Discontinued parts with MRP type VB

We have scenario as below :
1.       We have material A with stock 100, open PO 50.
2.       The material A is now planned to be phased out by replacing it with a new material B
3.       Material A had MRP type VB now we will change it to ND
4.       Material B will have MRP type VB
5.       So when we run MRP for materil B it should consider stock of material A & Open PO of Material A for calculation during the MRP run and the new requirement calculation should be
Example :
Material B is set up with RO point 100 and max stock of 150
So when we run MRP for Material B even though stock for material B is zero it should not generate any new requirement as stock & open PO of material A exists.

Hello
Please take a look on the following note, which explains the general restrictions of the discontinuation process:
43636 - Discontinued parts
The note provides the following explanation regarding the MRP type:
The material is planned using an MRP procedure, for example, MRP type PD.
Therefore, since you are using MRP type VB, which uses a reorder point procedure, the discontinuation will not happen and your system is working as designed.

Purchase Order is generated after MRP for Material with MRP Type ND

Hi Everyone,
Material type := HAWA
My material procurement type = F i.e. External Procurement.
MRP Type = ND in Production server , and VB in Quality
Lot Size = EX
Material Status :- 15 Pre-release both for Quality and production server
The Material is bulk material and bulk material indicator is set.
Purchasing View is also maintained for the same.
Planning Strat = Z5 Company specific
Special procurement key:- Z7 Company specific
I am running MD02 with following parameters.
Create Pur Req =1, PR
Create MRP List = 1, MRP List
Delivery Schedule = 3, Schedule Lines
Planning Mode = 2 Re- Explode BOM & Routing
Scheduling = 1
Issue:
After MRP run, system is generating PR, Though with MRP type ND purchase requisition should not be generated.
Observation:- Looks like there is inconsistency of material date in Quality and production server.
When I tried to run the planning , The Error message was generated"Material status is set to pre- release.
After changing the material status to 20 (Active ) , when we run the MRP , The error message is generated "Material is not planned automatically "
We havent been able to locate the root cause so far
Please guide us
Thanks in Advance,

IF the material is ND, system won't Run MRP for the material
Observation:- Looks like there is inconsistency of material date in Quality and production server.
There is no link
When I tried to run the planning , The Error message was generated"Material status is set to pre- release.After changing the material status to 20 (Active ) , when we run the MRP , The error message is generated "Material is not planned automatically "
system will read the X plant material status or plant specific material status first and then only system will read MRP type

CS13 ----- will it show only parts with procurement type F ?

Hi,
I have a basc issue
when we execute CS13 it summarises teh BOm and show the Bom component and quantity .
will it show only parts with procurement type F ?
when we execute CS13 for a finished product , its not displaying all the BOM components , the list is displaying only few
what might be the reason
will it show the parts only directly linked to it at the first level ?
regards,
madhu kiran.

Hi,
CS13 shows summarize BOM that mean it leaves out all the intermediate BOMs(sub assemblies) and displays on the end components. End component need not have procurement type F.
It will display End components in the any level.
To simply cross check, in CS12 add colum Assembly indicator and filter only those components having blank value. You will get report displayed as that of CS13.

SNP Planned Order with BOM having component with MRP type "PD".

Hi experts,
Just a quick query.
We have a BOM for a material FG. FG's MRP type is "X0".
All the components for this FG in BOM are not planning related thus they have MRP type "PD".
The question here is after SNP planning run SNP planned order is cifed in ECC.
When we see this planned order in Ta: MD13 will it show all the component list or only those component list which were in apo.
P.S: We are not running any MRP run in ECC.
Regards,
AKS

Hi GK,
Thanks for your response.
We don't have any other system connected to our ECC system.
We have all valid SNP PPM for APO relevant material.
one thing i would like to add that we are getting this issue when there are more than one ppm for FG material. Like say there are PPM1 and PPM2 both having bom with few different component material.
Now after SNP planning run if planned order is created with PPM2. When we see this order in ECC it shows production version as PPM1 and neither the complete list of bom 1 or bom 2.
Can you give some idea on RCIFMTDE.
Regards,
AKS

Difficult question?? Discontinued Parts with replace function????

Hi Experts
In our company ,there is a requirement very emergent , as follow example:
In the BOM of material CDE, there is a component material A.
And for some reasons(for example: product development with new technique) ,we want to replace
material A with material B in the BOM. And because the stock of A in the warehouse is not zero,so we
want to continue use material A for a period.
And when the stock of A in the warehouse is zero 0 ,means that A has use out, we want to the SAP system automatictlly replace material A with material B in the BOM.
I konw I can use "discontinued Parts" , but with "discontinued Parts",the system only can transfer
all the dependent requirements of the discontinuation material to the follow-up material, not replace the discontinuation material with the follow-up material in the BOM really!
We want with "discontinued parts", the system can replace the discontinuation material with the follow-up material in the BOM really ?
How to achieve this?? Or if there is some other functions can achieve this??
Thanks for any reply!!

Dear Fei,
What's your exact doubt?
If you want to stop using a component from a certain date and instead you would like to replace the
same using another followup material which has the same unit of measure,then you can do the
necessary settings in MRP4 view of the material master.
One more concept is alternative Item concept,where in some period material A will be available for some
period and in some other period B may be available and in sometimes a combination of both will be
used.
Then in that cases in the BOM an alternative item group will be created to combinae these 2
components along with their priority,usage probability and strategy.

Planning with Re-order point considering external requirements(MRP type V1)

Dear all,
We are working for a scenario as mentioned below,
We procure some marterial from our vendors, stock it and then sell to other customers.
Here we want to use Re order point planning considering external requirements , i.e. MRP type V1.
We have maintained following master data
MRP type = V1
Re order point quantity
Lot size = HB
Maximum stock level
Planned delivery time.
We have also created source list,Info record and scheduling agreement
We also maintained setting of schedule agreement in source list as 2 (Record relevant to MRP schedule lines generated automatically)
By doing above mentioned things when we run MRP we are getting schedule lines generated through MRP, for the lot size arrived by considering re order level,max. stock level etc.
My requirement is the schedule line that is coming through MRP should get firmed up, whcih is not happening currently.
Pl. guide as what other setting is required for getting firmed schedule lines.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi
Automatic firming of Schedule lines only possible with the settings of Planning time Fence (PTF) in MRP-1 view with MRP type which allows firming . With Standard MRP type V1 it is not possible.
As per my idea , better to create new MRP type in SPRO by copying V1 settings and give Firming type as 1 additionally. Use this new MRP type in the MRP-1 view and give Planning Time Fence say 30.
When u run MRP then the requirements falling within the PTF get firmed Automatically.
Pl try and revert back

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...

Schedule Lines not generated for MRP Type PD

HI All,
I have created Schduling Agreement, maintained Source List with MRP Relevant - 2 option and maintained Vendor as Fix, maintained info record.
I have created a material with MRP type as PD and lot size as EX, and strategy group as MTS. Now when i enter requirement through MD61 and do MRP Run through MD02, system is generating PR instead of Del Schdule line inspite of schduling agreement.
But If i change MRP type to VB and maintain reorder point and maintain min lot size, then system generates Del Schdule lines for the same material.
What could be the reason. I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD.
Where I am wrong in MRP Views or in any cutomization. It seems that purchasing part is fine since it creats scudles line so no problem in SA or in Source List.
Please help

Vikas

Hi Vikas,
After being thru with your query,i would like to reply your ultimate question"I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD"
Simple answer:put parameter 'delivery schedule line' as '3'(schedule lines in opening period) without simulation mode.
Please make sure you don't make any change with previous settings(custom)
please get it done and revert.

VV Mrp type

With MRP type VV (forecast based planning), after i execute the forecast program, i can see the forecast req. in the MD04 screen.
When i run the MRP, the net requirements calculation is not considering new sales orders. It is strictly limiting to the forecast requirements that is...it is generating Purchase req. only to cover the safety stock and forecast requirement for the month and not considering new sales orders?
is there a specific customizing change i need to do to make this work?
Thanks
SD

Dear,
This is not possible because MRP VV planning works based on the consumption (withdrawal) of components not on the requirements.
So there will be requirements creation for the part MRP type VV ( No requirements will be passed and no dependent requirements will be created).
So conclusion is requirements will not be passed..planning will be based on the consumptions of this materials.

MRP type for two different types requirments( Sale order and PIRs)

Dear All,
We have requirment some materials we have sales order and PIRs. For sales order we want to consider with "MRP type" as PD and PIR we want to consider "MRP type" as VB manual reorder point planning.
Is there any stadard solution.
If standard solution not possible also poivde some inputs on enhancement.
Regards
Sailendra
Edited by: nivedita yadav on May 7, 2010 2:31 PM

Sailendra,
your post is confusing, how you want to different MRP type for same material?
and why its needed?
1) you can use MRP type PD , and incoming sales order will search in existing stock or will create procurement proposal ( depends upon what strategy you are using)
2) If you are using VB then when ever you stock will fall below the reorder point you maintained in material master , system will create new procurement proposal, here the manual means the value you need to maintained manualy for reorder point and safety stock.
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
hope it will help you.

PR not generating for MRP type VB

hi all,
i have bill of material wich contain some raw material. for this raw material i have maintained MRP type VB , along with reorder point and safety stock in material master
but after MRP run, i am not gettting requirenemnt of raw material, if i changed the MRP type to PD , then requirenment (PR) coming for raw material. MRP control parameter are NETCH,1,3,1,1,1
so why i m not geting requirenment with MRP type VB.

hi,
Try in the below way:
Make the Create Preq. indicator as 2 in the planning file...make the delievery schedule as 1(ie. no schedule line)( this would be one of the mistake as you specified as 3)...
Then maintain the source list with the MRP indicator as 1, make the vendor as FIX, Define proper valid dates in it and save...
Now try and revert back...
Hope it helps..

Automatic reorder point and safety stock caluclation- MRP type:V2

Hi,
I want the system to calculate reorder point and safety stock. To simulate this i created one material with
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as 100 nos in material master.
04.2009     100
03.2009     100
02.2009     100
01.2009     100
12.2008     100
11.2008     100
10.2008     100
09.2008     100
08.2008     100
07.2008     100
06.2008     100
05.2008      100
Then I went to MP30 and executed the forcase.When I checkd the material master the system has calculated the reorder point as 14 nos. But there is no value updated in safety stock field.
Now I have two questions.
1) How the system has arrived the reorder point value as 14 nos.
2) Why there is no safety stock updated in material master.
Could u please clarify this.
Thanks and Regards
Purushothaman

Hi,
This is further to my preivous mail. I have changed the consumption values and now i am getting the safety stock.
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as.
04.2009     100
03.2009     80
02.2009     110
01.2009     85
12.2008     90
11.2008     95
10.2008     125
09.2008     90
08.2008     90
07.2008     92
06.2008     101
05.2008     100
After executing the forecase the sytem has calculated the below parameter.
Basic value:95.759
MAD:11.448
Safety stock:10.252
Reorder point:23.658.
Can anyone explain me how these calculation arrived.
Thanks and regards

MRP type configuration :MRP procedure

HI gurus ,
when I am doing the requirement planning for material with MRP type RF (with MRP procedure W) the material can not be planned by MD03,but only by WRP1 ,after I change the MRP type to VV (with MRP procedure S) ,it works .
My question is : how to make clear the difference behind the different transaction ,is it based on the different MRP procedure in the MRP type configuration or something else ? And what else MRP type can be planned with MD03?
Thanks in advance
Ryan .

Hi,
As far as, I understand, there is not linkage of MRP Type and Planning Transactions. Planning Transactions have their own purpose.
MD01 - MRP Run ast Plant level based on Scope of Check
MD02 - MRP - Single-item, Multi-level (This will explode the BOM of material entered for planning and plan all the componenets)
MD03 - MRP-Individual Planning-Single Level (This will not explode the BOM of material entered and plan only the entered material)

Extending material with MRP (no planning file update)

Hi,
When you extend a material manually with the MRP-view , the planning file will be automatically updated after saving.
Apparently this is not the case when doing mass change via LSMW. the planning file isn't updated.
Can anybody confirm this ?
Is it possible to make sure that the planning file is updated when executing the lsmw ?
with regards
Erik

Hi Rupesh,
Yes, but i would like to create receipts for the new requirments coming outside of the planning time fence (PTF). Let me explain with an example below:
Product Structure: Header product (Currently in ECC MRP Type: P1) and 3 BOM Components (Currently in ECC MRP Type: P2)
After CIF'ing all the materials to APO, we have the following dates in APO (giving just as an example)
Today's Date: 1st Feb, 2015
PP/DS PTF: 10th Feb, 2015 (10 Days)
PP/DS Horizon: 10th Feb, 2016 (1 year from PTF)
Scenario 1: If there is a new requirement coming on 5th Feb, 2015, i do not want the heuristic to plan/create new receipts (PReq's) even after the PTF. This is how currently it works with MRP Type 'P2' in ECC
Scenario 2: If there is a new requirement coming after PTF (for e.g. on 20th Feb, 2015), I want the heuristic to plan for the new receipts based on the requirements date. This is currently working with this above settings, so i do not have to worry about this Scenario 2.
Please let me know any other idea or work around for the Scenario 1 above. Basically all i want to see the heuristic is to ignore new requirements falling within PTF, but consider new requirements coming in after PTF.
Thank you
Regards
PK
