Mass processing of MRP areas

Hi All,
Is there any way to mass processing of MRP Areas in Material master?
We want to create MRP areas for a number of materials.
regards,
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
Use T.Code: MM17
Field: MARC-DIBER (this is only for Activation check box )
For inside MRP Area filelds, check
T.code: SM30
Table: CIF_IMMTMRPA (Integration Model Reference Table for Material)
Table: MDMA (MRP Area for Material)

Consider planned delivery time field in MRP Areas

Hi,
I would like to know if the "Consider Planned Delivery Time" field in the MRP areas is taken into the scheduling of materials during MRP run? From the help documentation, it seems to be yes. Otherwise the system will take the Planned Delivery Time from the Plant level. May I ask how we can tick this field for all materials? We are currently in the process of activating the MRP areas in our system. Before, we didn't use the MRP areas but we think the need for it has arrived. Is there a mass maintenance tool to do this? Or do I have to use LSMW? Thanks!
Regards,
Chester

Hello Chester
If you flag the field "consider planned delivery time" the planned delivery time defined on the MRP area will be considered by MRP. You should tick it for all the materials if the value from the MRP area should be considered.
Also, the report RMMDDIBE can be used for mass processing of MRP areas.

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.

Tejas

Use of report RMMDDIBE for MRP area creation

Dear All
I have this requirement where i have to extend already created materials to storage location MRP areas. In SAP documentation i found that, standard report RMMDDIBE can be used for this.
If anyone has worked with this earlier, kindly let me few things abt this report
1- Exact fucntionality of this report
2. How to run this report
3. Is it a configuration or just front end report which has to be run everytime
4. can we make front end batch job
Any help on this would be great
thanks
bals

Hi Murugesan,
1. Exact fucntionality of this report
The mass create & change MRP Area data instead of manually doing via material master MRP1 view
2. How to run this report
Select the materials and plant that you want to create or change the MRP areas, then select where to copy the MRP area data from, i.e. copy from material master MRP views, copy from other MRP area data.
For example you can copy the material master data when creating, then use "create/change the data" to update some of the fields.
3. Is it a configuration or just front end report which has to be run every time
Yes, you must have configured MRP area and assigned storage locations in the IMG. RMMDDIBE is a mass master data update program, it is not configuration.
4. can we make front end batch job
No real need, this is a mass create/change program.

Subcontracting with MRP areas / Customer consigment

Dear all,
I'm currently looking for some information regarding subcontracting processes with MRP areas.
On the first hand I need a general overview how subcontracting purchase orders would be handled with MRP areas. In addition I'm really interested in the replenishment of the subcontractor stocks. On the other hand some facts about the customizing would be fine.
My second topic is consigment stocks at the customer. So I need similar information as for the MRP areas but regarding this customer consigment.
It would be really great if someone has some literature recommendations or official documentations about these issue.
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Enrico

Hi Enrico,
Working with subcontracting and MRP area's gives you the option to plan the requirements for the subcontractor separately and you can then order the components separately. This functionality is used when working with scheduling agreements and direct deliveries to the subcontractor as there this is a requirement.
A second instance where one would use and MRP area with sucontracting is that when a material is used both by the subcontractor and it's also used directly in the plant production. The requirements for the subcontractor can be separately planned using an MRP area.
The following links may give you some more information regarding working with subcontracting and MRP area's

Mass processing & Back jobs

Hi Gurus
Can any one give me different background jobs and mass processing available in R3.
This is reqd urgent

Mass Processing of Production Orders
Use
Mass processing enables you to carry out functions for multiple orders.
Features

Starting Mass Processing
Mass processing can be started in the following ways:
Triggering the execution of a function
The execution of a function can be triggered as follows:
Execute function immediately
The functions are executed directly after mass processing has been triggered. This can take a long time for functions that require a lot of system resources. However, you can immediately check whether the function was successfully executed.
Execute function with dialog transaction
Further processing is controlled by a dialog that is specific to the function. This option is available for the following functions: Confirmation, Picking, Log display.
Create a function request (refer to Processing Requests)
First, requests are created without any further checks. The requests are created very quickly. Mass processing is actually executed with the program COWORKDISPATCH. As a result, it is delayed until the next time the program starts. You can decouple the function in terms of time, so that the main work takes place at night, for example. The end users create requests and system administration takes care of their execution.
Execute function in the background
First, requests are created without any further checks. Then a background process is started, which processes these requests immediately. Scheduling a background job does not create any administrative work and reduces the workload for the dialog.
Parallel Processing
For parallel processing, you define server groups for mass processing (COWORK-DIALOG, COWORK-BATCH). This enables you to speed up the execution of processing.
Mass processing online/ in the background.
You can either execute mass processing online or you can schedule it in a background job (no online steps are possible).
Application Toolbar with Mass Processing Functions
You can define that an application toolbar, with selected mass processing functions, is displayed in the list of the selected objects. You can use this application toolbar to execute the functions in the dialog.
For more information refer to Display Application Toolbar with Mass Processing Functions.
Test Run
You can decide whether changes caused by a mass processing function are executed in the form of a test run only. Error messages that may occur are collected. No changes are updated to the database.
You can use the test run for these functions:
Close
Set/delete user status
Release
Costing
Generate capacity requirements
Technically complete
Scheduling
WM material staging
To test a function, select the option Test function without changes to data on the Mass processing tab page.
Log
Log records are written and saved as a function is being executed. They provide information about the execution of a mass processing function. If no log record exists, the function was executed without any problems. The log records are assigned to the order or the collective order

Mass change of Reorder point at MRP area level

Hi,
I have another constraint.
MM17 will mass change the reorder point at plant level.
Is there any process to do mass change of reorder point for a particular MRP area level.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When I am doing mass change of reorder point through MM17 tcode selecting MARC table,it will chnage at plant level and getting reflected in material master once I save changes.
But I need it at storage location level.I tried to do this through MM17 tcode selecting MARD table,which will ask for storage location data(i.e storage location level).But after I save the changes,changes are not getting reflected in Display material-MRP1 view.
Can anyone pls suggest why this is happening.
Thanks in advance.

Mass change of Reorder point on MRP areas for materials

Hi,
Is there any process to upload mass change of reorder point on MRP areas for materials.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pavithra,
I know this is an old thread and my answer may not be relevant to you anymore but maybe it will help others. Are you trying to do a mass change for the reorder points of the MRP Areas? If so, go to tcode SA38, then run program RMMDDIBE. Then go to create/change with Data tab. Select change MRP area and there you can change the reorder points for your MRP areas.

Chester

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?

Mass processing of Workorders-Reg

Hi,
We are having standard Tcode COHV for mass Processing of Production Order.
Like that do we have any tcode for mass processing of Workorder.
The reason behind is instead of having CO99 for closing the order with only one plant(my requirement is multiple plants and multiple order types) ,Is it possible to use IW38 in Background to change the order from TECO to CLSD.
Because the option is given in IW38(Menu- Program-Execute in Background).If so how to do that?
Pl throw some light on this.
Regards
KRISHNAN

Krishnan,
In my 4.7 A&D IS system, we don't even have a menu path starting with Program in IW72 or
IW38 (Menu- Program-Execute in Background).
Only Order > Completion > Complete business, but these programs are designed to release, TECO etc all from within the transaction.
Additionally, you are not restricted to one plant and one order type in CO99. You can leave these open, you are then only restricted by one Controlling Area.
Problem with that is that you are not restricted to PM orders, all order types are processed.
If you are using PM task lists in all your orders, that may work for you as a selection criteria, but that's an unlikely case.
If not, you should be able to reach an agreement with all internal order type users that all orders should be (financially) closed after n days in state of TECO.
Most companies are keen not to leave any 'finished' orders open and available to financial postings.
The usual late postings are differences in invoices and purchase orders. If there are a lot of these it is practical to wait a number of days and then close.
The errors that occur afterwards can always be processed by reversing the closure.

Problem in COHV with mass processing function Release.

Hello,Guru's
I have problem in COHV with mass processing function Release.
even after execution of COHV the status of Orders remains unchanged.i.e. remain Created instead of Release
My user require all Orders should release in mass process
with material availability Check .
and OPJK setting is
material availability
Check availability during order release=X
Release material = 1(User decides on release if parts are missing)

> with material availability Check .
> and OPJK setting is
> material availability
> Check availability during order release=X
> Release material = 1(User decides on release if parts are missing)
Hi,
With these two settings in OPJK, there will not be any impact on COHV.
Any dates, date ranges you are inputing in the COHV.
Try with Manually inputing some of the Orders in COHV and in the Foreground you try.
Afterwards, try with Some selected Orders in the Background..
You may get the clue for the problem..

MD04 - Subreq - Storage location MRP area

Hi all,
I have an issue of Subreq in MD04 which is not assigned to the the good MRP area.
I'm explaining :
Business process
   -> I work with a subcontractor
        case 1 : either I buy raw material to be processed and delivered it directly to my subcontractor
        case 2 : either I send raw material from my physical stock to my subcontractor
   -> I create subcontracting purchase order with indication as components, the raw material.
   -> In case of the components are already in my subcontractor (case 1), the reservation (Subreq) should not consume my physical stock.
   -> In case of the components are in my physical stock (case 2), the reservation (Subreq) should consume the physical stock.
Solution choosen
Then I decided to create a storage location MRP area : "EXTERN" as External.
I assigned a storage location "EXT" to this MRP area.
I assigned this MRP area to the material in MRP1 / MRP Area.
In the purchase order, in the components popup,
For case 1 : I assigned "EXT" as Prod.Stor.Loc and Supply area
For case 2 : nothing special is filled
Issue
For the case 1, althought I assigned the storage location "EXT", the Subcontractor Requirement is not attached to the good MRP area.
WHY?
Remark : I didn't use the subcontracting MRP area because I would like to have 2 cases : case 1 & case 2.
Thank you in advance for your help about this problem which make me nervous !

Hello Catherine
Your system is working as designed. The following note explains the system design in more detail:
503497 - Subcontracting and MRP areas
Take a look on the relevant information provided by this note below:
Reason and Prerequisites
The most important point to understand the system behavior is the fact that the withdrawal of the (subcontracting) component is generally carried out during the goods receipt for an SC procurement proposalfrom the subcontractor stock that is managed at plant level from an inventory management point of view and that has no reference to a storage location at all.
This causes that subcontractor requirements can never enter a storage location MRP area, since you can later not post the withdrawal from this MRP area.
Thus SC-requirements always enter the SC segment of the plant MRP area or the SC-MRP area.
The SC MRP area in turn is supplied by stock transfer reservations from the plant MRP area or via third-party order processing through procurement proposals with goods receipt directly to the subcontractor. A supply through the materials planning from a storage location MRP area is not possible.
For the above reason, SC-requirements do also not carry any storage location, since the storage location does not have any control function at all for SC-requirements:
You cannot and you should not determine a storage location MRP area (see above), and the subcontractor MRP area is determined via the vendor of the procurement proposal, thus it is independent of the storage location.
See also Note 376050 on this topic that makes a modification available which prevents the deletion of the storage location in the subcontractor requirements, so that you can use, for example, customer-specific reports to analyze the storage location.
Please observe that the mentioned modification note 376050 only makes the storage location available on table RESB, so that you can use it on custom report. This modification will not make the storage location to be considered by MRP or on MD04.

Parallel processing in MRP

CAn anybody tell me the use of parallel processing in MD01 screen...
SAP help tells the following..
But I cant understand that..
PLease help me get a clarification.
Karthick P

Dear
The parallel processing use in total planning run in MD01 or MD40 thats meas planning run for number of plant at atime. By using parallel processing procedures, you can significantly improve the total planning run. The parallel processing procedures can either run on several servers or in several sessions. So we define this setting in OMIQ.
Scope of planning in OMIZ here we combine the number of plant/ MRP are for total palnning run which use in MD01 to run MRP for all plant at same time.
So if you want to run the MRP for all palnt or MRP Area as total planning run then you need to define scope of planning and parallel processing to improve the system performance and if you don't define it then also you can excetue the MRP.
Summery is :
1) If you want to run MRP viw MD 01 online you require scope of planning.
Reason:- With scope of planning only you can combine no of plant / MRP area.etc.,
If you want to run MRP in back ground this is not required.
2) Always parallel processing will improve the system speed by acessing data base layer with multiple application layer.
setup : go to SPRO>material management>Consumption based planning-->Define parallel processing in MRP.
Refer : the parallel process for mrp.
Hope this will be useful

Mass processing by T.code COOIS

Hi,
How can I execute some mass processing in the T.CODE COOIS and not only reporting.
I canu2019t use u201Csettingsu201D and u201Cmass processingu201D in my system. They are deactived. Do I need some customizing.
Thanks
Dede

Hi Glenn,
Please use COHV - Mass processing by which you can execute the required changes.
COOIS is purely used to collectively get the desired reports for the discrete production process( production orders, etc)
Hope this clears your question.
Thanks & Regards,

MRP area in Source list

Hello
Can anyone tell me how the MRP Area field (BERID) is maintained in source list (transaction ME01). In my system it is greyed out?
We are running MRP at MRP Area level and I was hoping that this field would allow me to maintain source lists at this level.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Sue

Hello Sue,
The MRP area field will appear if you are planning with MRP option 2 - Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
You can see help document below explaining this process:
