MRP Not considering Safety stock

Hello
We have settings as 1000 for safety stock . if the stock went below 1000 , MRP is not pulling the stock for the confirmation of the Production order. we checked the safety stock indicator in the Availability check for the Prod order confirmation . What ever the stock are available ( only unrestricted stock we want to consider for the availability check )
Any suggestion please.
Thanks
JJ

Hi,
When your stock level goes below the Safety stock, then MRP will trigger a planned order to maintain the planned order. In your availability scope of check, if you checked the safety stock, the system will allow to consume the safety stock by posting the goods issue, if the tick is not there, it will not post the goods issue, saying insufficient stock is there.

To run MRP without considering unrestricted stock

Hi,
Is it possible to run MRP without considering unrestricted stock of the material?
Best Regards,
Sitaraman

Dear All,
Thanks a lot for your response to this thread.
In fact i tried the option of providing value 1 to exclude the storage location stock from the MRP. But it did not fulfil my requirement.
My requirement is as below:
The business wants to create the material requirement by manual reservations.
Also for this MRP run except this manual reservations all other issue elements, receipt elements and stocks should not get considered.
With checking group configuration i am able to exclude all other issue, receipt and stock elements. But in this settings there is no option to exclude the unrestricted stock.
What happened when i tried giving 1 in MRP 4 view to exclude the storage location stock, the system not only excludes the stock but also it excludes the storage location from MRP run. Meaning...
Plant XXXX
SLOC YYYY
SLOC - YYYY current stock: 100
Manual reservation created (requirement) for SLOC -YYYY : 50
The expectation out of MRP run is, to create procurement proposals for 50 numbers with out considering SLOC - YYYY stock of 100 and not to exclude the SLOC YYYY itself.

Do not consider the stock onhand during SNP.

Hi APO specialists.
I'd like to run SNP plan that do not consider the stock onhand.
Material A is purchase item. and the forecast of material A has 400 qty.
and stock onhand is 200 qty.
But I want to make the purchase request as 400 qty.
How to ?
Anyone who has the solution can reply this question.
Thank you all.

Hi,
Try following in separate planning book by copying standard planning book.
In a macro for stock balance change the step for calculation of stock on hand projected. In this step remove the function of INITIAL_STOCK.

MRP not considering STO as demand

Hi,
When I run MRP, it is not considering the Storage location STO (SLOC to SLOC) as the demand.
here is the scenario in detial.
Material 1, MRP1 : MRP type V1 Reorder point 10, MRP 4 MRP indicator, SP proc key 20, Reorder point 50, Repl qty 25
STO created for 30. MRP run. ORD DS as -30 and available qty as 20. At this stage I expected a Pur req because the stock fell below reorder point
Material 2, MRP1 : MRP type PD Reorder point 0, MRP 4 MRP indicator, SP proc key 20, Reorder point 50, Repl qty 25
Same thing observed in this case also.
Bottom line STO (SLOC to SLOC) it is not considering as demand.
Please let me know the options that I have and what i am missing.
Thanks
Srini

The problem is solved.
I have made a change to the MRP type.
In the config, Under Additional requirements in Reorder point Planning, I have selected all the check boxes. For the current requirement, Order Reservation and Release Ord stock transfer are sufficient.
After transporting the values, It worked as expected. It considered, STO as well as reservations as demand.
PS: Initially it did not work after the transport. I went into the Material in the change mode and touched and saved it. It is working fine
Thanks

MRP not considering Process orders

Hello Gurus,
My pl.ind.req is 100 and I run MRP , system creates planned order for 100. When I convert this process order, the available qty in MD04 is blank. Then When I run MRP again, its creating new planned order for 100. I am thinking its every basic setting somewhere. Please help
Atul

Hello,
I resolved the issue, immediately after I posted yesterday. The issue was that on the Goods receipt tab in process orders, "Goods Receipt, Non Valuated" was checked and "Goods Receipt" wasn't. Once I checked that everything was OK. Since the GR from process order was marked as Non-valuated, MRP was not considering it. I think this is a finance setting. Will take it up with the finance guys. Thanks

To consider subcontract stock during mrp run

Dear all,
while mrp run it is not considering subcontractor stock .Is there any setting in spro so that it will consider subcontractor stock into consideration.
with regards
cp vijaya kumar

Dear,
Special stocks are not considered for MRP run. Subcontracting stock is a special stock(O), hence is not considered for MRP.
Hope clear to you.

How can MRP consider subcontracting stock?????

Hi All
Is there any way wherein MRP can consider subcontracting stock???????????
Say for example; client is sending excess material to subcontractor due to storage constraints at his end. Now, subcontractor will assemble the components and send them back....Now since i had send excess material as against my requirement; i have excess stock... But when there is a requirement for this and when i do MRP run, system is not considering this stock and proposes new purchase requisitions????
Is there any way wherein MRP can consider this subcontracting stock...Please give your valuable comments??

Hi,
Go to Tcode OPJJ and check the settings under the combination of Availability check and checking rule.

Project stock (WBS element) not consider in QA07 Transaction

Standard SAP transaction QA07 for Deadline monitoring of batches not
considering project stock (WBS element) for the same
Kindly suggest for your possible solutions as we are going to fully equipped with
project system and its stock must be
considered for background scheduler of recurring inspection
Waiting for your kind and immediate action
With Regards,
Kunal Sheth

Hi!
We regret to inform you, that the report RQAAAS10 ( QA07 ) does not
support project stocks.
For better understanding of the transaction QA07, I would ask you kindly
to review the documentation for the report RQAAAS10.
Here are the Requirements for this report:
'The batch master data corresponds to the selection conditions.
Only those batches that full fill the following conditions are examined:
-the batch status is "released".
-the unrestricted-use stock is greater than zero.
-the stock is not in a HU storage location'
This means that all 'special' stock locations, like for example project
stock, will be not relevant for this transaction.
Unfortunately SAP not able to provide a workaround for your
issue, with the exception of a customer own development. In this case
you can copy the report and make the correspondent adjustments needed.

Safety Stock Not Being Released To Cover New Sales Orders Or Forecast

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to get safety stock at the lower levels of the BOM to get released for upper level sales order or forecast demand without having to adjust the effectively out to a future date?
Example:
A = Finish goods item with two weeks lead time
B= component of A and it has two weeks lead time
C= component of B and has 10 weeks lead time.
Have safety stock hard coded with an effective date of today for 100,000 units.
I have 100,000 in inventory and I have planned orders to cover all my demands and future safety stock requirements for the next ten weeks.
I receive a new sales order for 50,000 units with a customer request date five weeks out.
I am getting ATP dates to assign to the new sales order 14 weeks out versus allowing me to use 50,000 units from the safety stock to schedule in week five?
Even If I schedule the sales order for five weeks, because I have gone down two levels to confirm that I have safety stock, and It could be used, planned orders would not get generated at the next two levels, because the demand date on the safety stock is earlier than the demand date for the new order?
Is there any resolution that anyone has found that addresses this issue?
We have set a demand priority rule on the ASCP plan options tab to "Sales Order Priority" where we have set criteria for number one to "Sales Orders & MDS Entries Priority" and number two to "Schedule Date".
We have found that adjusting the supply and demand dates out to cover the full 14 week period does reduce the safety stock at the lower levels, but it also creates additional starts and inventory to be put into the line, which makes this approach not feasible.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? We do not build safety stock for the sake of building safety stock. We want it to be used for any sales order or forecast demand that comes within the planning horizon.
Appreciate any inputs.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Try this note suggestion, possibly help you in resolving your issue.
How to Avoid Getting Safety Stock Replenishment Too Early in an ASCP Plan [ID 301629.1]
In order to line up the safety stock supply with the changes in safety stock, a combination of the profiles must be used:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes
and the plan option
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority is checked.
The profile MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes will perform the following:
For all demands and supplies, it proceeds item by item and
pegs supplies to demands on a daily basis. Daily supplies
and demands are not sorted. When supplies or demands
on a given date are used up, it picks from supplies or
demands on the next date. The unpegged supplies are
pegged to excess.
The peg supplies by demand priority combined with the profile above will prevent the system to plan ahead for safety stock.
Also no safety stock smoothing is setup.
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Please set the profile:
MSC: Use FIFO Pegging as yes and
2. Under the plan settings in the main tab the set the following options:
Enable Pegging ON
Peg Supplies by Demand Priority ON
Warm Regards

Safety stock, forecasting doubts

Can anyone guide me on my doubts,
1) Safety stock : While describing safety stock in oracle, we are mentioning date and quantity. Take a example - item = xyz, Date = 01 Jan 2012, Qty = 10. is it means that 01 Jan 2011 onward, stock level of item xyz should be atleast 10. If it is less that 10 after 10 Jan, then suggest planned order from ASCP.. ?
2.1) I can see that we can manually mention safety stock, system will calculate safety stock. In case of manual, xyz item attribute should be 'Not MRP" Planned. I can mention item, date and qty for in safety stock form.
2.2) In case of system to calculate Safety stock, I have mentioned attribute value as " MRP planned", mentioned safety stock days as well. Here I have created a forecast and ran "Reload safety stocks" with method as "User defined %" with forecast created for SS calculation. Now I can see corresponding newly created SS in system.
Now I have ran data collection with calculate safety stock = Yes, and after than launched plan as well. But I am not able to see both type of safety stock in ASCP workbench. I will say, I am not able to see any safety stock demand in workbench in any one of organization. Like to inform you that while doing collection, I have selected all organizations which are enabled and also same was selected while launching plan.. so whats wrong and so not able to see any safety stock demand in system.
3) Forecasting: I can put forecasting at component instead of products level ( ie finished good). Now suppose, I have kept forecasting at component level, means I have mentioned component item, qty and due date in forecast form. Now ASCP will consider this as demand and drive material, may suggest planned order. Now same time, I have booked a SO, having a products, which requires that forecasted component to do assembly. As there is demand against forecast and demand for SO, will drive material and this will be duplication. So netting of forecast is must, which we can do through forecast consumption. Now in my scenario, I have mentioned forecast for child in forecast and SO is booked against finished item. Now my question is - is there any provision for component level consumption based on finished good SO.. ?
Let me know if anyone needs more clarity on above case,
Thanks and Regards,
Dipak

Thanks Partha your help. Following solution is working on MRP, but it seems that not working on ASCP. I am pasting process here, Here V is long LT item.
1) Define a planning bill forecast, consider FC00. This contains aggregated demand of V against a particular date.
2) We will explode forecast from FC00 to FC01, where you can see forecast against component of ‘planning bill item’ along with Qty and date. Qty will be derived from planning percentage mentioned in planning bill.
3) In order to convert these forecast demand in purchase order, we have to use a plan.. say ‘Small Plan’. Purpose of this plan is to consider ‘Forecast FC01’ only as demand ( ie do not consider any SO, On-hand etc for calculation ), and create a supply by release planned order. Here needs to run collection and also needs to mention demand schedule as ‘FC01’ in plan parameter.
4) Now all planned order as per forecast will be released and converted either requisition / PO. This may be firm / non firm.
5) Now define another Master plan, ( in order case, this plan will be global plan) which consider all supply and all demand sources. But ensure that we will not mention FC00 / FC01 forecast in this plan demand schedule. This plan will consider PO / requisition supply created via ‘Small Plan’, and will peg to actual SO. This will not peg to FC 01 as we have not attached this forecast to master plan demand schedule.
6) Now if SO dependent demand of V is less than PO qty, then master plan will suggest to raise PO vice versa it will suggest to cancel / re-schedule in –out. We can filter such suggestion by exception / action / supplier name etc. So we will NOT do cancellation / reschedule out, but we will do re-schedule in if possible. This will ensure that we will have enough supply of V irrespective of SO demand.
From above, we can use planning bill as input for long LT items planning and output will purchase order in advance of SO, also consumption ( indirectly) of forecast can happen. If we will mention ‘include past due forecast = 0’ in planning parameter, then automatically past forecast will be excluded from planning.In addition, we can use master plan ‘supply-demand’ workbecnch output for monitering SO demand trend with forecast entry done by planner.
Now am checking on ASCP and believe that it will work in ASCP as well.
Thanks for support ,
Dipak

MTO Strategy consider the stock in hand

Dear Experts,
AM new in MRP Field, pls advise me about pure MTO Strategy which consider stock in hand. MRP run should consider the available stock for net requirement calculation. I tried with strategy 20,but it is not consider the stock.Pls advise,
Regards,
Vijesh

Vijesh,
MTO by definition will only consider Sales order stock. This is the main planning difference between MTO and MTS. Thus, if you have generic stock on hand (not sales order specific) it is supposed to be excluded from MRP planning.
If you wish for MTO planning to consider generic stock, you have to first convert the stock to Sales Order specific stock (Special stock type 'E') using a Material Movement transaction. Or, you can stop using MTO and use an MTS strategy, such as 40.
For more info about MTO planning see http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/f4/7d2ed844af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Safety stock available for Consumption of Requirement arising from SO (MTO)

Hi PP Gurus,
I have a MTO (make to order scenario). For a certain raw material (Material A), I have maintained a Stock of (e.g.) 100 pcs. However when an SO (sales order) for a finished good (material B) (MTO) is created, a requirement of 2 pcs is created for Material A.
The problem is, when i check MD04 stock requirement list for Material A, the system doesn't recognize the exisiting stock 100pcs. The line item for the SO requirement is CustSt 0.000 . Thus, after MRP the system creates a PR (purchase requisition for Material A)
which based on the stock, it should not.
I would really appreicate if someone can help me.
Thank you,
Heinrick Palad

Dear,
Check the "Selection method" field in MRP4 view for the FG.
u2022If you select individual requirement then system will not consider available stock and generate Proposals for every single requirments.
If you select collective requirement then system will not generate planing proposals through MD50.In that case you have to go for individual MRP (MD02 / MD03 / MD41 / MD42).
Please run MD02 and check your result.

Availability Check required without "Safety Stock"

Hi,
I have a fert material "FG' whose prodn order i am creating.
This FG has a child Component "RM"
Available Stock for RM = 20

I want the production order not to consider SAFETY STOCK. Hence in OPJJ i removed the Tick "Include Safety Stock".
When i create production order, as per the above setting, it should show " Material Avaliable", but instead it is showing Material Shortage.
Plz guide.

STOCK OF FINISHED PRODUCT BY PIR NOT CONSIDERING WHILE TAKING MRP RUN

DEAR SAPGURUS,
I have finished product stock of 50 nos through planned independent requairement. now i am creating sales order for finished product but mrp run generate the planned order for finished product. I dont have planned order for finished product because material already have stock. what can i do please give solution.
thanks.

Atul

Hi Atul,
Please describe your problem better, it's not easy to understand...
Strategy 10 is net reqirement planning:
- SAP considers only PIRs as requirements, SOs are not considered
- SAP considers stock levels
- requirements should be LSF (check in MD04)
If you input sales order SAP won't create PldOrd for it. If you have stock and you want to create more to fulfil you SO, you have to input PIR accordingly and run MRP.
Please clarify your problem...in a way that we may understand it.
