Planning file entry and purchase orders

Hi all:
The documentation for MRP planning states that the planning file entry is updated for relevant changes to the material that includes among other things creation of purchase orders for the material.
In our system, MRP requisition creation does update table MDVM as part of the MRP run. However, purchase order creation does not update the planning file entry, even though the documentation says it should.
Anyone ever encounter this? Are there controls that need to be set?
thanks in advance
weston

Not sure where you had read that a Purchase order creation updates the PFE. Have a look at this.

  • Issue in Planning file entry creation for materials

    Hi all,
    There are some materials for which there are no planning file entries inspite of having MRP data and valid MRP type.
    The reason (1) could be that those materials might have been created before MRP was activated for that plant. Another reason (2)is that materials created by certain batch SAP programs do not trigger the creation of a planning file entry automatically, the way a MM01 normally does when you create a material. Otherwise when a material is created with MRP data & valid MRP type, the material will be automatically included in the Planning File.
    Please let me know whether my understanding on the above( reason no.1 & 2) is valid or not. Is there any SAP / OSS document / SAP help related to this information on reason (2) that you can share with us? If you could share any link of any such document, it will be really helpful.
    Thanks a lot,
    Regards
    Brijesh

    Dear,
    Reason could be
    System will maintain the Planning File Entry Automatically once MRP is activated for particular Plant (T.Code OMDU).But if Materials are created Before this activation then you have to do manual entry of those Materials in Planning File using T.Code MD20 or using Background job MDBT.
    If you create the materials or upload materials before activation plant for MRP this may be the cause for this.
    Go to OMDU here is tick mark for plant activation for MRP if you activated after material master creation then system will not create planning file entry for these material.
    In my case every thing was maintained than also no planned order generated? Pls put some more fact on this.
    Before running MRP we used to run MDRE. But in the result spool list there is no content
    Create the variant and run it in Back ground
    For this you need to you need to create the variant for planning file entry and its consistence check in OMDU and execute it to avoid such type of issue.
    Hope clear to you.

  • Updation of  the indicators of NETCH & NETPL in Planning File entry(MD21)

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me when the indicators-NETCH & NETPL will be updated in Planning File entry table(tcode-MD21) for a material in a specific plant .
    Actually, we observed that these indicators are updated only when we do Goods Issue through backflush during Production order confirmation. If i do goods delivery using tcode-VL01N(mtype 601), these indicators are not updated in planning file entries.Can anyone suggest me what could be the reason for this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Please read below information.
    "The planning file record for a material also has a u201C_net change planning in the current horizonu201D field which will be set if the change in the materials receipt or issue_ element is valid in the planning horizon. This indicator will help you choose only those materials which have undergone a change in the planning horizon; through the use of a planning key, in an MRP run, called u201CNet change planning in the planning horizonu201D.
    Go to below link to understand more. It may solve your problem.

  • Use of Planning File Entry

    Hi,
      what is the use of planning file entry and when it will be generated?
    - Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    Planning file extry will be created or executed by system to
    the objects (location products) which undergo planning run.
    ie Whenever a location product undergoes demand or supply
    relevant changes, during planning run for system to plan, a
    planning file entry will be marked by system which will be
    used as basis for planning.
    This will be used in cases where network heuristics kind of
    runs will be executed

  • No Planning file entry when materials received against production order

    Hi,
    Planning file entry is not getting created when I receive material from a Purchase order where account assignment category is 'F' - Order. In other words, the material is received against a Production Order.
    We run MRP automatically through MD01 and it will not run for the material as there are no planning file entries.
    MRP List MD06 shows the purchase requisition and the production order even though the production order requirement has been met.
    Please help me out with this issue. I really appreciate the help the community members have given me earlier regarding my questions related with the planning file.
    Sincerely,
    Ketan

    Hi Dhaval,
    1st Scenario
    When I receive material through a Purchase order and receive it into stock, then MRP is able to run because planning file entries are created when I receive the material and clear out the MRP list as the requirements have been met.
    2nd Scenario
    When I receive material through a Purchase order and directly against a Production order (Direct Procurement) , then MRP is not able to run as planning file entries have not been created even if the requirements have been met.
    How can I prevent the 2nd scenario in future where production order and purchase requisition exist in the MRP List but since the material has been received against a production order therefore MRP will not run and clear out the MRP List?
    Sincerely,
    Ketan

  • No Planning file entry created  for the Rervation

    Hi PM Gurus,
    When we create a maintenance order, for the component the Reservation is created. The components is externally procured with the some planned delivery dates. but during the MRP run these Planned Orders are not converted to PReqs automatically. checking the planning file entry there in no planning file entry created therefore MRP has not considered it.
    Now we are using MD15 to collectively convert the Planned Orders to PReqs.
    The Item category of these spare parts are "L". Please suggest if what configurations are to be checked, maintained in order for MRP generate the PReqs from the Planned Orders.
    Thanks,
    Nag

    Hi,
    MRP does not convert planned orders into purchase requisitions. MRP creates one of the procurement proposals, planned orders or purchase requisitions, according to the parameters you run it. Check out the parameters of your MRP run, you need to select create purchase requisitions and delete old procurement proposals to fulfill your requirement.
    Regards.

  • Planning File Entry has Reset Procurement Proposal field marked

    Dear Sir,
    We are facing a problem that in the Planning File Entry , the  Material  has "Reset Procurement Proposal " field marked as "X" automatically .  We desire that this fileld should be blank as a default .
    Kindly help us on this issue pl .

    sonia agarwala

    Dear ,
    Basically ,when this indicator is set then the planned orders and purchase requisitions created by the systeem in the pre MRP run are deleted and recreated.
    You can also control this from the MRP run transaction MD01, MD02, MD50. The same could be set in the planning files also. So even if you do not set it during running the transaction the planned orders and PRs will be deleted and recreated based on the  following fields are changed.
    1. In house production time.
    2.MRP Controller
    3. Schedule Margin Key.
    4.Planned delivery time.
    After making changes to the above mentioned fileds you can see the planning mode 3 Reset Order Proposals indicator in MD21.
    So if you do not want this , then select  Planning Mode Indicator -1 OR 2   in any MRP run like MD01/MD02/MDBT /MD03.
    Planning Mode -1-Adop Normal Planning
    Planning Mode -2-Reexplode BOM and Routing
    Hope this is clear

  • Planning File entry is missing

    Hi Friends,
    I have issues of planning file missing for material from Sales Order. We are using Reorder point planning(ZM) and new Item Category YP19 and No Production involved. I have followign questions.
    1. Is Strategy make to order is to be defined in material Master when production is not there ?
    2. MDAB / MD20 is mandatory to run every day to get planning file entry ?
    3. I nconfiguration in sales distribution, Basic Function, Avaliability check and Transfer requirement, Transfer Requirement, Determination of Requirement types using Transaction, I am not finding the new MRP type, New Item category combination with Requirement type. is this reason for not creating Planing file entry. If so how to configure new Item categorya nd New MRP type in this configuration.
    Please confirm to fix the issues.
    Rgds
    Madhavan

    Dear ,
    Please find the answer of your query :
    1. Is Strategy make to order is to be defined in material Master when production is not there ?
        Not really .You can use Planning Startgey 40 in this case .Basically , MTO means for all FG and SFG you will use 20 and dependent you will either keep 10 or blank .
    2. MDAB / MD20 is mandatory to run every day to get planning file entry ? : If you have new materials created  which have not under gone any MRP run so far , in that case you need to run MDAB/MD20 and carry out consistency check of the planning file MDRE.When ever you have new item created , it should have planning file entry .But when you run MRP , automatically , this planning file entry happens with Processing Key NEUPL.Please note that the PLanning file entry will be reset once the MRP is run. So you will not have an entry. When any change relavant to MRP is done the planning file netry is created automatically. You should then check the planning file before running the MRP.So it is always better to have Planning File Consuistency check before MRP run .
    MD20 -- for singal material
    MDAB -- Planing file entry in Background
    MDRE -- check u r planing file entry here
    3. I nconfiguration in sales distribution, Basic Function, Avaliability check and Transfer requirement, Transfer Requirement, Determination of Requirement types using Transaction, I am not finding the new MRP type, New Item category combination with Requirement type. is this reason for not creating Planing file entry. If so how to configure new Item categorya nd New MRP type in this configuration :
    I do not think there is a relation between MRP type  configuration with Requirement Type from SD.Basically requirement type linked with Planning Startgey Group to link wether we need to consider Customer Requirement or Customer Indepedent requirement with subsequenet set up copied from SD ( Accouting , Requirement Trasfer  etc ) .
    More oever , you are going to deal with ROP where , procureme nt proposal will triggered once availabity comes down reorder level ( either manul or forecast base automatica ROP)  based on fixed recipet -PO,STO,Current stock and Demand -PIR,Sales Order.Now in your case , if you want to consider , Sales Order requirement , then it depnds on your re-order level  and available stock .If the Re-order qty more than Sales Order qty , then it will trigger only ROP qty as PR .I think you need to test this scinario with stadars ROP MRP type in sand box  and let us knwo your exat requirement in Question 3 .
    Hope this is clear

  • MRP Run - Planning file entry Issue

    Dear All,
    We are facing one problem in MRP Run. We run MRP in the background for a plant (MDBT) System is not creating planned order for few component. I have checked all relevant setting. I found that planning file entry is missing. I would like to know that how system can miss the material? How system creates & delete planning file entry ? I have some data related to this.
    Last MRP run date is 22-04-09
    PIR changed date on 30-04-09
    MDRE Run on the 30-.4-09 at night.
    MRP Run on 02-05-09 at night.
    Problem reported that no planned order for the material on 07-05-09.
    We have huge number of material so its difficult to check all material individually whether MRP run happend or not ?
    Please let me know the possible reason for this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Kundan Kumar

    Dear,
    If you carte materaial or uplod materail before activation plant for MRP this may be the cause for this.
    Planning File creates all the materials relevant for the planning run.
    The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which planning run) are controlled by the planning file.
    For planning file entry use the following transactions,
    MD20 : Create planning file entry
    MD21 : Display planning file entry
    MDAB : Set up planning file entry in background
    MDRE : Check planning file entry Please run this in it will solve your problem
    All materials assigned with MRP are automatically entered in planning file entry.
    Depends on changes in material planning or in proposal , system will create planning file entry.
    When MRP run system will consider only which materials having entry in above contents of planning file entry. After MRP run system delete the planning file entry. And again material gone the changes like GI GR on any other demand  then system generate planning file enty again.
    Hope it will help you to understand basic concept.

  • No planning file entry for safety stock

    hello!
    i do not have a planning file entry for safety stock. my material has required safety stock and no quantity on plant stock. therefore MD01 should create a purchase requisition - but is does not. i do not have an entry in the planning file as well.
    any ideas what could be the reason?
    thanks!
    matthias

    Hi,
    - First of all check whether MRP is activated or not for Perticuller Plant.T.code is OMDU.
    - Which MRP type is maintained for that material?
    - In rare cases (Materials uploaded by LSMW using Badi) it is observed that system miss to make the entry in Planing File.So better will be set a Back Ground job to activate Planing file OMD0 or make manual entry using T.code MD20.

  • Planning File Entry in case of MD51

    Hi,
    While we run MRP through MD51, Planning file entries are not getting updated.
    Means, In the planning file entries "X" indicator remains there. Actually it should be removed after MRP run.
    Is it a problem or standard behaviour?
    If it's SAP standard behaviour then what is the logic behind it?

    Hi,
    Then what is the role of Strategy Group.
    Let's assume a scenario where by a single material is assigned a srategy group combining MTS & MTO strategies (instead of MTS & Project).
    For such material if Independent demand exist under MTS & Sales order exist under MTO then how planning file entry will behave in MRP run?
    At last if we accept that there is no role of planning file in case of Project base planning. Then can we also say that, all materials will be considered irrespective of checking planning file scope in each MRP run (MD51).

  • Planning file Entries

    Hi Friends
    When is a Planning File Entry is Created?? During the creation of Material master?? We have uploaded the material Master and found that there are few materials for which Planning File Entries are not createdu2026.. How can we overcome this??  Do we have to create the planning file entries using MD20??
    Is there any views which are required for Planning file entry Creation?? Like MRP 1 u2013 4 Views should be there for Planning File entry Creations??
    Please get back to me on the above.
    Jade

    Dear,
    All materials assigned with MRP are automatically entered in planning file entry.
    Depends on changes in material planning or in proposal , system will create planning file entry.
    When MRP run system will consider only which materials having entry in above contents of planning file entry.
    If the materials is created before activating planning file for plant, you must generate planning file entry for all material by tcode MDAB.
    T-Code :
    MD20 Create planning file entry
    MD21 Display planning file entry
    MDAB Set up planning file entry in background
    MDRE Check planning file entry
    For the first time (just before Go-live), it is advisable to create the Planning file entries mnually and execute the MRP.. This is to reduce the inconsistencies..
    But, system will automatically Creates the Planning File entry, if the Material is relevnt for planning.
    First time MRP Run with NEUPL will not consider the planning file entries..
    So, after that every thing will be stream lined.
    In rare cases systm may miss the entering the Material details in the Planning file

  • MRP AREA NETCH indicator missing in planning file entry

    Hi,
    MRP has been activated at MRP area level storage location level and there were no planning file entries for some materials because we were using the LSMW program RMDATIND for uploading the materials and there was no update flag for Planning File entries. Later we have updated the Direct input session with update Flag.
    I already ran the MDAB and MDRE so by the missing planning file entries.
    We are running the background job RMMRP000 for the MRP. There are some materials which are not being planned in the background job. When i run the MRP for the same materials in MD02/MD03, the procurement proposals are being created using MD02/MD03.
    I checked in MD21, we can see the Planning file entries then there no indicator for NETCH.
    What could be the reason?

  • Inconsistency in Planning file entry

    Hi Experts,
    Planning file entry is maintained for few set of materials.The issue is that the planning file entry for few materials have been deleted.How can I find for which all materials the planning file entry is deleted.
    Also we have a program RMMDVM10 running on weekly basis.But no planning file inconsistency for the materials is reported in the spool of this program.How can the deleted planning file entires for the materials be set automatically again?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ameya Khanwalkar

    Dear Ameya,
    Planning File entries can be set manually for each material or using a batch job using T.Code MD20/MDAB.
    Consistency check for the planning file: Since the entries in the planning file are permanent, you must check their MRP
    relevancy regularly. If, for example, a plant is subsequently excluded from material requirements planning, its materials will still
    be included in the planning file. The same applies for materials that are subsequently flagged with the MRP type No MRP and are
    thus excluded from MRP. In such cases, you should delete the entries in the planning file.
    The same can checked by running the batch job through scheduling it in T.Code MDRE.
