GATP & PPDS for capability to promise in Steel Industry
Dear all, the way steel industry products are bought, manufactured and sold it is clear that to map them into SAP , one would need Variant Configuration with immense amounts of Macro authoring for rules. The trouble is in promising the date of delivery, or rather honoring it once you have promised. This can only be done by utilizing a combination of GATP and PPDS. Basically using CTP.
My request to Gurus here is, if anyone has been in similar circumstances, can she / he guide me with some information, material ...or just continuing this discussion. We are about to enter a large scale SAP implementation with above scenario as a focus area.

gATP check for Batch Managed materials using Sales Order UOM instead of Base UOM
Hello,
We are in the early process of evaluating IS-Mills DIMP functionality based on ECC 6.0 and with SCM 7.0 and have a question related to gATP check for Batch Managed materials.
1) Question
·
Is it possible to perform a gATP check based on the Sales Order UOM and not the product Base UOM so that the order can be confirmed based on pieces in stock regardless of quantity available in Base UOM? (See scenario below)
2) Scenario
- Product Base unit of Measure is pounds (LB)
- Material is batch managed and is kept in inventory as stock material
- Sales order entered for unit of measure – “Roll”.
- Order quantity = 1 roll
- Per Material Master alternative UOM, 1 Roll = 1,000 LBs
- In stock, we have 1 batch representing 1 Roll however actual batch weight is 980 lbs (due to theoretical vs actual weight variances).
- When gATP check is executed in our system, it checks based on base UOM (lbs) and will never allow a full confirmation based on the customer ordered quantity of 1 Roll.
3) Business Requirement
- If customer ordered in UOM of 1 Roll and there is 1 Roll available in stock, Sales order line item should be fully confirmed regardless of weight of that actual batch in stock
We understand it is possible in ECC and ECC-DIMP systems, to define batch specific units of measure and define batches as “Single Unit batches”. We also saw there is also functionality in IS-Mills called “Sales Order Fulfillment with Requirements Reduction in Pieces but are not clear how this integrates into the gATP check.
4) Feedback requested
- Options in standard ECC (non IS-Mills) with APO
- Options in IS-Mills DIMP ECC with APO
Thank you

Can Bacteria help in Mining?
Hello Friends,
When we think about Mining we visualise heavy loaders or big trucks or heavy equipments.but do you know besides this big-big machines some small-small microorganisms also helps in mining just like earthworms for farmer and like squirrels in Ramayana helps Lord Rama to build the bridge.
One of the biggest mining company Vale is researching on copper eating bacteria to recover copper from tailings. In Mining industry ores are processed to separate metals from waste. however after some extent when it is not either not possible or not feasible to further recover metal so they are treated as tailings and disposed to tailing dams.
Vale along with BNDES and university of SaoPaulo is researching for copper eating bactaria.These bactaria will be blended to the tailings which will eat copper from these waste and that copper can be recovered from bacteria, reprocess it and sold to market.According to Vale its Sessego mine tailing dam contains 90 million tons of 0.07% of copper grade detritus which due to its low grade cannot be recovered. so if this project get success all of this copper can be recovered which would value approx US$ 1.4 billions.this method is more popular as Bioleaching.
One another concern why mining companies is researching on this is that Bioleaching is more cleaner than other traditional method of recovering metals which require use of hazardous chemicals which may affect environment.

The first fully integrated Enterprise Financial Modelling product for the Mining Industries
The first fully integrated Enterprise Financial Modelling product for the Mining Industries
Original article: http://www.rpmglobal.com/news-and-media/the-first-fully-integrated-enterprise-financial-modelling-product-specifically-targeted-at-the-mining-industry
RungePincockMinarco (RPM) has today launched the first fully integrated EFM application specifically built for the mining industry, XERAS for Enterprise ™.
BRISBANE, Australia (May 30, 2013)
XERAS for Enterprise represents the next generation of RPM’s industry leading budgeting and financial modelling software product XERAS ™, which is used by major mining companies all over the world.
Launched with the support of global ERP powerhouse SAP AG (SAP), XERAS for Enterprise seamlessly integrates SAP’s Financial and Maintenance Management modules with the financial modelling capabilities of XERAS. This integration allows for unprecedented levels of financial visibility and cost control, from individual mine sites through to corporate management reporting systems.
Speaking at the product’s launch in Brisbane, Australia, RPM’s Chief Executive Officer Richard Mathews said, “The focus of the industry has clearly shifted to driving productivity improvements. Across our global client base we are seeing a growing demand from Boards and senior management for increased visibility, control and predictability of capital and operating cost structures. The ability to explain the difference between actual and planned financial results and to predict the financial implications of changes in the mining environment is of critical importance to our customers.”
Mr. Mathews went on to say, “We’ve listened to what our customers have been telling us and specifically asking for. They wanted us to take the visibility they get at an operational level from our market leading XERAS product and extend it across the Enterprise and we have done that with SAP.”
“Our relationship with SAP makes perfect sense given our almost identical customer base in the industry. This product has been a long time in the making and we are thrilled to bring it to market now. Never before has a complex mining company had the ability to see the immediate financial impacts of a change in an operational mine plan reflected in real time in a corporate budgeting and reforecasting systems.”
XERAS for Enterprise represents the first of RPM’s technology products to take the strategic step forward into the enterprise environment. XERAS for Enterprise follows closely behind the successful launch of RPM’s enterprise enabled XERAS 8.0 last week.
Commenting on this milestone, Board member and company founder, Dr. Ian Runge said, “The conversion of physical attributes of a mine plan into a cost by consumable category was the basis for the original development of XERAS over 20 years ago. To see this natural extension in which mining executives now have full financial visibility from the mine site all the way through to the corporate ERP is very satisfying to say the least.”
With a centralised platform for conducting analysis and generating different scenarios using auditable and validated information, XERAS for Enterprise bridges the gap between the mine and the boardroom. It exposes the strengths and weaknesses of the mine plan and provides critical information which management can use to act upon.
XERAS for Enterprise provides many new significant business benefits which Darren Rostron, RPM’s XERAS Product Manager explains.
“XERAS for Enterprise gives our customers the ability to perform in depth plan vs. actuals analysis. It not only provides variance reporting but also lets you get under the covers so you can truly understand the reasons and underlying logic behind the causes.
“It allows you to reforecast dynamically on the go. When unexpected events occur, such as equipment failure, weather events, or a major drop in commodity prices XERAS for Enterprise quickly helps you understand the financial impact on the business and make informed decisions.
“XERAS for Enterprise standardises financial costing models, enabling fast consolidation and central control of underlying assumptions. The days of manually rolling up financial models into giant spreadsheets are over. Its rapid consolidation of multiple budgets allows operational and financial managers to understand their future financial position across their entire global operations.
“The improved cost visibility provided by XERAS for Enterprise means that senior management are able to drill down through all the layers of the financial plan, right through to the underlying base assumptions at a particular site if they want.
“It makes the crucial job of financial modelling, budgeting and reforecasting much simpler. With XERAS for Enterprise, it’s easier for financial managers to make decisions with confidence.
“Having a single source of truth for financial planning is paramount in today’s mining environment. We endeavor to provide better access to information for technical and operational decision-making, which in turn delivers more efficient mining and certainty for key stakeholders.”
Mr. Mathews concluded by saying, “One of the most frequently asked questions in mining today is why actual costs are different to the original budget or the recent reforecast. XERAS for Enterprise gives you the power to answer this question quickly and accurately right from your desktop.”
“If you want to consolidate all your financial costing models at the push of a button, reforecast rapidly and have full financial drill-down to your operational costing models, XERAS for Enterprise is the perfect solution for you.”

Competing on Time in Mill Products
Hello Friends,
SAP’s Performance Bench marking group publishes a short analysis each Monday, highlighting hot industry topics and high-impact strategies. This week they have focused on comparing the days in inventory for mill products companies and ways to reduce the critical performance metric.
The analysis boiled down in to following results:
- A key driver in reducing mill products days in inventory is a 360-degree view of the supply chain.
- Mill products organizations that track and manage the alignment of strategic manufacturing objectives and operational activities require on an average 32% fewer days to close annual books.
- Schedules that optimize machine and labor capacity by integrating customer delivery dates with material availability and real-time manufacturing conditions help Mill Products companies reduce the days in inventory by 19%.
- With dynamic and frequently updated forecasts Mill Products companies also can reduce days in inventory by as much as 17%.

Function module to create combination order
Hello Experts,
We are implementing with IS Mill combination order functionality. We wanted to create combination order when a set of original orders are CIFed from APO. The original orders to be combined will be identified using a unique key (We plan to use a unused field in order for that).
How can we achieve this. Can we trigger an exit in CIF on ECC side and call a function module or BAPI to create combination order?. If yes. Which BAPI should we use to create combination order.
Thanks in advance

How 3D Printing enabled with SAP technology can help Mill Product Industries
Hello friends,
In Mill Products industries their products is defined by the characteristics which are mostly provided by the customers.Now think what happens if a company can allow its customer to design its own products using 3D visualization and provide an order based on their own design? I think this can be possible with 3D printing technology or additive manufacturing technology which is emerging technology in manufacturing arena.
Makie's lab Case study (source SAP (Wired UK))
Makie's Lab is a small startup which offers "Makie" a doll created through using 3D printing technology.It offers its cutomers to customise facial features like hair, skin colour and many other factors through its website makie.me and dedicated iPad app.
What happens if Mill products company can able to provide its customer to design their own products using 3D interface and adjust thier product characteristics according to their requirements.This might be possible by using 3D visualisation in combination with variant configuration the data collected by this application goes directly in 3d printer which ultimately produce the product with exact precision that customer wants.
Although I have not much knowledge of this industries but have tried to bring this idea on how this emerging technology can be used more effectively with SAP.
Hope you will find it helpful!
