Does material status control MRP running?

Hi experts
May I just check if material status could conrol the MRP running? LIke we setup some parts as Y0- obsolete. but we found it still could generate Pr or Plan order....
So does material status control the MRP running? Could we let obsolete part not run by MRP?
Thanks
Alice

Hi,
In addition to Mr.Brahmankar mentioned ways, you can exclude material from MRP run by selecting Procurement Type as No Procurement in MRP-2 View in Material Master.
Also you can select X-plant / Plant specific Material status as :
01 Blocked for procment/whse to block materila from MRP run.
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt.

Excluding PO from MRP Run

Dear All,
I have one requirement that i want to exclude one PO document type( Developements PO) From MRP Run. How can i do this.
Kindly Help
Regards
Sunil

Hi,
My scenario is that when a new vendor is developed for Procurement of a existing material then at first Developement Purchase Order is raised against that vendor. After finalisation of vendor standard PO is raised against that vendor. For a material which is being Procured from some vendor there will be Regular Purchase Order, now i need more vendor for that Material then I will raise Developement PO against those vendor, then on Finalisation of vendor i will start raising regular PO for that vendor. In MRP run this Developement PO quantity should not be considered as receipt element

MRP Run in an excluded Storage Location

Hello all. I have this situation.
I have material X with two storage locations: SL01 and SL02. Storage location SL01 has 15 pieces and SL02 has 5 pieces. In MD04, I can see a total of 20 pieces under the "Stock" MRP Element.
Material X also has five Order Reservations (OrdRes), for 5 pieces each. These Order Reservations are assigned to Storage Location SL02, because stock is procured from there.
What I want is to have the "Stock" line only show me the stock of SL01 (Stock = 15 pieces). I want SAP to "ignore" whatever it has in SL02 and only consider the stock in SL01, so MRP Run would give a proposal of 5 pieces.
I tried deactivating SL02 in Material Master MRP4 for material X, but then the MRP Run doesn't generate any proposals because my reservations are in SL02, and it's deactivated. Even if my Availability Check is set not to look at "storage location", if I the requirement is in SL02, it won't propose anything.
Is there any other solution to my problem? How can I have the system ignore the stock in SL02, but still propose those 5 pieces I'm missing in SL01?

Sorry, but your logic is not clear to me...
your stock:
5 pcs (SL02) + 15 (SL01) = 20 pcs
your requirements
5 x 5 pcs (SL02) = 25 pcs
Procurment proposal (w/o excluding SLoc):
20 pcs (stock) - 25 pcs (requirements) = -5 pcs > procurement proposal 5 pcs
You are saying:

So, you can see MRP will give a procurement proposal of 5 pcs without any SLoc exclusion...
Please clarify your requirement / business process. Why don't you want to consider the stock in Sloc2? What is your process?
You can see that you cannot exclude a SLoc with Sloc MRP and still consider the requirements relevant to that SLoc (unless you use reorder point planning in that SLoc).

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,
Shrenik

PIR creation & MRP run

I hav a FERT material, it's BOM contains HALB & ROH material. After PIR creation & MRP run my client wants to material requirement planning only needed for FERT material.
Currently it's planning for all material in BOM as per the std SAP.
kindly give me a sol'n for this

Hi,
With MD03 you ca execute Planning at Single Material single level.
Do not run MD01.MDBT & MD02.
One suggestion would be why not to consider MPS Concept fo the FERT?

Schedule lines are not coming after MRP run for HALB material

Dear All,
I am not getting schedule line after mrp run, inspite of all required setting only purchase requisitions are coming.
Material type is HALB and involve a subcontracting process (30). For raw material I am getting the schedule line but in the case of HALB, it is not coming.
Pls let me know if I am missing something and guide me further on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear All,
I am closing this thread. As the vendor mentioned in scheduling agreement is not a subcontracting vendor. Its a individual vendor.
Thanks for all the reply.

Vendor not assigned to PR when doing a MRP run

I am doing an MRP run for creating purchase requistions
However the vendor is not getting assigned to the PR.
I have the vendor defined in the source list (made it fixed) and also created info record.
However when i run the MRP the PR is created but the vendor is not assigned to the PR.
Also how can create the PO automatically from the MRP ?
Also where can i see the time frame setting for Processing PR to PO?
Thanks

Dears,
I'm faced to the same kind of problem...
The process is an inter-company PR.
The MRP of our plant creates PR for the other plant, these PR are type "MFS" (because of customizing with the tcode OPPR, in order to manage MRP group in the material sheet MRP1)
We have maintained the info-record and the source list, and the extra-purchasing view of the vendor (the plant we send the PR).
When we launch the MRP, the systems creates the PR and we get them in the dynamical status of stock (tcode MD04). In this list, the vendor well appears on the rigth of the screen. So, it seems that the source list is well managed
BUT, when we have a look into the PR (tcode ME53N), the vendor doesn't appear in the source list sheet. :-((
Please, tell me what could be the reason of this stange fact ? (the field is not invisble customized...)
FYI, we get the same result with material without MRP group, and PR type NB
Thanks for your support,
BR,
Tony

Vendor determination in PReq During MRP Run

Hello Expert,
I am doing a MRP run through MD02 and an PReq is getting created automatically. During that time the vendor getting is determined automatically.
Can any one tell where this Vendor determination is happening automatically.
Because i have requirement to get the info record also for the PR.
So if you can tell me that where the Fixed vendor is determining i can do the reserach on the same.
Thanks in advance,
Suresh

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.

Secondary packing material procurement through MRP Run

Hi
Is it possible to procure Secondary packing material through MRP Run. Material type of Secondary packing material is VERP. In MRP view we defined MRP type as VB and reorder point also set.

Hi
the MRP run would create a procurement proposal if the stock has fallen below the re-order point. The procurement proposal needs to be a purchase requisition if procurement should start immediately (see Creation indicators for the MRP group). Further, you need to set the "automatic purchase order" indicator both on the material (purchasing view) and on the vendor. In the MRP run, the system also needs to be able to assign a vendor (i.e. through a source list). Then a purchase requisition is automatically converted into a purchase order on creation.
Good luck

Discontinuation Material in MRP run

Hi,
In our scenario, we are using Discontinued parts with (Discontinuation Ind - 1, Effectivity-out date - Nil) with follow-up material in MRP4 view of MM.
It is observed that whenever there is no sufficient stock exist, dependant requirement is not transferred to the follow-up material during MRP run. However is the same is happening during Material Availability check.
Is there any IMG setting for this to happen during MRP run also.
Thanks in advance.
Parthasarathy P

Hi ,Parthasarathy,
if an item to be disticontinued item , the following must be true.
1. you have to define Discont ind= 1, and followup material in MRP VIEW,
2. Both Discont item and followup items should have same base unit of measure.
3. When BOM of Header Material creation, discontinuation data is maintained for the discontinued item and follow-up data is maintained for the follow-up item -in CS01.
4. Then you have to assign some value for Discontinuation Group in "Discontinuation Data" for your Discot item in BOM. -in CS01
5. Then create a followup group with same value of Discont Group for yourFollowup item -in CS01.
During the MRP run the Dependent requirements of header material will be transferred to Followup item if it is not enough stock of Discont item.
Please check your Discont data has defined in BOM. The value of Discont group and follow group should be same.
please letus know for further doubts...

pradeep

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

MRP Run with User Exit key for Follow up material

Dear Gurus,
I want to run MRP only for followup materials by using User exit key. For example i have a material X(with discontinued Indicator as 1) and it's follow material is Y.
So we have a user exit key as ZFL, with coding as shown below. Now when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL and parametre as 1, it only runs MRP for material X and not for material Y. What else we need to do so that when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL, it shoudl consider both X and Y.
WHEN 'ZFL'.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB5 OCCURS 0,
KZAUS LIKE MT61D-KZAUS,
END OF ITAB5.
TRANSLATE USER_PAR TO UPPER CASE.
SPLIT USER_PAR AT ',' INTO TABLE ITAB5.
IF ITAB5[] IS INITIAL.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CLEAR: NO_PLANNING, STOP_PLANNING.
READ TABLE ITAB5 WITH KEY KZAUS = MT61D-KZAUS.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Hi Kumar,
You can use either MRP Type, MRP Controller, MRP Group in this user exit to control the MRP run. For these set of Materials you have to assign any of same value or at least differentiate these material from other material. Then only you can control the MRP by using this user exit even though if you use different MRP Group and MRP Controller. In User Exit, you may have to add your dependent material's MRP Group/MRP Controller. Make sure that these set of materials are different than all other materials.
If you don't have any plan to run MRP for other materials then as per Ajit suggestion you make that material's MRP type as "ND". But, in your business case they may want to activate the MRP for all the material not now but may be latter.
Thanks
