Sales Plan At MRP area level

Dear All,
is it possible to maintain sales plan on MRP level? if yes How.
or if I will enter sales plan on Plant level can i tranfer to demand management on MRP area level if yes how?

Ahmed sobhi

Hi,
Please elaborate your query.
You must have gone to SE37 transaction to check this function module and you must have checked the import parameters on the the import tab.
When we call this fiunction module in Z program, we need to ensure that data is supplied so that import parameters are taken and data is updated in MDMA table.

Upload Forecasting parameters on MRP area level

Hi there,
Is there a way I can automate via Bapi or Idoc, the upload of the forecasting parameters on MRP area level.
The MRP area data is uploaded via IDOC /ISDFPS/MDMA but there is nothing foreseen for the forecast parameters.
Parameters that should be uploaded are DPOP-KZINI and DPOP-PRMOD.
Anyone an idea?

Dear Essam,
Please try the following procedure.
1. Create Plan in flexible planning --> MC93 (In this step you create Sales plan in flexible planning )
2.Sales plan verification transfer to active version--> MC8V (In this step you verify and transfer to active version)
3.Transfer sales plan to production plan -->MC8Q (In this step you transfer to sales plan to production plan)
4.Create Inactive Demand in Demand Management -->MD61 (In this step you create Independent Requirement which can be
simulative requirements. These requirements are set after analyzing sales forecast and production requirements together)
I hope it may help you out..
Feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Mohit

Sales Requirnment in MRP Area

greetings
i have Created Two raw material (trading ) .
In material master MRP views..i used MRP area (Respective Seting Done in SPRO).
Now i created sales order for the Two items......now if i see MD04..i m getting requirenment but not with MRP area..
I m using strategy as 40.
What seting or correction i have to do to see the Sales Order requirenment under MRP area.

1) Convert planning file entries - you must first convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to MRP area level in the planning file (OM0F)
2) Activate MRP for MRP areas (Production ->MRP -> Master Data -> MRP areas -> Activate MRP for MRP areas)
3) Define MRP areas
4) Assign material to MRP areas in Material master MRP1 view
The allocation to a storage location MRP area is made using the storage location that the system determines during the planning run. This is determined on the basis of the storage location entered in the BOM (BOM item), in the work center (production supply area), or in the production version or in the material master. This storage location must be included in the MRP area that you have assigned in the material master. In addition, it is necessary that the view "Storage 1" or "Storage 2" exists for this storage location in the material master.
Sales orders are assigned to a MRP area depending on their storage location (the issue storage location in the shipping screen of the item details).

Rounding value at MRP area level

Hi All,
We are using MRP areas at storage location level. Also we have maintained rounding value , one at plant level in mRP1 view and one at MRP area level for that particular storage location.
Now when we run MRP for that storage location specific MRP area one would assume that it picks up the rounding value maintained in that MRp area,but it is picking up the value maintained at plant level.
Am I missing some setting or is it std. system behaviour..pl. advise.
Tks..kiran

Hi Inguva
Can you give more detail of your solution? I have the same problem, MRP is creating requisitions using the lot size parameters from the MRP area but when converting to an STO using ME21N the lot size parameters from the plant are applied.
This usually increases the PO quantity beyond the PR quantity and I get an error message "06076 - Materials of requisition & item & alr. ordered in full"
It's driving me crazy so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Mass change of Reorder point at MRP area level

Hi,
I have another constraint.
MM17 will mass change the reorder point at plant level.
Is there any process to do mass change of reorder point for a particular MRP area level.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When I am doing mass change of reorder point through MM17 tcode selecting MARC table,it will chnage at plant level and getting reflected in material master once I save changes.
But I need it at storage location level.I tried to do this through MM17 tcode selecting MARD table,which will ask for storage location data(i.e storage location level).But after I save the changes,changes are not getting reflected in Display material-MRP1 view.
Can anyone pls suggest why this is happening.
Thanks in advance.

Sales planning through MRP

hi,
Our client has a requirement for MRP.
From sales side they want to enter sales tentative plan which will be integrated to MRP.
Please guide me how and where to enter the sales plan/sales budget.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
It is not exactly clear for me what do you mean by sales tentative plan.
You may consider using Sales and Operations Planning (SOP) and then transfer data to demand management.
Take a look on the following document for more details:
Standard SOP Process flow...
In some cases, it is not necessary to use SOP and you can input your sales plan directly on demand management.

Creating Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area.

Hi All,
I am trying to enter Planned Independent Requirements for an MRP Area, with requirement type VSE and I get the following error;
"Only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level".
I can enter at the Plant level with no problems.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Kevin.

The following is the excerpt from SAP [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/81/470a58ddab11d1b55b0000e82de178/frameset.htm] I think you maintained a planning strategy in the MRP view (for the plant) which doesn't support VSE.
You can delete PIRs from an MRP area by deleting the MRP area number from the Creating Planned Independent Requirements screen and recompiling.
When you define the planning strategies and parameters in the material master, these parameters apply to the whole plant, including all the MRP areas within the plant: You cannot maintain the MRP areas separately.
The integration of the MRP area and the assignment of the MRP area in the sales order is supported only by a user exit in the sales and distribution user exit pool.
Sales orders with MRP areas are created irrespective of the availability check control group in the material master.
Customer order processing of production sales orders with the item category (account assignment Step E Single) is only maintained in the MRP area of the plant.
In Customizing and in the MRP area user exit, make sure that when transferring individual sales orders, only requirements types KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE are generated.
The following requirements types are valid for the MRP area: KE, KEK, KEKS, KET, KELV, KEV, KEVV, VSEF, and VSE.
You cannot plan with preliminary planning materials in the MRP area.
There is no planning strategy for the material segment of the MRP area.
The planning strategy for the material master segment of the plant is assigned to the material segment of the MRP area.
The consumption mode and the periods of adjustment are derived from the plant in the MRP area of the material master.
Only consumption customer requirements with planned independent requirements are allowed: VSF requirements with KSV and VSFB with KSV.

Can PIR created at wbs element and MRP area of storage location level

Hi,
I tried to create an planned independent requirement at MRP area and WBS element level, but failed. The MRP area is not plant level, but storage location level.
*When trying to create account assignment category Q for it, then there is an error message saying:*
**only stock requirements are allowed when planning at MRP area level.**
Does it mean it is not possible to create planned independent requirement for this case?
Thanks!

Select the "Issue storage location" as '2' here:
spro -> production -> material requirement planning -> mrp groups -> overall maintenance of mrp groups -> overview -> mrp control parameters at material level -> (field) Issue storage location selection
& make sure:
1. In the BOM issue storage location is blank for the components
2. For the FG products , in mrp area prod.storage loc is maintained
3. Components are extended to the mrp area.
Pl. revert with the results

Planning a materail at plant level and the MRP Area

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to plan the same material at the plant level and at the MRP area level ( Storage location MRP)?. If so please provide the steps how this needs to be set-up. what will the implications on the MRP.
Thanks!
Nagesh.

Hi,
Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000. Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra) whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

MRP Area Wise Run for Sales Requirenment

Greetings..
I have two raw material (Trading).....in MRP view i defines these material under MRP area ...(Respective setting done in SPRO)
Now i created sales order for these Raw material .
Now in MD04 ...i m getting requirement but under plant....if i choose MRP area i m not getting Requirement...so if i try MD01 ...under MRP i m not getting Result of MRP..
I need two Run MRP only for MRP area which assigned to Raw material in Material Master
i m using Startegy 40..
What else setting i have to do for getting Run with MRP area (MD01)

1) Convert planning file entries - you must first convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to MRP area level in the planning file (OM0F)
2) Activate MRP for MRP areas (Production ->MRP -> Master Data -> MRP areas -> Activate MRP for MRP areas)
3) Define MRP areas
4) Assign material to MRP areas in Material master MRP1 view
The allocation to a storage location MRP area is made using the storage location that the system determines during the planning run. This is determined on the basis of the storage location entered in the BOM (BOM item), in the work center (production supply area), or in the production version or in the material master. This storage location must be included in the MRP area that you have assigned in the material master. In addition, it is necessary that the view "Storage 1" or "Storage 2" exists for this storage location in the material master.
Sales orders are assigned to a MRP area depending on their storage location (the issue storage location in the shipping screen of the item details).

MRP Areas in Flexible Planning?

Hi,
we are in the process of evaluating different planning tools for our long term planning. And I guess we have two options: APO-DP and Flexible Planning in ECC. We are a non manufacturing (government) organisation and want to try to forecast/plan future demand and requirements. We are getting our demands from maintenance orders and cost center consumption. Reqs are in the form of components on maintenance orders and STO's between storage locations in different MRP areas.
Is it possible to do flexible planning and taking mrp areas into account. Will it be possible to forecast future demands on Plant and MRP area level. Mind we are not selling anything through sales order, so we are not actively using SD org structure.
Best regards,
Kenneth

Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

MRP area for running a sale order MRP

Hello PP experts,
I come across a scenario where , I need to do the MRP run for sale order in a MRP area. I have checked , I can put PIR with respect to MRP AREA , but when I open MD50 screen for running MRP for sale order. I did not found the MRP AREA
field in the screen.
In short , my question is , How the sale order MRP run , system will do in a MRP
area defined for the material ?
Here , I have already defined the material is MRP AREA and also I have created
MRP area segment in the material master.
I have also configured the MRP area in SPRO.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,

Hello ,
Thanks for reply.
I am using plant MRP area. For FERT , I am using make to order strategy 20.
I want to specify the real problem. It is like below.
Suppose 'A ' is sumassembly goes to a variant configured MTO KMAT say 'V'.
The same 'A' subassembly is a child for a make to stock FERT say ' S'.
Presently using strtegy 11 for MTS fert 'S' and 10 for the subassembly ---'A'.
Now the planner want to plan for the subassembly.
He is putting the PIR for the subassembly as sales order is not availble and he is putting the PIR for FERT 'S'.
When sales order is coming then additinal quantity planning is happening.
So I suggested to use the strategy 70 for subassembly 'A' , so the sales order (of 'V') OF quantity will be offset for the PIR of the SUBASSEMBLY 'A'.
But the consumption of PIR of 'A' will be apllicable to MTS FERT that is 'S'.
So how can we prevent the system from offsetting the dependent requiremet triggered from the PIR of 'A'.
That means the consumption (that is the usage of stategy 70) of the FERT requirement should only work for ' A' and sales order based KMAT 'V'.
The same offseting should not work for subassembly 'A' and MTS FERT 'S'.
For for Make to order KAMT 'V' , if I use MRP area and do the sales order planning in MRP area. Will I get the desired result ?
Waiting for reply.

Ravindra

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?

Planning file entry for MRP Area

Hi,
To create planning file entry in the background at plant level we use Transaction MDAB. I would like to know that if MRP area is active than whats the T-code for planning file entry in the background at mrp area level?? To create manualy in the Trx md20 we have that option to select mrp area & plant. So please let me know yours view on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Dear,
If planning file entry are there on plant level then system will convert same on MRp area level. Have you check that tables? (DBVM)
For planning file entry at MRP area lvel , use report RMDBVM00 (transaction OM0F) to convert the existing table MDVM with the planning file entries into table DBVM. The conversion is also described in MRP Customizing: TA OPP1 -> Planning File Entries.
There is no need of MDAB just check your entry in MD21 take a MRP run at MRP area lvel and come back if any problem.
If you want to schedule it on MRP area lvel then use the MDRE or use program RMMDVM10 and in variant here select the MRP Area redio button.

Sap pp -MRP-area

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls tell me the Procedure/steps/Details to maintain MRP-area for a Vendor & also for a Sub-Contractor.
Any comments welcome & Thanks in advanc

Hi,
Pls. find the following details regarding MRP Area :
MRP Area
Definition
The MRP area represents an organizational unit for which material requirements planning is carried out independently.
Basically, there are three types of MRP area:
Plant MRP Area
The plant MRP area initially contains the plant together with all its storage locations and stock with subcontractors.
When you have defined MRP areas for storage locations and for subcontractors and you have assigned the materials, the plant MRP area is reduced by exactly this number of subcontractors and storage locations. This is because they are now to be planned separately.
MRP Areas for Storage Locations
You can define an MRP area that consists of a particular storage location, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage location to it. Material requirements for this storage location are then planned separately from the rest of the plant.
You can also group several storage locations into one MRP area, by creating an MRP area and assigning the storage locations to it. These storage locations are then planned together.
A storage location of a plant may be assigned to only one MRP area.
MRP Areas for Subcontractors
You can also define an MRP area for each subcontractor.
A subcontractor may be assigned to only one MRP area. An MRP area of the subcontractor type may also only contain one subcontractor.
Use
You can carry out MRP specifically for the determined MRP areas. This enables you to carry out differentiated material requirements planning. The requester can be, for example, the production on a particular assembly line or a subcontract order.
The MRP area allows you to have specific control over the staging and procurement of important parts produced in-house and purchased parts for each shop floor area. You can, however, also plan the provision of components for the individual subcontractors.
MRP areas of the storage location or subcontractor type are only suitable for:
components that are planned and produced for stock
finished products that are planned and produced for stock. By assigning a storage location in a sales order or by entering an MRP area when creating the planned independent requirements, you can define whether a material is planned in the plant MRP area or in the MRP area of the storage location.
Finished products and important assemblies intended for make-to-order or engineer-to-order production are always planned in the plant MRP area.
The planning run takes into account the planning with MRP areas as follows:
If you do not enter a separate scope of planning, the system plans the whole plant, that is, all MRP areas in the plant, during the total planning run. If you want to carry out a total planning run for a particular MRP area only, you must specify the required MRP area in the scope of planning.
During single-item, multi-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered. In addition, the system takes into account planning file entries from other MRP areas, for example, if the material is to be procured using stock transfer.
During single-item, single-level planning, the system plans the selected material in the MRP area entered only.
Structure
You define the MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. You can thereby assign the following to an MRP area:
one or more storage locations (example: you want to carry out planning for a particular assembly line and therefore assign a production storage location to the MRP area)
a subcontractor.
You assign the various MRP areas to the materials in the material master. For this, you create an MRP area segment for a material for every MRP area, in which it is used. In this MRP area segment, you can define MRP parameters such as, for example, the lot size or MRP type. This allows you to plan the material differently in the MRP area from how you plan it in the plant MRP area.
MRP with MRP areas for the material is not activated until the material has been assigned to an MRP area. If you have not assigned a material to an MRP area, that is, you have not created an MRP area segment in the material master, the material will continue to be planned in the plant MRP area only. If you have assigned an MRP area to it, the system can plan it in the plant MRP area and in the assigned MRP area.
Integration
You can carry out material requirements planning for MRP areas using all MRP procedures and all lot-sizing procedures.
You can also carry out an independent material forecast for MRP areas using your own parameters.
The material consumption values are updated separately for each MRP area.
A separate ATP check is carried out for each MRP area.
If several storage locations belong to an MRP area, the system can also carry out a check at two levels, that is, at storage location level and at MRP area level.
Example: Subcontractor
You can also carry out planning for components to be provided in subcontracting using an MRP area by defining an MRP area for every subcontractor and assigning the components to be provided to the MRP area of the subcontractor. You therefore plan the requirements to be provided for these components for one subcontractor separately from all other requirements (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
Depending on the requirements situation, the system creates either stock transfer reservations from the plant to the stock of material provided of the subcontractor or it creates purchase requisitions within subcontracting/third-party order processing, according to the special procurement key settings.
Implementing MRP Areas
Implementation Options
The main reason for you to implement MRP areas is if you would like to plan materials, which are required in different shop floor areas, storage locations or by subcontractors, separately from one another.
As soon as you have activated materials requirements planning with MRP areas, this type of MRP is active at client level, that is, MRP will be carried out in this way in all plants.
Material requirements planning with MRP areas cannot be reversed.
Process Flow
You can implement material requirements planning with MRP areas in three steps:
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
During the conversion, the system creates a plant MRP area for every plant as a background job. This, however, will not affect your planning. The processes in material requirements planning and the planning results remain unaffected.
The conversion is also useful even if you do not work with MRP areas, but still have to plan for several plants, as the new planning file improves system performance during the planning run.
You activate MRP with MRP areas in Customizing for MRP. This causes the MRP area field to appear in the applications of MRP and in related areas. When you enter the plant number, the system automatically fills the field with the number of the plant MRP area. The number of the plant MRP area is the same as the plant number.
This does not affect the planning run as the plant MRP area still corresponds to the present plant.
You define an MRP area, for example, for a storage location. You then assign the materials that are to be planned for this storage location, by creating an MRP area segment in the material master.
Materials requirement planning for this storage location is then carried out separately. The storage location stock is no longer included in the available stock of the plant MRP area. The receipt and issue elements of this storage location (MRP area) are also not taken into account in the plant MRP area. They are only taken into account in the MRP area of the storage location.
If you have already worked with storage location MRP the system still carries out storage location MRP even after the activation of MRP areas. You need to decide in principle whether you want to continue using storage location MRP or whether you want to create MRP areas for the storage locations that are planned separately. It is not possible to simultaneously plan a material using storage location MRP and an MRP area for the same storage location.
If you decide to use MRP areas, you should then try to convert all storage locations that are planned separately to MRP areas in one step. Before you assign the material to an MRP area, you must remove the MRP indicator, which is located in the material master at the storage location organizational level (view MRP 4) in the screen area Storage location MRP.
Even if you have defined MRP areas in Customizing, the system plans the materials in the plant MRP area until you assign the MRP areas to the materials.
Only the assignment of one or more MRP areas to a material, by creating MRP area segments in the material master, actually cause changes in the material requirements planning.
Hope this helps.

Tejas
