Alternative BOM problem in MRP run

Hello Experts,
We have two BOM for one material.Now I want to use BOM-1 for MRP run & BOM-2 for subcontracting.I have maintined following settings.
1) Production version.
2) BOM explosion selection method in MRP4 -2
3) Assign PV in inforecord for subcontracting.
4) Assign PV in MD61 in schedule line .
But when I run MRP it still consider subcontracting BOM.Have I missed any setting?
Kindly guide.Thanks you.

Hi, Follow the below process,
1.Enter the BOM selection method as 2 in the MRP4 view of the material master.
2.In case if you have not assigned 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),the system always picksup the first production version during
MRP run even if all the prod versions contains the same validity dates and lot sizes.
3.If you are not willing to assign the prod version in MD61 ,but the system should consider the second
prod version for MRP run means,then set the locked status for the first prod.version.
4.When run MRP via MD02 or MD50 in the simulation mode.(i.e w/o giving tick in simulation mode).
Click on Save,You will get a pop screen,
Now click on the continue icon, Then go to Plaining Results: Individual lines screen.where you will get Plan order on which when double click you will get pop screen below,where you have Planned order no,quantity,plant,storage location,and version.
Now here you can select the required version,and it will become firmed. This BOM will be used in the order now. Try it.

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.

Chetan.

Problem with MRP running

Hello Gurus,
i have a problem with my product. lets take an example. my semifinished product abc is made up of a, b and c.
i have made them(abc, a, b and c) to use MRP type VB. i made palnning file entry and BOM and then i run the MRP.
I run single item multilevel MRP for semi-finished product abc, it showed me result in MRP running only for abc but not for a, b and c.
can u please tell me where i am making any mistake.
regards

Hi Maggi,
If you have used mrp run for single item,single level planning (ie) md03, it will plan only for that particular material & will not plan for the dependent material in the BOM.
If you run with t.code md02, MRP run for single item,multi level, all the dependent requirements will be planned.
Also VB is for reorder point planning. ie if you maint reorder level as 100 for a,b & c materials & if the stock goes below 100, say 50 Nos. for all the three material. Then procurement proposal(Pur req) will be created for 50 nos for all the material(a,b,c).
If you use MRP type PD, there is no question of reorder level, during mrp run system check the stock of the dependent requirements. If there is a shortage procurement proposal are created.

Problem during MRP RUN.

HELLO, FRIENDS,
if i select mixed MRP in the material master with indicator 2 i.e.gross reqirement
for MRP run ,but after taking MRP run through md01 .its not exploding dependent requirement of its component.Is there any setting for this?
lpease give solution
regards,]mangesh

Hi,
Check with t.code CS11 & check the result whether BOM is exploding or not.
Then check in t.code OS23, whether mrp exlosion is activated or not.
Check the BOM usage used while creating the BOM.

Dates problem in MRP Run

Hello
i m running mrp using zpp_md50 is the zprogramme for running the mrp for all the line items in one sales order, after running the MRP, whatever the pur. req. generated we will convert it to PO, but client need one release statergy here so that they can take the assurance from the suppling plant that whatever the date mrp run showing is that plant is really able to supply the goods on that date or not.
1) if suppling plant is not able to send the goods on the requested date in that case receving plant should be able do the amendment (change) in dates in their panning so that they can give the new delivery date to the customer?how to achive this?
2) They also want when we run the MRP, system has to consider the unrestricted stock present for the sales order line item,but without giving the sales order ref. using 412e to sales order.cause their r huge no of line item in sales order.
3) my client is not able to achive the customer date so it is very imp to do the amendment in mrp dates cause the dependacy is on the supplying plant & the suppling plant can produse only taking material grades of the same item at a time & it is not possible for suppling plant to produce as per the delivery date of the order.so the date in master ie. in house production date maintain is not really going to be follow, as the plant is critical, plz suggest some solutions for this also?
Regards
Nishj.

Nishj,
Wow. Substantial requirements. Let me see how many of these I can help you with.
i m running mrp using zpp_md50
Please understand that that program is custom to your system. It will be hard for us to comment on it's workings.
they can take the assurance from the suppling plant
It seems that you are selling the product from one plant but manufacturing in another
if suppling plant is not able to send the goods on the requested date in that case receving plant should be able do the amendment (change) in dates in their panning so that they can give the new delivery date to the customer?
This is standard in SAP. Basically, the suppying plant will create a supply element (production order, process order, perhaps in conjunction with a Stock Transport order) to move the parts to the selling plant. Once this element is in place, someone from Sales or another appropriate functional group will re-ATP the sales order. The sales order will then re-confirm against the new, more accurate dates.
They also want when we run the MRP, system has to consider the unrestricted stock present for the sales order line item,but without giving the sales order ref.
This can be achieved easily, by not using a MTO strategy. If you use strategy 40, Sales orders ATP, and all MRP calculations, will make use of all unrestricted stock. If there then is NO sales order stock, then this means that ALL stock is included. Just avoid any MTO strategies throughout your BOM.
There is no standard SAP functionality that will include Sales order stock and unrestricted stock simultaneously for the same part for the same requirement.
my client is not able to achive the customer date so it is very imp to do the amendment in mrp dates....
I am not sure what you are asking for here. You have stated the solution: The supplying plant does their research, and they then create a supply element with the realistic dates. The Sales order ATP check will then re-confirm to those dates. MRP will also run using those modified dates.

BOM Explosion in MRP runs for sub-contracting PO

Hello Experts,
We have sub- contracting Purchase order in business scenario.
Subcontracting PO is required to be considered as demand for MRP. As I have checked PO is showing in MD04, after MRP run using transaction code
MD02 subcontracting BOM not exploding.
Sub contacting PO raised on “X” procurement type material, PR is required on BOM item “F” Procurement type
Please suggest what all special setting is required as master data & configuration data.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
In the header or parent material (the material that is being produced bu your subcontractor) you have to maintain the following data:
Procurement type = F
Special Proc Type = 30
MRP Type = PD
Lot Size, Minimum Lot Size, Rounding Value: Enter what is convinient for your business.
Be sure you have a BOM (CS01)
Create a Production version indicating the BOM (C223)
Enter Selection Method 3 in the MRP4 view of the material master
Create an Info Record (type Subcontracting).. (ME11)
Create a Source List (ME01)
Run the MRP and check MD04
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Issue with BOM Status in MRP Run

Dear All,
I have a BOM structure and BOM status as attached below.
In this case, system is generating the PR's for all three components correctly while i run MRP (MD51). But when i convert planned order to production order for "Assembly" & "BOM", it is coping the components for Assembly correctly but not for "BOM".
If i maintain the BOM status as "4" for "BOM", then the components are copied into Production Order but i am getting double PR's as the BOM is exploding two times.
As per my requirement BOM should be exploded only one time ie. for "Assembly" and component should be come in Planned order for "BOM".
Please tell me where is the problem..
Regards,
Rao

Dear Rao,
assembly and Bom have the same type of production order?
In the production order type which application is contained? PP01?
You should check the explosion setting in the profile order and the setting of application of the Bom.
if you can send me screen shot of the planned order of the Bom (components details).
Thanks
Daniele

Problem in MRP run with Project/WBS Element

Dear PP Gurus,
I want to run MRP thro Project/WBS Element.
I have created WBS Element & WBS BOM for Material. Then created sales order for that material and assign WBS element to sales order.
Maintain Planning Strategy 21 ( Make to Order/Project) for Main Mtl.
Now when I run MRP with MD51 then no requriements are generated for main material and its components.
Is there any thing missing from PS-PP & SD point of view?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Umesh

Dear Nagrajan,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no safety stock & un-restricted stock of that material.
Also I don't want to assign this mtl to that wbs Network. If I assign the Material to WBS network then network req.is generated and thro Normal MD02 MRP generates the requirements.
& in the plan order it will not show WBS Element
But My req. is I want to run MRP with MD51 & want WBS element as account asignment tab in plan order & production order too.
IS there any config. missing from PP/ PS / SD ?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks ,
Umesh

Problem in MRP RUN

Hi,
We are maintaining one field in suppose MRP field in MRP1view as "X".
In Enhancement, we develop logic like that if in material master MRP field value equal to "X", then while creating reservation,system automatically create a PR along with reservation.
Now My Problem is -
I created a material with MRP field as "X", MRP type as ND.
i created a resrevation for this material,system will generate PR no. 10000002.
Now i am changing MRP field as Blank, & MRP type as PD.
if now i am running MRP,system will generate again a new PR.now i have two PR for the same reservation.
i also tried in t-code MD03, planning parameter as 3 (delete & re-generate).
so now i have two PR against a reservation,if i am checking in MD04.
so how can we control this situation,so that only one PR can create against one reservation.
OR can we exclude that reservation / storage location for MRP,then my problem will solve.
Thanks
Pavan

When you make enhancements you are taking responsibility that all scenarios are covered, and should not expect a solution from standard SAP.
Change the nhancement in such a way, that when you try to change from X to blank, system will issue a message saying that Preqs exist, and thus will not let change before those are deleted.
This will prevent the double coverage issue.

BOM explosion while MRP run

hi all
I have a FERT for which raw materials are assigned in the BOM. but while running MRP, the BOM is not being exploded and the list doesnt show the raw materials.
I have checked in the Overall maintenance of the plant parameters in MRP in SPRO and the required paramenters are maintained.The scenario is MTS - strategy 10.but still the BOM is not exploded.
Could anyone solve my query
Thank you in advance
chandra

Hi Chandra,
Could you please check if there was an exception message "50 or 52"? If so then it can be beacuse for the BOM explosion date system is not able to get a BOM.
If there were no exception messages then check in MRP4 view of the FERT material for dependent requirement defination. This should be blank.
Hope this helps..

Prasobh

BOM Explosion IN MRP RUN

When I run MRP BOM Explosion doesnot take place for certain F parts.This is REM scenario.Planning strategy is 40.I have already checked Planning file entries.
It is OK.Please guide.

Hi,
Pl. check in T.code oppq (plant parameters), if you have mentioned the BOM explosion ID. or in T.code oppq (mrp group).
Also check in the material master, mrp 4 view,
the bom selection id.
whether it is based on lot size or based on production version.
You can cross check using t.code<b> cs11 or cs12</b> (bom explosion).

Problem in MRP Run (MD01)

hi experts,
       There were some MRP controllers were assigned for User exit in SPRO for planning run (T code :- MD01 ). Now i have defined additional MRP controllers and also assigned them for user exit (in SPRO) for planning run.
       With old MRP controllers defined as user exits , Planning run is considering materials with only particular MRP controller.
        But for these newly defined MRP controllers , user exit is not restricting planning of materials with only particular MRP controller and materials planning is carried out for all materials with newly defined MRP controllers.
     please help me out
thanks in advance

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,

*URGENT -Alternate BOM selection in MRP*

Dear gurus
I have an urgent requirement regarding alternate bom selection.

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.

R.Brahmankar
