MRP generated with converted quantity

Dear All,
I like to know, if there is a way when MRP generate a PR base on the order unit?
Example :
Material A UOM = PC
Material A supplied by a vendor which only sell per BOX (@BOX = 11 PC)
MRP : Lot = HB
SS = 37
Max = 48
When MRP run, it will create PR for 48 PC.
My problem is when PO created for 4 Box, then it leave a 4 PC short for the material..
Regards,
Beto

Hi Beto 10,
Did you go thro' my message. It will give you clear idea. Please go thro below.
You can resolve the issue thro changing the order unit in your info record for the material.
You can also enter an order unit that differs from the base unit of measure stored in the material master record in a purchase requisition. You will find the order unit on the requisition item detail screen. When a requisition is converted into a PO, the Variable order unit field must set to active. Otherwise, the order unit in the requisition is overwritten by the order unit in the info record.
For more details, go thro the below link:

Duplicate planned order is generated with one sales order item.

dear :
when the production order is confirmed with sales order item.the other new planned order is generated.
the requiremet quantity of sales order item is 1,but the custstock is 2 .display exception:26. in md04.
please help me analyze it .
best regards.

Hi
Please check rescheduling horizon in OPPQ(by default it would be 100).
May be you would have shifted the dates of production order after converting from planned order which had crossed rescheduled horizon. This would generate additional planned order to maintain initial dates.
If this is the case, increase Rescheduling horizon.

The MRP generates PldOrd / STPO without considering Quota arrangement

Dear Expert,
The MRP generates PldOrd / STPO without considering Quota arrangement/ supplier quantity agreement with Individual indicator =1 maintained in MRP4. It need that it should consider Quota arrangement with Individual indicator =1 while generating PldOrd/ STOP.
Please help.
Thanks,
Om

Hi Om,
I hope that you have alreayd maintained the required master data for Quota Arrangement.
Also have you maintained configuration of Lot-Sizing Procedure ? You need to select "Splitting Quota" indicator in a particular Lot-Size Procedure, which you're going to assign in material master.
Hope it will help.
Revert if any issue further.

Why GR performed on MRP generated delivery schedule line (unconfirmed)?

Hi Gurus,
Need some advice from you all, I have a scenario here which MRP generated the delivery schedule lines for material A on 10.08.2011 - 124 KG.
User review the MRP result and didnt confirm the line, but she added in manual line on 11.08.2011 - 124KG.
On 11.08.2011, warehouse performed GR on the delivery schedule lines. It's found that GR was actually updated into the delivery schedule line generated by MRP (10.08.2011) and not the manual line confirmed by user. (11.08.2011).
User is questioning now why the GR able to be performed on MRP generated line which had not been confirmed? Any guru can share with me the fact and good note regarding this on MRP? Thanks!
Michelle

Hi,
Since we are talking here about schedule lines, these are open for GR when the delivery schedule is send to the vendor.
In your case you had a quantity open for 10/08/2011 generated by MRP, then the user added manually another line on 11/08/2011. After this the user will have transmitted the delivery schedule which makes that both the items where marked as transmitted and thus open for GR.
Now when the goods come in the system will post against the first open schedule line that is found until this is fulfilled and then switch to the next open line at the moment of GR. So this is why the GR was put against the MRP generated schedule line as this one was the one with the earlier date.

Movement type in MRP generated reservations

Dear Experts ,
I have a scenario where in a particular material requirement is generated through MRP ( MRP Type PD)
The system creates a reservation with movement type 261 for that particular material.
BUT
My process of goods issue is as under :
The goods are received in main store .
The goods are transferred by the store keeper from main store to the production store .
Finally the goods are consumed from the production store against an order.
I WANT THE SYSTEM TO DEFAULT MOVEMENT TYPE 311 AND NOT 261 IN MRP GENERATED RESERVATIONS .
How can i do it ?
regards
Anis

Dear Anis,
Are you meaning the reservation for a production order?
In this case the system creates the reservation only once when the planned order is converted into a production order and
saved.Once after the production order is released the system allows you to post the good's issue against the reservation no in
MB1A.
Defaultly the system will create for 261 movement.
You can change this using the settings in OPKA(But think before making this change).

Unable to delete line item with 0 quantity in Invoice.

Hi Experts,
I came across a Invoice which reflects in VF04 as pending Billing due list. When i checked at the inter company Invoice i came across a line item with "0" quantity and price as zero, interestingly the replinishment cross company delivery document for the same line item for "0" quantity had a Batch assigned to it.
Now the issue is cusotmer has selected the line item with XX quantity and have selected the accounting document to be generated but the line item with "0 was left over and now still reflects in VF04.
Customer does not want to reverse the full cycle to resolve the issue since the document was created a year back.My Question is can we get the line item with "0" quantity to clear accounting so that it will not reflect in VF04.If so what will be process to do that.
Thanks in Advance to advice.
Regards,
Sridhar.R

Hi,
It is not possible to delete this line item, you can discuss with your client and delete it from the table.
And now coming to the reasons why it has come into the invoice & Delivery
1. The Batch Item category must have been configured as relevant for billing...check this and make it irrelevant if the client does not do batch specific billing. --- This will stop the batches from coming into the invoice.
2. Check for the batch item category in delivery if Zero quanity is allowed...if it is allowed make it not allowed and make it an Error message, whenever there is a zero quantity system will give a message.

Separate Doc.Type for MRP generated PRs

Dear All
We are facing an issue with MRP process where we want to automate the process from MRP run to PO creation.
In source list we will add the existing contracts and make it relevant to MRP so that after MRP run we will get source (vendor defined in the contract) assigned purchase requisitions. After that, we will create a background job for ME59n in order to get the POs automatically after MRP run.
In this process we are facing issue with the auto PO generation through ME59n as funds management (FM) related parameters such as Fund and Fund center need to be enetered manually at the time of PO creation in our system. So in order to avoid this manual entry we want to define FM derivation which automatically populate the fund & fund center in the MRP generated PRs.
Further, we have two options for FM derivation one is valuation class and the second one is Document type. If we define the FM derivation based on the valuation class we cannot only restrict to MRP generated PRs. Second option is separate document type for MRP generated PRs.
Please provide pros and cons regarding the creation of new document type for MRP. Also, please provide your suggestions or any work arounds for the above discussed scenario. Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi nagaraj
it makes sense . i will explore and tell you.
what about your source assignment standard program. hope it will assign source of supply if it is a valid unique source of supply else it will assign eprofile to your purcase request. check with technical resource how the satndard program behaves.
i will also explore my side again. check mm forum too on your purchase organisation assignment for your userexists.
one question to you.
when you create a PR for material and go to source of supply .why do we get many fixed vendors like contracts,info record if we have valid fixed vendors as sap ecc standard.but in my PR i may not have Purchase organisation information.

PO Release Strategy - Only for Non MRP generated materials

Hello,
I have a requirement in which any material which was generated via MRP (via PR) should not go through a release strategy at the PO level, but a non MRP generated PR should...
Is this possible at all? I know its possible at the PR level, but not sure at the PO... Would this be a case where we would need to added a field to the CEKKO structure thats for MRP generated PRs ?
Thanks

Hi,
By business any PO created, should follow release procedure as PO a committed document which will further send to vendor.
If you are sure about your requirement, PO created from MRP PR should not follow release strategy, then no need to go for any User Exit.
Just create separate document type for PR (ZMNB) , create separate document type MRP PO( ZMNB) and link MRP PO document type ( ZMNB) with MRP PR document type( ZMNB) in flowing path:
SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Define Document Types
Now select your ZMNB B Purchase Order Document type and click link purchase requisition document type in Dialog Structure, enter ZMNB Purchase Requisition Document type with a new entry & save.
As you created release characteristics of document type (CEKKO with BSART), then do not keep Value u201CMRP PO document type (ZMNB) u201Cin the release characteristics of document type and design your release strategies.
Now create your PO with MRP PO document type (ZMNB) and see no release strategy triggered.

Grouping of MRP requirements with source of supply

Hi,
We are using SRM5.0 ECS, with direct procurement. So MRP generated req's will flow in to SRM for sourcing, and if there is source of supply, the PO is created automatically, all is working fine. But if there are ten req's per day coming from MRP for the same material, vendor and contract, still the system is creating 10 PO's.
Is there any way, we can group them for the same contract release and create one PO. I am aware of the sourcing config, but the grouping is only available for unsourced items.
I want to group all these ten req's in to one PO with the same contract reference.
Please share your comments on this.
Thanks,
CS

Hence it is in ECS all PO will be created in SRM itself.
what above delivery dates of different purchase request.
delivery address , organisational data.you must consider all po split criteria too..
i believe if al the data are same from sourcing select all 10 external requirement it can create one PO.
i have seen one PO for eg (one is from PR pdp (external request) + one is from sc ) if all the data are similar.

Problem in MRP run with Project/WBS Element

Dear PP Gurus,
I want to run MRP thro Project/WBS Element.
I have created WBS Element & WBS BOM for Material. Then created sales order for that material and assign WBS element to sales order.
Maintain Planning Strategy 21 ( Make to Order/Project) for Main Mtl.
Now when I run MRP with MD51 then no requriements are generated for main material and its components.
Is there any thing missing from PS-PP & SD point of view?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Umesh

Dear Nagrajan,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no safety stock & un-restricted stock of that material.
Also I don't want to assign this mtl to that wbs Network. If I assign the Material to WBS network then network req.is generated and thro Normal MD02 MRP generates the requirements.
& in the plan order it will not show WBS Element
But My req. is I want to run MRP with MD51 & want WBS element as account asignment tab in plan order & production order too.
IS there any config. missing from PP/ PS / SD ?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks ,
Umesh

Created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE

Hi Experts!
Please, anyone has already created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE??
Could anyone help me with this requirement?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

Hi,
I searched and found another solution, because with the code from the link above I got everytime a short dump, maybe I did something wrong.
The solution works with Adobe Form
1. I used the class cl_igs_chart_engine to create a chart with my data and customizing to get the binary data of the image.
2. Convert the binary tab to xstring.
3. You can use this xstring on the Adobe Form to display the image.
Maybe the following tips are useful.
*How to get the data of chart you can see in the class
CL_TIME_CHART_SIMPLE (use cl_gui_chart_engine for the chart but class cl_igs_chart_engine for saving the image)
*How to bind the image to the importing parameter (xstring)

REM Planned Orders being generated with Order type LA instead of PE

Hi All,
I'm running the Repetitive Manufacturing scenario and when I execute the MRP run for my Planned Independent Requirements, Planned orders are automatically generated with the order type LA. I understand that for repetitive manuf., planned orders should have the order typ PE.
Is there something missing in config? How can I get the orders to be generated with the Order type PE??

HI,
Check the following settings which is required for REM
1. Master Data -
- Create Material master - MM01
-Create BOM - CS01
-Create rate Routing - CA21
Create Rem profile - SPRO ->Production planning -> Rem.Manuf->Control data or use existing one
Assign Bom seelction method = 2 & 3 (Prod version) in MRP view
Rem MFG indicator - mrp view in MM01.
Assign the REM profile to a material - MRP view in MM01.
create Valid Production version - MRP view in MM01 & Check Rem mfg ind
Assign the BOM and routings in Prod. Version
2.For Preliminary Cost Estimate:
Create version specific product cost collecter for Header material and preiminary cost estimate - KKF6N as per the settings in Rem profile. -
3 For standard cat Estimate.
create std Cost estimation(CK11n)
std cost Estimation Mark & release(CK24)
Thanks

MRP Generated production orders greys out Sales Order and Customer fields

Hi there,
The MRP generated production orders greys out the Sales Order and Customer fields for some reasons. These fields are really important as they link the production order to the sales order and the customer's purchase order. Could the SAP team please fix this or advise alternative way of getting the sales order and customer info on production order? Thanks.

Hello
MRP only poulated this fields in case the material master has been set up with a strategy group hich is make to order (normally 20). Otherwise MRP summarizes all the requirements from different Customer orders and creates a production order
