Pre requisite to set for Schedule Agreement release for JIT (JIT schedule) in SAP

Pre requisite to set for Schedule Agreement release for JIT (JIT schedule)
Prerequisites
Below setting are required
  • Material Master Record
  • Deterministic planning procedure (e.g. PD).
  • Exact lot-size calculation (e.g. EX).
  • Separate MRP group for materials you wish to procure by means of scheduling agreement releases (see below: MRP Group for Materials Ordered via SA Releases).
  • Choose the JIT delivery schedule indicator 1 in the Purchasing view if you want to work with JIT schedules.
  • Choose Procurement type F (external procurement) in the MRP 2 view to have scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines generated in materials planning.
  • Source List and Quota Arrangement
Create a source list record for each scheduling agreement item and set the indicator for relevance to materials planning to 2. Materials Planning then continually updates the overall delivery schedule.
If you have several scheduling agreements for a material, use the quota arrangement to apportion the requirements among the different vendors.
  • Customizing Materials Planning
Plant Parameters
Choose one of the following options in order to have Materials Planning generate schedule lines for scheduling agreement items in accordance with required quantities and dates:
    1. All time portions of forward scheduling are 0
Set the planned delivery time and the GR processing time to 0 in the Additional data for the scheduling agreement item.
Set the purchasing department processing time to 0 in Customizing for Production under Material Requirements Planning à Plant Parameters à Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters in the Planning Run area under External Procurement.
If the requirement date lies in the past, the system takes the current date (date on which the planning run takes place) as the delivery date. Otherwise, the delivery date corresponds to the requirement date.
    1. Start date lies in the past
In this case, the system always generates scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines whose delivery dates correspond to the requirement dates because the system never carries out forward scheduling.
You specify in the MRP group that a start date that lies in the past is allowed.
MRP Group (for Materials Ordered via SA Releases)
Maintain the following settings in Customizing for Production under Material Requirements Planning à MRP Groups à Carry Out Overall Maintenance of MRP Groups:
External procurement
  • Scheduling/document type
If you set the Sched. info./agmt. indicator, the system adopts the GR processing time and the planned delivery time from the scheduling agreement item for scheduling purposes (see option (a)).
Planning run:
    • Creation indicator
Set the SA sched. lines indicator to 3 as a general precondition for the generation of delivery schedule lines under scheduling agreements.
    • Start in past
Using the Start in past field, you can also specify that the system is to work with a delivery date that lies in the past (see option b).
Assign this MRP group in the master records of the materials ordered via SA releases

basic Physical Inventory process


Physical Inventory Process
This document will help to understand the basic process of Physical Inventory and the steps that are required to perform in SAP. it will also help to understand the business terms that are use in Physical Inventory Process .


Why Physical Inventory is Needed
There are several reasons why an enterprise should inventory its stocks
In an Organization it is legal requirement to carry out a physical Inventory once in a year at regular intervals such as organization need to have correct stock quantity on hand.Inventory checks the stocks of material to establish the current assets that are listed in the company balance sheet. Incorrect Stock data can result in incorrect availability figures . It is very helpful for proper Material Planning.











   Basic Steps in Physical Inventory
1.     Creation of physical inventory documents
2.     Entry of count
3.     Posting of inventory difference

PI doc consist of
1.        The plant and storage location in which counting is to take place.
2.        The date on which the count is to take place (planned count date).
3.        Stock type to be counted and status of the item .
P

                                                                       


Step 1. Creation Of Physical Inventory  doc PI doc
In the first phase, we  create the physical inventory (PI) documents. SAP
R/3 provides several procedures for the mass-generation of PI documents.
After selecting the stocks to be counted and creating the PI documents, you
print out the documents in order to start the counting process.

Transaction code – MI01
Go to transaction put the plant and storage location for which you want to create PI , if you want to do inventory for a special stock you need to select the special stock ( ex. K – vendor consignment , P- pipeline , Q- project ).
In the next screen








Input the material for which you need to perform physical inventory
Go to header






In the header you can provide the Planned count date  and save it .
Planned Count date - Indicates the date on which the physical inventory count is to take place

Posting Block Indicator -  if the posting block indicator is checked no goods movements involving the materials listed in the physical inventory document can be posted for the duration of a physical inventory count.
Freeze book Inventory – This indicator is checked when you have counted the stock but the count are not entered immediately due to this check any movement which take place that time will not change the book inventory balance  relevant to physical inventory.

Step 2.Enter the count
Here you enter the physical quantity you counted and save it ,after entering the count PI doc Counted status is X ( means counting has beed done in header of PI )
Transaction code – MI04
Stock in the system is 1000
Count - 1050

3.Post the difference – u need to post the difference if the stock in the system and during counting differ for a material .

Ex for material satya106
  Stock in the system – 1000 PC
 Counted during inventory – 1050 PC
  Difference – 50 PC
Transaction Code – MI07 or you can also use T transaction – MI20

Go to  MI20
Input – material number , plant , storage location and PI number and execute
