MRP- Planning period

Hello gurus
We want the demand management for five years . But at the same time we want the MRP to restrict by 6 months or by 130 working days.
How to do both the functions ?
How the MD04 screen will be viewed ?
Thanks
JJ

- specify the horizon in MD61 & plan as per your need.
What do you mean by that ?
In MD61 in the initial screen, you have the input field to specify the planning horizon i.e. From & To, this is defines the duration for which you want to enter your needs & in planning method, you specify as M, i.e. Months, so you will have 12 * 5 which is 60 buckets
- your planning horizon determines the number of days upto which the needs
are considered (OPPQ)..
Is it for finished goods or raw materials . ?
The planning horizon is not dependent on the material type.
For example if the finished goods requirements is limited by 130 days ,
the vendor delivery time for the raw materials will be 4-6 months .
How MRP will be considered the BOM explosion ?
In this case, the system will plan for all needs which lie within those 130 working days, anything beyond that will not be planned as of the MRP run date.
Hope it is clear.

With Thanks and Rgds

Hi,
Planning period facilitates you to put your demands as per your process e.g. day, week or month level.
e.g.
In demand mgmt you can put demands as given below by selecting planning period as per your requirements.
option 1. day level-----
day -               05.12.2009      06.12.2009       07.12.2009   08.12.2009
quantity           1000                1300                  0                   800
option 2. month level------
month                         12.09         01.10
quantity                      10000        12000
Likewise for other planning periods.

MRP: Planning horizon & opening period

hi MM Experts,
please, explain what is "MRP planning horizon" and what is the impact on MD03 ?
please expalin elso "the MRP Opening period" and what's his utility ?
both of them are in the OMI8 tcode.
thanx in advance.
SDA

Hi. Hope this helps.
Planning horizon is the Time period in days, MRP will consider the requirements for Planning. We can define this in number of days in OPPQ and/or in OPPR.
Simply it is = Cumulative lead time + Longest batching period.
You can define the Planning horizon in OPPQ/OPPR as mentioned above
& under MRP group then we assign this MRP group to material master in MRP1 view.
NETPL ( Net change planning in planning horizon) you will get it in MD02, MD01: With this processing key only material where the indicator NETPL has been set in planning calendar are planned.For example if we set planning horizon as 30 days then in the material in which MRP relevant changes happened in last 30 days will only be planned. This planning restricts the scope of planning or number of material which reduces the runtime of planning run. Planning horizon is the period beyond it, requirements don't generate planned orders.
Opening Period is...
Opening period is like a "release window". The length of the opening period is the window of opportunity a planner has to convert the planned order to a purchase req.
For example - Component A has a lead time of 14 days and opening period of 5 days. Requirement on 12-22-03
Opening Date - 01/12/09
Start Date - 08/12/09
Finish Date - 22/12/09
Now the planner can convert the order starting Dec. 1st, instead of Dec. 8. It basically is a buffer in the lead time to get things on order a little sooner than needed.
Thanks.

"Error determining planning periods for calendar " when running a program

Hi,
When i am running a program with date range say "01/05/2011" to "30/06/2011",the program is executing successfully without any error. When i am executing the same program with date range as a) "01/05/2009" to "30/06/2011" and b)"01/05/2008" to "30/06/2011" the program is failing with error as "Error determining planning periods for calendar". Can anyone suggest me what i should do to avoid the failure of the program with above date ranges also.
Thanks in advance,

Dear,
Error message 61123:"Error determining planning periods for calendar &".The PPC planning calendar specified in the material master MRP 2 view for the material is incorrectly.
The planning calendar periods are insufficiently maintained for the planning calendar used.
Check the period of planning calendar in MD26 and generate the correct period.You can avoid the problem in several ways:
Maintain the planning calendar far enough in the future (at least until beyond the end of the planning horizon).
Also check any demand is lies beyond the validity period of planning calendar.
Reduction of the planning horizon of MRP also can control such issue, as MRP planning horizon lies in an area in which the planning calendar is no longer maintained

MRP planning horizon

Hello,
One of our businesses has a requirement that planning horizon in MD64 / MD65 be defined once only for the first 3 planning periods. Planning period is in months. They enter forecasts for 12 months. They want that the first time they use MD64 they should be able to make entries for all 12 months. Subsequently, when they are entering forecasts for planning periods they want that entries for the first 3 months from the current date should be locked/ uneditable. For example, on 1 Jun 2008 they enter quantites for the first 3 months as 1000, 1200, 800. The next time independent reqs are defined the quantities 1000, 1200 and 800 should be uneditable. Is this possible? Or is there a way to accomplish this at the initial screen where the planning horizon is entered (by placing a check of some sort on the "from" date so that it must be 3 months forward from the current date). Perhaps some check at the basis level? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
In Jan first you have created 12 months requirement & ran MRP. So planned order created for all 12 months.
Now change in material master MRP type P1.
Planning time fence - 3 months ie, 90 days.
Again run MRP. System firm all the existing planned orders which are between these 90 days. No automatic changes will happen if you run MRP once again.
If you create new proposal with in this 90 days, system will not change the existing planned orders and new planned order will create after the planning time fence.
P1 function is, with in the planning horizon already existing planned order convert to firm planned order. If any new proposal comes within this period system creates planned order at the end of planning time fence.
Suppose if you run MRP on Feb, system will consider 90 days from the current date. So Feb, Mar,Apr planned order get firm. No automatic changes will happen.

Error determining planning periods for calendar

Hello SAP Guru's
We are receiving the above error when trying to go into MD04 for a particular material. we have checked the forecast agains the planning calendar and the dates in the forecast and demand planning are approximately 2 years less than the end date in the planning calendar.
Checking SAP it has said to extend the planing calendar past the planning horizon. It is already extended past the planning horizon.
The only issue with this product is that the material will soon be superseded by another material, this has a different calendar assigned to it. Could this be the problem?
Any info gratefully received.
Thanks
Sue

Hello Vicky,
The error occurs when first going into MD04. The exact error message is as follows:
Error determining planning periods for calendar M14
Message no. 61123
Diagnosis
The system could not determine sufficient planning periods by the planning calendar to group requirements by planning calendar periods for all the requirements planned in the future.
System Response
When a material is planned by using the periodical lot size by planning calendar, sufficient periods must be calculated to group requirements by the planning calendar for all requirements.
Procedure
Rework the planning calendar with which the material was planned, which means calculate new planning calendar periods.
To do this, go to Customizing for MRP, under the activity Change PPC periods.

MRP plans sales orders outside planning horizon

MRP plans Sales order for Finished Goods Outside planning horizon even when using NETPL. Strategy 40 is in use with 3 level BOMs. Planning horizon - 200 day. How could it be prevented?

Dear,
Please check have you assigned any MRP group to your material masters in MRP1view? Then check the planning horizon maintain in MRP group in OPPR also check same for your plant in OPPQ.
If you define it as 200 days then system will only plan the requirement which falls under 200 days with processing key as NETPL.
If we set planning horizon as 200 days then in the material in which MRP relevant changes happened in last 200 days will only be planned. Planning horizon is the period beyond it, requirements don't generate planned orders
Please check and revert back.

MRP Planning

Hi,
We have an issue where the part created the purchase requistion and gets rescheduled daily and thus the Release date in the purchase requistion gets Changed daily.As of result of which, the PR is not falling within a varint which is used to convert PR into PO.
Part is not used in any BOM and there are no open orders or sales orders for this part. MRP considered this part and created a PR as the safety stock has been consumed. Now whenever MRP runs(MRP runs daily), the requirement date gets Changed automatically, though there is no entry observed in planning file.Backward scheduling is applied in this case.
Your thoughts on this issue is appreciated!
MRP type for the part is PD - MRP
Safety stock is in negative
Planning mode 1 - Adapt Planning data (Normal) in MD03.
Planning file entry - no MRP planning type is checked
let me know if I am missing anything!
Thanks

Hello
On the tab "Quantities/dates" you should check the flag "Fixed ID" so that MRP won't change the requisition anymore.

Planned order for MPS items can be unfirmed in MRP plan

Hi All,
I'm using SCP functionality (not ASCP) in MRP module. I run a global MPS first and then use it as supply schedule to drive mrp plans. I noticed that some planned orders (for MPS items) loaded into MRP from MPS can be unfirmed in MRP and I can enter new quantity and new date for them, whereas other planned orders for MPS cannot be unfirmed.
What is the logic behind it? How to control it?
thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi Ram,
I don't think that there should be any issue due to the planned order created in the system against the PIR for the next month ....& it will not lead to improper planing even if the demand changes still we are not going for the firmed planned order....... if the PIR changes during the next MRP run then it will adjust the planned order accordingly .....
Still you want to restrict the planning to the current month then the simplest way that I can think of is planning horizon....
Thanks

OSA - Higher manager in planning period

I can use the higher manager role in the part appraisal status but I can not use it in the planning period. Is there any way to use higher manager in the planning period?
Regards,

Hi,
Did you activate the WF for that particular Workflow?
Check the Tcod SWDD and here give The Workflow id 12300122 and chek the triggering event. It should be activated (Green color).
Also you can simulate the Higher level manager for the same appraisal document.
Do the Following to simulate the Agent.
1. Goto PFAC and give Rule = 12300020 and goto display
2. Now Press (Shift + F8) to simulate the rule.
3.In the Pop-up screen, give the appraisal docuemnt id and press F8 button.
4. You will get the Higher level manager if you have assigned it to the appraisal document.
5. If nothing is coming here, then the Higher level manager is not assigned to Document.
6. Get the help of an ABAPer for Workflow related testing if needed.
Hope this helps you.
Reward if helpful.

Subbu.

MRP planning improved delivery date

Hello you all,
I have a question regarding the MRP planning of improved delivery dates. Let me schedule the scenario.
As material is ordered, the expected delivey date is indicated by delivery rules. If for some reason the supplier can deliver earlier, this is mentioned in the PO tab Confrmations confirmation catagory AB.
As we run the MRP via transaction V_V2, the updated delivery date is not shown in MD04.
What do i need to do to see the correct data in MD04?
If this is all a bit fuzzy, please ask for further details. I am not a SD consultant.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best Regards,
Peter Lans

Hi,
Run the program SDRQCR21 in SA38.
This will correct the data in MD04.
Hope this helps.

Budgeting and Planning periods in Comensation Management

Hi guys,
Do budgeting periods and Planning periods have to be the same in compensation management? Based on the SAP documentation, I understand that planning period can be different from budgeting period? What if my client has budget period from 01/01/2009 to 12/31/2009 and his planning period from 04/01/2009 to 03/31/2009? It should not matter to me since we are assigning the budgets to the adustment types. What are your views on this? Can you please let me know @ the earliest?
Thanks in advance
Sri

HI,
You can have different budget period and planning periods...it depends upon how the client wants it but you need to check how the amount assigned to an employee is deducted and from which budget period..
eg. budget periods
01.01.2008 31.12.2008
01.01.2009 31.12.2009
Planning period 01.04.2008 31.03.2009
Planning period is overlapping 2 budgets hence will the amount for april to december be deducted from first budget and for the remaining 3 months from the second budget period.
