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.

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).

  • 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,

    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.

  • No Planning file entry created  for the Rervation

    Hi PM Gurus,
    When we create a maintenance order, for the component the Reservation is created. The components is externally procured with the some planned delivery dates. but during the MRP run these Planned Orders are not converted to PReqs automatically. checking the planning file entry there in no planning file entry created therefore MRP has not considered it.
    Now we are using MD15 to collectively convert the Planned Orders to PReqs.
    The Item category of these spare parts are "L". Please suggest if what configurations are to be checked, maintained in order for MRP generate the PReqs from the Planned Orders.
    Thanks,
    Nag

    Hi,
    MRP does not convert planned orders into purchase requisitions. MRP creates one of the procurement proposals, planned orders or purchase requisitions, according to the parameters you run it. Check out the parameters of your MRP run, you need to select create purchase requisitions and delete old procurement proposals to fulfill your requirement.

  • 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

  • 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 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 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,

  • 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?

  • 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
    Regards

  • 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!
    matthias

    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.

  • List of material for those planning file entry is generated through MDAB.

    Hi Friends,
    Can we get a list of materials for those planning file entry is generated through background job using t-code MDAB.
    Right now we can find the count of material only ...

    Hi ,
    Thanks for looking into this.
    In MDRE  we can only get this message :
    Number of set planning file entries :  _____
    And in table DBVM we can get the complete list of material irrespective of fact that Planning file entry is earlier maintained or not.
    I only want to find the material list whose entry is not there but maintained by the batch job.

  • No Planning file entry when materials received against production order

    Hi,
    Planning file entry is not getting created when I receive material from a Purchase order where account assignment category is 'F' - Order. In other words, the material is received against a Production Order.
    We run MRP automatically through MD01 and it will not run for the material as there are no planning file entries.
    MRP List MD06 shows the purchase requisition and the production order even though the production order requirement has been met.
    Please help me out with this issue. I really appreciate the help the community members have given me earlier regarding my questions related with the planning file.
    Sincerely,
    Ketan

    Hi Dhaval,
    1st Scenario
    When I receive material through a Purchase order and receive it into stock, then MRP is able to run because planning file entries are created when I receive the material and clear out the MRP list as the requirements have been met.
    2nd Scenario
    When I receive material through a Purchase order and directly against a Production order (Direct Procurement) , then MRP is not able to run as planning file entries have not been created even if the requirements have been met.
    How can I prevent the 2nd scenario in future where production order and purchase requisition exist in the MRP List but since the material has been received against a production order therefore MRP will not run and clear out the MRP List?
    Sincerely,
    Ketan

  • 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

    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 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.

    Did you check the Cost for all the Planned Workplan Budget Lines. Generally, this type of error comes when the Quantity is defined but the Cost is missing for any Line. Find that Planned Workplan Budget Lines and enter the Cost for them and save it.
    I hope it may help you.
