Steps for Subcontracting
Planned Order Conversion to Process Orders
We are facing problems when
converting planned orders to process orders. During conversion when BOM is
re-exploded it is not using the same production version as specified in the
planned order instead it defaults to the first one it sees.

I need to know if I am missing any
settings anywhere.....
First ensure that setting in the
material master for BOM explosion is "Selection thru prod version".
Then Pls check the validity periods of
the new production version.
e.g
Prod Ver Val frm val to No lot size variation
0001 01.01.2007 31.12.9999
0002 01.01.2007 31.01.2007
or
0001 01.01.2007 31.12.9999
0002 01.01.2007 31.12.2007
Then in both the cases system will
always pick prod ver 0001 default (Longer validity period). If not the case
then
Check for lot size variation (if lot size dependent.)
Further if you are not able to select
the req prod Ver then you can lock the earlier prod version(if it is not in
use).
To avoid this prob in future.... always
use "Valid to date" either in limits (31.12.2007) or without limit (31.12.9999)
for all prod version of a material.
When we have to go for Planned order
conversion to Process order, it is used in manufacturing industry or process
industry, when exactly we use process orders?
It is used for process industries.
