Procurement Without MRP Run

Hello,
Can anybody explain how the procurement process is done where company is not running MRP periodicaly?

Hi,
Basically MRP is the process which compares the requirement with the available stock and if there exists any shortfall will raise the procurement proposals.
How ever based upon the requirement for the material one go for manual creation of the PO based upon the PR created and procuring the material using the PO and made available this material by making the GR.This is the usual normal process.

Automatic Purchase Requisition using Reorder Point without MRP Run

Dear Freinds,
My client wants Purchase Requisition should be automatically created as soon as the stock falls below reorder level without MRP run.
Is this possible? if possible then what are the settings required.
Thanks
Prashant Atri

Dear,
It is not possible in standard SAP.
What is the problem to take MRP run?
You can take the MRP run in background through MDBT so system will create automatic Purchase Requisition using Reorder Point.
Hope clear to you.

Secondary packing material procurement through MRP Run

Hi
Is it possible to procure Secondary packing material through MRP Run. Material type of Secondary packing material is VERP. In MRP view we defined MRP type as VB and reorder point also set.

Hi
the MRP run would create a procurement proposal if the stock has fallen below the re-order point. The procurement proposal needs to be a purchase requisition if procurement should start immediately (see Creation indicators for the MRP group). Further, you need to set the "automatic purchase order" indicator both on the material (purchasing view) and on the vendor. In the MRP run, the system also needs to be able to assign a vendor (i.e. through a source list). Then a purchase requisition is automatically converted into a purchase order on creation.
Good luck

Dear All,
My client's requirement is they need to run MRP on plant level without considering one storage location stock

Reg.MRP Run without sale order

Dear Experts
We are in need of MRP run without sale order. I have created Finished product material (T-Shirt) and assigned components to that and then I ran MRP, If I do so, MRP is exploded but result is not satisfied some non components are displayed.
What is my requirement is ,when I run MRP if there is stock availble production order should be created otherwise Material requirement has to created.
Pls help what is the configuration for MRP run,
Thanks
Rajakumar.K

Hi Raja,
One of your requirements isn't available in R/3.
What is my requirement is ,when I run MRP if there is stock availble production order should be created otherwise Material requirement has to created.
Standard MRP will create Dependent requirements (demand elements). MRP will create order PROPOSALs (purchase reqs or planned orders)(supply elements). MRP can be immediately followed by an additional program that will convert planned orders to Production orders. All these things are possible.
However, MRP will not check for the availability of components, and then selectively create production orders. Availability check, which is not part of MRP, is usually performed at a later part of the production order cycle.

Parallel MRP run for Internally and Externally procured materials

Hello all,
we want to run MRP with different settings for externally procured materials (create purchase Requisition) and internally produced materials. The choices provided my MRP run is either create planed order or Requisitions when run background. Is the activation of user exit M61X0001 the solution to this issue? I can recall that we had done this is some project in the past, not 100% sure to be sincere. Can anyone help on this?
Thank you for any help.

Re: mass MRP run

Schedule Lines are not getting generated after MRP run.

Hi,
I have an issue where a SA exists for the parent material with item category L (subcontracting). The parent material has a valid BOM and some sub components as well. I see in CS03 that BOM is fine with validity dates for the parent material. A valid source list also exists for the parent material where SA is present as the source of supply with MRP indicator as 2. Now when i run MRP for the parent material using MD02 (NETCH), with indicators as below:
Create pur.req. 2
Schedule lines 3
Create MRP list 1
Planning mode 1
i don't see any schedule lines in MD04. Instead it creates a PR that too without any source of supply.
In master data for the parent material MRP type is PD with Procurement type F and special procurement key 30. I have checked and every thing seems to be fine still MRP run doesn't create schedule lines.
Any help is appreciated. I can give more info if required.
Thanks.

Dear Rakesh,
Scheduling agreement:An outline agreement against which materials are procured at a series of
predefined points in time over a certain period.
1.For this you have to first use ME31L for creating scheduling agreement and then ME38 for maintaining scheduling agreemnet
schedule.
2.Ensure in the source list after maintaining the material,vendor combination the setting for MRP relevancy is set to 2 - Record
relevant to MRP,Schedule line generated automatically.
Moreover you have to use value 3 for delivery schedule line which is one of the MRP control parameter while taking MRP run.
So for the materials for which scheduling agreement exists,schedule lines will be generated.
Check and revert back.

MRP Run in an excluded Storage Location

Hello all. I have this situation.
I have material X with two storage locations: SL01 and SL02. Storage location SL01 has 15 pieces and SL02 has 5 pieces. In MD04, I can see a total of 20 pieces under the "Stock" MRP Element.
Material X also has five Order Reservations (OrdRes), for 5 pieces each. These Order Reservations are assigned to Storage Location SL02, because stock is procured from there.
What I want is to have the "Stock" line only show me the stock of SL01 (Stock = 15 pieces). I want SAP to "ignore" whatever it has in SL02 and only consider the stock in SL01, so MRP Run would give a proposal of 5 pieces.
I tried deactivating SL02 in Material Master MRP4 for material X, but then the MRP Run doesn't generate any proposals because my reservations are in SL02, and it's deactivated. Even if my Availability Check is set not to look at "storage location", if I the requirement is in SL02, it won't propose anything.
Is there any other solution to my problem? How can I have the system ignore the stock in SL02, but still propose those 5 pieces I'm missing in SL01?

Sorry, but your logic is not clear to me...
your stock:
5 pcs (SL02) + 15 (SL01) = 20 pcs
your requirements
5 x 5 pcs (SL02) = 25 pcs
Procurment proposal (w/o excluding SLoc):
20 pcs (stock) - 25 pcs (requirements) = -5 pcs > procurement proposal 5 pcs
You are saying:

So, you can see MRP will give a procurement proposal of 5 pcs without any SLoc exclusion...
Please clarify your requirement / business process. Why don't you want to consider the stock in Sloc2? What is your process?
You can see that you cannot exclude a SLoc with Sloc MRP and still consider the requirements relevant to that SLoc (unless you use reorder point planning in that SLoc).

Schedule line date changes after each MRP run

Dear Experts,
Clarification needed on how the system plans the MM schedule lines.
Setting: Start in the past not allowed.
3 days for processing of order
The issue is after each MRP run the system is moving the schedule line to the current date + 3 days for processing + the planned delivery time.
If the schedule line is not firmed, after each MRP run ( which happens everyday) the system is moving the schedule line and then giving an alert saying the " order has to be rescheduled to the previous day"
on the second day after the mrp run the system moves the schedule line again by one more day and gives the rescheduling date as " -2 days from today"
this change is happening every day after the planning run. - because of this there are really no backorders ( schedule line in the past ) in the system. we were not able to know if the vendor is actually delayed in this case.
can you kindly suggest what went wrong here ??
we are using strategy 10 for the planning of procured parts. Let me know if more info is needed.
Note: we are also using stock transfer process for some procured parts. there too the PR date gets changed after each MRP run. There there is no lead time in this case. the order is placed on the same day as the requirement as both plants are nearby. There the PR date is changing everyday to the current date.
your advice would be of great help
thanks
Nagendra Kumar

Hi Caetano,
thanks for your suggestion
Yes, we use firm zone for few of the vendors. there the system don't change the schedule lines.
Also for the stock transfer PR's there is no firm zone and the lead time is one day. in this case it changes everyday after the MRP run.
the stock transfer PR's leads to the creation of Schedule lines from the source plant. Since this PR gets changed everyday. the alerts coming out of MD07 gets changed and we really did not know if this order is delayed or not. In the source plant we use the firm zone to avoid moving the schedule line. But then the alerts are always not correct.
is there any setting which helps in not moving the PR everyday without using " start in the past"
thanks
Nagendra Kumar

MRP RUN- KIT BOM explosion not working

We setup one layer BOM’s for our maintenance KITs as parent material and components as child material. For example KIT is TS10000-K1 and components are TS10001, TS10002 etc setup as next layer with in the BOM. Both KITS and components are defined as material types ERSA (Spare parts). These one layers BOMs are setup as production BOMs and expected to create purchase requisitions for KITS and components by exploding BOMs during MRP runs. We use purchase requisitions and convert them into POs to procure both KITS and components. We DO NOT USE Panned orders and Production orders.
The safety stocks / reorder point are considered as demand for KITS and components as we do not have any external demand for KITS and components.
MRP run is creating purchase requisitions automatically for both KITS and components as per safety stocks and reorder point defined in MRP Views of Material Master. This is working as expected.
The issue is: KIT BOM’s are not exploding to generate purchase requisitions for the dependent components of KIT BOM. Please suggest the way to resolve this issue.
Split valuation: Also we plan to use split valued KITS with both new and refurbished. So we need BOM explosion for split valued KITS
also (after the 1st issue is resolved).
I verified the following items to make sure the required configuration and data setup is defined correctly.
1) Planning file activated Plant - OMDU
2) Executed MRP run with Total Planning - MDBT and MD02 (single item, multiple levels)
3) BOM explosion for MRP activated- OS23
4) MRP type in MRP1 view- PD and VB (I tried both separately but BOM is not exploding).
5) Procurement type “F” (MRP 2 view) and lot size “EX”
6) Planning strategy in MRP 3 view (tested w/o planning strategy and with strategies 10 and 40. But BOM is not exploded)
7) BOM status and usage (status is active and usage is for production-CS02 and OS20)
8) BOM Validity date (Valid)
9) BOM structure in CS12 (BOM is exploding in CS11)
10) Availability check
11) Selection of BON ID to have BOM usage indicator assign (OS31).
12) No alternate BOMs or production versions or work scheduling view are used.
Please review the above 2 issues and suggest any workable solution. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I extensively used MRP with multi-level BOM explosion in my earlier projects without any issue. However the above issue is a bit strange why one layer BOM is not exploded in this case.
Regards
Srini

Hi
Thanks for your response. I reviewed all SAP notes and none of them are applicable to my scenario.
1808396 - BOM changes not considered by MRP: I have not changed BOMs.
1781324 - MD11: Valid BOM alternative is not found. We do not have alternative BOMs.
1791009 - No BOM explosion after changing production version: We am not using production versions.
Our Material KITS are PM spare assemblies set up as BOMs and consists of individual spare parts as components. We are creating purchase requisitions and not planned orders. We are not using PP functionality/Production orders.
MRP is generating purchase requisitions for KITS and components as per ROP and safety stocks. In other words it is working as expected. The issue is BOMs which are parent assemblies are not exploding to the next lower level components.
Please note that I am not getting any error messages when MRP is executed.
Regards
Srini.

After firming planned order, new planned order is generating in MRP run

Hi Experts,
I am using SAP AFS. Planning strategy is 21- MTO with Project settlement. MRP type is PD. Lte size is EX. Procurement type is X.
We are using the production versions. Individual / collective reqmts is 1. Planning time fence is not maintained.
In sap AFS T.Code for MRP run is /n/afs/md02. After receiving the Sales order, MD04 screen gets updated accordingly and I am running the MRP.Planned orders are generated accordingly. I am firming the planned order manually through MD04. The satr mark is also appearing.
My problem starts now. If I am running the MRP again for the same requirements another planned order of the same qty. is getting generated. That means after the second MRP run, I am having two planned orders (one firmed plnd order) and second is the new planned order. My requirement is that MRP should not generate any new Plnd. order / PR's if there is no new Sales order.
The parameters for MRP run are "1" for "Create PR's", '1" for "Plng Mode" and '"1" for "scheduling ".
I have tried in all the possible ways, but of no use. Still new plnd order is generated after firming the 1st plnd. order in MRP run.

Thanks all for your feedback..
@ Vishal
1. Yes, Both Old firmed planned order and newly generated planned order have the same grid value
2. For both the planned orders :
Special Stock is E u2013 Orders on hand,
Consumption is V,
Sales order is the same (As we are using MTO , Strategy 21) and same WBS element.
3. First planned order is not in the assigned tab of MD04. This means that has been allocated to some object. u2013 I didu2019nt got this point. Can u please elaborate?
@ Nikhil
1. Quantity of sales order is not reducing after firming the sales order
2. Account assignment category for both the planned orders is u201CZu201D - Indiv.cust./project
I have made some more observations and found the following differences between the two planned orders
From MD04 , keep the cursor on corresponding planned order
& click on upward arrow ( available on bottom side of the report).
It will show what will be the originating requirements i e. for which requirements this planned order generated.
For Firmed planned order it is taking me to screen u201CPegged Requirements

Exclusion of Stock Transport specific MRP Elements from MRP Run

Hi,
How can we exclude specific MRP Elements from planning?
I want to exclude the MRP elements like - Ord.DS, PRqRel, PlORel etc from MRP run.
(After MRP run, they should only be displayed in MD04 and not planned)
MRP run should treat all other MRP elements normally.
Warm Regards,
Madhavi.

I think I understand what you want to do, and I think it is not possible without some major MODIFICATIONS, because it goes against the grain of what MRP is supposed to do: balance demand and supply.
One thing you might consider as a possible work-around: create a "virtual plant" say 5000, that is a plant that isn't really used for anything. Then point your special procurement keys in plant 2000 to plant 5000. This is where you then get the purchase req releases etc, and they will not affect plant 1000.
This doesn't require modifications... but it will also not display the elements in MD04 for plant 1000.
Just an idea...

MRP RUN ON PURCHASE ORDER

Hello
i want to run mrp for inter plant purchase order, in this case i don't want to create sales order for the purchase order received from alternate plant, is it possilble to run mrp on all purchase order item without creating sales order to it?
Regards
Nishj

Hi,
I think a STO (Stock Transport Order) flow should meet your need.
In OMD9 define a special procurement key for plant which is sending you the PO.
For the special proc key maintain Proc type as F, Spl. prc type as U, then specify Plant - 2 in plant field.
In MRP - 2 view of the mtl in Plant - 1 maintain this special procurement key.
Now when MRP runs in plant - 1, it will generate a stock transport requisition for Plant - 2.
In Plant - 2 maintain a procurement key say E if its in-house. Run MRP for plant - 1 first followed by Plant - 2.
This way you wont have to follow the PO - SO flow.
Hope it is clear.
Regards,
Vivek
