Need clarification for MRP Run

Dear SAP Guru,
Need the clarification for MRP Run:
1.At the time of MRP Run what is the status function for - shipping notification?
2.First i have run the mrp planning mode is normal after that i have some changes in material master , so planning mode is - RE Explode planning & Bom ? AT THE TIME OF MRP RUN it is correct
3.In background MRP Run at MDBT - what is the PLANNING MODE ?
4. How will work on automatic PO Create through MRP Run PR\S.?
Kindly give me the feedback , i am waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Uma

Hello Uma
1 - A shipping notification is a confirmation from the vendor that the material has been shipped.
2 - When you change your BOM or material master MRP settings, system automatically set a flag on the planning file to re-explode the BOM. Therefore, MRP automatically re-explode the BOM, even with planning mode 1. Planning mode 2 is only necessary when you need to force a new BOM explosion and I don't recommend you to use it frequently, as it may lead to performance issues. See my document MRP: Why shouldn’t I use planning mode 3 on a productive system? for more details.
3 - See notes 206666 MRP: Control parameters during planning and 135788 - Planning mode in material requirements planning.
4 - MRP does not create or change purchase orders or production orders. MRP can only create planned orders, purchase requisitions or schedule lines.
At last, I wrote the following document with links to the MRP FAQ notes, which may be helpful to you:

What are all the major SPRO parameters available for MRP run in SAP.

Dear Frndz,
What are all the major SPRO parameters available for MRP run in SAP.
Regards,
Srini

Hi,
For MRP, the main Customization settings involved are:
1. Activate MRP and Set Up Planning File - OMDU
2. Define Parallel Processing in MRP - OMIQ
3. Define Scope of Planning for Total Planning - OMIZ
If you want to use MRP Areas and include this in Scope of Planning then.
1. Activate MRP for MRP Areas
2. Define MRP Areas - OMIZ
With MDBT of Program : RMMRP000 you can schedule the Background MRP Run. (with a variant)
If you need any any specific information please inform..

Hi All
I posted the question on WAS preview installation, then I realized I should have put it here. Here is the link to that post:

Hi Xueqing,
First of all, sorry for any confusion that we have caused you. I hope I can give you an answer that will clear up the confusion. Sorry, but it is a long explanation of the development of two application solution but history tends to be very long winded!
It is not true SAP R/3 Enterprise equals SAP Web AS, and I'll hopefully explain why:
In the beginning (at least in the client server world) SAP only ship SAP R/3. The technology layer under SAP R/3 was called SAP Basis. There was only SAP Basis under SAP R/3.
SAP then started to deliver other software solutions that were not included in or built on the SAP R/3 software. These included SAP Business Information Warehouse, SAP APO, SAP SEM, SAP CRM, and the list goes on.
These solutions needed to run on technology layer (like SAP R/3 did). SAP Basis was the obvious choice for this because of the common technology layer providing DB/OS abstraction and a coding environment.
~2001:
Later there came the need to have SAP Basis support the web and its web standards and other programming languages. This radically changed what SAP Basis was and we decided to rename the new technology layer to SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS). So the SAP Basis name was retired and SAP Basis 4.6D was the last release called SAP Basis.
The new release and the "technology change" means that all the applications mentioned above now ran on SAP Web AS. The first release of SAP Web AS was 6.10.
~2002:
SAP Web AS was first used in SAP R/3 Enterprise release .
The important fact is that SAP R/3 Enterprise runs on SAP Web AS. SAP R/3 Enterprise = SAP R/3 business applications + new business functions + SAP Web AS.
~2003:
I hope the above explanation is clear, because technology takes another major change. It was realized that SAP now had a collection of business solutions/applications (SAP R/3, mySAP CRM, mySAP SCM, etc) and a collection of technology solutions (SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP EP, etc). The technology requirements for the business solutions did not end at SAP Web AS, they needed portal, data warehouse, knowledge management capabilities, etc to develop business solutions on.
To address this SAP made the decision to combine all the technology solutions and tools into one single platform. This made complete sense for developers (SAP, Partners and customers). This single platform is called SAP NetWeaver. It includes all the old individual components of SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP KM, SAP EP, etc).
~2004:
I think you can guess what the next step is. Yes, the new release of SAP R/3. Since the release of SAP R/3 Enterprise and the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP R/3's name changes. It is now called mySAP ERP as it includes a lot of applications that were previously sold separately (like SAP SEM, MSS, ESS, etc).
So now mySAP ERP runs on SAP NetWeaver (yes everything that was in SAP Basis and then in SAP Web AS is still there but SAP NetWeaver has so much more now).
Also with the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP starts to stop using the old technology component names - you will not hear us talk about SAP Web AS, SAP BW, etc anymore, just SAP NetWeaver releases.
In addition all the other SAP business applications also run on SAP NetWeaver, so the latest version of mySAP CRM, mySAP SRM, and mySAP SCM all run on SAP NetWeaver.
So to simplify the explanation, it would be :
Evolution of SAP R/3:
SAP R/3 (up to release 4.6c) -> SAP R/3 Enterprise (releases 1.00 through 2.00 -> mySAP ERP (2004 onward)
Evolution of Basis:
SAP Basis (up to release 4.6d) -> SAP Web AS (up to release 6.40 which was included in SAP NetWeaver '04) -> SAP NetWeaver (2004 onward)
SAP NetWeaver and mySAP ERP have their own release cycles. mySAP ERP always has an underlying technology release that it is built on (this is a SAP NetWeaver release)
I hope this helps,
Mike.

Open Purchase Orders not considered as requirement for MRP Run

Hi ,
We are facing a issue of Open Purchase orders not appeared in Stock requirements list and also it is not considered as requirement for MRP Run against reservation.
As aresult for a reservation demand of 10 units we are ending with Open POs 10 units and a additional planned order 10 units.
Material Type : ERSA
MRP Type : PD (or VB)
Lot size : EX ( HB if MRP Type is VB)
Could you please throw some light to correct our settings to MRP to consider Open POs?
Saravanan

Can you check to see if there is a re-order point set up for this materia? That could be causing the problem too.

Error while closing the open purchase order for MRP run

HI expets,

one thing for sure, you cannot proceed without maintaining proper conditions in the PO.
Why they are not there or not anymore there is probably caused by customizing or vendor master data changes.

Sales order block for MRP run when the Customer payment terms is in Advance

My client needs to block some sales order for MRP which customer payment term is advance. But it should be based on the customer payments terms (In case of Advance). After getting his advance amount, we would be release it and it also be consider for MRP.
Option 1.Status profile this concept is will controlled by sales document controls VOV8 not by customer's payment term Advance
Option 2: In CMR sales area Billing Document tab by using payment guarantee procedure and in VOV8 in billing tab Payment guaramtee procedure by using this setting , i am getting a pop up message" No Finanical document assigned" in sales order when u try to save. Now sales order is blocked for delivery but not MRP run.
i am to ask the abaper to develop "here in the information box we will maintained required text say example u201C customeru2019s Payment term is in advance please check the reason for rejection number u201Csay ex: 13u201D: advance " after this is happen go to change mode of sales order put reason for rejecation" now MRP run will not generate the requirement for the sales order.
for Undo these this flow :
Va02 : remove the reason for rejection keep it in Blank
VKM3 : release the sales order.
Options 3: Development
Kindly suggest me the second options is only alternative for solving this issue but really i m not used specific feilds to solving this issue.

Cleint is not using the field in CMR Payment granatee , i gone for user-exit and closed this issue

Help required -for MRP Run at storage location level

Hi ,
we need to have separate MRP fro two storage locations with direct procurement from Storage locations. Right now we have MRP run at Plant level for all the storage locations. we donot want the materials in these two storage locations to be planned at Plant level only with Separate storage locations. Plant level MRP will run for the other storage locations .
I have created separate MRP areas for the storage locations & activated MRP for MRP Areas client level. material masters for the two storage locations have been asigned the MRP areas & maintained the MRP area data in material master .
When we run the MD01, the Planned orders are getting created at both MRP areas plus at the Plant level.we donot want the planned orders creation at Plant MRP area level-only at the storage location level for those two storage locations MRP areas.
Can anybody guide me -how to achieve that ? Did we miss any configuration?
I tried to maintain scope of planning & getting error for parallel processing .
Do i need to maintain parallel procesing with servers ?
Pls need your input on this. Any help will be highly appreciated .
   Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Krish.

Hi,
     Go to IMG settings 'Materials Management + Consumption-Based Planning + Planning + Define Storage Location MRP per Plant' Enter your Plant, It will show list of storage location in that Plant, then select 2 in 'MRP Indicator' field for storage location for which u want to plan seperately.
Hope It will clear Your Problem

Hi,
Please check whether you have maintained the Availability check group 01 or 02 in MRP-3 View.
Also check the Dependent requirement selection in MRP-4 view individual collective and Selection method in MRP-4 view for its assy material.
Check the Plant specific material status whether it is blocked for any procurement or usage in Basic Data and Purchasing,MRP views.

User exit for MRP run - MD01

Hi All,
Can i know the use of "User exit parameter" field in MD01. as i know it means if we only want to plan the materials of a certain MRP controller, for example, we can enter the key of the appropriate MRP controller as the parameter.
in my scenario, we have already incorporated a user exit for MD01 - MRP Run.
i have 3 MRP controllers, but want to plan for only 2 MRP controllers, then how to enter in that field?
Regards,
Ram

HI,
User exit are available for Md01 transaction. You can plan material by MRP Type, MRP Controller,MRP Type, Procurement type & so on....
Once you activate user exit, you can select the same by drill down option in user exit Key field.

Milind.

Plannning Material and Plant for MRP Run

Hi,
If I have a material (01) extended on 2 plants, on one plant (A) we have production and planning/MRP + stock and on the other one (B), just stocking and transfer. B's requirements are to be entered and planned at A. I also want stock at B to be considered with stock at A when MRP runs at A. In the material master, I have some settings. I want to know if these would be any good:
Material 01 on Plant A:
MRP PD
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied
Material 01 on Plant B:
MRP ND/PD tried both
Strategy 40
Lot size EX
Coverage profile applied (same)
Planning material: Material 01 itself
Planning plant: Plant A
I particularly want to know about points 5 and 6. Will they make any difference if I run MRP on scope of planning(all plants) or just plant A? Will stock at B be considered? What difference does that setting make in my case? Please help!
Thanks!

No sales on Plant A. Only transfers and STO's. Stock is STO'd to Plant B (and other Plants, as well)
Plant B sells the stock.
Yes, I want to load the forecast in Plant A (COPA to SOP to DM to MRP). What do I do in this case?
I tried another case, as well. In that I put a special procurement on the material in Plant B view and marked it as external procurement. (the planning material and plant were there, didn't remove)
Then I entered the forecast in both plants separately (PIRs for both Plants) The requirements from Plant B made STPO Planned orders in Plant B and STCK Planned orders in Plant A. I am using coverage profiles (period is month, standard length 25 days, target 10 days for 1st period for 2 months, target 10 days for 2nd period for 1 month, target 10 days for the rest of the horizon) Not using any consumption modes.
The results I am getting don't make sense to me. I have attached screen shots for both plants MD04 and the MRP + work scheduling views

MRP - firming Purchase Order dates for MRP run

We are using demand management and MRP to create purchase requisitions for external procurement. It works fine and creates purchase requisitions based on the monthly demand entered in MD61. However, if I have a purchase order with a delivery date of a few months in the future, MRP always asks me to reschedule the order to meet current demand. i.e. it reduces the quantity on a requisition because it expects the rescheduled PO to meet the demand. In addition, it creates a requisition for the full demand a few months out, even though I have a PO delivery on that date (as it expects me to move the PO to the current date) See example below
Does anyone how to get MRP to treat a PO delivery date as fixed or firmed and create requisitions based on this?
We are using MRP type PD, a planning strategy that looks only at LSF in demand management and KSL in SD requirements.
Thanks
Donal
Scenario:
Current Stock: 500 KG
Safety Stock Level: 1000 KG
Demand:
Aug: 1500
Sep: 2000
Oct: 3000
PO del date 01.10.08 : 750 KG
When I run MRP it proposes the following
01.08.08 Requisition: 1250 KG. Aug demand (1500) + deficit below safety stock (500) = 2000 less PO that it is saying I should move to July (750). (I want this qty to be 2000)
01.09.08 Requisition: 2000 KG. Sep demand (2000) - OK
01.10.08 Requisition: 3000 KG. Oct demand (3000). Doesnu2019t look at PO dated 01.10 at all. (I want this qty to be 2,250)

rescheduling horizon days fixes this.

     I have Used CTU Parameters with Update Mode = 'S' and Commit = 'X', and passed to the Call transaction.
     I have Tried Session Method as well.
     I have Tried BAPI also it Doesn't Suit our Requirement as Suggested by Functional, because MRP area is mandatory. Since we will run at plant level a

For this JOB, you can check what is the Program and Program variant it is executing...
From the log you gave, it seems its a custom job scheduled on some program.
Select the job, and click on steps.. it will take you to step list overview...
then menu goto -> variant.
this will tell you what program was running..
based on the program you can decide if the SM37 job should be deleted or not..
If you found that you still need the job, then you can just change the executing user of that JOB,,, replacing the older ID with any new ID

User Exit For MRP RUN

Hi all ,
I am using the user exit for the Plant A - MRP by MRp Type.
and i would like to use the same enhancement in the Different project in Plant B MRP by Material Group , But the sys is not allowing to use the same enhancement saying the enhancement is already used in the Project .
Whether i have to code in the Same project or i can create TWo project with the same enhancement ?
Regards

Please understand, if you are changing the project for a different plant then you need to create same enhancement. If you are working on same project, you need not to create another code, you can get results by simply changing the plant name.
I hope, I have cleared.
cheers!!!
