Source List - MRP Run

Hi all ,
In our production server Source List is maintained for a material .
The first line contains a vendor ( say Vendor1 ) with MRP relevant indicator 1
2nd line contains another vendor (say vendor 2 ) with fixed indicator checked and MRP relevant indicator as 1 .
1)For both vendor the date range is same
2)No quota arrangement exists .
But while MRP run for that material Vendor1 is automatically assigned instead of vendor 2 . (althoug vendor 2 is Fixed )
What may be the reasons ?Please suggest .
Regards,
Anupam

Hi,
System doe not take care of "fixed" indicator in source list during MRP run as per OSS note 668764:
1. Question:
The fixed indicator is set for a source list record. Is this source list record preferred for a planning run?
Answer:
Only the source list records, for which the indicator 'Source list usage in materials planning and control' is set, are taken into account during a planning run; the fixed indicator is of no importance here. See Note 206684 for more information.
Please also check the mentioned OSS note (206684)

Hi,
Thank you for your information. but i have given MRP 2 System was not taken below error is showing.
You can define only scheduling agreements for scheduling purposes

Diagnosis
    The source of supply calls for delivery schedule lines in MRP, but the
    outline agreement entered is a contract. Delivery schedules/schedule
    lines are only possible with scheduling agreements.

Fixed Vendor in Source List not picking in MRP proposals

Dear All
For a matrial, we have maintained two Contracts as Sources in Sourcelist. Both sources are valid and MRP relevant(MRPindicator 1 in Source list)
We then fixed the second Source ( fix indicator in second line in Source List)
Then Run MRP. The expectation was that the second source will be picked as its fixed. But the MRP proposed Purchase Requstion and Planned orders are picking the first source only (non fixed one)
Wanted to to clarify whether the fix source indicator does not have any relevance during MRP ? OR is it some other problem?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hello
As already mentioned by Jürgen, the indicator 'Fixed source of supply' is not considered by MRP at all.
See the following note which explains that in more detail:
110074
MRP: Source of supply, several valid source list records
Therefore, please make sure that there is only one source list item relevant to MRP.

BOM Explosion in MRP runs for sub-contracting PO

Hello Experts,
We have sub- contracting Purchase order in business scenario.
Subcontracting PO is required to be considered as demand for MRP. As I have checked PO is showing in MD04, after MRP run using transaction code
MD02 subcontracting BOM not exploding.
Sub contacting PO raised on “X” procurement type material, PR is required on BOM item “F” Procurement type
Please suggest what all special setting is required as master data & configuration data.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
In the header or parent material (the material that is being produced bu your subcontractor) you have to maintain the following data:
Procurement type = F
Special Proc Type = 30
MRP Type = PD
Lot Size, Minimum Lot Size, Rounding Value: Enter what is convinient for your business.
Be sure you have a BOM (CS01)
Create a Production version indicating the BOM (C223)
Enter Selection Method 3 in the MRP4 view of the material master
Create an Info Record (type Subcontracting).. (ME11)
Create a Source List (ME01)
Run the MRP and check MD04
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Fixed vendor in source list not recognized by MRP

Hi
I have a source list (ME01) with a listed info record for a particular plant/purch.orgvendor/material combo.
I have ticked the fixed vendor tick and flagged it as MRP relevant (MRP=1).
When I run the MRP the purchase requisition is created but the vendor field in the purchase requistion is empty. Somehow the MRP does not recognize the source list settings. No fixed vendor is allocated to the purchase requisition.
Validity period of source list is checked.
I have checked the User exit LMEQR001, but nothing is implemented.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hello Lars,
Please check the following settings in cutomization;
SPRO>>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Environment Data>>Define Default Values for Buyers.
Select : Double Click: Settings for Default Values.
Now select the group and go to Source determination Tab.
In tab under pre-setting of automatic source dtermination indicator.
Tick the check boxes Create purchase requistion and create purchase order vendor unknown.
Note: In ME01, if your vendor is external then you have maiantain thye vendor in vendor fileld. If vendor is internal (say plant to plant transfer) then vendor needs to be maintained under ppl field.

MRP area in Source list

Hello
Can anyone tell me how the MRP Area field (BERID) is maintained in source list (transaction ME01). In my system it is greyed out?
We are running MRP at MRP Area level and I was hoping that this field would allow me to maintain source lists at this level.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Sue

Hello Sue,
The MRP area field will appear if you are planning with MRP option 2 - Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
You can see help document below explaining this process:

MRP VS Source list

We removed the fixed indicator in the source list .But still purchase requisition is considering the fixed vendor in the MRP run .
What might have the reason ? Any input will highly appreciated .
Thanks
JJ

Dear JJ,
In my understanding even if you have removed the Fixed vendor indicator,if you have assigned 2 vendors in the source list in
ME01 for the same material ,I mean if more than one source of supply exists for a material the system picksup the first vendor.
Correct me If I'm wrong on this concept.
Check and revert back.

MRP - source list!!

Hi All,
I have two vendors in the source list. I have fixed the second vendor in the source list.
When I run the MRP for the material the system assigns the first vendor to the PR and not the second vendor which is fixed!!
This is something strange. The MRP run should always pick the fixed vendor as per my understanding.
Is this a timing issue? Is it that the MRP only considers master data that I have created yesterday?
I say this because in certain cases when I have maintained the source list or the quota arrangement it was effective only the next day and not on the same day!! Is there any specific config related to MRP for this?
Regards,
Vishal

hi,
A.check for the few things:
1. Always remember the source determination is in this way:
a. quota arrangement
b. source list
c. outline agreement
d. Inforecord
Now check whether there is any exsisting vendor record for the quota arrangement...
B. Check the validity period of the source list...
C. check whether there is A vendor ticked or mentioned as "Regular vendor"
D. Also check whether the B vendor for whom you want the MRP to run, is indicated as MRP relevent or not...with the MRP indicator in the source list...
Check these parameters..

Source List for MRP Area

Is there a possibility to maintain source list for MRP purposes
at storage Location level? We receive requirements from a couple
of our subsidaries and we were consolidating this to be a single
requirement for our suppliers, however this has changed we have
to now show each subsidary's requirements individually. We
currently only use a single plant, previously we created
additional plants for this and maintained a separate source list
for each. Is this the best way to represent and run MRP for each
subsidary? Thanks.

Dear Kennedy,
Source list for Storage Location level not possible!!
An MRP area represents an organizational unit for which you can perform material requirements planning separately.
An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or a subcontractor. You can define MRP areas in a plant.
By defining MRP areas, you can perform MRP for each area. This means the right quantity of materials can be provided on time for each area, such as a production line, a storage location for spare parts, or subcontractor stock.

Muralidhara

Source List validity dates for MRP only

Hi.
Is there a way to do the following:
Set purchasing view "source list required" so that the material must be purchased from ANY of the sources on the source list... AND...
Setup the source list so that there are no overlaps, and MRP sources from consecutive contracts based on the source list validity dates.
For example, 1/1/10 to 5/1/10 -> Contract A (mrp relevant); 5/2/10-10/1/10 -> Contract B (mrp relevant). But on 5/3/10 I want to be able to manually change the requisition away from "B" and release against Contract A. In other words, I want MRP to get the sourcing close to correct, but allow the user the ability to override the MRP sourcing, AND still ensure that the source the user picks is on the source list somewhere.
When I try this now, the system generates "Source list not included in list despite source list requirement." The source list checking seems to be done all the way at the validity period level.

hi,
I understood your concept. Please explain it clearly so that why this message
is appearing " Source list not included in list despite source list requirement"
can be found out

Time stamp in MRP list after MRP Run

Hi Gurus
After running a MD01-MRP at scope of planning level, with processing key as NETCH, materials which had no planning file entry also were updated with the latest executed MRP run time stamp in MRP List MD05.
Is it the standard behaviour? As per my understanding, the materials with no planning file relevant change is not included in the MRP run with processing key NETCH/NETPL. Then how does the time stamp be relevant for the latest MRP run while the material was never included in the mrp itself?
Regards
Deepak Prasanna S

Dear Deepak,
If my understanding is correct only if a mterial is included in the last MRP run(MD01/MDBT) then the time stamp gets included in the
MRP list which can be checked and confirmed through MD05 and also the output of last MRP run.
Once after the MRP run is completed the system deletes the corresponding planning file entries in the system.
On completion of the planning run, the appropriate indicator is automatically deleted in the planning file:
The system deletes the net change planning indicator and the net change planning horizon indicator for a regenerative planning
run and a net change planning run.
The system only deletes the net change planning horizon indicator for a net change planning run in the planning horizon.
Check and revert back.

Not able to find the source requirement of MRP RUN-(for planned order)

Dear All,
Actullay In MRP run system is generating 10000 qty in planned order but in MD61 there is only 3000 qty and no sales order requirement also exists for the same. And when i rerun the MRP by choosing option 3 in planning mode, then also it is generating the planned order for 10000 qty only but Iam not able find out the base requirement for that. Kindly suggest me the solutions.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi
In MD04 at bottom, you can see a button for pegged requirement, click there you will come to know the list of requirement. It is not only because of Planned independent requirement you maintain in Md61, it could be due to lot size in Material master, or if you have fixed vendor in sourcelist then it could be because of Minimum order quantity with the vendor, or it could be safty stock or reorder point maintained in Material master
