MRP types and procedures

Hi people!
I am new to this forum.
We are implementing SAP in our company now and I am responsible mainly for MRP.
I need to determine main features of SAP MRP types.
Unfortunately I found my SAP manuals and SAP help too vague.
I want to create a kind of table which would unify all existing information.
Like for example:
Planning type can be.... (CBP, independent requirement etc) -
In this planning type there can be the following MRP procedure (reorder planning with or without external requirements etc) ...
- In these MRP procedures how can be defined future requirements? (forecasts, trends, seasonal etc.) - How is Safety stock defined - Waht is the Lot size?
etc etc
Guys, if you know where I can find such a table in web please let me know so that I don't waste time.

Best MRP type and strategy to run MRP for component using PIR and forecast

Hi Experts,
I want to run MRP for Component parts. I need to run MRP based on Planned independent requirements and Forecast Data.
Which is the best suited MRP type and strategy.
Please help to share bestpractices if any. thank you.
Rayudu

Hi,
is the components you are talking are Semi finished materials or Raw materials and Packing materials which are procured from vendors ???....
It is not a good idea to maintain planning strategy for Components which are part of BOM...these materials are automatically planned when the header materials of these components are planned....
If these components are not part of any BOM then you can try the option of using forecast based planning.. MRP type VV and maintain the forecasting view in the material master
You can also explore the option of consumption based planning like manual or automatic reorder point planning...
Thanks

MRP Type and procurement type tabs in mmd

Hello Experts,
I was trying to check the MRP Type for a material master.
In MM01, I could not locate such a tab. I think I have seen it before.
I have entered most of the selection info like Material code etc.
Or is it that MRP type is not visible from material master?
What if its blank?
I check the MARC table for the material code and the MRP type is blank.
Also, in which tab can I maintain the procurement type? Could not find such a field in mmd.
Have a nice day everyone.
regards
Bass

Hi,
MRP type and Procurement type are under tab MRP 1 & MRP 2 respectively in material master.
Check MRP1/2/3/4 tabs all information you need is there.

Wrong output type and procedure

I have a problem when i choose the output type for my billing document it does not allow me to choose RD00 . Instead it give me a list of different output types which are listed in a different procedure under V3 application . I have defined my own procedure for RD00. How can i make sure that it chooses my procedure and output type and not someone else procedure and output type .
THANK YOU,
Alisha

Hi Alisha,
I think you have not assigned your o/p type to your O/Pprocedure.
Please check :
Use T/Code :NACE> Application V3-> Procedure-->Select your procedure --> choose "control" ---> Add your O/P here.
Hope this will work for you.

Managing planning time fence ( P1 MRP type ) and firm zone in ME32L

Hello,
I want to know if there is or are some documents to know how to manage planning time fence in MM02 and firm zone in ME32L ?
For me, in ME32L the firm zone is the firmed quantities sent to suppliers but not firmed for MRP so how to manage this easily ?
Thanks.
Romeo.

Dear,
Firm ZOne in SA, says that that much qty will be procured from that vendor with in that date specified, if not taken the production cost and cost related to that will be paid.
Now the planing time fence, is the time with in which no change is allowed. Hence if there is any new requirement to that RM, then it will be pushed to outside the time fence.
Hence if there is a schedule line which is already there and requirement is coved with in that, then your requirement is met, if not system will create a new schedule line in the trade off zone/planning zone.
I hope you got the point.

MRP type configuration :MRP procedure

HI gurus ,
when I am doing the requirement planning for material with MRP type RF (with MRP procedure W) the material can not be planned by MD03,but only by WRP1 ,after I change the MRP type to VV (with MRP procedure S) ,it works .
My question is : how to make clear the difference behind the different transaction ,is it based on the different MRP procedure in the MRP type configuration or something else ? And what else MRP type can be planned with MD03?
Thanks in advance
Ryan .

Hi,
As far as, I understand, there is not linkage of MRP Type and Planning Transactions. Planning Transactions have their own purpose.
MD01 - MRP Run ast Plant level based on Scope of Check
MD02 - MRP - Single-item, Multi-level (This will explode the BOM of material entered for planning and plan all the componenets)
MD03 - MRP-Individual Planning-Single Level (This will not explode the BOM of material entered and plan only the entered material)

MRP Type V1, VB, or PD.

I am loking to maintain MM02 MRP Type and maintain re-order point at 0.
MRP Type V1 & VB are not allowing me to enter 0 as a re-order point value.
I am in a simple distribution environment where finished goods are purchased and issued with no sales or production requirements.
I would like to run MRP and generate Purchase Requisitions for items with re-order points.
I am also looking to maintain the Material Master for items that are not required to have re-order points but may need to be ordered in future.
The current MRP Type is: V1 with Lot Size: HB.
Therefore I am unable to change Re-Order point to 0.
What is the best setting for this enviroment to maintaint the Material Master and have re-order point of 0?
Thank you,
Tim

Hi Tim!
Your question is related to MRP module of ERP, however, this space is dedicated to SAP ME and MII solutions. Thus you'd rather re-post the question to a proper forum - this might help you find the right one.

MRP type "VB" components generated dependent reqt. after MRP by sales order

Good morning to all SAP gurus
        I hav scenario for mech. industry where we r going to implement MRP run , having FERT which is MTO scenario and " PD" MRP type.and its BOM components having MRP type "VB" with no strategy type. At MRP run after creating sales order system generated purchase requisition for components(ROH) depends on sales order requirements along with reorder point PR. So please help me system shouldn't generate PR depends on sales order requirements should create as per reorder point PR only.
       EX.   To manu. 1 nos of FERT (PD) required 1 nos of ROH (VB) . we r creating sales order of 10 nos. , reorder pt is 11 and
stock is 15. after mrp run system generated PR for 10 nos which is dependent for sales order.
       Pls elaborate regarding above scenario. Thanks in advance.
Regards
siva

Dear
Practically speakig , system should generate special stock PR as you are dealing with MTO sales order and MRP should plan the depedent requirement accordingly based on the MRP4 -Indiviaul and Collective Indicator -1 .
But , if you do not want to consider it as special stock , then you need to assing MRP4 Individual and Collective Indicator -2 and run MRP MD02-2,1,1,3,3 .
In you case , you have already stock 15 pc and ROP -10 , so system will not genreate any PR because , it will fullfill the requurement ( 10 PC FERT -10 ROH) .Once the stock fall behind 10 , then it will trigger PR .
Hope this is clear

AFS Condition Types and Pricing Schema

Dear All
I am working in AFS 6.00 in that i am not able to find AFS Condition Type and Pricing schema like
J3AP, J3AX, J3AD and J3A00.
But in SAP AFS Library they have mentioned all the condition type and Procedure will Come default.
AFS Condition Types
Choose one of the following condition types to determine prices at SKU level:
J3AP
gross price at SKU level J3AX
manual entry of the gross price at SKU level J3AD
discount in percent at SKU level
"The calculation schema J3A00 and the schema group J1 are predefined in the AFS standard system. In order to be able to specify prices at SKU level, the schema group J1 must be entered in the Vendor Master Record."
Kindly confirm me whether it is available default or any Note has to apply to get this option.
Kindly guide me.
Shobana

Dear Shobhana,
All the default conditions will be available in client "000". Please
copy these condition from client "000" to any other client.
If you wish to copy Customizing from client 000 to other clients.
then you need to have all the customizing that you wish to copy
collected in one place (a transport request). Further, to do the actual
synchronization/copying of the data, you can use the transaction SADJ
(Customizing Transfer Assistant). This tool is a part of the Cross
System Viewer application itself.
Please try this first on your test client first. If you have any doubts
please get back to us.
If you need more assistance on this please raise a message under
"BC-CUS-TOL-CST". My colleagues will be able to help you regarding this.

Requirement type and Schedule line category

Hi SD Gurus,
1) Please let us know, where to see the Requirement Type (Control filed of Availability check and TOR) in the sales order. I dont remember now and I knew that we can change the Requirement type in sales order, while creating the same.
2) In the Intra-stock transport order (stock transfer between Plants with in a company code), how the schedule line category NN is getting determined and what is the purpose of this schedule line category?
Please advice on both the doubts...
Regards,
Manivannan R

HI,
Schedule line category determined in the combination of MRP type and ITEM Category(MRP will be maintainedin the material master and the item category will be determined in the combination of Sales doc typitem ct grpusagehlev.,itmcatdef.,itmcat+man.,itmcat) and the use of this item category NN is stock will be transfer frm sloc to sloc within a plant and for more info check tcode OMJJ take help of MM consultant.

Item Category and MRP type for material is not allowed

Hello all,
I got a Error Message:
Transaction Z113 is not defined (Message no. V1347)
Diagnosis
This combination of item category Z113 and MRP type for material is not allowed.
System response
The system does not allow further processing of this item.
Procedure
Check your entry.
You can display the combination defined in table TVEPZ, which controls scheduling line category determination, and change it as required if you have the authorization to do so. The MRP type for the material may be changed in the material master.
The SD Configuration seems all right, I have:
Sls Doc Type (VOV8) ZA9 (no delivery type assigned)
Item Category (VOV7) Z113
Assigs Sls Doc & Item Ctgry (VOV4) ZA9/ZNOR/blank/blanl/Z113
ZNOR = Std Item-Av. chck Del
ZNOR defined in MM03/Sls Org 2
Define Schedule Line (VOV6) = Z7 (without delivery)
Z7 has FLAG on Prod Allocation
Assign Schedule Line (VOV5) = Z113/ND/Z7
At table: TVEPZ
I have the entry: Z113/ND/Z7
Guys, what would?
Please help me out because I am stuck in this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Barbara

Barbara, this may be tied to Strategy Group on the Material Master (I can't read enough into the detail)
Item Category determination + MRP Type for your schedule line type ties to a Sched. Line category(this you know)
New Rqmts class gets tied to a Rqmts Type
New Rqmts Type gets assigned to rqmts class
Strategy, assign the Rqmts Type to it
Strategy Group, Assign the Strategy to it
MM02 [MRP3 view] strategy group should be the one that ties together (all the other ties
It may be something in this area that you need to trace through ?

MRP Type P1 and late firm schedule lines

Hello All,
     We are using MRP Type P1 which firms our schedule agreement schedule lines within the planning time fence (as desired). However, sometimes the supplier is late on delivery and the firm schedule line goes into the past.
     Is it possible to have MRP move the firm schedule line delivery date to today instead of going into the past?
     Thank you,
     Jerry

Hi ,
Bring process forward (reschedule in)
Within this rescheduling horizon, the net requirements calculation checks whether, after a requirement, a firmed receipt exists, which can be used to cover this requirement. Then the system displays a rescheduling date as well as the exception message Bring process forward for this receipt. The net requirements calculation then uses this receipt and the system will only create another procurement proposal if the receipt quantity is not sufficient to cover the complete requirement. Several firmed receipts can be used to cover one requirement.
It does not take in to account the GR processing time and it is purely based on the stock requirement date , parameters in Procurement and Scheduling in the Material Master
So it will consume the requirement backward scheduling and bring the Process forward.
Kumar which strategy are you using ? scheduling agreement is of weekly , daily or monthly bucket ?
How many days SA bring to Production and How many days SA for forecast you are doing ?
Are you using any Program to convert these SA in to PIR and upload ( using any program ) .

Jayavimal

MRP type for two different types requirments( Sale order and PIRs)

Dear All,
We have requirment some materials we have sales order and PIRs. For sales order we want to consider with "MRP type" as PD and PIR we want to consider "MRP type" as VB manual reorder point planning.
Is there any stadard solution.
If standard solution not possible also poivde some inputs on enhancement.
Regards
Sailendra
Edited by: nivedita yadav on May 7, 2010 2:31 PM

Sailendra,
your post is confusing, how you want to different MRP type for same material?
and why its needed?
1) you can use MRP type PD , and incoming sales order will search in existing stock or will create procurement proposal ( depends upon what strategy you are using)
2) If you are using VB then when ever you stock will fall below the reorder point you maintained in material master , system will create new procurement proposal, here the manual means the value you need to maintained manualy for reorder point and safety stock.
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
hope it will help you.

MRPgenerated requisitions and MRP type =VB

Hi Gurus,
I have the following question.
IF a material has the MRP type VB=manual reorder point planning, then when the stock falls below the reorder point, MRP generates purchase requisitions. For eg, on May 1st, MRP generated a requistion of 100 units of one material. Now, if no PO is created or no goods receipt done on May 1st of that material, will MRP run on the next day will create one more requistion of 100 units? Or there will be no requistion generated by MRP, as there is already a requistion of required qty sitting there?
Thanks,
Kumar

Dear Kumar,
MRP run is as per the business requirements and it can be run daily or weekly or monthly (or individually for a material using
MD02.).In your case since already one PR for the required quantity has been existing in the system,when MRP is run on
the next day the system does not create any additonal PR for 100 quantity,and if you run with a MRP control parameter with
value 3 for planning type - delete and recreate planning data,then the system will delete the old PR and generates a new PR for
the same 100 quantity.
Check and revert
