Discontinuation Material in MRP run

Hi,
In our scenario, we are using Discontinued parts with (Discontinuation Ind - 1, Effectivity-out date - Nil) with follow-up material in MRP4 view of MM.
It is observed that whenever there is no sufficient stock exist, dependant requirement is not transferred to the follow-up material during MRP run. However is the same is happening during Material Availability check.
Is there any IMG setting for this to happen during MRP run also.
Thanks in advance.
Parthasarathy P

Hi ,Parthasarathy,
if an item to be disticontinued item , the following must be true.
1. you have to define Discont ind= 1, and followup material in MRP VIEW,
2. Both Discont item and followup items should have same base unit of measure.
3. When BOM of Header Material creation, discontinuation data is maintained for the discontinued item and follow-up data is maintained for the follow-up item -in CS01.
4. Then you have to assign some value for Discontinuation Group in "Discontinuation Data" for your Discot item in BOM. -in CS01
5. Then create a followup group with same value of Discont Group for yourFollowup item -in CS01.
During the MRP run the Dependent requirements of header material will be transferred to Followup item if it is not enough stock of Discont item.
Please check your Discont data has defined in BOM. The value of Discont group and follow group should be same.
please letus know for further doubts...

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

Create Material through MRP run

Hey Sap Gurus,
Could any one help me out how i can create material through running MRP to customer independent requirement and create purchase requisition.
what r the steps to do this
Thanks in advance
Edie

Hi,
you cannot create material master using MRP. MRP is nothing but reqirement planning in this you will be able to create planned order and Pur req and also schedule lines if you have already SA.
for this you need to configure MRP in SPRO and some master data like material master, source list, planned order are usually created when the material is defined as in house production in Material master and if the material is defined for external procurement the system will create pur req or schedule lines depending on your cutomizing.

Follow-UP Material Functionality into MRP Run

Hi
i wanted to just know anout the Functionality of Follow up material into MRP run .
how it would be help in case of MRP run , if i will use Follow-up Material.

Pankaj Agarwal

Hi
i wanted to just know about the Funtinality of Follow up material into Specialy MRP run.
Whether system will consider the parrallal Material Stock and Open PO if we are considering the
A (1 nos) FG is having X (1 nos) Material is current part and Y is followup material for the Same with Indicator 1.
Suppose X-200 nos and Y -700 nos (Open PO also 200 nos)
then after MRP run suppose for A FG requirment is 1500 than is system will consider the Y-700 + Y-200(Open PO) and give the PR for X is only 400.

Does material status control MRP running?

Hi experts
May I just check if material status could conrol the MRP running? LIke we setup some parts as Y0- obsolete. but we found it still could generate Pr or Plan order....
So does material status control the MRP running? Could we let obsolete part not run by MRP?
Thanks
Alice

Hi,
In addition to Mr.Brahmankar mentioned ways, you can exclude material from MRP run by selecting Procurement Type as No Procurement in MRP-2 View in Material Master.
Also you can select X-plant / Plant specific Material status as :
01 Blocked for procment/whse to block materila from MRP run.
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt.

Secondary packing material procurement through MRP Run

Hi
Is it possible to procure Secondary packing material through MRP Run. Material type of Secondary packing material is VERP. In MRP view we defined MRP type as VB and reorder point also set.

Hi
the MRP run would create a procurement proposal if the stock has fallen below the re-order point. The procurement proposal needs to be a purchase requisition if procurement should start immediately (see Creation indicators for the MRP group). Further, you need to set the "automatic purchase order" indicator both on the material (purchasing view) and on the vendor. In the MRP run, the system also needs to be able to assign a vendor (i.e. through a source list). Then a purchase requisition is automatically converted into a purchase order on creation.
Good luck

Multiple planned orders in MRP run

Hi All
I have a requirement where I need to create multiple planned order for the same material during MRP run. I understand that once I run MRP a planned order creates. If I run again for the same material, the quantity will be changed for the same planned order. Do we have any configuration so that system creates multiple planned orders for same material for each MRP run.

Hi Adithya
Planned orders may be changed by MRP until they are firmed. Therefore, what you need to do is to firm the planned orders after the MRP execution.
You can use for example, transaction MD19 to mass firm planned orders after each MRP run.
Otherwise, you can user BAdI MD_PLDORD_CHANGE to automatically firm the planned orders created by MRP.

MRP Run with User Exit key for Follow up material

Dear Gurus,
I want to run MRP only for followup materials by using User exit key. For example i have a material X(with discontinued Indicator as 1) and it's follow material is Y.
So we have a user exit key as ZFL, with coding as shown below. Now when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL and parametre as 1, it only runs MRP for material X and not for material Y. What else we need to do so that when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL, it shoudl consider both X and Y.
WHEN 'ZFL'.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB5 OCCURS 0,
KZAUS LIKE MT61D-KZAUS,
END OF ITAB5.
TRANSLATE USER_PAR TO UPPER CASE.
SPLIT USER_PAR AT ',' INTO TABLE ITAB5.
IF ITAB5[] IS INITIAL.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CLEAR: NO_PLANNING, STOP_PLANNING.
READ TABLE ITAB5 WITH KEY KZAUS = MT61D-KZAUS.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Hi Kumar,
You can use either MRP Type, MRP Controller, MRP Group in this user exit to control the MRP run. For these set of Materials you have to assign any of same value or at least differentiate these material from other material. Then only you can control the MRP by using this user exit even though if you use different MRP Group and MRP Controller. In User Exit, you may have to add your dependent material's MRP Group/MRP Controller. Make sure that these set of materials are different than all other materials.
If you don't have any plan to run MRP for other materials then as per Ajit suggestion you make that material's MRP type as "ND". But, in your business case they may want to activate the MRP for all the material not now but may be latter.
Thanks

Schedule lines are not coming after MRP run for HALB material

Dear All,
I am not getting schedule line after mrp run, inspite of all required setting only purchase requisitions are coming.
Material type is HALB and involve a subcontracting process (30). For raw material I am getting the schedule line but in the case of HALB, it is not coming.
Pls let me know if I am missing something and guide me further on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear All,
I am closing this thread. As the vendor mentioned in scheduling agreement is not a subcontracting vendor. Its a individual vendor.
Thanks for all the reply.

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.

"Generic" material master in MRP run

Hi
Our business users want to use MRP to manage the stock of materials such as circuit breakers. There are however many manufacturers/types and while a certain specification is required, they would be happy to purchase from a variety of suppliers whose products could be different from one another.
Would it be possible to use MRP to do this, and how could that be achieved?
The process envisaged would be something like this:
Material number xxxxx with MRP settings defined; stock falls beyond prescribed level.
System must generate requisition indicating requirement for circuit breaker in general
Procurement must get quotations from variety of suppliers (as per tender and procurement policy) based on minimum specification.
Quotations received must be evaluated and based on price/quality, the supplier selected and order placed.
Item must be received against specific material number yyyyy for that supplier's circuit breaker.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks and regards, Lara

you can only receive an item which is specified in the purchase order.
if the purchase order has XXXX then you cannot receive YYYY, you have to receive XXXX and then either use a 309 movement to get it to YYYY, or even better using a production order to make YYYY from XXXX.
Further if you plan XXXX and procure YYYY, then this order does not reduce the requirement for XXXX, and the next MRP run will give you again a requisition for XXXX.

MRP run for header material with bom usage-3

Dear All,
We have header material with bom usage-3.We maintain the stock at child components only ,not at header
I have created the planned independent requirement for header material.I have created a sales order but sales order is not shown in md04.
What can be the further setting I am missing for mrp run of above scenario.
with regards,
pradeep

Dear ,
Couple of checks points for you :
1.Check the material master Sales Org Veie-Item Categoery .As you have mentioned Item Categoery -TAQ which is not relevent for requirement planning throgh schedule line category -CT ( CT means there will not be any inventory or good movement and requirement will not be passed for MRP ) .Only CP -line item categoery does requirement passing through MRP and it will show u in MD04. So the summery is if you want to generate an MTO order for the same FG material , you should matian the Sales Line item categoery as MTO in sales Org View and it will pop up in VA01 whiel logging Sales Order .
Generally , TAQ item categoery are used in Project Billing or Delivery .ok and they will not be having any availabilit check so it KP ( no check ) .
But for MTO order , you should have availablty chek 02/01 in MRP3 view and also MTO Sales Item categoery .
Based on the above information logg an sales order , release credit chek in VKM3, SAVE and check in MD04.
Create PIR in MD61 and Run MRP on the both cases .I have tested its working .but noit with TAQ item categoery ok
2.Why do you need to create Sales Order for dependent Item-Y because it will be in X-BOM item ? Make sure that Y- should have Sales Item categoery in material master -MM02-Sales Org View as NORM item .If you really want to create sale sorder for this item , it should TAN or NORM .
3.Other PIR detail is fine .
Try and revert back

How MRP Run exclude QI Stock Type of a Raw Material SLOC?

Dear all
Fact:
All of our raw materials must be subject to quarantinee upon GR. We have Storage Location of Raw Material: RMSL
In Material Master of that Raw Material
We are using the "SLOC of EP" (MRP View 2) to put the defaulted GR SLOC. And we also make use of the "Post to QI Stock" in View: Purchasing.
Upon GR:
During GR, the Raw Mat SLOC (RMSL) will be copied from "SLOC of EP" of the material master data, and it will be posted to the stock type "QI STOCK".
Problem:
However, when the MRP Controller run MRP, it will take the QI Stock Type of Raw Material SLOC into account.
Is there anyway we can exclude the QI Stock Type of Raw Material SLOC from MRP Run?
I have read from some threads to suggest to post it to the Quarantinee SLOC. We prefer not to create another Quarantinee SLOC (QISL) which will be filled in SLOC of EP and then after passing QC, we perform Transfer Posting from SLOC: QISL to SLOC: RMSL. We have a few Raw Material SLOCS and we do not want the Warehouse guy to get confused which Raw MAterial SLOC to choose upon GR. Rather, we prefer it to be defaulted in the "SLOC of EP" in the material master.
Please advise.
Edited by: Daimos on Jul 13, 2009 1:16 PM

Hi,
Generally MRP consider stock from all the storage location when run the MRP for Plant level for material.
However we can exclude the particular storage location from MRP Run, for those following settings to be done.
Go to MRP-2 View of material master and select the storage location to be excluded from MRP. (Press Shift +f1 ex .sloc2) As per your case it should be RMSL
In that MRP view go to Storage location MRP Tab.
And assign u201CSLoc MRP indicator = 1 (Storage location stock excluded from MRP)u201Dand save.
Now run the MRP, stock from sloc2 will not be considered to create-planned order.
Please try this and revert back.
Cheers,

Plannning Material and Plant for MRP Run

Hi,
If I have a material (01) extended on 2 plants, on one plant (A) we have production and planning/MRP + stock and on the other one (B), just stocking and transfer. B's requirements are to be entered and planned at A. I also want stock at B to be considered with stock at A when MRP runs at A. In the material master, I have some settings. I want to know if these would be any good:
Material 01 on Plant A:
MRP PD
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied
Material 01 on Plant B:
MRP ND/PD tried both
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied (same)
Planning material: Material 01 itself
Planning plant: Plant A
I particularly want to know about points 5 and 6. Will they make any difference if I run MRP on scope of planning(all plants) or just plant A? Will stock at B be considered? What difference does that setting make in my case? Please help!
Thanks!

No sales on Plant A. Only transfers and STO's. Stock is STO'd to Plant B (and other Plants, as well)
Plant B sells the stock.
Yes, I want to load the forecast in Plant A (COPA to SOP to DM to MRP). What do I do in this case?
I tried another case, as well. In that I put a special procurement on the material in Plant B view and marked it as external procurement. (the planning material and plant were there, didn't remove)
Then I entered the forecast in both plants separately (PIRs for both Plants) The requirements from Plant B made STPO Planned orders in Plant B and STCK Planned orders in Plant A. I am using coverage profiles (period is month, standard length 25 days, target 10 days for 1st period for 2 months, target 10 days for 2nd period for 1 month, target 10 days for the rest of the horizon) Not using any consumption modes.
The results I am getting don't make sense to me. I have attached screen shots for both plants MD04 and the MRP + work scheduling views

DURING MRP RUN MATERIAL IN QI STATUS HOW TO GET MATERIAL OUT OF QI

HELLO EXPERTS:
DURING EVERY 24 HOUR MRP RUN 1 OR 2 MATERIALS SHOWS AS BEING IN QI STATUS WHEN IN RESTRICTED STOCK..... MY UNDERSTANDING IS MATERIAL IN RESTRICTED STOCK IS NOT IN QI.....CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY

Dear in SAP generally there are 3 stock statuses are in use most of the time they are Unrestricted,Blocked and QI stock.
When you have activated any inspection setup in MM QM view based on the setup when you do any movement for that material it will create an inspection lot with stock posting to QI,based on your results you can send that QI stock to unrestricted or blocked through Usage Decision(QA11).
Now during MRP run if you don't want to consider the QI stock for net requirement calculation check this badi as in standard SAP You would be able to define only the following stock types not available for MRP run.
1. Stock In Transit
2. Blocked Stock
3. Restricted Use stock.
This you need to configure in OPPQ transaction in the available stock section for the plant.
So in standard it is not possible to restrict QI stock from not considering as available stock, if required you need to look for Implementing BADI "MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA ", please check with your technical consultant(Abaper).
