"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.

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.

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.

Special Proc KEy 30 in Material master in MRP 2

respective guru's
Pls explaing about the special proc key 30 (Sub contract)in material master of MRP2 and how to use for external processing .

Hi,
In fyou want to get a material from a sub-contractor you will have to use spl proc key as 30.
Suppose you watn to receive a HALB matl from contractor use key 30.
When you run mrp, a planned order will be created.
Convert this in to pur order.
use me2o or mb1b & send the raw material to the contractor thro 541 mvnt.
Then use migo 101 mvmnt & receive HALB.
You have to use 30 only if you need to get the full material from the contractor.
Suppose you have 3 operation for the halb & you want the contractor to do only the 20th operation then you go for ext processing. For this give control key pp02 in the opreation 20 in the routing.

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

Hi,
The safety time / actual range of coverage ensures that the planned warehouse stock covers the requirements of a defined number of days. It therefore serves as a time float and thus works alongside the safety stock, which acts as quantity float.
The system simulates bringing the requirements forward by the specified number of days and the planning for the receipts, created for these requirements in the planning run, is also brought forward by this number of days.
Prerequisites
·   You have set the Safety Time indicator in the material master record (MRP 2 View) to define whether the safety time is only to apply to independent requirements or to all requirements.
·    In the material master record (MRP 2 View), in the Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage field, you have entered the number of workdays by which the requirements are to be brought forward.
·    If, in addition to this actual range of coverage, you also want to define a different number of workdays in certain periods or a safety time less than one day then, in Customizing for MRP in the activity Define Period Profile for Safety Time/Actual Range of Coverage you can define a period profile and assign it to the material in the material master record.

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.

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.

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.

Excluding storage location from MRP run in Long Term Planning

Hi,friends,
In my scenario , i want to exclude storage location from MRP run in long term planning.When i set storage location MRP indicator "2" in SPRO and SLoc MRP indicator "1" MRP4 in material master, i can exclude the storage location after run MRP with MD01/MD02,and i can see the expected result in MD04.But in Long Term Planning scenario the storage location can not be excluded after run MRP with MS01/MS02,and the requirements list in MS04 include the stock in the storage location i want to exclude. i dont know if i miss something.Plz give me some advice.
Regards
Joey

Hi,
Refer the OSS Note 208017 - LTP: Long-term planning and storage locations
==========================================================================
Symptom
In long-term planning (Transactions MSBT / MS01 / MS02 / MS03), the MRP indicator of a storage location for a material is not taken into account (material master, view MRP 2 [up to and including Release 3.1I] or MRP 4 [as of Release 4.0A]).
The storage locations excluded by MRP or planned separately are also planned in the plant segment.
Additional key words
LTP, MM01, MM02, MM03, master data, MRP indicator, LGORT ...
Cause and prerequisites
The MRP indicator for a certain storage location of a material is only taken into account in operative planning (requirements planning, MRP).
The long-term planning occurs exclusively at plant level.
Solution
This is no error. The system works as intended.
The individual storage locations should not be distinguished in the long-term planning, in order to perform a comprehensive long-term planning.
This is important, for example, within the kanban processing where the storage locations with kanban MRP are excluded from the MRP, but in spite of that should be included in the long-term planning.
==========================================================================

Siva

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.

Dharma
