SAP Production Planning Table

A2: You may create a routing group. Go into routing creation and enter the plant and the
group name. If you want you may name the group , else name is assigned by internal
counter). Create the routing with the work centers, operation times, etc. Go to the
"Header overview" screen and click on the "Mat Alloc" screen. Fill in the blanks with all
the material masters that use this routing.
Q: Scheduling times can be defined in the material master record by;
# entering the in-house production time. This value can be updated from the routing by
the system.
# entering the setup, tear down, processing, and interoperation times. If these values are
maintained, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.
How do you get the system to update this value from the routing?
A: In routing, carry out scheduling. Go into the routing operation overview and follow
Extras -> Scheduling -> Results. The pop-up window displays the scheduling data. At the
bottom there is a pushbutton to copy the scheduling data to the material master Check
this push button to update master data.
Q: We have deleted a group key in an operation in routing and the same does not appear
for this routing (CA02). But we noticed that entries are maintained in table PLPO and the
deletion indicator is not set. How does the system remember this deletion of group key?
A: You may look at the tables PLKO, MAPL and PLAS.
Sales & Operations Planning
Q: We defined SOP in months. However during SOP transfer to demand management,
our independent requirements are appearing in weeks. How can we correct this from
weeks into months ?
A: Check transaction OMPA for general split. OMPS - based on the MRP group.
Ensure that MRP group assigned to the material. Delete any allocations in these
tables. Then periods will be transferred to Demand Management with the same
splits as in SOP. Also check whether the value of period is set as "month" at your plant
level in Transaction 'OMP7'
Demand Management
Q: Sales quantities in SOP for certain days are transferred into Demand Management
and are shown as planned independent requirements. We need to keep the settings in SOP
and change the periods in Demand Management? We would like to have a rolling
horizon, for ex: the following 4 weeks on a daily basis, after that on a monthly basis.
What is the best way to do this?
A: Use the automatic period split function.
