How to map WBS structure in MTO process?

[soubhagya_rout]

Hi friends,

Can we have different billing element WBS and account assigned WBS?

Suppose the WBS structure is :

1st level  : XXX-01       (Billing element)

2nd level : XXX-01-01   (Account assigned)

Billing element wbs XXX-01 assigned to SO and account assigned wbs XXX-01-01 assigned to production order. All the procurement done wrt wbs XXX-01-01.

Now during GR of FG in production order, FG will come in project inventory with wbs assigned XXX-01-01. But the wbs assigned in SO is XXX-01, so when we will do the outbound delivery, it will check the FG inventory in wbs XXX-01 but the FG lies in wbs XXX-01-01.

Please correct me where i am going wrong.

With regards,

Hi SriRamm,

These are 2 different issues and nowhere its related except both the issues raised by me.

Hi,

try to post WBS to WBS stock transfer and make delivery instead of changing account assignment and other settings.

in coming scenarios you should tick both account assignment as well as billing element to single WBS and assign that WBS as account assignment to SO and production order. for this you can use single WBS.

thanks

Hi,

Stock transfer is also a good option, but please takes care of project budget functionalities.

Hi Man,

System behaviour is correct, The WBS that you have entered in sale order is account assignment to SO.  The use of that WBS is to flow plan and actual revenue to the project WBS and manage the stock for delivery.

So while creating the delivery through SO, you should have FG stock in WBS in which have assigned in SO as account assignment.

Now, in your case you are creating FG in WBS XXX-01-01 & delivery in XXX-01 (where the stock is not available).

Solution,

1. Enable both Account Assignment Tick & Billing Element tick in WBS XXX-01-01.
2. Assign same WBS (XXX-01-01) in Production Order & sale order too.
3. GR of FG in WBS XXX-01-01.
4. Make delivery from Sale order.

Hi,

So only 1 WBS in project is required i.e. for production and delivery. One should not create 2 different WBS for account assigned and billing.

Then it is also not possible to maintain the detailed structure of FG in WBS structure e.g. the tracking of RMs required for FG or is it?

As PR for RM will be assigned to the same WBS say XXX-01-01 as the project MRP run taken on this wbs only and all the RMs are dependent requirements of that FG. So automatically same WBS will be captured in all the RM PRs.

Please guide.

Thanks,

Hi BBR,

1. For Delivery dependant billing sales order should have same WBS as of Production order.
2. Yes it is possible to maintain structure of FG WBS, provided account assignment in sales order at item level & not at header level.

e.g.

1. Create Sale order with 2 line item Say FG1 & FG2
2. Create project with 2 diff WBS say XXX-01-01 & XXX-01-02 with Billing element tick enabled.
3. Give Account Assignment in Sale order for both FG  like FG1 - XXX-01-01 & FG2 - XXX-01-02
4. Create 2 separate activities ACT 1  & ACT 2 under both WBS respectively.
5. Attach FG to both of the activities like ACT 1 - FG1 & ACT 2 - FG2
6. Release both the activities.
7. Take MRP RUN on both WBS.
8. PR will be generated for RM in both WBS & plan order for FG.
9. Convert plan order  to Production order & PR to POs
10. Release both WBS
11. Consume RM against Production order.
12. Complete GR of both FG in two separate WBS.
13. Create delivery & billing from sale order for both item

Hope this will help you.

Hi Dnyaneshwar,

What you have mentioned, technically there is no problem but why should one go for FG1 and FG2, when there is requirement for manufacture of single product.

I think if SFG is involved in the process then in order to create different production order, one has to go for multiple WBS depending upon the no. of SFG.

Thanks
