GR processing time and planning calendar (疑问解答)

GR processing time and planning calendar

by stratus1 » Fri Oct 03, 2008 1:16 pm

OK, not new topic but I didn't see resolution. Perhaps I missed in other posts.
In more details: Here's details
My Eropean supplier delivers only on Mondayss so my lot size is PK on MRP1 view and I put a planning calendar for Mondays. GR processing time is 3 days to unload container and put away.
I need a material on Tuesday Oct 21
What SAP does: planning calendar will schedule the delivery for Monday Oct 20 and then minus 3 days GR processing, delivery will be on the Oct 15 which is a Wednesday not a Monday
What I want to happen:
Material needed on tuesday Oct 20th but 3days GR processing time so material needed on Wednesday the 15th. Planning calendar should tell me supplier only delivery on
Monday so delivery should be scheduled by MRP for Monday the 13th October.

anyone have experience with the GR and planning calendars working this way?

Hi,
you can try to use the safety time in the MRP2 view.
Don't use more the GR Processing Time. You set up the 3 days in the Safety time/act.cov. and select 2 for Safety time ind.
Then you will get yor delivery on Monday before your requirement.
Kind regards.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did notice that doing this deducted three days from my planned delivery time so I think for now at least I will add 3 days to planned delivery time, set the safety time as indicated for three days and they should = original delivery time and still use planning calendar for purchasing.
thank you again for suggestion,

Another possiblity is to change lot size Procedure key PK. We copied it to lot size procedure key ZK and set the INTERPRETATION OF PLANNING CALENDAR EVENTS to "1".
This will have the effect, that GR processing time in Material Master will not be considered for planning calendar calculation.
But still the GR processing time in the Scheduling Agreement will be considered for the Planning calendar so you need to set this one to 0
Does anybode knows how to override this GR processing time in SA too for a planning calendar ?
