Project MRP

Dear Experts,
I want to clarify one concern, Since we can configure in Projects to create a PR while raising a reservation and further perform Material Availability Check, what is the purpose of performing a Project based MRP Run.
Are there any added advantages of Project based MRP Run or is it issue to serve a different purpose?
Appreciate Your Guidance,
Dileepa.

Thanks Wad and Nitin for your guidance.
Further I have following concern.
Assume we had conduct similar type of projects (Project A, B and C) earlier and there are excess stock lying in these projects (Material-X = Qty 10 in Project A, Qty 2 in Project B, Qty 3 in Project C). We are going to conduct another similar type of Project (Project D). For this project i need Qty 20 from Material-X.
My question is, is there is away to automatically assign these excess stock to Project D. In that case does the MRP RUN should happen at Plant level or Project level? Or is this can be address using another concept other than MRP.
According my understanding these excess stock should be manually transfered to Project D. But in this case after transferring the stock to Project D, only benefit of performing the MRP Run will be to create PR's automatically.
Very Much appreciate your valuable guidance,
Dileepa.

Project MRP - Requirement Grouping in PR

Dear Experts,
Please note that I am attaching two finished goods (Material Type - FERT) in the project through network activity, on two different activity. The delivery time for the two items are different. Requirement date is one month different for the two finished goods.
Requirement Grouping is done through automatic grouping.
Now when I am running MRP system generates seperate planned order for two finished goods for the same raw material as the requirement date is different. If I am keeping the requirement date is same even though it is planned on different network activity system is making only one planned order for the total number of raw material required.
Just one doubt..
Is there any work around to club the requirements of raw material for two finished goods, whose requirement date is different, in one planned order / purchase requisition.
Thanking you.
Best Regards,
Abdul.

PROJECT MRP RUN

Hi all,
During mrp run with md03; Planned orders are created according to respective wbs elements. e.g one planned order will be for wbs 1; second for wbs 2 and so on.
is it possible to club the requirement of all schemes?
Regards
Ramesh Arora

Hi,
Clubbing of Planned order is possible by changing lot sizing procedures. In Material master MRP 1 view which lot size is being used?

MRP In customer Project

Dear Experts,
i am creating a sales order after saving sales oder project will create automatically with the sales order number.
my doubt is MRP runs at sales order level or Project level?
Please clear my doubt with good explaination.

Create a BOM (If it's assembly processing, then you must already have BOM)
Do BOM transfer, CN33.
Go to MD50 for Sales order MRP:
Give your sales order no., sales order item. No need to change anything in MRP Control paramenters. Select "Also plan unchanged components", "Display results before they are saved"
Execute it.
Go to MD51 for Project MRP:
Give your Project defn, WBS element. No need to change anything in MRP Control paramenters. Select "Also plan unchanged components", "Display results before they are saved"

MRP run for Project

Hello Experts,
I want you experts help with regards to the following scenario
This is a construction scenario. In this industry, during the Project estimation stage productivity Norm of the company plays a vital role
For Example
Say for excavation of 1 M3 of Soil following resources are required (this is productivity Norm)
1.     Labour 2 Hours
2.     Excavator 1 Hour
In order to capture this, I have created a Material BOM, with Header Material as EXCAV (Material Type FERT & UOM M3) and Components as LABOUR & EXCAVATOR (Material Type DIEN & UOM Hours).
           EXCAV (Material Type FERT & UOM M3)
LABOUR     EXCAVATOR (Material Type DIEN & UOM Hours)
I have created a project with an activity called EXCAVATION, for which I have assigned the material EXCAV.
I want to generate the requirement for the components LABOUR & EXCAVATOR; hence Im trying to run Project MRP (MD51). But no requirements are getting generated for any material.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance & any suggestions will be rewarded.
Regards
Tanya

Hi Taanya,
When ever components are allocated to the activity in a Network, system creates only reservation for the components. In your case also it should have created reservation.
If so run MD02 for "EXCAV" - (Assumption you have populated the material master with all MRP view and related fields), system should now generate Procurement proposals.
Another check what I would suggest is to check in the Component overview "Res./Purc. Req." field hope this is not populated with value "1". If it was "1" change it to "3" so that reservations are created immediately once the Network is saved.
Hope this helps... you. Reward your points if so,

Delivery from Project for the Assembly: sales order item

Hi,
When I create a sales order lets say for material "A".
And I want to deliver this component from sales order. With Production order.
I have attached the material "A" in Project to an activity with a positive quantity, in MD04 I am unable to see the planned order for that.
Project is released and it has created a order reservation but i am unable to convert it into the Planned order how it can be achieved.
Material is not relevent for the MRP.
Please suggest some solution.

Hi,
Please run project MRP (MD51), selecting option 3 (planned orders) against create P.req. field under MRP control parameters tab.
Planned orders will be created automatically & u can see in MD04 also.
Thanks

Transfer posting of subcontracting stock with mvt type 541 from project stk

Hi,
we run project MRP and the requirement is raised for subcontracting item also ,after converting the PR into PO when I try to transfer post material in MB1B using 541 ,system shows Error Purchase order does not contain any item even I have material in my project stock,what may be the reason?
Regards
Kantha

Hello Kantha,
The components which you provide for a vendor are manged in a vendor-related special stock, O. This stock is updated at plant level, becuase material is actually not in your plant. If you want to provide stock to vendor the avialble stock types in subcontracting are from un restricted use and in quality inspection.
When you provide componets to vendor via transfer posting this needs to go from only unrestricted use stock to the stock of material provide to vendor movement type is 541.
So to execute the transfer posting for the stock of material provided to the vendor, you have to specify special indicator O, if not the transfer posting will not differ from normal transfer posting.
Also T-code MBLB will help you in evaluating the stock of material provided. So you need to transfer the stock from project stock to unrestricted stock to carry out the transfer.

CJIA report and project cash management

Dear all,
please help on the following issue.
i activate FM for project cash managment.
i assign material to the internal activity, release the project, run project MRP and convert the PR to PO.
then i run CJIA report, i can see the PO with value type 51, PO amount 40000.
below is the line item
2009.11.11     WBS I-0001   51     4,000.00-RMB     4,000.00-RMB
i do MIGO for the PO. and check the CJIA report, no change.
i do MIRO for the PO and then check the report, i see the PO (value type 41)value is reduced to 0.
another line with value type 54 appears with the amount 40000.
2009.11.11     WBS I-0001   51                  0RMB                  0RMB
2009.11.11     WBS I-0001   54     4,000.00-RMB     4,000.00-RMB
i think that is correct, because i do the MIRO for the PO.
next, i use F-53 to post the payment for PO. i check the report, no change.
then, i run CJFN to transfer the payment. i check the report again, the line with value type 54 was changed to value type 57.
2009.11.11     WBS I-0001   51                  0RMB                  0RMB
2009.11.11     WBS I-0001   57     4,000.00-RMB     4,000.00-RMB
i am not sure whether it is correct or not. in the report, it seems the balance is not zero. though the value type is changed.
the report looks akward.
can you give me some ideas or suggestions?
thanks a lot
Judy

Hi Judy,
What you have done is correct.
The total of all lines need not be zero as the report lists down the debit/credit side payments viz what we are supposed to pay due to a PR, or a PO or what are the actual payments that we have made. This helps us in planning for cashflows by showing projected or actual payments made/received

Materials for Single wbs Element from project/Plant stock

Hi to all,
I would like to have the following scenarios for the single Project.
1) Some Activities in the single WBS Element will be using the Materials for specific to the Project. So MRP will be generated for the Project and PR,PO,Goods receipt will be done.
2) In the same WBS Element of some activity, wants to consume materials from the Plant stock. For this we donu2019t want to run MRP. From the reservation no, we want to take the materials for project use.
I have a single Network profile and I donu2019t want to create anymore.
Understand from movement type 411, we can take the materials from unrestricted Plant stock to project. Is there any other way/any config I need to check in account assignment category to fulfill the requirement to consume from Plant stock and also to use Project stock in a single profile.
Regards
N.Raju

Hi,
that is the only option, Std. SAP does not support for unrestricted plant stock ( for Project MRP or availability check).
same option-
1) transfer free stock( plant stock) to respective WBSE
2) Run MRP
3) Consume material.

How to distinguish the PRs triggered by the Project

Dear all expert,
could you help me on the following issue?
i create a project in CJ20N, i use internal activity and external activity.
the materials to be procured are assgined to the internal activity, i release the project, run project MRP and the PRs for materials generated.
as for the external activity, i use it to generate the service PR to be procured from outside.
therefore, there are two kinds of PRs in the project.
as far as i know, the PR No are generated automatically.
but i want to find a way to tell they are two kinds PR, for example, from PR No or other way.
can you give me some help on suggestions?
thanks a lot.
Judy

To add to Gokul's Comments, in ME5J if you put item category as D, you will get only service related PRs.
or you can filter for service related PRs after executing the report.

Advance material planning for projects

Dear All,
We have a scenario for fabrication industry. Where client want to plan material procurement in advance for manufacture FG. But BOM of FG will come in later stage when design phase get finished in phases. Initial for cost planning and material procurement planning, they are finding out requirement of material quantities and costing happened on it. This material is planned for procurement, while the BOM will prepared in later design stage. FG are assigned to project activities, and project MRP will give planned orders. these material bom will rolled cost to activities, cost will get doubled and material too. How to handle this scenario, Any standard solution.

Hi Shrikant,
The advance procurement material list should be prepared and then it should be attached in initial stage to project.
Header(X)
Line item 1
Line item 2
This advance procurement BOM should be attached such that
the header(X) will become text item after attachment and
for the line items the Preq will be generated.
For this line item should be make to stock procurement type
and this should behave as dependent and independent requirement
and there will be no duplicacy of the requirements.
You need to dicuss this with PP consultant.

If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.

Q:- If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.
My Business is having many plants with different business
eg :- One Plant (1000)MRP is currently being executed at Project Level MD51
Second Plant (2000) MRP is currently being executed at Plant Level ,
Third Plant (3000) is currently being executed at materail levels only (MD02/MD03)
Issue :-
for our new scenario we need to execute MRP at MRP Area only -- Storage location MRP run
So we would have to activate MRP @ MRP area level , but doing so
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
To convert the planning file entries, you use the report that you trigger in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Convert planning file entries for MRP areas.The system creates a new planning file and MRP areas for the existing plants. These MRP areas, however, do not affect how material requirements are planned. The number of the plant MRP area is identical to the plant number and therefore has four digits.
Preparing for Material Requirements Planning with MRP Areas - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
Can any one provide , what are the drawbacks , if activated at MRP Areas are activated , since it is activated at client level ,
Will it impact my current MRP execution process for other Plants ??( other plants MRP is being executed at Plant MRP /Project MRP / etc,,
Please Reply /Share your comments urgently
Regard's
Tallha

Hello Tallha
The only visible impact is that you will have an extra field on MD04 and another MRP transactions.
If you simply activate MRP areas but don't create MRP areas for the materials, your process will not change and you should be able to continue using MRP as you were using before.
There is a positive impact on the conversion of the planning file may improve the MRP general performance.

PS and PP integration

Dear Experts,
Good Morning....
Please suggest me PS and PP integration customization steps.
Regards
Lallan

PP is not a major player in PS as far as integration is concerned. It is through Material Management that Production Planning is informed of Production Orders using special settings in the Material Master.
One another area, the PP and PM modules share Work Centers with Project System.
The Work Center is needed for Capacity Planning and Planning costs. If we integrate this Work Center with HR module, we will be able to select only the people who have been assigned to the Work Center. We can specify the amount of work the individual will contribute. This forms the basis for capacity planning.
Hope u must have understand.
PS - Process
After creating the project next step is u want to do cost, Revenue & Budget Planning for the project
in the t-codes CJ42, CJ30 & CJ40 respectively. Next step is creating the Sale order in va01 T-code.
But I have internal project scenario, example: Overhauling of DG set. Assigned work enter & Workforce & also material to network. So shall I do costing? As explained! Is it necessary to create of Sales Order?
CMP2 - Assign workforce to activities
CAT2 - Transfer actual time to CATS. In CAT2 we have record the actual timing correct for an activity, on day basis & with personal number.
MD51 - Run Project MRP to create Planned orders.
MD04, ME21N, MIGO - Convert planned orders to purchase requisitions and P.O, and goods receipt.
MB1A - once the goods are brought is project stock; the same needs to be consumed by mb1a -281 Q on the project.
CJ20n - Attach milestones as per the payment terms.
VA02 - Copy billing plan to sales order.
VF01 - Billing
CJ20n - Project tech complete and closure.
Hope this will help you,
Regards,
ANSAR
