Material Master MRP4 Individual / Collective Requirement

Hi All,
I would like to ask in case I want to use the Individual / Collective Requirement functionality in Material Master MRP4 view, is it a MUST to set the Strategy Group in MRP3 view to 20 : Make-To-Order Production? Because I find if I dun set this field, nothing happens after I execute MD01 for the MRP Run.
Another query is in case the Stock Requirement is on two different dates, can I still group them together into one Plan Order or one Purchase Requisition using the selection - 2. Collective Requirement selection?
Many Thanks.

Yes Individual / Collective indicator only works for MTO strategies.
Another query is in case the Stock Requirement is on two different dates, can I still group them together into one Plan Order or one Purchase Requisition using the selection - 2. Collective Requirement selection?
You can but if the dates are different you have to use Periodic Lot Size.like PK.and all requirements within one period will be grouped together and they will be planned together.
Check and Revert,

Individual/Collective Requirements MRP4 View

I have a situation where my top level material (FERT) is a MTS item (reorder point planning). In the BOM is an intermediate (HALB). Due to the nature of my process I must have a 1:1 relation ship of the HALB to the FERT. However: as many have pointed out, where I have multiple production orders for the FERT, the MRP behavior is to combine multiple order reservations for the HALB into one planned order, regardless of the individual/collective requirement setting. There must be a way to get a planned order for each order reservation in this MTS situation. I know that I am not the only one who has this requirement. Any advice/expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mgf,
I believe expert Sundaresan has answered your question - for Baseline SAP.
In addition to Baseline, though, SAP offers several addons that are industry specific, and some of them appear to me to be tailored to industries in which Milliken is a participant.

Plan cost of IW31 not updating when MRP4 of Material master is individual requirement

Hi,
When Individal/coll of MRP4 tab of Raw material is 1 Individual requirement, plan cost is not updating in Tcode IW31 Repair order. It is updating when MRP4 is 2 collective requirement.
Please let me know the possible reasons.
Thanks

Yongguo
The behavior you are seeing on your system is correct system behavior.
The system rolls costs/revenues up to the assigned wbs element
if an order or network activity is flagged for deletion so you
can archive orders/networks while the project is still 'alive' without
loosing information on costs/revenues.
The logic is that costs of deleted networks should not get lost but are
rolled up to the superior wbs-element.
SAP has the understanding that released activities are used immediately,
carry actual costs and, therefore, can not be deleted. To keep the
objects clearly arranged the reorganization run can be used to move
some objects (those with status DLFL) to the archive without losing
data (in the meaning of costs).
If you want to remove these costs of the WBS elements you have
to cancel the deletion flag of these networks, remove the planned costs
start network costing and save. You can then set the DLFL again and
the costs will not appear in the structure report.
Hope this helps.
Best regards

Both Individual & Collective requirement for Same material

Hi,
Is it possible to have a component as,
dependent requirement in one B.o.M as individual requirement & in another B.o.M as collective requirement.
Suppose we have 2 Production version
Bill of material 1
FG (Make to Order)
SFG2 (Individual planned order)
Other version is
Bill of material 2
FG (Make to Order)
SFG1 (Individual planned orders)
SFG2 (Collective planned order)
Is it possible to have SFG2 as Individual as well as collective requirement, based on B.o.M so that if version one is selected then all individual planned order need to be generated with reference of sales order& if version 2 selection then a collective planned order to be generated without reference of sales order..
& In B.O.M Item data how Explosion type can be useful in these scenario.

Hello
As far as I know, this setting is only available at the material master and it is not possible to change is at BOM level.
You can try to use BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA to control if the requiremens are assigned to the individual stock or not, from an MRP perspective. Please observer that this BAdI does not change data on the table.
However, BAdI WORKORDER_UPDATE can be used later to remove the assignment to the invidual stock from the production order components.

Individual/Collective Requirement indicator in MTS

Hi Gurus,
Can you please let me know what is the relevence of individual/Colelctive Requirement indicator from MRP4 view of material..
for Finished product as well as its sub assembliees in case of make to Stock planing strategies.
i know how it works in MTO and how depednent requirements can be grouped together or sepated based on this indicator.
When i tested the same in case of MTS, i found for dfinished product as well as sub assemblies behaviour is always like collective irrespective of MRP4 indicator.
any thougts lets me know.

Dear Santhosh,
MRP-4 as 1 : In individual planning, this indicator is used to display the dependent requirements of a component separately.
MRP-4 as 2 : In collective requirements, this indicator is used to display the dependent requirements of a component grouped together.
This Indicator is useful to control the planning of dependent requirements if the main product is being planned with strategy 20 ie; MTO Process.

Individual Collective indicator

Hi
Is there any report abt Individual collective indicator
I need a report regarding the requirements created on each date for the collective requirement of the material
I have maintained collective indicator for the material
Regards
Anand Srinivasan

Dear Anand,
There's no standard report regarding the individual/Collective Requirements.
But still if you want the list of materials with 1 - Individual Requirements only or 2 - Collective Requirements
only,you can get it from the table MARC in T code SE16.
Regarding your second part of question i'm sure whether you are l;ooking for this,
If you want the total Requirements for those materials,then go to T code MD73 - give the Requirements
Plan as * and enter the plant and the date range and proceed.

Individual / collective indicator in MRP 4

What is the use of this indicator and when to use individual and colloective option ?

Hi,
If you maintain Individual requirement seeting in MRP 4 view , always a PR or Planned order is generated aginst the WBS element based on Procurement type setting ( E or F). If a PR is genearated, and is converted to PO and when we do GR of the item , for a valuated stock , Stock and price will be in project stock not in actual cost. ( can see report in T-code GR55. Report Z6P2.)
If you maintain collective requirement seeting. Always a reservation is created against the network activity. Once the item is issued against the reservation , cost is debited from the activity and item is consumed. No stock. Cost will booked to actual cost.
Can check the same by testing with same material ....
first have seeting as a Individual requirement. Genrate PR , convert to PO , do GR and check MMBE (stock report) and GR55 cost reprot.
next time same material , change setting to collective requirements, Reservation is created , DO GI against that resevation. Check MMBE ( No stock should be there ) , Check GR55 cost should be booked in actual cost.
No change in costs. Only change in the flow of qnty and cost.
Thanks

P.S : Kindly confirm as soon as you try this.

Material master update through BAPI

Hello Experts,
We are using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA to update material master . It is required to update RefPlant:consumption (MARC-VRBWK) in forecast view . We could not find any field corresponding to MARC-VRBWK in table parameters PLANTDATA .
Please help me if there is any way to update RefPlant:consumption (MARC-VRBWK ) in forecast view by using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA .
If there is any other BAPI to update the field please let me know .
Regards,
Kiran.

Hi Suhas,
I tried EXTENSIONIN & EXTENSIONINX approach but the MARC-VRBWK was not reflected. I did some research and came to know that these extensions can be used to update the custom fields . If there is any way to update the standard field like MARC-VRBWK using extension please let me know . It would be great help .
Thanks,
Kiran.

Discontinuation indicator in Material Master

Hello,
I am using discontinuation group concept in BOM which replace 1 old material with multiple folloup materials.
My system ( ECC5.0) does not display discontinuation indicator 2 ( discontinue group in BOM). As a workaround I am using discontinue indicator 1 in material master, which makes entry of atleast 1 folloup material in material master mandatory.
Does anyone know how to enable discontinue indicator 2 in material master?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
The indicator 2 is not offered either in BOM or material master. It works as below:
Set the discontinuation indicator as 1 for the material to be discontinued in the material master along with other required details. Now in the BOM for the discontinued material, click on discontn & specify the follow-up group as say A1. Then specify follow-up group as A1 for materials which need to follow up this material.
Create a planned order & explode the BOM in the planned order, you will then notice the indicator 2 for the material which you discontinued in the material master & in BOM.
Hope it clarifies your query.
Regards,
Vivek

Error Field selection in material master for Tax

While creating material master MM01 in Sales orgn tab when I am trying to save HST tax for Canada, it is disappearing. Although I have classified customer tax & material tax in IMG-Sales & distribution as 1 & 0 both.
In MM I can see HST either 0 or 1 when pressing F4
I tried Log General/Material Master/Field Selection/Maintain Filed selection for data screen
I tried 0001 group but when opened it gives various numbers for optional/required/supressed/display entry
Which number is used for TAX? I could not identified.
Can any one tell me what is transaction code for field selection group for material master for making Tax Required Field?
Thanks for help.

Hello,
Tax problem is resolved by me only.
In Tax classification IMG/Sales & Dist/Taxes/Define Tax determination Rule
HST number was 4 I made as number 1 followed by CTX1 as 2 CTX2 as 3.....so on
So it picked up HST now as this was number one. Now in MM Tax is mandatory as I put 1 & in pricing it picked up.

Storeage location from material master in PO

I have maintained a store location of each material in Material master in view of "General Plant Data / Storage 1". Now my requirement is that whenever I create a PR or PO without PR with material, system will not take by default my store location since I have already maintained in the material master. Even the requirement is same while creating a reservation.. Can any one ans to this please.. Since it is general issue.. It should come from material master as this SAP is such good ERP package why it is not coming by default. It is a really challenging question?

SAP designed its programs the way it is, they have a field storage location EP to default a storage location to a PO. it just does not make sense for SAP (for perfromance reasons in big companies) to check first if there is only a single storage location maintained together with the auto storage location disabled.
storage location EP field is just located in MRP views.
But with customizing you can move this field to any other view, e.g. purchasing view.
It is probably in the MRP views, as you usually have MRP views only for materials that are stock managed, and only for quantity managed materials you need a storage location, while purchasisg view need to be there even for materials that are not stock managed. So a proposal for storage location EP makes more sense in the MRP views, especailly while the planner defines where the materials are needed, rather the the buyer. And with distributed material master maintenance it makes then again more sense to have it in MRP views.
But if you company does it different, then customize your material master views to your need.

Material Master workflow - how to use a BAPI?

Hi,
I need some help with a material master workflow.
My requirement is to automate some changes to the material master as steps in the workflow, they are:
Set the Cross plant material status
Set the material deletion flag
I see that the BAPI SAVEDATA is available as a method of BOR BUS1001006. I have created a task with this method but I cannot work out how to automate the changes to the material in the workflow using it?
Has anyone used this BAPI method in a workflow before, how do I automate the changes to the material using it? or is there another way to make changes to the material as a background step in my workflow?
Many thanks,
Neil

All,
thanks ever so much for all your input... I have fixed the problem and it was obscure!
Firstly my binding was wrong... I should not have bound the clientdata and the clientdatax
since the settings I was trying to default (material status an del flag) from the master task were actually being overwritten with this binding. bit of a schoolboy error that one.
Secondly I created 1 brand new task and reused 1 old task for the purposes of setting the material status and the deletion flag respectively.
I managed to get the first one working this morning by removing the binding, the second one still errored with the message about source and target structures being different... which got me thinking, so I created a brand new task for setting the deletion flag and ... it worked!
So why? ... then I realised.
We just upgraded to EHP7 and this workflow existed prior to EHP7. I copied the workflow and edited it for my new business requirements. Reading some of the release notes it turns out the structures have changed and there were conversion routines for fixing them.
All sorted now!
