MRP: lot size procedure

Hellow everyone,
I have to configure MRP for some materials. The problem is that we need to create an automatic purchase requisition when the stock level goes beyound a certain safety quantity and the proposal must be a result of the average quantity of the last three months sales plus a 20 percent. Example: the last three months sales average = 5000 kg then the quantity proposal must be 5000*1.2=6000kg. I also don't know if I can configure this in standard SAP or if we need the help of an ABAP consultant.
Thanks!

hi,
for your requirement there is the concept of range of coverage. this is nothing but the dynamic safety stock.
please follow the link
Coverage Profile Settings - Min field ( Range of coverage)
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Dynamicsafetystock+calculation
and there are many in this regards.

  • MRP Lot Size Difference

    Hi All
    In OMI4 ie. MRP lot size procedure i see several MRP lot sizes i.e. EX, WB etc....
    But only major difference i find is in terms of scheduling i.e.
    Blank (Requirement date = delivery date), 1 (period start = delivery date), & so on i.e. 2, 3, 4
    Can anyone tell how it works?????? What is its significance
    Example would be very good for me
    Please suggest
    Rgds

    Hi Vicky,
    Requirement date = delivery date
    Planning or procurement proposal will create on req date
    Period start = Delivery date
    Planning or procurement proposal will create on period start.
    ie, if you use period lot size WB,MB.
    WB means weekly lot size ie, on Monday cumulated requirement will create for that week. Same for MB, month end planning proposal will create.
    Period End = Delivery date
    ie, if you use period lot size WB,MB.
    On Saturday cumulated requirement will create for that week if you use WB. Same for MB.
    This concept will not work if you use planning time fence.

  • Lot size procedure & MRP

    Dear All,
    What is Lot size procedure and how it will affect during MRP run?
    Please provide some example against explanation.

    Suppose,
    Avaialble Stock= 50
    PIR 150 on 25/06 
    PIR 60 on 27/06
    When you run MRP,
                                 Avaialble stock
    PIR 150 on 25/06       100
    Planned ordre 100       0
    PIR 60 on 27/06         60
    Planned order  60        0
    For 1st PIR, The NEt requirement is 50-150=-100, So planned order for 100 is created.
    For 2 nd PIR, the ner requirement is 50-150-60+100= -60, planned order for 60 is created.
    In toto, net requirement = Stock-total requiremens+ Total receipts

  • Help on Planning Calender and lot size procedure settings

    Hi Gurus,
    We have 2 different schedule at the moment for our PO Placing to our supplier :
    1. Planning Calendar D01 --> For Seafreight shipment, PO Placing on bi-weekly basis, every Monday and RDD (Request Delivery Date) is on Thursday (11 days after PO Placing)
    2. Planning Calendar D02 --> For Airfreight shipment, PO Placing on weekly basis, every Friday and RDD (Request Delivery Date) is on Wednesday (5 days after PO Placing)
    Now we have required to change the SEAFREIGHT process by having the PO Placing on weekly basis, every Monday and RDD (Request Delivery Date) is on Wednesday (9 days after PO Placing).
    Please let me know the step by step procedure to create a new Planning Calendar and Lot Size Procedure to accomodate this requirement?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Brijesh

    Dear Brijesh:
    1. I think you are planning to change the Planning calendare D01.
    2. For this go to MD26- GIVE THE plant / palnning calendar id.
    3. Then in the CAlc rule for spec peroid - change the day from wednesday to Monday.
    4. SAve this and generate periods.
    5. Now in the maeterial master- check if you have the lot size as PK and also planning calendar as d01.
    6. In the planned dleiveyr times you enter 9 days.
    Kindly check this and revert back.

  • MRP lot size to WB

    Dear All,
    Despite changing MRP Lot Size to WB (Weekly Lot Size), MRP result continues to show monthly lot qty for both IndReq and PurRqs.  I am expecting to see WEEKLY lot qty/size instead.  Please clarify if by changing to WB (Weekly Lot Size), should users see weekly qty per month? 
    Amit

    IN MD61 or MD62
    Enter the period and  enter Planning period as W - week and enter Week wise Plan
    IF U have only Monthly plan
    Then Maintain planning period as M - Monthly
    and enter
    after entering the month plan in the period
    go to schedule line tab
    With respective to monthly plan enter W in split
    system will split the monthly plan into Week

  • MRP Lot-Sizing Procedures PK

    Hi experts,
    When we use lot-sizing procedures PK, I have a problem about it.
    Can you please kindly help me.
    The problem is.
    When we run MRP and get the release date as past date in purchase requisition.
    I would not like system to propose release date as past date.
    Do we need more configuration for using lot-sizing procedures PK ?
    The settings are mentioned as below.
    * material master
    - Lot size in MRP1 view : PK
    - MRP Type in MRP1 view : PD
    - Procurement type in MRP2 view : F
    * MRP parameters
    - Processing key : NETCH
    - Create purchase req. : 1 (Purchase requisitions)
    - Delivery schedules : 3 (Schedule lines)
    - Create MRP list : 1 (MRP list)
    - Planning mode : 1 (Adapt planning data (normal mode))
    - Scheduling : 2 (Lead Time Scheduling and Capacity Planning)

    please read below for the detail explanation of the  release date.

    tks.
    Purchase Requisition Release Date
    Specifies the date on which the purchase order
    should be initiated on the basis of the purchase

  • Question on MRP lot size.

    Greetings Gurus
    I have a question on running MRP and lot size. We would like to run MRP for our horizon period of 4 months.
    Basically, we want SAP to create a single purchase requisition for any requirements that falls within this 4 month period,
    But any requirements that fall outside of this, we want SAP to exclude (horizon MRP group set to 4 months)
    I am having difficulty making this happen.
    I think it may have to do with my lot size definition. Icopied lot size MB and changed the no of periods to 4.
    But when I run MRP (@MD03, Processing key = NETPL, Create PR= 1, DelScd = 3, everything else = 1),
    it creates 2 requisitions, one for theimmediate 4 month horizon period, but then it creates another requisition for the next 4 month period.  
    When I set my lot size to MB, it creates everything within the single 4 month horizon period as I expect, but it breaks it up into
    requisitions by month.
    Any advice on how I can accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    Txn Code OMI4, make a copy of lot size MB to say Z3 & give a description as required, then change the value of No. of periods to 3 & save. Now you can assign this in your Material Master.
    you need copy as Z3 from MB and also assigned to material master (view MRP1), and the short term parameters as per below:
    - No of period = 4
    - Lot size proced = P
    - Lot size ind = M
    - Scheduling = 1, else <blank>
    For further any issues pls share with us.
    Regards

    The lot sizes are maintained in transaction OMI4.
    The following are a few standard lot sizes,
    ES - Lot-for-lot order quantity w. splitting,
    FX - Fixed order quantity
    FS - Fixing and splitting
    GR - Groff reorder procedure
    HB - Replenish to maximum stock level
    MB - Monthly lot size
    TB - Daily lot size

  • MRP lot size?

    HI All,
    Guys i configured M.R.P Type and M.R.P Controller, but I am unable to understand the M.R.P Lot size?
    while i am creating a material in mm01 lot size is not allowing me to chose any other option except EX-Lot for Lot Order quantity.. could any one suggest why is it so..?

    > while i am creating a material in mm01 lot size is not allowing me to chose any other option except EX-Lot for Lot Order quantity.. could any one suggest why is it so..?
    Do you mean you can see all the lot sizes but system is not allowing to select or you can see only EX? Because only "EX" lot size doesnt require further data. But if you select any other lot sizes like "FX - fixed lot", you also need to enter the fixed lot size value in fixed value. if you are dealing with CBP, below are the important lot sized to use.
    Lot-for-Lot Order Quantity
    Fixed Lot Size
    Replenishment up to Maximum Stock Level

  • How to know if a MRP run element is using Quota Arrangement and lot size?

    Hi all,
    Two questions:
    A) How to determine if a source is actually pulled from Quota Arrangement?
    I am wondering if there is anyway from ABAP table or from Transaction (i.e. Purchasing Order) in which the source is pulled from a Quota Arrangement?
    We use scheduling agreement, PIR and source list, and as well as Quota Arrangement for our purchasing.
    I just want to know how, from system (table and transaction), to find out the source is from quota, not from PIR or others.
    B) Quota Arrangement still can work properly if lot-size procedure's splitting quota indicator not Checked?
    If my the lot-size procedure which I am using for a material does not activate the splitting quota indicator, it means split quota will not work during MRP run.
    But does this also mean that quota arrangement will not be working for this particular material even if I have create a a quota arrangement object (via MEQ1) for this material?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Tomek,
    If I want to use the split quota, it seems there is some pre-requisite.
    If you go to MEQ1 and press F1's on the "Minimum qty split" column, and you will notice the following message.
    Allocation by quota using splitting quotas is only carried out via a requirement planning run, subject to the following preconditions:
    Through the appropriate entry in the field Quota arrangement usage (on the MRP data screen 2 or Purchasing screen) it must have been specified that a quota arrangement is to be applied in the planning run.
    The indicator for the splitting quota must be set for the the lot-sizing procedure used for materials planning purposes in Customizing.
    Hence, the quota arrangmeent still workable even if the lot-size does not have the spliting quota box checked?
    Indicator: Splitting quota in short-term horizon
    The indicator for splitting is used to determine that in the case of the selected lot size, the quota arrangement is to be applied using the splitting logic.
    Use
    If this indicator has been set, the lot is split up in the planning run according to the following formula:
                                quota for source X
    Quantity for source  X = --------------------- * requirement
                               sum of all quotas

    I am executing MRP on 7.04.11
    As shown above the, can you please explain why the planned order is on Wed 12th and it covers 5 days requirement and similarly Tuesday 19th and covers 6 days.
    I am not able to relate the relation between Planning calendar and Lot size procedure used. Also what would happen if I make planning calendar valid for two days in a week.
    Thanks in advance
    Rahul

    Thanks dear
    Yes you are right the Planning Calendar starts 18.4.11 and ends 24.4.11
    Now as far as first planned order is concerned I thought it should be scheduled to start&end  on Monday 11.04.11, rather it starts&ends on Tuesday 12.4.11. Also the actual coverage days goes up to 5 days even though its maintained for 3 days.
    Similarly the second planned order also comes up on Tuesday 19.04.11 and covers 6 days (more than the setting and planning Calendar of only Monday)
    On the whole this is confusing me on Lot size and Planning Calendar relation and how it impacts MRP. Can you please help me on this.
    Also if you can throw some details on: how to restrict MRP to give planned order only on, say, Monday and Thursday, as only then it could be produced.
    Thanks in advance

  • Lot size Key without splitting Quota

    Hi,
    Can any one explain me what is the use of Lot size Key without splitting Quota.
    We had created a lot size Key - XY with following seting:-
    1) Lotsize Proceed = P
    2) Lotsize indicator -K
    3) Scheduling =2
    4) No of periods = 1
    5) Splitting Quota = Not checked(blank)
    If we had configured this lot size key, what is the benefits of the above setting, What testing need to be done to know whether this lot size key is working perfectly after configuration?.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    If splitting quota indicator not set, then qouta arrangement is not used during planning wrt to selected lot size.
    Lot size procedure you selected, it is a periodic lot sizing procedure. Here the system groups several requirements within a time interval together to form a lot.
    Lot size indicator  Determines how the lot size is calculated for a certain lot-sizing procedure during material requirements planning. For your selection system creates lot size by refereing to planning calender defined in the system
    Scheduling -
    This indicator defines the time in the period the system is to create the availability date or the start date for the lot for period
    lot-sizing procedures.
    The availability date is the date on which the material, including the goods receipt processing time, is available again. In the MRP  list, the  availability date is equal to the MRP date.
    In in-house production, the start date is the order start date, in external procurement the start date is the release date.
    according to your selection - Availability date at period end
    No of periods - 1
    Run a complete MRP cycel  to check whether it is working properly or not.
    Post the results what you get.
    Regards,
    Pavan
