MRP run including Alternative BOM & Routing in sequence.

Dear Experts,
My client has maintained alternative BOM & Routing for there In house production materials.He wants to execute MRP run which can include all BOM's & Routing in sequence. Like, first MRP run should check material requirements as per first alternative followed with second & third alternatives.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Dear Rajesh,
ur req is not possible in that way. coz MRP run select only one PV or BOM and routing at a time and if stock is not available then it will genrate the req.
You can try with this rather craeating an alteranative BOM create alternative group of material so when u run the MRP system will check the stock of first matrial and if short fall is there it will go for next.

Split valuation type pick up in MRP run according to BOM

Dear experts,
We are starting to use split valuation scenario. Initially we have customize split valuation as standard i.e.
1) Creation of valuation type
2) Creation of valuation category
3) Assignment of cat. and type.
4) Local definition.
5) Assignment of valuation category in material.
6) Extend material with valuation type.
What i have customized and tested is working fine. Recently our user have a requirement that, valuation type field should be available in BOM for their clear understanding. Accordingly we have enhance the BOM screen and added valuation type to be choose by user during BOM creation. exit used PCSD0002.
Now here is issue.-
I have parent X and its child Y with valuation type SKF, BOSCH and NRB. I have fixed/specify valuation type BOSCH in BOM. If we run MRP for the parent, system should have to create purchase requisition for child with only specified valuation type in BOM i.e. with BOSCH in this case.
Note - We cant use default proc. valuation type in customization as customer requirement is frequently changes also user specified that, system must have to select valuation type specified in BOM and create proposals accordingly both for PIR and dependent requirement.
Please suggest.
With best regards,
Manish K. Bachate

Hi
You would be very much able to valuate both the stocks separately with what I have recommended
But, with what you are doing, you wont be able to... Reason being, once you release std cost for the externally procured item, say, 5 USD... It will keep on valuating the item at 5 USD only.. Any price other than 5 invoiced by the vendor would hit the Price diff account OR you will have to revise your std cost every time the vendor changes his price
Ideal way would be to keep price control V in the valuation type "External Proc"... With this, you dont need to release std cost for it and also it would valuate the stock at whatever price supplied by the vendor.. Whether 5 or 6 USD
> To summarize, what I am recommending is this
> 1. Your material in this case will have 3 accounting view... [One parent view and One view for IN HOUSE and one for "External Proc"
> 2. Parent view will have Price control V, IN HOUSE will have S and External Proc has V
> 3. In IMG settings for split valuation, earmark IN HOUSE for internal proc and External Proc for purchase
With this
1. Your IN HOUSE stock will be valuated at std cost released by CK24
2. Your External Proc stock will be valuated at the price supplied by the vendor
Hope this helps!!

Sample production run without bom,routing

at our client place we have a scenario where we will run sample production (before real production run) without creating bom/routing for the material...
someone suggested we use finance internal order and then post the material documents in migo against that internal order and labor costs in kb21n..
is this the only easiest way for this kind of scenario? or do you have any other ideas?

Hi Swatghi Rege,
You can create a production order without Routing and without BOM by creating a new order type.
To be able to create an order without Routing: Change the Config in OPL8 ( order type dependent parameters) as routing optional.
To be able to create the Order without the BOM you will need to:
- Configure a new BOM Application. This can be done in tcode OS30.
- Create a BOM ID in T-code OS31 with BOM Usage as Production.
- Assign this BOM ID in BOM Application.
- In the ID maintain a BOM alone without any items.
- Finally in OPL8, you need to assign the new BOM Application for your Order type.

Alternative BOM problem in MRP run

Hello Experts,
We have two BOM for one material.Now I want to use BOM-1 for MRP run & BOM-2 for subcontracting.I have maintined following settings.
1) Production version.
2) BOM explosion selection method in MRP4 -2
3) Assign PV in inforecord for subcontracting.
4) Assign PV in MD61 in schedule line .
But when I run MRP it still consider subcontracting BOM.Have I missed any setting?
Kindly guide.Thanks you.

Hi, Follow the below process,
1.Enter the BOM selection method as 2 in the MRP4 view of the material master.
2.In case if you have not assigned the production version in MD61 against the PIR's under schedule line
tab key (in the top menu click on settings and prod version ,then you can assign the prod version which
you need to pick during the MRP run),the system always picksup the first production version during
MRP run even if all the prod versions contains the same validity dates and lot sizes.
3.If you are not willing to assign the prod version in MD61 ,but the system should consider the second
prod version for MRP run means,then set the locked status for the first prod.version.
4.When run MRP via MD02 or MD50 in the simulation mode.(i.e w/o giving tick in simulation mode).
Click on Save,You will get a pop screen,
Now click on the continue icon, Then go to Plaining Results: Individual lines screen.where you will get Plan order on which when double click you will get pop screen below,where you have Planned order no,quantity,plant,storage location,and version.
Now here you can select the required version,and it will become firmed. This BOM will be used in the order now. Try it.

Alternative bom and routing selection in planned order

hi
how i can config the system so that while creating planned order
system has to select the alteranative SEQUENCE and alternative routing ?
at opl8 we do this for production orders what about the planned oreders
in scheduling parameters of planned orders we can give only selection ID
WHAT about alternative SEQUENCE .
IN the same way how the system selects the alternative BOM with date in planned order
iam not creating production versions
plz suggest
sasikanth

Hi,
If you r using Prod Version then system pick ups the BOM attached in first valid production version.
So, normally put more frequently used BOM in your first Prod Version.
You have more options to use:
- lot size (defined in BOM header)
- production version (several option you have: lot size, manually assign a PV to a planned order)
- you can use explosion date (OPPP, Logistcs > Production > MRP > Master Data > BOM by date)
MRP 4 (in material master) > 'BOM explosion/dependent requirement' tab > you can set selection method according to your wish.

BOM selection during MRP running

Hi,
   I have a question about BOM selection during MRP running...
   I have three production version and all of them are valid at the same time..I get a problem "no BOM data seletion" during MRP
running..I suspect it is due to that I have three production version and MRP didn't know take which one..Can anyone tell me
where can i config it or what's wrong with it in my situation?
   btw,BOM usage and stats are correct .so is the router data..since MRP is running well if i only have one PV..thanks..

Hi Monst,
Looking at the screenshots you uploaded, it seems that the validity of each of the production version is from 7.12.2011 to 1.12.2012.
Please check whether for Planned order no. 36659 alternative BOM no. 1 is getting selected (Since BOM selection ID is 2).
For planned order nos. 36660, 36661 and 36662, the start date is perhaps before 7.12.2011 and end date as we can see lies in the validity period of production version. Hence, neither of the alternatives of the BOM is getting selected.
For verifying the above logic, please make the BOM selection method as 3 (selection only by production version) and run the MRP. I think MRP will get terminated in this case since no BOM will be chosen for first planned order.
Just in case u need to select the BOM for planned orders, you can manually enter the production version no. in the planned order change mode.
Please tell if this helps and revert back.

Chetan.

Copy BOM Component Characteristic value in material PR created by MRP Run

Dear Gurus,
My requirement is I have materials like thread to maintain color characteristic i have create class - color- class type is 023 , now i want user should able to maintain characteristic value in BOM component (thread) of semifinish material. FG , SFG are not having any characteristic.
Now in PR and PO we can maintain characteristic value in Material Data --->Configuration tab , Configuration tab will come only when there is tick in material is configurable at material basic data 2 view of thread and in CU41 I have to maintain material for class type 300 - Variant , then in class assignment i have select class type 300 and 023 both and maintain class , both are having same characteristic please make me correct if i am doing wrong process, if i am not maintaining class assignment 300 in CU41, in manual PO system not allowing to enter characteristic value in configuration tab . so i maintain both class assignment 300 and 023.
Now for manual PR and PO system showing configuration tab and from PO configuration tab characteristic value is coming in MIGO automatically but when i am running MRP for finish material the auto PR generated by system for material thread is not showing configuration tab in Material Data of PR. I have maintain characteristic value in BOM --->Extra--->Batch Classification. Please guide me how to archive this.
Thanks & Regards
Akshay.

Akshay kukde,
Still i am unable to understand the reason for maintaining a characterstic value for a batch through BOM, I hope you are not changing BOM for every purchase order ?
can you explain what you expect by maintaing this one value for batch characterstic?
you can have many other simple option like
1) Create a material with colour included in it ex, Thread_red, Thread _green etc and use them in BOM
2) Use text in BOM to hold this discription for colour
3) Use batch management, class 023 in material master classification , defalut value for colour, purchase order will be created and while doing GR you can change in colur if its different then default you set earlier.
Akshay kukde wrote:
if i am creating PR Manually -ME51N , system showing configuration tab , where i can maintain characteristic value , which then reflecting in PO and from PO to MIGO
The above scenario I have tried by maintaining class type 023 and same characteristic in material Master. but result is same for auto generate PR by MRP- configuration tab is missing.
My requirement in this case is characteristic value should flow from BOM to PR generated by MRP.
when you manualy create PR you Thread material is consider to be a configurable material and thats why you are able to input configuration value, otherwise as soon as you put this configurable material inside a BOM of normal materila it loost its configuration feature, if you want you can create your parent material also as configurable material, assign same class to it and create configuration profile and take MRP run this time you will get PR with configuration tab as your thread get configuration derived from parent.
Hope above details may help you.
Check and reply, also mark replies helpful if it helps you.

MRP RUN- KIT BOM explosion not working

We setup one layer BOM’s for our maintenance KITs as parent material and components as child material. For example KIT is TS10000-K1 and components are TS10001, TS10002 etc setup as next layer with in the BOM. Both KITS and components are defined as material types ERSA (Spare parts). These one layers BOMs are setup as production BOMs and expected to create purchase requisitions for KITS and components by exploding BOMs during MRP runs. We use purchase requisitions and convert them into POs to procure both KITS and components. We DO NOT USE Panned orders and Production orders.
The safety stocks / reorder point are considered as demand for KITS and components as we do not have any external demand for KITS and components.
MRP run is creating purchase requisitions automatically for both KITS and components as per safety stocks and reorder point defined in MRP Views of Material Master. This is working as expected.
The issue is: KIT BOM’s are not exploding to generate purchase requisitions for the dependent components of KIT BOM. Please suggest the way to resolve this issue.
Split valuation: Also we plan to use split valued KITS with both new and refurbished. So we need BOM explosion for split valued KITS
also (after the 1st issue is resolved).
I verified the following items to make sure the required configuration and data setup is defined correctly.
1) Planning file activated Plant - OMDU
2) Executed MRP run with Total Planning - MDBT and MD02 (single item, multiple levels)
3) BOM explosion for MRP activated- OS23
4) MRP type in MRP1 view- PD and VB (I tried both separately but BOM is not exploding).
5) Procurement type “F” (MRP 2 view) and lot size “EX”
6) Planning strategy in MRP 3 view (tested w/o planning strategy and with strategies 10 and 40. But BOM is not exploded)
7) BOM status and usage (status is active and usage is for production-CS02 and OS20)
8) BOM Validity date (Valid)
9) BOM structure in CS12 (BOM is exploding in CS11)
10) Availability check
11) Selection of BON ID to have BOM usage indicator assign (OS31).
12) No alternate BOMs or production versions or work scheduling view are used.
Please review the above 2 issues and suggest any workable solution. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I extensively used MRP with multi-level BOM explosion in my earlier projects without any issue. However the above issue is a bit strange why one layer BOM is not exploded in this case.
Regards
Srini

Hi
Thanks for your response. I reviewed all SAP notes and none of them are applicable to my scenario.
1808396 - BOM changes not considered by MRP: I have not changed BOMs.
1781324 - MD11: Valid BOM alternative is not found. We do not have alternative BOMs.
1791009 - No BOM explosion after changing production version: We am not using production versions.
Our Material KITS are PM spare assemblies set up as BOMs and consists of individual spare parts as components. We are creating purchase requisitions and not planned orders. We are not using PP functionality/Production orders.
MRP is generating purchase requisitions for KITS and components as per ROP and safety stocks. In other words it is working as expected. The issue is BOMs which are parent assemblies are not exploding to the next lower level components.
Please note that I am not getting any error messages when MRP is executed.

Srini.

Alternative items during MRP run

Hi,
I have seen discussion on alternative items in BOM. Thanks for all for sharing your knowledge. I knew alternative items will be choosen while creating / release of production order (material availability check)
Requirement:
For material A, I am using component B as priority 1 and component C as priority 2.
During MRP run, system needs to CHECK component B first. If stock is not available for component B then system need to consider component C automatically. It should not create any planned order for component B.
Is it possible, system will check automatically alternate items during MRP run? if so kindly let me know the logic.
If not, is there is any user exit. Customer is asking this facility. Its his basic requirement.
Kindly give your suggestions....
Regards / US

Hi.
I might have typed it wrong, I think the right one is called DIMP.
As far as I know you don't have to purchase it. In the past those extensions were known as Industry Solutions, in this case Automotive and A&D.
Before you go to this complexity for interchangeable materials functionality in MRP, I recommend that you have a design review with your customer, to strengthen the point that if two materials are the same for all usage purposes, but only differ, let's say, in the source (different manufacturer). for that in SAP we would define ONLY ONE material number, with additional manufacturer part number info, and in some cases with a classified batch.

If we use alternvative BOM, How could we do backflush or MRP running?

Hi Experts
If we plan to create two parts, and setup it in BOM as alternative parts.How SAP do the backflush or run requirements for it? Will it consume each parts qty?
Since in stock , there will be two parts stock qty onhand.
Thanks
Alice

Hi jagadish
Thanks a lot ,
one concern is , we first add B as A part follow -up material . if we don't set the valid date, that means when A part is used up, it will move dependent requirement for B ,right?
Before that, A will still have dependent requirements, we will still place po and receipt it. So how A could be used up? How B could be trigger out PO? according to the puchase lead time, our process is we have to start to buy B part when we decide to obsolote A part. But since A still have qty onhand, and in BOM its priority as 1, B could not be triiger out requiremnts?
So if we set valid date for follow up mateiral , that means when A has stock, from that day, MRP will only consider B requirements ,right, even though we set priority 1 for A in BOM? In bom we set A part as priority 1 and usaging 100%, when we do backflush , it will consume A part , when A is used up , System will trigger production order with B matieral automatically ,right? No need to change the priority for the alternative bom? even though part A proirity as 1
( actually, we just buy B part, for backlfush we need use A up first )
Thanks

In MRP Run for FERT, i want to eliminate 3rd level HALB and their BOM compo

Hi All,
Can you please guide me on this issue please.
Regarding - In MRP Run for FERT, i want to eliminate 3rd level HALB and their BOM components for exploration and planning
My scenario is:
Level 1: FERT1
Level 2: HALB1.1 + ROH1.1 + VERP1.1
Level 3: HALB1.1.1 + ROH1.1.1
Level 4: ROH 1.1.1.1 + ROH1.1.1.2
While performing MRP run i dont want to include the material HALB1.1.1 (Level 3 component) and their corresponding BOM component (ROH 1.1.1.1 + ROH1.1.1.2)
My constraint:
The reason for this is HALB1.1.1 is being manufactured through REM profile with separate PIR and MRP run.
But it is being consumed in FERT1 through intermediate semi-finished HALB1.1. and it needs to include for Product costing.
Note: All materials have been marked as PD - MRP type
Would be a great help from you.
Thanks and Regards

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.
Thanks & Regards,

Materials planning for Recursive BOM during MRP run

SAP Guru's,
We developed an recursive BOM as per production requirments , but we didn't know the impact of this recursive BOM during MRP run.
Pls help us how to recursive bom behaves during MRP.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh Babu.S

Hi,
This message was sent to us by SAP when we were having the same kind of requirement. Hope it will help you too.
Usage Probability
Material requirements planning (MRP) plans the alternative items according to usage probability.
If you use the usage probability to determine the withdrawal posting (strategy 1), the quantities are proposed according to the usage probability. You can change the proposed quantities.
An alternative item is only planned if the usage probability is at least 1%.
If the usage probability is 0%, a dependent requirement with quantity
0 is generated for the material.
The component with the quantity 0 is displayed in the planned order.
If required you can increase the quantity there.
It is possible to plan too much for alternative items, because you can enter usage probabilities that add up to more than 100%.
Hope it will help you.

Alok Tiwari

Alternae BOM during MRP RUN

Dear PP Gurus,
I have a finished product for which there are 2 bom, When I run MRP for this finished product , which BOM system will consider? Is there anyway by which i can deicde which BOM it should consider?
Please help.
Thanks

Dear,
If a product contains more than one alternative BOM,try to mention this by creating different prod.versions.
You can assigne the production version in MD61 against the PIR's under schedule line tab key (in the top menu click on settings and prod version ,then you can assign the prod version which you need to pick during the MRP run),
Also selection method is maintained in Material master MRP4 view.whether the BOM needs to be selected through BOM Qty. Explosion date or Production version....
Or use BAdI MD_MODIFY_PRODVERS.
Also refer this thread,
alternative BOM selection in MRP run

MRP of alternative bom

Hi gurus,
how can i ensure explosion of desired alternative BOM during MRP run? Setting of BOM explosion strategy by production version is not helping. I am using mySAP ECC 6.0
Thanks and regards
Abhik

Hello Abhik,
You have more options. You can use:
- lot size (defined in BOM header)
- production version (several option you have: lot size, manually assign a PV to a planned order) - it was mentioned by you
- you can use explosion date (OPPP, Logistcs > Production > MRP > Master Data > BOM by date)
MRP 4 (in material master) > 'BOM explosion/dependent requirement' tab > you can set selection method according to your wish.
