Component stock exists but MRP run generating PRs in MTO senarion

Hi All,
My client has an MTO scenario wherein they produce based on firm sales orders. After running MRP (MD02), the evaluation (MD04) for the components of FG - RM1 and RM2, although stock is available for both RM1 and RM2, the system is generating PRs.
This is because the the components are not linked with the sales orders. But this is not helping the client in terms of planning for the components. Please suggest a way out.
I have tried checking the CHECKING RULE but no where it gives an option to consider UN-restricted stock for the sales order and not generate PRs.
Regards,
Kartik

Hi,
What is the strategy type you are using for the BOM Header (FERT) material ??.
If its a pure MTO scenario (like str - 20) , MRP run will create PR's for all the BOM components irrespective of the stock situation, if you do not want certain levels of BOM to have PR's (sales order specific), you can use strategy 50 - and consume available stock for those required materials.
Go through strategy 50 and check if it works for your business requirement.
Thanks

Exclude special stock (project) from MRP run

Hi,
Would need to exclude special stocks representing project stocks from MRP calculation. Could not seem to find a way to control this via config similar to options available for blocked and in-transit stocks. Is there an option to do this in config? Thanks...

Hi,
You can exclude the stock by creating storage location MRP.
Create separate str location for project stock by MMSC.
In the material master of mrp 4 view, str location indicator - select Exclude str loc from mrp for new ie, project str loc.
Check your Plant & str location by checking Plant/ data view in material master whether you have excluded the correct str location which you have newly created.
When mrp run system exclude this str location.

Exclude Reservation stock type from MRP Run

Dear All,
I need to exclude Reserved Stock Type from MRP Planning.
Please guide me with the steps to perform the above.
Just for your information, the reservation is coming from Plant Maintenance module, not Production Planning.
I tried changing the Availability check 02 - PM checking rule to exclude reservation, but it doesnt seem to work. Maybe i did it wrong.
Please help.

Nazrin,
Availability check configuration (OVZ9) has no impact on MRP. MRP relies on its internal rules when it is performing its net requirements calculation. You have very little control over which elements are included/excluded.
You can exclude selected storage locations from MRP planning. Stock and reservations against these storage locations will therefore also be excluded.
You can exclude a material from planning, change the material master MRP type to ND.
Your best bet, though, would be to set your PM planning process up such that these materials never create the reservation in the first place.

Block Stock consider during MRP Run and Stock availibility check

Dear All,
I am facing the stock availibility check , Sytem consider the Defective material which is Block in same storage location ,and system not generate the Planned order .
-Blocked Material stock 100, and requirement 100 then system not generate the planned. Client need the system generate planned order 100 , Because 100 material is defective.
I have configured the system scope of availibility , Block stock check remove , but problem is not solve.
Thanks
Rajesh Tiwari

Dear ,
Can you please re-check your MRP plant parametrs in OPPQ wether you have selected blocked stock( Available Stock tab ) option by chance ?
Please de-select the same and re-run MRP.Generally MRP does not consider block stock in net requirement calcualtion .One more thing , MRP does material avilablity check as per OMJJ set up ( define availbality chek ) but does not consider the same while doing net requirement calcualtion to generate PR rather it goes down to MRP plant parametrs ( oppq or oppr )
Hope this is clear

STOCK OF FINISHED PRODUCT BY PIR NOT CONSIDERING WHILE TAKING MRP RUN

DEAR SAPGURUS,
I have finished product stock of 50 nos through planned independent requairement. now i am creating sales order for finished product but mrp run generate the planned order for finished product. I dont have planned order for finished product because material already have stock. what can i do please give solution.
thanks.

Atul

Hi Atul,
Please describe your problem better, it's not easy to understand...
Strategy 10 is net reqirement planning:
- SAP considers only PIRs as requirements, SOs are not considered
- SAP considers stock levels
- requirements should be LSF (check in MD04)
If you input sales order SAP won't create PldOrd for it. If you have stock and you want to create more to fulfil you SO, you have to input PIR accordingly and run MRP.
Please clarify your problem...in a way that we may understand it.

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.

MRP run for limited period

Hi all,
My client wants to enter PIR in MD61 for next 12 months. But MRP run should create requirements only for next 3 months.How can this be achieved. kindly help. Can defining planning horizon help me or there is some other control?
Regards.

Not sure if you interpreted Mr. Rajesha's inputs clearly.
The planning horizon solution works, but you need to ensure you run MRP with NETPL key.
Anyways for PIR solution, all you need to do is just maintain 2 lines for the same material. Line - 1 will be version 00 which is active, line - 2 will be version 01, which is in-active.
Now in version 00 maintain the values for the next 3 months & for the remaining months maintain in version 01. So as you move along the time line, all you would need to do is copy from 01 to 00 only for the months for which you want to plan.
This way with just 2 versions you can have your control & visibility. Do this in your sandbox & check if it is workable for you.

MTS Scena. but after creation of SO & mrp run ,double requiremnt generated

Dear Gurus and Sir,
Good morning,
Client Has Make to order scenario. Scenario is as stated below
company is into making "Machines which manufactures bottles" which is a standard product for client.
Hence as per experiance, Client manufactures the Machines in adavance for the Stock.
As and when sales requirement is observed, machine is assembled with the changes asked by customer.
For Make to Stock Scenario.
Standard Machine code (11digit) is avaialble with BOM. The same code is used for Long term planning.
After receipt of order, customer wise MAterial code is generated. The above stadard code becomes child of This new material code.
The changes are addressed to customerwise material code.
This customer wise material code is nothing but dispatchable assembly as per customer requirements.
The Stratergy used for Stad. M/c code in MRP3 view is 40 and in MRP4 collective indicatior as 2.
The stratergy used for customer material code in MRP3 is 50 and w/o collective indicator.
Hence there is a std. bill of material for standard machine. MD61 plan will run against the same std. code.
MD61 is having Consumption indicator stated as 3.
As soon as Sales order is received, The MRP run is taken with command MD50.
During this MRP run, system consideres the Sales order requirement as a seperate Demand apart from Planned demand through MD61.
The system should not generate double requirement.
Needless to quote that raw materials and semi-finish items are planned in advance due to make to stock strategy.
"I have got one solution presently
that using MD02 take MRP run for common components
after receipt of sales order take MRP run MD50 for final assly.
system will not generate double requirement .
When MRP RUN taken through MD01,system generates double requirement. MRP run through MD01 run is required for VB marked items.
The std user Exit M61X0001 is available in standard SAP.
What should be the appropriate/correct solution for above stated problem.
Advance Thanks & regards,
Vidyasagar

Hi Vidyasagar,
In your case, MRP Creates sepearte dep requirements for customer demand.
As per ur settings, yor are doing procurement for std material before the receipt of sale order of customer material code.
u need not worry about dep requirements created against custome ordder. Bcz once u issue the std material to production order (while confirming production order created for custmer material from planned order) it will be reduced.
Please comeback

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.
Prabhas

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.

Stock Transfer Reservation in spite of Purchase Requisition in MRP run

Dear SAP gurus,
We are running MRP heuristic on the PP/DS and we have different results comparing our development and productive environments.
In our productive environment purchase requisitions are generated and in our development environment stock transfer reservations are generated as result of the MRP run.
Where can I check differences of configuration that would be causing this?
Thanks and BR
Mauricio

Mauricio,
I guess I was not clear in my suggestion, I apologize. Differences in T001W between ERP dev and prod will not necessarily generate your problem, differences in sourcing within APO between APO dev and APO prod will generate the differences. I only mentioned the vendor number because a transportation lane can exist 'source plant > destination plant', but also you can have a transportation lane 'vendor of source plant > destination plant' which would also have an impact on the type of req created.
Easier to check the sourcing, //PWBSRC1, mentioned earlier. Your dev system should contain no objects that relate to Stock Transport orders. You can delete the STO sourcing records within that transaction, which will also delete the material assignment to the Transportation lane. Hopefully you will then get the default external supply proposal, which is normally a Purchase req.
Also check for presence of quota arrangements //SCC_TQ1. Delete any that unnecessarily refer to an STO object.
Best Regards,
DB49

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

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

How system will generate schedule line for PO after MRP run.

Dear Experts,
                             i have updated MPS in MD61, the period indicator was M (monthly), after MRP run, system generating schedule lines on daily basis for Scheduling Agreement(ME38), i want schedule lines   on mpnthly basis, how to achive this,
thanks in advance.

rajakarthik

Hi
1. Are you maintaining any Planning time fence period for MPS- No
2. What is the PIR qty you maintained in MD61:
                                                                                i.) FG01 is having BOM child part RM01.
                          To produce 1 nos of FG01 , I need 1 nos of RM01
ii.) i maintained FG01 in MD61 with PIR Qty 5000. in MD61,Planning period is M and planning hirizon1- jan10To 31-Jan10
       ii.) i maintained lot size:Monthly lot size for RM01.
       iii.) there is no stock available for both RM01 and FG01.
3. After MRP how much qty is get planned on what date-
     i)   planned order created for FG01 in co41 with qty-5000 nos.
     ii) in ME38, schedule line created for RM01, on 01-01-2010, with 5000 nos, currently Category of Delivery Date
field is D and delivery date is   01-01-2010, but i want Category of Delivery Date should be M and delivery date should be 01.2010.

MRP Run error " Schedule Lines not generating properly"

Hi Folks,
I am facing a typical issue with MRP Run.
Every time when I am running the MRP for a particular material I have made settings such that Schedule lines to be generated by maintaining the Source list and MRP relevancy as 2 in source list. Also I have fixed the vendor. Now my problem is I am getting Schedule lines for first run and Combination of Purchase requests and Schedule lines or only PRs for the next MRP run.. This is keep on repeating in such as way that the planning is shifting as said above for subsequent MRP Run.
Note that the initial settings during MD02 remain same for all run.
I want only schedule lines to be generated but not PR.
Pls advise and provide input where the wrong might be.
Quick responce would be appreciated.
Regards
Shash

Dear shash,
Check with What are the MRP control Parameters values which you are using for the MRP run.
In MD02, For Deleivery schedules run with value 3 - That's - Schedule lines.
The other options are 1 No schedule lines
2 Schedule lines in the opening period.
check with this & revert back.

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.
Thanks
