Lot sizing procedure requirement in REM MTO scenario.

[Former Member]

Hi PP Gurus,

The requirement is to get no. of planned orders taking 125kg as fixed quantity. Actually Client wants to give unique batch no. to each planned order though their daily Production quantity is fixed if they get order (that's why we prefer REM).

We know, it is possible in Discrete Manufacturing environment by taking appropriate MRP type with Lot size FX and giving proper lot. After taking MRP run system will create that much Planned order depending on Fixed Lot that we have given in Materials master of that material. But is it possible in Repetitive Manufacturing environment?

We took MRP type PD, Strategy Grp 20 with Fixed lot size 125, REM profile 0002 (standard) with Rate routing and Materials BOM combination in Production Version. Everything required for REM maintained properly. We already checked SAP IDES, there is no such scenario.

Please suggest the best possible options and make your prompt comments.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Can you try order splitting (FS) and in the takht time enter the number of in house production days (1). In the rounding value assign the quantity for the daily lot size.

In OMI4

Use the lot size FS

set the indicator last lot to exact

set the overlapping ind as -

Enter the Rounding value as 6 ( example)

In material master MRP 3 VIEW

set the lot size as FS

enter the takt time as 1 day if you want daily

planned order and two if you want planned orders

alternate day.

Enter fixed lot size as multiple of rounding value

Hi R. Brahmankar,

I changed some settings in lot size FS that you suggested and maintained all parameters in Material masters MRP3 view. Still it is not working and not giving Fixed Lot size of 175 kg. Could you please come back with soem tips?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

If you maintain max lot size system always create the planned orders in the same multiples which we mentioned in the material master to satisfy the requirement and if at all any left over qty is there (less than the multiple qty),system will create separate planned order for that qty.

Set the MTO lot size = 1 (lot-for-lot with rounding) for EX lotsize at OMI4.

Please try this as it is make to order ? So let me check also i will let you know.

Hi R. Brahmankar,

Please explain the suggestion with an example. We are not getting what did you mean to say actually. As already told it is MTO REm scenario with Valuated Stock type. Please come back.

Hi,

Check with the Lot size customization: OMI4.

With the lot size FX : At the bottom, there is an option for Lot size for Sales Order Planning.

Here select the Option 1 - Lot-for-lot with rounding

The system calculates the order quantity using the lot-for-lot order quantity and it also takes the rounding quantity or the minimum and maximum lot sizes into account.

You can maintain th Minimum and Max lot size which can be used for SO Planning.

This is the only option available.

If the indicator is 1, then system should consider the Min and Max lot size in the Material Master.

Or.

Change the lot size to EX and same settings in OMI4, try this, may work not very sure

Hope this helps.

Dear Abu,

In strategy 20, system will propose only order qty.

System will not consider lot size.

You can have for MTO Strategy 20, at the max you can have Rounding Values.

If your requirement can be fulfilled with Rounding then you need to maintain the below settings.

Transaction : OMI4

MTO Lot Size: "1" Lot-for-Lot with rounding.

Hi R. Brahmankar and PP Gurus,

Could you please suggest the right and best strategy for MTO REM scenario with valuated stock type that will support this splitting in Planned order quantity?

Please revert.
