Detailed Problem Description
(Include Screen Shots if required )
01. Continuation of analysis for the same issue as on dated 03/23/2016 - As per our earlier solution provided during the retail implementation in Japan and korea for ZRSD condition type in the pricing procedure. We made some changes by altering the calculation routine for NETP and PNTP condition type. So this time business wants to apply the same for retail pricing (US & Canada). So we need to find out each calculation routine (17 & 3) does, and provide the analysis of possible impacts of this change. - (By Dan)
02. 04/05/2016 - JCP - Contract # 40013767 was showing demand after fully called off? - (By Dan)
03. 04/06/2016 - NEQ and NEP cost estimate exchange rate type P for China
04. 04/04/2016 - LIDS safety stock program. Safety stock reserved for LIDS is being stolen by other customers due to standard ATP and ARUN behaviour. Research/Identify options to stop this and ensuring minimum levels are maintained at any point of time.
Solution Analysis and Recommendations
(Include Screen Shots if required)
01. 04/04/2016 - After the analysis we suggested that, It is not advisable to modify the existing routines/pricing procedure for a new business process as it may impact the existing pricing calculations unless we thoroughly test and rule out negative impact. Also provided the below attached OSS Note, it has the details of NEPT and PNTP calculation routines including 17 and 3 base calculation routines.

02. 04/05/2016 - We analysed the issue and found that, some subsequent call offs were rejected and those rejected quantities were not showing up in the contract as open quantity. So there were stock inconsistencies for the above contract. So we suggested to run the program /AFS/SDRQ.
03. 04/06/2016 - Analysed and found that Exchange rate P is maintained for controlling area so all the entries related to cost/costing will hit the exchange rate type P.
04. A few options are available to handle the requirement/issue -
- Sales and forecast planning could be devised for maintaining minimum inventory.
- Replenishment program can be designed using ATP and Inventory report for specific materials/plant combination and maintain supply-demand consistency. This process can be fully automated.
- Controls can be put in place at order confirmation and ARUN process to make sure selective materials inventory levels are controlled. This involves manual steps to make a decision as to who the inventory should go to.
- Activate Consignment Process - Stock is kept at the customer premises or at a reserved location - as the inventory is consumed, the customer is invoiced.
- Turn on SLOC check ATP to turn off check at a particular location while the plant inventory is considered.
Resolution
01. 04/04/2016 - It is not finalized yet but If retail is being set up region wise, then we would go with best practice and create new pricing procedure. Need to discuss with NewEra on this.
02. 04/05/2016 - Program was run by Dan and the issue of stock inconsistencies got fixed!
