MRP Areas Activation

Is there an option for one to only activate MRP Areas for a specific plant instead of activating for all plants in client?
Thanks.

MRP area activation is must if you would to carry out planning using "scope of planning"...in scope of planning you can group the plants or storage location or sub-contractors and run the MRP at one time. This you can do from MDBT/MD01 transaction in backgorund/online. This option for carry out plannning for MRP areas is not available with other transaction like MD02/MD03.
If you are working with plant level MRP from MD01/MDBT and not using the MRP area then you just have activate the MRP for plant from OMDU transaction. For this MRP area activation is not neccesary.
"MRP area Activation will not effect to the plant which are enabled for plant level MRP from OMDU transaction" Both are having different significance and importance.
Hope the above clarifications is clear.
If satisfy please close this thread or please inform for any more doubts.

MRP AREA NETCH indicator missing in planning file entry

Hi,
MRP has been activated at MRP area level storage location level and there were no planning file entries for some materials because we were using the LSMW program RMDATIND for uploading the materials and there was no update flag for Planning File entries. Later we have updated the Direct input session with update Flag.
I already ran the MDAB and MDRE so by the missing planning file entries.
We are running the background job RMMRP000 for the MRP. There are some materials which are not being planned in the background job. When i run the MRP for the same materials in MD02/MD03, the procurement proposals are being created using MD02/MD03.
I checked in MD21, we can see the Planning file entries then there no indicator for NETCH.
What could be the reason?

Planning file entry for MRP Area

Hi,
To create planning file entry in the background at plant level we use Transaction MDAB. I would like to know that if MRP area is active than whats the T-code for planning file entry in the background at mrp area level?? To create manualy in the Trx md20 we have that option to select mrp area & plant. So please let me know yours view on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear,
If planning file entry are there on plant level then system will convert same on MRp area level. Have you check that tables? (DBVM)
For planning file entry at MRP area lvel , use report RMDBVM00 (transaction OM0F) to convert the existing table MDVM with the planning file entries into table DBVM. The conversion is also described in MRP Customizing: TA OPP1 -> Planning File Entries.
There is no need of MDAB just check your entry in MD21 take a MRP run at MRP area lvel and come back if any problem.
If you want to schedule it on MRP area lvel then use the MDRE or use program RMMDVM10 and in variant here select the MRP Area redio button.

MRP Areas on storage location Basis

Hi,
I created some MRP areas for different storage locations, and assigned those MRP Areas to material(MRP 1 View). Every thing looks fine as of now.
1)Now when I have seen some forums, I seen Convert planning file entries (SE38 program RMDBVM00), I never done conversion of planning files, can any one tell me what is the importance of it? I didn't done conversion of planning files, will that have any impact on MRP Run.
Thanks
Aplha

Alpha,
Can I convert planning files now, In D,Q and P, will that effect MRP Run?
As expert Caetano has said repeatedly, of course it will affect the MRP run.
The whole purpose of having Development, Quality, and Production systems is to ensure that any changes made in software do not disrupt your business. In any sane environment, you first perform your changes (such as converting your planning file entries) in dev, and perform unit testing. Once you have convinced yourself that the change is worthy of testing, you then move the changes to Qual, where typically your company performs Integration and User Acceptance testing. Only after the business community and the IT community have tested and are satisfied with the results, should you then perform the changed process in Production.
In short, you shouldn't be asking us in SCN when it is OK to perform the activity in the Productive system, you should be following your company's 'change management' processes, which usually involve, at a minimum, asking your company's user community if the change is acceptable to them.

Mass processing of MRP areas

Hi All,
Is there any way to mass processing of MRP Areas in Material master?
We want to create MRP areas for a number of materials.
regards,
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
Use T.Code: MM17
Field: MARC-DIBER (this is only for Activation check box )
For inside MRP Area filelds, check
T.code: SM30
Table: CIF_IMMTMRPA (Integration Model Reference Table for Material)
Table: MDMA (MRP Area for Material)

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

Problem with MRP area

Gurus,
I had activated MRP area for exisitng client.
The scenario is,
Within a plant i have two MRP area. One is plant level (A) and the other one is storage location level (B)
A finished good and its components belongs to both the MRP areas. (A and B) I created a Planned Independent Requirement for finished good at storage location MRP area (B) and run MRP via MD02 for MRP area B, i got a planned order at MRP area B. But the dependent requirements for the components are created at MRP area (A) plant level.
My requirement is to get the dependent requirements at MRP area B for pegged requirements of MRP area B.
Suggestion to this isue is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aravind

Hi pravin,
Thank you for the reply.
Initially my client was not activated for MRP area. So when i activated MRP area, throughout my client for each of the existing plants an MRP area is created by default. So, all the materials that belongs to the plant, by default belongs to the plant MRP area.(A)
I created one more Storage location level MRP area (B) and assigned that to MRP 1 view of the finished good and all of its components. I also created a planned independent requirement for the finished good at MRP Area B. that is i can see the requirement in MD04 screen only with the MRP area B and not in MRP area A.
Then i ran MRP for the finished thru MD02 for MRP Area B. I got a planned order in MD04 of MRP area B.
As you are aware MD04 screen is specific for particular MRP area.
This planned order is not displayed in MD04 screen of MRP Area A. But the dependent requirements for the components are not displayed in MD04 screen of B. But the dependent requirements are seen in MD04 Screen of MRP area A.
As per my understanding the dependent requirements of components should be displayed in MD04 screen of B as my pegged requirements are from MRP area B.
Kindly suggest and please let me know if any thing is not clear.
Regards,
Aravind

MRP area- settings are missing in material master

Dear All,
I am working on MRP area. As I was going through the SAP library, it was given that the some settings are need to be done in MRP 4 view for the perticular storage locations. But I am unable to find those settings in material masters, without which I can't proceed further. Kindly guide me. I am using ECC 6.0.
Dear Rupesh Brahmankar, heartiest congratulations for achieving the milestone. Keep up the good work.
Regards
SmanS

Dear SAP Consultant,
Pls check whether MRP is activated for your material master thru Tcode OMS2.
This can be activated by selecting MRP under user departments in detail screen of material type in Tcode OMS2.

Abhee.

Consider planned delivery time field in MRP Areas

Hi,
I would like to know if the "Consider Planned Delivery Time" field in the MRP areas is taken into the scheduling of materials during MRP run? From the help documentation, it seems to be yes. Otherwise the system will take the Planned Delivery Time from the Plant level. May I ask how we can tick this field for all materials? We are currently in the process of activating the MRP areas in our system. Before, we didn't use the MRP areas but we think the need for it has arrived. Is there a mass maintenance tool to do this? Or do I have to use LSMW? Thanks!
Regards,
Chester

Hello Chester
If you flag the field "consider planned delivery time" the planned delivery time defined on the MRP area will be considered by MRP. You should tick it for all the materials if the value from the MRP area should be considered.
Also, the report RMMDDIBE can be used for mass processing of MRP areas.

Run MRP by MRP area - Tcode?

Experts -
How I can run MRP for MRP area? We have few MRP areas and assigned to many materials. MD01 is for plant level, I am looking for simmliar transaction (not background job) that can run MRP for MRP area.
Thanks for your time-

Hi Air,
Normally Planning of materials takes place on a plant level
By usung MRP Areas - Specific storage locations can also be grouped together and planning takes place on that grouping area (MRP Area)
Ex : Plant 3200/Sloc 50 & Plant 3200 /Sloc 51 is one MRP Area this is done in Configuration
When activated materials can now be planned per MRP area and MRP runs can also be done on MRP area
Consumption history will be kept on MRP area level
i'm also forwarding a link which would be very helpful to you

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

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.

Can MRP be activated at MM level

Dear all ,
I need to know whether MRP can be activated in any configuration setting in MM.
I know MRP is activated at plant level , since PP is not in current scope , i need to know whether it is possible at MM level itself.
Thanks
Jinoy

Dear Jinoy,
What do you mean by MRP at MM level?
check out this,
MRP at Plant or MRP Area Level
You can plan material requirements at plant level or for different MRP areas. With MRP at plant level, the system adds together stocks from all of the individual storage locations, with the exception of individual customer stock, to determine total plant stock. The requirements are combined in the planning run and procurement elements are created for these pegged requirements with unknown sources. Individual storage locations can be planned separately or be excluded from planning.
In the case of material requirements planning on an MRP area level, only the stocks from the storage locations or subcontractor assigned to the respective MRP area are taken into account. Only the requirements in this MRP area are combined and procurement elements are created for them. This enables you to plan material requirements specifically for certain areas.
Special planning processes include
subcontracting
direct production
direct procurement
storage location MRP
planning with MRP areas
multi-plant/site planning
requirements grouping for individual project planning

Creating a Production Order for a MRP area

Hi All
I have activated MRP area and has created 2 MRP area's. When I create a production order, always the first MRP area is assigned in the production Order.
Please help me to understand how do we create a Production order for a particular MRP area.
Thanks

Sorry guys, the question was not correct.

PIR' s are consuming in Stock transfer between slocs under same MRP area

We are using Sloc to Sloc with PO /delivery/asn/pgr route These SLOCS belong to same MRP area
Materials that are having strategy group 40
PIR's are conumed once PGI is done .
How to restrict this
Please throw me some light

i am not saying to stop the consumption by sales order.
try to map a different delivery type in case of such stock transfer as you explained process at your end. and for that try to wrok that way. i think you i have done misttake by saying requirement class as that comes in SO not delivery. in your case the PIR reudction is due to movement type. please movement type config in OMJJ (it might have PIR reduction active.
go thorugh not 896518
please check the movement type getting called in this GI case, and try to create a new mvmt type map this inplace of standard one with config and on that movement type remove the indicator "indepenet requirement reduction"
