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.
Regards

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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

MRP Run - Planning file entry Issue

Dear All,
We are facing one problem in MRP Run. We run MRP in the background for a plant (MDBT) System is not creating planned order for few component. I have checked all relevant setting. I found that planning file entry is missing. I would like to know that how system can miss the material? How system creates & delete planning file entry ? I have some data related to this.
Last MRP run date is 22-04-09
PIR changed date on 30-04-09
MDRE Run on the 30-.4-09 at night.
MRP Run on 02-05-09 at night.
Problem reported that no planned order for the material on 07-05-09.
We have huge number of material so its difficult to check all material individually whether MRP run happend or not ?
Please let me know the possible reason for this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear,
If you carte materaial or uplod materail before activation plant for MRP this may be the cause for this.
Planning File creates all the materials relevant for the planning run.
The planning run and the scope of the planning run (which materials are planned in which planning run) are controlled by the planning file.
For planning file entry use the following transactions,
MD20 : Create planning file entry
MD21 : Display planning file entry
MDAB : Set up planning file entry in background
MDRE : Check planning file entry Please run this in it will solve your problem
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. After MRP run system delete the planning file entry. And again material gone the changes like GI GR on any other demand then system generate planning file enty again.
Hope it will help you to understand basic concept.

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.

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 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).
