Differences between Make to Stock and Make to Order in SAP PP

[former_member269053]

Hi experts,

I have used the option Make to Stock and now I need to use the option Make to Order, I know the definitions of when I have to use MTS and when I have to use MTO,  but I need to know what are exactly the changes in SAP PP

Can you tell me what are exactly the differences between Make to Stock and Make to Order?

1.- What are the changes in the settings (SPRO)?

2.- What are the changes in the Master Data?

3.- What are the changes in the process?

4.- What are the changes in the transactions that should be used?

5.- What other differences are there?

Best regards,

Hi,

If you are using a product for MTS and now if you want to change to MTO then you need to change the planning strategy of the material in MRP 3 view in material master to MTO planning strategies like..20,50 etc..

1.- What are the changes in the settings (SPRO)?

     no changes in SPRO required

2.- What are the changes in the Master Data?

      material master MRP3 view change the planning strategies as said above

3.- What are the changes in the process?

     Stock you will get now will be sales order stock and not unrestricted use stock...

4.- What are the changes in the transactions that should be used?

     no changes in transactions..

5.- What other differences are there?

     Sales order stock can be delivered to that particular sales order only..where as MTS

     unrestricted use stock can be delivered to any sales order..

hope this helps...

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

3.-

Can I create a sales order if I do not have the BOM and Routing of the material?

Can I create a production order if I do not have a sales order?

4.-

Do I have to run the MRP with the transaction MD01 or I have to use other transaction?

Make to stock in standard - is when all production needs appears from internal production plan, that you put in md61. Material with 10 standard strategy......in the basis of this plan you run mrp, yhen after getting planned orders you create production orders.....

Make to order - is when all production needs appears from sales orders in SD module. Material with strategy 20(in standard)......In module SD users create sales orders and they appear in md04. Then you run MRP and as the same - get planned and production orders.

If the material is produced as to stock as from sales orders you can create your own strategy of combination 10 and 20 as strategy XX and put it into meterial. After that you can plan both as from md61 and from sales orders.....The production strategy is customized in SPRO........please, try to learn cources to do this without any help, it is easy....

good luck
