MRP1 Lot Size customizing bundle fullfillment of demands

Hi SAP PP/MM Gurus,
does anybody know a smart way to built up MRP planning parameter, which split the raw material demands into 2 Purchase Requsitions, or Schedule Lines per week. Plant receiving date, 2 fixed days each week (Monday and Thursday only for receiving goods)
Currently we plan with PD and Lot Size WB weekly (99%), some with TB daily or EX.
With WB we plan Schedules with a GR date each Friday to cover the production demands for the complete next week.
Now I want to change and bundle demands and give out Schedule Releases with a goods receipt day on Monday (bundle demands from Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and Thursday. (bundle demands from Friday/opt. Saturday and Monday)
Other settings also thinkable, as I must deal with GR Time and different transport times as well.
I already tested some settings in OMI4, but unfortunatelly not sucessful.
Is the Lot Size the best field to do it?
Can anybody enlight me in that topic?
Thanks in Advance

Dear Alba,
1) after making setting Lot Size: SOP as Lot-for-lot order quantity. save this setting
2) Run MRP in MD02with processing as NETCH
4) make Planning mode parameter as 3 ( Delete & Re-create planning data )
Then check the result

Rounding Value is not considered for MB lot size

Hi
I have a scenario where MB (Monthly Lot size) lot size is used with rounding value. Example as below:
Lot size: MB
Min Lot size: 15000
Rounding Value: 20000
DEMAND: 16000
When MRP run, System is creating the 16000 as P Req instead of 20000 which is the rounding value.
Pl let me know, if I need to apply OSS note / any other solution for this.
Thanks,
JK

Dear ,
Are you using any Rouding Profile in MRP1 view ?
What is the Setup in OMI4 for MB-Lot Size .Remove the tick mark in Last Lot Exat if it is marked .By specifing the rounding value, the system will determine during lot size calculation that lot size qty is a multiple of of an order unit(eg : pallet size if mtrl is delivered in entire pallets...).
Please check what is the Lot Size Indicator or Lot size procedure assinged to it ?
2.you can use rounding profiles...its used to define the setting of rounding up or rounding down the order proposal qty into deliverable quantities...rounding profile maintenance the t-code is OWD1. Here for static rounding profile
Rounding profiles are defined under:
spro-> purchasing->consumption based planning->planning->lot size calculation ->maintain rounding profiles...
it consist of threshold value and rounding value...
the threshold val is the value from which the system rounds the value of the next deliverable units upto...
the rounding value is from which the systemshd round up to as soon as threshold value is exceeded...
Otherwise , Check FM MD_ROUNDING_VALUE

Minimum Lot Size with Rounding Value

Hi I have an interesting scenario.
I just want my procurement proposals to be generated in multiples of 40000. But I have agreed to my vendor on Minimum Lot Size of 75000 qty. My aim is to generate the proposals with 80000 qty even for the demand of 25000.
But when i am carrying out the MRP run for the demand of 20000, ssytem is plan only for 75000. But when i increased the demand to 50000 or more system plans in multiples of 40000, i.e. 80000 qty.
Is there by anyways can we plan in multiples of 40000 eventhough the min lot size is 75000 and the demand is 20000?
-solai

Hi,
Maintain lot size as EX, Minimum lot size as 80000 and rounding value as 40000 in the MRP to get the procurement proposals in multiples of 40000.

Maximium lot size is 200 in MRP1 view.I have purchase order which 400 qty

Maximium lot size is 200 in MRP1 view.I have purchase order which 400 qty , but my system is allowing to pick 400 qty, can you please say wat may be the reason
regards
sakthi

Hello,
As others others experts are saying your maximum lot size will only work for MRP run not for manual created PR.
The system takes this value into account during the automatic lot size calculation for planned orders and production orders. The lot size of the individual orders cannot exceed this value

Custom lot size

Hi Experts,
In a MTO scenario for the FG i have created sale order of 1000, fixed lot size in material master of FG is 100. System has created a plnned order of 1000. I want to divide the planned order into 10 orders as per the batch size (fixed lot size) of 100. Is it possible through custom lot size?
Regards
Sm

you can use the Distribution key in production version of the material master
This key Determines the split to be used for dividing the quantities of a planned order or a production order into partial quantities. In so doing, the relationship between time and quantity produced is established.

Combination of Fixed Lot size and Period lot size

Dear all
I have scenario as follows:
1. My supplier's standard packing size of a raw material is 1000 EA.
2. I want to follow period based lot size to optimise my order and inventory cost. But I don't want to use dynamic lot size which will propose dynamic quantity.
So my requirement is like I want to fix lot size as 1000 at material master and Period is Week. My proposal quantity must be 5000 EA for the following demand pattern:
Week 1:1200
Week 2: 1000
Week 3: 1100
Week 4: 1000
System must consider period as well as fixed quantity.
Kindly throw some light on this.
Advance thanks.

Hi
1.As you are looking for Weekly demand demand quanityt , you have to assign Weekly Lot Size : WB.
2. Goto OWD1 and Create a Rounding Profile which will rounds into Weekly Demand quantity for that plant and simulate .
3.Assign this rounding profile in MMR in MRP1
3.DO NOT assing rounding valu as 1000 .Rather keep it blank
Hope this will solve the problem

Relation between PO Qty and Minimum Lot size of material master

I have maintained "100" in minimum lot size ( MRP1 View, table MARC and field BSTM) for the material.
I am also succssed to create the Purchase order for 2.5 Qty for the same material. '
I wanted to know, how system is allowig to create the PO with lesser qty or is this view is maintained only for sales?
Please give your expert comments on the same.
Thanks,

Used for claculate the procurement qty during MRP and depends on the lot size procedure you select. quota arrangement also uses this lot size.

MRP run on basis of lot size

Dear all
I have two different lot size routing for a inhouse product are 0-2000 and 0-1500 nos . I planned for 5500 nos , after MRP run system should create planned order as per selection of lot size as 0-2000 for 2 planned order and 0-1500 for 1 planned order .is it possible ?
thans in advanced
regards
siva

Dear,
Quota arrangement can be used if the demand (100) is created in which is define the ratio 60:40 but it will create two planned order after MRP Run. Go to transaction MEQ1 maintain a quota arrangement for this material. In MRP 1 view choose lot size with quota splitting and in MRP 2 view maintain quota usage as 4.

How to know if a MRP run element is using Quota Arrangement and lot size?

Hi all,
Two questions:
A) How to determine if a source is actually pulled from Quota Arrangement?
I am wondering if there is anyway from ABAP table or from Transaction (i.e. Purchasing Order) in which the source is pulled from a Quota Arrangement?
We use scheduling agreement, PIR and source list, and as well as Quota Arrangement for our purchasing.
I just want to know how, from system (table and transaction), to find out the source is from quota, not from PIR or others.
B) Quota Arrangement still can work properly if lot-size procedure's splitting quota indicator not Checked?
If my the lot-size procedure which I am using for a material does not activate the splitting quota indicator, it means split quota will not work during MRP run.
But does this also mean that quota arrangement will not be working for this particular material even if I have create a a quota arrangement object (via MEQ1) for this material?
Thanks
Daniel

Tomek,
If I want to use the split quota, it seems there is some pre-requisite.
If you go to MEQ1 and press F1's on the "Minimum qty split" column, and you will notice the following message.
Allocation by quota using splitting quotas is only carried out via a requirement planning run, subject to the following preconditions:
Through the appropriate entry in the field Quota arrangement usage (on the MRP data screen 2 or Purchasing screen) it must have been specified that a quota arrangement is to be applied in the planning run.
The indicator for the splitting quota must be set for the the lot-sizing procedure used for materials planning purposes in Customizing.
Hence, the quota arrangmeent still workable even if the lot-size does not have the spliting quota box checked?
Indicator: Splitting quota in short-term horizon
The indicator for splitting is used to determine that in the case of the selected lot size, the quota arrangement is to be applied using the splitting logic.
Use
If this indicator has been set, the lot is split up in the planning run according to the following formula:
quota for source X
Quantity for source X = --------------------- * requirement
sum of all quotas

Lot size not being generated

The scenario is as follows:
We have raw material for our internal consumption. for some reason, we have parted with some of the raw material one of the customer/competitor. since we have batch management in our company, we did maintain so. the objective of maintaining batch is to ease the tracing / tracking of the material.
1.material(raw matl - matl type ROH) created. posted goods receipt with movement type 561. batch no. generated.
2 subsequently, sales order created, delivered, billed. accounting doc generated.
3 Further, returns sales doc generated, delivered and posted goods receipt and returned material directly taken into Quality Inspection.
4 Inspection plan generated with inspection characteristics. control key used is "QM01"
Now, system should generate the lot size for the material returned by the customer, which is not happened so far.
Can someone guide as to how to generate the Inspection Lot?

Hi
Try with this but I am not sure.
In Material Master, select "Quality Management" tab and include Inspection Type 05 and select "Active".
By doing this, as and when PGR (Post Goods Receipt) is done, the respective stock will go to quality automatically.
Thanks

Lot size

The parents material lot size is fixed lot size , child component lot size is 2 week lot size. ( ie. 2 week = 10 Days ).
question:
If the demand for parent material in month,after MRP run the dependent requirement for child component also getting generate only one planned order.
What are the possibilities if the parent demand in month, child requirement is needed in weekly basis .Any chance to get the child requirement in weekly by changing lot size or any other possibilities.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. if we change the lot size for dependent material to weekly , biweekly or fixed etc....
The dependent req. will generate according to the lot size that is absolutely correct. but planned order or purchase req. will create according to the parent demand (ie .Adding of dependant req. what ever falling with in the lot size period and for that quantity planned order or purchase req. is getting created )
Actually my requirement is for the each dependent requirement one planned order should get generate .

Lot size calculation for Purchase order

Hi all,
I want to purchase Labels which comes in lot qty such as in lot of 100,200 etc.
For that particular items i want to do mandatory qty lot size in PO when buyers places the purchase order.
Can anybody tell me How i can map that lot size for the particular item.
Regards,
Anant

Hi,
You can done it with change Material Master.
Enter MM02 t-code, enter your material code and select MRP1 view.
Here maintain Rounding value as 100 in material master.
After when your create purchase order system put quantity as 100, 200, 300 etc.

Manual Lot Size issue in SNP

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue while creating planned orders manually in the planning book as it is not splitting into the lot size which was maintained in the product master.
Some details on the issue:
I have a product X and I maintained '4000' as the fixed lot size in product master. When I enter 20000 it should spilt it into 5 batches and which is not happenning and it is placing the entire thing as one bulk order of '20000'.
(If I run heuristics, it is splitting basing on the lot size maintained).
It was working correctly for 1 product and for many of the products it is not working. All the parameters for the products are same and there is no difference.
For the product which was working correctly for one user and for the same product if I try it is not working.
I probed more into the issue to see if any parameters were added in his profile, there is one custom parameter which is assigned which splits the planned orders basing on the lot size maintained. I even assigned that profile, it worked once and later it is not working.
The strange thing is for one user it works and for other users it doesn't even work for the same product.
Note: We recently moved from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1.
Did any one faced such kind of issues before? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Murali.

Hi Murali,
I am surprised to read the issue. I will never expect manual planned order to get split. The lot size settings are applicable only for automated planning i.e. heuristic (MRP in R/3)
If you have indeed observed that the system splits the orders by lot size, I have nothing to comment. (probably that is why you did not get a reply for almost a day.
If you have found some settings and find that they do not work, please raise a message to SAP for the same.
I do not think system should split the manual planned order.

Fixed Lot Size

Dear Gurus,
I am simulating the functionality of Fixed Lot Size so I enter Lot Size = FX and indicated Fixed order Quantity = 40,000 in Material Master. We are using Ind./Coll = 1 and I want to generate fixed quantity of planned order equal to 40,000. But when I run MD42, the system still generated planned order equal to the shortage/required quantity. Our requirement is to generate fixed quantity of 40,000 per planned order regardless of demand requirement.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

SD

Hi,
Please find my reply below,
Use MRP Type VB:Manual reorder point planning:Here you need to define reorder point in material master in MRP view.When the stock level reaches the re order point then system will create a procurement proposals.

MRP Settings - Minimum Lot size / Saftey stock /Lot Size

Hi
I am confused about some of the settings , We set M1(Monthly lot size ) and PD MRP type settings, We maintained the Minimum lot size as 2500 lb and the safety stock as 300.
I tested by changing the Parameters , I am confused.
Please clarify me
Did MRP is going to suggest the PR once if the stock went below 300 ?
Did MRP is going to wait for the PIR to get accumulate the Minimum lot size settings ?
What will happend if the time bound is beyond a month ?
Please help me to understand the concept
Thanks
JJ

Hi,
Use tcode OWD1 to create rounding profile.
Select create icon for creating new rounding profile.
Input new profile name.
In that Threshold value & Rounding value is available.
Input your value & save.
In MRP1 view give the input of rounding profile.
Example given below for easy understanding.
Threshold value Rounding value
    1- 20 -
>                20
60- 100 -
>              100
900-1000 -
>           1000
8000-10000 -
>     10000
If your requirement is 7, it will convert to 20.
If your requirement is 23, it will convert to 40.
If your requirement is 76, it will convert to 100.
If your requirement is 435, it will convert to 440.
If your requirement is 844, it will convert to 860.
If your requirement is 910, it will convert to 1000.
If your requirement is 8045, it will convert to 10000.
Hope it will helps you.
