Consumption Based MRP

Hi,
We are running consumption based MRP using MRP Type as VB. We run consumption based MRP daily. In this, when ever there is change in stock level due to consumption, the system reschedules the old schedules also. We don't want to disturb the old schedules generated by MRP as we confirm the vendors as a Firm Schedule.
Can you please guide me on how i can run consumption based MRP daily and not tamper old schedules.
Regards
Shankar

Hi Shankar,

SAP recommends working with scheduling agreements with release documentation.
Use a document type for scheduling agreements with release documentation. In the standard system, document type LPA is supplied for this purpose. (In the standard system, the Release docu. indicator is selected for document type LPA in Customizing for Purchasing under Scheduling Agreement à Define Document Types.)
It is sensible to carry out the planning run daily and generate releases (delivery schedules) automatically once a week, for example. You can set up the system in such a way that releases are generated for changed scheduling agreement items (materials) only.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/3b/66596bda7b11d1b6330000e8a738dc/frameset.htm
Scheduling agreement releases provide information to vendors regarding the quantities of a material that are to be delivered and the desired delivery dates. A scheduling agreement release enables you to record the current status of the lines of a delivery schedule stored in the system for a scheduling agreement item and then transmit this status to the vendor.
Are you using release SA release?
It seems this is the solution for your problem

CONSUMPTION BASED MRP RUN

HI
How to run the mrp run for various materials which belong diiferent stroage locations with the plant.Pl five me transaction.
Eg.
If i have 100items which kept in various storage locations with the plant.But i have to run for mrp for that 100items.
Regards
UMAPATHY.M

Easy solution is define the same MRP controller for all those 100 items in material master.
Than activate the user exit M61X0001 using CMOD and SMOD (take help of developer if you need)
in this user exit enter the code in function module EXIT_SAPMM61X_001
select materials for one MRP controller (specified in user_par)
    WHEN '005'.
      UXPAR = USER_PAR.
      CONDENSE UXPAR.
      WRITE UXPAR+0(3) TO DISPO.
      IF DISPO IS INITIAL.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      IF MT61D-DISPO <> DISPO.
        NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
Than activate the user exit
now in the tcode OMIX enter the 005 in user exit field and description is MRP controller
now run the MD01 with plant and in the user exit key enter 005 and in parameter field enter your MRP controller now execute the transaciton adn it will only run for those material which has mrpp controller you defined here.
This is the best solution for this kind of requirements

Scheduling agreement with Consumption based planning

Dear Experts,
I Have a Scenario,
I need to Bulit a Laptop which is a Finished Material, and the Components like Hardisk, Processor, Ram, Casing, Monitor are my Rawmaterials. By using these rawmaterials we are building the parent material.
My Client requirement is 1) Plan and schedule the requirement
2) Replenish the stock based on consumption based planning.
My query is
1) How should i proceed for mm based procurement ?
2) Does i need to create scheduling agreement for rawmaterials and and maintain schedule lines ?
3) For which materials i need to run the MRP ? weather its parent material or Component material ?
4) What are the sequence of process need to be carried out ?
Required ur valuable inputs on this.
Best Regards

Hi
Consumption based planning and Scheduling agreement are two different functions.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption values and uses the forecast or other statistical procedures to determine future requirements. The procedures in consumption-based planning do not refer to the master production schedule. That is, the net requirements calculation is not triggered either by planned independent requirements or dependent requirement. Instead, it is triggered when stock levels fall below a predefined reorder point or by forecast requirements calculated using past consumption values.
A form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on predetermined dates within a certain time period.
With release documentation (in the standard system, document type LPA)
The schedule lines in the system have internal character. This means that you can change them in any way you wish. The schedule lines stored in the system are not transmitted to the vendor until you explicitly create a scheduling agreement release (which may take one of two forms: a forecast delivery schedule or a JIT delivery schedule).
The release documentation allows you to display the releases transmitted to a vendor over a certain period in order to establish exactly when you transmitted which information to the vendor.
Without release documentation (in the standard system, document type LP)
The schedule lines immediately have official character, i.e. they are immediately transmitted to the vendor the moment you save them (transmission time-spot 4 for messages). There is no release documentation in this case.
It cannot be explained in few lines. You need to study the below link.

Consumption based planning

Hi,
I need to configure the CBP based on Past consuption data of 3 months and also it should give me future forecast values for 3 months. also I want to use safety stock and Reorder level.
Which MRP type should be used and what are configuration setting required for the same.
Also pl.guide me on What will happen if there is sedden rise in the requirement is any month?
Thx

Hi,
MRP supports and helps the MRP controller in the task areas. These tasks include
determining type, quantity and time of the requirement, and scheduling corresponding
procurement elements. The automatic planning run for MRP determines shortage situations and generates the corresponding procurement elements. Possible
procurement elements of MRP are planned orders, purchase requisitions and
scheduling agreement schedule lines. The planned order and purchase requisition are
internal planning elements that can be changed, rescheduled or deleted at almost
any time.
In in-house production, the system creates planned orders for planning production
quantities. When planning has finished, the system converts the planned orders into
production orders. The system then converts the dependent requirements in the
planned order into reservations in the production order.
In external procurement, the system either creates a planned order or a purchase
requisition for direct planning of external procurement quantities. Whether purchase
requisitions are created for direct planning, or planned orders are created first, you
can use the creation indicator for purchase requisitions/MRP groups in the material
master record on the initial screen of the planning run. When planning has finished,
the planned order must be converted to a purchase requisition, which is subsequently
converted to a purchase order. The advantage of creating a planned order first is
the additional procurement proposal check that is executed by the MRP controllers.
Purchasing can only order the material when the MRP controller has checked the
planned order and converted it into a purchase requisition. Otherwise, the procurement proposal is immediately available for Purchasing.
Planning Levels of Consumption-Based Planning
Requirements planning takes place at plant level. In other words, the entire stock that
exists in the plant is considered in planning. However, the stocks of individual storage
locations can be excluded from MRP or planned independently. These stocks are then
not included in MRP at plant level. You can also execute requirements planning
for individual MRP areas. You can define the MRP areas yourself. This means
that several storage locations can be grouped together for one MRP area and that
requirements planning can be executed separately from the plant for these MRP areas.
MRP areas enable a differentiation of material requirements planning within a plant.
(MRP areas include the function of storage locations that are planned separately for
materials requirements.)
Planning Levels for Materials Planning is either
1. The Plant with Storage locations planned separately.
2. MRP areas
Basically, MRP areas are optional. You can plan all material requirements without referring to MRP areas.
There are three different types of MRP areas:
1. Plant MRP areas (obligatory) that are automatically created by activating
planning with MRP areas. Their numbers match the number of the plant. If no
more MRP areas are defined, the plant MRP area covers the entire plant.
2. Storage location MRP areas that are defined by the storage locations assigned
to them.
3. Subcontractor MRP areas that provide planning of the requirement of the
material provided for a subcontractor and are defined by the assignment of
this subcontractor.
Prerequisites for Consumption-Based Planning
The following prerequisites must have been fulfilled in order to carry out requirements
planning for a plant:
Requirements planning for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Planning u2192 Activate Material Requirements Planning.
T-code - OMDU
The plant parameters for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Plant Parametersu2192 Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters.
T-code - OMI8
In the material master record, you have to maintain the MRP data of the materials
that are subject to automatic planning.
I hope this may help u !

Steps in Fore Cast Based MRP-reg

Hi,
we would like to implement forecast based MRP for spare parts which we supply against sales order from dealers
request you to provide us step by step working with forecast based MRP
1. what are the inputs for forecast based MRP
2. Process of forecast based MRP
3.Out put of forecast based MRP
4. reduction of requirements
etc...
madhu kiran.

Hi Madhu,
Use
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
*Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
*Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
*Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements.
Prerequisites
You have set an MRP type for forecast-based planning in the material master (MRP 1 view).
You define MRP types in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Check MRP types.
Process Flow
1.The system copies the requirements quantities that it has forecast in the requirements planning run and calculates net requirements. During this calculation, every period is checked to make sure that the forecast requirements are covered either by available stock, by planned receipts from purchasing or by production. If a material shortage occurs, the system generates a procurement proposal.
2.The system calculates the quantity recorded in the procurement proposal according to the lot-sizing procedure that you specified in the material master. Depending on the lot-sizing procedure, several forecast requirements are grouped together into one lot.
3.For every procurement proposal, the system calculates the date on which it must be converted into a purchase order or a production order.
Hope this helps you.

Vinodh

What setup is require to run a consumption-based planning

Dear all,
I know there is a two way to run Consumption-Based Planning in standard SAP:
1 - Forecast-based Planning, and
2 - Re-order point Planning.
My question is what is the configuration setup and material master value maintenance require for the above two procedures?
Thanks
Tuffy

In Material Master
MRP 1 view choose the
MRP type
VB - Manual reorder point or
VM - automatic reorder point
Reorder point

To start consumption based planning

Hello experts,
Can you please explain the step by step process for starting the consumption based planing.
What configuration will be required (like activating MRP for respective plant) & what master data needs to be maintained in the system.
What Tcode will used to run individual materials (BOM is not there) & what t code will used to run for materials of entire plant for which MRP views are maintained.
Thanks in advance.
Abhishek

Hi,
In Consumption based planning when the stock falls below reorder point, system will create Procurement proposal automatically when MRP run.
Maintain MRP type VB - manual reorder point planning & Reorder point for each consumption based material in material master and all the MRP views to be maintain.
Maintain MRP parameter for Plant, for this use tcode OPPQ.
Run MRP for single material by tcode MD03, for all materials in the plant use tcode MD02. After MRP run, the materials which are having stock below reorder point, system will create P.R.

Dharma

Consumption based planning in implementation ??

hi
Can some body explain me about the configuration setting in consumption based planning for manufacturing company ??
FOr manufacturing industry, they have production , and plant maintaienance, and depot plant.
For above business , what setting we have to in Consumplanning and MRP???
Thanks

Dear
Configurations for CBP as explained before.
a) Plant Parameters - t.Code : OMI8, when you execute this t.Code you will get several tabs like for ex.Number ranges, MRP Controllers etc... you need to maintain those are relevant
MRP Controllers, Number ranges, Available stock most of these tabs are mandatory configurations.
MRP Controllers - Defined and assigned to the plants, MRP Controllers are the planners who are responsible when it comes to the materials.
Number ranges : Planned orders, Purchase requesitions
Available Stock : whether stocks in transit, Blocked stock, Restricted stock are to be considered or not.
Planning Horizon - 100 days.. during MRP run those materials for which planning file entry is created and within the next 100days will be calculated for MRP.
b) MRP Group is not a mandatory config.
In case you need have configured new document type this can be entered in the "External Procurement per MRP Group" tab and this MRP group can be assigned to the material mster, based on this assignment the document type is picked up.
Each tab has its own significance, Please go through the configuration notes in SPRO you will get a better idea. let me know if you have futher clarifications.

Consumption-based Planning Question

Dears,
I am working on a presentation for a client in order to help them to decide which SAP Planning Tool should be implemented.
Since it is not a production company and it can be considered closer to a wholesale or retail one my question are related to CBP and SCM:
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)? Are they independent? Could it be advisable?
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant. Has CBP the same constraint?
Thank you very much for your help.
L.C.

L.C.,
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)?
Not exactly. You will have to do some customization in ERP regardless of whether you additionally implement SCM planning, because all of the execution is done in the OLTP (ERP).
Are they independent?
If you mean are ERP and SCM independent, the answer is yes, they are independent. You can run SCM without ERP, and you can run ERP without SCM.
Could it be advisable?
Good question. Depends on your point of view. Establishing a new implementation of CBP is a substantial project. Adding on an implementation of SCM means additional complexity. The payoff is more features. The client has to choose.
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant.
Neither MRP nor CBP planning can create stock transport orders, they create stock transport requisitions. CBP does not have any more or less restrictions than MRP as far as the creation of stock transport orders or stock transport requisitions are concerned. STR/STOs between storage locations became possible starting, I believe, in ECC 5.0. R/3 4.7 did not support this feature.
Sounds like you are going to need a bit of help with your presentations. The following site contains quite a few high level presentations about SCM planning you might want to incorporate into your presentation:

Demand (not consumption) based Forecasting

Hi SDNers,
In 4.7 standard SAP without APO, we have consumption based forecasting. We need forecasting to be DEmand based so it forcasts based on sales orders, both open and closed.
How is this possible to setup please?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi DB49,
Yes you are correct: I am talking about the key figures from which your forecast is derived. We do "not" want to use the past issues (consumption) as a key figure, and "do" need to use demand/requirements (Sales orders, both open and closed) as a key figure.
Apologies for my not clearly defining the issue earlier. I was alwalys told SAP standard forecasting used only consumption to derive the forecast - really hope this is not true as we must now use actual sales orders to derive the forecast numbers. Unfortuntly, I do not know how to accomplish this change.
We do not use S&OP: currently run Forecast (RMPROG00) then Copy Forecast (RM60FORC) monthly, which passes to Independant requirements, which is then planned by MPS and finally MRP. We run MPS and MRP on different days by plant.
Most of our materials are MRP Types M0, M1, PD, using MRP Group 0040, with many different Lot size groupings. For the most part, we do not use Strategy Groups.
We forecast at the parent and component levels, mostly at the parent level.
Hope this helps - please let me know if you need any more info or if I did not clearly state our processes.
Thanks again for your help!! Really appreciate your time and knowledge sharing.

Difference between MTO/MTS vs Consumption Based Planning?

Hi,
What is the Difference between MTO/MTS vs Consumption Based Planning?.
In what scenario we used these types?? could you please explain me with examples...
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
MTS = Make to stock, you are simply wanting to build up stock and so this will generate requirements even if there are no Sales orders or demand of any kind. This is the most common option
MTO = make to order, you only want these items when there is a specific
But consumption based planning is not completely different, you are still using MTS / i.e. you are creating requirements based on the settings in MRP instead of any demand (but the same applies to MTS)
So MTS and consumption based planning are more or less the same thing.
You would use MTO if you produce items only when you have an order.
So if you have warehouse space and sell a lot of an item, you can use MTS or consumption based planning because you know that you will always be likely to be able to sell the stock.
If you make things for specific orders (such as special sizes or specifications to match the customer's requirements. Or if you don't sell many of an item and the lead times for production are very short (or you don't have much warehouse space) then you would wait for an order before making the item (MTO

Long Term Planning : Requirements from "Consumption based planning" missing

Hello,
I'm trying to use long term planning ( MSBT,MS01..) for simulation. In the scenario I've set up I want to have all actual requrements and orders as well as fixed orders.
The problem is that requirements(=forecast) for materials with consumption based planning ( MRP type =VV ) are not transferred from the operative planning. How can this be achieved ?
Best Regards
Bernt

Hi,
Hard to say... have you looked in the details of the VV MRP setting, your LTP scenario, or your copy transaction in case there is some parameter about this?
In case you are looking for information about this process, here is a good document with a detailed description of the Long-Term Planning Process in SAP (with detailed T-codes as well): http://expertplug.com/materials/training/long-term-planning-in-sap
You have a preview and a detailed description to see if it suits your needs.

Project Based MRP run issue

Hi Friends,
There is one issue reg. Project Based MRP Run as below :
We are running MRP through MD51 (Project based MRP run). For this we are assigning FG material code under respective WBS Element which generates Network reservation with movement type 281Q which is base of MRP run in MD51. After MRP run we get planned order generation and then convert it to Production order and execute Production Order to receive Project Stock after GR.
After receiving Project stock and then selling it through Post Goods Issue through SD cycle, project stock is consumed but network reservation is not getting closed which results in again generation of planned order if MRP is run again.
I need your valuable inputs if we are missing any configuration setting which can set Final issue indicator in reservation while Posting Goods Issue (PGI) in SD because FI indicator checking will only ensure reservation doesnu2019t take part in planning again.
Your earliest reply will be highly appreaciated.

Tejas

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply. Actually my issue has got resolved the way suggested by Mario Adler.
Hi Mario,

What is the field " Consumption based calculations " in EC 3.0

Hi,
In the consumptions tab page of a facility, what is the importance of the field " Consumption based calculations ". Please explain step by step procedure to make use of it instead of providing links
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Hello Srinivasa,
Consumptions are time dependent consumption information for a facility object like coal consumption.
Consumption based calculation is used to calculate Emissions quantities based on amount of materials consumed.
Consumption based calculations are defined in calculation manater and are assigned in tab Consumption material.
For simple example without any major parameters emissions if you want to calculate sulfur dioxide emissions =
Sulfur dioxide) in defined unit = Consumptions * EF
If you want to enter detailed equations taking into consideration facility parameters like temperature, control efficiency then you consumption based quations includes all such parameters
The field you are referrring here - "consumption based calculation" - is automatically populated, based on material - consumption based equation assignment in tab Consumption materials.
Thanks

Automatic PR from Consumption based Planning

Dear all
While creating automatic PR from Consumption based planning, only quantity has to come,the price should be updated manually,How to do it,Kindly reply to this query

Hi,
Price in purchase requisition
Shows the price of the requested material per price unit.
Use
The price and quantity set out in the purchase requisition determine the value of the purchase requisition item or purchase requisition. In turn, this value is applied in determining the release strategy for the requisition.
In Customizing for Purchasing under Purchase Requisition -> Define Screen Layout at Document Level, you can set price and price unit. The Valuation price field can be set as a mandatory or optional input field.
Procedure
Input mandatory:
If a material master record exists for the requested material, the price is automatically taken from the valuation price field.
If no material master record exists, you must enter a price when creating the purchase requisition.
Input optional:
In this case you need not enter a price.
Note
Please note that the value of the purchase requisition item or purchase requisition will be taken into account in the release strategy.
Also, the value of purchase requisition commitments are determined for items that are assigned toan account from the price (Valuation price field).
Thanks
suresh
