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

Planning File Entry Not Created For MRP Run

We are running MRP in backgroung at MRP area level as per scheduled. One material is missing from MRP run. We are expecting that we should get the proposals because stock is zero ( below reorder level) on the date of sheduled MRP run. Earlier it is working.The material MRP relevant data is given below.
MRP Type - VB
Reorder Level - 6
Lot Size - Fx
Fixed Lot Size - 10
Minimun Safety Level - 10
Please help us to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance. For any clarofiaction, pls revert back.

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.
thanks and regards

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 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 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

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

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

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.
Regards.

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

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 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

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?

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

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)
