EXCLUDE PROJECT STOCK MRP
DEAR GURU
MY QUESTION IS I WANT TO EXCLUDE PROJECT STOCK WITH INDICATOR Q FROM MRP.
SHOULD I TRY THE STORAGE LOCATION METHOD BY EXCLUDING A PARTICULAR LOCATION FROM MRP?
OR
IS THERE ANY WAT TO DO SO....PLEASE SUGGEST
Hi ,
Just my 2 cent idea ,
For PS MRP run MD51, system checks the available quantity of PS stock against specific WBS.
Please note that the special stock indicator Q for project stock will not consider existing stock.
Goto Run MD51 and then take MRP run again in MD02 and check the result.
I would suggest you use Master Data Level to excluded because is easier to control but depend on your business scenario.
As if you using Storage location , you need to have specific location only for PS and you need to involve Material transfer among.
TQ.

Exclude special stock (project) from MRP run
Hi,
Would need to exclude special stocks representing project stocks from MRP calculation. Could not seem to find a way to control this via config similar to options available for blocked and in-transit stocks. Is there an option to do this in config? Thanks...Hi,
You can exclude the stock by creating storage location MRP.
Create separate str location for project stock by MMSC.
In the material master of mrp 4 view, str location indicator - select Exclude str loc from mrp for new ie, project str loc.
Check your Plant & str location by checking Plant/ data view in material master whether you have excluded the correct str location which you have newly created.
When mrp run system exclude this str location.

MRP ignore unrestricted stock with project stock
We are using Project Stock. When we generate reservations in Project Stock and run MRP, MRP ignors any unrestricted stock in the plant and always creates Purchase Reqs!
Our MRP settings for the Material Master seem correct (zero saftey stock, etc.).
We will want that, when the material is in unrestricted stock, MRP don't creates the Purchase Reqs for the material with reservation in Project stock.
is It possible ??
Thank's for you regards
SergheiSerghei,
Yes, that is exactly right.
When you create a requirement for project stock, the system will perform a net requirements calculation against project stock. If it finds no project stock, it will create a purreq for project stock.
Now, you have said that your business requirement is that you want MRP to do its work, and to consider unrestricted stock. The only way you can do this is by creating a reservation against unrestricted stock. Project stock is always considered in individual segments, apart from unrestricted. This is a 'feature' of project planning.
It is possible to create a project order, which contains reservations for components, which are valid against unrestricted stock. However, when you create project reservations manually, they will never consider unrestricted.
Exactly what is your business goal in this effort?

MRP - project stock - safety stock
Hello,
My MRP plans on a project stock.
When I try to fill in the field "safety stock" in material master data MRP plans the safety amount on unrestricted use stock. I would like it to be planned on a specified project.
Do you know how to do it?
Best regards
PiotrHi,
procurement for safety stcok will always happen wo ac assignment. So you may have look for use of some other parameters like lot sizing or minimum lot size fields etc.

Exclude Reservation stock type from MRP Run
Dear All,
I need to exclude Reserved Stock Type from MRP Planning.
Please guide me with the steps to perform the above.
Just for your information, the reservation is coming from Plant Maintenance module, not Production Planning.
I tried changing the Availability check 02 - PM checking rule to exclude reservation, but it doesnt seem to work. Maybe i did it wrong.
Please help.Nazrin,
Availability check configuration (OVZ9) has no impact on MRP. MRP relies on its internal rules when it is performing its net requirements calculation. You have very little control over which elements are included/excluded.
You can exclude selected storage locations from MRP planning. Stock and reservations against these storage locations will therefore also be excluded.
You can exclude a material from planning, change the material master MRP type to ND.
Your best bet, though, would be to set your PM planning process up such that these materials never create the reservation in the first place.

Dear Experts,
We have a change requirement where we want to exclude QI stocks from MRP. That is, exclude QI as available stocks at all areas. There are a lot of existing stocks for a lot of materials already that are in QI. Is there any way we can configure MRP to exclude QI stocks?
Thanks All!Manoj,
The only kind of stocks that can be excluded by config from being considered by MRP are
Stock in Transfer
Blocked stock
Restricted use stock (batches)
You can select/deselect these in OPPI
Unfortunately, none of these automatically have a 1 to 1 link with QI stock. If you performed a transaction to change your QI stocks to one of the above categories, then it could be excluded from MRP. You also could have some additional options if you are using MRP areas, and all the QI stock is in its own MRP area.
Quality stock can also be excluded from ATP processing, in OVZ9. However, this has no impact on MRP.
It is generally considered unwise to exclude QI stock from MRP processing unless you know the parts will be rejected as unsuitable. Any other inspection results will cause MRP to become unstable over time. Consider the following scenario:
Open PO 100, open SO 100. MRP is balanced.
Receive the PO into QI stock. If this stock were made to be unavailable, then you have 0 stock available, and 100 pc open SO. Next MRP run will determine a shortage, and will generate another purchase req. Someone may actually convert the PR to a PO and submit to a vendor.
Now, the Quality dept completes their inspection, and the QI stock is transferred to unrestricted and available. Now we have 100 pcs stock, 100 pcs open PR or PO, and 100 pc rqment for SO. Next MRP run will determine an overcoverage and will suggest cancellation of the PR/PO.

Dear Experts,
I am working on a scenario- details given below
1. Purchase requisition from Network as Preq + WBS for raw material with stock type L
2. PR Converted to PO and then GR is done ( Raw Material)
3. PR raised through Network as N- PR converted to PO and issued to contractor with a subcontractor material
4. Material received through GR is transfered to subcontractor
5. Material issued to contractor is consumed through a GR ( PO for service material and not raw material).
What i have found out is Cost is not hitting project when GR is done to Raw material PR but it comes in project only when there is a Consumption from subcontracting GR.
Please let me know what should happen as best practise at this stage
Is it- Cost should flow to Project when 101 Q happens
or
Cost should flow to Project only when 543 O is done
Currently movement types are in this manner
101 Q then 411 Q and 411 Gnst and then 541 to contractor and later consumed through 543.
Please give you valuable comments.Hi
Check in MRP-4 view for "individual/coll" field. It will be 2. that is collective requirement. If it is done then only you can issue material subcontractor when you use project system.Then only it uses 543- O to consume from vendor stock. If you don't keep "individual/coll" field as blank then soncumption will happen via 543Q.That is project stock. So you will not be able to do 541 to send material to vendor.
Coming to Point.
Look at your step 2. PR to PO and GR.. It will go to normal plant stock because of 2 maintained in "individual/coll" field.Movement type 101 will be used. Not 101 Q. So cost will not flow to WBS at that point of time.
But it comes in project only when there is a Consumption from subcontracting GR because header material MRP-4 view will not have "individual/coll" field 2.
It is standard process in project system module subcontract

dear ps experts,
kindly let me know what is the right process in dealing with Project stock items issue for customer project.
1. Is it thru MIGO-Goods Issues to Project against Reservation number
2. Delivery thru Sales order - Delivery thru VL01N - PGI from project stock
We are successful thru sales order - delivery thru vl01n - pgi and unable to settle the Reservation number in Project, which is still showing as "Reserved" through MMBE against the same material after delivery thru
Pl help in clarifying us the right process.
Regards
SrihariHi
I meet the same problem before. and i can share the experience.
generally speaking, we use CNS0 to deliver the finished or semi-finished products from the project.
then we use VL01N to create the delivery note.
if you only use VL01N, the project will generate reservation again (planned order or PR ) when MRP runs. one way to avoid this is to tick "final issue" in the Proc Para. tab of the material (in the project builder) as soon as you create the deliver note using VL01N. then the no extra reservation will be generated.
if you use CNS0 to deliver, the final issue will be ticked automatically.
it will help you to understand.

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.
Regards,
TejasHi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply. Actually my issue has got resolved the way suggested by Mario Adler.
Hi Mario,
Thanks for your solution. PGI through Project is working fine for me.
Hi Krishna,
Follow the procedure as suggested by Mario which will resolve your issue.
Once again thank you all for spending your precious time to respond my query.

Change of Production Order to Project Stock from unrestricted stock
Hello Experts,
I need to have a workaround of transaction CO02. Actually, we have already implemented PS by using Project Stock but the problem is that we have almost thousands of production orders that will come into unrestricted stock after production. For these orders we want to make an account assignment for a project and we want that MRP to see all these production orders as entering project stock after production. If I do the same by CO02, it is very difficult for me to do it individually for each production order. So, is there any way to configure our need for passing from using unrestricted project stock to project stock ?
Thanks,
Kumar SrinivasanHi,
Then try implementing the following logic. Not sure if this can help you.
Use a material that is set up to trigger the production order and attach this material to a network activity that is set to be reserved for project stock Q and can only be GI to that WBS element. The planned costs are recognized in the project but the Actuals are only recognized when the finished material is GI back to the project. You can use your planned production orders and MRP in exactly the same way but they are just linked back to the project when they are completed.
If you need to transfer planned orders that are already in place then it can be done in MM. There’s a goods movement type specific to where you need to reference the WBS element that is set for requirements grouping.

Project Stock from production order
Hello Experts
Am facing a issue in PP where i have created the production order manually and have entered the WBS manually in to that and have confirmed it. Later i have done MIGO against to that Production order and have built the stock but the stocks are taking it has normal stock and not the project stock where it has to be in the WBS element which we had taken in production order. And we have used movement type 101 and its not taking 101Q in background.
If we check in MB51 it wont show the stock in project stock.
Could you please let me know where am going wrong please as we are doing in Production we require a help
Regards
Praveen B MI have seen this kind of issue with Production order manually created. Best way is to use the production order which is created from planned order generated from MRP run.

Subcontracting multiple BoM levels for Project Stock
Hi,
We are an engineer / make-to-order manufacturer, so we use a lot of "individual" type materials (instead of collective). We are trying to subcontract several BoM levels of work to different vendors, and we are seeing many false requirements.
So we have something like this (this is all in project / wbs element stock):
Make hereSubcontract Requisition
Make hereRaw material
Subcontract Purchase OrderMake here
Raw material
Raw material
Make hereRaw material
The subcontracting items are driving additional false MRP requirements (planned orders and purchase requisitions) for all the raw materials under them.
I figured out how to fix the subcontract on level 3 by transferring the HALB material from project stock to unrestricted stock (411Q), then transferring it to subcontract stock (541) (Is there a better way to do this? Now I can't see my project-specific stock line for that item). But, while that purchase order is still open, there's nothing I can transfer to make the extra, false requirements disappear. Also, I am getting an MRP exception telling me to cancel the PO because it doesn't see the dependent requirement for the subcontract requisition above it.
Does this question make sense? How can we fix it? I need to get that subcontract requisition to see that its material will come from the subcontract purchase order.
Thanks!

hi all,
i have a requirement please help me.
we are working on planning strategy 21 ( MTO with Project ).
we have created some limited SFG codes which are common in almost all plants.
suppose i have sfg material "A" in Projects "A,B,C,D "
i want to run mrp on material "a" with specific project "B" only.
is it possible in standard process ?
if not what is the next solution ?
please helphi
you have to maintain the MRP VIews in the Material Master
MRP Type PD
requirement : "1" - Individual.
MD51 is for project MRP run
MBBS is the Project stock checking.

Project stock components in a production order
Hi Gurus,
can anyone help. We have the following situation. Raise Purchase orders for components with reference to a WBS. We then raise Production orders which contain this component without reference to the WBS element. So MRP tries to order twice as much stock as it does not consider the project stock for plant stock.
This all makes sense to me so I need to solve this problem either by updating the PO component reservation to reference the WBS element or allow MRP to consider the project stock in its calculation.
Does anyone know how I can do either of the above?
BenHi everyone - thank you for answering so quickly. I have already set the MRP4 coll indicator to 2 but it still does not meet my businesses requirements. The best way to explain my issue is if I show how MD04 currently shows the situation
Stock 10
Ordres 20 -
Purreq 10
Projst 0
POitem 10 (exception message 20 - so system does not think we need the PO)
If I delete the Purreq then MRP just creates it again. The production order does not reference the WBS element (however if anyone knows how to link individual order components then that would probably solve my issue as well)
My requirement would be for the 10 pieces coming on the PO to be available for the production order.
I can not do this as a transfer posting as it is too late in the process. A TP would only be once the stock is booked in.
Is there some setting I need to be looking at in the MRP group I need to be looking at?
Also what also confuses me is that if I raise a 222 movement reservation with reference to the WBS element it still does not consume the PO even if it is the same WBS element.
THis is a real head scratcher!! -
Project stock and MD51 (or MD03) use with nonvaluated materials (ie ERSA)
I am looking for some help on a CBP(consumption based planning project) we are implementing for materials we treat financially as non-valuated in our
business. MD51 works for valued materials with project stock for us in CBP, but not for non-valuated. I am wondering if we are missing master data or
configuration or limitation or MD51 ? Our scenario:
- We are using material types ROH and ERSA with material type configuration for valuation tracking disabled.
- We stock these materials in project stock with a WBS that is non-valuated and assigned via naming to a supplier name.
- Materials are currently being planned on a external to our SAP system , so no CBP running yet.
- Purchase Requisitions and planned orders are coded for "Q" account assignment for ordering and received against.
- I have MRP2 view /individual collective set to '1' for these materials.
I don't see MD51 when being run for the WBS element for these materials even considering these for CBP run. It ignores with no planning
occurring.
Any thoughts appreciated.Hello
Please observe that, even if you have defined a consumption based MRP type for the material, system automatically switches to the standard PD.
