MRP and capacity

Hi,
Just a quick question. Does MRP take into account capacities? I understand MRP is all about ensuring the material availability striking a balance between optimial service and costs. It matches the sales orders (requirements) with stock and generates planned orders or purchase requisitions orstock transfer requisitions based on type of prourement.
But in this flow, does it consider the capacities of it's resources?
Thank you.

What i mentioned was definition of the terms - MRP and MRP II
What each software does and each process is named in it is not necessarily related to this
MRP in R3 for example will do what the definition says
SNP heiristics will do the same by infinite planning(assuming no lotsizing etc..)
But when you add on capacity levelling you have now gone into the MRPII definition area
So you will have to match what the definition is vis-a-visa what the System calls it and has under it
some basic link here.

check the APICS definition - materials management - tony arnold should have some
will post some more if i come across any

How to run mrp and capacity leveling through heuritics.

Hi,
How to run mrp and capacity leveling through heuritics.
What are the setps required for production planning run this thing in the heuritics in pp/ds?

Sunil,
APO PP/DS doesn't have a 1-to-1 match for MRP/Cap levelling per se. There are, though, a limitless number of ways to achieve the results you want.
Start with a basic PP planning MRP - SAP_PP_002, which will should create all necessary planned orders
Then try a DS heuristic to schedule your orders according to capacity. Schedule Sequence SAP001 is a good starting point. This can be used to schedule your cap relevant work centers such that they fully load the capacity available, similar to cap levelling.

MRP and MPS

Hi,
what is the main difference between MRP and MPS ?
Regards

Hi,
The task of material requirements planning is to guarantee material availability. The system calculates which materials must be procured or produced at what time and in what amounts so as to provide the quantities required.
Using MPS you can carefully plan important parts or bottleneck parts in a separate planning run at the highest BOM level before the planning results have an effect on all of the production levels.
Lead time scheduling and the calculation of capacity requirements in MRP and MPS provide the basis for the creation of a master plan that corresponds to capacity planning. This way the MRP controller obtains information about possible bottlenecks and overloads. Before the master plan becomes effective and the planning results affect subordinate BOM levels, the MRP controller can make changes that affect capacity for chosen materials.
Scheduling:
Before capacity planning can take place you must create capacity requirements within lead time scheduling, that is, determine the production dates. The system only generates capacity requirements if it executes lead time scheduling using the times specified in the routing.
Scheduling in MRP and MPS determines the basic dates and the production dates for the planned order. The basic dates define the earliest and latest dates for production. The production dates use the times in the routing to determine the start and finish of production as well as of the individual operations.

MRP and Inventory psoting list

Hello
2 questions
when we run MRP and ask to take into account the open purchase order we have recommendation without open purchase quantity taken into account and all purchase orders open are made in 2009
Could it be because of the new year ?
Second question in item screen we right click and have for each item the option to see posting list but since 1st of January teh posting list is without stock movements and does not show 2009 movements
Do you know if we can somehow define the dates where the posting list is shown ? They want to see obviously stocks movements from 2009
Thank you for your help in advance

If your financial year ends on the 31st of December then the short cut from Item Master Data will not show the previous financial years transactions. This is standard B1 functionality and you cannot define the dates.
You can run the full Stock Postings list from the Reports menu and this will give you all transactions.
In your MRP you must make sure that the From Date includes all the purchase orders in the previous year. For example if your oldest purchase order is 01.10.09 then your start date in horizon for MRP should be 01.10.09. This will put all your purchase orders in the Past Due section but will include them in all calculations for ordering stock.

MRP and log of results

Hello Experts,
When I run MRP, I get a message like ie "10 requisitions have been created". Where can I see a list those requisitions?
I am looking for a log of what happened in the MRP run to look into the details of which documents where created and deleted and so on
rgds
GAR

Hi,
You can see the list of purchase requistions created in two ways..
In ME5A, Give the release date(date on which you ran MRP) and enter the other inputs..
It will give the desired outout.. You can give MRP controller also to narrow your search..
Another way is...
MD04. For the material which ou ran MRP , Check in MDO4..
It ll give you planned orders. Click that planned order and click the icon forpegged req in the small window.. It ll give the list of planned orders and Purchase req. under that final material..
You can then select the planned orders that came under the final material..In a similar way as above you can proceed to get the list of all the purchase reqns..
Hope the above definitely claifies..
with wishes....

How MS/MRP and Oracle ASCP will work for Manufracturing for a Item 'PEN' .

Hi All,
I am having oracle MS/MRP and Oracle ASCP.
I want to manufrature item as PEN. All items are buy items
Can any one tell here how MS/MRP & ASCP will work to manufrature a pen.
What will be the flow of these 2 modules?
Thanks,
Edited by: user11362919 on Jul 9, 2009 1:11 AM

Hi
If I understand your qn correctly you are asking about a writing pen ?
Lets say it has parts like pen body,refill,top and cap all these items will have ''buy souricng rules''.
Based on demand for the end item ''Pen'' AsCP will explode BOM for the Pen and suggest supplies as planned orders for the components , which can be converted to Std PO or BPA release automatically. All that MRP module could be of use to you is to define Forecast demand for the item.

Financial And Capacity Planning Charts

Hi folks,
In 4.5 version, wWithin Financial And Capacity Planning when I click on View Chart, no chart is displayed. Error - NO Items to display.
There are plenty of items with correct financial info.
Any specific note or config/service to be made for this one?
Thanks!

Hi,
for this can u check whether in customisation u have defined any charting grps for Financial and Capacity.
Please check for your portfolio the following SPRO path.
SPRO -> xRPM -> Global Customizing -> Portfolio Depedent settings Define finanacial capacity settings for Portfolio type.
Here u need to select ur portfolio to check financial charting grps and capacity charting grps.
I hope this will help you to charts in rpm protal.

OPU5 settings and Capacity planning-CM01

Hi All,
I have a confusion while configuring the settings for scheduling for planned orders in REM environment PE order type, when i select the scheduling and capacity requirements in DS section system shows me capacity requirements in CM01,CM50 reports and also DS tab in planned order but when i deselect the same check boxes there si no data in CM01, CM02 or CM50,
If I need to generate the CM01, etc reports in REM environment , then do i need to select DS check boxes also?
My OPU5 settings are as attached in this case CM01 reports are fine.
Regards,
Anupam Sharma

Hi Anupam,
Screen shot is missing. Rate based scheduling is fine for REM.
Create a "Run schedule" planned order and schedule it via rate-based scheduling.
In transaction OPU5, choose order type PE and the plant you use.
Choose "Details" and in the field "Scheduling level", set "1 Via rate-based scheduling" and save the change.

HELP - MRP and Stock in subcontractor!

Hello SAP gurus,
I have a little problem with MRP and the stock in the subcontractor.
This is the scenario:
PLANT..........MRP ELEMENT..........QUANTITY
2100.............Free Stock..................500UN
2100.............Reser..........................700UN
2100.............PurRqs........................200UN
And I the stock in the subcontractor for the same material is 300UN...
Why is MRP creating a PurRqs instead of a stock transfer from subcontractor.
The Scope of check is considering subcontractor stock...
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Adelmo Silva

Hi,
As i Know MRP will not Consider , the Stock Available at Subcontractor. During the Net requirement calculation it will consider teh stock available at Plant. That is why it would have created PR.
During material Availabilty check it will consider as per settings at Scope of the Check.
One more Option is MRP area for the subcontractor , for More details please refer below SAP help.

What is MRP and why it is used?

hi
this question was asked in an interview can some one explain in detail for me
What is MRP and why it is used? If there are 2 Lakhs of items is it feasiable to run MRP since running of MRP for 2 lakhs of item is time consuming, if yes then how it is been done?
thanx

Dear Bashir,
1.MRP is material requirements planning which plans the required quantity of depedent material's along with the required date.
2.MRP procedure is sub divided into a normal MRP,Master Production Scheduling and Consumption Based Planning.
3.Cosnumtion BAsed planning is further sub-divided into Time Phased Planning,Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based
Planning.Reorder point planning can be automatic or Manual.
4.MRP type is differentiated using the MRP type value assigned in the MRP1 view of the material master.
5.Some of the MRP types are PD - MRP,M0,M1,M2,M3 - MAster Production Scheduling related,VB - Manual reorder point
planning,VM-Automatic reorder point planning.
6.It is possible to take the MRP for the whole plant/for a specific MRP area using the batch MRP job.
7.MDBT is the T Code for scheduling the MRP job or it can be scheduled for the program RMMRP000 using the T Code SM36
and the results can be checked using SM37.

Where are PS Availability and Capacity values stored?

Hi - I am running the Assignment Work by Resource report in Project Server; which returns a histogram and details table. The table contains AssignmentWork allocated to a Resource by month. In the MSP reporting database where can I find the Availability
and Capacity values?

My mistake overlooked the reporting DB views wherein within MSP_EPMResourceByDay_Userview has the column capacity available which in turn would give you the capacity "How much work the resource can do, for example hours per day" but then there are lot of
things to consider for eg. proposed vs commited, max units etc...
here is one such example already available on technet
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/projectserver/Server-2010-SQL-Get-5842010f
should be a good starting point

Kanban With MRP and with External vendors

We are implementing SAP 4.7 for one of clients and here is the requirement:
They want to use Kanban with external vendors where once KANBAN is empty, it should create a schedule line for the defined scheduling agreement. Problem is , we have to exclude the material from MRP in order to work with "External Purchase Orders" or "Scheduling Agreement" replenishryment category.
They do not want to exclude the KANBAN materials from MRP but want to use KANBAN for procurement with vendors.
Is this possible?
Because when we try replenishment strategy " Working with MRP" , SAP does not create any PO or Schedule line desite of maintaining all the data. Instead, SAP allows replenishment elements created in MRP run to flow thru and create PO/ Schedule lines.
Is it possible to include the material in plant MRP and still use external procurement kanban?

Hi Vikas
Ia m not familiar with asynchronous MRP. Can you elaborate on that? What specific settings we need to make for that?
Thanks for your help.
