Hi,
The basic difference between LP and LPA is the way that the schedules are communicated to the vendor.
for more clarity please refer the blow links.

MRP Strategies that work well with schedule agreements

Hello Experts, We are having a disucsion on using schedule agreements with our consignment process. What MRP Types and lot size keys work with scheduling agreements? One of our managers insists on using reorder point, and everything I have read seems to lead towards deterministic prodeure PD, and an exact lot size. I was hoping you could provide a proven strategy or tips.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

Hello, Thank you both for your quick replies. Our company strategy is a reorder point strategy, that we force our vendors to read off of a web page, but the settings in the system are PD, and usually a 4 week lot size. The MRP data is dumped to the same web page as the reorder point information. It is expected that our vendor is managing the inventory. We also use a PO for the year parked at the end of the year for the entire supply. This method does not allows us to measure the vendor performance.
We are currently have new proposal to use contracts and Kanbans with MRP. Where MRP is used for forecast information and Kanban controls the replenishment by sending a replenishment order to the vendor. This will give us a consumption based process, that can be measured.
The other proposal is to use a schedule agreement with the same reorder point strategy. This is why I asked my question. I don't think that the reorder point strategy works with this type of order. From my understanding the scheduling agreement controls the delivery of the incoming material based on forecast and real demand. Is my understanding correct?
The ulitimate goal is to have a system that provides our material on-time when it is needed. Easy for our vendors, and so we can measure the vendor against. On time delivey and stock outs.

Hi,
When you create a stock transport scheduling agreement, you can schedule the exact delivery dates for a stock transfer. Proceed as follows:
From the Purchasing menu, choose Outline agreement -> Scheduling agreement -> Create trnspt sch.agm. ME37
Fill out the initial screen. In the field Supplying plant enter the plant issuing the material. The agreement type LU is defined in the standard system. The item category must be U.
When you press ENTER, the details screen for the header data is displayed.
Enter the validity period and check the other entries on this screen, if necessary.
Enter the individual items in the item overview screen. Enter a receiving plant for each item in the Plant field.
Save the scheduling agreement.
Enter delivery schedules for the scheduling agreement with the function Outline agreement ->Scheduling agreement -> Follow-on functions -> Delivery schedule.
For configurations
Go into SPRO
Menu path is
IMG -> MM -> Purchasing -> Scheduling agreement -> Set up stock transfer scheduling agreement
A) Define shipping data for plants
B) Create and define checking rule
C) Assign delivery type and checking rule
D) Assign Document type

Planned Delivery time not considered after MRP run for scheduling

Dear All,
After running MRP, the planned delivery time maintained in Purchase info record is not taken into consideration for calculating start date of the schedule line of externally procured material generated by the system.
Planned delivery time is 3 days & Requirement of parent material falls on 15/02/2010. With this, system should calculate the start date for schedule line as on 12/02/2010 considering 3 days Planned Delivery time.
Any idea as to what might have gone wrong?
thx for your help in advance.
Rgds,
Ranjeet

Hi,
Determination of PLD from the Purchase info record is maintained in transaction code:OMDT. Planned Delivery time is also maintained in Scheduling agreement. However, it is not calculating delivery date as well as release date.

Dear guru's,
I maintained source list with 3 Schedule agreements with 3 different vendors, MRP indicator as 2, in Material master Quota as 4, and maintained Quota.

can u any one help me in this
vinay

Hi,
In the source list have you put a 2 as MRP indicator for all the scheduling agreements in the source list.
Also please make sure that the fixing indicator is not set in the source list.
Can you also check the if the validity period for all scheduling agreements and source list entries are correct.

MRP Run error " Schedule Lines not generating properly"

Hi Folks,
I am facing a typical issue with MRP Run.
Every time when I am running the MRP for a particular material I have made settings such that Schedule lines to be generated by maintaining the Source list and MRP relevancy as 2 in source list. Also I have fixed the vendor. Now my problem is I am getting Schedule lines for first run and Combination of Purchase requests and Schedule lines or only PRs for the next MRP run.. This is keep on repeating in such as way that the planning is shifting as said above for subsequent MRP Run.
Note that the initial settings during MD02 remain same for all run.
I want only schedule lines to be generated but not PR.
Pls advise and provide input where the wrong might be.
Quick responce would be appreciated.
Regards
Shash

Dear shash,
Check with What are the MRP control Parameters values which you are using for the MRP run.
In MD02, For Deleivery schedules run with value 3 - That's - Schedule lines.
The other options are 1 No schedule lines
2 Schedule lines in the opening period.
check with this & revert back.

MRP run with lot size as per prod. version and capacity levelling

Dear PP experts,
Hi, We are working with strategy 10. For SFG and FG produced inhouse we have created BOM and recipe with production version.
For example:
I have a production version with batch size as 100 Kg.
I load PIR for 500 Kg in MD61.
I have maintained lot size as EX in the material master but I have not defined mini. and max. lot size.
Is it possible during the MRP to consider the production version batch size if the mini. and max. lot size is not maintained in the system and create 5 Planned Order of 100 Kg each.
I know, how it can be done by using lot size in material master or by maintaining schedule lines in MD61 or by maintaining quota. But if nothing is maintained is it possible for the system to create 5 Planned orders as per the production version batch size.
Pl. check if this is possible and revert back.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi
No, system will not consider the size that maintained in the production version for the creation of planned order while the mrp run .
This lost size is used to validate the bom/ routing combiation for the particular pv of the material

MRP Run with User Exit key for Follow up material

Dear Gurus,
I want to run MRP only for followup materials by using User exit key. For example i have a material X(with discontinued Indicator as 1) and it's follow material is Y.
So we have a user exit key as ZFL, with coding as shown below. Now when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL and parametre as 1, it only runs MRP for material X and not for material Y. What else we need to do so that when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL, it shoudl consider both X and Y.
WHEN 'ZFL'.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB5 OCCURS 0,
KZAUS LIKE MT61D-KZAUS,
END OF ITAB5.
TRANSLATE USER_PAR TO UPPER CASE.
SPLIT USER_PAR AT ',' INTO TABLE ITAB5.
IF ITAB5[] IS INITIAL.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CLEAR: NO_PLANNING, STOP_PLANNING.
READ TABLE ITAB5 WITH KEY KZAUS = MT61D-KZAUS.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Hi Kumar,
You can use either MRP Type, MRP Controller, MRP Group in this user exit to control the MRP run. For these set of Materials you have to assign any of same value or at least differentiate these material from other material. Then only you can control the MRP by using this user exit even though if you use different MRP Group and MRP Controller. In User Exit, you may have to add your dependent material's MRP Group/MRP Controller. Make sure that these set of materials are different than all other materials.
If you don't have any plan to run MRP for other materials then as per Ajit suggestion you make that material's MRP type as "ND". But, in your business case they may want to activate the MRP for all the material not now but may be latter.
Thanks

Issue with Scheduling agreements created with reference to Contract

We create scheduling agreements only with reference to contracts. A contract may have multiple Scheduling agreements linked to it. Now the problem is that when a scheduling agreement is being modified, it is creating a lock to all the other scheduling agreements which refers to the same contract. So till the time the user is out of change mode in Scheduling agreement, no other user is able to perform any transactions pertaining to other scheduling agreements (referring to the same Contract)
Is there anyway that we can address this?? Please suggest.

The record locks are needed to avoid data inconsistencies. If 2 users would be able to have the same document open in update mode, then how can you decide which entry will be used for a table update? And what would you tell the other person? (Oh sorry, another user was quicker, please start all over again)
In some high frequent transactions SAP has developed some options like late locks for good movements, but more often you have to take organization measures like educating the users, and maybe reducing the number of items in a document and creating more documents instead.
If it is a real big headache then you have to talk to SAP, have to explain the situation, and hope that they either have already a solution or even realize that it is not needed to lock all and can create a solution per OSS note.

MRP run with MDBT

Hi all,
I'm facing a typcial problem
In MDBT -processing key is maintained as NETPL
There are 3 materials say
1.A
2.B
3.C
For all three materials NETCH is marked in the planning file entry & NETPL is blank in MD21
When i go for MRP run via MDBT then no proposal is raised for A & B,where as for C i'm getting a proposal
All three has requirement -Exected result is Planned order
Initially i thought NETPL is not active in MD21 & that is the reason i'm not getting any proposal
but i'm shocked to see proposal for material C
MRP is run with processing NETPL
Will the material marked for NETCH also be included in the run or only those materials which are marked for NETPL only will be included ?
If yes for 1st question then i feel there is a logical difference
If yes for 2nd question then why should i get proposal for material C?
Please clarify me

Hi Vishal,
Thanks for pointing out user exit key,i didnt noticed that,In one the variants user exit key is maintained ,MRP controller selection (CTL)
& user exit paramter also is maintained as 100 in one variant & in another as 001-099,101-500
How is this normally defined?What doen tis mean
In first case(100) does it mean that run only for thos matrials which have MRP controller as "100"
In second case rund for all materials with MRp controller (001-0990 & 101 to 500 I'm not usre on this
If yes pls let me know where we define this whole thing
Like MRP controller selection is defined as CTL -but what does it mean,where are the actual conidtions written
Very basic question may be but i'm not aware fo this,pls let me know
Once again thanks a lot for giving the lead
