MRP Area issue

Hi Experts,
I have the following business scenario. My sales order are created based on contracts. After I activate my MRP area functionality, notice that my MRP run was not working anymore. After making some analysis I noitce that my Sales Order are being created with some MRP area that can be checked on the availability check on the sales order VA03 transaction.
It seems that this MRP area is coming now from the contract, the fact is that I cannot understand why this kind of behavior, since the material is not activated by MRP area and since the MRP area is different from the plant, then the MRP run did not work.
Please, could anyone help me on that?
Kind regards
Oliver F

  • MRP areas--Component To be issues for different MRP areas

    Dear All
    I have this scenario for MRP areas--- MRP area 2000 and 3000..these areas are basically 2 separate physical production facitilties...One is main production plant and other is lab for making samples.... But they store the raw material stock seprately..stock for raw material for main production is in main warehouse 2000 and stock for samples lab in in their mini warehosuese 3000.
    Busniess wants to consume stock from main production warehosue when doing main production and to consume stock from samples warehosue when doing samples production. BUT header item is same and raw materials are also same. Means the same BOM.
    Example-- FG1 and it has RM1 and RM2 in BOM
    Kindly help to do settings\configuration somehow that when we do production in 2000, compoenent are comsumed from 2000 and when we do production in 3000, components from 3000.
    I extended FG on both MRP areas. even for RM1 anf RM2, i extended it on both MRP areas. So in MRP2 view prodcution stprage location is 2000 and with MRP area MRP 2 view production storage location is 3000.
    It did not work.

    Hi,
    What you need is a way to determine the proper issue storage location for the two cases.
    Since, as you say, the BOM is the same, you need to use production versions. In the definition of the production version you can control the issue storage location for the components of the order.
    All you need then is to choose the right production version for each case when you create the order.

  • Can PIR created at wbs element and MRP area of storage location level

    Hi,
    I tried to create an planned independent requirement at MRP area and WBS element level, but failed. The MRP area is not plant level, but storage location level.
    *When trying to create account assignment category Q for it, then there is an error message saying:*
    **only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level.**
    Does it mean it is not possible to create planned independent requirement for this case?
    Thanks!

    Select the "Issue storage location" as '2' here:
    spro -> production -> material requirement planning -> mrp groups -> overall maintenance of mrp groups -> overview -> mrp control parameters at material level -> (field) Issue storage location selection
    & make sure:
    1. In the BOM  issue storage location is blank for the components
    2. For the FG products , in mrp area prod.storage loc is maintained
    3. Components are extended to the mrp area.
    Pl. revert with the results

  • Availability check with MRP area at Sloc level

    HI We have MRP area at storage location level maintained for materials. Stock exists in the plant in the storage location which is part of the MRP area.
    Now when I create STO and try to create delivery for the same, system is giving message 0 stock available and not creating delivery. Material has 02 Avl Chck group.If I deactivate the MRP area in the material master, it allows creation of delivery.
    How can I ensure that system creates delivery even though stocks exist in MRP area relevant sloc only in the plant?
    Sriram

    I am sure you have already moved on from this issue, but what you mention is a limitation prior to ECC 6.  You can not identify on the purchasing document the source sloc of the supplying plant.  This is why you can not create the STO between sloc MRP areas.  I was told this was resolved in ECC 6.

  • MD04 - Subreq - Storage location MRP area

    Hi all,
    I have an issue of Subreq in MD04 which is not assigned to the the good MRP area.
    I'm explaining :
    Business process
       -> I work with a subcontractor
            case 1 : either I buy raw material to be processed and delivered it directly to my subcontractor
            case 2 : either I send raw material from my physical stock to my subcontractor
       -> I create subcontracting purchase order with indication as components, the raw material.
       -> In case of the components are already in my subcontractor (case 1), the reservation (Subreq) should not consume my physical stock.
       -> In case of the components are in my physical stock (case 2), the reservation (Subreq) should consume the physical stock.
    Solution choosen
    Then I decided to create a storage location MRP area : "EXTERN" as External.
    I assigned a storage location "EXT" to this MRP area.
    I assigned this MRP area to the material in MRP1 / MRP Area.
    In the purchase order, in the components popup,
      For case 1 :  I assigned "EXT" as Prod.Stor.Loc and Supply area
      For case 2 : nothing special is filled
    Issue
    For the case 1, althought I assigned the storage location "EXT", the Subcontractor Requirement is not attached to the good MRP area.
    WHY?
    Remark : I didn't use the subcontracting MRP area because I would like to have 2 cases : case 1 & case 2.
    Thank you in advance for your help about this problem which make me nervous !

    Hello Catherine
    Your system is working as designed. The following note explains the system design in more detail:
    503497 - Subcontracting and MRP areas
    Take a look on the relevant information provided by this note below:
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The most important point to understand the system behavior is the fact that the withdrawal of the (subcontracting) component is generally carried out during the goods receipt for an SC procurement proposalfrom the subcontractor stock that is managed at plant level from an inventory management point of view and that has no reference to a storage location at all.
    This causes that subcontractor requirements can never enter a storage location MRP area, since you can later not post the withdrawal from this MRP area.
    Thus SC-requirements always enter the SC segment of the plant MRP area or the SC-MRP area.
    The SC MRP area in turn is supplied by stock transfer reservations from the plant MRP area or via third-party order processing through procurement proposals with goods receipt directly to the subcontractor. A supply through the materials planning from a storage location MRP area is not possible.
    For the above reason, SC-requirements do also not carry any storage location, since the storage location does not have any control function at all for SC-requirements:
    You cannot and you should not determine a storage location MRP area (see above), and the subcontractor MRP area is determined via the vendor of the procurement proposal, thus it is independent of the storage location.
    See also Note 376050 on this topic that makes a modification available which prevents the deletion of the storage location in the subcontractor requirements, so that you can use, for example, customer-specific reports to analyze the storage location.
    Please observe that the mentioned modification note 376050 only makes the storage location available on table RESB, so that you can use it on custom report. This modification will not make the storage location to be considered by MRP or on MD04.

  • Query related to RM maintained for two MRP areas.

    Hi PP Gurus,
    The scenario is we modeled two Storage location MRP Areas say 1001 and 2001. There are two FG getting manufactured at them, say FG-1 at 1001 and FG-2 at 2001. Say there are three RMs viz. RM-1, RM-2, and RM-3. RM-1 and RM-2 included in FG-1  BOM and RM-3 and RM-2 in FG-2 BOM. Means RM-2 is common in both MRP areas.
    Now I've extended FG-1 and FG-2 for respected MRP areas. RM-1 extended to MRP area 1001, and in MRP views of material master, Production storage location and Storage location for EP is maintained as 1001. Same is maintained for RM-3 except MRP area as 1001, it's 2001.
    The concern is about RM-2, though I extended RM-2 for both MRP areas i.e. 1001 and 2001 but I can maintain Production storage location and Storage location for EP either as 1001 or 2001. So whenever I'm taking MRP run, for RM-2 it's either proposing 1001 or 2001 as Storage location for withdrawl or EP.
    My requirement is when I run MRP for FG-1 system should show me Sloc for RM-2 as 1001 and in case of FG-2 as 2001.
    As a try I tried to remove Production and Issue Sloc from MRP views and maintained Issue Sloc/Receive Sloc in PV of FG-1 and FG-2 but still unable to get the requirement fulfil.
    Please make prompt comments
    Thanks & Regards,
    Abu Arbab

    Dear ALL
    my requirement is exactly same as above that i need my component to be issued from different slocs depending on diffreent MRP areas in which they are being planned.
    But in my case FG is same and is being planned in 2 different MRP areas. So my BOM is same in both cases.
    For eaxmple--2000 is MRP area 1 and 3000 is MRP area 2
    Requirement is components should be issued from 2000 when panned in 2000 and from 3000 when planned in FG is planned in 3000.
    Kindly let me know what settings are required at components level to do this
    thanks

  • MRP Area Wise Run for Sales Requirenment

    Greetings..
                                I have two raw material (Trading).....in MRP view i defines these material under MRP area ...(Respective setting done in SPRO)
    Now i created sales order for these Raw material .
    Now in MD04 ...i m getting requirement but under plant....if i choose MRP area i m not getting Requirement...so if i try MD01 ...under MRP i m not getting Result of MRP..
    I need two Run MRP only for MRP area which assigned to Raw material in Material Master
    i m using Startegy 40..
    What else setting i have to do for getting Run with MRP area (MD01)

    1) Convert planning file entries - you must first convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to MRP area level in the planning file  (OM0F)
    2) Activate MRP for MRP areas (Production ->MRP -> Master Data -> MRP areas -> Activate MRP for MRP areas)
    3) Define MRP areas
    4) Assign material to MRP areas in Material master MRP1 view
    The allocation to a storage location MRP area is made using the storage location that the system determines during the planning run. This is determined on the basis of the storage location entered in the BOM (BOM item), in the work center (production supply area), or in the production version or in the material master. This storage location must be included in the MRP area that you have assigned in the material master. In addition, it is necessary that the view "Storage 1" or "Storage 2" exists for this storage location in the material master.
    Sales orders are assigned to a MRP area depending on their storage location (the issue storage location in the shipping screen of the item details).

  • MRP Area field in the stock overview screen (tcode MMBE)

    Hi,
    I am curious if there is a way for us to disable the system from populating the MRP area field in the selection screen in tcode MMBE? I checked this with a developer and he told me that the system assigns it based on the last transaction or last few transactions where the MRP area was used.
    So for example, I am in tcode MD04 to look at a material for MRP area SLOC 0005. Then when I enter tcode MMBE, the system will immediately populate the MRP Area field as SLOC 0005. Is there a way for me to prevent the system from filling this field? I only want this field to be manually entered. It is because it is misleading and most end users won't even remember or bother to scroll down the screen all the time. I read that there were notes for this but all of them are for ECC 6 and our system now is on ECC 6 EHP 5.
    Can you please help me with this? Thank you.
    Regards,
    Chester

    Hi Chinna,
    Thank you for your reply. I have checked the thread below and I think the two options that I have are to use a variant or to do some modifications. I will check the latter with the ABAP resource. As for your 3 comments there, I don't think I will disable the history and I have tried the parameter value but it was not working. For some reason, the system was overwriting the empty value of parameter ID BERID. Thanks!

  • MRP Areas in Flexible Planning?

    Hi,
    we are in the process of evaluating different planning tools for our long term planning. And I guess we have two options: APO-DP and Flexible Planning in ECC. We are a non manufacturing (government) organisation and want to try to forecast/plan future demand and requirements. We are getting our demands from maintenance orders and cost center consumption. Reqs are in the form of components on maintenance orders and STO's between storage locations in different MRP areas.
    Is it possible to do flexible planning and taking mrp areas into account. Will it be possible to forecast future demands on Plant and MRP area level. Mind we are not selling anything through sales order, so we are not actively using SD org structure.
    Best regards,
    Kenneth

    Dear,
    APO-DP  Vs  Flexible Planning in ECC.  Yes  APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
    The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
    If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
    Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS  Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

  • MRP Area Setting

    Hi, expert
    I have the following scenario:
    I got a transit sloc 1510 where goods will be backflush to this location first, then use mvt 311 to transfer to 1530 (fg whse) and 1520 (fg whse), and we want to seperate the material planning for 1530 and 1520.
    So, we use MRP area to do this:
    I set up 2 storage location MRP area: 1530, 1520
    sloc 1530 assigned to MRP area 1530, rec loc 1530
    sloc 1520 assigned to MRP area 1520, rec loc 1520
    Item A MRP4 setting:
    Production Version: Issue storage location: 1910, rec sloc: 1510
    Already assigned MRP area 1530 to this item A
    I created a sales order for ITEM A, in sales order, I specific the sloc 1530. Then I run MD02 using MRP area 1530. When I view the result in MD04, the rec loc for plan order is 1530 instead of 1510 (seems like MRP 4 production version setting is ignored).
    I try to add sloc 1510 in MRP area 1530 in SPRO, and then run MD04, the planned order rec loc becomes 1510, and this is what I want. But the problem is when I assign 1510 to MRP area 1520, system prompt error that 1510 already assign to other MRP area, it seems that only 1 sloc can be assigned to 1 MRP area, but based on my scenario, both 1520 and 1530 sharing 1 transit loc 1510, and I want the planning to be diff for 1520 and 1530, how should I proceed? how to configure MRP area?

    I only want to have 1 transit sloc 1510, all the goods will backflush to this sloc first, then later distribute to diff sloc. If follow what you said, I need to create multiple dummy storage location for each MRP area, If I have 8 MRP area, means 8 dummy sloc need to be created, this is not very practical and very hard to maintain.
    Any better suggestion?

  • Subcontracting with MRP areas / Customer consigment

    Dear all,
    I'm currently looking for some information regarding subcontracting processes with MRP areas.
    On the first hand I need a general overview how subcontracting purchase orders would be handled with MRP areas. In addition I'm really interested in the replenishment of the subcontractor stocks. On the other hand some facts about the customizing would be fine.
    My second topic is consigment stocks at the customer. So I need similar information as for the MRP areas but regarding this customer consigment.
    It would be really great if someone has some literature recommendations or official documentations about these issue.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Regards
    Enrico

    Hi Enrico,
    Working with subcontracting and MRP area's gives you the option to plan the requirements for the subcontractor separately and you can then order the components separately. This functionality is used when working with scheduling agreements and direct deliveries to the subcontractor as there this is a requirement.
    A second instance where one would use and MRP area with sucontracting is that when a material is used both by the subcontractor and it's also used directly in the plant production. The requirements for the subcontractor can be separately planned using an MRP area.
    The following links may give you some more information regarding working with subcontracting and MRP area's

  • 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.

  • MRP Areas error message

    Hi
    In implementing MRP areas, we created and assigned MRP area to material and later on deleted the config for the MRP area definition without deleting it from material master. We get an error message MD318 - MRP area has not been defined, which is an internal error, there is no oss note fixes for this issue but OSS note exists for MD319...can anyone please suggest me any options to resolve this error.

    Dear Sender,
    I was checking answer for the same error. and I saw this note. the answer may not be useful as it was in 2011, could be helpful for other checking current and in future.
    I resolved by configuring the MRP area in MDLV table along with the MRP Parameters for the plant.
    The Products created already without the MRP area were updated as MRP area at plant level for our scenario.
    Thanks
