Avoid Firming of MRP generated PR

Hi
When i run MRP for the finished goods the PR requisitons created for the Raw materials
by MRP run is automatically get firmed.
ie MRP generated PR's are firmed ..
My MRP type is PD ..
How can we restrict the system generating firmed PR's.

do you have PD as MRP type for raw materials too ? PD by default should not auto firm proposals. But check the config for the mrp type used for raw materials.

  • Separate Doc.Type for MRP generated PRs

    Dear All
    We are facing an issue with MRP process where we want to automate the process from MRP run to PO creation.
    In source list we will add the existing contracts and make it relevant to MRP so that after MRP run we will get source (vendor defined in the contract) assigned purchase requisitions. After that, we will create a background job for ME59n in order to get the POs automatically after MRP run.
    In this process we are facing issue with the auto PO generation through ME59n as funds management (FM) related parameters such as Fund and Fund center need to be enetered manually at the time of PO creation in our system. So in order to avoid this manual entry we want to define FM derivation which automatically populate the fund & fund center in the MRP generated PRs.
    Further, we have two options for FM derivation one is valuation class and the second one is Document type. If we define the FM derivation based on the valuation class we cannot only restrict to MRP generated PRs. Second option is separate document type for MRP generated PRs.
    Please provide pros and cons regarding the creation of new document type for MRP. Also, please provide your suggestions or any work arounds for the above discussed scenario. Your inputs are highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi nagaraj
    it makes sense . i will explore and tell you.
    what about your source assignment standard program. hope it will assign source of supply if it is a valid unique source of supply else it will assign eprofile to your purcase request. check with technical resource how the satndard program behaves.
    i will also explore my side again. check mm forum too on your purchase organisation assignment for your userexists.
    one question to you.
    when you create a PR for material and go to source of supply .why do we get many fixed vendors like contracts,info record if we have valid fixed vendors as sap ecc standard.but in my PR i may not have Purchase organisation information.

  • MRP Generated PR should not be converted into PO before release date.

    Gurus,
    In MRP generated PR system defines a release date for the PR(date by which the PR should get converted into PO).My requirement is system sholud not allow me to convert that PR into PO before that Release date.

  • PO Release Strategy - Only for Non MRP generated materials

    Hello,
    I have a requirement in which any material which was generated via MRP (via PR) should not go through a release strategy at the PO level, but a non MRP generated PR should...
    Is this possible at all? I know its possible at the PR level, but not sure at the PO...   Would this be a case where we would need to added a field to the CEKKO structure thats for MRP generated PRs ? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    By business any PO created, should follow release procedure as PO a committed document which will further send to vendor.
    If you are sure about your requirement, PO created from MRP PR should not follow release strategy, then no need to go for any User Exit.
    Just create separate document type for PR (ZMNB) , create separate document type MRP PO( ZMNB) and  link MRP PO document type ( ZMNB) with MRP PR document type( ZMNB) in flowing path:
    SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Document Types
    Now select your ZMNB B Purchase Order Document type and click link purchase requisition document type in Dialog Structure, enter ZMNB Purchase Requisition Document type with a new entry & save.
    As you created release characteristics of document type (CEKKO with BSART), then do not keep Value u201CMRP PO document type (ZMNB) u201Cin the release characteristics of document type and design your release strategies.
    Now create your PO with MRP PO document type (ZMNB) and see no release strategy triggered.

  • Best practices for approval of MRP generated PRs

    Hi, all.  I'd very much like to route our MRP generated purchase requisitions directly to the Purchasing department without the need for additional approvals, regardless of $ amount.
    PRs not generated by MRP (manual) will still need to pass through a release strategy.
    What is the standard industry practice for processing MRP generated PRs? 
    What have you seen?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sarah

    Hi,
    Well i haven't come across a situation which requires an approval of MRP generated PR's.
    If the process of loading demands is controlled, then the output from MRP is by default controlled, unless there is some specific enhancements put in MRP calculation which does a change.
    So if there is no such enahancements, then i do not see a need for the same.
    So from a good practise perspective, i would look at controlling the demand & the manner in which it is entered into the system.

  • MRP Generated production orders greys out Sales Order and Customer fields

    Hi there,
    The MRP generated production orders greys out the Sales Order and Customer fields for some reasons. These fields are really important as they link the production order to the sales order and the customer's purchase order. Could the SAP team please fix this or advise alternative way of getting the sales order and customer info on production order? Thanks.

    Hello
    MRP only poulated this fields in case the material master has been set up with a strategy group hich is make to order (normally 20). Otherwise MRP summarizes all the requirements from different Customer orders and creates a production order

  • MRP Generating Purchase Reqs for Materials Needed in 2013

    Hi, all.  We're running MRP and it's generating a massive amount of purchase requisitions (18,310 to be exact).
    The following is a typical part setup:
    Lot size = EX
    Planned delivery time = 5 days
    GR processing time = 2 days
    Individual/collective requirements = 1
    MRP profile = BTO
    We have one existing sales order with a delivery date in 2014.
    With a lead time of roughly a week, why is MRP generating purchase requisitions out into 2013 for this material??
    Thanks!
    Sarah

    Sarah,
    MRP Profile doesn't mean much to us, they are all created individually during each implementation, and they are all different.  However, I will guess that BTO is some type of Make-to-order profile.
    You mention 18K of PRs.  Are these all being created in a single run, or is it possible that they may have been accumulating for a while?   To find out, run MRP, but using the parameter for Planning mode 'Delete and Recreate planning data'.  It will delete all the unfirmed PRs and then regenerate new ones based on the current situation.  I will assume for the moment that all these 'future' PRs are unfirmed, please let me know if they are not.
    Since it appears to be a MTO environment (if not, let me know) then you should be able to see in the planning segment which requirement (sales order) is driving the purchase reqs.  Depending on your MRP type, this could give you understanding of why MRP is proposing so many PRs.
    One thing that will generate a large number of purch reqs is an unrealistic value in Maximum Lot size (MRP1 page of material master).  For instance, for a requirement of 1000 widgets, and a max lot size of , say, 2, it would generate 500 PRs for 2 widgets each.
    If my suggestions don't help you, please specify MRP Type, Lot Size, max lot size, rounding value, Safety stock, reorder point, Strategy group,   From these values we can begin to understand your problem a little better.

  • Assign new document type for automatic MRP generated PR

    Dear Experts ,
    I want to have a document type ZMRP  MRP generated Purchase Requisitions ( automatic ).

    Hello Experts ,
    I have done the assignments , but the system is still picking up the document type NB .
    I may or may not define MRP group in the material master as MRP group is not relevant for my client .
    I want to know , from where does the system still pick the document type NB ?

  • How to configure wokflow for MRP generated  & manually created PR

    Dear Gurus,
    I have to customize SAP workflow for releasing Purchase requisitions. I will be using enhancement M06B0001 for my own role resolution.
    I have some questions regarding workflow
    1)     How to configure workflow for MRP generated & manually created PR?What are the steps? what are the limitations in doing so?
    2)     Since we are facing the problem of insufficient user license ,How to send notifications to NON SAP users?(We have thought of creating a Z table for the same)
    Looking forward to your reply,
      Thanks in advance,
    Best regards

    Dear Mike,
    Thanks for your reply, & sorry for not responding on time.
      Here are my constraints:
    1) Not a single component of HR module will be implemented.(Project management decision:-()
    2) Number of user licenses are less, considering the workflow users.(Hence we have thought of creating Z table for employee nos. & EMAIL IDs ,& this table will be accessed by using M06B0001 user exit.(It is still in development phase. Truely speaking, dont know whether it will work or not).If this works out ,then I believe, record from SU01 will not be used (Please correct me here).
    3)We have 2 instances on development server.(in short,2 separate installations on same server by creating additional instance). What are the implications of this particular system landscape on workflow? Whether workflow will work or not??:-(, :-(.
    The reason I asked you 3rd question is , As soon as 2 nd instance was created on development server, Short Dumps are coming while running transactions of Workflow builder.(SWDD & PFTC).It is giving error" Table is unknown or does not exist". Description of error says"The current program"SAPLSWF3 had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed."
    "An SAP Open SQL Statement contains a table that does not exist in the database or is not listed in the ABAP Data dictionary.The Table is "SWF_WFPDSC" or another table is accessed in the statement.
    Program=SAPLSWF3
    Include=LSWF3U05
    Row=22
    Module name=SWF_WFP_REPOSITORY_CONTENT_GET
    The same dump is coming while accessing SWF_WFPVW table from SE16.
    Request to Mike & all of you, help me in this regard.

  • MRP generated Automatic PR creation is not trigerring the Workflow.

    Dear Experts,
    In our Implementation we are using workflow for Purchase Requsition. The release strategy is configured by the functional consutant. For the MRP generated PR the first releasig point is MRP controller and the PR type is Custom type MRP PR. If we create the PR manually with the said PR type the workflow is getting triggered ( checked in SWI1) and sending the E-mail  notification like other types of PR like Invertory and Capex PR.
    But while running the MRP, some  PRs of MRP PR type with same releasing point are being created automatically for the material (Raw, Packging) as per the setting of reorder level but these PRs triggering the workflow as it did while creating maually. Please guide / suggest me how I have to trigger the work flow for Automatic MRP generated PR.

    Your query is not clear. Does the workflow initiator is different for the 2 PRs.
    Thanks

  • MRP Generated PR delivery date on a weekend

    We have production orders scheduled for a Sat and Sun but the MRP generated PR has a delivery date of Friday. How do I get the PRs to have delivery dates of Sat and Sun to match the orders? We use a factory calendar that is mon-fri but we receive materials 7 days a week. I can't change the factory calendar for other reasons. I looked into creating a planning calendar but that doesn't seem to be the right approach. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    dear friend,
    how many plants you have? I mean inwards goods, manufacturing, planning. what are the factory calenrdars for them?
    what about your material master? which planning calendar you have there?
    the very first idea is extend your factory calendar for Sat-Sundays
    (I assume you can't re-schedule your orders for Mon-Fridays, but why you can't change the factory calendar?)
    good luck.

  • Problem in MRP generated purchase requisition.

    Hi Friends,
    We have run MRP via MD02 transaction for one material.
    MRP generated purchase requisition created.
    In that MRP generated purchase requisition, under item level in the status tab we are getting below field values is like below.
    Processing status : No edited
    Block ID: Blocked by requester.
    Due to above values we are not able to convert this MRP PR to PO.
    Could you please let us know is there any master setting is cause of this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Jegen Mohan

    Hi Friends,
    After debugging MRP programme, we came to know that there is BADI implemented to block the MRP PR's intially and then z programme called for adding secondary materials/services to that MRP PR's.
    After addition of secondary materials/services to MRP PR's,  Status will be unblock automatically then save the PR.
    This is my client specific scenario.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Release strategy for MRP generated PR.

    Dear friends,
    Can we have release strategy for MRP generated purchase requisitions.....
    What are the steps required if yes.....
    Plz. suggest....
    Thanks in advance
    Navin

    HI,
    IF you want to characteris MRP genrated PR then you have to define different document type other than the standrad one.
    For this MRP define the release stratergy has usual procedure.
    In case if ou dont have a different document type also the standard release procedure which you have conffigured will hold good.

  • Release Strategy not working for MRP generated PR

    I have one qurey. Currently we are release strategy for normal PR.Now client want to activate release strategy for MRP generated PR.
    current Release Strategy for normal PR configured as following.
    Purchase requisition document     RV
    Purchase requisition document     ZADV
    Purchase requisition document     ZIMP
    Purchase requisition document     ZSER
    Purchase requisition document     ZSTD
    Purchase requisition document     ZSTR
    Purchasing group     A01
    Total value of requisition for     > 1.00 INR
    Creation indicator (purchase r     Realtime (manual)
    Overall release of purchase re     Yes
    For MRP generated PR I add creation indicator B - Material requirements Planning.Even after add creation indicator release strategy is not triggering for PR.
    To trigger PR any setting need to do other than add creation indicator.
    Regards
    Sathish

    Hi
    You don't have to include creation indicator as parameter. Check in what documnet type MRP PR is generated. You can see it in t.code OMDT. At document type level also you can manage it. You need to include creation indicator only if a seperate person approves MRP generated PR.
    To know how to configure release procedure see the below link
