This is the limitation of MRP in SAP B1. You cannot run MRP against a Particular Sales Order.

MRP recommendation -- Do a Stock transfer instead of Purch or prodn Order..

With the MRP report recommendations you can either select to fulfill the recomendation by Purchase Order or Production Order. is it possible to add another option i.e Stock Transfer. I.E Customer has mutliple warehouses in different regions and they are supplied via a primary warehouse. eg run MRP for region x and use the MRP recommendations to trigger stock transfers from the primary Warehouse.
Any pointers Greatly Appreciated!!!
thanks

Thanks for the reply, currently I am heading down the path of
using the order recomendation table (ORCM) from there it should be possible to run an addon to present this table with the option of a stock transfer from a primary warehouse
so the user would
1: run the MRP as normal
2:then from the recomendation screen launch a new screen that gives you the option of selecting a warehouse and initiating stock transfers for items that are available
3:ones that are not available(or not enough in stock) would remain on the recomendation report to be actioned with a PO or ProdOrder.
the stock transfer would move the stock to some sort of virtual wharehouse while the logistics physically move the goods. then then to receive the goods the user would enter a similar screen bring up all the goods in the virtual w/h and maybe tick all the valid ones and do a stock transfer to the 'actual' w/house.
ps any comments on this 'theory' are appreciated
thanks for looking

MRP recommending excess stock

I have item A with no min/max inventory. Instock is 0.
It is on sales order due Dec. 1, quantity 1.
It is on a PO that is due to arrive Dec. 14, quantity 1.
According to this, I donu2019t need any more, although my SO will ship late.
If I run MRP, it recommends a new PO for Dec. 1.
The problem is that I will end up with 1 extra piece. The only way I can prevent MRP from ordering too much is to have my PO date before the SO date.
Is this the way MRP is supposed to work?

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
You are right. This is the built in function of MRP. Even though you are fine with later arrival, the system calculation will not allow it.
However, it is only a recommendation. The final decision is the person who order. If you are ok with late arrival, just don't add the PO.
Thanks,
Gordon

MPS/MRP Recommendations in 11i

When suggesstions are made in MPS/MRP what criteria is used to establish what jobs get cancelled and what jobs get rescheduled if net WIP is checked? Haven't been able to figure out the logic. Does it have to do with due date on job...or order quantity or what?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We also need help on the logic of MPS. We have a scenario as below which we can't understand why system suggests to reschedule out discrete jobs. Please kindly give me your advices.
Thks,
ITEM A
Demand = 0
Supply:
-Job A=100, start day = plan day + 3 days
-Job B=100, start day = plan day + 3 days
-Job C=5000, start day = plan day + 3 days
We run MPS under the following situations and get some result we can't figure out why:
1. all jobs are not firmed:
==> system suggests to cancel 3 jobs
==> this is OK to us
2. firm job A & B, and job C is not firmed
==> system suggests to cancel C
==> this is also OK to us
3. firm job C only
==> system suggests to RESCHEDULE OUT job A & B
==> why??
We don't have min/max order qty for item A.

MRP - Purchase Order recommended

Hello,
Is it possible for MRP to recommend Purchase Orders to be created per warehouse(based on minimum inventory levels per warehouse). Currently, MRP recommends one Purchase Order with a total of the qty's across all the warehouses.
e.g. Warehouse A Min Qty = 5
Warehouse B Min Qty = 5
Warehouse C Min Qty = 5
MRP recommends one Purchase order, Qty 15 and for Warehouse A.
Thanks

Hi......
The only alternative would be to record the scene of the initial MRP to generate then all orders for a store, changing the numbers in the window of recommendations. Thus, in a second step, MRP run the wizard again to record the new scene will consider the remaining balances to successively make the process as many times as purchase orders from different stores there
I hope it will help
Best regards,

Purchase order status in MRP run

Hi Gurus,
I have a doubt in MRP run.
While doing the MRP run, can there be any open PO s or is it mandatory to close them.
Can you also please suggest me on how to run the MRP.

Hi,
MRP Run
Purpose
The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) function enables you to plan material requirements for complex manufacturing processes. You use the MRP Wizard to create and run MRP scenarios. The MRP Wizard generates recommendations for the production and purchasing orders required to produce the final product on time and in the required quantity. You then use these recommendations to create production and purchase orders in the Order Recommendation Report.
The order recommendation cannot be issued for requirements that happened in the past (before the present day). Since the purchasing or production process cannot be completed in time, the MRP does not mix the real past data with new recommendations for the same period.
Prerequisites
●     You have defined the
○     Planning system
○     Procurement method
○     Order mutliple
○     Minimum order
○     Lead time
See also: Item Master Data, Planning Data Tab.
●     You have set the time interval between orders. See also: Define Inventory Cycles.
●     You have defined the appropriate items as non-production bills of materials (if required). See also: Item Master Data, General Tab.
●     You have defined default warehouses. See also: Define Warehouses.
●     You have defined forecasts. See also: Forecasts.
●     You have selected the Consume Forecast option to make the system exclude existing sales orders from the forecast. If this is not selected, the forecast considers existing sales orders as an additional requirement. See also: Sales Order.
●     You have set the planning definitions. If you chose Consume Forecast, you have defined the consumption method, days forward and days backward. See also: General Settings, Inventory Tab.
Process Flow
       1.      Start the MRP Wizard.
       2.      Create a new MRP scenario or select an existing one. (See also: MRP Wizard: Select New or Existing Scenario.)
       3.      Define the parameters for your scenario, such as the planning horizon and item details.
You also choose your display preferences. (See also: MRP Wizard: Scenario Details.)
       4.      Define the data sources for requirements that you want to include in your MRP scenario.
For example, you define whether you want to consider the existing stock or the minimum stock level. You can also include a predefined forecast. (See also: MRP Wizard: Data Source.)
       5.      Save the scenario or run it.
After you run the scenario, the system displays the MRP Results.
If there are red figures in the result table, solve the problem and re-run the MRP.
       6.      Analyze the MRP results. You can display the final stock quantity before the MRP run or after it.
       7.      Save the recommendations and exit the MRP Wizard.
Result
After completing the MRP Wizard, you still need to create the purchase and production orders in accordance with the MRP recommendations. See also: Order Recommendation Report.
Hope this will help.

MRP in SAP Business One 8.8 results mistake on adding Lead Days in Product.

Hi There,
Greetings !
I practiced MRP with 1 Product having just 2 Children Items having Just a single Sales Order having multiple Delivery Due Dates after 20 Days.
I have come to see the wrong MRP Recommendations when I Add 1/2/3 Lead Days in Product. Probably it's calculating weeks instead of days.

MRP minimums suggest wrong purchase orders

Hi,
We have a problem with a customer that is usign the MRP the message is in SAP and turn it to de SDN forums for a correction in a future release. In the following DRQ you can look for the DRQ and message that have the detail of the wrong behaivor.
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
This case was reported because if we run the MRP wizard tool using minimums it doesn´t recognize the PO created. When we create a new PO to satisfy the minimum required or any sale order which their lead time required is less than 21 days after the PO created (it means that the items will not arrive at time to satisfy to the client) the system do not recognize this PO created and still requesting it u201Cnu201D times to satisfy this demand because it will never satisfy it, and that´s because the lead time with most of our suppliers are 21 days and some articles which are expired or will be soon, still requesting until the items arrives at the warehouse and be registered in the system.
Most of our articles (70% aprox.) come from foreign suppliers and the lead times that we have with them are 21 days; so as you can see is very necessary for us that the MRP tool run well because that means that the responsible to make the purchases will trust in the MRP recommendations to make the purchase process faster than it is right now and principally because we want to control our stocks to reduce it at least in 40-50%.
Valid as of: (Date that this legal requirement is applicable)
No legal requirement.
*Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the
functionality is not realized)*
the system can create false purchase orders, this alters the integrity of the information to make actual purchases

Include Stock transfer in MRP

Hello Solution Management,
Currently MRP Only check the quantity available for a given item in the warehouse(s) and suggests to buy/produce it.
However it could happen that the stock which need to be used is available in a different warehouse than the selected one(s).
The MRP should recommend not only Purchase or Production Order but also stock transfer from a warehouse to another warehouse.
It could be left to the user/company to choose to avail the stock transfer option in MRP.
example:
I have 3 warehouses:
        bonded warehouse,
        warehouse A,
         warehouse B.
My Item1 is out of stock or at minimum level in warehouse A.
Case 1: There is stock in the bonded warehouse and no stock or minimum stock in warehouse B
MRP Should suggest a transfer from the bonded warehouse
Case 2 There are stocks in the Bonded warehouse and in warehouse B
    a. MRP suggests a transfer from Warehouse B
    b. The quantity needed from warehouse A will bring warehouse 2 to a level below the minimum stock: MRP suggests:
       b1. a transfer from warehouse B for a quantity which bring the stock to the minimum and suggest to transfer the missing quantity from the bonded warehouse.
       b2. a transfer from warehouse B for a quantity which bring the stock to the minimum and suggest to transfer the missing quantity from the bonded warehouse and purchase/production if necessary.
       b3. MRP recommends a stock transfer from the Bonded warehouse for the full quantity + purchase if necessary
       b4. A purchase/production for the full quantity to avoid several transactions
Case 3 There is no stock in the bonded warehouse: or in warehouse B (or minimum level in warehouse B)
MRP recommends a purchase or a production.

It depends on the set up of your COA profile. If you have results coming from the inspection lot and you do not specify an inspection type in the COA profile header, then yes..it will.
If you specified an 04 lot in the profile, then no, since the stock transfer lot should be an 08 inspection lot.
Cert profiles are not plant specific so you can't specify an 08 inspection type. Otherwise some shipments in plant A will fail to get a COA since it is possible that no 08 inspection lot will exist.

MRP Logic

Hi All
Does anybody know without using "Hard Pegging" if the logic normally used in MRP can be altered in Oracle. As standard where you already have an open purchase order for an item and you place demand in front of the scheduled due date of the PO MRP recommends you reschedule that PO in before planning any new supply.
What I am after checking is, whether where appropriate any new planned supply could be done before any rescheduling of an item.
Thanks
Keith

MRP do not suggest rescheduling for Firmed orders.
I don't know how it works with Purchase order.
But for discrete job : if the discrete job is not firmed, MRP suggest to reschedule it to match the demand. If the discrete job is firmed , MRP does not suggest to reschedule it. It suggest to create a new work order.

MRP not using UoM

Version: 2007A PL30
Description of requirements: MRP not using UoM.
Business needs: MRP should recommend purchase quantities in line with the purchasing UoM. If a product can only be bought as a case, then no fractions (1.6 cases) should be recommended, instead 2 cases should.
Examples: When a certain product has a purchasing UoM of 24 (a case) and sales UoM of 1 (each), then when MRP recommends the purchase of 30 individual units it should recommend 2 cases. Currently it will recommend 1.6 cases (the vendors will not sell 1.6 cases, you can only buy them by the case of 24) so it makes no sense for SAP to recommend 1.6.
Current Workaround: Customer uses the MRP recommendations but rounds up the quantities to the nearest purchasing UoM.
Proposed solution: See Examples above.

Hello,
In the Item Master Data-> Planning data tab, please mention the order multiple as 24 (or its multiple).
Please see if this works.

Is Oracle MRP efficient enough to reduce Inventory?Role of Lead time setups

Gurus,
I started understanding MRP these have the following questions,appreciate your inputs on below items
1)Does Item Lead time setups play a role in MRP?If Lead time setup is blank for all items,,does MRP work efficiently?
2)We just use MRP..not using any other inv rep. techniques like Min - Max etc.Our inventory is 3/4 times more than our monthsly revenues?exmaple our one month shipments are like 1 Mil.our inventory is like 4 Mil..Is it ok?how to reduce inventory?
3)how to improve our planning?
we are on 11i and discrete mfg.
thank you.

1)Does Item Lead time setups play a role in MRP?If Lead time setup is blank for all items,,does MRP work efficiently?
Lead times do play an important role in MRP. If lead times are blank, MRP will assume that all items can be procured / made in no time at all. The recommendations you get in MRP will be based on this incorrect assumption.
2)We just use MRP..not using any other inv rep. techniques like Min - Max etc.Our inventory is 3/4 times more than our monthsly revenues?exmaple our one month shipments are like 1 Mil.our inventory is like 4 Mil..Is it ok?how to reduce inventory?
Some companies have 52 inventory turns a year; some companies have 2. You are somewhere in between.There is no way for us to tell if you have too much inventory or too little. It highly depends on the industry you are in and on your business model. The best way is to compare yourself with other companies in the same market segment.
Inventory reduction is an art; not science. You can start looking at your excess and obsolete inventory and identifying patterns that lead to perceived excess. You can start looking at procurement practices. You can start analyzing MRP recommendations and acting upon them as required.
3)how to improve our planning?
You need to define what you mean by "improve". Oracle MRP is but a tool to improve planning. You need to implement a proper S&OP process to improve the planning component. You need to have a good review of your processes to "improve planning".
Sorry this is nebulous and may not help, but your question is quite generic.

Production in SAP B1

Expertz...
What are the exact steps in SBO production module to be follwed?

Hi,
Use the SAP Business One Production module to create and maintain the following:
Bill of Materials (BOMs) - specifies the quantities of components that make up a product.
Production Orders - a set of instructions for planning and assembling a production item. It tracks all the material transactions and costs involved in the production process, as well as additional costs, such as labor overhead.
SAP Business One supports the following types of production orders:
Standard - used for regular production. Components are copied from the item BOM.
Special - used to produce items or perform activities on the shop floor that are not based on the Standard BOM.
Disassembly - used to report the disassembly of an item with a production BOM. Components are copied from the item BOM.
A finished product may be the result of an entire production process, or a collection of items that are sold as a unit, but are not the output of a production or assembly process.
Production Order Process
Issue a production order.
By default the order opens with Planned status.
Create production orders either automatically from MRP Recommendations, or manually according to Sales Orders.
An authorized staff member changes the status of the production order to Release.
Once released, the production order is available to shop floor staff.
Release the child items (with a manual issue method) from inventory using the Issue for Production method.
Child items with a backflush issue method are issued automatically for the production order.
Report the completion of the parent item in the Receipt from Production Window.
Change the production order status to Closed.
You can do this at any time after the production order is set to Release, even if the planned quantity of the parent item has not been produced.
Result
The finished product (parent item) is created. The inventory is updated for the finished product and for the child items.

Incorrect Order Multiples?

Hi All,
In the Item Master Data/Planning Tab and Order Multiple field, I am entering 1000 for an item who's procurement method is make. In short my purpose is to get recommendations for production order through MRP for this item in multiples of 1000 units. But MRP recommendations are not according to the order multiple. i.e. it purely based on forecast qty, if forecast qty is 1300, recommendation will be 1300. But when I test my scenario for a purchased item, recommendations come in exact multiples of the numeric value defined in the Order multiple field. Kindly anyone tell me why it is happening like this.

Hello,
I am sure the second is correct, I mean the order multiple is set to be used to a purchased item, since from the help files stated that.
Rgds,
