Mrp area for subcontractor

Hy all,
could anyone help me??
How can I make fixed sc vendor (subcontractor vendor) field in a purchase requisition created from MRP?
Is possible to make this with MRP area for subcontractor ?
Please, could you suggest me the steps to implement this ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I talk about SC vendor , ( in my case the vendor is a subcontractor vendor ) field in purchase requisition.
I would make it fixed in the purchase requisition created from MRP without insert it and then flag sc field every time.
I think it is possible by the using of mrp area for subcontractor vendor, but i don't know the correct procedure to make this.
Thank you for your feedback.

Common MRP area for Multiple plants

Hai gurus,
I had created a MRP area called 'X' , this MRP area contians some 10 storage locations.
1) Now my question is whether I can assign the above MRP area 'X" to Multiple plants namely A/B and C
2) Can i run MRP for plant A seperately and plant B seperately and plant C seperately , so that the storage location
stocks in the MRP area 'X' is considered , and create the requirement accordingly, plant wise
waiting for the positive reply.
regards,
sekar chand

HAi,
The company has three plants, which is under same management, they produce some similar products in all plants
and some different products in each plants.
so the requirements from all the plants are collected , procurement is made commonly and stored in common storage
locations( As we are calling now as common MRP area) for all the three plants, and based on the requirement the raw material
is moved to three plants.
This is the scenario and not the simulation , so my question is can we assign one single common storage MRP area to
all the three plants, so that while running MRP run for each plant individually or under scope of planning, the stock under
common MRP area is considered each plants , and then the requirement is created accordingly.

sekar chand

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.

MRP area for running a sale order MRP

Hello PP experts,
I come across a scenario where , I need to do the MRP run for sale order in a MRP area. I have checked , I can put PIR with respect to MRP AREA , but when I open MD50 screen for running MRP for sale order. I did not found the MRP AREA
field in the screen.
In short , my question is , How the sale order MRP run , system will do in a MRP
area defined for the material ?
Here , I have already defined the material is MRP AREA and also I have created
MRP area segment in the material master.
I have also configured the MRP area in SPRO.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,

Hello ,
Thanks for reply.
I am using plant MRP area. For FERT , I am using make to order strategy 20.
I want to specify the real problem. It is like below.
Suppose 'A ' is sumassembly goes to a variant configured MTO KMAT say 'V'.
The same 'A' subassembly is a child for a make to stock FERT say ' S'.
Presently using strtegy 11 for MTS fert 'S' and 10 for the subassembly ---'A'.
Now the planner want to plan for the subassembly.
He is putting the PIR for the subassembly as sales order is not availble and he is putting the PIR for FERT 'S'.
When sales order is coming then additinal quantity planning is happening.
So I suggested to use the strategy 70 for subassembly 'A' , so the sales order (of 'V') OF quantity will be offset for the PIR of the SUBASSEMBLY 'A'.
But the consumption of PIR of 'A' will be apllicable to MTS FERT that is 'S'.
So how can we prevent the system from offsetting the dependent requiremet triggered from the PIR of 'A'.
That means the consumption (that is the usage of stategy 70) of the FERT requirement should only work for ' A' and sales order based KMAT 'V'.
The same offseting should not work for subassembly 'A' and MTS FERT 'S'.
For for Make to order KAMT 'V' , if I use MRP area and do the sales order planning in MRP area. Will I get the desired result ?
Waiting for reply.

Ravindra

Subcontractor MRP Area

Hi
We tried with subcontracting MRP Area. We want this for RM. Now my doubt is do i have to run MRP for FG's in which it is used or for RM?
Second thing; in case i run MRP for FG & that for plant level; i m not getting any dependant req for RM b'cos it is maintained at subcontractor MRP Area level
Please tell me where am i missing & what should i do so that if i run MRP for FG at plant level; i should see requirements generated for RM (maintained in SubCon MRP Area) in MD04 or in any report
Matter urgent
Rgds

Hi Vichy,
U must have created an MRP area for subcontractor and have entered teh Vendor name at customzing.
The dependent requirements of the components to be provided are only assigned to the MRP area of the subcontractor when the system can determine the subcontractor as the source of supply for the assembly. The source of supply is determined using the source list.
if u run the MRP for FG at plant level, system finds the Vendor name is same as assigned at MRP area , it will assign the the Depenedent requiremnents of components at sub con MRP area level otherwise it will assign at plant level.
please check and comeback

Sap pp -MRP-area

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls tell me the Procedure/steps/Details to maintain MRP-area for a Vendor & also for a Sub-Contractor.
Any comments welcome & Thanks in advanc

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

Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

Dear guru,
In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
How can I do that ?

Dear Murugesan ,
in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
as required entries in the screen sequence.
But when I create/change mrp area fields the system dont consider as required these fields.
Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
Thanks.

Any Prerequisite for adding MRP Area?

Hi Gurus,
I need to add MRP area data to a large number of materials. I tried testing for some material . For some materials I am able to add the data. For other I am not able to add.
Is there any prerequisite for adding MRP area to a material?
Can some suggest any BAPI to add/ update MRP area for a material?
I am basically a ABAPer and don't have much Idea about MRP area. Please suggest any link where I can learn overview about MRP area.
Thanks in Advance,
KG

hi,
the prerequisities for MRP area are
1> ACTIVATE MRP AREA
2> DEFINE MRP AREAS.u will find the settings under the menu path:
SPRO > IMG > MATERIAL MANAGEMENT > CONSUMPTION BASED PLANNING > MASTER DATA > MRP AREAS
or u can find it under the menu path:
SPRO > IMG > PRODUCTION > MATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING > MASTER DATA > MRP AREAS.

BOM Explosion for MRP Area

Dear Expert,
I have doubt regarding BOM explosion for MRP Area. This doubt is triggered when performing MD01, as result I do not find the dependent requirement in MD04 for my FG. I have maintained the BOM through CS61 and MRP area for all component, I understand that only component level system is taking into account MRP area (storage location). FYI before maintaining all components to MRP area, the BOM explosion was successful exploded. Your advice is appreciated.
Best regards,
Mahnansa

Dear,
Please check the Explosion control in Customizing, Transaction OMIW.
Try to explode the BOM in CS11 , CS12 or CS13 if it is working there in curret date then chack the planning file entry in MD21.
You need to convert the planning file entery at MRP area in OM0F.
Also note the dependent requirement is not generated in the corresponding MRP area to which the production storage location in the material master has been not assigned for the data of the MRP area.

Change vendor in MRP area - SC Direct delivery

Hi,
I need to change the vendor in my MPR area for subcontractor. I receive the following error:
"Vendor 1234 is being used by material ZZZ, therefore cannot be changed"
The material has of course already been assigned to the MRP area as the was requered for the flow using the previous vendor.

Hi,
Try this. First remove the vendor assigned to the material. Then assign new vendor.

MRP AREA

Hi
I have created MRP AREA FOR MATERIAL with procurement type F.
Also production storage location and EP storage location is maintained in MRP Area.
Planning file entry is available for material and mrp area.
SLoc MRP indicator is 1.
But this material is getting planned in PLANT MRP area.
Am I missing any config

Hi,
Materials are planned in more that one area, according to where the requirements are. So, in your case, even if you have defined all these definitions, but you have requirements in the plant MRP area, you'll get planning there too.

Mario

MRP area data tables

Hello all,
We want to know the tables where the MRP area data for a storage location is stored. We are looking table which are similar to MDKP and MDTB in which the noraml MRP data is stored. we do not use comsumption planning at the Mrp area level and we have scheduling agreements which go the the mrp area storage location and we get a STO from the storage location to the production storage location. I am looking for data which is displayed in MD06 for the MRP area. Thanks in Advance.
