank planning in APO with PPMs (or with discrete planning with PDS)??
any help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
is it possible to classify the PPDS-PDS?
we use PP-PI and I think of using CDP in APO. To make the production planning in APO PPDS I started thinking of introducing CDP in APO based on classification of boms or planning recipies in SAP ECC. Or is there a way of classifying the PPDS-PDS in APO?
thanks!
best regards,

Experts - dealing with the below situation
Master Data set up–
Finished Good A, consumes component B @ Plant # 1
We use CTP with Block Planning to produce Matl B.
Component B @ Plant # 1, sources of supply are –
Plant # 2 – where B is made on the Machine
Plant # 3 – where B can be procured from, but Plant 3 again procures it from Plant # 2.
Plant # 4 – where it can also be made on the machine
Transaction data -
Sales Order for “A” @ Plant # 1, entered with a RDD (Requested Delivery Date) – 12/01/2014.
Requirement for “B” driven to Plant # 2 with a date of 11/05/2014 (based on transit times).
With a BACKWARD + REVERSE scheduling setting on the strategy profile, the system doesn’t find a right block to meet the Requested Customer Delivery date, so, it skips Plant # 2 as the source of supply & goes to “other sources”.
Plant # 3 & 4 are set with the same priority (External Proc Relationship), so system goes to Plant # 3 & finds that it is again/in-turn sourcing from Plant # 2 & is going to delay the RDD. Keeps looping further. Finally, it confirms the Order for a much later date via Plant # 3 (sourcing from Plant # 2), even though sourcing via the priority Plant # 2 would have been earlier.
So, contrary to the standard SAP CTP theory of "meeting the Requested date with the least delay" the system seems to be delaying the customer requirement.
Expectation would have been to come back to Plant # 2, after all the gyrations & confirm with least delay to the order dates.
Any clue from your side?
Hello,
we have following issue:
one product can be produced on two machines (tank resources):
Machine A1 has max. capacity of producing 329,6 Kg
Machine A2 has max. capacity of producing 438,7 Kg
Now the production would like to have a seting that would impact the order qty when creating planned orders in APO PPDS,
so that the order quantity would always be equal to the max. capacity of a given machine.
similar to functionality of lot-size qty parameters in material master data, like rounding value or minimum lot-size.
In this case I of course cannot define the lot size in the material master to meet the requirement caouse the machines have different max. capacities.
But I wander if there is a possibility to find a solution for this requirement.
We use SAP PP-Pi 6.0 and APO 7.03
would appreciate any hints!
thanks!

Hi ,
i have below requirement..
In APO planned order / preq i want to see material revision level information .
Step 1 : bringing material revision level info to APO ( material revision level , valid from date )
Step 2 : SNP/ PPDS heuristic should attach this information to each planned orders / preq . i want to see the material revision level , valid from date for each planned order / preq
This is already available in ECC . you can see this in MD04 screen. in ECC there is a user exit REVISION_LEVEL_SELECT which is doing this while running MRP or during manual creation of planned order .
I need this same concept (material rev level , valid from date) to be calculated in APO for each planned order and should be visible in RRP3 screen.
Please let me know. how it can be done.

Hi,
Two queries related to char based ATP check (its MTS)--
1. Char based ATP check scenario is configured. The ATP check based on char is taking place correctly. System is creating sub-items for different char valuations based on search. But the batch numbers are not getting copied in the sub-items. Is this a standard behavior ?
If this is std behavior then whats the significance of batch numbers at the time of sales order creation? or the batchs are relevant only during delivery creation in this scenario?
2. Further to this, when I am trying to create delivery following error message is coming...
'Product selection sub-item coipied without main item'.
Thanks in advance...

We are using PPDS .I have a situation where my production order due date is showing 10/27 when all my components are available on 10/20 ( I checked this under context view ). What could be the reason for the production order showing a later date. Any help is appreciated
Thanks

What is the full from of HALB(semi-finished) & FERT(finished) ?
Hi,
when entering the date in product view of a pl order for example the system allows only the date format that is set in the user settings.
Question: is there any possibility in APO for a particular tool, like product view, to enable different date formats?
the production would like to set the date in different formats: e.g. DD.MM.YYYY or MM.DD.YYYY depending on the buyer / country they sell the product to. Is that possible? the requirement is manly for the date of expiry. we have a new development that enables the production planner to change manually the date of expiry in the planned order in product view. now I need to figure out how we could enable different date formats?
thanks for useful hints in advance!

Hi,
I set the "pp planning procedure" 3 (cover dependent requirements immediately) for all the semi-finished products in the product master (APO).
When scheduling pl order of end product in the detailed scheduling planning board the dependent planned orders for all semi-finished products are rescheduled as well only if I schedule the pl order of end product backwards (heuristic or drag&drop).
But if I move the pl order of end product forward all the dependent pl orders of semi-finished products will not be rescheduled accordingly = remain in the same place
Question: What parameters shall I set so the system will reschedule the dependent planned orders if I move the planned order of end product forward?
thanks for all useful hints!!!

Hi Experts,
I am new to GATP and is facing an issue regarding to closed STOs.
We are using BOP and in BOPI transcation, I can see some of the closed STOs have confirmations against them and is reducing the total availablity.
Strange thing is that I dont see these closed STOs in RRP3 and delta report is also not showing any difference.
Seems it is a GATP only issue (and my exposure to GATP is really limited).
I checked in google but yet to find a solution for this.
Any suggestions/guidence about this?
(heavy rewards awaits useful posts

Dear Gurus,
We are investigating the possibility to use Global ATP. An important requirement for us is that ATP can meet a specific
scenario which, from research, we cannot conclude whether Global ATP support this scenario:
Material 1 and other materials are entered for delivery from Plant A. We want it (complete) delivered from Plant A.
Material 1 is usually delivered from and at stock in Plant B.
In Plant A no ATP exists for material 1 and a stock transport order has to be/is created from Plant B.
The question is:
Does the confirmed delivery date to the customer for Plant A account for the ATP-situation in Plant B if there is
unexpectedly no stock at Plant B?
Or does the confirmed delivery date only accounts for the time getting the goods delivered from Plant B to Plant A.
Hope for an positive answer.
regards
Hi All,
I am facing one issue w.r.t. APO Firmed Planned Orders with conversion indicator has no numbers in it. These orders are not stuck in the CIF queues and not getting converted to production orders as well. Request to provide any ABAP report to rectify this problem.
Thanks,
