MRP for service activity?

Hi
Can MRP generate service PR for a service activity?
As per my knowledge it's not possible through MRP.
But my boss is insisting me to use MRP for service? Does it really make sense?
If yes, how can it be done?
Thanks

MRP is relavant only in the context of material components assigned to project network activities as stock items. It's strictly a tool used to make sure that your materials to be kept in stock are procured in a timely manner. I am not sure you can justify a service in the context of "material replenishment".
What is the business justification of an MRP run for a service?

  • Purchase requisition for service activity / element cannot be generated

    Dear SAP MM Experts,
    This is a service Creation from the PM order to Purchase Sercive Requisition.
    The Error Message Is Generated :Purchase requisition for service activity / element cannot be generated
    Diagnosis
         Due to the system settings, the system is trying to generate a purchase
         requisition for a service activity or a service activity element.
    No service package has been created for the activity/element.
    As a result, the system cannot generate a purchase requisition.
    The activity/element is created or released, but the indicator for
    generating a purchase requisition is not set.
    Create a service package for the activity/element and then generate a
    purchase requisition.

  • MRP for Service Order

    Hi Friends,
                                   My client want to run the MRP according to  Material Group and according to service order.What are the possible ways to run the MRP? How my problem can be resolved?Please reply...
    Regards,

    Hi Edit,
    The question is not to run MRP for Service materials, - to run MRP for the Materials in a Service Order.
    I have one service order in which I have raised requirement for 10 materials (eg. Raw materials).
    MRP can be run Plant wise or Material wise.If  I run Plant wise MRP, system will gather all the requirement that are required in the plant (including Sales order, Service order, Prod order etc..).
    If I run the MRP Material wise, system will gather the requirement of that material in all types of orders.
    But the requirement is to run the MRP only for a particular Service order (only for the materials and quantities required in the given Service order) and generate PR and PO for procurement. The material may also be required for another service order, sales order or prod order. MRP should not gather the requirement for other orders.
    Hope my explanation is clear. Prasanna, please post the correct scenario if there are any deviation in my understanding of your query.
    I am also Looking for the solution. If any one have idea please help us to solve the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Requirement Date of PR for Service Activity

    Hello All,
    Can any one tell me how to enter the requirement date for service activity?
    Scenario is that I don't have budget in current fiscal year, hence; cannot book my commitment. So, I want to book a commitment in future (for next fiscal year). How can I enter requirement date for service purchase requisition?
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards

    Thanks for you quick response.
    In this case I have to create multiple service activities. Is it possible that I can split service items from one service activity into muliple fiscal years.
    For Example: There are three service items in activity XYZ, I require two items in current fiscal year and one item in the next. Please advise...

  • CONTRACTS FOR SERVICE ACTIVITY MASTERS

    We have created contracts (Document type MK) with item category service. When creating a Purchase Requisition for the Service Activity Master, source determination is not done with reference to the contract. The contract number and line item number must manually be entered.
    Can anybody maybe assist me in how the contracts functionality for service masters should work?
    Thanx

    hI,
    1. First you have to create a requisiiton for serivces and assign the source of supply in ME51N.
    2.Then with reference to this requisition create a contract in ME31K
    3.Then create the release Orders in ME21N and specify the service qty in item details.
    4.Then post service entry sheet in ML81N with reference to this PO.
    5.Then Do the invoice verification.
    This is the cycle to be folowed for contract services.

  • Service specifications screen for service activity becomes grey after PO

    Hi All,
    I would like your views/comments on the following issue:
    I am creating a service activity PS04 , it takes me to the service specification screen,then I am using the single item to create the painting services. The PR is generated for the activity. Till PO is not created for this service activity I am able to add other services as required functionality.
    The issue is that once i create the PO for the service activity PR line item, the whole screen of the service specifications becomes grey i.e not editable . can you give me the inputs why that so?
    In the ideal scenario  & the requirement is that, it should grey out for the service lines of the PR for the lines where PO is created not the whole screen.
    please provide the suggestions / solution to this issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Thanks Virendra for your effort in this replication in IDES. I checked the service activity & its settings which are correct and it is not the issue. 
    Do you have any idea of the configuration / user exit in case of PO is created it will not allow the change mode of the PR for service activty generated from projects.
    Thanks in advance

  • Deletion flag for service activity numbers

    If the Service Entry Sheet is to be cancelled then go to ML81N and Select PO / SES and Click on "Change" Mode and Go to Menu Service Entry Sheet --> Set Status --> Revoke Acceptance.
    The Procedure is Same for Cancelling the Release.
    For Deletion of SES Press Shift F2 or Menu Service Entry Sheet --> Delete & Save.

    I know loads of people have had this message come up and people have recommened going to the apple store. But before i make the long trek i just wanted to know if anyone ever came up with a solution to fix this and use the phone again.
    Any help much appreciated. back on sh+tty blackberry!!

    Thanks for the replies guys!
    I cant access the phone it just stays on 'connect to itunes'
    Could someone quickly explain how jailbraking an iphone could cause it problems? I want to email the person I bought this from and tell them why I think they have damaged it by jailbraking it.

  • MRP design for Service Spare Parts

    Hello,
    I am in process of designing the MRP run for service spare parts for construction and mining equipments business. There is a central warehouse and small depots.
    Help me out to design following MRP requirements.
    1.     MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
    2.     MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
    3.     MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
    4.     MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
    5.     Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
    If SAP standard solution is there or any work around is expected.
    Regards
    Sanjeev Dhavan

    1. MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
    - MRP can be run for a whole plant or single material or MRP area(group together some storage location). I hope your warehouse is a plant so you can run the MRP at your plant(ware house) level.
    2. MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
    - You should use consumption based planning but you need to identify what type of MRP you want to use.
        - reorder point planning     - forecast based planning      - time phased planning
        - in general all the above MRP will consider the open PO / PRs
    3. MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
    -  this is possible by selecting proper MRP type, for ex. if you want to use reorder point planning, then you should use V1(Reorder point planning with external requirements) which includes sales order and manual reservation in net req calculation.
    4. MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
    - Refer point 3
    5. Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
    - do you want to use forecast based MRP? what formula you want to use?
