Material in two plants, I run MRP with the BOM is not found in prod plant

Question

Hi all,
I have plant 1020 material 12345
Plant 1020 is the production plant for material 12345
The material 12345 exists in plant 1070.
The material 12345 in plant 1070 has no MRP.
Plant 1020 material 12345 config in MM03
MRP1 --> MRP Type = PD
MRP1 --> MRP Controller = G03
MRP3 --> Planning material = PLAN_1020_GR03
MRP3 --> Planning plant = 1020
Plant 1070 material 12345 config in MM03
MRP1 --> MRP Type = P3
MRP1 --> MRP Controller = 017
MRP3 --> Planning material = empty
MRP3 --> Planning plant = empty
The BOM in cs11 for plant 1020 material 12345
has 3 components
Comp#1
Comp#2
Comp#3
The Dependency is code
TABLE TB_1020_SUPERBOM (PP_nuance_interne = $ROOT.PP_nuance_interne,
PP_dim_billette_bom = $ROOT.PP_dim_billette_bom,
PP_CODE_LONG_BILL = $ROOT.PP_CODE_LONG_BILL,
pp_component_bom =$self.pp_component_bom).
The dependency is not found because it is looking for it in the plant 1070 and not the plant 1020.
When the MRP runs for a Delivery type stock transfer order I get
CONFIG_1020_BILLET <---- This is the BOM item component field in CS11 in the Basic data tab
Comp#2
Comp#3
instead of
Comp#1
Comp#2
Comp#3
When I run MRP for the same material, if there's no
"Delivery based on Stock transfert orders" the MRP associates the correct components
Hope this explains m'I situation.
Regards!

Answer 1

Hi,
If you want a reply in one line, it would be SAP R/3 does not supoort this feature.
You will have to go for APO module.
There are few things which can be done in R/3 side, as in maintaining a scope for MRP run in OM0E, maintaining special procurement key etc etc, but all these will not do any check of stock in another plant & can only help in a very limited way if all any for your specific need.
But SAP R/3 provides a cross plant evaluation via MD48 to know the stock & demands at all plants, this can help only for evaluation purpose.
Hope it clarifies.
