Implications of Item Category in BOM during MRP run

what are the different implications on the MRP run if an item is maintained as "L" for stock, "N" for non-stock, "T" for text item, etc?
how shall it affect the procurement and production process?

Dear
Stock item L
This item category is used to manage material data that allows an item to be kept in stock.If you want to enter a material that is kept in stock as a component, select this item category
Non Stock item N
This item category is used to manage material data that does not allow an item to be kept in stock.
Use this item category if you want to enter a material that is not kept in stock before use, and that is only procured for a specific planned order or production order.

  • Materials planning for Recursive BOM during  MRP run

    SAP Guru's,
    We developed an recursive BOM as per production  requirments , but we didn't know the impact of this recursive BOM during MRP run.
    Pls help us how to recursive bom behaves during MRP.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    This message was sent to us by SAP when we were having the same kind of requirement. Hope it will help you too.
    Usage Probability
    Material requirements planning (MRP) plans the alternative items according to usage probability.
    If you use the usage probability to determine the withdrawal posting (strategy 1), the quantities are proposed according to the usage probability. You can change the proposed quantities.
    An alternative item is only planned if the usage probability is at least 1%.
    If the usage probability is 0%, a dependent requirement with quantity
    0 is generated for the material.
    The component with the quantity 0 is displayed in the planned order.
    If required you can increase the quantity there.
    It is possible to plan too much for alternative items, because you can enter usage probabilities that add up to more than 100%.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Alternae BOM during MRP RUN

    Dear PP Gurus,
    I have a finished product for which there are 2 bom,  When I  run MRP for this finished product , which BOM system will consider? Is  there anyway by which  i can deicde which BOM it  should consider?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Dear,
    If a product contains more than one alternative BOM,try to mention this by creating different prod.versions.
    You can assigne the production version in MD61 against the PIR's under schedule line tab key (in the top menu click on settings and prod version ,then you can assign the prod version which you need to pick during the MRP run),
    Also selection method is maintained in Material master MRP4 view.whether the BOM needs to be selected through BOM Qty. Explosion date or Production version....
    Or use  BAdI MD_MODIFY_PRODVERS.
    Also refer this thread,

  • Change item category of BOM component

    Hi,
    Our user wanted to change the item category for BOM components through transaction IB12 using LSMW.Wanted to confirm whether it is possible to change item categoryof BOM component from "N" to "L" through LSMW.What exactly will be effected because of this change?And the steps to change the item category from "N" to "L" for the list of BOM component using LSMW.
    Request your valuable thoughts.
    Thank you in advance,
    Regards,
    Rubina Rahman

    Hi Rubina,
    N is non stock item
    L is stock item
    You have to make sure why the business warants to chnage the item category.
    To answer the question:
    It is possible to chnage the item category from "N" to "L" through LSMW (Provided depends on the number of components used in a BOM. If the number of items exceeds to multiple screen, then you have to think of developing BDC)
    The effect will be: with item category "N" if the material is used in the order, based on the configuration the system shall automatically trigger the purchase requisition. With item category "L" it is assumed as stock is available and taken care by MRP program.
    Suppose if it is material BOM:
              A. Use T.code: CS02 in LSMW recording
              B.  Provide information like Material number, Plant, BOM usage
              C. In the item level change the item category from N to L
              D. Save the recording
              E. I hope you know the remaining LSMW process steps
    Cheers,

  • Alternative items during MRP run

    Hi,
       I have seen discussion on alternative items in BOM. Thanks for all for sharing your knowledge. I knew alternative items will be choosen while creating / release of production order (material availability check)
    Requirement:
          For material A, I am using component B as priority 1 and component C as priority 2.
    During MRP run, system needs to CHECK component B first. If stock is not available for component B then system need to consider component C automatically. It should not create any planned order for component B.
    Is it possible, system will check automatically alternate items during MRP run? if so kindly let me know the logic.
    If not, is there is any user exit. Customer is asking this facility. Its his basic requirement.
    Kindly give your suggestions....
    Regards / US

    Hi.
    I might have typed it wrong, I think the right one is called DIMP.
    As far as I know you don't have to purchase it. In the past those extensions were known as Industry Solutions, in this case Automotive and A&D.
    Before you go to this complexity for interchangeable materials functionality in MRP, I recommend that you have a design review with your customer, to strengthen the point that if two materials are the same for all usage purposes, but only differ, let's say, in the source (different manufacturer). for that in SAP we would define ONLY ONE material number, with additional manufacturer part number info, and in some cases with a classified batch.

  • Dependencies on "Ku0094 item category on BOM

    Hi
    I need a configurable material where BOM components have to be chosen from characteristic values, so I thought I could use 200 class on BOM to make it easier, but I need to control component quantity and component measure unit too.
    I had tried to change those data from BOM adding a procedure on the “K” item category on BOM, but I hadn’t had success, I don’t know if it’s not possible to put that kind of dependencies on “K” items .
    Is that possible?, I haven’t any problem if item category is “L” (using selection conditions instead 200 class type and “K” item categories), system works properly.
    Thanks!
    Carlos.

    Go to SE11 type your table LIPS, enter and then press Ctl + Shift + F10, it will take you to selection screen,
    in that you can type the desired item cat in the field PSTYV.
    here is your report of Del doc no according to item cat.

  • Selection of BOM During MRP

    Dear All,
    I have three alternatives of BOM.The lot size and the validity period for all the boms is same.Now during MRP Run the system only selects the first alternative and plans the depending materials of that BOM.
    I want to set the system in such a way that i can able to select any alternative of bom and carry out the MRP Run.
    Please help me ..
    Regards
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    With same valid From & To Date and Same Lot Size,
    In this case system will select first BOM alternative.
    If you want to choose a particular BOM then go for  production version ,assuming that u r not willing to change the lot size or valid from & to date,then u lock the production versions which you dont want to show to the system before running MRP except the one which u r willing to choose.
    We cant choose manually the prod.version during MRP.
    Assuming that in MRP4 view of FERT material u have given option 2 in BOM slection method.
    The other way is u manitain different lot size and acccordingly the production version will be selected by the system.
    I hope it will help you.

  • BOM selection during MRP running

    Hi,
       I have a question about BOM selection during MRP running...
       I have three production version and all of them are valid at the same time..I get a problem "no BOM data seletion" during MRP
    running..I suspect it is due to that I have three production version and MRP didn't know take which one..Can anyone tell me
    where can i config it or what's wrong with it in my situation?
       btw,BOM usage and stats are correct .so is the router data..since MRP is running well if i only have one PV..thanks..

    Hi Monst,
    Looking at the screenshots you uploaded, it seems that the validity of each of the production version is from 7.12.2011 to 1.12.2012.
    Please check whether for Planned order no. 36659 alternative BOM no. 1 is getting selected (Since BOM selection ID is 2).
    For planned order nos. 36660, 36661 and 36662, the start date is perhaps before 7.12.2011 and end date as we can see lies in the validity period of production version. Hence, neither of the alternatives of the BOM is getting selected.
    For verifying the above logic, please make the BOM selection method as 3 (selection only by production version) and run the MRP. I think MRP will get terminated in this case since no BOM will be chosen for first planned order.
    Just in case u need to select the BOM for planned orders, you can manually enter the production version no. in the planned order change mode.
    Please tell if this helps and revert back.
    Regards,
    Chetan.

  • PR Split during MRP run in MD02

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to split the PR during MRP run based on entries maintained in one Ztable - Customer wise quantity allocation.
    Scenario is as below:
    Forecast planning happening in APO and monthwise requirement is getting updated in MD61 for a particular material. Based on that during MRP run system is creating the PR form net requirement and we are converting that PR to PO for external procurement. What ever quantity we will procure, that need to be drop ship to different customers directly from supplier. As of now we are handling this manually by splitting the PO line item for each customer requirement.
    Now client come with requirement, Splitting should happen automatically during MRP itself and there will not be any manual intervention in PO. For that they will maintain the customer allocation in a ztable, Based on that while creating the PR for net requirement during MRP run system should split the PR for each customer quantity.
    We tried with below User exit and BADI in MD02 but unable split the PR.
    MD_MRP_LIST
    MD_PURREQ_CHANGE
    MD_PURREQ_POST
    MD_PURREQ_REL_STRAT
    EXIT_SAPMM61X_001
    If any one has done such enhancement in MRP please let me know Or suggest the way to get this.
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards,
    Ranjan

    Hello Ranjan
    As far as I know, this is not possible on MRP.
    The standard BAdI to change purchase requisitions is MD_PURREQ_CHANGE and you can even change the quantity (it is not recommended, but it's possible), however, you cannot create a new purchase requisition with the remaining quantity. Calling a BAPI to create purchase requisitions from the BAdI may be possible, however, I would not recommend it, as the context and the internal variables may be changed.
    Maybe it's easier to create a custom program to split the purchase requisitions created by MRP according to your logic, to be executed just after MRP. You could use BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE  and BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE to change the purchase requisitions created by MRP.

  • Consideration of stock of discontinued FG or trading material during MRP Run

    There is an functionality of follow up material for component. I would like to know if there is any similar option available for finished goods or trading materials.
    I am doing procurement planning for externally procured Trading materials. Now my previous material A is being replaced by material B. Therefore all the planned independent requirement is available in system only for B. But still there is some stock available for material A. How can it be considered during MRP run for material B.
    Example,
    Material A:
    On Hand Stock = 100
    Planned Independent Req. = 0
    Material B:
    On Hand Stock = 300
    Planned Independent Req. = 1000
    In this case if we run MRP for material B, how we ask system to plan Purchase Requisitions for 600 instead of 700 for material B, considering stock of material A.

    Hello
    Please refer to the following SAP note:
    43636 - Discontinued parts
    This note provides a detailed explanation of the system standard design of the usage of discontinued parts with material requiremenst planning and the most common questions about this issue.
    The following information is provided on this note regarding the PIRs:
    2. Planned independent requirements and forecast requirements are not redirected.
                  Explanation: Planned independent requirements after the effective-out date are not redirected but are provided with an exception message in the MRP list stating that they cannot be included in the availability check. Planned independent requirements and forecast requirements are therefore displayed in the MRP list and in the stock/requirements list. However, they do not influence planning

  • Schedule lines are not getting generated during MRP Run

    Schedule lines are not getting generated during MRP Run. I have maiantained source list for the material with proper validity date and also maintained scheduling agreement . MRP relevvant Indicator , I have marked - 2 which means -Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
    Still I am not able to get schedule lines and instead of that *Purchase Requisitions* are getting generated.
    Can any one help me and suggest me what to be done in this case .
    Thanks & Regards ,

    Dear,
    Welcome to SDN,
    In transaction OMDT you have to enable the indicator create schedule lines
    In MD02 MRP control Prameter here select the Delivery schedules -3- Schedule line. Processing Key as NETCH and Planning Mode - 3 delted and recreated.
    Maintain source list ME01, in that put MRP indicator as '2' i.e. schedule lines via MRP.Put your agreement no in that.
    If u run MRP properly u will get schedule lines automatically in ME38.
    Make the schedule agreement, make it source relevent in the source list make is FIX and MRP indicator as 3.

  • Storage location consideration during MRP Run

    Hi All,
    Within a company code, i am having 2 plants namely PS12 & PS13. In plant PS12, i am  three storage locations namely 1201, 1202,1203. Similarly in plant PS13, i am having stores 1301,1302,1303.
    During MRP run, i do not want to consider the stock in all the storage locations of PS12. The storage location 1203 to be exclued during MRP run. How to set this?
    Your input will be appreciated very much,
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    Goto SPRO>Production>Planning>Define Storage Location MRP per plant, add the storage location to be ignored during MRP and select indicator '1' against it. Thereafter, all the materials created with this storage location will be defaulted with value '1' in the field 'SLoc MRP indicator'. However this can be modified later if required.
    For existing materials, select indicator '1' in the field 'SLoc MRP indicator' avaialble in MRP view under the column 'Storage location MRP'. Go for a mass update for a huge list of materials.
    Check this and revert for any clarifications.

  • Intercompant STO working during MRP run.

    Dear Experts,
    How intercompany stock transfer works during MRP run?
    I mean if one company is purchaser and other is vendor and purchaser company's planned delivery time is 10 days and replenishment time in other company is 3 day then will system consider these two times in creating purchase requisition in first plant ( in MD04)?
    Regards
    Deepak Sharma
    9818263889

    Hi,
    Say your purchaser is plant A, vendor is plant B. STO can make by spl.procurement key 40 in MRP2 view in plant A.
    If you create requirement in plant A, system will create planed order for that material.In plant A, system will consider only planned delivery time of 10 days.
    In plant B, system will create dep requirement. suppose if stock is not available that time system will consider to replinishment the material as 3 days.
    This 3 days will not consider in Plant A.

  • Cheracteristic consideration during MRP run

    Dear frnds,
    during implementation for one steel industry i have stuck up in problem which is
    they have crm plant in which finished products are endless depending upon thickness like .023,.325
    if we make material master for every thickness then it will infinite number of material master.
    so we thinking for single material master group of thickness i.e for single mmr for range of thickness and during sales order creation person will mention actual thickness in text of sales order or we can make it configurable and characteristic for actual thickness so during he will mention actual thickness in characteristic value.
    but problem is that during mrp run, characteristic value is not taking into consideration,
    so i want some customization so that characteristic value is considered during mrp run
    please help me out its very urgent
    thanks

    Hello,
    are you talking about a pure ERP implementation? A good description on modelling this with APO can be found in the Best Practice for Primary Steel (see link on BPX Mining and Metal).
    Usually we work with configurable material variants, as a starting point.
    Best regards,

  • During MRP run unwanted plant and storage location include and exclude

    Hi There,
    During MRP run how to include and exclude the unwanted plant and storage location pls let me know the required configuration settings.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    To control whether a particular storage location will be included or excluded from the MRP run.  (MD02/MD41).
    To exclude it from MRP run :-
    OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
    Put the MRP ind. as.         1 - storage location stock excluded for MRP
    To include it from MRP run:-
    OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
    Put the MRP ind. as.      space - storage location stock also planned at plant level and save it
    Next go to transaction MM01 - tick only view MRP 2
    Key in Plant and Storage Location
    Look at the Storage Location MRP section
    change the SLoc MRP indicator to space  and save it
    MMD1 - Create MRP Profile - MRP profile is a useful entry aid and makes it easier to manage MRP data.
    You define which fields are filled with values when MRP data is entered in the material master record, which of these values can be overwritten and which not.   You use the information stored in a profile is standard information that is needed again and again in similar constellations when material master records are maintained.
