AFS MRP Run based on Category (Quality Grade-A, Quality Grade-B Etc.)

Hello All,
We have a requirement in AFS MRP Run.
MRP should suggest the replinsment quantities for the higher quality material when there is a deviation in quality.
E.g:
The Customer requirement is 100PC of Quality Grade-A.
But after quality chack, produced quanities are of Quality Grade-A : 90PC and Quality Grade-B : 10 PC.
How to replenish the shortage quanity of Quality Grade-A:10PC.
As the Customer will not accept the Quality Grade-B Product.
Our GR is for 90+10 PC against the Order, there is no scrap also.
How to map this requirement in AFS.
MRP should suggest the replinishment quantities as per the category.
This is a critical issue for us now. Suggestions will be rewarded.
Thaks,
Siva

Dear Siva,
First of all don't show your reward gimmick to get a solutions. As you are aware, we are not here to get a reward / bonus points. We are here to support and help SAP Community.
This scenario can't be mapped directly in Std. SAP R/3 System with best of my knowledge.
Please note that Quality scoring / Grading will come after Goods Receipt in SAP System.
If you want to take care at the time of MRP run, then you have to create separate material / article master codes with your desired characteristics.
Based on your MRP type, system will create demand, I mean Purchase Requisition. This demand you can convert into PO for both Quality Grades.
Based on your usage decision, you can accept desired material Grade and other Grade you can Reject and sent to Vendor.
If you have accepted in first place then if you want to Return back (inferior grade material) then you can use Return PO.
Hope this info will be useful.
Bye,
Muralidhara

How to make MRP run based on Target Safety stock

Dear Experts,
For our MRP-planned materials with safety stock we would like MRP run to take into account target stock level defined for each month.
for example: we know the target stock level values will be for M1 = 1000, M2 = 0, M+3 = 5000 etc.
MRP should then propose orders to replenish up to the target stock level at the end of each month:
needs for current month = (target stock level defined for current month minus safety stock)
needs for M1 = (target stock level defined M1 minus safety stock)
needs for M2 = (target stock level defined for M2 minus safety stock)
etc
Do you know if there is any simple way to achieve this?
Thanks you!
Elynn

Dear Experts,
in my company, we are facing exactly the same issue, we would like the MRP to consider a target stock exaclty as described by Elynn. To be more clear, if we could reproduce the TDSS like in SNP in MRP, we'll be happy !.
We imagine already to manage the target stock level in APO DP and released into ECC6 as a different MRP element than Forecast. this target stock should not be considered as forecast neither consumed by any sales order. Only to force the MRP to generate planned orders to increase the final stock when needed. This is only an idea, we have nothing tested yet.
someone have an idea if there's a standard solution for make this ? I mean, why this fonctionality exist in SNP but not in MRP?
thanks for any help

PR created after MRP run, instead of schedule line

Dear all,
I want to create schedule lines automatically from the planning run, for raw material. I have maintained info record, scheduling agreement, quota arrangements and also the source list.
For the raw material, safety stock of 1000 nos. has been maintained. The current stock of the material is 0.
After MRP run, based on the upper level PIRs, schedule lines are generated properly. But, against the safety stock of 1000, a PR is generated.
I donot want a PR to be generated.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Shrenik
Edited by: Shrenik on Mar 8, 2008 4:17 PM

Dear all,
I checked an found that the schedule agreement date does not have any effect. Even if the requirement date falls outside the date range, i am able to create schedule lines.
I also found that if i maintained GR processing time, then always a PR is created. If GR processing time is 0, then only schedule line is created. Moreover, planned delivery time does not have any effect on the calculations, even if it is 10 days, 20 days or 900 days.
Can someone please clarify all these? How are these times taken into account?
Thanks in advance,

MRP run - misalignment for planned order between Date and Production Date

Hi All,
We've just integrated SAP for a new plant.
The MRP runs based on Routing Lead Time for Make materials instead on Material Master Lead Time, for Capacity Assessment purpose.
When requirements dates lay in the past, MRP performs forward scheduling starting from current date and properly defines Production End Date according to Routing.
By checking MD04, for the proposed Planned Order, the basic date is same as Current Date (= same as Requirement Date) instead of being same as Production Date.
It works as it if checks stil the MAterial MAster LEad time instead of Routing. In fact if I updated the LT of MM the MD04 provides the right Date.
For future requirements, the MRP works properly, by having basic dates (both start and end date) aligned with Production Dates of Planned Order.
How can I do the alignment w/o updating In House Production LT?
Thanks,
D

Hi Caetano,
we have already done this configuration in OPU5 but it doesn't provide any benefit.
Below how we configured it:
Scheduling level: Via detailed scheduling
Adjust dates: adjust basic dates, adjust dep. reqmts to operation date
For capacity scheduling: Always basic dates, dep. reqmts to operation dates
Scheduling type: Backwards.

D.

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.

Order reservation should not get planned in mrp run

Hello friends,
Actually for a finished material i have created one production order by CO01.Because of it for semi finished material system created order reservation.I dont have any stock of semi finished material.Now i want while running the mrp run system should not planned this Order reservation of semifinished material.For these in configuration of availability check (Scope of check T.C OPJJ), I made the settings that system should not consider reservation (i deactivated the tick for include reservation) and for include depend reservation , i selected Donot check.And all these settings i made in checking group 02 and checking rule PP.After doing all these settings than also system is considering the order reservation for semifinished material and generating the planned order for it.
Do i need to do any other configurations?
Thanking you guys in advance.

Hi Jitendra,
Checking Control (OPJJ) has no relation with MRP.It is useful in the case of Plan and Production / Process Order only to find out Missing part.
Now come to MRP again.
You have a choice of only 3 type of stocks to include or exclude them during MRP run while rest of the things like (PO,PR,Reservation etc are consider by default)
Go to OPPQ and after selecting Plant go to Available Stock.You will find that options,
- Stock in Transfer
- Block Stock
- Restricted Stock.
And one more thing Reservation is not a available stock but its one kind requirement and if there is no stock then system will activate the Planning file entry and during next MRP run it will generate Planning proposal also.

Project Based MRP run issue

Hi Friends,
There is one issue reg. Project Based MRP Run as below :
We are running MRP through MD51 (Project based MRP run). For this we are assigning FG material code under respective WBS Element which generates Network reservation with movement type 281Q which is base of MRP run in MD51. After MRP run we get planned order generation and then convert it to Production order and execute Production Order to receive Project Stock after GR.
After receiving Project stock and then selling it through Post Goods Issue through SD cycle, project stock is consumed but network reservation is not getting closed which results in again generation of planned order if MRP is run again.
I need your valuable inputs if we are missing any configuration setting which can set Final issue indicator in reservation while Posting Goods Issue (PGI) in SD because FI indicator checking will only ensure reservation doesnu2019t take part in planning again.
Your earliest reply will be highly appreaciated.
Regards,
Tejas

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply. Actually my issue has got resolved the way suggested by Mario Adler.
Hi Mario,
Thanks for your solution. PGI through Project is working fine for me.
Hi Krishna,
Follow the procedure as suggested by Mario which will resolve your issue.
Once again thank you all for spending your precious time to respond my query.

Change the MRP run fro Reorder Point to Forecast Based.

Dear Experts
My client is a battery manufacturing company, its Semi Finished product is Make-to-Stock and Finished Product is Make-to-Order. Initially the MRP was configured as reorder based and in Material master it was set as VM (Automatic reorder point plng ). But now we need to change the MRP form reorder point to Forecast Based. The rolling forecast of the coming 3 three months is given in Planned Independent requirement (MD61) as version u201800u2019 - REQUIREMENTS PLAN.
We have changed the MRP procedure in Material Master form VM to VV Forecast-based planning of the finished product but unable to get any result means no Automatic PR is getting generated, the we have changed all the materialsu2019 MRP procedure of that Particular BOM to have the required MRP and Automatic PR raise but still no expected result is coming.
I would request you to provide your expert opinion to execute the Forecast Based MRP, what else should I do achieve the Linking between the Rolling Forecast and MRP instead of Reorder point. Should I have to make changes in Material Master (Only on finished product, In house developed/manufactured Product, Raw material etc), any configuration change in MPR and PR . Looking forward for your specialist advice.
Regards
Sony

I have provided the demand in MD61 and make stock level of the material in such a way that it should raise the PR for MRP run but it is not generating any PR. have checked that if I put value in the forecast tab of the material master manually then it is raising the PR but I need the system to pick the value form the demand that I provided in MD61. Is there any configuration related issue to get the values form the demand and generate PR accordingly. Please guide
Should I have to provide 'VV' at the first level of the Material at its master data or at each component of the BOM irrespective of
the components for Semi-Finished (In house production), Raw materials (Procure from the supplier). Please suggest...

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.

Viewing the mrp run output based on mrp groups

Hi, please advise how to view the mrp run result based on mrp groups? also advise how to run mrp on the basis of mrp groups?
thanks.

Hi,
Can you use MRP Controller instead MRP Group. Because you have option to view MRP result by MRP Controller in MD05.
And you can execute MRP based on MRP Contoller by using user exit M61X0001 in MD01.

CONSUMPTION BASED MRP RUN

HI
How to run the mrp run for various materials which belong diiferent stroage locations with the plant.Pl five me transaction.
Eg.
If i have 100items which kept in various storage locations with the plant.But i have to run for mrp for that 100items.
Regards
UMAPATHY.M

Easy solution is define the same MRP controller for all those 100 items in material master.
Than activate the user exit M61X0001 using CMOD and SMOD (take help of developer if you need)
in this user exit enter the code in function module EXIT_SAPMM61X_001
select materials for one MRP controller (specified in user_par)
    WHEN '005'.
      UXPAR = USER_PAR.
      CONDENSE UXPAR.
      WRITE UXPAR+0(3) TO DISPO.
      IF DISPO IS INITIAL.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      IF MT61D-DISPO <> DISPO.
        NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
Than activate the user exit
now in the tcode OMIX enter the 005 in user exit field and description is MRP controller
now run the MD01 with plant and in the user exit key enter 005 and in parameter field enter your MRP controller now execute the transaciton adn it will only run for those material which has mrpp controller you defined here.
This is the best solution for this kind of requirements

After firming planned order, new planned order is generating in MRP run

Hi Experts,
I am using SAP AFS. Planning strategy is 21- MTO with Project settlement. MRP type is PD. Lte size is EX. Procurement type is X.
We are using the production versions. Individual / collective reqmts is 1. Planning time fence is not maintained.
In sap AFS T.Code for MRP run is /n/afs/md02. After receiving the Sales order, MD04 screen gets updated accordingly and I am running the MRP.Planned orders are generated accordingly. I am firming the planned order manually through MD04. The satr mark is also appearing.
My problem starts now. If I am running the MRP again for the same requirements another planned order of the same qty. is getting generated. That means after the second MRP run, I am having two planned orders (one firmed plnd order) and second is the new planned order. My requirement is that MRP should not generate any new Plnd. order / PR's if there is no new Sales order.
The parameters for MRP run are "1" for "Create PR's", '1" for "Plng Mode" and '"1" for "scheduling ".
I have tried in all the possible ways, but of no use. Still new plnd order is generated after firming the 1st plnd. order in MRP run.

Thanks all for your feedback..
@ Vishal
1. Yes, Both Old firmed planned order and newly generated planned order have the same grid value
2. For both the planned orders :
Special Stock is E u2013 Orders on hand,
Consumption is V,
Sales order is the same (As we are using MTO , Strategy 21) and same WBS element.
3. First planned order is not in the assigned tab of MD04. This means that has been allocated to some object. u2013 I didu2019nt got this point. Can u please elaborate?
@ Nikhil
1. Quantity of sales order is not reducing after firming the sales order
2. Account assignment category for both the planned orders is u201CZu201D - Indiv.cust./project
I have made some more observations and found the following differences between the two planned orders
From MD04 , keep the cursor on corresponding planned order
& click on upward arrow ( available on bottom side of the report).
It will show what will be the originating requirements i e. for which requirements this planned order generated.
For Firmed planned order it is taking me to screen u201CPegged Requirements

"Generic" material master in MRP run

Hi
Our business users want to use MRP to manage the stock of materials such as circuit breakers. There are however many manufacturers/types and while a certain specification is required, they would be happy to purchase from a variety of suppliers whose products could be different from one another.
Would it be possible to use MRP to do this, and how could that be achieved?
The process envisaged would be something like this:
Material number xxxxx with MRP settings defined; stock falls beyond prescribed level.
System must generate requisition indicating requirement for circuit breaker in general
Procurement must get quotations from variety of suppliers (as per tender and procurement policy) based on minimum specification.
Quotations received must be evaluated and based on price/quality, the supplier selected and order placed.
Item must be received against specific material number yyyyy for that supplier's circuit breaker.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks and regards, Lara

you can only receive an item which is specified in the purchase order.
if the purchase order has XXXX then you cannot receive YYYY, you have to receive XXXX and then either use a 309 movement to get it to YYYY, or even better using a production order to make YYYY from XXXX.
Further if you plan XXXX and procure YYYY, then this order does not reduce the requirement for XXXX, and the next MRP run will give you again a requisition for XXXX.
