Define new MRP Area

Hi,
I have four plant under one company code. Recently, one more created under the same company code. The Storage loacations are same in SAP across the five plants. While defining MRP area for the new plant Receiving storage location is used what is has used for the other four plant but system is giving error message " Error in Customizing. Storage location ST01 used by MRP area 55555"
Please suggest how to resolve this error.
Regards,

Dear ,
Couple of checks for you in this issue :
How come Four plants has same common Recieveing Storage Location ? PP Oreg structure is Plant-Storage loaction ( 1:n) but not N:1 .I feel you should have four dirent storage location .However , in MRP area Org sequence is MRP Area -Plant -Storage Loactions .Even you have new plant and u want to create MRP Area for that , you should have Storage Loaction ( any kind) assinged to that plant , then it will allow you to include .If you are trying to use Other plants storage loaction , system will flag this message.
Basically , Receiving storage location is the default sloc that will be in PR that was created by MRP if you run the MRP Area level.So ,
1.Did you Convert planning file entries (SE38 program RMDBVM00)
2.MRP area actvation is at Client level .Check wether u have activated the MRP area or not
43As One plant can be entered for each MRP area and there could be multiple storage location under the plant in one MRP area .But , did you check wether recieveing same storage location can be assinged to multiple plant under diffierent MRP area .
Check this and come bakc

Creation of new MRP Areas.

Hi All,
While creating new MRP areas am facing problem like "ERROR IN CUSTOMIZING:MRP AREA 1002 IN PLANT 1002 DOES NOT EXIST.
But I am creating MRP areas for another plant-1003.
I didnt understand thatwhy this error is coming and unable to save.
Can any body tell me how to slove this problem.
Thanks
Chindam

dear 2009,
frist create MRP area using SPRO->Prod>MRP>MRP areas-->Define MRP area(SM34)
then come back and activate MRP for created MRP area

Unable to create a new MRP area type 3 for subcontractor?

In golden client for defining the MRP area type 3, its not accepting the vendor number in the subcontractor field ( since there wont be any master data) saying doest not exist in LFA1 table.
But there are certain similar data already available in the golden client, I dont know how those have been created long back for company.
we are using ECC 6.0,
Can i move the TR without subcontractor number to Quality and Production clients and maintain the subcontractor in Material master.
Please suggest me how to do that experts
Thanks
Srini

Hello David,
We are having S&OP 3.0 SP1 patch 1 on premise with HANA version 1.00.69.385057. We have old golden demo files imported.
Could you please let us know...
1) is it right combination..?
2) Is it necessary to upgrade to patch 2.
3) in case, we upgrade to patch 2, do we need to import golden demo file again for patch 2
4) Do we have any release note for patch 2.
Your quick response is highly appreciated. Thanks!!

Sap pp -MRP-area

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls tell me the Procedure/steps/Details to maintain MRP-area for a Vendor & also for a Sub-Contractor.
Any comments welcome & Thanks in advanc

Hi,
Pls. find the following details regarding MRP Area :
MRP Area
Definition
The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material requirements planning is carried out independently.
Basically, there are three types of MRP area:
Plant MRP Area
The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together with all its storage locations and stock with subcontractors.
When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for subcontractors and you have assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this number of subcontractors and storage locations. This is because they are now to be planned separately.
MRP Areas for Storage Locations
You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage location, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements for this storage location are then planned separately from the rest of the plant.
You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage locations to it. These storage locations are then planned together.
A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.
MRP Areas for Subcontractors
You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.
A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area. An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one subcontractor.
Use
You can carry out MRP specifically for the determined MRP areas. This enables you to carry out differentiated material requirements planning. The requester can be, for example, the production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
The MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important parts produced in-house and purchased parts for each shop floor area. You can, however, also plan the provision of components for the individual subcontractors.
MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only suitable for:
components that are planned and produced for stock
finished products that are planned and produced for stock. By assigning a storage location in a sales order or by entering an MRP area when creating the planned independent requirements, you can define whether a material is planned in the plant MRP area or in the MRP area of the storage location.
Finished products and important assemblies intended for make-to-order or engineer-to-order production are always planned in the plant MRP area.
The planning run takes into account the planning with MRP areas as follows:
If you do not enter a separate scope of planning, the system plans the whole plant, that is, all MRP areas in the plant, during the total planning run. If you want to carry out a total planning run for a particular MRP area only, you must specify the required MRP area in the scope of planning.
During single-item, multi-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered. In addition, the system takes into account planning file entries from other MRP areas, for example, if the material is to be procured using stock transfer.
During single-item, single-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered only.
Structure
You define the MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. You can thereby assign the following to an MRP area:
one or more storage locations (example: you want to carry out planning for a particular assembly line and therefore assign a production storage location to the MRP area)
a subcontractor.
You assign the various MRP areas to the materials in the material master. For this, you create an MRP area segment for a material for every MRP area, in which it is used. In this MRP area segment, you can define MRP parameters such as, for example, the lot size or MRP type. This allows you to plan the material differently in the MRP area from how you plan it in the plant MRP area.
MRP with MRP areas for the material is not activated until the material has been assigned to an MRP area. If you have not assigned a material to an MRP area, that is, you have not created an MRP area segment in the material master, the material will continue to be planned in the plant MRP area only. If you have assigned an MRP area to it, the system can plan it in the plant MRP area and in the assigned MRP area.
Integration
You can carry out material requirements planning for MRP areas using all MRP procedures and all lot-sizing procedures.
You can also carry out an independent material forecast for MRP areas using your own parameters.
The material consumption values are updated separately for each MRP area.
A separate ATP check is carried out for each MRP area.
If several storage locations belong to an MRP area, the system can also carry out a check at two levels, that is, at storage location level and at MRP area level.
Example: Subcontractor
You can also carry out planning for components to be provided in subcontracting using an MRP area by defining an MRP area for every subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided to the MRP area of the subcontractor. You therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from all other requirements (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
Depending on the requirements situation, the system creates either stock transfer reservations from the plant to the stock of material provided of the subcontractor or it creates purchase requisitions within subcontracting/third-party order processing, according to the special procurement key settings.
Implementing MRP Areas
Implementation Options
The main reason for you to implement MRP areas is if you would like to plan materials, which are required in different shop floor areas, storage locations or by subcontractors, separately from one another.
As soon as you have activated materials requirements planning with MRP areas, this type of MRP is active at client level, that is, MRP will be carried out in this way in all plants.
Material requirements planning with MRP areas cannot be reversed.
Process Flow
You can implement material requirements planning with MRP areas in three steps:
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
During the conversion, the system creates a plant MRP area for every plant as a background job. This, however, will not affect your planning. The processes in material requirements planning and the planning results remain unaffected.
The conversion is also useful even if you do not work with MRP areas, but still have to plan for several plants, as the new planning file improves system performance during the planning run.
You activate MRP with MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. This causes the MRP area field to appear in the applications of MRP and in related areas. When you enter the plant number, the system automatically fills the field with the number of the plant MRP area. The number of the plant MRP area is the same as the plant number.
This does not affect the planning run as the plant MRP area still corresponds to the present plant.
You define an MRP area, for example, for a storage location. You then assign the materials that are to be planned for this storage location, by creating an MRP area segment in the material master.
Materials requirement planning for this storage location is then carried out separately. The storage location stock is no longer included in the available stock of the plant MRP area. The receipt and issue elements of this storage location (MRP area) are also not taken into account in the plant MRP area. They are only taken into account in the MRP area of the storage location.
If you have already worked with storage location MRP the system still carries out storage location MRP even after the activation of MRP areas. You need to decide in principle whether you want to continue using storage location MRP or whether you want to create MRP areas for the storage locations that are planned separately. It is not possible to simultaneously plan a material using storage location MRP and an MRP area for the same storage location.
If you decide to use MRP areas, you should then try to convert all storage locations that are planned separately to MRP areas in one step. Before you assign the material to an MRP area, you must remove the MRP indicator, which is located in the material master at the storage location organizational level (view MRP 4) in the screen area Storage location MRP.
Even if you have defined MRP areas in Customizing, the system plans the materials in the plant MRP area until you assign the MRP areas to the materials.
Only the assignment of one or more MRP areas to a material, by creating MRP area segments in the material master, actually cause changes in the material requirements planning.
Hope this helps.

Tejas

Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

Dear guru,
In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
How can I do that ?

Dear Murugesan ,
in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
as required entries in the screen sequence.
But when I create/change mrp area fields the system dont consider as required these fields.
Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
Thanks.

MRP Areas

I have defined MRP areas for our plant, however I'm not certain about the Conversion of the Planning File for MRP Areas if this will give me an option to convert specific plants or is it going to convert every plant?
Please help, thanks.

Hi
The first process in MRP is the checking of the planning file.The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which planning run) are controlled by the planning file.
The planning file contains a list of all materials relevant to the planning run. As soon as a material master record is created with MRP data and a valid MRP type, this material is then automatically included in the planning file.
First you have to define the MRP area and Create MRP views for the Materials.Then automaticlly materials entered in Planning file.
If a material was created before the planning run was activated for a plant, you must generate an entry in the planning file for all materials in this plant that are to be included in the planning run.
This function can only be carried out in background mode.
Procedure
1.Starting from the MRP menu choose Planning ® Planning file entry ® Set up in background.
The initial screen for the setting up of planning file entries appears.
2.You can use a selection variant to plan the creation of planning file entries at a later date, or you can start the process immediately.
3.Once you have started the process, the system checks each material in this plant to see whether it is relevant for MRP. If a material fulfills the appropriate prerequisites, it is included in the planning file and either the net change planning indicator or the net change planning horizon indicator is set.

Linking SLoc and MRP Areas in Supply Area

Hi All,
I recently moved one production line from one plant to an other one. This new line is feeded with Water from a separated tank. I would like to be able to see the requirement of water coming from the new line and stock in this tank separatelely from the "other" Water to be able to know how much water we have to supply to this separated tank.
Based on, what we are asking for is a new storage location equivalent to the separated tank (for stock and consumption) and a new MRP are (to be able to differentiate between demand).
this is the situation am going on right now, i think the above subject is what am i thinking the best solution on this situation, can anyone help me guide to work on this. thank you!

Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

PR in MRP Area not appeared

Dear SAP Guru,
hi, i have a case if anyone can help !
i have material X with MRP area R0001 (Vendor 0001) with plant A, when i run MRP .. PR exist in MRP area R0001
but when i change MRP area into R0020 (Vendor 0020) and set deletion flag MRP area R0001 (vendor 0001) and run MRP
the result not in MRP area R0020 .. but in plant level MRP area that's MRP area A
why the result not int new MRP area R0020 ? can anyone help this issue
thank you
Regards
Budhi
Edited by: A_Budhi_P on Oct 27, 2010 5:46 AM

Hi
For the Material X
=========================================
You have Created the new MRP AREA >>>>> R00020.
Also, you mentioned that, deletion Flag is set for the Old MRP AREA >>>>R0001
=========================================
After Creating this New MRP AREA>>>R0020,
1) Did you assigned this New MRP AREA >>.>R0020 in the Material Master (MRP1 ) for the material X ?
2)When Running the MRP,
you have to run the MRP with the MRP AREA>>.>R0020. Means, you have to enter the following
Material : x
MRP AREA : R0020
Plant : Plant Code
Then run the MRP
In this case you will get PRs, against the requirements of the Material x, For the given MRP AREA>>>R0020
Please check & revert

In scope of planning ( md01), How to maintain MRP areas in scope of plg?

Hello PP members,
In scope of planning ( md01), How to maintain plant or MRP areas in scope of planning ?
What is the transaction code for maintaining plants or MRP areas in the scope of planning
I tried transaction code SAMP, Also went to SE93( Maintain transaction) for any related transaction codes for maintaining plants in scope of planning, it wasn't much help
Thanks for your time,
Thanks Again,

Hi,
we can use Total planning(MD01) for a single plant or use scope of planning to control whether total planning is to be carried out for single plant/sevaral plant/ for one MRP Area/sevaral MRP areas/ combination of plant and MRP Areas.
Steps :
1.Group together the plants which are to be planned in spro in --->Define scope of planning.(OM0E)
2. Define the scope of planning as 999 for ex and give description.
2. Now select that and Specify the sequence in which Plants and MRP Areas are to be planned,
3.Goto new entries and enter the plant as 1000/MRP Area as 1000 with counter 1 and plant as 1100 with counter 2 and save.
4.Execute the total planning either as online job or as background job.
5.The planning run has to be always started with paralle processing.
In SPRO in define parallel processing in MRP enter the destination for parallel processing for ex your server name and enter the no .of sessions as 1 and save.
6.Tcode MD01 enter the scope of planning group and selet the parallel processing and enter.
7. All the materials to be planned in the plant / mrp area will be planned now.

SPP and MRP Areas

Hi,
today we are doing all our ECC planning (MRP) on MRP Areas. No planning is carried out at plant level.
Is it possible to do the planning in SPP on the MRP Area locations instead of Plant locations.
We are considering where to perform our spare parts planning in the future and we are thinking of either using:
- ECC Flexible Planning
- APO Demand Planning
- SPP

MRP area for running a sale order MRP

Hello PP experts,
I come across a scenario where , I need to do the MRP run for sale order in a MRP area. I have checked , I can put PIR with respect to MRP AREA , but when I open MD50 screen for running MRP for sale order. I did not found the MRP AREA
field in the screen.
In short , my question is , How the sale order MRP run , system will do in a MRP
area defined for the material ?
Here , I have already defined the material is MRP AREA and also I have created
MRP area segment in the material master.
I have also configured the MRP area in SPRO.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,

Hello ,
Thanks for reply.
I am using plant MRP area. For FERT , I am using make to order strategy 20.
I want to specify the real problem. It is like below.
Suppose 'A ' is sumassembly goes to a variant configured MTO KMAT say 'V'.
The same 'A' subassembly is a child for a make to stock FERT say ' S'.
Presently using strtegy 11 for MTS fert 'S' and 10 for the subassembly ---'A'.
Now the planner want to plan for the subassembly.
He is putting the PIR for the subassembly as sales order is not availble and he is putting the PIR for FERT 'S'.
When sales order is coming then additinal quantity planning is happening.
So I suggested to use the strategy 70 for subassembly 'A' , so the sales order (of 'V') OF quantity will be offset for the PIR of the SUBASSEMBLY 'A'.
But the consumption of PIR of 'A' will be apllicable to MTS FERT that is 'S'.
So how can we prevent the system from offsetting the dependent requiremet triggered from the PIR of 'A'.
That means the consumption (that is the usage of stategy 70) of the FERT requirement should only work for ' A' and sales order based KMAT 'V'.
The same offseting should not work for subassembly 'A' and MTS FERT 'S'.
For for Make to order KAMT 'V' , if I use MRP area and do the sales order planning in MRP area. Will I get the desired result ?
Waiting for reply.
Regards,
Ravindra
