Issue in MRP re-order point

Hello SAP experts, hope you are well, i have i question, if i have implemented a reorder point planning in my materials is there a way that the planner can get an e-mail or notification that any of his materials has gone bellow the reorderpoint?? so that he can now know that there is a problem with that material, thank you in advance.

Hi,
I can think of 2 things which might be of help.
1. Use workflows to send mails
2. Use a z report to list out all re-order point planned materials with their stocks.
For option 1 you would need to refer to a workflow consultant who can set up the mailing (apologies i cant be of much help in this as i have not done it before).
For option 2, what you can do is ask your abaper to develop a Z report for your need. Ask him / her to read the material master data from MARC table & for all re-order planned materials read the field MARC-DISMM with value as VB (manual re-order point) or VM (auto re-order point) or if you have a custom mrp type, then read the same.
Now for each of the re-order planned materials, read the stock from MARD table & check if the stock is below the re-order point, if it is not below then you might choose not to display it, while displaying only those which are below.
Also if you need some additional info, the same can be displayed in the report. Now schedule the report to run every night after MRP run, so in the morning the planners can read the output & carry out their activities. Also they can run it during the day to get real-time info.
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vivek

Re: Config MRP , Re-order point

Can you please explain how to config MRP ,re-order point

hi,
re-order point planning is achieved through CBP.

Planning with Re-order point considering external requirements(MRP type V1)

Dear all,
We are working for a scenario as mentioned below,
We procure some marterial from our vendors, stock it and then sell to other customers.
Here we want to use Re order point planning considering external requirements , i.e. MRP type V1.
We have maintained following master data
MRP type = V1
Re order point quantity
Lot size = HB
Maximum stock level
Planned delivery time.
We have also created source list,Info record and scheduling agreement
We also maintained setting of schedule agreement in source list as 2 (Record relevant to MRP schedule lines generated automatically)
By doing above mentioned things when we run MRP we are getting schedule lines generated through MRP, for the lot size arrived by considering re order level,max. stock level etc.
My requirement is the schedule line that is coming through MRP should get firmed up, whcih is not happening currently.
Pl. guide as what other setting is required for getting firmed schedule lines.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi
Automatic firming of Schedule lines only possible with the settings of Planning time Fence (PTF) in MRP-1 view with MRP type which allows firming . With Standard MRP type V1 it is not possible.
As per my idea , better to create new MRP type in SPRO by copying V1 settings and give Firming type as 1 additionally. Use this new MRP type in the MRP-1 view and give Planning Time Fence say 30.
When u run MRP then the requirements falling within the PTF get firmed Automatically.
Pl try and revert back

Is possible to maintain MRP type as PD with re-order point?

Hi guru,
my user maintain material master of one raw material like this
MRP type : PD
Safety Stock : 1000
Lot Size : MB
Minimum Lot size : 3000
as they maintain safety stock 1000 , this will last long for 10 days and this material's lead time in purchasing for 12-15 day.
When they run for MRP and check in MD04. they give me requirement like this.
"when i run MRP, I want system to create PR when this material's stock fall under 3000"
So i suggest they to change from PD to VB for use re-order point . but they not agree with my suggest because they want to see dependent requirement list when check in MD04 and their reason is...
"My material usage can't predictable so i can't forecast"
when i suggest them to add re-order point to safety stock. as alway, they disagree.
so i think, is it possible to use PD or other type of MRP that show list of dependent requirement with able to use re-order point? if it's possible, How?
any suggestion is fine. point for useful answer
regards,
Kittisak.B

Dear,
If your user is willing to have requirement below 3000 then you should ask him to keep Safety stock as 3000 only & not 1000 because there is no meaning in keeping it 1000.You keep safety stock 3000 so as soon as stock is falling below 3000 system will generate procurement element ( requirement) in next MRP run.So even there is no need to maintain reorder point planning VB as MRP type as your user is not willing for it.
Else you can maintain VB and reorder point as 3000 which will also furnish you the same result.In that case safety stock has not much significance.However if you maintain safety stock more than or equal to reorder point then it will serve your purpose.There is no meaning putting it below reorder point.
Hope this helps resolve your problem.
Revert with more details in case any doubt.

Re-order point planning

Dear Sir,
We have configured Re-order point planning. Accordingly we have created
the MRP controller and updated the material master (812 materials) with
all the values required for re-order point planning.
With all these settings, system is not running planning after executing
MD01 (total planning), only planning start and stop time is displayed
as a result. Where as if I run single item, single level planning with
MD03 for the same material, system runs the planning and proposes the
purchase requisition also for that material.
Is the planning file creation is the solution of the issue...
if it is then how to create the planning file for bulk material (800 no approx). Do we need to do create the planning file again and again, if we want to add the mateail in Re-order point planning
Regards,
Sachin

Dear Mr Sachin,
For the materials that are relevant for re-order point planning, the planning file entry will be made automatically by the system when the stock level falls below the "Re-Order point".
Then in the next MRP run procurement proposals will be created for these materials.
Hence unless the stock level falls below the re order point, planning file entries will not be made & system will not create any proposal.

Ramasamy

Re order point checking suring MIGO

Hello Gurus,
This is a unique requirment I have come across.
On posting the reservation ( MIGO - Goods Issue ), if the quantity has reached the reorder point after saving, it should display a message below, MATERIAL TO BE ORDERED.
For example:
Material code - 198345
Re order point in material master - 2
Stock before posting - 4
Reservation qty - 3
So once we do the posting, the stock will come down to 1. As this is below the re order point, display a message below, MATERIAL TO BE ORDERED.
Regards,
Narendra Bora

Narendra,
You need to work with a workflow expert to get this done in SAP. To my knowledge it is mostly possible in SAP, if not immediately after GI in MIGO.. the workflow can be triggered to MRP controller when the stock goes below re-order point.
You can post this requirment to ABAP team to get better response,

Prasobh

Sales Order BOM(Usage 5)-Manual re order point VB-No BOM Explode-MD02

Hi Guru's,
I have typical requirement from my client.
Requirement is as follows.
1)There is no Production in the Plant, so NO PP module.
2)All parts are like Kit, Purchase will be Component wise and at the time of Sales, Sales will assemble(Sales BOM)
3)Requirement should trigger from Manual re order point-VB
4)Am using Material type HAWA-Trading Material
5)I have changed Usage type 5 as Production and sales, because system should Explode the BOM at MD02 and as well it should use in Sales order.
Problem is
1)If i Set MRP type PD, Strategy 10, and Demand from MD61 then system is exploding BOM and giving PLanned order and PR
2)If i set MRP type VB or V1, No strategy and Requirement should arrise from Safety stock and re order point, system wont Exploding in MD02 for Component level(child part)
Please give me advise on this issue.
Thanks,
VR

Hi Karthi,
Currently Stock is Zero and my reorder point is 10 and safety stock 5 for Parent and same this is applicable for child part.
Yes , For Parent material system generating Requirements but not exploding BOM(Child part)
Thanks,
VR

Regarding Goods Reversal and Goods Issue process for Production orders

Hi,
I have a issue regarding Goods Reversal and Goods Issue process for Production orders.
Actually I am having a Z - Function Module in that i am passing production order number other details to
make the Goods Reversal happen.
The code for the above is as below:
 i_mvtit-material = wa_mdfa-matnr.
 i_mvtit-plant = i_resb-werks.
 i_mvtit-spec_stock = 'Q'. "New
 i_mvtit-stge_loc = 'ZWIP'.
 i_mvtit-stge_type = i_resb-lgtyp. "New
 i_mvtit-batch = i_resb-charg. "New
 i_mvtit-orderid = i_resb-aufnr.
 i_mvtit-spec_stock = i_resb-sobkz.
 i_mvtit-entry_qnt = i_resb-enmng.
 i_mvtit-entry_uom = i_resb-erfme.
 i_mvtit-entry_uom_iso = i_resb-meins. "New
 i_mvtit-wbs_elem = v_frwbs.
 i_mvtit-move_type = '262'.
 i_mvtit-xstob = 'X'.
 i_mvtit-gr_rcpt = i_resb-aufnr. "New
 i_mvtit-reserv_no = i_resb-rsnum.
 i_mvtit-res_item = i_resb-rspos.
 APPEND i_mvtit.
* HEADER ELEMENTS
 k_gmvt_code-gm_code = '03'.
 k_gmvt_head-pstng_date = sy-datum.
 k_gmvt_head-doc_date = sy-datum.
* CREATE GOODS MOVEMENTS
 CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
 EXPORTING
 goodsmvt_header = k_gmvt_head
 goodsmvt_code = k_gmvt_code
 TABLES
 goodsmvt_item = i_mvtit
 return = i_return.
The Above code does the Goods Reversal but then i will update one Z Table with fields like
Production Order Number[AUFNR], Number of Reservation[RSNUM], Item Number of Reservation [RSPOS], Material Number [MATNR], Requirement Quantity [BDMNG], WBS element[PSPNR] etc. If Above BAPI runs sucessfully.
That is happening correctly.
But Then actual issue is i have do Goods Issue for those Z-Table records.
There i will give Production order Number's & Storage Location in Selection-Criteria.
Then i need to do Goods Issue for that order.
The code i had written as follows.
* POPULATE VALUES FOR BAPI CALL
 i_mvtit-material = i_zpsi7603_01-matnr.
 i_mvtit-plant = i_resb-werks.
 i_mvtit-spec_stock = 'Q'. "New
 i_mvtit-stge_loc = p_sloc.

 i_mvtit-entry_uom = i_resb-erfme.
 i_mvtit-entry_uom_iso = i_resb-meins. "New
 i_mvtit-wbs_elem = v_frwbs.
 i_mvtit-move_type = c_261.
 i_mvtit-mvt_ind = 'F'. "New
 i_mvtit-xstob = c_x.
 i_mvtit-gr_rcpt = i_resb-aufnr. "New
 i_mvtit-reserv_no = i_resb-rsnum.
 i_mvtit-res_item = i_resb-rspos.
 APPEND i_mvtit.
* HEADER ELEMENTS
 k_gmvt_code-gm_code = c_03.
 k_gmvt_head-pstng_date = sy-datum.
 k_gmvt_head-doc_date = sy-datum.
* CREATE GOODS MOVEMENTS
 CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
 EXPORTING
 goodsmvt_header = k_gmvt_head
 goodsmvt_code = k_gmvt_code
 TABLES
 goodsmvt_item = i_mvtit
 return = i_return.
 CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
 EXPORTING
 wait = c_x.
 READ TABLE i_return INDEX 1.
 IF i_return-type EQ c_s.
 DELETE FROM zpsi7603_01 WHERE aufnr = i_resb-aufnr AND
 rsnum = i_resb-rsnum AND
 rspos = i_resb-rspos.
 ENDIF.
If i run above code for Goods Issue it is giving error can anybody tell me what changes i need to do to make it work.
The Error Message i am getting is as below:
Qty and / or "delivery completed" ind. or final issue ind. are missing
Error Number for the above is : 264.
Can anybody solve my issue.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi,
Thanks boss.
It is working now correctly.
The issue is the i_mvtit-XSTOB should be equal space in case of Goods issue while incase of Reversal it should be equal to X.
Thanks for ur efforts.
I had awarded you points.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Re-order point VB vs V1

Dear SAP expert,
I have confusion about the difference of VB (manual re-order point) and V1 (manual re-order point WITH external requirement).
I have this material A
Max stock level = 100
re-order point = 50
stock = 30
Reservation = 50 (today)
lot size = HB
Using VB, I understand that it always create PR = 70, as SAP will try to reach max stock level,
But using V1, it also create PR = 70, when I thought it shoud create PR of 70 + 50 = 120 (reaching max stock level and to satisfy requirement, where as I understand V1 should take external requirement).
As it create PR = 70, it seems that there is no difference between VB and V1.
However IF I increate the reservation to be 51, and running the MRP, i got PR = 71, and when I increase reservaton to be 60, and running the MRP, I got PR = 60.
It seems that IF reservation > re-order point, then SAP will increate the PR quantity, in which I dont really understand the logic used in here.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Best regards,
John

Hi JJ,
Each MRP type is defined under each MRP procedure.PD is defined with MRP procedure 'D' (Material Requirement planning) and VB is defined with MRP procedure B (Reorder point Planning).

Re-order point...

Hi,
What is different between manual and automatic re order point..? and which scenerios we can use manual and automatic re order point..?
Thnaks & Regards,
Senthil S

Hi,
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master. As long as the available stock is fallen down the reorder point, then system will generate the purchasing requisition after MRP-Run
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program. The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master. Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
That's it. Hope can help you!
Good day

Re-order point - PD vs VB

Hello
How MRP will perform for re-order point , for example i want to use PD instead of VB .What will be the effect ? . Any SAP Recommendation , OSS notes will be highly appreciated

Re-order Point Planning -- PR

Dear Team,
I have created a Purchase Requisition manually. Same is not being considered for MRP run for re-order point planning.
System is creating new Purchase Requisition when i run MRP.
Where we have gone wrong?
Thanks and Regards,
RC

Dear Chakrapani,
MRP is considering Manually Created PR for one plant. And not considering for some other plant. If Manually created PR are not considered then you will end up in Procuring More material than required.

Pre-order points missing and pre-ordering problems at the store level.

Hi
During the week of July 6th-July 12 there was an ad for pre-ordering certain movies and getting 100 bonus points for each movie. On July 12th I pre ordered Rio 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2, and Transformers:AOE (Steelbook edition). The employee was able to successfully pre-order Rio 2 using the provided in store pre order card but had difficultly pre ordering Spiderman 2 and Transformers. Rio 2 and Spiderman 2 had set release dates while at that time Transformers did NOT have a release date until recently. These pre-orders were done in three different transactions.
Picking up Rio 2 on 7/15 was not a problem. The employee did an exchange in the system. The 100 bonus points never posted.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 had a lot of problems. The employee thought I already bought it and picked it up on 7/12 when I went to pick it up on 8/19 (the release date). At the time of the pre order purchase, there was no announcement of the BB exclusive Magno pack for the same price as the regular blu ray release. Again the employee did a return/rebuy. This employee also stated that the employee who processed the pre-orders Spiderman and Transformers did it incorrectly since it looks like she did it as a normal transaction instead of a pre-order. The points have yet to be posted.
Transformers: AOE (Steelbook edition) now has an official release date of 9/30. My question is will the system allow for employee to process the pre-order pick up since it is outside of the 45 day window? I am hoping it won't be but seeing how the employees have been processing pre-orders incorrectly when picking them up I expect problems when doing so.
I have also noticed a price drop for transformers (6760435) from the time I pre-ordered it on 7/12. Will the employees be able to adjust the price and give me the difference?
Not all stores carry the pre-order cards making this a difficult process for everyone (it takes me on average 30 minutes to pick up 1 pre-order instead of in and out within 5 mins like usual) because someone didn't do it correctly the first time. So my question is, how should employees process a pre-order if there is NO Pre-Order card in store?? I would love to continue to pre-order at best buy, but am getting tired of having employees screw up my pre-order.

Hello ITDEFX101,
Pre-ordering your movies during these 100 My Best Buy™ Bonus Point promotions is a great way to ensure that you are able to get your hands on some great movies as soon as possible after release, while simultaneously earning extra points. It is regrettable to hear that your pre-order experience with Rio 2 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 were not as smooth as we strive for these processes to be, and in the end, you state you didn’t even get the bonus points you expected.
Using the information you registered with the forum, I was able to review your pre-orders for all three movies, as well as your My Best Buy™ account. Sadly, it does appear that there may have been some issues with your pre-orders, and I would like to address these with you privately, especially concerning your pre-order for Transformers: Age of Extinction. I am sending you a private message, which you may view once you’ve signed into the forum and clicked the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

Suppression of Re-Order Point Safety Stock Exception Messages

Hi There!
Hope someone can help!?
I need to be able to suppress MRP Exception Message 96 - Qty Under Safety Stock but for PD Only.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Karl

Hi There!
We have lots of Raw materials controlled by MRP Type PD, which have Safety Stock Value.
However, quite often although the actual stock is lower than the Safety stock Planners have lots of messages (96 - Below safety stocks). However, although Purchase order reciepts may be late, there isn't actually a problem. As When the PO Reciepts actually happen there is enough stock to satisfy actual demand.
We would like to put many of these Raw materials on Re-Order Point Planning, and manage. But we would like to ignore the (96 - Below Safety Stock) for Normal Items.
Hence, Planners have exception messages for REAL Priorities.
Hope this explains all!
Cheers,
Karl

Regarding Re-order point

Dear Friends ,
I am looking for information on following scenario .
Client is into after sales service .
While servicing any machine, engineer requires a new product or refurbished product to replace a defective one.
There is a central plant ( main store) which holds new products and refurbished products . Based on replinishment order ( Stock transport orders ) raised by
MRP in engineer plant , central plant will dispatch the materials to engineer location. Engineer consumes the product during his service and MRP will check re-order point and set back the stock by generating requirement.
MRP will replinish all the components which fall below reorder point.
While servicing engineer may use New product or defective product depending on the situation . In those cases which ever products are consumed , MRP will replenish .
Our Client requires a new rule to be set in MRP , ie , combination of New Product and Refurbished Product goes below Re-order point , then replinish the required products from Main store based on availability.
This is basically to control usage of refurbished products .
Is there any way to achieve the same ?
Thanking You ,
Sudhakar

Hi YMREDDY ,
Thanks for your response .
Is there any other way it can be handled ?
Any new proposal !
Thanking You ,
