No planning file entry for safety stock

hello!
i do not have a planning file entry for safety stock. my material has required safety stock and no quantity on plant stock. therefore MD01 should create a purchase requisition - but is does not. i do not have an entry in the planning file as well.
any ideas what could be the reason?
thanks!

Hi,
- First of all check whether MRP is activated or not for Perticuller Plant.T.code is OMDU.
- Which MRP type is maintained for that material?
- In rare cases (Materials uploaded by LSMW using Badi) it is observed that system miss to make the entry in Planing File.So better will be set a Back Ground job to activate Planing file OMD0 or make manual entry using T.code MD20.

Planning file entry for MRP Area

Hi,
To create planning file entry in the background at plant level we use Transaction MDAB. I would like to know that if MRP area is active than whats the T-code for planning file entry in the background at mrp area level?? To create manualy in the Trx md20 we have that option to select mrp area & plant. So please let me know yours view on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear,
If planning file entry are there on plant level then system will convert same on MRp area level. Have you check that tables? (DBVM)
For planning file entry at MRP area lvel , use report RMDBVM00 (transaction OM0F) to convert the existing table MDVM with the planning file entries into table DBVM. The conversion is also described in MRP Customizing: TA OPP1 -> Planning File Entries.
There is no need of MDAB just check your entry in MD21 take a MRP run at MRP area lvel and come back if any problem.
If you want to schedule it on MRP area lvel then use the MDRE or use program RMMDVM10 and in variant here select the MRP Area redio button.

Issue in Planning file entry creation for materials

Hi all,
There are some materials for which there are no planning file entries inspite of having MRP data and valid MRP type.
The reason (1) could be that those materials might have been created before MRP was activated for that plant. Another reason (2)is that materials created by certain batch SAP programs do not trigger the creation of a planning file entry automatically, the way a MM01 normally does when you create a material. Otherwise when a material is created with MRP data & valid MRP type, the material will be automatically included in the Planning File.
Please let me know whether my understanding on the above( reason no.1 & 2) is valid or not. Is there any SAP / OSS document / SAP help related to this information on reason (2) that you can share with us? If you could share any link of any such document, it will be really helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Regards
Brijesh

Dear,
Reason could be
System will maintain the Planning File Entry Automatically once MRP is activated for particular Plant (T.Code OMDU).But if Materials are created Before this activation then you have to do manual entry of those Materials in Planning File using T.Code MD20 or using Background job MDBT.
If you create the materials or upload materials before activation plant for MRP this may be the cause for this.
Go to OMDU here is tick mark for plant activation for MRP if you activated after material master creation then system will not create planning file entry for these material.
In my case every thing was maintained than also no planned order generated? Pls put some more fact on this.
Before running MRP we used to run MDRE. But in the result spool list there is no content
Create the variant and run it in Back ground
For this you need to you need to create the variant for planning file entry and its consistence check in OMDU and execute it to avoid such type of issue.
Hope clear to you.

Planning file entry (URGENT)

Hi All,
As per my understanding, the moment we create a material using MM01, a planning file entry is made for the same by the system. But for a particular plant i find a lot of materials not having planning file entry & hence they are not a part of MRP runs.
May i know what might be the reason that so many materials have not created a planning file entry? Is there anyway that i can know for a given plant which materials have not created a planning file entry?
(Note - These materials were created a long time ago)
Hope my question is clear, await inputs.
Vivek

Hi vivek,
i found this info on SDN only hope this will solve ur prob completly
Basically, planning file entries are automatically generated for newly created materials with MRP views (with a valid MRP type) or materials to which MRP views are added at a later time. The prerequisite for this is that MRP has been activated for the plants under consideration.
This implies that as long you load your materials after MRP has been activated for your plants, then theoretically you do not have to create the planning file entries manually. The usual practice however is to schedule the MDAB and MDRE jobs as a one-time run after loading your materials. This is done primarily as a safety measure to ensure that materials are not missing planning file entries for any reason.
If you are using the direct input program (RMDATIND) for instance (or a BDC program where you might have missed the relevant setting) to load your materials and you have not flagged the 'update planning file entry' indicator in the input parameters, then you WILL need to run MDAB and MDRE once to create the planning file entries manually and check consistency.
Schedule the planning file entry (MDAB) and MDRE (consistency check) jobs once a month or so essentially as a precautionary measure to ensure that NO materials are missed for any reason to be included in the planning run. It may not be required but then It is always prefer safety rather than finding out when it's too late in the game.

Planning file Entries

Hi Friends
When is a Planning File Entry is Created?? During the creation of Material master?? We have uploaded the material Master and found that there are few materials for which Planning File Entries are not createdu2026.. How can we overcome this?? Do we have to create the planning file entries using MD20??
Is there any views which are required for Planning file entry Creation?? Like MRP 1 u2013 4 Views should be there for Planning File entry Creations??
Please get back to me on the above.
Jade

Dear,
All materials assigned with MRP are automatically entered in planning file entry.
Depends on changes in material planning or in proposal , system will create planning file entry.
When MRP run system will consider only which materials having entry in above contents of planning file entry.
If the materials is created before activating planning file for plant, you must generate planning file entry for all material by tcode MDAB.
T-Code :
MD20 Create planning file entry
MD21 Display planning file entry
MDAB Set up planning file entry in background
MDRE Check planning file entry
For the first time (just before Go-live), it is advisable to create the Planning file entries mnually and execute the MRP.. This is to reduce the inconsistencies..
But, system will automatically Creates the Planning File entry, if the Material is relevnt for planning.
First time MRP Run with NEUPL will not consider the planning file entries..
So, after that every thing will be stream lined.
In rare cases systm may miss the entering the Material details in the Planning file

MRP AREA NETCH indicator missing in planning file entry

Hi,
MRP has been activated at MRP area level storage location level and there were no planning file entries for some materials because we were using the LSMW program RMDATIND for uploading the materials and there was no update flag for Planning File entries. Later we have updated the Direct input session with update Flag.
I already ran the MDAB and MDRE so by the missing planning file entries.
We are running the background job RMMRP000 for the MRP. There are some materials which are not being planned in the background job. When i run the MRP for the same materials in MD02/MD03, the procurement proposals are being created using MD02/MD03.
I checked in MD21, we can see the Planning file entries then there no indicator for NETCH.
What could be the reason?

Inconsistency in Planning file entry

Hi Experts,
Planning file entry is maintained for few set of materials.The issue is that the planning file entry for few materials have been deleted.How can I find for which all materials the planning file entry is deleted.
Also we have a program RMMDVM10 running on weekly basis.But no planning file inconsistency for the materials is reported in the spool of this program.How can the deleted planning file entires for the materials be set automatically again?
Thanks & Regards,
Ameya Khanwalkar

Dear Ameya,
Planning File entries can be set manually for each material or using a batch job using T.Code MD20/MDAB.
Consistency check for the planning file: Since the entries in the planning file are permanent, you must check their MRP
relevancy regularly. If, for example, a plant is subsequently excluded from material requirements planning, its materials will still
be included in the planning file. The same applies for materials that are subsequently flagged with the MRP type No MRP and are
thus excluded from MRP. In such cases, you should delete the entries in the planning file.
The same can checked by running the batch job through scheduling it in T.Code MDRE.

Can MRP run without Planning File Entry?

Hi,
    I came across an issue where MRP is running accurately without any Planning File Entry for a material in E.C.C.6.
    My Understanding is MRP can NOT run w/o PFE u2013 which is a mandatory prerequisiteu2026..BUTu2026???
TRY itu2026   1.in OMDU find a plant where MRP is NOT active,    2. Create a Material with all required data (I used ROH, Proc.Typreu2013 F, Strategy u2013 70, Mixed MRP-1, Ind/Coll u2013 2)   3. Activate MRP for the Plant in OMDU.   4. Create Demand according to strategy (I used VSFB in MD61).   5. Run MRP & complete procurement as many times u want.   6. In this process anytime u can check in MD21 u2013 there is NO PFE.
     Can someone tell me what the reason / logic are behind? Is there any OSS note for it?

Dear ACCPP12,
1) in which t-code your running MRP, i suspect your running in MD02
2) MD02 & MD03 does not require Planning file entry
3) MRP gives results with out planning file entry by the above mentioned t-codes
4) where as if your going with MD01, then Planning file entry is required for materials

Long Term Planning-Planning File Entry

Hi Gurus/Friends
In the long term planning after PIR with inactive version and creating Scenario, assinging versions, Plants,....then
during Release+Save it is giving the Result of Planning File Entries
Logically the system has suppose to give the Number of Planning File Entries in Propotionate to the Specific Planning Scenario number and materials inside
But it is giving for all the Materials inside the Plant
Is there any settings to restrict the Planning File Entry creation w.r.t Planning scenario during Release+Save
other than the solutions through Transaction MS20,MS22 and MSAB
(Because during Release+save logically it has to call the MS22 t.code and do planning file entries for the materials in that scenario)
Awaiting for reply
thanks
K.Prabakaran

Hi,
Please Refer Below SAP help .
*Releasing a planning scenario*
You first have to release a planning scenario before you can plan it in the long-term planning run. When you release the planning scenario, the system creates planning file entries for all materials in all the plants allocated to the planning scenario. There is a separate planning file entry for this purpose. This guarantees that your operative planning is kept completely separate from your simulative planning. This long-term planning file contains all the materials that are also contained in the operative planning file. After the release, every change relevant to MRP triggers an entry in the planning file as in operative planning.

Question on Planning File entry

Hi all,
Whenever a material master is changed with relevant MRP data, there will be a planning file entry for NETCH, NETPL. And after the MRP run, it will be reset. So I would like to know whether the materials which are reset (there is not entry for NETCH, NETPL) will be considered for the next MRP run. When i see the list in MD21, i can see the materials without NETCH, NETPL.
So I would like to know when you run the total MRP (MD01), the materials which are reset will be planned or not? Or should we manually create the planning file entry?
Regards
Brijesh

Dear,
While running MRP, system will consider material which have planning file entry.
So I would like to know when you run the total MRP (MD01), the materials which are reset will be planned or not? Or should we manually create the planning file entry?
system won't consider the material in MRP run.
NO need to create planning file entry manually ( because that material does n't have any changes related to MRP, so if u create manually also, system won't plan)

Planning file entry

Hi Guru's ,
is there any need to set up planning file enteries in OMDO for every plant because system will atomatically update the planning file for every material that have valid MRP data. If i have valid MRP views maintained in this situation what will be the reasons that system will not update plannig files.
thanks
Ramakant

Hi Ramakant,
Planning file entries will be created automaticaly with valid MRP type and with the every change in which is relevent to MRP.
But SAP recommends to run the setup and consistency check at plant level befor you execute the MRP this is because sometimes system wll not create planning file entry for a particuler part because od many reasons hence the this material will not be planned..in the same way after MRP run some planning file entries will not be deleted autmatically for some parts...resulting the MRP re-planned these parts in next run eventhough there was no change happned and no MRP was requires.
So conclusion is it is better to setup the planing file entries creation and consistency check program before every MRP run at plant level.
I hope this will help you.
Rewards your points to all useful answers.

Planning File Entry Job MDAB

Hi ,
We are in process of implementing MRP for a plant.
Query
Do we need to schedule MDAB for the planning file entry before MRP job( NETCH) or run MDAB just once.
If we do not schedule this job and run just once what are the problems we will face.
Thanks,
Anup

Hello,
MDAB is a batch program to set up planning file entries. So after you run this program, system will make planning file entries for all those materials which might have missed the entry.
This normally does not happen, but as a good practise it is better to run MDAB & MDRE, to ensure that the planning file entries are consistent.
Effects as such: As you might know already, if a planning file entry does not exist for a material it will not be considered in MRP run.
When to Run the Job:
There is no need to run this transaction regularly, unless otherwise you find a lot of inconsistency and some material which are supposed to get planned in MRP run are not getting planned.
SAP automatically creates a planning file entry for the material whenever an MRP related change is happening for the material. Some times due to inconsistencies in the system, this entry is not made, so that materials would not get planned in MRP run, only when you face problem like this you need to run MDAB
Hope the above clarifies.

Planning File Entry - Mass view

Hi,
Like MD21, which is used to view planning file entry for a given material, is there a transaction or report to view the planning file entries for multiple materials at a time..?
Thanks in Advance,
Sabitha

Dear Sabitha,
in MD21, do not give material just give plant & execute
it will display all materials
if you want check particular materials, then click, Control F & give material name

Planning File Entry not generated for items releveant to PM

MRP procedure used for material is reorder based planning , in April -09 the stock for this material is consumed and becomes
zero (reorder point is 8 ,Maximum Stock Level is 8 ) and after that in MRP run the requirement is not generated .
But as per the setting of reorder point PR should be initiated.
When checked the MD21 , material is not flagged ,
I want to know the specific reason why only this material is not flagged for MRP run.
What all settings i can check ?
MATERIAL TYPE : YMRO OP Maint/ Repair/OperSup
Lot size : Repl. to max. stock level after cov. req
Procurement type : F

Hi,
Run the reports MDRE & MDAB to ensure the planning file entries are correct.
About your query what might have caused a entry not to be in planning file, well it could be many. So run the above reports & then run MRP & check the results.

Vivek
