GR Processing time using MRP areas

Hi Experts,
I have setup where the same materials is purhcased but planned indemendent using MRP areas. There is a requirement to maintain a different GR Processing time to the material depending on the MRP area. I am only able to maintain the GR processing time on the "general material master" and not in the MRP areas.
Please give me input on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Anders

Hi,
I have
1) created a MRP Profile with GP processing time 1.
2) on MRP 2 left the GR processing time blank =0
3) Assigned a MRP are to the material with reference to the MRP profile
= GR processing time updated in MRP2 view
Do you have other suggestions?

  • Problem in updating the GR processing time using BAPI 'BAPI_SAG_CHANGE'

    Hi,
    I am using the BAPI 'BAPI_SAG_CHANGE' for uopdating the GR processing time(BAPIMEOUTITEM-GR_PR_TIME) of the scheduling agreements.
    Issue: when there is no value maintained for GR processing time for a particular scheduling agreemnet the BAPI updates the GR processing time successfully but when there is some value already existing for a particular scheculing agreement then the BAPI does not update this field eventhough the return parameter shows the message 'successfully updated'.   
    Can somebody suggest what could be the reason.
    OR
    Is there any other way/FM to update the scheduling agreements.  
    Thanks,
    Ravindra

    This appears to be old-style BAPI, with ....X tables.  Did you populate the field in the X version of the outitem for the column(s) to be changed?  Did you call the COMMIT bapi after the update?

  • Planned orders are not taking into account the processing time

    Hi,
    Could you please tell me why planned orders quantities are not based on processing time from the material master.
    Materials was set before with 1 day in house production , no matter of lot size.
    Based on routings I updated material master with processing time depending on lot size.
    What is bottering me now is that planned orders are not taking into account processing time. (e.g.  based on my processing time 1000 pce are produced  in 3 days, but planned orders show me that 1000 pce are still need  in 1 day , but it  can not be produced in 1 day   ).
    what did I miss?
    Thanks a lot for any information!

    Hello Simona
    The in house production time from tab MRP 2 is lot size independent.
    However, on tab work scheduling you can define a lot size dependent times.
    Please observe that, if you have entered an in house production time, the processing time will not be considered. The F1 help of the field provides the following explanation:
    You can define work scheduling times in the material master record in one of two ways:
    Either you enter the in-house production time. If required, you can get the system to update this value from the routing.
    Or you enter the setup, teardown, processing, and interoperation times. If you maintain these values, the system determines the in-house production time on the basis of lot size.
    Therefore, if you want to consider the processing time, you should remove the in house processing time.

    Hi,
    Pls. find the following details regarding MRP Area :
    MRP Area
    Definition
    The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material requirements planning is carried out independently.
    Basically, there are three types of MRP area:
    Plant MRP Area
    The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together with all its storage locations and stock with subcontractors.
    When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for subcontractors and you have assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this number of subcontractors and storage locations. This is because they are now to be planned separately.
    MRP Areas for Storage Locations
    You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage location, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements for this storage location are then planned separately from the rest of the plant.
    You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage locations to it. These storage locations are then planned together.
    A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.
    MRP Areas for Subcontractors
    You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.
    A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area. An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one subcontractor.
    Use
    You can carry out MRP specifically for the determined MRP areas. This enables you to carry out differentiated material requirements planning. The requester can be, for example, the production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
    The MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important parts produced in-house and purchased parts for each shop floor area. You can, however, also plan the provision of components for the individual subcontractors.
    MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only suitable for:
    components that are planned and produced for stock
    finished products that are planned and produced for stock. By assigning a storage location in a sales order or by entering an MRP area when creating the planned independent requirements, you can define whether a material is planned in the plant MRP area or in the MRP area of the storage location.
    Finished products and important assemblies intended for make-to-order or engineer-to-order production are always planned in the plant MRP area.
    The planning run takes into account the planning with MRP areas as follows:
    If you do not enter a separate scope of planning, the system plans the whole plant, that is, all MRP areas in the plant, during the total planning run. If you want to carry out a total planning run for a particular MRP area only, you must specify the required MRP area in the scope of planning.
    During single-item, multi-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered. In addition, the system takes into account planning file entries from other MRP areas, for example, if the material is to be procured using stock transfer.
    During single-item, single-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered only.
    Structure
    You define the MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. You can thereby assign the following to an MRP area:
    one or more storage locations (example: you want to carry out planning for a particular assembly line and therefore assign a production storage location to the MRP area)
    a subcontractor.
    You assign the various MRP areas to the materials in the material master. For this, you create an MRP area segment for a material for every MRP area, in which it is used. In this MRP area segment, you can define MRP parameters such as, for example, the lot size or MRP type. This allows you to plan the material differently in the MRP area from how you plan it in the plant MRP area.
    MRP with MRP areas for the material is not activated until the material has been assigned to an MRP area. If you have not assigned a material to an MRP area, that is, you have not created an MRP area segment in the material master, the material will continue to be planned in the plant MRP area only. If you have assigned an MRP area to it, the system can plan it in the plant MRP area and in the assigned MRP area.
    Integration
    You can carry out material requirements planning for MRP areas using all MRP procedures and all lot-sizing procedures.
    You can also carry out an independent material forecast for MRP areas using your own parameters.
    The material consumption values are updated separately for each MRP area.
    A separate ATP check is carried out for each MRP area.
    If several storage locations belong to an MRP area, the system can also carry out a check at two levels, that is, at storage location level and at MRP area level.
    Example: Subcontractor
    You can also carry out planning for components to be provided in subcontracting using an MRP area by defining an MRP area for every subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided to the MRP area of the subcontractor. You therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from all other requirements (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
    Depending on the requirements situation, the system creates either stock transfer reservations from the plant to the stock of material provided of the subcontractor or it creates purchase requisitions within subcontracting/third-party order processing, according to the special procurement key settings.
    Implementing MRP Areas
    Implementation Options
    The main reason for you to implement MRP areas is if you would like to plan materials, which are required in different shop floor areas, storage locations or by subcontractors, separately from one another.
    As soon as you have activated materials requirements planning with MRP areas, this type of MRP is active at client level, that is, MRP will be carried out in this way in all plants.
    Material requirements planning with MRP areas cannot be reversed.
    Process Flow
    You can implement material requirements planning with MRP areas in three steps:
    You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
    During the conversion, the system creates a plant MRP area for every plant as a background job. This, however, will not affect your planning. The processes in material requirements planning and the planning results remain unaffected.
    The conversion is also useful even if you do not work with MRP areas, but still have to plan for several plants, as the new planning file improves system performance during the planning run.
    You activate MRP with MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. This causes the MRP area field to appear in the applications of MRP and in related areas. When you enter the plant number, the system automatically fills the field with the number of the plant MRP area. The number of the plant MRP area is the same as the plant number.
    This does not affect the planning run as the plant MRP area still corresponds to the present plant.
    You define an MRP area, for example, for a storage location. You then assign the materials that are to be planned for this storage location, by creating an MRP area segment in the material master.
    Materials requirement planning for this storage location is then carried out separately. The storage location stock is no longer included in the available stock of the plant MRP area. The receipt and issue elements of this storage location (MRP area) are also not taken into account in the plant MRP area. They are only taken into account in the MRP area of the storage location.
    If you have already worked with storage location MRP the system still carries out storage location MRP even after the activation of MRP areas. You need to decide in principle whether you want to continue using storage location MRP or whether you want to create MRP areas for the storage locations that are planned separately. It is not possible to simultaneously plan a material using storage location MRP and an MRP area for the same storage location.
    If you decide to use MRP areas, you should then try to convert all storage locations that are planned separately to MRP areas in one step. Before you assign the material to an MRP area, you must remove the MRP indicator, which is located in the material master at the storage location organizational level (view MRP 4) in the screen area Storage location MRP.
    Even if you have defined MRP areas in Customizing, the system plans the materials in the plant MRP area until you assign the MRP areas to the materials.
    Only the assignment of one or more MRP areas to a material, by creating MRP area segments in the material master, actually cause changes in the material requirements planning.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to get processing time in RMI program

    Hi, all

    Can i test processing time using different type of protocol?You can use the same approach for testing connectivity for a range of protocols. However I suggest you run the tests many times if this is realistic for your use case.
    I have a performance comparison of many messaging and RMI solutions here [http://www.freshvanilla.org:8080/display/essence/Essence+Remote+Method+Invocation] under "What are similar libraries?"

  • MRP area for running a sale order MRP

    Hello PP experts,
    I come across a scenario where , I need to do the  MRP run for sale order in a MRP area. I have checked , I can put PIR with respect to MRP AREA , but when I open MD50 screen for running MRP for sale order. I did not found the MRP AREA
    field in the screen.
    In short , my question is , How the sale order MRP run ,  system will do in a MRP
    area defined for the material ?
    Here , I have already defined the material is MRP AREA and also I have created
    MRP area segment in the material master.
    I have also configured the MRP area in SPRO.
    Waiting for your reply.
    Regards,

    Hello ,
    Thanks for reply.
    I am using plant MRP area. For FERT , I am using make to order strategy 20.
    I want to specify the real problem. It is like below.
    Suppose 'A ' is sumassembly goes to a variant configured MTO KMAT say 'V'.
    The same 'A'  subassembly is a child for a make to stock FERT say ' S'.
    Presently  using strtegy 11 for MTS fert 'S' and 10 for the subassembly ---'A'.
    Now the planner want to plan for the subassembly.
    He is putting the PIR for the subassembly as sales order is not availble and he is putting the PIR for FERT 'S'.
    When sales order is coming then additinal quantity planning is happening.
    So I suggested to use the strategy 70 for subassembly 'A' , so the sales order (of 'V') OF  quantity will be offset for the PIR of the SUBASSEMBLY 'A'.
    But the consumption of PIR of 'A' will  be apllicable to MTS  FERT that is 'S'.
    So how can we prevent the system from offsetting the dependent requiremet triggered from the PIR of 'A'.
    That means the consumption  (that is the usage of stategy 70) of the FERT requirement should only work for ' A' and sales order based KMAT 'V'.
    The same offseting should not work for subassembly 'A' and MTS FERT 'S'.
    For for Make to order KAMT 'V' , if I use MRP area and do the sales order planning in MRP area. Will I get the desired result ?
    Waiting for reply.

  • MRP Area and SA Schedule Lines

    Hello All,
        We are looking at using MRP Areas and noticed it can not be turned off once on (ECC 5.0).  Given that, is the following true with reference to schedule agreements:
    - Will seperate schedule lines be created for each MRP Area (same material)?
    - Does the receiving storage location come from the material master or the MRP Area (Does it matter if it is a type 01 or type 02 MRP Area)?
    - Is it possible to define differen't receiving slocs in a schedule line for a Plant MRP Area?
    Thank you,
    Jerry

    Thank you Charlie,
        The link is helpful however it doesn't come straight out and answer the questions - meaning there is a bit of ambiguity there.
    It would be appreciated if you or anybody that is using MRP areas with schedule agreements is doing the above.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • High roll wait time, gui time and processing time

    Hi all,
    We are having a performance issue with the system at the moment. After running ST03N and STAD, we have determined that we are having abnormally high roll-wait, GUI and processing times.
    Here are some results from STAD:
    CPU time: 2956ms
    Processing time: 4417ms
    Roll wait time: 1319ms

    Can someone direct me towards finding the problem?
    If you need more information please let me know. I would post a screenshot if I was able to.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Regarding Performance Of SAP system it will not be possible to Come to conclusion with the one Single data.
    GUI time is basically the time spent in front end i.e Your Network load or such time
    Coming to CPU time Can you see ST06 what is the CPU Utilization of your system?
    Roll Wait time is the time Spent in buffer if you can share us the OS and Memory configuration.
    We can Try to tune the Roll memory ( extended memory tuning) so that we can try to reduce the Roll time.
    If possible try to find the Top Dialog Response Time Transaction Is it Standard or for Z Programs.

  • MRP Area Setting

    Hi, expert
    I have the following scenario:
    I got a transit sloc 1510 where goods will be backflush to this location first, then use mvt 311 to transfer to 1530 (fg whse) and 1520 (fg whse), and we want to seperate the material planning for 1530 and 1520.
    So, we use MRP area to do this:
    I set up 2 storage location MRP area: 1530, 1520
    sloc 1530 assigned to MRP area 1530, rec loc 1530
    sloc 1520 assigned to MRP area 1520, rec loc 1520
    Item A MRP4 setting:
    Production Version: Issue storage location: 1910, rec sloc: 1510
    Already assigned MRP area 1530 to this item A
    I created a sales order for ITEM A, in sales order, I specific the sloc 1530. Then I run MD02 using MRP area 1530. When I view the result in MD04, the rec loc for plan order is 1530 instead of 1510 (seems like MRP 4 production version setting is ignored).
    I try to add sloc 1510 in MRP area 1530 in SPRO, and then run MD04, the planned order rec loc becomes 1510, and this is what I want. But the problem is when I assign 1510 to MRP area 1520, system prompt error that 1510 already assign to other MRP area, it seems that only 1 sloc can be assigned to 1 MRP area, but based on my scenario, both 1520 and 1530 sharing 1 transit loc 1510, and I want the planning to be diff for 1520 and 1530, how should I proceed? how to configure MRP area?

    I only want to have 1 transit sloc 1510, all the goods will backflush to this sloc first, then later distribute to diff sloc. If follow what you said, I need to create multiple dummy storage location for each MRP area, If I have 8 MRP area, means 8 dummy sloc need to be created, this is not very practical and very hard to maintain.
    Any better suggestion?

  • Rounding value at MRP area level

    Hi All,
      We are using MRP areas at storage location level. Also we have maintained rounding value , one at plant level in mRP1 view and one at MRP area level for that particular storage location.
    Now when we run MRP for that storage location specific MRP area one would assume that it picks up the rounding value maintained in that MRp area,but it is picking up the value maintained at plant level.
    Am I missing some setting or is it std. system behaviour..pl. advise.
    Tks..kiran

    Hi Inguva
    Can you give more detail of your solution?  I have the same problem, MRP is creating requisitions using the lot size parameters from the MRP area but when converting to an STO using ME21N the lot size parameters from the plant are applied.
    This usually increases the PO quantity beyond the PR quantity and I get an error message "06076 - Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full"
    It's driving me crazy so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    1) Convert planning file entries - you must first convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to MRP area level in the planning file (OM0F)
    2) Activate MRP for MRP areas (Production ->MRP -> Master Data -> MRP areas -> Activate MRP for MRP areas)
    3) Define MRP areas
    4) Assign material to MRP areas in Material master MRP1 view
    The allocation to a storage location MRP area is made using the storage location that the system determines during the planning run. This is determined on the basis of the storage location entered in the BOM (BOM item), in the work center (production supply area), or in the production version or in the material master. This storage location must be included in the MRP area that you have assigned in the material master. In addition, it is necessary that the view "Storage 1" or "Storage 2" exists for this storage location in the material master.
    Sales orders are assigned to a MRP area depending on their storage location (the issue storage location in the shipping screen of the item details).

  • MRP Areas & shipments out of

    Once I create an MRP area what is the best practice around making shipments in SD "from" the MRP area and not the plant it resides in itself?
    Also if product is made within the plant iself the MRP area resides in vs outside STO ... what is the best practice on "transfering" the product from the plant to the MRP area (MRP area resides within the same plant).

    Thankyou.
    One last quesiton ... we are concerned about consuming "forecast" against the MRP area stock .... management is still asking how are sales orders to be entered "against" the MRP area so that forecast in demand plan is consumed?
    As it sounds the order entry is as normal eg by sold to, material, date, etc. and only real difference is that when you create your delivery and pick you retrieve stock from the MRP area location eg 1002 which decrements stock from it.
    As far as movements, it sounds like you can use location to location transfer postings to move stock between the plant locations and the MRP area location inside the plant and special procurement keys to move UB or NB Stock transports to the plant and then transfer to the MRP area.
    Your thoughts or guidance are appreciated as we've never used MRP areas and can't find much info on these areas anywhere.

  • MRP Area - Vendor Stock separate MRP

    Dear Experts,
    I would like to consult this solution.  Currently we have a standard Subcon PO (MM).  In this solution, we provide stocks to vendor via 543.  Now, business doesnt want the vendor stocks to be included during MRP.  How to set up?
    Can I use MRP Area  (subcon type) with this just like MRP Area for Slocs?
    Appreciate your help.  Thank you!

    I reckon the business wants to see all the stock acquired though purchase made in that MRP area. Since they seemed to concerned about planning and may want to ignore the stock ordered manually (you need to confirm this with business). You may have to create SQL query to report this.
    In the table EBAN, filter out all the values the field ESTKZ  = 'B' and BERID = your MRP area (if BERID is empty you need to input all the storage locations assigned to that MRP area)  and the field EBELN, EBELP, BSMNG contain the purchase order data created from the purchase requisition. You need to inner join that to the purchase order table, EKPO and inner join this to table EKBE (there you can find the material document also) and out put the quantity received.

    Optional analysis: If you just want to analyze all the stock per MRP area input all the storage locations in MB5B
