Separate Doc.Type for MRP generated PRs

Dear All
We are facing an issue with MRP process where we want to automate the process from MRP run to PO creation.
In source list we will add the existing contracts and make it relevant to MRP so that after MRP run we will get source (vendor defined in the contract) assigned purchase requisitions. After that, we will create a background job for ME59n in order to get the POs automatically after MRP run.
In this process we are facing issue with the auto PO generation through ME59n as funds management (FM) related parameters such as Fund and Fund center need to be enetered manually at the time of PO creation in our system. So in order to avoid this manual entry we want to define FM derivation which automatically populate the fund & fund center in the MRP generated PRs.
Further, we have two options for FM derivation one is valuation class and the second one is Document type. If we define the FM derivation based on the valuation class we cannot only restrict to MRP generated PRs. Second option is separate document type for MRP generated PRs.
Please provide pros and cons regarding the creation of new document type for MRP. Also, please provide your suggestions or any work arounds for the above discussed scenario. Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi nagaraj
it makes sense . i will explore and tell you.
what about your source assignment standard program. hope it will assign source of supply if it is a valid unique source of supply else it will assign eprofile to your purcase request. check with technical resource how the satndard program behaves.
i will also explore my side again. check mm forum too on your purchase organisation assignment for your userexists.
one question to you.
when you create a PR for material and go to source of supply .why do we get many fixed vendors like contracts,info record if we have valid fixed vendors as sap ecc standard.but in my PR i may not have Purchase organisation information.

Thanks
Praveen

Hi
You can set different MRP doc.type: purchase requisitions for standard purchase order / purchase requisition for subcontracting / purchase requisition for subcontracting at MRP group level
Using transaction OPPR u2013 Select plant u2013 Select/create MRP group  under External procurement screen click on Scheduling/doc type.
And make sure that in material master u2013MRP1 view you are maintaining this MRP grp.

Best practices for approval of MRP generated PRs

Hi, all. I'd very much like to route our MRP generated purchase requisitions directly to the Purchasing department without the need for additional approvals, regardless of $ amount.
PRs not generated by MRP (manual) will still need to pass through a release strategy.
What is the standard industry practice for processing MRP generated PRs?
What have you seen?
Thanks in advance.
Sarah

Hi,
Well i haven't come across a situation which requires an approval of MRP generated PR's.
If the process of loading demands is controlled, then the output from MRP is by default controlled, unless there is some specific enhancements put in MRP calculation which does a change.
So if there is no such enahancements, then i do not see a need for the same.
So from a good practise perspective, i would look at controlling the demand & the manner in which it is entered into the system.

Vivek

Document type selection for MRP generated Purchase Requisition

Hi,
when I run MRP ,for externlal procurement items system is creating Purchase Requisition with Document type NB.How to make system to take different Document type automatically with MRP.
Thanks and Regards
Raghavendra Pai

Dear,
Go to SPRO-Materials Management--Purchasing Purchase RequisitionDefine Document types
Copy the NB and create and New Document type
You can default the document type from the MRP group.
Customizing is done in OPPZ transaction.
Once you have entered the MRP group to your material master MRP view, then next MRP run will create the requistions using the document types maintained to the MRP group.

How to configure wokflow for MRP generated & manually created PR

Dear Gurus,
I have to customize SAP workflow for releasing Purchase requisitions. I will be using enhancement M06B0001 for my own role resolution.
I have some questions regarding workflow
1) How to configure workflow for MRP generated & manually created PR?What are the steps? what are the limitations in doing so?
2) Since we are facing the problem of insufficient user license ,How to send notifications to NON SAP users?(We have thought of creating a Z table for the same)
Looking forward to your reply,
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

SAP MM Consultant

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your reply, & sorry for not responding on time.
Here are my constraints:
1) Not a single component of HR module will be implemented.(Project management decision:-()
2) Number of user licenses are less, considering the workflow users.(Hence we have thought of creating Z table for employee nos. & EMAIL IDs ,& this table will be accessed by using M06B0001 user exit.(It is still in development phase. Truely speaking, dont know whether it will work or not).If this works out ,then I believe, record from SU01 will not be used (Please correct me here).
3)We have 2 instances on development server.(in short,2 separate installations on same server by creating additional instance). What are the implications of this particular system landscape on workflow? Whether workflow will work or not??:-(, :-(.
The reason I asked you 3rd question is , As soon as 2 nd instance was created on development server, Short Dumps are coming while running transactions of Workflow builder.(SWDD & PFTC).It is giving error" Table is unknown or does not exist". Description of error says"The current program"SAPLSWF3 had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed."
"An SAP Open SQL Statement contains a table that does not exist in the database or is not listed in the ABAP Data dictionary.The Table is "SWF_WFPDSC" or another table is accessed in the statement.
Program=SAPLSWF3
Include=LSWF3U05
Row=22
Module name=SWF_WFP_REPOSITORY_CONTENT_GET
The same dump is coming while accessing SWF_WFPVW table from SE16.
Request to Mike & all of you, help me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance,

Release strategy for MRP generated PR.

Dear friends,
Can we have release strategy for MRP generated purchase requisitions.....
What are the steps required if yes.....
Plz. suggest....
Thanks in advance
Navin

HI,
IF you want to characteris MRP genrated PR then you have to define different document type other than the standrad one.
For this MRP define the release stratergy has usual procedure.
In case if ou dont have a different document type also the standard release procedure which you have conffigured will hold good.

Release Strategy not working for MRP generated PR

I have one qurey. Currently we are release strategy for normal PR.Now client want to activate release strategy for MRP generated PR.
current Release Strategy for normal PR configured as following.
Purchase requisition document     RV
Purchase requisition document     ZADV
Purchase requisition document     ZIMP
Purchase requisition document     ZSER
Purchase requisition document     ZSTD
Purchase requisition document     ZSTR
Purchasing group     A01
Total value of requisition for     > 1.00 INR
Creation indicator (purchase r     Realtime (manual)
Overall release of purchase re     Yes
For MRP generated PR I add creation indicator B - Material requirements Planning.Even after add creation indicator release strategy is not triggering for PR.
To trigger PR any setting need to do other than add creation indicator.

Sathish

Hi
You don't have to include creation indicator as parameter. Check in what documnet type MRP PR is generated. You can see it in t.code OMDT. At document type level also you can manage it. You need to include creation indicator only if a seperate person approves MRP generated PR.
To know how to configure release procedure see the below link

Default Doc Type for PO

Hi Friends..
I need your help in solving a Puzzle in SAP.
I want to use ME59N automatic po conversion option for creation of PO from PR.Here PR doc type is NB-Standard, I want PO doc type to be my own doc type " CT3 " doc type. I have made below settings,
a.Activated Auto PO in VMR.
b.Activated Auto PO in MMR
c.Linked my CT3 doc type in SPRO.
But, when I tried to do default doc type settings in SPRO, SAP didn't
accept this Tcode (ME59N) & hence not successfull.
SAP is taking default doc type as NB & not tailor made "CT3" doc type.
Pl respond.
Thanks, VK.

Hi,
You hve done settings for Automatic PO, I think those setting are not required for you. Because your scenario is not Automatic PO.
In ME21N transaction you can do personnel settings with this whenever you run the ME21N tcode by default system will pick tht doc type as default doc type. This can be user based setting.
Hve you maintained the combination of PO document type and PR docuement type ? If you are using onli CT3 PO document type, assign this PO document type only.
In SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Define default Doc types maintain the defulat doc type for ME21N transaction.
Hope its clear, still if u hve questions let me know.

Alternate document type for MRP requisition

Our purchase scenario is that all MRP purchased items must have an approved contract to move to a purchase order. In 95% of the cases, this will be true, but there will be that 5% that, due to expiration of the contract or quantity/value exceeded, a valid, approved contract will not be available. However, the purchase must still proceed.
Our thought is to create an alternate requisition type that the buyer could change the MRP requisition document to. This new document type would then be subject to requisition release strategy.
However, using an MRP generated requisition (creation indicator B), the document does not allow change of the document type. The new document type is a complete copy of the NB document type used in MRP proposal planning, including the number range. The only difference is that the new document type is subject to requisition release.
Changing the document type at the MRP group level won't solve the problem as very few materials will actually require this change. It would be temporary until the existing contract could be extended and approved or a new one created and approved. Also, it seems that the MRP group setting affects only the purchase order and not the requisition.
Is there a way for us to make this process work more smoothly than to have to copy the items from the NB document type to the alternate document type manually?

Assuming you have a material master involved, why not try MRP Group in TCode OMDT. You can assign the group to the material and that group can determine the PR type that is created.

Default PR type for MRP (planned order -- PR)

Hi Expert,
Is there any posibility to set default PR type for planned order - PR conversion from MRP?
in SAP standard, PR type is NB, we have configured specific PR type, let say PRM. The purpose is we do not need to change NB to PRM while converting the planned order into PR.
Pls help.Thanks
Rgds,

Hi Gurus,
This is my first post in this forum. Have been trying to search this forum for my case all day and found some answers but when i implemented it in my SAP , the answers didn't work.
The case is:
When i try to convert Planned Order to PR through tcode MD15/MD16, the system will propose PR Document Type NB as default. In my company we don't use that NB PR type. We have another 10 customized PR Type and one of them is for Replenishment. I'd like to set this ZR09(Replenishment) PR Type as default and it's not possible to choose another PR Type.
I have read several answers and implemented them, for example:
1. OPPR with MRP Group 000, and I found no indicator except Scheduling/Doc Type. I typed ZR09 in field Doc Type SPO but in MD15/MD16 other PR Types still appear with NB as default.
2. SPRO-MM- Consumption based planning u2013Procurement Proposal u2013 Define Order Profile or SPRO-PRoduction - MRP- Procurement Proposal - Planned Order - Define order Profile, when creating new entries with Object Type Planned Order/PR still canu2019t find my customize PR Type in field Order Type. Field Order Type only consist of 2 digits order type such as NB,LA,RS,KD,KB,PE,PR,VP. No place to choose PR Type ZR09 or other customized PR Type.
Can anyone help my case?
Thanks and regards,

Movement type in MRP generated reservations

Dear Experts ,
I have a scenario where in a particular material requirement is generated through MRP ( MRP Type PD)
The system creates a reservation with movement type 261 for that particular material.
BUT
My process of goods issue is as under :
The goods are received in main store .
The goods are transferred by the store keeper from main store to the production store .
Finally the goods are consumed from the production store against an order.
I WANT THE SYSTEM TO DEFAULT MOVEMENT TYPE 311 AND NOT 261 IN MRP GENERATED RESERVATIONS .
How can i do it ?
regards
Anis

Dear Anis,
Are you meaning the reservation for a production order?
In this case the system creates the reservation only once when the planned order is converted into a production order and
saved.Once after the production order is released the system allows you to post the good's issue against the reservation no in
MB1A.
Defaultly the system will create for 261 movement.
You can change this using the settings in OPKA(But think before making this change).
