MRP Creation

Forum,
If I have the following scenario:
1. Purchase Order on system for 10 widgets with a delivery date of 1st October
2. New Sales Order for 5 widgets entered with a Delivery date of 20th September
3. On running MRP wizard, it suggests we need to order 5 widgets to satisfy Sales Order as 10 on order will not be delivered on time.
Is it possible for MRP not to suggest the creation of the PO for 5 widgets?
Regards,
Juan

Hi,
Try to use the planning horizon in MRP to avoid the suggestion

MRP Creation Indicator

Hi Experts,
Just want to seek help regarding the MRP Creation Indicator. What would be the effect if the Opening Period set is "0" or zero for the MRP item in SMK of Material Master but when we run MRP in the Selection Parameters we uses the parameter "2"- Purchase requisitions in Opening Period in the Create Purchase Requisition field.
We have MRP items wherein MRP still generates Planned Orders (STPO) even if the Opening Period is Zero or "0". The MRP Planned Orders contains Planned Opening Date which is the same date when MRP run and yet MRP did not created PR for the item. Hope you can help enlighten us.
Thanks,
SD

Hello ,
The Opening period define at SMK is used to calculate the "Opening date" of either planned order or Pur req. Opening date is calculated as below.
Open date = Opening period - Order start date of Planned order or Release date of Pur req.
According to cont ind 2 , If Opening date falls before the "MRP Run date" system will create Pur req directly.In your case the Opening date and MRP date are same it will create Planned order Only. You have to convert ot manually.
Opening period is nothing but a buffer period for MRP controller t o convert the Planned order to Pur req
To check the same, increase your Opening Period at SMK and check with MRP

PR and PO through MRP run

hi,
What are all settings to generate Purchase Requisitions through MRP run? Also, if, i wanna automate creation of Purchase order from Purchase Requisition (not manually). how to achieve this?
thanks..

Hi,
1. Get PR trough MRP run
1a, You have to have proper master data settings (e.g. material master: MRP type "PD", procurement type "F")
1b, Proper MRP creation indicator shoudl be used in MD01 / MD02 / MD03.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d2da044af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
1c, Your planning situation also influences whether you get PR or not. If there's no need to procure anything (e.g. you have sufficient stock level or you have no demand for the goods > MRP won't generate procurement proposal)
2. Convert PR to PO
It depends on your master data settings (material master, source list, QA, outline agreeemts, etc)
If you have proper master data settings and during MRP run it is possible to determine the source of supply, you can use ME59 to get the POs from the PReqs (otherwise you have to use ME57, ME58 too).
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4c/420d29470a11d1894a0000e8323352/frameset.htm
But you can't get PO as the result of MRP run in standard system - you get PR (or PldOrd) and you have to convert the PR to PO (or PldOrd > PR > PO).

Hi,
To get PR trough MRP run
1. You have to have proper master data settings (e.g. material master: MRP type "PD", procurement type "F") and Maintain a soursce list if req.
2. Proper MRP creation indicator shoudl be used in MD01 / MD02 / MD03 to create PR
3. Your planning situation also influences whether you get PR or not. If there's no need to procure anything (e.g. you have sufficient stock level or you have no demand for the goods > MRP won't generate procurement proposal)
Please refer below link for clarity of MRP. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you.

MRP document type

Dear Expert
I am creating PR from MRP run but the system is creating PR of different document type how can i tag the document type using mrp run
Regards

Hi
Try using Different MRP groups. MRP groups are defined for a plant. See config
Production ---> Material requirement planning ---> MRP groups -
> carry out overall maintenance of MRP groups
Here under external procurement type, you can assign ur required document type of Standard PR, subcontracting PR and stock transfer PR from MRP.
Please not number ranges are not taken from Document type for MRP, it is maintained in plant settings.
See the config path
Production ---> Material requirement planning ---> Plant parameters
Enter your plant,see the number range button... click on it. Click on Purchase requisition and enter number range object.
Practically you can maintain two different number range for one document type. One for manual creation and another for MRP creation.
Hope you understood.

Creation of SDEB's for MRP type = VB materials.

Hi Gurus,
When we run plant wise MRP, SDEB's are created instead of Purchase requisitions for all Manual re-order point materials. We understand that SDEB's are created when the stock of tha material is above tha Re-order point, and this SDEB's indicate tha MRP controller whether he can create manually Purchase requisitions or not.
But, we are getting these SDEB's for the materials that have stock below the Re-order point as well. Which is not correct i think.?
For your information, when we run material wise MRP there are no SDEB's at all.
Please explain what might be the Root cause and the solution to over come this..
Thanks for your understanding..
Naveen.A

Dear colleague,
without checking the issue it is difficult to know if there is an error.
Please check if the following information can explain the behaviour of your system:
A)When you do MD01 or MDBT the creaton indicators defines in the
customising are used . whereas when you run MD02 or MD03 the creation
indicator on the individual screen is used.
Single-item planning and total planning follow a different logic
concernng the creation indicators.This is also described in the
documentation for Master Planning/Materials Planning (Chapter 4, Section
2) and in the Implementation Guide.
Single-item planning:
        The entered creation indicators are generally valid.
Total planning:
       The entered creation indicators are used as default values.
       For materials from an MRP group, the values from the MRP group
       apply (if available).
       The creation indicator for delivery schedules can additionally be
       specified per plant. This is used if nothing was specified via
       the MRP group.
       Thus, the priority is as follows:
      1. MRP group
      2. Plant
      3. Initial screen
B)In MD02 system can de multilevel (For components of a header Materia)
or/and Multiplant (Stock Transfre ) planning. In such cases for all the
materials involved the creation indicator used in the screen is used.
C)The creation indicator makes sense only for materials having
procurement type external procurement (F) in material master. For the
materilas which are produced in house (Procurement type E) system will
always create planned orders.
    And Materials having procurement type X(Both procurement types ) is
treated as Inhouse produced material by planning . Thus for such
materials system will always create a planned order. Now this planned
order can be converted into a production orer or into a purchase
order(via purchase Requisition).
    When you run MRP with "Create Purchase Requisition " in the opening
period , then the syetm uses in the opening period defined via the
scheduling margin Key. In material master , MRP 2 View we maintain
scheduling margin key. And in Transaction OPP1->Planning->Scheduling and
Capacity Parameters ->Define floats we maintain the opening periods per
plant. I am attaching details of Opening period :
   opening period: Opening period is the time which the MRP controller
needs to analyse.Thus he has this buffer with him to rectify any issues
before converting the planned order into purchase requisition.
The opening period is only used in backward scheduling.
Suppose There is a requirement for a material on date =RD1
Let the Goods receipt processing time is= T1
Let the planned delivery time =L1
Let the purchasing Processing time = X1
Let the opening period for this material is P1
Time line for external procurement:
        Planned Del   Pur proc         GR Process
          Time            Time          Time
___|__________|_________|___________|___
              L1            X1         T1
   SD                                         RD1
Now accoring to Basic scheduling:
   Receipt/Requirements Date(RD1)
   Release/Start Date(SD) = RD1-T1-L1-X1
Now let me explain to you when the planned order an purchase
Requisitions are created:
Let us say the date on which you do MRP be MR1
OD = Opening Date
From above diagram :
                                 Opening Per
                                 In Sch Mar Key
__________________|______________|
XX                          OD                 SD
                                              Release/Start Date
If your MRP date(generally Today) is lying between XX and OD (and
excludind OD)then
MRP creates planned order and if it lies between (and indclind OD)
OD and SD then we create purchase req.
when your MRP date comes between the period OD and SD then you do not
have time left to analyse and therefore instead of you in such cases
forgetting and delaying system automatically creates purchase req.
      In general if , if your order start date or release date is after
the opening period from today then MRP will create planned order.
Oterwise it creates Purchase req.
Check also if you have the note 1063969 applied in your system.
I hope it solves the issue. Otheriwse I think you should open an OSS message with connection to your system,
best regards,
maria

Automatic creation of Schedule line after MRP RUN

Hi,
Till now we are using only PO for placing orders to vendor, now we want to use the functionality of scheduling agrement, so that after MRP run, we can get automatic schedule line creation, for this , what are settings required, how system create the automatic schedule lines based on which criteria, second thing while creating on eschedule agrement i found that the conditon which i can add for a vednor in ME21N that all condition are not coming while creating schedule agrement even my vendor is same for PO and Schedule agrement, so what are the setting required for this.
regards,
zafar

Hi
1.In material master purchasing view data auto PO is to be flagged.If scheduling agreemet with release documentation.
Then flag JIT indicator 1.
2.maintain MRP views in material master
3.In source list for fix vendor,source list usage 2 is to be maintained.
4.Vendor master purchasing data auto PO indicator is to be flagged.
5.Then when you run MRP automatically schedule lines are generated.
For JIT and forecasting maintain creaton profile in OMUP transction.
Assign the creation profile in scheduling agreement.

Creation of Purchase Requisition with MRP - MD02

Hello,
I have created a sales order using one material with MRP. When I run MRP-transaction MD02 for this material, a purchase requisition is created.
What we want is to block the creation of the purchase requisition when the sales order has delivery block (code 02). I have been trying to use this enhancements; setting break-points in all function modules, but when running MD02 is does not stop there:
MEREQ001      Customers' Own Data in Purchase Requisi
LMDR2001      User exits restr. profiles of opt. pur.ord.-based load bldg
LMDZU001      User exits in additional planning
M61X0001      User exits PP-MRP materials planning
M61X0002      User Exits PP-MRP Material Requirements Planning Evaluation
Do you know a way to do this or also change data in the purchase requisition created with MD02?
Thanks and regards.

Dear ,
Are you very particualr to process the Sales Order demand when there is a delivery block ?
To restrict that one you can do the following steps :
1.Goto Sales Order -VA02-Select the line item -Double Click -Select the Schedule line tab -Set Sechedule line item categoery as CN instead of CP.If it is CP then it will processed through MRP
2.Change the pricining date and make credit block for sales Order and do not release though VKM3 so it will not be tearted through MRP run to have PR geneartion
Hope this is clear
regards

Automatic creation of PR after MRP run

Hi,
can anyone please tell me what all fields are picked up in a Purchase Requisition(PR) in the scenario of automatic creation of PR after MRP run.
If we are using more than 1 PR type in the system how is it determined during the MRP run that the PR will be created for which type.I understand that source list will have to be created and maintained but how is the PR type determined
Thanks in advance

In PR the system checks for the material and vendor. See the steps below.
Step1:Auto PO tick in material master Purchasing view (mandatory)
Step2:Auto PO tick in vendor master Purchasing view
Step3:Maintain Source list for vendor and material (If u r not using source list for auto PO creation, the assign the Source of supply to a PR in ME56)
Step4:Maintain Pur. Inforecord
Step5:ME59n : execute for PR and Vendor In ME59n, you can also select the PR document type. If you want to select different document types, go for multiple entries and enter the doc types.
When u execute, the system will give the appropriate PRs. Select the required and convert to PO.
But through MRP you cannot create PO directly only Planned orders can be created.
Reward if helpful..
Thanks,
Srib

Automatically creation of Purchase Order from MRP

Material type = ROH (raw material)
In MRP1 I have mentioned
1. RP type =VB ( manual reorder point planning)
2.Reorder point = 1000
3.Lot size =FX (fixed order quantity)
4. Fixed lot size = 300
In purchasing I have checked the automatic P.O. option
I have created a source list for the material and fixed the vendor for the material
Quantiy of the material in stock = 0
But Purchase Order is nor automatically generated during the MRP run ( MD03)
IS there any step missing ? please suggest if any .
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
As others suggested standrad SAP will not create PO as output of MRP.
You need to check why you need AUTO FUNCTION.however you can use T code ME59n to create auto PO from Preqs.
About AUTO PO
One example is that while taking delivery of the raw materials which are delivered by trucks and since it is not possible to capture the actual receipted quantity at the time of PO creation.
To create AUTO PO
Check in customizing whether you have maintained creation of automatic PO during good receipt.
Menu path : MM -> Inventory Management -> Goods Receipt -> Create Purchase order Automatically -> Activate Auto PO creation for Mvt type and then activate Auto PO creation in vendor master.
Hope this helps.

Creation of purchase order in MRP

Hi All,
Is it possible to create purchase order as an output of MRP? If yes, then how?
regards,
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
SAP has not provided such facility of directly creating the Purchase Order in MRP run, intentionally, so as to
1. Provide an Authorization Level over the P.O. creation
2. Provide a chance to change the Planned order or Purchase requizition before PO creation
3. As this is a procurement proposal that is directly linked with the vendor, quantity and Price, it has to be created very carefully.
I hope you got it.
with regards,
gnk

PR values copy to PO (PR creation manual) PR is MRP then copy from Info

Hello
We have Two types of Purchase requisation in Business
One is created from MRP run..... this PO is having the values in valution tab.
While creation PO from PR...the values should copy from PR at first time. and system updates
the Info record here for the material and vendor combination.
while second time i have created the PR from manualy, and i have changed the PR value
then system should go for release,
while creation of PR to PO the system will copy the Price from Info record(last purchase order)
then what is the need to release the PR.
Bcz the Last PO price was having the 100Rs
the new created the PR is having the 200Rs..... it should copy from the PR here in manulay
created PR
while in PR values copied to PO once while in fresh PR.(I,e MRP generated PR)..
after that it should copy from Info record.
sapmanman

I don't get your questio clearly.....
But as per my understaing of your que
The PR generated from MRP or Manual creation-- when you convert the PR to PO system will pickup the price from inforecord and info record can not be created automaticaly by the system for psicing
the inforecord will be cretaed first time when you create the PO from PR but it will not have pricing it is just updating the PO number in the info record
so you have to create the info record.
now suppose you want to copy the PR price to the PO than there is a funcitonlaity you have to activate
tcode is OMET
go here and check the adopt price check box than system will populate the button in the PR on valuation tab where you can select as gross price or net price than system will take this price in the Po.
in you case if suppose system is copying the last PO price to new Po becuse in your system the setting for defualt value for buyers is active that;s the reason you see that system copy the last po price.
if you dont want this than go to
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-environment data-defien defualt value for buyer
here on Price adoption tab you will see always copy
now if you dont want than copy the 01 to blank value and remove the always copy
Now use of PR release is not for the pricing but there is many other reqs for release procedure
noramly the PO would have release process activated if you have concern for pricing.
hope this will give you a clear picture

Creation of MRP Batch job

Hello PP Sapperu2019s
I need to create a MRP batchjob for one of my plant u2013 9030.I need to know the below highlighted details,
Job name : MRP Plant 9030
*Programname : *
*Variant: *
Frequency : Daily
Timing : 01.00 (during the night)
Step user :
Please help me to proceed with creation of MRP batchjob.
My requirement is to run MRP every night that reschedule the purchase order and create new purchase requestion in Total Horizon.
Need any further input please let me know.
PS:I also refer MDBT for the MRP jobs whihc already created for some other plants but seems to be different from the above requirement.
Cheers,
Kumar.S

For the job which you refer to, go to the spool & study the section 'Runtime statistics'. It will let you know which section took how much time & based on that you would be able to infer what has caused the delay & thereby take suitable actions.
Also note, there is no generic rules as such, each case has to be analyzed if there is a delay. But in general it is better to ensure your planning file entries are consistent, processing key - NETPL or NETCH & planning mode is 1.
I guess this thread has gone way beyond the initial posting, so for any further analysis on this MRP job I would strongly suggest that you sit down with the MRP controller & analyze the same. I am quite sure it shouldn't be difficult in interpreting the results.
Good luck.

Planned order creation via MRP depends, If we change Delivery date in STO

Hi,
Planned order creation via MRP depends, If we change Delivery date in Stock transfer Order.
I created STO with delivery date as 31.1.2012 and when i checked MD04, i can see Planned order created on 27.2.2012 with the same above STO quantity .
Now when i changed the delivery date as 30.1.2012 and runned MD03, and then checkd MD04, planned order disappeared.
Why Planned order got created when STO delivery date was 31.1.2012 and when I changed the delivery date in PO, planned order disappeared.
MRP profile details :
Plnd delivery time 1
GR processing time 1
Planning time fence 38
Tot. repl. lead time 38
Can you please let me know why system is beaving in this manner?
Regards
Utsav

Hi,
Normally , MRP runs based upon the requirements.If your STO is created for a date , system checks through the availabiloty check wheather there exists any stock for that date to get deliverred in the supply plant .If there exists for that date the stock , planned order will not be created.If no stock available then a planned order will be created in MRP.
cHECK the availability check parameters assigned to material master in supply plant.
Regards,
