Auto MRP run in SAP R/3

Hi all,
My query is that , how can I run MRP automatically on a daily basis in SAP R/3. Is there definite settings for it?
Thanks

Hi,
Automatic MRP can be schedule at plant level only and from MDBT (MRP in background) and MD01 (MRP in foreground..this is not advisable) transactions.
You can schedule this either from MDBT transaction or from SM36. You first have to create variant for MRP program RMMRP000 for your plant with MRP controlling parameters from SE38 transaction if you want to schedule from SM36 and schedule as per your requirement like daywise, weekly or monthly.
rewards for all useful answers.

Hi,
For MRP, the main Customization settings involved are:
1. Activate MRP and Set Up Planning File - OMDU
2. Define Parallel Processing in MRP - OMIQ
3. Define Scope of Planning for Total Planning - OMIZ
If you want to use MRP Areas and include this in Scope of Planning then.
1. Activate MRP for MRP Areas
2. Define MRP Areas - OMIZ
With MDBT of Program : RMMRP000 you can schedule the Background MRP Run. (with a variant)
If you need any any specific information please inform..

Auto MRP run

I have done to schedule MRP automatically. I have done this by using transaction MDBT.
My question is:
But how will I come to know if the Background job is being scheduled? I mean I have done a trial in FR1 server , and in MRP lists i am not able to see any difference. New MRP lists are not generated. Can you tell exactly where can I see that the scheduled job is done successfully.

Hi,
In MDBT only you can get the clour green if job is scheduled or running "in the sow scheduling tab"...you can see there status of the job like running, schedule OR finished.
after finishing you can check the MRP results from MD04/MD05 list for individual parts and MD06/MD07 at plant level MRP results evaluation.
Rewards your points and request you to do not post repeated queries.

Update Fund & Fund center data in auto generated PR during MRP RUN

Problem in the MRP auto generated PRs.
The normal PRs created manually have all relevant fields of fund center viz CO area ,commitment item,Funds center, fund.
But the problem is with respect to the Purchase Requisitions generated automatically during the MRP RUN.
How to include the fund centers in MRP generated PRs automatically in the creation stage itself instead of going into change mode using ME52n Transaction code and change it to include fund centers one by one for each line item.
We require this as we have hundreds of PRs generated every day.

Hi,
In order to fulfill this requirement, transaction FM_MRP_PR should be used.
Please also take a look to FM_MRP_PR on-line documentation :
The PRs generated from the MRP run are considered as planning documents
and do not have any impact on the budget. To encumber these PRs in the
corresponding settlement receivers, you have to execute this program for
the relevant PRs.

SAP PM-MRP RUN

Dear All,
Can you tell me How to run MRP in sap PM & How it is configure.
Thanks & Regarsd
Vishal

In Spare Parts or materials which ever used in PM orders, MRP views should be maintained. There is no specific MRP run for PM. MRP is for all the materials under the plant.
Materials availability check can be done at the time of saving the order & releasing the order. Based on the material availability, you can control order release.
For stock items, reservation will be created. While running MRP, these reservations also will be considered if stock is not available. For non-stock items, PR will be created directly from PM order.
Material Availability check config:
IMG => PM & CS => Maintenance & Service Processing => Maintenance & Service Order => Functions & Settings => Availability check for Materials
Under that, you can find different config. This availability check will be done at plant & order type level.

How to exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?

Dear all
There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create PR to converted to PO)
Most of the time, customer will confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in time for our raw material to arrive. However, when the PO is created in advance without triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order, this PO booked quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales order. And if later customer confirms their enquiry and there is no PO stock for this due to this stock is already considered by other sales order.
Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?
Please advise.

Dear Csaba Szommer
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for confusing you.
1. We are in a MAKE TO ORDER (MTO) environment.
2. There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on
    the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create
    PR to converted to PO).
3. Most of the time, customer ABCwill confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in
    time for our raw material to arrive.
4. However, for the PO that is created in advance (not created by PR triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order), this PO
    On Order Quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales orders.
5. It creates problem that if later this customer ABC confirms his enquiry and we create SAP Sales Order in the system, the
    stock of PO created previously is already eaten up by other sales orders.
We are using MTO and do not use Forecast. And MTO Strategy is set at the material master level and as such I do not think we can simply modify the MRP Strategy to suit this unique case, as for the very same material, in one PO it should be considered by MRP but in another PO, it should be excluded from MRP Run.
Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO (for the case of Customer ABC email enquiry without creating Sales Order in the System first) from MRP Run?

Hi,

Hope this will resolve your query.

Is there a report to track the exception messages after a MRP run ?

We have a scenario at our client site where MRP run is not optimized to the fullest.
The planners are not trained on how to interpret those exception messages.
They are not trained on how to reschedule / expedite planned orders resulting from an MRP run.
Is there a report out in SAP that keeps track of
1) History of number of exception messages by type ( Expedite/Reschedule/Cancel)
2) History of number of exception messages that were acted on or ignored by the planner.
This is to create metrics on the usage of MRP exception reports by planners.
Appreciate your inputs..

Hi
The exception messages are dynamic and time dependant. You cannot have history of exception message.. If your user is feeling difficult to use standard MRP reports. Create a new report using a function module MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API
It gives all MRP data including exception messages.

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

'Releasestepcreated' not getting triggered for PR generated through MRP run

Hi,
I have PR Release strategy workflow configured, working well when i try to create PR manually, triggers workflow.
PR's created thorugh MRP run, triggers release strategy but not workflow.
I checked the event trace 'releasestepcreated' event not triggered through MRP run.
Please respond ASAP.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.

Short Text
Workflow with multiple workitems
Long Text
Refering SAP notes that i came to know that workflow is not supported
through MRP run (md03/md04).we are not using Planned orders.
To trigger workflow for Purchase requisitions created by MRP run, we
have developed a custom report to trigger workflow explicitly.
1.MRP batch job runs every night. After MRP job,planned to schedule
another job to trigger workflow for PR's created MRP run.
2. Used FM 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT' to trigger workflow.
3. PR requires 5 levels of approvals based on release strategy
configuration.
4. The issue is PR 'XXX' created and waiting for approval in agent's
inbox.When 2nd day MPR runs same PR 'XXX' effected, another
workitem for the same PR in agent's inbox.
We have multiple workitems for the same PR in agent's Inbox.
If i execute one of the workitem,releases PR, multiple workitems are
getting generated for 2nd level approval for the same PR.
Please give your inputs to resolve this issue.

Automatic creation of Schedule line after MRP RUN

Hi,
Till now we are using only PO for placing orders to vendor, now we want to use the functionality of scheduling agrement, so that after MRP run, we can get automatic schedule line creation, for this , what are settings required, how system create the automatic schedule lines based on which criteria, second thing while creating on eschedule agrement i found that the conditon which i can add for a vednor in ME21N that all condition are not coming while creating schedule agrement even my vendor is same for PO and Schedule agrement, so what are the setting required for this.
regards,
zafar

Hi
1.In material master purchasing view data auto PO is to be flagged.If scheduling agreemet with release documentation.
Then flag JIT indicator 1.
2.maintain MRP views in material master
3.In source list for fix vendor,source list usage 2 is to be maintained.
4.Vendor master purchasing data auto PO indicator is to be flagged.
5.Then when you run MRP automatically schedule lines are generated.
For JIT and forecasting maintain creaton profile in OMUP transction.
Assign the creation profile in scheduling agreement.

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).

Copy BOM Component Characteristic value in material PR created by MRP Run

Dear Gurus,
My requirement is I have materials like thread to maintain color characteristic i have create class - color- class type is 023 , now i want user should able to maintain characteristic value in BOM component (thread) of semifinish material. FG , SFG are not having any characteristic.
Now in PR and PO we can maintain characteristic value in Material Data --->Configuration tab , Configuration tab will come only when there is tick in material is configurable at material basic data 2 view of thread and in CU41 I have to maintain material for class type 300 - Variant , then in class assignment i have select class type 300 and 023 both and maintain class , both are having same characteristic please make me correct if i am doing wrong process, if i am not maintaining class assignment 300 in CU41, in manual PO system not allowing to enter characteristic value in configuration tab . so i maintain both class assignment 300 and 023.
Now for manual PR and PO system showing configuration tab and from PO configuration tab characteristic value is coming in MIGO automatically but when i am running MRP for finish material the auto PR generated by system for material thread is not showing configuration tab in Material Data of PR. I have maintain characteristic value in BOM --->Extra--->Batch Classification. Please guide me how to archive this.
Thanks & Regards
Akshay.

Akshay kukde,
Still i am unable to understand the reason for maintaining a characterstic value for a batch through BOM, I hope you are not changing BOM for every purchase order ?
can you explain what you expect by maintaing this one value for batch characterstic?
you can have many other simple option like
1) Create a material with colour included in it ex, Thread_red, Thread _green etc and use them in BOM
2) Use text in BOM to hold this discription for colour
3) Use batch management, class 023 in material master classification , defalut value for colour, purchase order will be created and while doing GR you can change in colur if its different then default you set earlier.
Akshay kukde wrote:
if i am creating PR Manually -ME51N , system showing configuration tab , where i can maintain characteristic value , which then reflecting in PO and from PO to MIGO
The above scenario I have tried by maintaining class type 023 and same characteristic in material Master. but result is same for auto generate PR by MRP- configuration tab is missing.
My requirement in this case is characteristic value should flow from BOM to PR generated by MRP.
when you manualy create PR you Thread material is consider to be a configurable material and thats why you are able to input configuration value, otherwise as soon as you put this configurable material inside a BOM of normal materila it loost its configuration feature, if you want you can create your parent material also as configurable material, assign same class to it and create configuration profile and take MRP run this time you will get PR with configuration tab as your thread get configuration derived from parent.
Hope above details may help you.
Check and reply, also mark replies helpful if it helps you.
