MRP at Storage Location

Hi folks!!!
With the help of MRP (Consumption Based), I only want to create purchase requisition at storage location level. I have made all the settings in MRP4 and it is working. But the problem is that it is also creating PR for plant as well, which I don't need.
Please let me know the settings, so that PR will create only for storgae location level and not for plant.
Regards.

Hi Qamar,
You can use MRP Area concept to plan only for the Storage location. Please follow the below Steps:
1. Defining MRP Areas (SPRO > Production > Material Requirements Planning > Master Data
> MRP Areas > Define MRP Areas)
2. Assignment of MRP Areas to Materials (MRP1 View of Material Master MM01/02)
3. Planning Material Requirements with MRP Areas (MD01 -Use Scope of Ploanning - Configure Scope
of Planning in IMG or MD02 for the specific MRP Area)

How to run MRP at storage location level?

i know to run the MRP at plant level. i want to know to run the MRP at storage location level. what are the setting have to do for that? please can help any one....

Hi,
I think your question is answered by Sarita Doddi.
If you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.
If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
So, planning is not SLoc wise, it goes MRP area wise.

MRP at storage location level with external requirements

HI,
We have to have reorder point planning at storage location level. Also we need to consider external requirements.
When I am setting storage location MRP indicator as 2 and putting Reorder point and replenishment quantity, then after running MRP it only considers the replenishment quantity but it doesnot consideer any external requirements.
Help me out how to configure the requirement?

Help required !! For MRP at Storage location level

Hi ,
we need to have separate MRP fro two storage locations with direct procurement from Storage locations. Right now we have MRP run at Plant level for all the storage locations. we donot want the materials in these two storage locations to be planned at Plant level only with Separate storage locations. Plant level MRP will run for the other storage locations .
I have created separate MRP areas for the storage locations & activated MRP for MRP Areas client level. material masters for the two storage locations have been asigned the MRP areas & maintained the MRP area data in material master .
When we run the MD01, the Planned orders are getting created at both MRP areas plus at the Plant level.we donot want the planned orders creation at Plant MRP area level-only at the storage location level for those two storage locations MRP areas.
Can anybody guide me -how to achieve that ? Did we miss any configuration?
I tried to maintain scope of planning & getting error for parallel processing .
Do i need to maintain parallel procesing with servers ?
Pls need your input on this. Any help will be highly appreciated .
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Krish.

Hi Krish,
Go to following IMG path and check out your settings -
IMG>>>Production>>>MRP>>>Master Data>>>>MRP Areas>>>
(1) Activate MRP for MRP Areas -
Is that activated?
(2)Define MRP areas>>>> Do setting s as per Storage Location
Then run MRP.
MRP Areas
In this IMG activity you define whether MRP is to be carried out with MRP areas. In addition, you define the MRP areas for each plant in which you would like to carry out this type of materials requirements planning.
The MRP area represents an organizational unit which carries out materials requirements planning independently. The results of the planning run are displayed specifically for each MRP area. An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or stock with a subcontractor.
You can assign a material to various MRP areas.
Basically, there are three types of MRP areas:
Plant MRP Area
Initially, the plant MRP area includes the plant 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, as 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. These storage locations are then planned together.
MRP Areas for Subcontractors
You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor. Using an MRP area, it is possible to plan the components to be provided in subcontracting, by defining an MRP area for each subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided. You can therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from the usual requirements.
Up to now, MRP at plant level had been carried out. The various requirements were combined in the planning run and procurement elements were created for these pegged requirements with unknown sources.
The introduction of MRP areas enables you to carry out material requirements planning and know the source of the pegged requirements and to be able to distinguish between them. The source of the pegged requirements can be, for example, production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
Material requirements planning for each MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important in-house production parts and purchased parts for each shop floor and assembly area.
Hope this will give you more idea about the same.

MRP on storage location level

Dear all,
We are searching a solution to the following problem:
We have two storage locations A + B.
In theses two location we have the same product.
We want to plan theses storage location with MRP and do one purchases or production order.
If storage location A has a requirement of 10 and storage location B a requirement of 20, the MRP will sum-up theses requirement and create a purchase requisition or planned order of 30. This is OK.
Question:
When the material arrives or the production has completed, how do we know which storage location has to receive which quantity (A = 10 / B = 20)?
Is there a standard solution proposed by SAP for this problem?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thomas

MRP for storage locations

Hi,
One ROH material is extended to 2 storage locations (A,B). ROH is a BOM component for 2 intermediates.
ROH Storage location A - Material Master
ROH Storage location B
Each tank cannot go less than 10 tonns and cannot exceed more than 50 tonns
Re order point 25 tonns.
Order lot size is 35 tonns.
MRP will consider only one storage location A during requirements generation, becuase material master updated with storage location A only.
My requirement like MRP should consider the both storage locations during MRP run and generate the requirements as per the re order point for inventory.
Regards,
LV

Hello
I suggest you to use MRP areas to plan each storage location separately.
With MRP areas you can define different MRP parameters for each storage location and they can be planned independently.

To exclude Storage location frm MRP run

Hi Friend s
In my secnario MRP should not consider the storage location stock planning
i using stratgey 11 gross req planning ,
and (SPRO), In MRP -define storage location MRP per Plant , i set the indicator 1 i.e storage location stock excluded frm MRP
But still i mrp considers stoge location stk .
is there any setting ?
Regards
Sandeep

Sandeep,
For strategy "11" system automatically will not consider storage location stocks, so no need to define that in SPRO>MRP->Planning-->Sloc MRP/Plant as told by you.
Couple of checks....i would suggest.
1. Check whether you have maintained "2" - Mixed MRP indicator in MRP3 view.
2. Check whether the PIR you have created is having requirement type "BSF".

Deactivation of storage locations from MRP run

Hi gurus,
How can i deactivate a particular storage location from MRP in a particular plant.
Regards
Kaisar

Hello,
There are 2 ways of doing that.
1. With the Transaction OMIR and selecting th indicator 1 Storage location stock excluded from MRP
This storage location will be excluded from MRP.
2. For a Specific Material(s), if you want the Storage location to be excluded from MRP:
You need to select the storage locatio MRP indicator as 1 in MRP4View of the Material.
Some concerns:
Your Materials are extended to the St.location say xxxx.
Now if you want this storage location to be excluded from the MRP.
By simply seeting the Customization settings will not work.
You need to manually select the MRP4 view and change the St.Loc MRP Indicator to 1.
The Materials created after this customization setting will adopt this settings automatically.
Hope this helps..

Siva

Need Help on MRP Storage Locations

Hi
I'm having an issue with APO MRP areas.
The scenario is, I have SMI (supplier managed inventory) and client managed inventory in two storage locations with different stocking types in ECC. The two storage locations are physically separated but they are under same plant. If I have to plan this in APO I have to create 2 MRP areas to distinguish b/w SMI and client storage location. When I Cif this storage locations to APO it will be treated as separate location with location type 1007. When there is a requirement from Client and when I run the planning run STR are generated (since I have maintained transportation lanes b/w them) against SMI and I need to send this STR's to ECC and do the execution. So my query is how ECC will consider this STR's that are generated from the planning run , and how execution will take place. Mean to say how the goods movement happens in ECC. Is there any setting need to be done apart from setting MRP area storage locations, MRP area materials, Creating Integration model, activating integration model. Setting up transportation lane b/w client location>>SMI location.
Regards
Sharath

Hi Senthil,
I appreciate for your quick response. From your reply you mean to say that the MRP Areas storage locations will be identified as separate Locations in APO. Is that what you mean?
I agree. And I have modelled this in my system. Two storage location under the same plant are defined as two MRP areas in ECC and then I have CIFed these MRP areas to APO which are identified as two separate locations. I have maintained Transporation Lanes b/w this.When I created forecast(200 ea) manually in Product view for Location 1 (which is our company storage location) and when I run the Heuristics a purchase requisition for 200 quanity is created for SMI location 2. When again if I run the heuristic or save the results a Stock Transfer Reservation is generated. This is the expected results from APO planning.
My question is when i generate the STR's in APO, how this STR's will get executed in ECC (How goods movements happen). ECC team says that they cannot use STR's for executing the goods movement. Is that right?
Since SAP has provided MRP Areas Storage Location functionality in SAP APO there should be a way to execute this STR's in ECC. Can you please give any valuable recommendations.
****I have a new issue for now. When I'm trying to transfer the STR's from APO to ECC the STR's are not getting CIFed to ECC. I have selected the Manual reservation as the section criteria and my intergreatrion model is active with no CIF errors. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing any CIF/Master data setting.
Regards
Sharath

Has anyone picked materials from one storage location but confirmed TO to different storage location?

The business does not want to use MRP areas to segregate materials between service part and production. What they want to do is separate service parts on deliveries at our shipping storage types (915/916) from MRP view. This requirement is primarily for our international shipping area. We may pick parts for an international shipment and the parts will sit on the delivery - not goods issued because we don't want to invoice - for up to 3 months. During that time, MRP sees the inventory so replenishment is not done in a timely fashion or parts may get stolen from the shipment for a production requirement because the inventory is seen.
Could one solution be to create a non-MRP relevant storage location (say 1200) and place the shipping storage types in this storage location? Then when the transfer order creates, the system would show the source to be from the MRP relevant SLoc (1100), stype (130), bin (A-01-A), - these are examples - with the destination to be to non-MRP relevant SLoc 1200, stype 915, bin (dynamic using the delivery number) 0080745298? Has anyone had this type of request or know of a way to satisfy the business requirements without different MRP areas? They also do not want to have two transfer orders - one with a 601 movement and one with a 311 movement.
Any known solutions or outside-the-box thinking would greatly appreciated.
Marla

I don't have the solution, just some critical questions and hints
Even a non-MRP relevant storage location can be warehouse managed.
The stock is shown in any stock list as long it is not goods issued, no matter if it is stored in a
non-MRP relevant storage location.
Stock that is picked for a delivery is not available for others, it is reserved. A delivery is a MRP element and hence should be taken into consideration in the planning run.
A non-MRP relevant storage location will only solve your planning issues if you move the material there if it is not yet picked and allocated to a delivery.
Do your thieves really use SAP to check if the stock is there, or do they just see the stock in the warehouse? As said, the non-MRP relevant storage location will not solve this issue since the stock is still visible.

Storage location exclusion from planning run

Hi All
I have excluded material from planning run by putting storage location exclusion indicator in MMSC for material.
Iam using kanban replenishment.
In material master, production storage location is same as that of put in MMSC.
I have created Planned independent requirement in MD61, when i do MRP system created planned order.
Please inform if storage location is excluded from MRP in MMSC then why system is considering requirement for that material at that storage location.

Hi Krishna
Please read help for Storage location MRP indicator
Storage location MRP indicator
Indicator that you use to exclude storage locations from material requirements planning at plant level.
If you do not set this indicator, stock, requirements, and receipts are included in MRP at plant level.
Use
You can exclude storage locations from MRP at plant level in one of two ways:
By excluding storage location stock from MRP
If storage location stock is excluded from MRP at plant level, no receipts for this storage location will be created in the planning run.
By planning storage location stock separately
If storage location stock is planned separately, the storage location is replenished with goods if the stock falls below the reorder point.

Adopt Storage Location into Purchase Requisition

Hi all,
We plan some materials on storage location level with reorder points. As soon as the stock falls below the reorder point MRP creates a new purchase req. but the storage location field in the PR is blank.
I already tried to use the field 'storage loc. for ext. procurement' on the MRP1 view of the mat. master. But this has only impacts when I convert the PR into a PO.
As the demand for the material is on storage location level, I thought there should be a way to get the storage loc. into the PR.
Thank you for your help.
Tobi

Hi,
If you want to plan your materials seperately for each storage location then you need to activate MRP at storage location level first in IMG:
SPROMaterials ManagementConsumption based planning>Planning>Define Storage Location MRP per Plant
and maintain MRP indicator as 2,
similarily maintain indicator 2 in material master, and then fix the reorder levels for each seperately.
After this system will create seperate PR for each sloc.
Hope this helps..

Change MRP type at storage location level

Morning,
i am having trouble with PD and ND reporting. Your you are aware ND should only have balances of 0 and PD should only have balances of >0. When i run a reportto show all PD stock and exclude the positive balances, i am getting MM numbers appearing that are 0 in 1 sLoc but have a positive stock balance in another sLoc. This becomes a problem when i change the PD to ND because it changes at plant level. i only want this to be changed at the sLoc with the 0 stock balance.
I have tried MM06 to flag the MM for deletion at sLoc level however, when running the report again, the sLoc with 0 stock balance still shows.
Also, i have about 800+ that need changing so a solution to do this in a batch would also be appreciated.
Please help.
Paul

Hi,
Go to IMG settings 'Materials Management + Consumption-Based Planning + Planning + Define Storage Location MRP per Plant' Enter your Plant, It will show list of storage location in that Plant, then select 2 in 'MRP Indicator' field for storage location for which u want to plan seperately.
Hope It will clear Your Problem

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
