Find production plan daywise

Question

Dear experts,
I would be grateful i someone has encountered and solved this issue before and
could help me out here.
We had MRP module recently implemented and been asked to calculate plan
qty datewise for given matnr.
Having looked at table plaf,i was quite hopeful.But later on i realized that once
that moment i confirm any production order ,quantity for that gets subtracted.
that is record gets removed from plaf.
The reamining plan qty is not something which i am looking for.
I want total planned quantity till given date.
I found that i get record in mseg and qals also on confirming production.
But still not able to compile sum total for these tables additional to plaf as i couldnot find
suitable linkage between plaf,qals or mseg.
Thanx in advance.
Regards to all..

Hi,
Plz excuse me,what is the point implementing MRP by companies when a person can't even
tell the planned qty daywise technically or by developing a report.
You asked that you want to get PldOrds from SAP I just suggested some tools. Why then are you saying this?
Please understand:
- Planned orders doesn't mean "production plan" generally. The planning might be much more sophisticated (just think of purchase orders, stock transport orders, production orders as GR-like element)
- in MTO einvironment it would be important to get information on SOs, or in MTO enironment information on PIRs - these are also important factors
- stock level might be also very important
- etc
What's the sense of getting the day-wise PldOrd list? What's its purpose? In itself it may say nothing.
I just want to say that the whole planning situation should be considered and it might be very complex.
I think MRP concept is:
- proper input (requirements) + proper master data maintanace > proper output
(so, you don't have to check the PldOrd quantities day-by-day)
Of course, SAP PP module has many deficiencies, reports are far from being perfect (or doesn't exist at all) - but first please examine MD04 and try to understand how MRP works.
In my opinion a mass-MD04 would be more important than the list you want (and filtering the mass-MD04 list you could get the desired PldOrd report as well).
