How to assign materials to MRP Area
Dear All,
How to assign materials to MRP Area
Thanking you
Regards
Prashant
Hi
Go to SPRO
Production Planning>>>> Master Data>>> MRP AREAS>>>Define MRP Areas, Create New MRP AREA
Then come to Material Master ( MM02)
Go to MRP1 view
In this Tab, Go to MRP AREAS BUTTON
Here you can assign the MRP AREA to that material
For any other info, Plz revert

In scope of planning ( md01), How to maintain MRP areas in scope of plg?
Hello PP members,
In scope of planning ( md01), How to maintain plant or MRP areas in scope of planning ?
What is the transaction code for maintaining plants or MRP areas in the scope of planning
I tried transaction code SAMP, Also went to SE93( Maintain transaction) for any related transaction codes for maintaining plants in scope of planning, it wasn't much help
Thanks for your time,
Thanks Again,
Suren RHi,
we can use Total planning(MD01) for a single plant or use scope of planning to control whether total planning is to be carried out for single plant/sevaral plant/ for one MRP Area/sevaral MRP areas/ combination of plant and MRP Areas.
Steps :
1.Group together the plants which are to be planned in spro in --->Define scope of planning.(OM0E)
2. Define the scope of planning as 999 for ex and give description.
2. Now select that and Specify the sequence in which Plants and MRP Areas are to be planned,
3.Goto new entries and enter the plant as 1000/MRP Area as 1000 with counter 1 and plant as 1100 with counter 2 and save.
4.Execute the total planning either as online job or as background job.
5.The planning run has to be always started with paralle processing.
In SPRO in define parallel processing in MRP enter the destination for parallel processing for ex your server name and enter the no .of sessions as 1 and save.
6.Tcode MD01 enter the scope of planning group and selet the parallel processing and enter.
7. All the materials to be planned in the plant / mrp area will be planned now.

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls tell me the Procedure/steps/Details to maintain MRP-area for a Vendor & also for a Sub-Contractor.
Any comments welcome & Thanks in advancHi,
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.

Creating Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area.
Hi All,
I am trying to enter Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area, with requirement type VSE and I get the following error;
"Only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level".
I can enter at the Plant level with no problems.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Kevin.The following is the excerpt from SAP [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/81/470a58ddab11d1b55b0000e82de178/frameset.htm] I think you maintained a planning strategy in the MRP view (for the plant) which doesn't support VSE.
You can delete PIRs from an MRP area by deleting the MRP area number from the Creating Planned Independent Requirements screen and recompiling.
When you define the planning strategies and parameters in the material master, these parameters apply to the whole plant, including all the MRP areas within the plant: You cannot maintain the MRP areas separately.
The integration of the MRP area and the assignment of the MRP area in the sales order is supported only by a user exit in the sales and distribution user exit pool.
Sales orders with MRP areas are created irrespective of the availability check control group in the material master.
Customer order processing of production sales orders with the item category (account assignment Step E Single) is only maintained in the MRP area of the plant.
In Customizing and in the MRP area user exit, make sure that when transferring individual sales orders, only requirements types KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE are generated.
The following requirements types are valid for the MRP area: KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE.
You cannot plan with preliminary planning materials in the MRP area.
There is no planning strategy for the material segment of the MRP area.
The planning strategy for the material master segment of the plant is assigned to the material segment of the MRP area.
The consumption mode and the periods of adjustment are derived from the plant in the MRP area of the material master.
Only consumption customer requirements with planned independent requirements are allowed: VSF requirements with KSV and VSFB with KSV. -
Stock Transport from plant to MRP Area
I have been looking for explanation on how to handle replenishment of MRP area storage location stocks within a plant. We use Special procurement types but they are set up on for plants, not MRP areas. Can anyone explain how this works and the configuration to make it work? Were setting up a warehouse as an MRP area and need to replenish its stocks with MRP.
Aren't your questions answered in SAP online help?
Integration
The process is the same as for Storage Location MRP. In contrast to the storage location MRP, you can use all MRP procedures and are not limited to the reorder point planning procedure.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for MRP, you have created the special procurement key for Stock transfer from plant to MRP area for the plant in which the MRP area is located. You have defined the following parameters:
- Procurement type: F for External procurement
- Special procurement: U for Stock transfer
- Plant: Number of plant, to which the MRP area belongs.
In the material master, you have created the MRP area segment and assigned the special procurement key Stock transfer from plant to MRP area.
Features
During MRP, the system generates a stock transfer reservation for the material in the MRP area and a material reservation in the plant MRP area.
The external procurement storage location that you have entered in the MRP area segment of the material master is used as the receiving storage location. If you have not maintained this field, the system uses the receiving storage location that you entered for the MRP area in Customizing.
The actual procurement is processed by the plant. With stock transfer to the MRP area, you carry out the transfer posting for the material with reference to the reservation.
Standard procurement key 45 is for that purpose: plant: 1000 (V460A-WERKS), procurement key F; special procurement: U; plant: 1000 (V460A-WRK02).
So, in both fields you have to write the same plant as it is clearly written in SAP onilne help.
As SAP help says: a Stock transfer reservation is created. Using MIGO (A08; R09) you can post the goods movement by mvt 311 with reference to the Stock transfer reservation (MB1A is also good).
Why don't you test in in your sandbox system and you will see how it works.
(If you want to use STO (purchasing document type UB) in this process you have to go trough OSS note 599915)

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? -
Linking SLoc and MRP Areas in Supply Area
Hi All,
I recently moved one production line from one plant to an other one. This new line is feeded with Water from a separated tank. I would like to be able to see the requirement of water coming from the new line and stock in this tank separatelely from the "other" Water to be able to know how much water we have to supply to this separated tank.
Based on, what we are asking for is a new storage location equivalent to the separated tank (for stock and consumption) and a new MRP are (to be able to differentiate between demand).
this is the situation am going on right now, i think the above subject is what am i thinking the best solution on this situation, can anyone help me guide to work on this. thank you!Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

Please refer following for some help
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.

Hi All,
I would like to clarify a doubt regarding MRP Area concept.
1. MRP Area at Storage Loc level:
What's the main advantage of this? i have gone through the documentation and
understood how to configure it, but in a real scenario how its useful?
For example: I have finished part: A which has components B, C & D. If i assign
the stor.loc X MRP area to B & C not D and run the MRP on A, how system
will react?
I am not able to understand how it's beneficial in real scenario?
Can some body help me out? i understand how it's useful for MRP Area for Sub-Con coz it will plan seperately for individual sub-con's..
Thanks and looking forward for your valuable hints and answers,
ChandraThe procedure is made clearer in the following example:
Assembly A is produced on production line 1. Components B and C, which are procured externally, are necessary for the production and are withdrawn from storage location 0001.
You can represent this situation in the system as follows:
You create an MRP area of the storage location type for storage location 0001 in Customizing for MRP. You assign the MRP area to storage location 0001.
You assign this MRP area to the components B and C in the respective material master records by creating an MRP area segment. You enter storage location 0001 in the Storage loc. for EP field in the MRP area segment, as this is also to be the receiving storage location for the components.
You create a production version for production line 1 in the material master for assembly A. In this production version, you enter storage location 0001 as the issue storage location for the components.
In the planning run, the system calculates the dependent requirements for components B and C and determines the issuing storage location 0001 using the production version. This enables the assignment of the dependent requirements to the MRP area for storage location 0001. When the system determines the procurement elements for B and C, it reads the external procurement storage location and uses this as the receiving storage location. This is also storage location 0001 so the procurement elements are assigned to the MRP area for storage location 0001. You can use this procedure to selectively plan the components that you require on the production line.
If you do not work with production versions, you can also enter the issue storage location for the components in the BOM, in the work center using the supply area, or in the Issue stor. location field in the MRP data of the material master record

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 -
MRP Area Wise Run for Sales Requirenment
Greetings..
I have two raw material (Trading).....in MRP view i defines these material under MRP area ...(Respective setting done in SPRO)
Now i created sales order for these Raw material .
Now in MD04 ...i m getting requirement but under plant....if i choose MRP area i m not getting Requirement...so if i try MD01 ...under MRP i m not getting Result of MRP..
I need two Run MRP only for MRP area which assigned to Raw material in Material Master
i m using Startegy 40..
What else setting i have to do for getting Run with MRP area (MD01)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). -
Subcontract MRP Area with quota usage - urgent
We have a subcontractor supplying assembly X which in turn require us to supply component Y to the subcontractor. We have two vendor for supplying component Y to subcontractor. Scheduling agreement with component vendors are set up for direct delivery to subcontractor. Both the scheduling agreements are included in the source list with MRP indicator 2. Quota arrangement is set up for the component.
We have set subcontractor MRP area and assigned the same to component Y material master. Special procurement key 20 is assigned in subcontractor MRP area. Quota usage and source list are duly enabled. Quota usage indicator is 3 which provides for MRP, PR, schedule line etc.,
When we run MRP ffor component Y for subcontract MRP area, system is generating schedule line for but without update quota file. Further, the scheduling agreement picked up is not of the correct vendor as per Quota logic.
Does SAP support quota usage with subcontract MRP area. If not, is there a work around.
Shall appreciate urgent responseDear Ravi,
you will get a seperate location product for your material. MRP areas in apo are represented by a seperate location (type 1007 = storage location mrp area). You can transfer your ecc mrp areas via cif (CFM1). The master data you maintain in mrp section of the material master in R/3 will be trasfered to that location product. Furthermore you can maintain it manually in apo MAT1 (location = name of your mrp area). That technique provides you the possibility to maintain different parameters for the plant and the mrp area.
Kind regards,
