Re Order Point Based Planning

Dear Experts,
I have maintained Reorder Point Planning Settings (VB) and maintained Reorder Point, Safety Stock, Minimum & Maximum Lot size quantities.
I have total 9000 materials & when I run MRP through MD01, system creating only some requisitions and rest not creating eventhough stock is below Re order point.
What could be the reason & tell what exactly I am missing.
Thanks in advance
Kishore Kumar

Dear Satish,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
My problem is system is creating PR only 10% of the materials. why and what exactly I am missing.
Can explain anybody?

Reg: How to view the PR on the basis of Re-order point based PR

Hi All,
How can i view the Purchase requisition on the basis of Re-order point based PR.
Thanks & Regards

Go to Transaction code ME53N
Under Item Detail find the Tab "Contact Person "
from that you can find Creation Indicator , which is generally B Material Requirement Planning for Re order level planning operation done through planning.
For report You can look at transaction code : ME5A
You can look at Table EBAN and field : ESTKZ

ADVANTAGE OF KANBAN V/S RE-ORDER POINT PLANNING

Hi,
Kindly compare the advantages of procument of certain items (C and B class items) using KANBAN and VB, ie Re-order point planning.
Regards,
Prakash Phadake

Kanban is basicaly a technice used for just in time like if product a is required for shop floor then a request is generated at vendor place ( time in advance = time required to deliver the goods at shop floor )
whihc is time based material consumption,
while
in reorder level, it will check the stock at plant and generate the requirements for a level, which is defined by the planner.
this takes the time required for purchase process.
Hope this helps you, if not please revert.

Planning with Re-order point considering external requirements(MRP type V1)

Dear all,
We are working for a scenario as mentioned below,
We procure some marterial from our vendors, stock it and then sell to other customers.
Here we want to use Re order point planning considering external requirements , i.e. MRP type V1.
We have maintained following master data
MRP type = V1
Re order point quantity
Lot size = HB
Maximum stock level
Planned delivery time.
We have also created source list,Info record and scheduling agreement
We also maintained setting of schedule agreement in source list as 2 (Record relevant to MRP schedule lines generated automatically)
By doing above mentioned things when we run MRP we are getting schedule lines generated through MRP, for the lot size arrived by considering re order level,max. stock level etc.
My requirement is the schedule line that is coming through MRP should get firmed up, whcih is not happening currently.
Pl. guide as what other setting is required for getting firmed schedule lines.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi
Automatic firming of Schedule lines only possible with the settings of Planning time Fence (PTF) in MRP-1 view with MRP type which allows firming . With Standard MRP type V1 it is not possible.
As per my idea , better to create new MRP type in SPRO by copying V1 settings and give Firming type as 1 additionally. Use this new MRP type in the MRP-1 view and give Planning Time Fence say 30.
When u run MRP then the requirements falling within the PTF get firmed Automatically.
Pl try and revert back

Re-order point planning

Dear Sir,
We have configured Re-order point planning. Accordingly we have created
the MRP controller and updated the material master (812 materials) with
all the values required for re-order point planning.
With all these settings, system is not running planning after executing
MD01 (total planning), only planning start and stop time is displayed
as a result. Where as if I run single item, single level planning with
MD03 for the same material, system runs the planning and proposes the
purchase requisition also for that material.
Is the planning file creation is the solution of the issue...
if it is then how to create the planning file for bulk material (800 no approx). Do we need to do create the planning file again and again, if we want to add the mateail in Re-order point planning
Regards,
Sachin

Dear Mr Sachin,
For the materials that are relevant for re-order point planning, the planning file entry will be made automatically by the system when the stock level falls below the "Re-Order point".
Then in the next MRP run procurement proposals will be created for these materials.
Hence unless the stock level falls below the re order point, planning file entries will not be made & system will not create any proposal.

Ramasamy

Re-order Point Planning -- PR

Dear Team,
I have created a Purchase Requisition manually. Same is not being considered for MRP run for re-order point planning.
System is creating new Purchase Requisition when i run MRP.
Where we have gone wrong?
Thanks and Regards,
RC

Dear Chakrapani,
MRP is considering Manually Created PR for one plant. And not considering for some other plant. If Manually created PR are not considered then you will end up in Procuring More material than required.

Manual Re order point planning

Hai Gurus,
I have one doubt regarding manual re order point planning inputs in MRP view.
CASE :1
1) MRP type = VB in MRP - 2 view
2) Lot size = EX
3) Re order point = 10
In this case if MRP or MPS is done on back ground daily , procurement proposal will be created for qty = 10
also if stock goes to 5 , then again after next MRP/MPS run again procurement proposal will be created for qty = 10.
CASE :2
1) MRP type = VB in MRP - 2 view
2) Re order point = 10
3) Lot size = FX
4) Fixed Lot size = 15
In this case If MRP or MPS is done on back ground daily, procurement proposal will be created for qty = 15
also if stock goes to 5 number , then again after next MRP/MPS run again procurement proposal will be created for
qty = 15.
Kindly confirm if I am right.
Regards,
Sekar chand

Sekar,
Case 1 part 1, generally yes.
Case 1 part 2, assume stock of 5 and existing unfirmed proposal of 10, assume that if you run REGEN and MRP parameter delete and recreate, you would get a new proposal.
Case 2 part 1, generally yes.
Case 2 part 2, assume stock of 5 and existing unfirmed proposal of 15, assume that if you run REGEN and MRP parameter delete and recreate, you would get a new proposal.
This topic and related Reorder point topics have been discussed in this and other forums dozens of times. Such scenario questions usually go on and on: 'Yes, but what about this case; yes but what about that case.....etc etc etc.' Such basic questions are generally not the type of questions that these forums are designed to answer. Forums are not a substitute for basic training.
It does not appear that you have diligently searched the forums before posting this question. Moreover, if you spent 10 minutes in a sandbox with these basic scenarios, you would learn more there than by reading a hundred forum posts.
This is my last post in this thread.

Determination of Planned Order Type based on Requirement

How does order type for planned order gets determined?
For example
planning strategy 50, planned order type is VP
planning strategy 10/40, planned order type is LA
planning strategy 20, planned order type is KD
Checked in tcode OPPS & SAP forums, could not able to find how
does system determines planned order type based on type
of requirement i.e. sales order/PIR

Scheduling agreement with Consumption based planning

Dear Experts,
I Have a Scenario,
I need to Bulit a Laptop which is a Finished Material, and the Components like Hardisk, Processor, Ram, Casing, Monitor are my Rawmaterials. By using these rawmaterials we are building the parent material.
My Client requirement is 1) Plan and schedule the requirement
2) Replenish the stock based on consumption based planning.
My query is
1) How should i proceed for mm based procurement ?
2) Does i need to create scheduling agreement for rawmaterials and and maintain schedule lines ?
3) For which materials i need to run the MRP ? weather its parent material or Component material ?
4) What are the sequence of process need to be carried out ?
Required ur valuable inputs on this.
Best Regards

Hi
Consumption based planning and Scheduling agreement are two different functions.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption values and uses the forecast or other statistical procedures to determine future requirements. The procedures in consumption-based planning do not refer to the master production schedule. That is, the net requirements calculation is not triggered either by planned independent requirements or dependent requirement. Instead, it is triggered when stock levels fall below a predefined reorder point or by forecast requirements calculated using past consumption values.
A form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on predetermined dates within a certain time period.
With release documentation (in the standard system, document type LPA)
The schedule lines in the system have internal character. This means that you can change them in any way you wish. The schedule lines stored in the system are not transmitted to the vendor until you explicitly create a scheduling agreement release (which may take one of two forms: a forecast delivery schedule or a JIT delivery schedule).
The release documentation allows you to display the releases transmitted to a vendor over a certain period in order to establish exactly when you transmitted which information to the vendor.
Without release documentation (in the standard system, document type LP)
The schedule lines immediately have official character, i.e. they are immediately transmitted to the vendor the moment you save them (transmission time-spot 4 for messages). There is no release documentation in this case.
It cannot be explained in few lines. You need to study the below link.

Usage of MRP Procedures in Consumption Based Planning during Implementation

We have following procedures in CBP:
1. Reorder Point Planning- Manual and Automatic
2. Forecast based Planning
3. Time phased Planning.
In SAP implementations, which of these procedure is mostly used in companies in real time.
Though the CBP planning node is in MM SPRO and MM study material also contains CBP. During implementations, for CBP the responsibility rests with MM consultant or PP Consultant or both.
Please share your views on this.

Dear ,
Let me share my views on this as we are runing CBP-Forcast base planning in our trading business .
Decision on CBP-Forecast base planning method are based on the following criteria
1.Stockable and low value material
2.Fast Moving with good sales pattern ( Trend Analysis , Historical Trend analysis on Product Group , Statistical Sales analysis )
3.Inventory turn around based on the monthly physical inventory and sales
4.Good service level percentage over an period .
5.Consumption pattern .
Decision on CBP-Re-order point planning method are based on the following criteria
1. Material which are higher valu and Non Stockable
2. Customer oriented traded goods
3. Strategic vendor with good Sales pattern .
4.Re-order Level based on Sales Forecast (Manual or Automatic )
In SAP implementations, which of these procedure is mostly used in companies in real time : It is based on the business requirement (Trading /Manufacturing ) .Mostly Trading business goes for CBP-Forecast Base planning method (MRP Type -VV) IF THE MATERIALS HAS GOOD CONSUMPTION PATTERN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME .
MRP is both the part of Supply Chain Planning and Manufactruing . Material master parameters are maintained by MM .CBP is one kind of MRP where Demand Management comes into PP whereas after MRP run , procurement proposal handeled by MM.So there is no hard and fast rule that it is only part of PP.It is the combination of MM and PP.
Hope this will help you to analysise your requirement .

What setup is require to run a consumption-based planning

Dear all,
I know there is a two way to run Consumption-Based Planning in standard SAP:
1 - Forecast-based Planning, and
2 - Re-order point Planning.
My question is what is the configuration setup and material master value maintenance require for the above two procedures?
Thanks
Tuffy

In Material Master
MRP 1 view choose the
MRP type
VB - Manual reorder point or
VM - automatic reorder point
Reorder point

MRP based planning

hi guys,
what is MRP based planning and why it is used?Under what conditions do we go for MRP based plannig for procurement of materials?

I will suggest you to read the SAP help on MRP first.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d3f9344af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Anyway i am trying to explainn you this functionality:
The Concept Of MRP in SAP
MRP in brief :
MRP is the planning tool in SAP which will look at all aspects of a material and is highly based upon the master data of the material. MRP looks at current inventory, current requirements, open purchase req/orders and so on. So if a material is required to satisfy a sales order and there is no inventory, MRP will create a planned order if the item is to be produced in house. This planned order can then be converted to a production order by the master scheduler. If the item is to be procured, then MRP will create a purchase req which the Buyer will convert to a purchase order. This is just one scenario, the system is highly configurable and will do pretty much whatever you tell based on config and master data.
Consumption based planning
- Reorder planning
- Forecast based planning
- Time phased planning
Details of re-order planning
Our motive is to maintain optimum stock level of all the material included in the resource planning. so in this user or system sets a particular quantity of stock as reorder point . Whenever stock quantity fall below this point(reorder point) mrp comes into action and generates procurement proposals according to the settings done in implementation guide
MRP run procedure
1. Create requirement or demand in MD61
2. MRP run by MD02 for a single material
3. See the result in stock requirement list in MD04.
MRP run we can carry out by
1. MD02 - single item multi level
2 .MD03 - single item single level
3 .MD01 - Total planning
4. MD04 Check MRP
5. MD05 MRP lists

Consumption-based Planning Question

Dears,
I am working on a presentation for a client in order to help them to decide which SAP Planning Tool should be implemented.
Since it is not a production company and it can be considered closer to a wholesale or retail one my question are related to CBP and SCM:
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)? Are they independent? Could it be advisable?
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant. Has CBP the same constraint?
Thank you very much for your help.
L.C.

L.C.,
-Is necessary to customize and run the Consumption-based Planning tool in ERP before implementing a SCM tool (either APO or F&R)?
Not exactly. You will have to do some customization in ERP regardless of whether you additionally implement SCM planning, because all of the execution is done in the OLTP (ERP).
Are they independent?
If you mean are ERP and SCM independent, the answer is yes, they are independent. You can run SCM without ERP, and you can run ERP without SCM.
Could it be advisable?
Good question. Depends on your point of view. Establishing a new implementation of CBP is a substantial project. Adding on an implementation of SCM means additional complexity. The payoff is more features. The client has to choose.
-I read in several website that is not possible in MRP to generate Stock Transfer Orders between Storage Location within the same plant.
Neither MRP nor CBP planning can create stock transport orders, they create stock transport requisitions. CBP does not have any more or less restrictions than MRP as far as the creation of stock transport orders or stock transport requisitions are concerned. STR/STOs between storage locations became possible starting, I believe, in ECC 5.0. R/3 4.7 did not support this feature.
Sounds like you are going to need a bit of help with your presentations. The following site contains quite a few high level presentations about SCM planning you might want to incorporate into your presentation:

Order qty Based on ROH qty

Hi I want to round off my order qty based on ROH. Say ROH is available multiples of 0.6 TONS.My Fert is need to plan so to that it consumes 0.6 ,1.2 , 1.8 etc TONS.
Without using Material-Qty calculatiuon is it possible?? Because I am using Discrete Mfg.

Hi,
You must be having the Lot-size as EX.
In this situation, For your lot size : EX, in OPI4, Activate the MTO Lot size as "1" (Lot-for-lot with Rounding).
Maintain the Rounding Value in MRP1 View.
Now the Order will be created with Multiples of your rounding Value.
Hope this helps..

Siva

MRP Type VV - Forecast Based Planning

Hi all,
My company would like to look at MRP Type "VV" - Forecast Based Planning (under Consumption-based Planning) for FG production materials.    I've read quite a bit about the concept and some based set up to how it works.   We would like to base Planned Orders > Production Orders based on this type of forecast planning.   It seem that SAP advises this kind of plannig for Raw Materials but not FG.   Anyway, what I really need to know are the specifics of how you set up the master data (in the Material Master) to properly execute this type of MRP: like....
MRP Type: VV
Lot Size: EX
Period Ind: W
Availability Check: 02
Forecast Period:   12
Periods per Season: 12
Historical periods: 60
other fields I'm not sure......
RP Profile: ??
Forecat Profile: ??
what else......?
Also, what is the recommended approach to convert this forecast plan into Planned requirements to be converted to Production Orders?
I appreciate any further information I can get on MRP Type "VV" and how it works.   I appreciate your input!

Thanks for the info nudratmaab.    Can you provide further data on what to expect given this forecast.....say I pick MVGA (Moving Average Forecast)? So I enter some consumption (say last 12 months) and run forecast (MP38).    The MD04 shows the average requirement per "W" bucket:
02/23/2012     ForReq     W 08/2012                16-
02/27/2012     ForReq     W 09/2012               116-
03/05/2012     ForReq     W 10/2012               116-
03/12/2012     ForReq     W 11/2012               116-
03/19/2012     ForReq     W 12/2012               116-
03/26/2012     ForReq     W 13/2012               116-
04/02/2012     ForReq     W 14/2012               116-
04/09/2012     ForReq     W 15/2012               116-
04/16/2012     ForReq     W 16/2012               116-
04/23/2012     ForReq     W 17/2012               116-
04/30/2012     ForReq     W 18/2012               116-
05/07/2012     ForReq     W 19/2012               116-
The next part is where it is a little foggy for me.   For "VV" do I run WRP1 (Replenishment) or do I run MD02/ 03 (MRP) and then what is the ForReq converted to (or does it even convert)?   I'm looking to implement this for Production Planning Requirements for Finished Produced products (I need them to convert to PldOrd (Planned Orders) to be converted to PrdOrd (Production Orders) by production scheduler.
The second part of this is the Raw Material (BOM component) associated with these Finished Goods. THese BOM components are set up as MRP Type "PD" and Lot size "EX" and I was hoping that the FG MRP run would also do BOM explosion and drive requirements for the Raw Material as well.....I'm not seeing that.
I need professional / expert to tell me how this works:    So MRP Type "VV" & Lot Size "EX" for the Finished Goods.......and MRP TYpe "PD" & Lot Size "EX" for the Raw Material (BOM Component).....
THanks again!!
