Re-order point VB vs V1
Dear SAP expert,
I have confusion about the difference of VB (manual re-order point) and V1 (manual re-order point WITH external requirement).
I have this material A
Max stock level = 100
re-order point = 50
stock = 30
Reservation = 50 (today)
lot size = HB
Using VB, I understand that it always create PR = 70, as SAP will try to reach max stock level,
But using V1, it also create PR = 70, when I thought it shoud create PR of 70 + 50 = 120 (reaching max stock level and to satisfy requirement, where as I understand V1 should take external requirement).
As it create PR = 70, it seems that there is no difference between VB and V1.
However IF I increate the reservation to be 51, and running the MRP, i got PR = 71, and when I increase reservaton to be 60, and running the MRP, I got PR = 60.
It seems that IF reservation > re-order point, then SAP will increate the PR quantity, in which I dont really understand the logic used in here.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Best regards,
John
Hi JJ,
Each MRP type is defined under each MRP procedure.PD is defined with MRP procedure 'D' (Material Requirement planning) and VB is defined with MRP procedure B (Reorder point Planning).

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,
SandeepHi
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

Thanks & Regards
Kannan SomasundaramGo 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

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,
SachinDear 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.

Missing bonus pre-order points
I pre-ordered Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. The points for my purchase have posted, but not the bonus pre-order points.
Hello Lgndryhr,
I've had the chance to review your account and regrettably must inform you that you have not received a pre-order bonus certificate because you ordered your copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on the game's release date (11/03/2014). Remember that customers must both pre-order an eligible title prior to its release date and subsequently purchase that copy to qualify for our Get $10 promotion. For more information, I would encourage you to refer to this article:
My Best Buy "Get $10" Gaming Pre-Order Offer
Thanks for purchasing your copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare with us, as well as for taking the time to post!

Extractor for Re-Order Point from MARD
Hi There,
Is there a standard extractor for Re-Order point (Field MINBE) from Table MARD ?
I know we can obtain ROP from MDMA, but we would like to use the ROP from MARD
The reason I ask is because if there exist a standard extractor for this, then i dont have to worry about the capturing the delta`s for ROPsThanks guys,
However, the reason I ask for a standard extractor for ROP in MARD is because there are some bespoke developments being done in ECC which only populates to the Field MBIELN in MARD
Although I can create a customised view on the table MDMA and MARD to get this, however how can i create Delta which is triggered based on the change of the ROP ?
Any thoughts on this please ? -
Hello SAP experts, hope you are well, i have i question, if i have implemented a reorder point planning in my materials is there a way that the planner can get an e-mail or notification that any of his materials has gone bellow the reorderpoint?? so that he can now know that there is a problem with that material, thank you in advance.
Hi,
I can think of 2 things which might be of help.
1. Use workflows to send mails
2. Use a z report to list out all re-order point planned materials with their stocks.
For option 1 you would need to refer to a workflow consultant who can set up the mailing (apologies i cant be of much help in this as i have not done it before).
For option 2, what you can do is ask your abaper to develop a Z report for your need. Ask him / her to read the material master data from MARC table & for all re-order planned materials read the field MARC-DISMM with value as VB (manual re-order point) or VM (auto re-order point) or if you have a custom mrp type, then read the same.
Now for each of the re-order planned materials, read the stock from MARD table & check if the stock is below the re-order point, if it is not below then you might choose not to display it, while displaying only those which are below.
Also if you need some additional info, the same can be displayed in the report. Now schedule the report to run every night after MRP run, so in the morning the planners can read the output & carry out their activities. Also they can run it during the day to get real-time info.
Hope the above helps.

Re-order point...
Hi,
What is different between manual and automatic re order point..? and which scenerios we can use manual and automatic re order point..?
Thnaks & Regards,

Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master. As long as the available stock is fallen down the reorder point, then system will generate the purchasing requisition after MRP-Run
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program. The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master. Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
That's it. Hope can help you!
Good day

Hello
How MRP will perform for re-order point , for example i want to use PD instead of VB .What will be the effect ? . Any SAP Recommendation , OSS notes will be highly appreciated
Thanks

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,
RCDear 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.

Suppression of Re-Order Point Safety Stock Exception Messages
Hi There!
Hope someone can help!?
I need to be able to suppress MRP Exception Message 96 - Qty Under Safety Stock but for PD Only.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
KarlHi There!
We have lots of Raw materials controlled by MRP Type PD, which have Safety Stock Value.
However, quite often although the actual stock is lower than the Safety stock Planners have lots of messages (96 - Below safety stocks). However, although Purchase order reciepts may be late, there isn't actually a problem. As When the PO Reciepts actually happen there is enough stock to satisfy actual demand.
We would like to put many of these Raw materials on Re-Order Point Planning, and manage. But we would like to ignore the (96 - Below Safety Stock) for Normal Items.
Hence, Planners have exception messages for REAL Priorities.
Hope this explains all!
Cheers,

Is possible to maintain MRP type as PD with re-order point?
Hi guru,
my user maintain material master of one raw material like this
MRP type : PD
Safety Stock : 1000
Lot Size : MB
Minimum Lot size : 3000
as they maintain safety stock 1000 , this will last long for 10 days and this material's lead time in purchasing for 12-15 day.
When they run for MRP and check in MD04. they give me requirement like this.
"when i run MRP, I want system to create PR when this material's stock fall under 3000"
So i suggest they to change from PD to VB for use re-order point . but they not agree with my suggest because they want to see dependent requirement list when check in MD04 and their reason is...
"My material usage can't predictable so i can't forecast"
when i suggest them to add re-order point to safety stock. as alway, they disagree.
so i think, is it possible to use PD or other type of MRP that show list of dependent requirement with able to use re-order point? if it's possible, How?
any suggestion is fine. point for useful answer
regards,
Kittisak.BDear,
If your user is willing to have requirement below 3000 then you should ask him to keep Safety stock as 3000 only & not 1000 because there is no meaning in keeping it 1000.You keep safety stock 3000 so as soon as stock is falling below 3000 system will generate procurement element ( requirement) in next MRP run.So even there is no need to maintain reorder point planning VB as MRP type as your user is not willing for it.
Else you can maintain VB and reorder point as 3000 which will also furnish you the same result.In that case safety stock has not much significance.However if you maintain safety stock more than or equal to reorder point then it will serve your purpose.There is no meaning putting it below reorder point.
Hope this helps resolve your problem.
Revert with more details in case any doubt.

Regarding Re Order Point setting
Hi Experts,
I am in to an implemenation project.i requir that all of my raw/input material should have a automatic re-order point.Sp whenever their stocks go below certain level automatic procurment is done.i.e. Purchase requisition is raised by the system itself.
Second I am not able to configure the shift into my workcentre.I have done all the seetings going through a link in sdn only.
like: i have created a grouping key.
defined the break key
defined the **** definition
defined the shift sequence.
i am then assigning this grouping key to the workcenter & taking the active version but i am only to see one shift in worcenter in the shift & interval pushbutton.
Please guide me
Regards,
VivekVivek,
For your second query
Have you maintained the shift definition key in the Intervals & shifts screen?check n revert
For re order point

Dear Friends ,
I am looking for information on following scenario .
Client is into after sales service .
While servicing any machine, engineer requires a new product or refurbished product to replace a defective one.
There is a central plant ( main store) which holds new products and refurbished products . Based on replinishment order ( Stock transport orders ) raised by
MRP in engineer plant , central plant will dispatch the materials to engineer location. Engineer consumes the product during his service and MRP will check re-order point and set back the stock by generating requirement.
MRP will replinish all the components which fall below reorder point.
While servicing engineer may use New product or defective product depending on the situation . In those cases which ever products are consumed , MRP will replenish .
Our Client requires a new rule to be set in MRP , ie , combination of New Product and Refurbished Product goes below Re-order point , then replinish the required products from Main store based on availability.
This is basically to control usage of refurbished products .
Is there any way to achieve the same ?
Thanking You ,
SudhakarHi YMREDDY ,
Thanks for your response .
Is there any other way it can be handled ?
Any new proposal !
Thanking You ,

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 chandSekar,
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.
