Difference between To maintain and initial in plant parameters in MRP custo
Hi, Gurus,
Can anyone explain me about the difference between status showing
to maintain and initial in plant parameters in MRP customization
Thanks & Regards
sathyanarayanaDear Sathyanarayana,
In T code OPPQ - Maintain Plant Parameters,it does not
mean we have to maintain a value in all the parameters
present under different tab keys.
IF you check generally MRP controllers,Floats,Number
Ranges,BOM/Routing Selection,Planning horizon,Available
stock these values will be maintained.
Some of the settings like Start in Past will be as Initial(not
allowed in the past).
IF you use some special procurement key,then that settings
has to be maintained.
I hope this will help you.

Dear Sir,
What are MRP plant parameters?Pl.Explain in details?
Points will be rewarded......Hi,
The In this step, you can maintain all the plant parameters
1.Environment : Here you define the number ranges and the Backorder checking rule.
2.Master data: Like mrp controller,Speical procurment type and the Float - scheduling marging key can be configureed here
3.Conversion of planned order to productin order /Purchase requistion can be configure here
4. Planning urn : the selection of BOM ,Bom explosion,available stock etc and lot more can be configured here
Even though we have separate areas where we can define each of them separately here we can define most of the mRP related to single plant can be configured at this one.
Kindly let us know if this solves your query or if you are looking for anyother thing.

Difference between MRP group and plant parameters
hai friends,
please let me know, what is the main difference between the MRP group and plant parameters?,
what are the extra activities or features with one, when compare to the other?.
Edited by: Mourya.v on Sep 22, 2010 6:36 AMDear Mourya,
Why to assign MRP group? - If planning for each plant is not specific enough for your purposes and you would like to assign
control parameters that differ from the control parameters defined for the plant to certain material groups.
1.For all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters that is the settings present in OPPQ, or the
entries in the initial screen of the planning run.
2.For all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group that is the settings in OPPR.
3.The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of
materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want
to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are
defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen).
4.The MRP group, groups material from the material requirements planning point of view to allocate them control parameters for
planning.The control parameters include the strategy group, the planning horizon and the creation indicator for the planning run.

MRP element direct procurement
Hi
For the FG used strategy 10 no special procurement key..MRP type:PD
For the RM MRP type PD, MRP4 view Ind/collective indicator 2 maintained.
After running MRP for rawmaterials Purchase requisation are creating with out consideraing the stock as "Direct procurement" MRP element.
I checked in OPPQ maintained indicator as 3.
What are the possible reasons. we dont want to create PR as per direct procuremet we want collective.
Regards,
srihari.MHi,
Check the BOM for the FG material if any SPK is maintained in BOM. IN MD04 put the cursor on PR generated and click on Pegged Requiremnt Button, this will give you the osurce from where the direct requirement has been generated and analyse further from that point.
Check and Revert,

Rounding value for direct procurement
Hi,
I an sourcing the same material from another plant within the same client. The materiale is some times purchased as a standard material using rounding value and going to stock. But, in some cases the material is procured as direct procurement. When purchasing for direct procurement will it then be possible not to use the rounding value but just order the exact quantity?
thanks,
AndersHi Andres,
I think, you do not need to take any action on this requirement. SAP works the way you wanted, by standard. For example, you have a setup with a vendor (may be via info record or material master itself may have rounding qty etc)...not a problem. The parameters you use in material master will control for procurement process either triggered from planning (or production ) or manual purchases. When you create a SO# and if it triggers a purchase requisition, it sends exact quantity required only, into the preqs. By standard SAP config, the message about rounding rules is just warning. I don't think you will be stuck with this message when you try to convert the 3rd party Preq to PO. Even if there is a message, it must just warning.
Let me know with these inputs, if you test both types of PO#s, how it goes.

Field selection for plant parameters
In plant parameters - in external procurement tab-i want to change field selection for Account assignment for non valuated materials field to optional,.Presently it is required field

Go to SPRO>Production>Material Requirements Planning>Plant Parameters> Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters and execute. (Transcation OPPQ)
Select Maintain and give the plant
Select External procurement Tab and select Unknown account assignment.
But, you need account assignment for non-valuated material for external procurement.
Hope it solves your issue.

Direct Procurement for BOM component
Hi there,
If we want to use direct procurement for BOM component then where do we set the indicatior in BOM. I am not able to find the same in BOM.........??
Please advice me ....
Regards
KaushikHi Kaushik,
Maintain Direct Procurment is OPPQ-Plant paramaters. Here you specify whether the direct procurement is triggered by the Planning Run or the MRP.
And also maintain a key for Special procurement Direct Procurement in OPPQ.
Please assign Special Procurement Key as Direct procurement is MRP-2 view of material master.
Thanks and regards

hi
everybody
plz. tell me
wat is mean by plant parameters
whrer we maintain it
wat functions or values we maintain for this
wat it effects in SAP
where we use it
give details
thanks in advancePlant parameters carries important control parameters during MRP run
when you convert planned order into a prod order, the order type is copied from the plant parameters (oppq>>planned order coversions)
During MRP run ( if MRP run type is NETPL - Net Change Planning with Plannign Horizon), the planning horizon period
is defined in the Plant Parameters (OPPQ>>Planning Run>> Planning Horizon)
If Order start date is in the past, the system automatic does forward scheduling. In some scenarios if its ok to
have order start date in the past then you make setting over here (OPPQ>>Planning Run>> order start in the past)
Like wise, Special Procurements key from issuing plant are maintained in the plant parameters
SMK is also maintained in the plant parameters
Under the setting of Available stock, what type of stock you consider as Available stock ( like Stock in Transfer, Blockedd Stock, Restricted Use Stock) is considered as
available stock
The plant parameters are maintained in OPPQ
Also, Before maintaining MRP plant parameters, you need to activiate MRP for the respective plant in OMDU -
Which movement type to show Directly Procured material in stock?
Hi All
Is there another movement type that I can use to reverse from a network, Directly Procured material in to stock?
Our issue is that we plan and have delivered directly procured material to out production plant (Plant A) and the PO has an account assignment of 'N'. The production team then decide (due to unforseen issues) that they do not need it anymore for that network/WBS and want to send it to our central warehouse (Plant B)
In order to recover the cost from the network, we process MB1A mvt 222 with reference to the WBS in Plant A and then stock transfer to our central warehouse, Plant B
My question is....can we use another movement type to remove the cost from the project/network/WBS and return the material in to stock?
I don't want to reverse the PO but can i use that as a reference?
Your help is appreciated
Regards
DarrenMB1A transaction is a goods issue
goods issues are valuated with the material master valuation price.
in goods issues you cannot reference purchase orders (this is only possible in receipts)
there is no goods receipt transaction for material which was already received against a PO.
You credit the network with the leading price from material master, there is no value flow in the opposite direction. But you can control the valuation if you allow external value entry in the movement, which is usually not liked by auditors, especially as such movements are executed by warehouse personnel -
Directly procured materials in stock help
To All
We currently have a problem when dealing with directly procured materials.
Following a completed build of our product we have a surplus of directly proceured materials that have been ordered in error or are a result of specification changes.
We want to re-use them for future demand. Therefore, we return them from a network and put into our warehouse and in a bin. The problem arises when the planners create a new demand because the material master data will order the part as a directly procured part and will 'not see' the one we are showing in stock.
Therefore, my questions is, can a part be set up to look for stock initially and if no stock then order part as a directly procured part?
Thanks in advance
DarrenSaleel
The material IS in stock showing in the same Plant, Sloc and Warehouse that the planners use to plan the completed product.
The material is in stock as it has been returned from the network (MB1A mvt 222) However, the material is planned in a BoM as a directly procured part as per the material master settings. When a new demand is loaded in the system, according to the material master settings it will order a directly procured part and not utilise the stock in the warehouse.
I am looking for help that when a demand is loaded, SAP will reserve the stock of a directly procured part and not order externally.
Movement 561 is an initial stock load movement type and is not recommended at any other time due to the lack of financial documents albeit a very easy way to load inventory. We use LICC/LX16 to adjust inventory in accordance with auditing rules.
Thanks you for your response

Planning Horizon & Direct procurement
Hi, how touse the tabs planning horizon & direct procurement in oppr screen while running mrp?
Hi Yadav
The Settings of
1) Planning Horizon in OPPR is meant for using Processing key - -NETPL (Net change for planning horizon) during MRP run : If u maintain the data say 100 days in this field that mean only those materials are planned in the planning run that have a change relevant to MRP within the period (in work days).The length of the planning horizon should at least include the following:
period in which customer orders enter
delivery times
complete material processing time
This setting is useful to restrict u r planning Horizon length to defined no of days say 100 days
2) Direct Procurement : The setting controls whether direct procurement is initiated by the planning run or by the production order.Using this indicator, you can procure non-stock items directly for an order, bypassing the warehouse.Direct procurement for "parts to be provided" is not supported in subcontracting.
U have to use Special Procurement key in Material master

Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS
Hi,
Can you diffrentiate between Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS.
thanks
AkiHi Aki,
Direct Procurement
Raw Material and Production Goods
Order Qty: Large
Value: Industry specific (Like shirt in apparel industry)
Direct procurement supports the conversion of planned requirements to purchase orders.
Primary Processes-Direct Procurement
1. Determination of the materials and services required.
2. Create requisition.
3. Request for the quotation.
4. Quotation Management.
5. Vendor selection.
6. Create Purchase Order.
7. Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
8. Invoice Verification/ Vendor Payment.
Indirect Procurement
Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies
Order Qty: Low
Value: Generic (Machine Spare Parts in any industry)
Indirect procurement supports the purchasing of indirect materials and subcontracting.
This process can be dealt with using standard functions such as material requirements planning, purchase requisition, stock transport order, transportation planning and the handling of internal deliveries.
The cross-plant, internal procurement of materials can be carried out within one company code (intercompany) or by using several company codes (cross company).
Primary Processes-Indirect Procurement
1. Requisitioning
2. Purchase Order Management
3. Receiving
4. Financial Settlement
Hope it helps.

Consequences of maintaining Plant Parameters
Dear All,
I would like to know that what could be the consequences for maintaing plant parameters under ' Inventory Mangement and Physical Iinventory ' for the plant which is copid from the existing plant for which plant parameters have not been maintained.
This is what SAP is saying (the extract is from spro implementation guide)
Plant Parameters
In this step, you make the general plant settings for
Inventory Management. All settings are also contained in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide for Inventory Management. If you want to allow negative stocks in your plant, you have to set the XBKNG indicator in addition to the settings in this step. To maintain this indicator, choose the step Goods Issue/Transfer Postings -> Allow Negative Stocks in Customizing.
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you do not make the plant settings here, but in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide, so that the settings here are not without a context. Dependent settings are not contained in this step.
Activities
If you have created a plant in the enterprise structure using the Copy plant function, you do not need to make any settings.
If you have created a plant manually, you have to create a new entry for the plant parameters.
What should I do? Should I go for it or not?
Thanks and regards,
Saleel KulkarniHi,
If you created a plant by copying the standard plant 1000 , the plant paramaters foe inventory management will automatically come to your newly created plant. N o need of creating parameters separately in inventory management. If you create the plant without copy function you have to maintain plant parameters. I hope this will help you. Thanking you.
