MD04 Screen - MRP Type VB

Hi Experts,
We are facing problem on MD04
Material -- 151-1234
MRP Type -- VB
I saw only order reservation details, I don't see Dep Requirment details, we have open production orders and open planned orders in father (main assembly) materials
Ques:
Is there any different logic for 'VB' MRP type in MD04 screen?
What the reason for not showing in MD04 screen?
Regards,
Sankaran

Hi,
For MRP type VB, dependent requirement (open prod order, dep planned order)will not pass from main material.
Because this is reorder point planning, so while MRP run system plan for procurement if the stock qty falls below the reorder level.
In MD04 you can see only P.R & P.O for VB type material.
While running MRP for main material, VB type material will not plan.
You have to run separately by MD01 or MD02.

Dharma

MRP type change from VB to PD - Problem in old requirements MD04

Hello Experts,
For MRP run we were using VB as MRP type in material master. We upload schedule in scheduling agrrements. At time of MRP run system was only considering based on reorder point only.
Now business disicion is change and we have changed MRP type as PD. So at time of MRP run system should consider based on requirements i.e. from scheduling agreement. Now here is our problem. System consider and shows old scheduling requirement also in MD04. Let me explanin you in detail. Before changing MRP type from VB to PD, there were some schedule available in system. after that we have uploaded 2 3 more schedule. But system still shows old schedule availabe at time of MRP type change.
Can you please help me how to resolve this?? How can we clear old requirements from system.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

VV Mrp type

With MRP type VV (forecast based planning), after i execute the forecast program, i can see the forecast req. in the MD04 screen.
When i run the MRP, the net requirements calculation is not considering new sales orders. It is strictly limiting to the forecast requirements that is...it is generating Purchase req. only to cover the safety stock and forecast requirement for the month and not considering new sales orders?
is there a specific customizing change i need to do to make this work?
Thanks
SD

Dear,
This is not possible because MRP VV planning works based on the consumption (withdrawal) of components not on the requirements.
So there will be requirements creation for the part MRP type VV ( No requirements will be passed and no dependent requirements will be created).
So conclusion is requirements will not be passed..planning will be based on the consumptions of this materials.

Why demand get trigger at other plant MD04 screen?

Dear all,
I have a question. When I open up my MD04 for a material and plant at our distribution plant (A), I saw two purchasing requisition (with item category M) and with its subsequent production order respectively
Question:
The problem is that orders placed on our sales company plant in plant B generate a production order at the distribution plant A. When I look at the two sales orders with type OR (i.e. sales order that trigger the two PR respectively), the delivery plant field in these two sales orders are plant B (i.e. sales plant we called it, basically VBAP-WERKS). And once it is saved, there is schedule line of CB.
For some reason, when MRP run at plant B, the demand get populate at MD04 screen at the distribution plant A when the VBAP-WERKS only mention the sales plant B.
Thanks

Hi
Could you please check the Planning Palnt & Production Plant maintained for this material in the Material master
Hope this will help

Look at the special procurement field in MRP view of the material in plant B. If it is empty, then you may have an enhancement or a special customization in place.

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 CBP MATERIALS- MRP TYPE 'VB', IN MD01

Dear PP Gurus,
My client wants to run MRP for consumption based planning materials (MRP type: VB), for there individual plants. For this I have suggested MD01 for planning in the perticuler plant by using the user exit available in the screen. But then also, after MRP run system is plannig all the materials which have MRP type PD as well as VB.
The user exit parameters are
User Exit Key: 002 (Consider MRP Controller for CBP)
User Exit Parameters : CBP
"CBP" is my MRP controller for materials which have MRP type 'VB'.
Pl suggest me what & where is the problem?
Thanks,
Regards,
Sachin Patil.

Dear,
It is possible through
User Exit: M61X000.
You need to maintain MRP group assign it to the VB type material then go ahead.
For details please refer this thread,

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 not consider Ext. req. Sales Order after MRP run

Hi Buddies
My client wants to use MRP Type V1 which should consider re-order point as well as external requirement (i.e. Sales Order) for net requirement calculation.However when i tried using V1 in material master and ran MD03 it only considered re-order point and ignored Sales Order.Sales Order didnt even reflect in MD04.Moreover in OMDQ for V1 under additional ext req there is no Sales Order for selection.
Please reply how i can have ext req sales order for MRP Type V1.
Regards,
Sachin Narvekar

Hi
MRP Type V1 creats the requirement when the need exceeds the Reorder Point, where as the MRP type VB creats the requirement when the stock qty goes below the reorder point.

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!!

Clubbing of PR in single PO via MD04 screen

Hi All
We have multiple PReq's in MD04 screen created based on MRP run, many of them are having material which needs to be procured from same vendor, so I would like to know if it is possible to have all these Pres clubbed in single PO through MD04 screen. Right now what I can see that when you convert Preq in to PO using MD04 it allows one Preq with 1 line item to be converted into single line PO.
Please let me know if there is any way we can have multiple line PO created through MD04 screen.
Note: We Don't want manual inclusion of Preq in PO, what we want is system should autmoatically put all the Preq on same vendor into a single PO.
Waiting for some good response.
Regrds
Yogesh

Yogesh,
...I would like to know if it is possible to have all these Pres clubbed in single PO through MD04 screen...
It is not possible in standard system.
What you can do:
- you can use the proper lot sizing procedure and suitable colective requirement indicastor setting (both are in material master's MRP views) /if you are speaking about one material/

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
SPRO>Production>Material Requirements Planning>Master Data>Check MRP Type.
Please go through the documentation available there.

Delete sales order from MD04 screen

Hi Gurus,
Need help in deleting a sales order from the MD04 screen.
The sales order was deleted, there are no production order/reservations associated with this Sales order, the sales order is still appearing on the md04 screen and consuming the stock. Ran MRP both in Netchange and Regen mode still the sales order appear on the MD04 screen.
This is a four months old sales order.
Thanks
Srini

Hi Aravind,
No problem, I found some notes online.
Executed the program SDRQCR21 and deleted the sales order.
Thanks for your help.

MRP type in MB51 Report

Hello,
Is there anyway to have a field MRP TYPE in MB51 selection and output screen?
I tried to find this field in Material Management-> Inventory...-> Reports -> Data screen.... Option but cannot find this field, is there any easyway to add this field into above mentioned transactions.
Rgds,
Aamir

Hi dear,
You have to proceed as below.
1) Maintain MRP view for material.
2) With the help of your ABAP er create Z report.
3) Logic to fetch for MRP controller - Go to table MARC and get the MRP controller (field name DISPO) of all the materials displayed in the report.

MRP Type VV

Dear All
I am using MRP Type VV i.e forecast based planning. I want to know whether we can transfer the forecast reuirement into PIR in Inactive mode for reporting purpose i.e comparison between forecast and actual sales.
Can i change the forecast in one screen.
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Goto demand management (Md61) inactive version. Select the material and goto " Edit- copy requirements - Forecasting - Total Forecast (for copying all forecast) or Copy selectively for transferring selected items.
Hope this is clear.
