OPPP change is not triggering planning file entry flag?

We use alternate BOMs for a particular subassembly and depending on requirements
shuffle between BOMs using a different alternate for a certain time period.
However when we change the alternate in OPPP it is not triggering the change in the planning file.
Is there something we are missing here.
Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
Frist of all , there is no such cutomisation to have planning file entry of any material.Planning files entries is the first step which checks by the MRP during the MRP run. if no entries are found for the selected parts then MRP will not plans these parts. You can create/check the planning files entries from T Codes-MD20/MD21 even before you creat FG BOM .
Planning file entries will be created automatically when you enter the relevent MRP type (example PD) in the material master MRP1 view. OR when there was a change relevent to MRP like stock change due to moveement type/GR/GI or change in material master data.
MRP does planning file rentry based on the MRP relevent changes like you have FG and valid BOM .Now based on the FG MRP4 BOM Slection Explosion method , MRP will explode the BOM from lowest level and there will be planning file entry while executing MRP on FG based on the FG requirement and dependent relation in BOM .
In you case , please check the following ;
1.Whether you have kept other alternative BOM status as Inactive-2 Iin CS02-BOM Header -Status long text and also re-assing this in Routing CA02 with correct valaidty .Check the validity of the BOM alternative which u have included for sub-assbly
2.You have all the material master parameters [MRP1-MRP4 view ] all in place specially MRP type PD, Procurement Type E or F
3.Specially , check BOM explosion /selection methods in SFG/FG level in MRP4-Sleection methoids should Blank or 1 BASED ON QTY OR maintain producxtion version with selection indicator 2 or 3.
4.BOM should have usage -1-Production , Status-1 -Active.
5.Run MRP-MD02-NETCH, 2,1,3,3,2
Check and come back

Planning File entry not created automatically

Hi,
What could be the reasons for not creating planning file entry automatically for a material..? Its MRP type is P3.
How to check whether all the material in a particular plant is considered for MRP or not..?
Does the transaction MDRE - Consistency Check have any role in this..?
Pls. clarify.
TIA
Sabitha

Dear Sabitha,
In MD21, there are no entries for that material.
It doesn't mean that planning File entry is not maintain for this material.
If non of the tabs of NChge Pln,NChge P Hor, etc are activate then it means there is no req. for this material either with in planning horizon or out planning horizon.
If planning file entry is not maintain for any material then you will get below msg in md21 at the time of execution,
No planning file entry exists for this selection
Message no. 61140
Kindly check and revert back,

Planning File Entry not created

Hi,
I have a list of materials with MRP type PD and P3 for which there is no planning file entries exists. I am getting the following msg in MD21,
NO PLANNING FILE ENTRY EXISTS FOR THIS SELECTION
I have the option of creating planning file entries manually, but i want to find out the reason for not creating planning file entry.
What other parameters and configuration settings i need to check..? Should the BOM and routing mandatory for a material to create planning file entries?
Pls. clarify.
Thanks in advance,
Sabitha

Hi,
When you create materials via LSMW, just before you start the LSMW, there is a check box for Create Planning File entries, i guess this checkbox was not ticked & hence no planning file entries.
To double confirm, check if all the materials which you created via this LSMW have planning file entries, if it does not, it should answer your query.
To create planning file entry, refer to my initial posting.

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.

Issue related to planning file entries.

Daily around 50,000 materials are getting flagged with the planning file entries ( NETCH , NETPL & BOM Expl ) in around 10 - 20 sec .
As this is imapcting the MRP run , we need to now the reason why these planning file entries are created .
Note :-
*)   All these materials has been linked to the configurable material in MRP view
*)   There are no changes in these materials
*)   There are no changes in the config mat , BOM , routing .
*)   There are no batch jobs or Idocs processed at the specific time when planning file entries are created
     Assuming that the Time stamp of last update for planning file entry in DBVM is in UTC (Universal time)
*)   We have also execute the program for consistency check of planning file entries , however even this did not help

Hi Anupam
We just upgraded from 4.6 to ECC.
In 4.6 , the number of entries flagged with NETCH per day was around 3000 & the MRP run was taking around 30 min to finish .
After upgrade the MRP run is taking around 8 hrs to finish
As per our analysis , the main reason for the MRP performance is the number of planning file entries flagged with NETCH , NETPL & BOM re-explode indicator .
When we checked the update time stamp in table DBVM for all the 50,000 entries , we observed that all these entries were updated within a time duration of 15 - 20 sec.
In this paticular time duration , we checked whether there were any batch job or idocs getting procesed , but there were none .
As these entries are updated almost daily & there is no centain time when this happens , we need to know whether there is a mechanish with which we can find the specific program which created the planning file entries .
If we find the program , we can debug it .
As planning file entries are created in a number of cases ( may be creation /changing of master data or transaction data ) , we are totally clueless which standard program or Z program is causing the issue

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.

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

Planning file entry MDAB

Hi All,
I have a pecualir situation.
We have some materials in SAP where in the planning file entry is not created for them automatically. These are semifinished goods and MRP type is PD. This are new materials and are created post go live. I have executed MDAB - Set up planning file entries at plant level and the result said " Number of set planning file entries = 0" and the planning file entries are not created.
My query is why has not the planning file entries created (MRP requirement planning is actiavted at plant level - tcode OMDU).

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 missing for some materials in MD21.

Hi gurus,
when i check the MD21, i found that some materails are not having planning file entries i.e netch and netpl indicator .and because of this we found that these materials are not being in planning.
From my understanding these planning file entries were updated when the material was created.
I am not sure how these entries are missing. Please can any one help me find out the root cause for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Naveen.A

Dear,
Please note MRP has to be activated for plant level before creating materials in OMDU. Then only created materials will have planning file entries.
You can run planning file entries consistency check in background before the MRP run to create/delete the planning file entreies automatically from MDRE/MDAB transactions...This will be useful to avoid the re-planning of the materials ( if planning file entry is not deleted after MRP run) and also to plan material (if planning file entry is not created).

Change Planning file entry

Hi,
How can I change Planning file entry or selection? For a material, earlier I have selected the following in MD20
1. NETCH
2. NETPL
4. Reset order proposal
5. BOM explosion.
Now I want to deselect BOM explosion , how can I do that?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi,
Run MRP in MD02 with Planning mode as 3 - Delete.
This will delete the planning file entry of the material
then create the planning file entry manually by
MD20 - Create planning file entry
MD21 - Display planning file entry
MDAB - Set up planning file entry in background
MDRE -Check planning file entry

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.

Planning File entry is missing

Hi Friends,
I have issues of planning file missing for material from Sales Order. We are using Reorder point planning(ZM) and new Item Category YP19 and No Production involved. I have followign questions.
1. Is Strategy make to order is to be defined in material Master when production is not there ?
2. MDAB / MD20 is mandatory to run every day to get planning file entry ?
3. I nconfiguration in sales distribution, Basic Function, Avaliability check and Transfer requirement, Transfer Requirement, Determination of Requirement types using Transaction, I am not finding the new MRP type, New Item category combination with Requirement type. is this reason for not creating Planing file entry. If so how to configure new Item categorya nd New MRP type in this configuration.
Please confirm to fix the issues.
Rgds
Madhavan

Dear ,
Please find the answer of your query :
1. Is Strategy make to order is to be defined in material Master when production is not there ?
Not really .You can use Planning Startgey 40 in this case .Basically , MTO means for all FG and SFG you will use 20 and dependent you will either keep 10 or blank .
2. MDAB / MD20 is mandatory to run every day to get planning file entry ? : If you have new materials created which have not under gone any MRP run so far , in that case you need to run MDAB/MD20 and carry out consistency check of the planning file MDRE.When ever you have new item created , it should have planning file entry .But when you run MRP , automatically , this planning file entry happens with Processing Key NEUPL.Please note that the PLanning file entry will be reset once the MRP is run. So you will not have an entry. When any change relavant to MRP is done the planning file netry is created automatically. You should then check the planning file before running the MRP.So it is always better to have Planning File Consuistency check before MRP run .
MD20 -- for singal material
MDAB -- Planing file entry in Background
MDRE -- check u r planing file entry here
3. I nconfiguration in sales distribution, Basic Function, Avaliability check and Transfer requirement, Transfer Requirement, Determination of Requirement types using Transaction, I am not finding the new MRP type, New Item category combination with Requirement type. is this reason for not creating Planing file entry. If so how to configure new Item categorya nd New MRP type in this configuration :
I do not think there is a relation between MRP type configuration with Requirement Type from SD.Basically requirement type linked with Planning Startgey Group to link wether we need to consider Customer Requirement or Customer Indepedent requirement with subsequenet set up copied from SD ( Accouting , Requirement Trasfer etc ) .
More oever , you are going to deal with ROP where , procureme nt proposal will triggered once availabity comes down reorder level ( either manul or forecast base automatica ROP) based on fixed recipet -PO,STO,Current stock and Demand -PIR,Sales Order.Now in your case , if you want to consider , Sales Order requirement , then it depnds on your re-order level and available stock .If the Re-order qty more than Sales Order qty , then it will trigger only ROP qty as PR .I think you need to test this scinario with stadars ROP MRP type in sand box and let us knwo your exat requirement in Question 3 .
Hope this is clear

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

Updation of the indicators of NETCH & NETPL in Planning File entry(MD21)

Hi,
Can anyone explain me when the indicators-NETCH & NETPL will be updated in Planning File entry table(tcode-MD21) for a material in a specific plant .
Actually, we observed that these indicators are updated only when we do Goods Issue through backflush during Production order confirmation. If i do goods delivery using tcode-VL01N(mtype 601), these indicators are not updated in planning file entries.Can anyone suggest me what could be the reason for this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please read below information.
"The planning file record for a material also has a u201C_net change planning in the current horizonu201D field which will be set if the change in the materials receipt or issue_ element is valid in the planning horizon. This indicator will help you choose only those materials which have undergone a change in the planning horizon; through the use of a planning key, in an MRP run, called u201CNet change planning in the planning horizonu201D.
Go to below link to understand more. It may solve your problem.
