3.2 SNP Planning (APO)


as normal

3.3 MPS Planning (APO)


Before MPS run:

a) Created Forecast on Nestle Factory for product produced by Subcontractor will generate Purchase
requisitions with the link to the subcontracting contract (via transportation lane). These Purchase
Requisitions are carrying the BOM inside and generate via this dependent requirements for the raw /
packaging materials on R/3 side.

b) On the Subcontracting Location for the produced item there are automatically Planned Orders (PlOrd)
created, if not enough stock is on hand. The dependent element from the PReqs are 'PReqRel'.

c) On the Subcontracting Location the components of the produced item (due to the PPM on the vendor
location) are requested from the Nestlé Factory via Stock Transfer Reservation. The dependent
element from the Planned Orders are Subcontractor Requirements (SubReq).

d) If on the Nestlé Factory the component requested by the Subcontractor for his production is not
available Planned Orders to produce the semifinished product are automatically generated.

3.5 MRP Planning (R/3)


MRP planning on plant level (MD01) calculates also all MRP areas; planning single items (MD02, MD03)
does not consider MRP areas. For stock transfer items system asks if planning should be executed on the
other factory in order initiate PReqs there in case of stock out.

The Actual Stock & Requirements list shows for all materials also the stock on the Subcontractor site, if the
good movements are posted in the system. These stock positions are important for the MRP run, because
only in case of negative available stock at the subcontractor the Dependent Subcontractor Requirements are
shown as dublicates on the Nestlé factory and considered by the MRP run.

Quantities of dependent reqs can also be shown partially if stock at subcontractor site is not covering the
requirement completely.

a) Material with MRP area

- stock situation on Nestlé Factory  no dependent requirement due to MRP area

- stock situation on MRP area

Dependent Requirements with assigned Subcontractor and assigned external Vendor for packaging material
in case of purchase requisition that is purchased for the subcontractor (source of supply determined via
standard master data: contract in source list).

b) Material with Stock Transfer from other factory

- stock situation on Nestlé Factory

Dependent Requirements with assigned Subcontractor and Purchase Req with delivering plant / Vendor
number for packaging material that is purchased from another Nestlé factory (source of supply determined
via standard master data: stock transfer plant in source list).

The Purchase Requisition generated via MRP run shows the Supplying Plant and Purchase Organisation
from the source list entry. The item category is matching with the special proc. type for stock transfer 'U'.

- stock situation on Nestlé stock transfer plant

The Purchase Requisition for stock transfer is here shown as Release Order for Stock Transfer Purchase
Requisition (PReqRel) with the receiving plant assigned. In case of negative available quantity the MRP run
generates here a standard purchase requisition to cover the requirement.

5 SC Vendor modelled as Plant

5.1 Master Data Setup

 Logical plant Z207 represents Subcontractor 100000004

 Material 1000050: produced item on subcontractor site (spec. proc. type '30')

 BOM in R/3 on logical plant Z207 that represents SC vendor


 Contract for 1000050 raised against Vendor 100000004 on Z207; item category 'L'
 Planning in APO executed for material on Z207; this triggers planning of other materials
 Transportation lane SU0100000004  Z207 with contract
 PPM in APO created on Z207 (including production resource on Z207)

 Material 10000199: semi-finished item used to produce the finished

 produced on Z203 and from there physically send to SC vendor


 Transportation lane Z203  Z207 and Z207  SU0100000004

Subcontracting Scenario Guidelines

 Material 10000191: purchased from Vendor 100000006 and directly send to SC Vendor

 MRP area created on material master of plant Z207 directing to SC Vendor 100000004
 Contract with assignment of SC Vendor on delivery address
 Source list is carrying the MRP area

 Material 10000192: purchased from plant Z204

 special proc. type for stock transfer from Z204 placed on material master of plant Z207

5.2 Comments
No direct transport lane from Z203 to Subcontractor as the related Stock Transfer Reservations created in
APO can not be CIFed to R/3; as Z203 is not carrying the BOM in this scenario, no Subcontractor
Requirement is created on this plant that can be picked up by ME2O transaction (the SubReq is created on
Z207 where the BOM in R/3 is existing  component in BOM linked to Z207 instead of Z203).

(example of direct transport lane from Z203 to SU0100000004 for material 10000199)

Therefore the PReqs created between Z203 and the logical plant indicate that the delivery address has to be
changed to the Subcontracting one ( ideally plant has already this address and description).
A special procurement type for 'withdrawal from another plant' results for manufacturing in direct
consumption of this material from the other plant. As materials handling requires GR/GI and shipping
documents for material movements 'withdrawal from another plant' is no option.

This applies to all APO planned materials that are shipped from a location (where BOM in R/3 is not created
on) to the subcontractor.

6 Production Versions at the SC Vendor


If several alternative BOMs exist for the item produced by the subcontractor there is no real option in
detecting the desired production version interactively.
The problem is that the planned order for the produced item is just another view on the Preq created on the
plant that buys the produced material back from the subcontractor and therefore cannot be changed  no
other PPM selectable.

Nevertheless it is possible to create in R/3 alternative BOMs and in APO matching PPMs.

R/3

APO

In order to target the planning run on different PPMs in APO a Quota Arrangement can be created
referencing both PPMs. The selected PPM can still not be changed in the planned orders itself.

7 CIF of Production Versions


Since SAP R/3 release 4.7 (Enterprise) it is possible to create PPMs on subcontractor locations by
CIFing production versions from R/3 into APO. In order to create a production version additional
master data are necessary (in R/3: BOM, Production Resource, Master Recipe, Production
Version, Purchasing Inforecord where production version is linked to).
These master data are equivalent with master data that are also required in APO to run the
scenario (in R/3: BOM; in APO: Production Resource, PPM).

This method of PPM creation should be used rather than creating manaully, as this is a pre-
requisite for the allocation of BoM components to the correct plants.

7.1 R/3 Master Data


 BOM

 Production Resource (entries on basic data, capacities, scheduling, costing necessary)

7.2 CIF Integration Model


On the CIF integration model the contract or purchasing inforecord (type subcontracting) and the production
resource, PPM (type subcontracting) for the selected subcontracted material have to be listed.

7.3 APO Master Data created via CIF


The Production Versions create PPMs in APO.

The Purchasing Info Record creates a Transportation Lane of type subcontracting.


If in parallel a contract is CIFed across this results in a second transport lane entry.

8 Open Points

8.1 Wrong Delivery address


If materials have to be shipped from multiple factories / DCs to the SC Vendor only on one of these plants
the R/3 BOM can be created and therefore in R/3 the delivery address has to be changed manually in each
Preq / Purchase Order.
Functionality of special procurement types (setting: 'withdrawal from another plant') to be tested.

8.2 Alternative BOMs / several Production Versions


The quota arrangements are not correctly considered by PPDS heuristics  OSS message to be raised.

BOM re-explosion on Preq for the subcontracted item in R/3 changes the determined BOM always back into
the first alternative BOM in R/3 due to the sorting sequence of BOMs the first alternative is chosen.
In case of CIFing production versions to APO the re-explosion does not change BOM, even if version was
changed in inforecord inbetween.

8.3 Transportation Lane


Only contract or info record with prod version should be CIFed, otherwise 2 entries are created on the
transportation lane, but only the first one will be considered by the planning run. It is not possible to get
contract and inforecord with production version linked to the PReq.

When transport lane entry of type subcontracting created via CIFing of inforecord or contract gets blocked
the flag for type subcontracting is unticked on saving (in addition warning message that type should not be
changed). When entry is unblocked again, the flag is not set back. So the entry has to be deleted and
reCIFed, otherwise item categories in R/3 and APO do not match and result in CIF blockage.
This is a bug  OSS message to be raised.
