Regarding MRP elements-SimReq,SimOrd

Hi,
We have MRP elements SimReq and SimOrd in MS05. Can anyone explain what exactly these mean and how can we simulate the same in Quality or Development system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
SImReq & SimOrd are meant for Simulative Planning i.e. Simulative planning is part of long term planning which is overall check of your mfg. facility in order to check whether it is feasible to fulfill certain targets in available capacity or not. Accordingly Manufacturing , Sales & other relavant functions are planned for longer runs.
This is however rough cut planing and as other friends told simulative MRP elements are not relavant for normal MRP / CRP. These are just to have rough cut estimate of mfg. & delivering capability of organisation to formulate broader plans for longer periods say for 12 months or more.
Hope this clears your doubts.

Tejas

Sale Order # - MRP element missing in MD04

Hi,
I created an SO with a material, for which planning was not done in MRP view. Later I changed the schedule line category from CN to CP in VA02. Then MRP run is carried out for that particular plant (1001) . IN MD04, i could able to get the details of that particular SO except the MRP element Data . SO # is missing.
Regards,

Hi,
Sale order no. is missing., say 3820. All the details of this SO is furnished properly in line, but the SO # column is blank. And to give you an extra detail, all other SO # for this particular material is displaying in its corresponding column.
In my observation, if some changes (like changing the schedule line category, order reason), doing such changes effects in displaying the SO # in MD04.
Pl do help me to display it and could anyone pl tell me what will be the reason for this blank column.
Regards,

In MD05 system show message "The MRP element no longer exist".

Hi Guru,
Need some help .
In MD04 transaction contain Purchase order, when I double click purchase order,It will get open . But when I open same purchase order in MD05 system show message u201CThe MRP element no longer exist".
Please help me , if any know the solution or any input. Open purchase order in system.
Regards
PNU

PNU,
I don't believe this is the same Purchase order.
Review closely order number/item number/schedule number. I believe you will see that the old entry (MD05) no longer exists, and has been replaced with a similar item.

Intra company STO- MRP element reservations

Dear All'
I request your help to resolve following issue.
I have created Intra company STOs based on different plant's requirements. say PO# 1, 2, 3...100.
The system is reserving available qty based on POs in sequence. When I process PO# 56 for example, when doing PGI in VL02N, the system is throwing error saying deficit of qty in stock.
But I can see stock as available in MMBE, but in mD04, mrp elements are created based on POs created earlier.
But business needs can be, I can process any PO first for delivery and PGI based on urgency.
Request you help in this regard.
Best Regards
Rahul

Hi Maria,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have checked ATP, that is not activated.

Reg creation of MRP element

Dear all,
Where can we create MRP elements for ex BH for process order, we can check in MD04 but i want to know where they are created
Regards
Venkat

Venkat,
If you are talking about creating a new type of MRP element, this generally cannot be done. I believe the only way implement a new element would be to modify all existing programs that manage this field.
I have never heard of 'BH' for process order, the standard MRP element for Process order has already been assigned to 'BR'.
There is a configuration where you are permitted to assign different text elements (human-readable names) to existing MRP elements OMD5.

How to get MRP elements - quantity received/required

Hi all
I have a report and I need it to show the quantity received/required for each material in a plant due to MRP execution.
Basically something like MD04 showing each MRP element entry (Deliv., OI-SL, Order, etc) but a sum of quantity received and required
Do anyone knows a function, bapi, or other that can helps calculate this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sometime ago I were asked to solve a similar problem.
Just try FM 'MD_ABBL_REPORTING', see if this FM meets your requirements.
Hope it helps!

MRP elements

Dear all,
The MRP run creates different procurement proposals like purchase order or planned order. I am doing MRP run in plant A for a finished material with SPK 40 (procurement from plant B). The MRP run is giving me purchase requisitions in plant A. In plant B I am getting the MRP element PRqRel (Release order for a stock transfer requisition) and planned orders for the same quantity. Is the MRP element PRqRel correct? If I want the system to propose the MRP element as TrnReq (Transfer requirements WMS) instead of PRqRel what can I do?
thanks and regards,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Raghu Ram wrote:
I understand that I am getting the correct requirement in terms of quantity. My question is about MRP elements. There are a lot of MRP elements available. Why the system is chosing only PRqRel as the MRP element. If I want the system to show another MRP element TrnReq in the place of PRqRel, what can I do?
What is the use of so many MRP elements?
TIA
Raghu
I have a similar query and requirment, I wants to understand the MRP Element TrnReq Functionality and when it comes means in which scenario?
Did you got any solution then? Can you please share?

MRP elements on MD04

Hi Gurus,
We see planned orders in MD04 for a material. Please explain me how and when the system will convert this planned order to PR. The material is externally procured. please exaplain me about the MRP elements and and their relationship in MD04. I 'm new to MD04
Thanks
Ansuha

Dear Anusha,
Once after running MRP either at the header material level or at the material level,the system creates planned order/purchase
requisition depending upon the MRP control parameter given for create Purchase requisition at the time of MRP run.
The planned order/purchase requisition is one of the MRP element that can be seen in MD04,which is one of the important
screen for a production scheduler/purchase dept.
Converting a purchase requisition into a purchase order or else a planned order into a purchase requisition depends on the
business decision.Either you can convert the purchase req into purchase orders via MD04 or else using ME21N.
Likewise MD14,MD15,MD16 can be used for converting a planned order into purchase req.
Also a background job can be scheduled using T Code ME59N to convert the pur.req into purchase orders.
Check and revert back.

Closing of open MRP elements

Hi All,
I have a lot of open MRP elements in the system. They are since from 2000. The MRP elements are IndReq, DepReq, PchOrd, PurRqs, OrdRes, SubReq, Deliv, ConRel, PlOrd, Prdord, SchLne. So please tell how to close all the open MRP elements. All the materials will not be having all these MRP elements. Please tell me which MRP elements should be closed in decending order i.e. what should be the sequence.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You need to analyze case by case basis as to which are linked & the impact of deleting them.
But what you can do is, run MRP with Planning mode as 3, this will remove all procurement proposals (planned order / purchase rqn) which are not firmed. Now you can analyze the ones which are firmed, i.e. if it has been created manually or edited manually.
The production orders, purchase orders, scheduling agreements needs to be analyzed & based on the confirmation from both operations & finance personnel in your firm, you may proceed to delete / close the same.
It would be better if you analyze them thoroughly & if you face a specific issue then revert.
If helpful award points

Mapping ATP categories to MRP Elements

Hi All,
I am unable to change mapping of ATP categories to MRP Elements using SPRO settings under "Advanced Planning and Optimization - > Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) - > General Settings - > Maintain Category"
Under this settings, I could see mapping of ATP category to MRP Element but when I open it in change mode, I could not able to input the values for "MRP element" and "R3 Object" fields.
Could you please let me know the correct path in SPRO for mapping the ATP categories in APO to MRP Elements in R3.
Regards,
Sagar Dodla.

Thanks for your reply.
We have substitute orders created in APO(As part of interchangeability), the ATP categories of these orders are maintained as APO Local Object and not mapped to any MRP elements.
We need to transfer these substitute requirements/receipts to R/3. I thought that I can remove the "APO Local object" and map these categories to MRP elements so that these orders gets transferred to R/3.
Could you please suggest me how can I get Substitute orders into R/3.

Sagar Dodla

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...

About the MRP element.

hi,
My problem is as follows.
I have to find out what is next MRP element for the material/production version pair.
In my case to consider the production finish date for planned order date & scheduled end date for production order as next MRP element for the material.
If i got more than one production version for the same material,
what criteria should i apply for calculating next MRP element.

Hi,
Planned order:-A request created in the planning run for a plant to trigger the procurement of a plant material for a certain quantity for a specific date.
Customer order:- is nothing but sales order, A customer request to the company for delivery of goods or services at a certain time.

Pur req not generated for MRP element Planned order in stock reqmnts list

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a problem where in MD04, pur req is not generated for the MRP element Planned order for a future date (about two months from now). Is there a specific reason? why is it not being generated? The MRP type is PD. The procurement type is F - external procurement. Can anybody please help me on this?
Thanks
Anusha

Anusha,
?? Not sure I understand the question. Are you saying MRP is creating planned orders instead of purchase reqs? Or, are you saying that no proposals at all are being created outside of two months? Or, are you saying that the system is creating purchase reqs inside of two months, and planned orders outside of two months?
Regardless, these problems are probably related to your MRP settings. Try the following settings:
NEUPL   Regenerative planning
1       Purchase requisitions
3       Schedule lines
1       MRP list
3       Delete and recreate planning data
2       Lead time scheduling and capacity planning
on your MDBT screen.
