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.

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.

Schedule lines are not getting generated through MRP

Hello Experts,
While running MRP, we observed that the system is creating PR instead of schedule lines, although all the necessary prerequistes to generate schedule lines through MRP are maintained. For e.g.
1. MRP Schedule line relevant indicator '2' is maintained in the Source List.
2. Sch. Agreement dates and Source List validity dates are same.etc...
Further after some analysis, we observed that if we change the source list validity from date to some back date then system is creating correct schedule lines.
Example: Material M1; Planned delivery time 7 days; GR processing time 5 days; MRP Type PD; Lot Size WB;
SA validity dates - 07.09.2011 to 31.12.2011
Source List validity dates - 07.09.2011 to 31.12.2011
If MRP run on 12.09.2011 and source list dates are retain same as mentioned above, system creates the PR.
If MRP run on 12.09.2011 and source list dates changes to 05.09.2011 to 31.12.2011, system creates the schedule lines.
Could you please let us know, why the system behave like this?

Dear,
Welcome to SDN,
In transaction OMDT you have to enable the indicator create schedule lines
In MD02 MRP control Prameter here select the Delivery schedules -3- Schedule line. Processing Key as NETCH and Planning Mode - 3 delted and recreated.
Maintain source list ME01, in that put MRP indicator as '2' i.e. schedule lines via MRP.Put your agreement no in that.
If u run MRP properly u will get schedule lines automatically in ME38.
Make the schedule agreement, make it source relevent in the source list make is FIX and MRP indicator as 3.

'Releasestepcreated' not getting triggered for PR generated through MRP run

Hi,
I have PR Release strategy workflow configured, working well when i try to create PR manually, triggers workflow.
PR's created thorugh MRP run, triggers release strategy but not workflow.
I checked the event trace 'releasestepcreated' event not triggered through MRP run.
Please respond ASAP.
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.

Short Text
Workflow with multiple workitems
Long Text
Refering SAP notes that i came to know that workflow is not supported
through MRP run (md03/md04).we are not using Planned orders.
To trigger workflow for Purchase requisitions created by MRP run, we
have developed a custom report to trigger workflow explicitly.
1.MRP batch job runs every night. After MRP job,planned to schedule
another job to trigger workflow for PR's created MRP run.
2. Used FM 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT' to trigger workflow.
3. PR requires 5 levels of approvals based on release strategy
configuration.
4. The issue is PR 'XXX' created and waiting for approval in agent's
inbox.When 2nd day MPR runs same PR 'XXX' effected, another
workitem for the same PR in agent's inbox.
We have multiple workitems for the same PR in agent's Inbox.
If i execute one of the workitem,releases PR, multiple workitems are
getting generated for 2nd level approval for the same PR.
Please give your inputs to resolve this issue.

How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP

Hi,
How can we default a Purchase Organisation in the PR generated through MRP
(This is a Auto generated PR when the MRP Run is taken)
We take a MRP Run for CBP. After the MRP Run system Auto generates a PR. But this PR does not have the P.organisation mentioned in it. It has to be done manually.
How can we Default the P.Organiastion in the PR.
NS

The Purchasing Organization is only filled in the Purchase Requisition
when a source is assigned because it represents a source of supply.
Please also refer to attached note 206684 for more information.
When executing a MRP-run, it is checked first if there exists a quota
arrangement, the source list is read after it and the purchasing
organization is taken from the source list. But before filling
the relevant field in the purchase requisition (EBAN-EKORG), the
system checks if there exists a record in the source list which is
RELEVANT TO MRP, which means that the parameter 'MRP' has to be set to
'1'.
So please ensure that MRP = 1 in ME01 for the existing records and start
the next planning run with planning mode = 3 and check the results.

Vendor linking in PR created through MRP.

Dear Experts,
I have a issue with the vendor linking in the PR through MRP.
I have a material for which i have maintained the source list having only one vendor which is fixed with MRP indicator 1. Outline agreement is mentioned in the source list. Both having proper validity period.
Info record is maintained for the plant / material / pur.org / vendor combination.
Source list is ticked in the material master.
Now my concern is that, when MRP run taken system generated 2 PR's, one with vendor and one without.
Safety Stock is 3525 KG.
Lot size is WB
MRP Type is PD
Rounding value is 235 KG.
Base unit of measure is KG & order unit is EA. Conversion maitained is 1EA = 235 KG
Before taking MRP i was have a requirement of 2600 KGs.
So system generated 2 PR's. One PR for 2585 (Without vendor) & second for 940 (With vendor).
Delivery date for both PR is same i.e., 01/25/2012.
Kindly suggest.

Hi Mahesh,
First of all, the MRP indicator should be set to "2" - if you want MRP to generate schedule lines for the scheduling agreement.
If you set to "1", system will generate only PRs for the material.
Secondly, what is the requirement for 2600 KG for ? Is it Order Reservation coming from higher level BOM assembly?
If so, it would not have any vendor assigned to it.
Lets come back to what actually happened when you ran MRP:
System has planned for the safety stock quantity of 3525 KG which is a current requirement.
However, system found that there is a requirement of 2600 KG without vendor - it rounds off this to the nearest multiple of 235 KG ie it becomes 2585 KG for which it has generated 1st PR.
For the balance requirement - i.e (3525 - 2585) = 940 KG, system generates the 2nd PR and assigned the vendor from the source list.
Based on the planned delivery time for the material in the info-record, system has proposed the delivery dates for the PR.

PR through MRP..

Hi Expert ,
What all the configuration required to Generate PR through MRP..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please maintain the below settings for generating PR through MRP.
1. Maintain setting in Consumption based planning in MM
2.Use special procurement key
3.Assign the same in MRP 2 view of MM
4.Maintain a soursce list if req.
5.Run MD03 and create PR
6.Use ME57 or ME58
You can also schedule a job for the same. This will automatically take care of converting PR to PO. To automate the process of PO creation..then do all above basic settings along with the following settings:
1. Auto PO indicator in VMR and MMR
2. Maintain the sourcelist with relevent source and can also make it fix with the FIX indicator...
If you wanna make the schedule lines then need to use the MRP indicator as 2 in the source list..you can't get PO as the result of MRP run in standard system - you get only PR & you have to convert the PR to PO .

Sales Planning

Hi friends,
I need your help with the following issue:
The client requirement is to register in SAP a Sales Plan, based on the quantities they expect to sell during the planning period, they want to plan quantities as well as sales revenues. I can plan sales revenues using Profit Center Accounting but I dont know in which module I could plan quantities.
Thanks in advance,

PR and PO through MRP run

hi,
What are all settings to generate Purchase Requisitions through MRP run? Also, if, i wanna automate creation of Purchase order from Purchase Requisition (not manually). how to achieve this?
thanks..

Hi,
1. Get PR trough MRP run
1a, You have to have proper master data settings (e.g. material master: MRP type "PD", procurement type "F")
1b, Proper MRP creation indicator shoudl be used in MD01 / MD02 / MD03.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d2da044af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
1c, Your planning situation also influences whether you get PR or not. If there's no need to procure anything (e.g. you have sufficient stock level or you have no demand for the goods > MRP won't generate procurement proposal)
2. Convert PR to PO
It depends on your master data settings (material master, source list, QA, outline agreeemts, etc)
If you have proper master data settings and during MRP run it is possible to determine the source of supply, you can use ME59 to get the POs from the PReqs (otherwise you have to use ME57, ME58 too).
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4c/420d29470a11d1894a0000e8323352/frameset.htm
But you can't get PO as the result of MRP run in standard system - you get PR (or PldOrd) and you have to convert the PR to PO (or PldOrd > PR > PO).

Transfer sales plan to md61

Dear Experts,
In my Scenario Sales Deptt. Update sales Scheduling Agreement in SAP By VA31 and then MRP is running & creating Planned orders .
Now We wants to change our Process ,
NOW Before MRP Run we wants to transfer Sales schedule to Demand management MD61 , Where we can manually change Production plan which is not equal to Sales delivery schedule .
To copy sales schedule , I am doing Edit > Copy Requirement > Sales Plan > Total sales
Here system do not copy plan and shows below given error
u201C No production plan exists for product group XYZ u201C
Please let me know that how to copy sales schedules in Demand management (MD61) .
Regards,
ashutosh

Ashutosh,
???? VA01 and VA31 are not plans, they are sales documents (execution). If your question is 'does SAP support a direct copy from sales documents (such as sales scheduling agreements) to planned independent requirements, the answer is no. It would make no sense. Sales documents usually consume planned independent requirements, depending upon your planning strategy.
If you want your production plan to be increased, for the reason of planned scrap/yield loss, you normally enter that yield loss quantity in one of the scrap or yield fields in either the Material Master, or in the Bill of Materials (depending upon your planning methods). In this way, every time MRP suggests a supply order (planned order), it will suggest quantities large enough to cover planned yield loss. It is normally considered a waste of time to have a planner manipulate these types of numbers manually for each iteration of the production plan.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/f4/7d28d544af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/be/43bdd865f411d3b4e60004ac160649/frameset.htm
If your yield is totally unpredictable (according to your statements, this is not the case), then you would also consider using one of the standard planning tools (like Safety stock) to create some buffer stock.
Demand plans are usually not created for the sole purpose of accommodating yield issues. The most common reason to create a demand plan is to provide an orderly way to plan the entire supply chain in the most efficient manner. This is especially important when your customers demand a lead time that is longer than the total time to procure all raw materials and build all subassemblies for your finished goods.

Sales Planning vs Demand management

Can any body explain how to process the sales planning vs Demand management !

Hi,
Demand Management : The function of Demand Management is to determine requirement quantities and delivery dates for finished products assemblies. Customer requirements are created in sales order management. To create a demand program, Demand Management uses planned independent requirements and customer requirements.
To create the demand program, you must define the planning strategy for a product. Planning strategies represent the methods of production for planning and manufacturing or procuring a product.
Using these strategies, you can decide if production is triggered by sales orders (make-to-order production), or if it is not triggered by sales orders (make-to-stock production).You can have sales orders and stock orders in the demand program. If the production time is long in relation to the standard market delivery time, you can produce the product or certain assemblies before there are sales orders. In this case, sales quantities are planned, for example, with the aid of a sales forecast.
Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a flexible forecasting and planning tool with which sales, production, and other supply chain targets can be set on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data. Rough-cut planning can also be carried out to determine the amounts of the capacities and other resources required to meet these targets.
Use SOP to streamline and consolidate your companys sales and production operations.
SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning
SOP constitutes the planning functionality of the LIS information systems.
You pass on SOP plans to Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) in the form of independent requirements. In turn, this data is fed to Master Production Scheduling (PP-MP-MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP).
An interface with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) allows you to use CO-PA data as the basis for sales planning in SOP.
You can also pass on the results of SOP to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA), and Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-CCA).
Application Link Enabling (CA-BFA-ALE) supports the distribution of data to different operating units in your enterprise
I hope this information will help you.

Auto PO through MRP

I want to create PR & PO both automatically through MRP by the explosion of BOM.
how can I do this?
Pl detail in steps.
Regards
VS

Hi VS,
Auto PR creation through MRP is possible. While running the MRP system will generate planned order or Purchase requistion based on creation indicator. If u have a material type of both internal and external procurement type then u must select the creation indicator accordingly for PR generation.
For Auto PO u need to maintain Auto PO both in Material master and Vendor master. The PR must have a unique source assigned to it. You need to maintain a source list for this. By running ME59 u can create PO from PR.
Hope this helps.

No sales orders with MRP-relevant requirements were found MD04

Hello MM Enthusiast,
We are in process of EHP upgradation and I need to replicate the following error message,
No sales orders with MRP-relevant requirements were found
Error message MF 336
Please let me know how to get the above message in S environment.
I have gone through the already discussed thread (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3460655) but couldn't able to get the message MF 336.
Based on your response I can replicate and apply the causing / resolving note given by SAP AG.
Looking forward to your valuable input to proceed further on this issue
Cheers,
Kumar S

This issue was solved using a different availability checking rule in MRP3 of the material master.
the old checking rule had a requirements summary, while the new was for individual requirements, this setting is defined in OVZ2 customizing transaction.
Hence you need to enter a checking rule in your material master which has a A as sales requirement in OVZ2.
then create 2 or more new sales orders for this item for the same delivery date.
After that you should get the error in MD04

Inter company PR through MRP Execution

Hi Guys ,
Greetings!
How to get Inter company PR through MRP Execution
Note: i have done required configuration setting in MRP still i am unable to get the same.
Thanks in advances
Regards:
xxxxxxx

Hi Tata,
Say Plant X supplies to Plant Z and they belong to different company codes,
Create a special procurement key in plant X using transaction "OMD9". The key should be a copy of "40" or it self with defination that Plant Z as Special procurement plant.
Assign this special procurement key to material master in Plant X- MRP2 view, and in plant Z the defination of this material should be "E" - Inhouse production with BOM & Routing for production.
You should also setup the customer and assign that in the shipping data for plants in the mm-sto settings of SPRO. Here you also need to maintain the delivery/billing type and availability checks.
With this settings now if a Stock Transfer PO is created in Plant X againsts Plant Z or if a demand exists for the material in Plant X, the requirement is transfered to the plant Z and planned order is created for the same after MRP run based on the MRP parameters set in the material master in Plant Z.
Once GR is done with referance to the STO in Plant Z and PGI is carried out.
Once the material is recieved in Plant X, GR is created for the STO. This completes the logistic cycle.
Thanks
