Dear Is-Mill experts,
I am trying to activate Is-mill functionality in ECC6 EHP6. The below business function is activated:
The config node came up and the profile settings are maintained at "administer selection profile..".
Now, when i go to co01, system is throwing error:
I believe some note or patches are missing. Can anybody suggest the cause and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks

Hello,
I am working in a paper manufacturing company and in the production process we have Reels and eventually cut into rolls. Multiple orders with the same dimension will be trimmed into 1 single Reel. The positions decide on which orders should be placed accordingly to get maximum output (less loss). We use external trimming solution to merge orders and get them back to APO to convert to Production order. My question is - Do we have trimming capability in SAP APO? or in ECC is-Mill scenarios?
Any info in this line would also be helpful.
Thanks,

Experts,
I wanted to understand if anyone has had experience in dealing with the Mill/Paper environment where an APO integration was involved. To be more specific, these industries need, what we call the "combined production orders". While we can use Block planning in APO (alongwith CDP) & promise orders using Capable-to-Promise to customers, what has remained a question to my mind is how do we create the combined production orders automatically (via CIF) once we've set the conversion from APO?
Most of the implementations use some kind of external Trim optimization engines (greycon, X-trim, I see that SAP has a tool called TrimLight). SAP clearly has made provisions within the APO programming to connect with the trim tools. Are there instances of implementations that do not use these Trim tools & yet combine orders in ECC? If yes, how? I know the IS-Mill functionality has provisions to combine Sales Orders, Plnd Orders & Production Orders.
Cheers
Hi,
For a SAP IS-Mill Implementation for our customer, we are planning to use Standard I-Doc /SAPMP/MBGMCRCL_01 to accomplish the below three activities simultaneously in SAP:
1. Batch Creation
2. Valuation of Batch Characteristics
3. Goods Movement- Initial Entry of Stock Balances ( Mvt Type-561) in SAP WM
When posting this I Doc, the system creates the Batch for Material and post the Goods Movement in Warehouse Bins; however the Batch Characteristics Valuations specified in the I Doc Data are not passed to the Batch Master. Are there are specific customizing activities or settings ( Movement Type, Batch Class or Batch Characteristics) which are prequisites for successful Batch Valuations ; pls. share solutions/inputs.
The Inbound Function Module for this I Doc is BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1.
Thanks & Regards

Hello
I need to merge several production orders in background and the only bapi that i have found is the "MILL_OC_ORDER_MERGE" fm.
It has a parameter for background processing but still it brings the warning/error/info messages in foreground and also asks for user input in some cases.
I need a function module for background processing, that gives me the error/warnings as a log and there should be no user interaction required.
can anybody help?
Thank you
Sebastian
We are looking for implementing SAP Mill product for cable industry.
Basically we are trying to understand the benefits of putting this solution.
Here are our requirements
Characteristics based planning (Planning to use PPDS )
Empty reel calculation (Do we need to use variant configuration for this)
Wants to see stock based on characteristics (I hope we can see stock based on batch characteristics)
Group and process order using characteristics values (Can we use batch characteristics for grouping order. Or should we use material characteristics)
how to create sap marketplace user ID. But may be not a SAP customer. Please tell me someone

Does anyone know how to run MRP to make sure that batches are not to be considered for planning after their expiration date?
any help is greatly appreciated
I found across one article in SAP info which discussed top 10 functions in Enhancement Package 6. Some of them i found may be relevant to Mill products and Mining so I have provided this below:
Customers who have SAP ERP 6.0 and make use of the plant maintenance component can look forward to three efficiency improvements after implementing Enterprise Asset Management Part 5. For one, it gives users the ability to add purchase requisition fields directly to the operation overview and component overview of a given order. This saves hard-working employees from having to make that extra click to view the purchase requisition fields in detail processing. Another time-saver: Maintenance plans can now be rescheduled automatically when the maintenance strategy has been changed. And lastly, users can change the content of different fields for multiple order operations at the same time.
In a competitive market, efficiently moving goods along the supply chain is crucial. To do so, companies will want to activate this new business function, which integrates their SAP ERP system with SAP Transportation Management (TM). The integration transfers orders from SAP ERP to SAP TM at an early stage in the order management process, so users can better perform better transportation planning for sales orders, returns orders, purchase orders, and stock transport orders. It also transfers information about freight orders and freight units from SAP TM to SAP ERP, so users can optimize their inbound and outbound deliveries.
Businesses in the manufacturing industry can increase efficiency in their production processes by integrating SAP ERP and manufacturing execution systems (MES) more closely. The initial integration was delivered via a previous enhancement and made it possible for users to define which production orders created in SAP ERP should be synchronized in the MES. Users could also monitor the status of orders and get confirmation of the quantities manufactured. Now, thanks to a second enhancement, the integration has been further improved with several new features. Users can now use a data replication framework to transfer master data and transaction data from SAP ERP to an MES, allowing them to specify which data they want to replicate. Improved production order integration ensures that a changed order is automatically send to the MES again. And there is now integration support for planned orders too.
Hope this might be helpful.

Dear Sir,
Can anybody provide an addon ppt in production process for textiles industry
I’m using transaction MILL_OC to convert a bunch of planned orders into a single Mill Products Production Order.
The selection screen works fine when I select by MRP Controller and Date. But as soon as I add the additional selection of Work Center I get no results.
I have verified that my Work Center CHI_F2 is indeed in the scheduled planned orders. My work center category is 0001 Machine.
Any idea why this is not working? Thank you.
Hi experts.
I am facing an issue, our client asked to activate dimp in their industry. After activating I tried combination order and Mill_oc gave me error that no orders selected.
I have done necessary configuration following SAP document.
I was trying on one material and created several identical orders with reference to different sales order. only one appeared in Mill_oc rest are not appearing.
if I am excluding the one appearing in list then system is giving error "No Order Selected"
Please advise.

Hi MM Gurus
I have made the application group for Transaction MIGO and assign char display to that application group in Config.
I am able to get fast enty of chars when material is received against purchase order but when I do good receipt
with "Other" option i.e 501 movement type then i am not able to get fast enty display.
Is there any other setting which I have to do in addition to that which i have mentioned above.
Regards
Manish
My sales item is iron and I have only one material number for this product. My client requires pricing based on batch characteristics
since there is characteristic for batch as batch grades (1, 2, 3)
Hello Experts,
I have couple of questions and would be thankful for any input on this.
1. Which table would have any indicator / information to show that a particular order is a combined order and its associated production orders?
2. I need to send the combined order to MII and am using LOIPRO03 but do not see the associated production order in the IDoc. How can these be obtained?
3. The one indicator I see in the IDoc is field FLG_MLTPS = X which I assume is an indicator that this is a combined order. Is this assumption correct?
Would appreciate your comments on the above.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
We are testing the integration of classified ECC batches into APO and are encountering a CIF SYSFAIL error when transferring batch class 023 to APO.
SYSFAIL occuring in Function Modules /SAPAPO/CIF_CHR30_INB and SAPAPO/CIF_CLA30_INB. Status Text of CIF error only indicates "::000"
We have followed the links for integration of Class/Characteristics and integration of Batches and have done the steps outlined below.
Background
ECC 6.0 DIMP/ SCM 7.0
Steps taken
1) We have created a batch class 023 and variant class 300 with the same exact technical name (ie Z_ROLL)
2) Within each class, we have designated specific characteristics to be APO relevant via Organizational Area assignment (ie Org Area)
3) Within SCM config, we have configured Organizational area for class type 230 (ie 
Cross-Application Components 
Classification SystemClasses Maintain Object Types and Class Types) , assigning it to table /SAPAPO/VERSKEY
Hi all,
Is there anyone using restricted interchangeability. I read help documents and forum but couldn't find enough info. Can you give some information usage and configuration of it?
Thanks all.
Processing the Fast Entry screen of the Multi Item Order seems very manual. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
We are in a Make to Stock environment making rolls of bubble wrap. We are currently operating without variant configuration.
MRP generates planned orders for Finished Goods, several of which use the same extrusion. The difference in the finished goods are things like: length of roll; width of roll; type of core; type of outer bag; and labeling. We want to create one multi item production order to produce all of the finished goods that come from the common extrusion for the week.
I can use CO40 Conversion of Planned Order to convert the first Finished Good's Planned Order to the Production Order but then I must use the Fast Entry screen to manually add other FG header materials and the quantities required of each. I cannot make use of the “convert planned order to production order” functionality for these subsequent header materials. Am I missing something here? It seems very manual not to be able to make use of the MRP generated planned orders that exist for the other Finished Goods!
Thank you for your help!
I'm trying to create a material in ECC with Material Type 'MCFE'. IS-DIMP 617 is installed for the Mill Products. This populates 2 mandatory fields 'Vers.cat.' (VTYPE) and 'Maint.Auth' on the first screen of material master. The values cannot be entered manually. Where and how to maintain values for these fields?
Hello Experts,
I am trying to create a combined production order using FM MILL_OC_ORDER_MERGE.
Necessary production orders have been created after creating sales order.
But during execution it is not processed in background. Instead it goes in to user input screen giving list of operations to be selected. Even after selecting the operations, it gives the error that "Settlement profile could not be created".
Can some one please give any input on this as to what is that I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
