Production Planning in a cross Plant/Company set-up

[Ranjith_N_Ravi]

Hello Everyone,

This document explains the steps required to configure a system for Production planning in a cross Plant/Company set-up. Many members post questions with a bit of variation regarding this scenario. Hopefully, This blog will address the below 2 scenarios.

 

	Company	Plant	Header Mat	Item	Item	Item
Scenario 1	7000	7001	311	312	250	321
	7000	7002	250	271

 

Scenario 2	7000	7001	311	312	250	321
	8000	8002	321	327

Business Scenario 1: Different Plant in same Company code

The customer is placing a Sale Order in the 7001 plant.
The manufacturings of the products are happening in different plants.(i.e Assembly of the product happening in the plant (7001) and Semi-finished products are produced in another plant(7002)).
The demand from 7001 plant should come to 7002 plant and need to produce them according to the requirement.
After manufacturing the semi-finished product, the products from 7002 plant stock will be shipped(Stock transport Order) to the assembly plant (7001) for the assembling process.

 

 

 

Prerequisites:

Master Data:

Material Type	Number	Plant	Example	BoM	Routing	PV
FERT	1	7001	311	✓	✓	✓
HALB	1	7001	250
ROH	1	7001	312
HALB	1	7002	250	✓	✓	✓
HALB	1	8002	321	✓	✓	✓

 

Master Data Changes:

Material	Plant	Procurement	Special Procurement
311	7001	E
250	7001	F	90
312	7001	F
250	7002	E	70
321	7001	F	80
321	8002	E	70

 

 For 321 material maintain the same changes.

 

Configuration:

Special Procurement Key: 70,80 and 90.

 

Special Procurement Key: 70 in SFG manufacturing plant

 

Special Procurement Key: 80 and 90 in FG/Assembly plant

 

Demand in both Plants (7001,7002)

 

In the 7001 plant, we will get STO PR. PR can be converted in STO purchase order. The item category will be "U".

Please continue the normal STO process.

 

 

Business Scenario 2: Different Plant in different Company code

The customer is placing a Sale Order in the 7001 plant.
The manufacturings of the products are happening in different plants.(i.e Assembly of the product happening in the plant (7001) and Semi-finished products are produced in another plant(8002) under 8000 Company code).
The demand from 7001 plant should come to 8002 plant and need to produce them according to the requirement.
After manufacturing the semi-finished product, the products from 8002 plant stock will be shipped(Stock transport Order) to the assembly plant (7001) for the assembling process.

 



 

 

Demand in both Plants (7001,8002)

 

In the 7001 plant, we will get STO PR. PR can be converted in STO purchase order. The item category will be "U".

Please continue the normal STO process.

 

Conclusion:

The production cost will capture in respective manufacturing plants. if the plants are in a different place then you can add transportation cost in the STO P.O.

 

There is N number of scenarios for Multi Plant/Company Planning, I hope this blog has established a baseline understanding of how Multi Plant Planning works.

If you have any queries please feel free to ask.
