LSMW errow : Enter MRP type

Hi,
AM getting a LSMW error while uploading to forcasting view for total consumption value.
LSMW log shows Enter MRP type.
Thanks
Mit

Hi Amresh,
You might have missed to enter mandatory field MRP type in Flat File. Better make a column for MRP type for all materials and proceed.

MRP type & planning time fence

Hello.
When I enter MRP type at MM01, error message comes up;
"The MRP type requires you to specify a planning time fence."
This check is not necessary for us.
Please teach me how to deactive this check.
Thank you in advance.
Emma S

Thank you for your reply.
To Vijay
I can't use PD because we run MRP on this material.
I want to know how to prevent these MRP type from requiring Time fence.
To Maria Nunez
Firming type of the MRP type is set "0(Planning results not firmed)".
Both ex-R/3 (Enterprise) and new R/3 (ECC 6.0) are set same.
But only ECC 6.0 requiring Time fence.
Any other customise affects??
To R.Brahmankar
This errror message (M3/097) is not set at transaction code OCHS, OMT4 and OMCQ.
If it was set, I would change the message type...
Thank you and regard.

Schedule Lines not generated for MRP Type PD

HI All,
I have created Schduling Agreement, maintained Source List with MRP Relevant - 2 option and maintained Vendor as Fix, maintained info record.
I have created a material with MRP type as PD and lot size as EX, and strategy group as MTS. Now when i enter requirement through MD61 and do MRP Run through MD02, system is generating PR instead of Del Schdule line inspite of schduling agreement.
But If i change MRP type to VB and maintain reorder point and maintain min lot size, then system generates Del Schdule lines for the same material.
What could be the reason. I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD.
Where I am wrong in MRP Views or in any cutomization. It seems that purchasing part is fine since it creats scudles line so no problem in SA or in Source List.
Please help

Vikas

Hi Vikas,
After being thru with your query,i would like to reply your ultimate question"I want delivery schedules based on MRP Type PD"
Simple answer:put parameter 'delivery schedule line' as '3'(schedule lines in opening period) without simulation mode.
Please make sure you don't make any change with previous settings(custom)
please get it done and revert.

MRP Type V1, VB, or PD.

I am loking to maintain MM02 MRP Type and maintain re-order point at 0.
MRP Type V1 & VB are not allowing me to enter 0 as a re-order point value.
I am in a simple distribution environment where finished goods are purchased and issued with no sales or production requirements.
I would like to run MRP and generate Purchase Requisitions for items with re-order points.
I am also looking to maintain the Material Master for items that are not required to have re-order points but may need to be ordered in future.
The current MRP Type is: V1 with Lot Size: HB.
Therefore I am unable to change Re-Order point to 0.
What is the best setting for this enviroment to maintaint the Material Master and have re-order point of 0?
Thank you,
Tim

Hi Tim!
Your question is related to MRP module of ERP, however, this space is dedicated to SAP ME and MII solutions. Thus you'd rather re-post the question to a proper forum - this might help you find the right one.

MRP type VB

Dear All,
Please someone suggest me why should we use VB and to maintain safety stock for materials which is having longer lead time?
Thanks,
Rinky

Hi,
VB is the MRP TYPE for consumption based planning. Please go through the below for understanding the CBP and safety stock.
In consumption-based planning, the following MRP procedures are available:
Reorder point procedure
Forecast-based planning
Time-phased materials planning
Reorder Point Planning
Use
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
Features
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
Safety stock
Average consumption
Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
Vendor/production delivery timelines
Service level to be achieved
Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
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.
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.
Forecast-Based Planning
Use
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
Time-Phased Planning
Use
If a vendor always delivers a material on a particular day of the week, it makes sense to plan this material according to the same cycle, in which it is delivered.
Features
Materials that are planned using the time-phased planning technique are provided with an MRP date in the planning file. This date is set when creating a material master and is re-set after each planning run. It represents the date on which the material is to be planned again and is calculated on the basis of the planning cycle entered in the material master.
The net change planning indicator and the net change planning horizon indicator are irrelevant for materials planned using the time-phased planning procedure. The system does not therefore set these if changes are made in the planning run.
If you want to plan a material earlier than the specified MRP date, you can enter an MRP date during the planning run. For example, if the planning run is set for Monday, you can bring it forward to Saturday instead.
If you use the SAP Retail System, the system proposes the planning cycle from the vendor sub-range when you create a material master record. The vendor sub-range contains all the goods of a particular vendor that, from a logistical view, can be planned similarly.
Time-phased planning can be executed using consumption-based planning or MRP:
If you want to carry out time-phased planning using consumption-based planning techniques, the requirements have to be created using the material forecast. If you use consumption-based planning, only the forecast requirements are included in the net requirements calculation. For reducing the forecast requirements, you can choose the same settings in Customizing as used for forecast-based planning.
If you want to carry out time-phased planning using MRP, all the requirements that are relevant to MRP are included in the net requirements calculation. For this purpose, the indicator Time-phased with requirements must have been selected in the MRP type. The forecast requirements can also be taken into account in this process.
Safety Stock Calculation
The safety stock depends on the service level that you specified in the MRP II view of the material master record and on the accuracy of the forecast. The more accurate the forecast, the smaller your safety stock can be.
The following figure shows that, without safety stock, customer demand can be satisfied by 50%. It also shows that it is almost impossible to satisfy customer demand 100% of the time. Factor R describes the relationship between forecast accuracy and service level (SL).
If replenishment lead time is greater than the forecast period by factor W, then the mean absolute deviation (MAD) is recalculated for this period (formula 17). The MAD is a parameter of forecast accuracy. Otherwise, see formula 18.
Safety Stock (SS) Formulas
If the material is produced in-house, the delivery time is: opening period + in-house production time + goods receipt processing time. It is expressed in workdays. The forecast period is taken from the material master record and is also expressed in workdays.
If the material is procured externally, the delivery time is: goods receipt processing time + planned delivery time + goods receipt processing time. It is expressed in calendar days. The forecast period is taken from the material master record and is also expressed in calendar days.
The safety stock calculation may lead to rounding effects.
Minimum Safety Stock
You can specify a minimum safety stock. If the result of the safety stock calculation is lower than this limit, the safety stock is then automatically set to this minimum value. You enter the minimum safety stock in the material master record (the MRP 2 screen).

MRP for MRP type VB

Hi,
In order to run MRP for the materials related to consumption based planning (VB) in transaction MDBT / MD01 i have followed below link and activated user exit but when i run MRP, it is considering even MRP type PD. When we try to put break point in debug mode program is not considering this exit itself. Has anyone has implemented this exit? Let me know the correct procedure.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32041
Regards / US

Dear Uma good morning.
I will have to agree with what Mariano is saying and i will take it a little bit further.
Some time ago, in my company we were asked to implement an MRP solution where MRP should run with specific settings (different than what stands for all other materials) for only 2 MRP controllers. We followed the procedure Mariano describes but with one addition.
At the lowest part of the MD01 screen, there are two boxes, User Exit Keys and User Exit Parameters. In the first box we entered the User Exit Key we created (using Mariano's procedure) and in the box User Exit Parameters we entered "IEQ(MRPcontroller1)/IEQ(MRPcontroller2). IEQ stands for "Include Equal". So, whenever MRP was running with this variant, it was running only for the materials that belong to these two specific controllers.
Of course, you will have to also change your standard MRP variant, by writing to the User Exit Parameters box "EEQ(mrpcontroller1)/EEQ(mrpcontroller2). EEQ stands for "Exclude Equal. This way, your MRP when running on this second variant it will run only for the resto of the materials, excluding (not running again in other words) the materials of the first variant.
You can find the document which describes the complete procedure here (it also describes the steps Mariano is talking about):

MRP Type V1 - Does it create Exception Message for "Reschedule-in"?

Hello Experts,
We are using MRP Type V1 (Which has the Manual Re-Order Planning + External Requirements). However we are facing and issue with the Rescheduling part. Scenario is as following:
Material ROP is - 5000
Open Pur Ord is - 5000 (due in 01 June'09) based on the Std Lead time of the Material
Stok on hand is - 0
At this point a Sales Order is entered for 1000 pcs
After MRP Run, we expect an Exception Message for the Purchase Order to have "Reschedule-in". But, instead, system creates a PReq for 1000 pcs and the required date is NOT the Sales Order required Date but based on the Std Lead Time of the Material.
I have set the Material Lead time - 60 Days
I have set the Reschedule horizon - 0 Days ( I even tried with different Days but NO use)
However, when I change the MRP Type to PD, system generates a "Reschedule-in" Exception Message for the Purchase Order.
How can I get the "Reschedule-in" Exception Message for the Purchase Order with the MRP Type V1?
Thanks for your help in Advance!

Anil,
Reorder point/External MRP performs net requirements calculation (within replenishment lead time). If the existing firmed supply elements minus the existing requirements bring the projected stock below ROP, it will propose an order that will bring the projected stock back to reorder point. The proposal will generally come at replenishment lead time.
In the normal business cycle, your sales order would confirm to lead time, and you now have a confirmed sales requirement at lead time, plus a new purchase req to bring the stock back to the reorder point. The scenario you have described is working exactly as it is designed. Consumption based MRP will not normally try to reschedule supply elements to match requirements inside of lead time.
Rescheduling horizon generally is counted from the end of lead time. It won't help you here.
I guess if you insist on having a reschedule message, you could change your lead time to 0 days. Not a wise move in my opinion. You then have locked yourself in your choices of types of Sales order availability checks into one that ignores lead time. You also have to find a way to let your buyers/planners know what the 'real' lead time is when they place their orders on the vendors.
I don't know why you are using a consumption-based planning type (reorder point). It sounds like your business requirements are that you actually need to be using a demand-type planning method (eg, your supply elements are driven by your demand, not by a reorder point/desired stock level). If PD works the way you want, why aren't you using it?

MRP Type VV - Forecast Based Planning

Hi all,
My company would like to look at MRP Type "VV" - Forecast Based Planning (under Consumption-based Planning) for FG production materials.    I've read quite a bit about the concept and some based set up to how it works.   We would like to base Planned Orders > Production Orders based on this type of forecast planning.   It seem that SAP advises this kind of plannig for Raw Materials but not FG.   Anyway, what I really need to know are the specifics of how you set up the master data (in the Material Master) to properly execute this type of MRP: like....
MRP Type: VV
Lot Size: EX
Period Ind: W
Availability Check: 02
Forecast Period:   12
Periods per Season: 12
Historical periods: 60
other fields I'm not sure......
RP Profile: ??
Forecat Profile: ??
what else......?
Also, what is the recommended approach to convert this forecast plan into Planned requirements to be converted to Production Orders?
I appreciate any further information I can get on MRP Type "VV" and how it works.   I appreciate your input!

Thanks for the info nudratmaab.    Can you provide further data on what to expect given this forecast.....say I pick MVGA (Moving Average Forecast)? So I enter some consumption (say last 12 months) and run forecast (MP38).    The MD04 shows the average requirement per "W" bucket:
02/23/2012     ForReq     W 08/2012                16-
02/27/2012     ForReq     W 09/2012               116-
03/05/2012     ForReq     W 10/2012               116-
03/12/2012     ForReq     W 11/2012               116-
03/19/2012     ForReq     W 12/2012               116-
03/26/2012     ForReq     W 13/2012               116-
04/02/2012     ForReq     W 14/2012               116-
04/09/2012     ForReq     W 15/2012               116-
04/16/2012     ForReq     W 16/2012               116-
04/23/2012     ForReq     W 17/2012               116-
04/30/2012     ForReq     W 18/2012               116-
05/07/2012     ForReq     W 19/2012               116-
The next part is where it is a little foggy for me.   For "VV" do I run WRP1 (Replenishment) or do I run MD02/ 03 (MRP) and then what is the ForReq converted to (or does it even convert)?   I'm looking to implement this for Production Planning Requirements for Finished Produced products (I need them to convert to PldOrd (Planned Orders) to be converted to PrdOrd (Production Orders) by production scheduler.
The second part of this is the Raw Material (BOM component) associated with these Finished Goods. THese BOM components are set up as MRP Type "PD" and Lot size "EX" and I was hoping that the FG MRP run would also do BOM explosion and drive requirements for the Raw Material as well.....I'm not seeing that.
I need professional / expert to tell me how this works:    So MRP Type "VV" & Lot Size "EX" for the Finished Goods.......and MRP TYpe "PD" & Lot Size "EX" for the Raw Material (BOM Component).....
THanks again!!

MRP Types

First a disclaimer - I'm by no means an SAP expert. My background is in purchasing and materials management. I'm just trying to get SAP to do what my client needs!
Here's the scenerio. My client does not want to use safety stocks. They are looking for an MRP type that allows for a reorder point to be entered manually, and where on hand quantities, on order quantities, and current requirements are considered to trigger a purchase by the buyers. In addition, they want to use MD06 and MD04 to expedite shortages when current requirements exceed on-hand quantities.
PD requires a safety stock and prompts the buyers to expedite purchase orders even when there is existing, available, inventory - just because they are below safety stock.
VB doesn't seem to alert the buyers to current requirements as long as there is enough on order.
I'm looking at using Lot Size HB, and have considered V1 MRP Type, but wanted to consult with the experts here first.
Thanks in advance,
Ned

Hi NedtheRed,
MRP type is to assign the procedure to be used to plan a material and to control which MRP parameters can be maintained for the material in the material master record.
You can check purpose of each MRP type at configuration in SPRO

Please go through the documentation available there.

LSMW with IDOC Message type COND_A and Basic type COND_A01

Hi Sap All.
in my project we using the LSMW with IDOC Message type COND_A and Basic type COND_A01 and now the requirement is to know the list of the tables which will be updated when i do the LSMW Migration with this IDOC Basic type.
i have tried to know the list of the tables updated by entering into the transaction we30 and looking at the segments E1KOMG,E1KONH, E1KONP,E1KONM,E1KONW and i found that the following below are the list of tables which gets updated when i populate the data into IDOC Message type COND_A and Basic type COND_A01.
KOMG,KONH,KONP,KONM,KONW.
please correct me if iam wrong.
regards.
Varma

Hi Varma,
The tables mentioned by you definitely get updated, i guess you can add KONV to the list too, but to be a 100% sure, enable SQL trace and process an IDOC. Then you can look for Insert/Modify/Update statements to get a list of the tables that get updated.

MRP Type is grayed out in the material master

Hi all,
I am creating material on my own.The thing is that the MRP type is grayed out in the MRP 1 view.I want to maintain the MRP type. Can any one help
Regards
Mano

Dear Mano
You have not specified which field you want to edit / maintain data. Anyway, please do the following:-
Go to material master, select the MRP view which you want to make as editable. Now place your mouse on the required field and press F1. Make a note of the Table and Field name.
Now go to OMS9, press F4 in Field sel.group so that some fields will be displayed. Select the above field and press Enter key. Below you will find the options to change as Hide, Display, Reqd Entry, Opt entry. Make the required changes and now check the material master. Like this, you can make changes for other fields also.

MRP Type and procurement type tabs in mmd

Hello Experts,
I was trying to check the MRP Type for a material master.
In MM01, I could not locate such a tab. I think I have seen it before.
I have entered most of the selection info like Material code etc.
Or is it that MRP type is not visible from material master?
What if its blank?
I check the MARC table for the material code and the MRP type is blank.
Also, in which tab can I maintain the procurement type? Could not find such a field in mmd.
Have a nice day everyone.
regards
Bass

Hi,
MRP type and Procurement type are under tab MRP 1 & MRP 2 respectively in material master.
Check MRP1/2/3/4 tabs all information you need is there.

Automatic reorder point and safety stock caluclation- MRP type:V2

Hi,
I want the system to calculate reorder point and safety stock. To simulate this i created one material with
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as 100 nos in material master.
04.2009     100
03.2009     100
02.2009     100
01.2009     100
12.2008     100
11.2008     100
10.2008     100
09.2008     100
08.2008     100
07.2008     100
06.2008     100
05.2008      100
Then I went to MP30 and executed the forcase.When I checkd the material master the system has calculated the reorder point as 14 nos. But there is no value updated in safety stock field.
Now I have two questions.
1) How the system has arrived the reorder point value as 14 nos.
2) Why there is no safety stock updated in material master.
Could u please clarify this.
Thanks and Regards
Purushothaman

Hi,
This is further to my preivous mail. I have changed the consumption values and now i am getting the safety stock.
MRP type:V2, service level as 97%, Forecast model:D,Hist. period:12,Forecast periods:12, and I entered
the historical value for past 12 months as.
04.2009     100
03.2009     80
02.2009     110
01.2009     85
12.2008     90
11.2008     95
10.2008     125
09.2008     90
08.2008     90
07.2008     92
06.2008     101
05.2008     100
After executing the forecase the sytem has calculated the below parameter.
Basic value:95.759
MAD:11.448
Safety stock:10.252
Reorder point:23.658.
Can anyone explain me how these calculation arrived.
Thanks and regards
