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?

Replenishment delivery for material with MRP areas and Avl Check

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

1) According to SAP when inbound deliveries are used and your delivery item category is set up for mvt type 101, these should be received with transaction VL32N. If you use MIGO/MB0A instead the GR status in the delivery will not be updated. If you then report on open deliveries you'll notice that nothing is received in the course of time. Amazing. Now if you set up the delivery item category without the movement type your inbound will not even be GR relevant. Just one of these things that's nice to be aware of.

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).

Subcontract MRP Area with quota usage - urgent

We have a subcontractor supplying assembly X which in turn require us to supply component Y to the subcontractor. We have two vendor for supplying component Y to subcontractor. Scheduling agreement with component vendors are set up for direct delivery to subcontractor. Both the scheduling agreements are included in the source list with MRP indicator 2. Quota arrangement is set up for the component.
We have set subcontractor MRP area and assigned the same to component Y material master. Special procurement key 20 is assigned in subcontractor MRP area. Quota usage and source list are duly enabled. Quota usage indicator is 3 which provides for MRP, PR, schedule line etc.,
When we run MRP ffor component Y for subcontract MRP area, system is generating schedule line for but without update quota file. Further, the scheduling agreement picked up is not of the correct vendor as per Quota logic.
Does SAP support quota usage with subcontract MRP area. If not, is there a work around.
Shall appreciate urgent response

Dear Ravi,
you will get a seperate location product for your material. MRP areas in apo are represented by a seperate location (type 1007 = storage location mrp area). You can transfer your ecc mrp areas via cif (CFM1). The master data you maintain in mrp section of the material master in R/3 will be trasfered to that location product. Furthermore you can maintain it manually in apo MAT1 (location = name of your mrp area). That technique provides you the possibility to maintain different parameters for the plant and the mrp area.
Kind regards,
Christian

Stock Transport from plant to MRP Area

I have been looking for explanation on how to handle replenishment of MRP area storage location stocks within a plant. We use Special procurement types but they are set up on for plants, not MRP areas. Can anyone explain how this works and the configuration to make it work? Were setting up a warehouse as an MRP area and need to replenish its stocks with MRP.

Aren't your questions answered in SAP online help?
Integration
The process is the same as for Storage Location MRP. In contrast to the storage location MRP, you can use all MRP procedures and are not limited to the reorder point planning procedure.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for MRP, you have created the special procurement key for Stock transfer from plant to MRP area for the plant in which the MRP area is located. You have defined the following parameters:
- Procurement type: F for External procurement
- Special procurement: U for Stock transfer
- Plant: Number of plant, to which the MRP area belongs.
In the material master, you have created the MRP area segment and assigned the special procurement key Stock transfer from plant to MRP area.
Features
During MRP, the system generates a stock transfer reservation for the material in the MRP area and a material reservation in the plant MRP area.
The external procurement storage location that you have entered in the MRP area segment of the material master is used as the receiving storage location. If you have not maintained this field, the system uses the receiving storage location that you entered for the MRP area in Customizing.
The actual procurement is processed by the plant. With stock transfer to the MRP area, you carry out the transfer posting for the material with reference to the reservation.
Standard procurement key 45 is for that purpose: plant: 1000 (V460A-WERKS), procurement key F; special procurement: U; plant: 1000 (V460A-WRK02).
So, in both fields you have to write the same plant as it is clearly written in SAP onilne help.
As SAP help says: a Stock transfer reservation is created. Using MIGO (A08; R09) you can post the goods movement by mvt 311 with reference to the Stock transfer reservation (MB1A is also good).
Why don't you test in in your sandbox system and you will see how it works.
(If you want to use STO (purchasing document type UB) in this process you have to go trough OSS note 599915)

Planning a materail at plant level and the MRP Area

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to plan the same material at the plant level and at the MRP area level ( Storage location MRP)?. If so please provide the steps how this needs to be set-up. what will the implications on the MRP.
Thanks!
Nagesh.

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

Make field MDMA-DISGR (MRP Group, MRP Area) mandatory in material master

We are using MRP Area (Storage location) and I want to make MRO Group (MDMA-DISGR) mandatory. It is not in the list of fields (IMG > Logistics) to where field selection for material masters is set.
Am I missing something -- or can this field not be made mandatory?
Thanks

Hi
MRP group(MARC-DISGR) is maintained under selection group 51 (Transaction code - OMSR)
You can miantain the selection in Tcode OMS9 based on the filed refernce key using for the material type.
i am not sure is this you are looking for.
Thanks & Regards

MRP Period Setting ?

Hi gurus,
i need some help to understand MRP behaviour. i have a doubt how MRP planning Period will be decided.
when i run MRP it genarates requiremets for different period.
EX : if i maintain PIR for A material for a six months. and i Run MRP for the same system genarating planned orders only for three months, and two moths for some time.
my doubt is how system knows the planning period. where we have to maintain the setting.
thanks&Regards,
venkat.

Hello Venkat
You should make sure that all the requirements that must be considered by MRP are within the planning horizon.
Therefore, if you have 6 months of PIRs, you should use a longer planning horizong. You can use, for example, 300 days or even a longer period if necessary.
Please observe that the planning horizon can also be defined at MRP group level on transaction OPPR. Therefore, you may have a different planning horizon for some specific materials.

Interested in bringing Past Due forecast from MRP Forecast Sets to ASCP

We are on 12.1.3 (EBS and ASCP) and are interested in bringing a week of past due forecast from MRP Forecast set into ASCP. We are running EDD plan.
Following have been enabled but no luck yet, open to suggestions or explanations.
1. Include Past Due Forecast = 5
2. Spread Forecast Evenly = checked (as we are in weekly buckets)
3. Demand Time Fence control = checked on plan options
4. Item are enabled for Demand Time Fence days = 0
5. Complete Collections and Plan have been ran.
Observation - Since the week start date is on Monday, when the plan ran from Tuesday, it brings the forecast for current week from Tuesday of that week onwards breaking into days. But it doesn't bring in forecast for Monday or prior week days.
Per ASCP guide, Include Past Due Forecast is useful only in case of Oracle Demand Planning.
Any help in this regards is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

MRP Areas

I have defined MRP areas for our plant, however I'm not certain about the Conversion of the Planning File for MRP Areas if this will give me an option to convert specific plants or is it going to convert every plant?
Please help, thanks.

Hi
The first process in MRP is the checking of the planning file.The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which planning run) are controlled by the planning file.
The planning file contains a list of all materials relevant to the planning run. As soon as a material master record is created with MRP data and a valid MRP type, this material is then automatically included in the planning file.
First you have to define the MRP area and Create MRP views for the Materials.Then automaticlly materials entered in Planning file.
If a material was created before the planning run was activated for a plant, you must generate an entry in the planning file for all materials in this plant that are to be included in the planning run.
This function can only be carried out in background mode.
Procedure
1.Starting from the MRP menu choose Planning ® Planning file entry ® Set up in background.
The initial screen for the setting up of planning file entries appears.
2.You can use a selection variant to plan the creation of planning file entries at a later date, or you can start the process immediately.
3.Once you have started the process, the system checks each material in this plant to see whether it is relevant for MRP. If a material fulfills the appropriate prerequisites, it is included in the planning file and either the net change planning indicator or the net change planning horizon indicator is set.

Subcontracting with MRP area

Hi,
we have a FERT material that is in the MRP area by storage location.
This material was produced internally. When we ran MRP the requirements and planed orders for FERT material and its components were showed in MRP area. It was ok
Nowadays this FERT material was changed to subcontracted.
We don't have a defined supplier for FERT material.
When I run MRP the requirements and planed orders for FERT material are still in MRP area.
When we run MRP for components, the requirements and planned orders go to MRP plant.
This way if we have in MRP area documents placed to cover the requirements from FERT material, MRP will suggest to cancel them. In MRP plant the MRP will suggest to create another documents to cover. How can We avoid this problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
If your FERT material is set to F , 30 then your MRP run in MRp Area will not create any dependent requirement.
Assuming the setting is X in Material Master,
Given an option please remove the MRP Area planning and the PIR related to that and shift PIR for you FERT material to Plant level in mD61,MD62. This should avoid Planned order getting created in MRP Ara and Plant.
in my past experience unlesss you want to do Planning run with Scope as planning as Vendor th euse of MRP Area for planning for PIR leads to confusion for End users.
Hope this helps.
Thx

Rounding value at MRP area level

Hi All,
We are using MRP areas at storage location level. Also we have maintained rounding value , one at plant level in mRP1 view and one at MRP area level for that particular storage location.
Now when we run MRP for that storage location specific MRP area one would assume that it picks up the rounding value maintained in that MRp area,but it is picking up the value maintained at plant level.
Am I missing some setting or is it std. system behaviour..pl. advise.
Tks..kiran

Hi Inguva
Can you give more detail of your solution? I have the same problem, MRP is creating requisitions using the lot size parameters from the MRP area but when converting to an STO using ME21N the lot size parameters from the plant are applied.
This usually increases the PO quantity beyond the PR quantity and I get an error message "06076 - Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full"
It's driving me crazy so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Transaction data in MRP areas in APO

Hi,
We are using storage location MRP areas in APO.In ECC we have a storage location 5000 under plant 1000. We have defined storage location as MRP area and transferred to APO. Now we have two locations in APO one is 1000 and another location 5000 (with location type 1007).one material is existing in both these locations. We have a forecast in location 5000 and a Pur requisition is created for this material in 5000 after SNP heuristics. We are able to see the Pur Requisition in 5000 location in the product view.But when we are looking in 1000 location in the product view,we are not able to see the same purchase requisition.Is this standard functionality or am i missing any setting?
In ECC we can see the same purchase requisition in both the MRP areas in 5000 and 1000 in MD04. But the same is not in APO? we are not able to see in 1000 plant in product view but could see in 5000 location in product view.
Any one has this issue?
Thanks
Chandrakanth

Hello Chandrakanth,
Check if the storage MRP area is not been transfered to APO as Plant.
Take a look on note 896482, perhaps it can helps in analyze how you are CIFing the MRP areas to APO.
Hope it helps.

Upload Forecasting parameters on MRP area level

Hi there,
Is there a way I can automate via Bapi or Idoc, the upload of the forecasting parameters on MRP area level.
The MRP area data is uploaded via IDOC /ISDFPS/MDMA but there is nothing foreseen for the forecast parameters.
Parameters that should be uploaded are DPOP-KZINI and DPOP-PRMOD.
Anyone an idea?

Dear Essam,
Please try the following procedure.
1. Create Plan in flexible planning --> MC93 (In this step you create Sales plan in flexible planning )
2.Sales plan verification transfer to active version--> MC8V (In this step you verify and transfer to active version)
3.Transfer sales plan to production plan -->MC8Q (In this step you transfer to sales plan to production plan)
4.Create Inactive Demand in Demand Management -->MD61 (In this step you create Independent Requirement which can be
simulative requirements. These requirements are set after analyzing sales forecast and production requirements together)
I hope it may help you out..
Feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Mohit

PR in MRP Area not appeared

Dear SAP Guru,
hi, i have a case if anyone can help !
i have material X with MRP area R0001 (Vendor 0001) with plant A, when i run MRP .. PR exist in MRP area R0001
but when i change MRP area into R0020 (Vendor 0020) and set deletion flag MRP area R0001 (vendor 0001) and run MRP
the result not in MRP area R0020 .. but in plant level MRP area that's MRP area A
why the result not int new MRP area R0020 ? can anyone help this issue
thank you
Regards
Budhi
Edited by: A_Budhi_P on Oct 27, 2010 5:46 AM

Hi
For the Material X
=========================================
You have Created the new MRP AREA >>>>> R00020.
Also, you mentioned that, deletion Flag is set for the Old MRP AREA >>>>R0001
=========================================
After Creating this New MRP AREA>>>R0020,
1) Did you assigned this New MRP AREA >>.>R0020 in the Material Master (MRP1 ) for the material X ?
2)When Running the MRP,
you have to run the MRP with the MRP AREA>>.>R0020. Means, you have to enter the following
Material : x
MRP AREA : R0020
Plant : Plant Code
Then run the MRP
In this case you will get PRs, against the requirements of the Material x, For the given MRP AREA>>>R0020
Please check & revert
