Error during MRP run for a Material : Calendar date

Hello All,
I am trying to run MRP for a material and it is not creating Purchase Requisition. It is giving an error that says " 08/10/2003 date lies before start of factory calendar. (Please correct)"
The MRP is set up in such a way that we have a special procurement key pointing to another plant. So we are expecting it to create a Purchase Requistion on that plant but it is not doing so.
I am not expecting a change of dates in the calendar.
Please let me know what the issue would be and where can I correct it.
Thanks
Regards
SAP Fans...

MRP will create a requisition in your plant to procure from the plant that is mentioned in the special procurement key.
The second best solution is to maintain a calendar for this past old year 2003 in your system by using transaction SCAL.
But why would you need a requisition for a time 6 years back? Ever thought about this?
You must have a production order or sales order with a wrong delivery date or replenishment lead time in your system. Because of that the MRP run calculates an expected delivery date for the requisition item that far in the past.

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

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.

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

Did not propose PR during MRP run for raw mats

Hi All,
Please help us in our issue for MRP. I have created planned order for SFG(semi finished goods).
Scenario:
SFG Planned Order: 170,000,000 pcs
raw mats A in MMBE: 1,110.546 with reservation: 656.017
raw mats A PO to be GR'ed : 5,025.798 MTN
BOM base quantity: 10,000 pcs
raw mats A qty in BOM per 10,000 pcs : 3.709 MTN
Info of raw mats A in material master:
MRP Type: VB (manual reorder point planning)
Reorder point: 1,950
Lot size: EX (lot-for-lot order quantity)
Maximum lot size: 3,850
Manual computation:
= 170,000,000/10,000
= 17,000 * 3.709
= 63,053 MTN (quantity of raw mats needed to produce 170 million pcs of SFG
But then after the MRP run it does not propose any PR. Do we have to change any info in our raw mats A? Or change in the configuration?
Thank you
Jesielle

Hi Jessille,
The raw material A is set for reorder point planning,
U already have a stock of 1100
& a PO to be GRed for 5025
& ur reorder point is 1950
as the stock & PO fulfill your reorder point ,no requisition would be generated.
When a material is set for reorder point planning dependent requirement from FG materials
will not be considered. If you want the system to calculate the qty based on the dependent
requirements you need to change the MRP type to PD, but before changing check why
the material was set for reorder point planning.

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

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).

Rounding of Decimal for dependent requirement During MRP Run

Hello Experts,
I have the following scenario:
We are currently enabling Characteristic Based Planning in our system.
Our one component is selected when two characteristic values are met through object dependencies.
Ex: Component A = Char A= '002' and Char B ='002'
Now we have given the following Usage Probability for the two characteristic:
Char A = 20%
Char B = 15%
And the total PIR quantity is 25 Pcs for Configurable Header.
With the above usage probability and PIR Qty, We have a dependent requirement of 0.75 Ea
((20% X 15%) of 25 Pcs) = 3% of 25 Pcs = 0.75 Ea of the component
Now during MRP Run I want to round the dependent Requiremnet to 1 Ea instead of 0.75 Ea.
Any suggestion towards the solution will be appreciated.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi Vivek,
As mentioned we are using Characteristic Based Planning.
The component is selected based on a Selection comdition which is as follows:
Component 721290201000 = $PARENT.BCS_RL_LINE_LOADER = '002' and $PARENT.BCS_RL_WAFER_VENDOR ='002'
When the above two conditions are met the component is selected.
In Characteristic Based Planning we give percentages (Usage Probabality) to the characteristic values like:
$PARENT.BCS_RL_LINE_LOADER/'002' =20%
$PARENT.BCS_RL_WAFER_VENDOR/'002'= 30%
For the Parent which is a KMAT Material we maintain the PIR say 40 Qty.
Now the component qty is calculated as follows:
721290201000 =(20% X 30%) of 40 Qty of parent
721290201000 =(6%) of 40 Qty of parent
721290201000 = 2.4 Qty of component is the dependent req.
Now my requirent is to round the dependent requirenment to 3 during MRP Run. Please note that the purchase requisition got from the above dependent requirement is rounded to 3 qty.
Now I want to round the dependent requirement.

Vinod

Materials planning for Recursive BOM during MRP run

SAP Guru's,
We developed an recursive BOM as per production requirments , but we didn't know the impact of this recursive BOM during MRP run.
Pls help us how to recursive bom behaves during MRP.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh Babu.S

Hi,
This message was sent to us by SAP when we were having the same kind of requirement. Hope it will help you too.
Usage Probability
Material requirements planning (MRP) plans the alternative items according to usage probability.
If you use the usage probability to determine the withdrawal posting (strategy 1), the quantities are proposed according to the usage probability. You can change the proposed quantities.
An alternative item is only planned if the usage probability is at least 1%.
If the usage probability is 0%, a dependent requirement with quantity
0 is generated for the material.
The component with the quantity 0 is displayed in the planned order.
If required you can increase the quantity there.
It is possible to plan too much for alternative items, because you can enter usage probabilities that add up to more than 100%.
Hope it will help you.

Schedule lines are not getting generated during MRP Run

Schedule lines are not getting generated during MRP Run. I have maiantained source list for the material with proper validity date and also maintained scheduling agreement . MRP relevvant Indicator , I have marked - 2 which means -Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
Still I am not able to get schedule lines and instead of that *Purchase Requisitions* are getting generated.
Can any one help me and suggest me what to be done in this case .
Thanks & Regards ,
Nirmalya

Dear,
Welcome to SDN,
In transaction OMDT you have to enable the indicator create schedule lines
In MD02 MRP control Prameter here select the Delivery schedules -3- Schedule line. Processing Key as NETCH and Planning Mode - 3 delted and recreated.
Maintain source list ME01, in that put MRP indicator as '2' i.e. schedule lines via MRP.Put your agreement no in that.
If u run MRP properly u will get schedule lines automatically in ME38.
Make the schedule agreement, make it source relevent in the source list make is FIX and MRP indicator as 3.

Alternative items during MRP run

Hi,
I have seen discussion on alternative items in BOM. Thanks for all for sharing your knowledge. I knew alternative items will be choosen while creating / release of production order (material availability check)
Requirement:
For material A, I am using component B as priority 1 and component C as priority 2.
During MRP run, system needs to CHECK component B first. If stock is not available for component B then system need to consider component C automatically. It should not create any planned order for component B.
Is it possible, system will check automatically alternate items during MRP run? if so kindly let me know the logic.
If not, is there is any user exit. Customer is asking this facility. Its his basic requirement.
Kindly give your suggestions....
Regards / US

Hi.
I might have typed it wrong, I think the right one is called DIMP.
As far as I know you don't have to purchase it. In the past those extensions were known as Industry Solutions, in this case Automotive and A&D.
Before you go to this complexity for interchangeable materials functionality in MRP, I recommend that you have a design review with your customer, to strengthen the point that if two materials are the same for all usage purposes, but only differ, let's say, in the source (different manufacturer). for that in SAP we would define ONLY ONE material number, with additional manufacturer part number info, and in some cases with a classified batch.

Intercompant STO working during MRP run.

Dear Experts,
How intercompany stock transfer works during MRP run?
I mean if one company is purchaser and other is vendor and purchaser company's planned delivery time is 10 days and replenishment time in other company is 3 day then will system consider these two times in creating purchase requisition in first plant ( in MD04)?
Regards
Deepak Sharma
9818263889

Hi,
Say your purchaser is plant A, vendor is plant B. STO can make by spl.procurement key 40 in MRP2 view in plant A.
If you create requirement in plant A, system will create planed order for that material.In plant A, system will consider only planned delivery time of 10 days.
In plant B, system will create dep requirement. suppose if stock is not available that time system will consider to replinishment the material as 3 days.
This 3 days will not consider in Plant A.

Cheracteristic consideration during MRP run

Dear frnds,
during implementation for one steel industry i have stuck up in problem which is
they have crm plant in which finished products are endless depending upon thickness like .023,.325
if we make material master for every thickness then it will infinite number of material master.
so we thinking for single material master group of thickness i.e for single mmr for range of thickness and during sales order creation person will mention actual thickness in text of sales order or we can make it configurable and characteristic for actual thickness so during he will mention actual thickness in characteristic value.
but problem is that during mrp run, characteristic value is not taking into consideration,
so i want some customization so that characteristic value is considered during mrp run
please help me out its very urgent
thanks

Hello,
are you talking about a pure ERP implementation? A good description on modelling this with APO can be found in the Best Practice for Primary Steel (see link on BPX Mining and Metal).
Usually we work with configurable material variants, as a starting point.

During MRP run unwanted plant and storage location include and exclude

Hi There,
During MRP run how to include and exclude the unwanted plant and storage location pls let me know the required configuration settings.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
To control whether a particular storage location will be included or excluded from the MRP run. (MD02/MD41).
To exclude it from MRP run :-
OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
Put the MRP ind. as.         1 - storage location stock excluded for MRP
To include it from MRP run:-
OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
Put the MRP ind. as.      space - storage location stock also planned at plant level and save it
Next go to transaction MM01 - tick only view MRP 2
Key in Plant and Storage Location
Look at the Storage Location MRP section
change the SLoc MRP indicator to space and save it
MMD1 - Create MRP Profile - MRP profile is a useful entry aid and makes it easier to manage MRP data.
You define which fields are filled with values when MRP data is entered in the material master record, which of these values can be overwritten and which not.   You use the information stored in a profile is standard information that is needed again and again in similar constellations when material master records are maintained.
